POLITICAL.

The Houston Aee says oil
Garfield: "He has with few il
any exceptions voted bis party
on all party measures, but has
been regarded as mild manner
ed, courteous, and gentlemanly.
He was recently elected by the
legislature ofhis state to sue
coed Mr.. Thurman in the Uni
ted States senate; a position
which he will, we presume re-
sign Immediately upon accept
ing the candidacy Of his party
for the presidency, and when he
has been defeated by the pres
idential nominee of the den1oc-
racy, and then thinks OF the lost
senatorship, he will realize the
old adage, that a bird in the
hand ought never to be let go
for the chances of two in the

THE country may therefore,

Grant for a. third term, which in
the event Of his election, might
have eventuated in a .term for

would have been an easier man

Question.
HOME, JuNE 4th 1880.

At JSNS 49,
Editors BASNEE.
| suppose that the people of
Washington county know that
they have four leagues of coun-
ty free school land situated on
both sides of the South Concho,
a tributary of the Colorado in
Tom Green county.
This land is now leased to
Mr.. Metcalfe for $3.50 per an
mum for a sheep rancho. The
object of this communication is
TO hear from the county press
and the people as to what should
be done in the premises.
Art 1896. Revised statutes
says: Each county may sell
or dispose Of the lands granted
to it for educational purposes,
in such manner as may be pro-
vided by the commissioners
court of such county: and the
proceeds of any such sale shall
be invested in bonds ofthe state
Of Texas, or, of the United
States, and held by such coun-
ty alone as trust for the bene-
fit of public free schools therein.
Only the interest thereon to be
used and expended annually.
There have been three applica-
tons, in the last twelve months
to purchase SIN all part of this
land, two for 100 acres each,
and the last by the lessee, Mr..
Metcalfe, to purchase 200 acres
in addition to 100 acres which
he claims, at a valuation, under
the law san actual settler -
Now editors a

private enterprise bring the
school lands into market, what
say youa l will state here that
the court has tried to learn some
thing of the intrinsic value Of
these lands but without success.
The annual interest on a very
small sum invested i'll such |
bonds would add so little to
the free school interest as not |
to justify the expense and
trouble involved. Art. 4o3z
protects actual settlers in the |
prior right of purchase to the
extent of their settlement not
to exceed 100 acres at a valua-
tion fixed by the commissioners
court without regard to I'M
provements made by settlers,
but does not compel the court
to fix the value at any particu-
lar time or on compliance with
any conditions on the part of
settlers.

a. psIIsqass. Tax sslss

Waco Telephone,
From quite number Of coun.
ties come complaints Of the
workings of the new system Of
selling lands for delinquent tax
es. The Sixteenth Legislature
passed. law which provides
that the collector Of taxes may
write out three notices contain
ing the delinquent list and post
said notices up at different
places in the county one ofsaid
places being the courthouse.
In several counties the notices,
as soon as posted, have been
torn down, presumably by per
sons interested in suppressing
any general knowledge OF the
sale. These are the landsharks
-or-their agents, who are about
the only persons on hand when
the sale takes place. In many
counties the masses of the peo-
pie have no idea at all when the
saieswill take place. The Leg
.islature abolished the newspa-
per advertising Of such sales os-
.tensibly on the grounds of
ECONOMY, bnt at the same
time made the new system FIVE
times as expenswe as the one
abolished. The State pays the
collector one dollar for every
name he writes on one OF these
delinquent lists. Heretofore
newspapers published them at
rates ranging from ten to twenty
cents per name, and published
the list for three weeks. The
law seems to have been framed
for the especial benefit of tax
collectors and land sharks, and
to impose new burdens upon
the people. Under its opera
tons the expense OF collecting
81 900 amount to another thou
sand. This is a fair sample Of
the wisdom and economy ofthe
Sixteenth Legislature. The
people should thank heaven it
can never meet again unless it
iniextra session.
