WILL God hold people guiltless
who persistently suffer murder to go

ture adjourn leaving modes of trials,
delays, appeals, continuances, changes

of the guilty through the meshes of q
network Of laws conceived in behalf of

TIE communication printed to-day on
free schools is from an old Texan whose
name is as familiar throughout the I'm,
ion as household words. The subject
is one that crearea deep interest, and
from manifestations all over the State
the Legislature is in error when it as
sumes that the people of Texas are
willing to maintain system of free
schools at this day. Such PROPOSE
ii on presented to the people would be
defeated by four-fiiths of the intelligent
voters of the State. They are opposed
to it on principle, and God knows with
the hard times and unfavorable crop
prospects of this year they would de-
feat it if for no other reason than
through necessity.

Mn. RANDALL denies that he was the
Tilden candidate for the speakership.
The Loulsville Age declares that most
of Blackburn's sdherents are opposed
to Tilden. How can this be true when
Joe Blackburn, Rsndall's rival, impul-
sive and hot headed as he is, openly
and everywhere declared himself the
sdherent of Thurman. 1t was noton-
ous in Washington, when the contest
was pending, that Randall was Tlden's
nominee, aud then Randall and his
friends assented to the currency Of this
opinion. Why is it row stated BY
Randall that he Was not Tilden can
didatei Bat thea Tildsn meyer knew
about his nephews expenditures on
ciphsf diapatchss.

AT sunset last Monday evening the
greatest of Jewish festivals, the Pass
over, was inaugurated. Everybody
knows it was intended by Moses to
commemorate the extraordinary deliv-
erance of Gods chosen race. The
tenaclty with which Hebrews adhere,
in all countries and as affected by all
civilizations, to the traditions, forms
and obseryances of their fathers is the
worlds wonder. However dispersed
or occupied or governed, the laws OF
Moses are never forgotten, and this
celebration Of the Passover will be as
worldwide as the diffusion of this pc
culiar race. The lamb is still sacrificed
as of old and unleavened bread eaten
in every Hebrew household. Learned
rabbi in synagogues and tabernacles
still tell of miraculous events that Af-
fected the escape of the Hebrews from
Egyptian bondage, and the story of
the exodus and its perils and of the
pillar of cloud by day and of fire by
night, under which the flying people
of God gathered smbrosial mama will
be recounted with tears and eloquence.
How the priest exults when he recites
Gods promises to the faithful and un-
yielding racel How earnestly and
confidently do they look forward to
the rebuilding of the temple on Zion's
hill and to the rehabilitation of Pales-
tine with its sublime theocracy A
thousand years OF absence and weary
pilgrimage have only purified, as with
fires of persecution, the ardor of the
Hebrews love for the Holy Land, and
with each dIssolvipg year the distance
in time separating Goods people
from their terrestrial home, ever blessed
OF God, is lessened. AS the consum-
nation Of Hebrew hope and deliver
ance draws nigh, their love of the law
and its behests. and ceIemonials and
feasts and forms and blessed memories
grows stronger, and more fervent are
prayers uttered and the sweeter the
incense offered IN sacrifice and songs
and praise.

IT WILL be seen from a report of tha
Comptroller, to be found in the jour
nails of the II Iuse, that there is due from
tax collectors on unsettled bonds over
q half million dollars-enough to pty
all the deficiency claims against tie
State. Suit has been brought in the
Travis county court on many of the
bonds, where judgment is generally
obtained by default. These suits
should be conducted by the Attorney
General. AS it is they are placed in

The compromise proposed, that Ten,
nessee will pay fifty cents on the dol
lar and four per cent. interest on the
public debt, is only fair and right.
Money is worth four per cent. and
Texas should pay no more, and Ten
nessee honestly owes only about one
half the sum total of outstanding
bonds. Half were sold or disposed OF
in violation of law known to the
purchasers or stolen outright.

THE Democrats in the pending ugly
business in Washington have the right
on their side, and those military cleo
lion laws should be repealed; but the
accomplishment Of this purpose is not
sufficiently important to justify a sec

rows in Congress. 1t Will excite ter
rible sectional dissensions and cause us
to forget practical aud financial ques-
tons and is designed to compel the

certificates have become valid claims
urder the very letter of the law, aud
the matter stands res iHdieata. L. seems
reasonable that these claims should be
paid without any delay or trouble to
the holders. An sudItorisl board, sit
ting upon the legality of SUCH claims,
when that question has been finally
settled under the Jaw, under which
the claim arose, is superfuous. The
scheme was one of Col. Bob Taylor, of
Fannin, who, when he succeeded in it,
made a ghsstly smile at the expense of
the dominant element of the House.

IF Congress come to dead lock and

such row and excitement over the
