Capitol Notes.

Something over 100 Tonkawa In
dians are still about Fort Griffin. The
matter of their being transferred to
Indian reservations has been referred
to Governor Roberts, who, having no
power to act in the premises, has for
warded all papers to Representative
Wellborn for him to urge such action
as may be necessary. These Indians
deserve kind consideration. They
have always been the friends of the
whites, and it Is said have never killed
or molested white people. They were
the friends of Texans years ago, when
struggling for independence from Mex
leo, and from the perpetual assaults of
depredating and murderous bands of
red skins, and when their case is
properly presented before Congress
they will certainly be provided for.

the Old Alcalde's Position In ,6I
On the twenty-eighth of January,
1861. the secession convention met IN
the House of Representatives in this
city, and proceeded to the election of
officers.
Hon. P. w. Gray, of Harris county,
nominated Hon. o. N. Roberts, of
Smith county, for president. Mr..
Fields nominated Hon. VIM. B. Ochil-
tree, of Harrison county, who respect
fully declined and moved that Judge
Roberts be declared president of the
convention by reclamation. The mo-
tion was carried, and the president was
conducted to the chair, whereupon the
Old Alcalde arose amid the wild ap-
plsuse and desfening shouts of an i'm
mense audience and delivered the fol-
lowing eloquent and appropriate
speech:

The crisis upon rs involves not only
the night of self-government but the
maintenance of 9 great principle in the
law of nations (the immemorial recog-
niton Of the institution Of slavery wheI-
ever it is not locally prohiblted), and
also the true theory of our general
government as an association of SOW
ereignties, and not blended mass of
people in one social compact. How
ever grave the issues now presented
may be, trust this body will be fully
adequate to their solution in such :
manner as to preserve the rights of the
state. While not insensible to the
great honor conferred upon me BY this
body Of distinguished citizens. / am
aware that my selection Is attributable
more to my position in the judiciary
of the state than to my experience or

most probably escape entirely the pun

Military science" said Bonaparte,
Consists in calculating all the chances
accurately in the first place, and then
in giving accident exactly, almost
ENTHUSIASTICALLY, its place in oDe's cal
culations. 1t Is upon this point thai
one must not deceive ones self, and
that decimal more or less may change
all. Now, this apportioning of acci-
dent and science can not get into any
head except that of . genius, for genius
must exist wherever there Is creation /;
and sssuredly the grandest imprcvisa-
ton Of the human mind is the gift OF
an existence to that which has il not.
