The San Antonio Herald Gays there
is but one question in reference to
which all newspapers Of Texas concur.
It affects the construction of the new
capitol. Good men, exceedingly nerv-
Gus when they vote, because the dear
people at home may condemn, need in
dulge no fears on the subject. A de-
cent capitol, worthy Of the imperial
extent and growing greatness of this
vigorous commonwealth, 10 demanded
by every public exigency and every as
piration of local patriotism. The
''mossbacks" would have it reared in
attestatIon OF the virtues and deeds of
those who created the State, giving it
resources with which to construct u
proper monument to the fathers of the
Republic. Modern progressive Texas
would have tasteful and imposing
structure that the living of our time
and their posterIty through unnum-
bered years may confess the presence
OF that genius in art attested by grace
full forms in stone and marble, like those
which proclaim the glones and renown
of old republics in the splendors of the
Pdrthenon.

On the eighteenth instant & special
session of Congress will be convened
that the army and legislative
bills may be enacted. The former
was voted down because 1t was
trammeled with an amendment declsr-
ing that the military power of the GOV
eminent should not be employed at
voting places. There should be no
army If it must be used Tor such pur-
poses, and on this assumption the
Democrats have acted. The new Con-
gress will accept the army bill as il
is, and the extra session may be very
brief. 1t renders the early transfer Of
Hon. George Washington Jones from
Bastrop to the Federal capital CAPT

privilege of taxing the bonds. But is
established facts drawn from past ex-
perience, to say that with a tax
clause hanging over these bonds, with
assessors ready to write them down in
their long. gloomy lists, and collectors
TO call and take from their intrinsic
value q 1.-THE, that these bonds would
take wings and away to realms be
youd the borders of the Lone Star
Safe. Yes sir, the first wintry blasts
OF December would find them going
sway out OF the State by
every departing steamer or rail-
wsy train for toe first
day Of January, if they should
be found in the State, would deduct
materially from their value. Then,
sir, under this system you would find
the State would pay an increased iD-
terest of one per cent. for the superla-
lively grand privilege of taxing the
bonds; yet there would be 70 bonds
to tax! AS an evidence of this let Us
look at the present bonded indebted
ness CT the State 1t is more than
50, 900, 600. Yet am told that your
Comptroller's books do not show q rem
dltlon of 5000. 900 of this for taxation.
Even the 81, lis, coo of pensions, with
coupoos payable only in Austin, are
not in the State. Is it not reasonable
to suppose, then, from this that your
new bonds would likewise render you
no money from taxation? Why, then,
should we pay one per cent. more for
a privilege we cannot exercistl
Thus, sir, / have gone over the
chief objection raised to these per
cent. bonds. There is one other re-
naming which l will answer and then
| am done. l have been asked to ex-
plain why the necessity of taking up
the upmstured bonds9 The answer l
have already given by showing that
the State would be the gamer of
very large amount in the end by so
doing. The only reason which could
Influence this Legislature in that meas
ure would be the saving of more than
81, 600, 600 in twenty-five years. Ger
tainly, sir, it strikes me this alone
should be inducement enough for our
prompt action.
Now, sir, have discharged my du-
ties in this matter. Ii the bill passes
and becomes law | feel confident of
the good it will work for the State,
but, sir, should it not pass, or should
1t be rendered imperative through dis
astrOus amendments, then l have no
further responsibility in its regard.

lneTe is another matter growing mp
incldently from this discussion and
that is, sir, the policy, 30 to speak, of
the State exempung the bonds from
taxation. OF course, sir, we are to
presuppose the case for argument sake
that the State has the right to tax these
bonds. Now, sir, ! desire TO put it
plainly as q matter of dollars and cents,
is 1t advantageous to the State TO levy
and collect tax on these bonds or per
centrs, is it to her interest, weighing
that matter from g pecuniary point of
view, not to assess or collect the taxi
Certainly / would say that waving sill
considerations of principle in the mat
ter, the State would, at the end of
each year, come out of the Transaction
with more money by not taxing than
by taxing the bonds. Let US illustrate
this point go there will be no mistsk-
ing the truth of what is here asserted.
We are told by gentlemen upon the
floor, and anu willing to cOBcede that
they know and can vouch for what
they say, that the taxed bonds cannot
be placed in = foreign market, and /
mean by that, any money censer out
side Of the State, Tor less than five par
cent. say, sir, that l am willing to
accept this theory - the correct one,
that with no tax exemption the State
must psy one per cent more for money
than she would il we thould insert the
clause exempting the bonds. Now,
sir, We have plead down TO an issue.
What il the difference between the
one per cent. additional on the
IS, 000, 900 to be put in bonds
and the amount which would
be collected in the way OF taxes. The
calculation is easily made The
State tax is one-hslf Of one per cent.
and that IL just one half of what
would be paid in excess 20 the bond
holder That il. providing the bonds
should Remain in the State. On this
showing the State would lose Just one
half Of one per cent. besides the cost
OF assessing and collecting, for exer-
eising the grand, gsono1s and peculiar
