AUSTIN, February II, 1881.
| enclose herewith communication in
yesterdays Statesman, signed "North Texas"
AS believe, from most al expressions heard
yesterday in regard to il, that the views
therein are representative outside those per-
sons in the interest Of Galveston, therefore
send ii for reproduction in our section to
sound the sentiment among US. In my iudg-
ment and sentiment this, tho capt. J is the
place for il, but wherever the peope shall
decide it shall be, let it at leat be all
together. The article says
"The university bill which the senate has
passed, and which WINS yesterday presented
to the house for concurrence, deserves the
careful consideration Of the committee which
will have to report on 1t, as we'll as from our
representatives, because of the Stubs

the institution may bo located nj Galveston.

not Dallas, for instance, have another portion

south Texas and west Texas and central
Texas are 10 have respectively section, the
one the medical and the other the agricultu-
raj, tho other the carcass remnant, then why
not further subdivide md give to north
Texas tho legal department and to east
Texas the theological Let's have fair
divide or mono Arguments can DO ad-
vanced just as strong, quite as
spacious for the claims of each, rs those
Galveston has seen proper to present in her
interest. We regretted to SEQ the amend
ment pass the senate, because this magnifl-
cent institution ought TO be located in one
place, and thus, in its entirety and integrity,
be made pride 10 the great state which so
literally endows it, and not be dsmemborcd
ahd split up into insignificant aegments.
And, in our judgment, the capital
Is the place. a place at all
times healthful for professors and
students, FREQ from epidemics, storms, etc,
accessible By rail, central in its locality,
wonderfully beautiful and picturesque in its
unsurpassed surroundings, and especially nd
yantageous by reason of its being the seat of
