COMPETING PLANS FOR HE NEW
- CAPITOL.

As heretofore stated, the work of
competition in plans for the new
Texas capitol, is fairly under way.
There are thirteen plans presented
several of them having many points
torecommend them, and out of these
the plan for capitol, commensurate
with requirements, can certainly
be selected. There was n COM
mission appointed, whose duty, it
was understood, was to look into the
merits of plans presented and then
to decide; but the Governor, always
cautious and looking well to the
public interest, desired to make no
mistake, and he has asked the, legis-
lature to give him power to employ
an architect, or architects, of such
character as to give him perfect con-
fidence in the decision. This desire,
it is said, is indulgcd by the entire
board on public buildings
and by the Capitol Com
missioners, and they all concur
with the Governor in his laud-
able care. The foretbought which
,characterizes the suggestion of this
step, will further commend itself in
the selection of competent and pro-
per. persons, now contemplated by
the resolution, which was so quickly
adopted by the legislature on exec
-utive suggestion. 1t was intended
that the commission appointed to
select a plan, and to carry on the
building, should be composed of q
provisional or advisory, and finally,
OF an executive branch, This COM
mission will now be fully made
up, so-soon as the Governor has
made-his--seleetion of the adyi-
sorry member or members, con
templated by this final resolution.
There is an-unusual display and va
riety in the designs or plans submit
ted for the building. The best styles
or forms of architecture are shown
by the drawings, both in the disposi-
ton of the general floor plans and
IN the decoration of the facades in
instances sufficiently meritorious to
secure capitol contemplated by law
of which Texas may be proud. The

vestige of hate, arising from war,

shall be made stronger than ever,
when South and North vie in its
love and defense, these Northern
people will revere these dead as
| they do their own. Since cause
failed, is it ignoble? Had the South
succeeded, the nations of the earth
would have respected its existance,
and a proud government. as the
federal government has done for
Union soldiers. would have
pensioned every living Con-
federate soldier, and every
widow of a Confederate. Because
the South did not succeed, and be-
cause her sons obeyed when Texas
called to arms, and since Texas is
IMPLY able to supply these limbs, is
it not right that she should relieve
to this extent at least the manned
who obeyed her? The men
who came out of the war with whole
bodies, and more especially those
who have stepped upon the scene
since those awful days that filed the
old homes with mourning, should
do this little act of relief. 1t is said
to be sweet to die for one's country,
but the Confederate died for lost
cause.-the sovereignty of states
and this little provision, now pro-
posed for a few men. would be but
q tribute to the honesty of the peo-
pie who advocated that cause. If
they were not honest then, they de-
served more by far than was ever
heaped upon them by the con-
queror. Ifthey were not honest they
deserve not even political associa-
tlons In the form of states, and Texas
should be unknown upon the map
of the Union. But it is all over
long ago. These Southern people
regret the terrible period that is fast
receding Into the past as a dream,
and they would not dare repeat their
act: They would now defend the
Union as they. then defended the
South and Texas; they would see
the graves of both confederates and
federals strewn with flowers, and
the green grass growing upon them,
indicative of a new life and a
new period, and of pesce and love;
and we, especially, would see Texas,

supplying manned Confederate SOL
diers with artificial limbs. To the
merits of the bill their was but lit
tie opposition, but many opposed it
on the ground, of unconstitntionality,
while there were learned lawyers
favoring it, who are certainly wise
enough to judge whether the prop
osition is in the nature of a. consti-
tutional infringement. We hope
it is not, and desire that
the bill may become "a law. The
act of secession on the partof Texas
placed these MANNED soldiers in q
position of dependence upon the

THE Post in considering the

country reeks with the blood of
men and women butohered by in:

only calls from the ground for ven
geance, but it lies as terrible threat
in continuance Of a reign ofterror
and outlawry. The peoples lives
are endangered, and they will con.
tinue TO be SO, as long as the plea
of emotional aud drunken insanity
are permitted to excuse the murder
er. The fact engages the attention
of the people. They desire to be rid
of it; of its danger, of its crilninali-
ty, and of its disgrace. When law
yers, then, quibble over the necessi--
ty of previous intent and present
malice 10 constitute the crime of
murder, the people become oimpa-
tient, for they know full well that
this Is a practical playing into the
hands of the quick hater, or the
cowardly malice-bearer, who, under
cover of such legal rulings, deliber-
-ately drinks himself into so-called
insanity, and with this cloak thrown
over his sin, murders his victim.
The people wish stop to be put1to

HOW TO sURRENDER CITY CHAR
TIERS r

Col. -Finlay's bill, specifying how
city charters may be surrendered, and
how counties may be made success
sors to all the rights and privileges
[nainly debt paying) Of cities that
give up their corporate rights, has
been reported favorably from the
committee on towns and cities of
the House. The bill provides that
whenever one-tenth of the qualified
voters Of any incorporated city or
town Of tho state shall make writ
ten application to the mayor for
such purpose, he shall call an cleo
ton, to decide whether such city or
town shall give up its incorporation.
Should q mayor refuset to order
an election, then the county Judge
shall act in the premises with all au-
thority delegated to mayor. The
charter shall thus be dissolved and
surrendered, but If not,no other eles
tion may be ordered for the same pur.
pose in less than three years. Upon
surrender Of CHARTER the county
commissioners shall succeed to the
administration of the affairs ofthe de.
funct corporation, and they shall in
this capacity become entitled to all
the assets of such defunct corpora
ton, and they shall proceed to liqui--
date its affairs, and to pay debts in
CURED by it, and to levy and collect
taxes for this purpose upon prop
erty situated within the limits
of what was the living corpora
tion. The bill empowers the com
missioners' courts to Issue 8 per
cent. bonds, not exceeding thirty
years TO run, to pay corporate
debts, the revenue for their pat-
.ment to be raised as above specified.
No property, situated without the
limits of the defunct corporation
shall be required to pay any tax to-
wards such purposes. The commits
sioner's court succeeds to all the
rights. OF city council, and the
same duties ofmaintaining the com
munity, that was a corporation
devolve upon it, as once belonged
to the council. In other words,
the city remains in tact, except
that it relieves itself of the tex-
pense of purely city government,
the governing right descen ing
from the mayor and board of 'coun-
cilmen to the county judge and the
commissioners court. There is no
reason why this bill should not be-
cones law. City governments are
often most expensive things, as has
been the case in Houston, and prob
ably in Galveston; in the latter case,
mainly from the fact that the city of
Galveston. is virtually Calves on
county, and the machinery of dual
government is useless and too ex-
pensive. 80
