Hon. james F. Miller, of Gonzales,
thinks that in the gubernatoriol race
Governor Roberts VIII lead all others
by large majority, although IN the
election contest he will probably haYe
the ssioon-keepers and their friends
against him on account of his "bell-
punch" and "Sundsv law" proclivi-
ties. Mr.. Miller thinks that the DEM
ocratic opponents of Governor Rob-
erts viii endeavor to form combins-
ton with the Radicals and put an IN
dependent candidate in the field, which
will mske very close contest for the
gubernatorial chair. He is not in ia
vor OF the Sunday law as it now
stands, but thinks that public opiI-
ion would cause the merchants to
keep closed on Sunday, while q
law prohibiting saloon keepers from
selling liquor on the Sabbath should
be incorporated in their license, q vio-
lstion OF which would cause forfeit
ure of the same. He also favoTs the
holding of county conventions for the
purpose of nominating senators and
members of the legislature, for, says
Mr.. Miller, the party are held RESPONSE
BILE for the acts of those who run inde-
pendently where conventions have
faded to put candidate in the field.
He also gave it ss his opinion that

STATE SENATOR A. W. HoUsroN,

STATE SENATOR A. w. Houston,
of San Antonio, returned from Austir,
and he tells the Express that while
here he endesvored to inform himself
on the position taken by Attorney Gen
eral Mccormick on the question of the
validity of the charter of the Interna-
tional Railway Company. The Attor-
ney General assured Mr.. Houston that
he was not opposed to the Iuterna-
tional moving west, but rather should
be disposed to favor it, as all his in
terests were in Western Texas. He
believed that the International had
forfeited Its charter, and that when
the legislature met again the matter
would be brought before that body,
with an application from the Interna-
tional for a renewal of it's charter.
Then, the Attorney General believed,
action would be taken simply to re-
new the land grant, but not to exempt
the lands of the International given it
by the state from taxation, and to
place the road on an equality in this
respect with other roads of the state.
This was what he wanted to accom-.
plish, and he believed that his efforts
thus far had been calculated to spur
up the International Company, rather
than to prove barrier to its early
completion to San Antonio.

absolutely free from impurities, fact
which materially dIminishes its practi-
cal value, but enormous bids for it,
made at different times by German
Princes and wealthy mineralogists,
have been invariably rejected by its
proprietor, who has constituted it sn

TEE Galveston Nescs says the pardon
ing power must be taken from the gov
ernor, and, slncethe NeicS must be pam
dered to BY the opponents of Governor
Roberts, it is presumable they will be
found in line attempting to secure a
board Of pardons to take the place OF
the executive in extending mercy. The
plan proposed by the Meas has been
resorted to in few states, and meets
with almost universal condemnation,
since it is both slow in action and I'M
Just in operation. Upon this question
the very conservative, editor of the
Marshall Herald says:
The psrdoning power must be
placed somewhere. Errors will be
committed, no matter where 1t is To-
Gated, but we think it is safer in the
hands of 9 governor than anywhere
else. Il is better in the hands of one
directly amenable to the people than
to an irresponsible body. As we once

much is said about the abuse of the
pardoning power, which is rarely the
case. The truth of it is, there
ought to be more pardoned
or their sentences committed, than
there are. Governors are too
timid-they are afraid of their popu-
larity; and In this respect they are Ia
mentally deficient in their duty. All
the beniguitles of the law, aud foun-
tains of charity are lost and dried up
to crafty a morbid sentiment for cru
city. We have no utilization with or
respect for that class of self-righteous
men who regard it as q virtue to silence
all human sympathy, and desire to see
the law in its letter. in all cases mex
orable carried out.

THE proposed early completion of
the railway between Houston and New
Orleans does not put an end to the ag-
itstion among business men of the lat
ter place in favor of railway direct to
Northern Texas. They rightly hold
that the trade of the great grain grow
ing section of Texas would be of more
advantage even than the Houston con-
nection; that if railroad be built d.
rect to Dallas, crossing the Sabine
river somewhere near the town
of Newton, in Newton county,
intersecting the International and
Great Northern at Palestine, New
Orleans will be at once placed in
direct connection with the great rail-
way system not only of Texas, but of
the Southwest, West and Northwest.
1t would open up trade, too, with q
large section of Western Louisiana and
Eastern Texas, which now has no out
let except by fiatboat and raft on the
Sabine, the Neches and the Angelina
rivers. The fertile valleys of these
rivers are capable of yielding untold
amounts OF cotton and grain and su-
gar, and they would rapidly settle up if
facilities to market were afforded. Be-
side, the counties of East Texas,
through which this road would pass,
contain immense forests of yellow pine,
white oak, hickory and ash, the trans
portation of which, after being manu-
featured into lumber, would yield q
handsome revenue to the road.

THE general conference of the NJ. E.
Church North, in session at Cincinnati,
had under consideration the publish
ing interests of the church IN the South.
The publications and repositories at
Atlanta and New Orleans alone have
been running during the last quarter at
a loss of $4,000, and there was a
discussion as to whether the
two should not be consolidated.
The debate revealed the fact that the
National Repository under DR.. Curry
has lost $50, 900 during the past four
years; the Southern advocates, &c.
600; the Pacific coast AdUocdtss, 49,
600; the st. Louis Advocate, $4,000,
snd the Golden Hours sevarsl
thousand, the grand aggregate of
losses being $91, 900, and the
feeling was in favor of disseminating
all work that does not pay. The be-
nighted people of Austin should know
that this economical resolution does
not apply to missionary business, and,
hence, we may expect to see Psrson
Brush laboring still in the grand un-
dertakiag of snatching beings from evil
influences, and placing them within the
light of the true sanctuary, that shone
first amongst us under the sweet infiu-
ences OF Honey.

HOW THE sHARPERs WORKED

The press has engaged in much
comment upon the bill which passed
the last Legislature regarding the adj
vertisement of property to be sold for
taxes. Before the passage of this law
tax sales were required to be adver-
tised in newspapers. The collector
contracted for such advertising at
prices ranging from ten to fifty cents
for each name. A list of one thousand
names would therefore cost the state
variously from 800 to $500, and the
public had the benefit of being well
informed upon the whole matter of
tax sales. Evidently here was where
the opposition to the old law was
founded. The people were too much
informed, and land shark and
shylock rings conceived q plan,
which was supported by good many
collectors, and opposed by none, to
have the law SO amended as to permit
sales to be conducted more in the in
terest of sharp spectators than for tax
burdened people. All that is now re-
quired Is thai the collector post three
notices in as many different places in the
county that property will be sold for
taxes, and if these are torn down
within twelve hours afterwards, as has
been the case in several instances, the
notification Is complete in the eye of
the law, and the property goes off to
those who run q ring in the interest of
100 DER cent, or of a tract of land worth
hundreds or thosands of dollars for the
bare sum of the tax due. But it was
argued, IN favor of the passage of this
law, that it should be enacted because
of economy. Under the old law we
have shown that in no instance were
the charges on q thousand names. for
insertion in newspaper, over $500,
ranging from this sum down to 800.
For each name, under this plan of post
ing in three places, the collector is al
lowed to collect one dollar, which is
from $500 to 5000 more than was paid
the newspaper. Under the old law the
collector was also allowed one dollar
on each name advertised, and after Civ
ing full information to the public,
he was considerable gamer,
but now the assessment for adj
vertising is as great, while in
information is defeated, and the land
sharks are served, while the sdYertis-
ing costs no collector, probably, over
$50. The law as it stands is profitable,
therefore, only to the land sharks, while
the general purpose of all law Is
pretendingly for the benefit of the
masses. 1t would be an interesting
piece of history to understand what
were the influences that operated in
getting this bill.psssed by the Sixteenth
Legislature. 1t was done with some
stealth and with much persistency, and
there seemed to be an influence from
all points, quietly and successfully
working on Legislators, and the bill TAX
ing advertisement from the newspapers
was passed without settled opposition.
The people lost by it, and another
thrust was given the press in favor
of officers and shylocks.

Baltimore papers claim that Locust
Point, where the emigrants land in that
city, offers greater facilities to the new

vantage of being nearly altogether free
from sharpers and swindlers. With
these advantages, it promises soon to
