Qnr Trim 10 Houston.

We desired to 60 vim the Interna

would have to lie over at Palestine,
two whole days, and travel by night
oil the way, we concluded to go to
San Antonio and thence take the
Sunset road, utilizing in part o ticket
we had paid for some two or three
years ago and never used. Our only
previous trip to San Antonio was
made in the fall of rs; Of course
since the advent of two railroads we
noticed some considerable changes.
The new depot buildings of the In.
ternational arc conspicuous among
tho improvements.
We found the "Sunset" m admira-
bly, equipped and very smooth run,

panorama of mesquit prairies, inter-
spersed with growing grain fields,
rapidly passed by. Marion, Seguin,
Kingsbury, were called out, but
revealed nothing specially attractive.
The San Marcos river was crossed

fine country, some Of it almost equal
to Hays county. Crossing the Col

level prairies, similar to central
Illinois, lying almost in "a state of
nature, and where the wild deer yet
sports at large. Still we descend till
Richmond (not on the James butt on

Says the Austin Review: The
proposed line of the Austin and North
western railroad as set out in their
articles of association is as follows:
The road shall be constructed from
Austin to Abilene in the county of
Taylor, passing through the counties
of Williamson, Burnet, Lampasas,
Mccullough, San Saba, Coleman, Run
nels and Taylor. A branch road is
provided, which is to begin at or
near the town of Burnett and extend
through the counties of Llano, Mason,
Menard, and Tom Green to Concho,
there to connect with the Southern
Pacific. The stock has been placed
at 10000 shares of 800 each, and
subscription books will be open as
soon as possible. The headquarters
and presidents office are to be at
Austin, at the banking house Of Eos
ter & Co. The charter has been filed
with the Secretary of State, and q
corps of engineers spoken for.

WASHINGTON, ID. T., May IL. 1881.
Yesterday was the second day Of n
Republican Senatorial caucus and the
Senator's resolved themselves into n
committee OF tho whole to work for
peace in tho party, They might as
well try to stop the food Of the Mis-
sissippi as to stop the war-fever in the
party. Robertson may DO confirmed,
rejected or withdrawn, but whatever
is done with him will only add to tho
anger which has governed tho Presi-
dent, Senator Conkiug md other
leaders, for the past few weeka Sup
pose Conkling is beaten and Robert
son confirmed, % may DO the case SEN
ator Conkling and such Senators ~
vote with him, including tho most in
llucntial Of them all, will simply have
a new reason for opposing tho nd
ministration, and will feel nnd OK
press contempt, for those Senators,
who having set out with them, have
turned back because OF q threatened
withdrawal OF patronage. Suppose
the senate succeed in getting the
nomination Of Robertson withdrawn.
Will Garfield love the men who thus
humiliate himi Senator Conkling
can afford to be beaten in this Rob
ertson matter. He is senator for five
years more and can take his revenge
in ono two or three, when, executive
patronage being less. senators will be
more independent. .r..-
The war is not for day, but will
cease only with the administration,
If then. Caucuses may put off &C
tual battle for time, but the prepa-
rations are going on, and the actual
conflict will be all the more fierce

Meeting Of the Texas Editors.

mcctHS VI tHc AcAoS Au"V'"s
To the synopsis Of the proceedings
Of this body which appears elsewhere,
we wish to append few remarks
The meeting, as q matter Of business,
was not very satisfactory. Very lit
tie was done beyond effecting n mere
organization. Nothing was said or
done on the interesting question OF
changing tho unfriendly Legislation
Of the state toward her newspapers
nor as to that other important ques-
ton, the establishment OF a paper
mill within our borders. We trust
that hereafter the Association will
keep an eye single to business first ;
then indulge in recreation al tib'tam.
One other point. There were at
the late meeting in Houston, not less
than dozen parties participating
who had no right to do so under the
constitution, The rule Of admission
to membership was declared to DO n
proprietary interest in newspapers or
editorial control of their columns. We
trust this rule will hereafter be strict
ly enforced. It is grossly unjust,
alike to tho editorial fraternity
and to the hospitality Of our enter
tainers, that set Of mere prctenders
should be allowed to foist themselves
upon the Association.

Commissioner Bentley.


The subject Of this paragraph has
been the target at which the Pensio,
Sharks, hanging about the Capital.
have fired their anathemas and bill
lingsgate for the past two years
with about as much annoyance to
him as Ben Butler's ay annoyed that
peregrinating statesman. Aud oos
cssionally from within the walls oI
the nations capitol caadaing,
whose voice is huskey from too
much Of The "Bonny Blue flag.
whose hands are discolored OF the
late unpleasantuess, aud, who car
ries about him considerable Of the
odor OF that thing which Andrew
johnson said ''ought to be made
odious, is heard clamoring against
one OF the most industrious, most
untiring, energetic. faithful and ef-
fcient officials at Washington,
Bentley is at the head Of the most
intricate, complicated, voluminous
department Of the Govern ment and
he has cbarsed its onerous duties
with remarkable efficiency, alacrit y
and fidelity.
Anathema and billings gate prove
nothing. II be has been guilty Of
official misconduct there are no diff.
fculties in tho way OF fair and im.
partial investigation. But this is
not pretended. The cause of all
this clsmor about Bentley comes
from the sharks whom he will not
permit to rob the men who sacrificed
home-comforts-left their wives and
children--and offered their lives u u.
on the altar OF their couatry.
We do not know Commissioner
Bentley, personally, but for two
years past almost every daily mail
has brought to our table the filthy
trash Of the sharks, aud we turued
our attention to fair inquiry into his
official management from the means
ct our command, aud by correspond
ence with fair-minded representa-
tives, thus enabling US TO form and
express q right judgment in the
premises and our judgment, thus
fortified, free from bias is, that
Bentley is efficient and honest, and
that it would be suicidal policy not
to retain him il he will consent TO
remain in the position he now occu-
pies.
