Judge Stayton, delivered May 80Nl, 1882
Tho action Of the appellant nh,. being
barred by the statute Of limitation ~ the
time the ordinance Of the constitutional
convention In 1866 declared that the tine
which interviewed between the "a of Mardi,
1861, and the I'd OF September, 1868, should
not be computed was valid and not retroaf-
tive In character. Prior 10 the time of tie
adoption of the constitution OF 1870, the
full period of five years during which there
was no suspension Of the running
of the statute Of limitation
by any law of this state, had expired; and
title 10 the property in controversy had
thereby MS fully vested in the appellee as
though acquired by the most solemn con-
ton.
Title so having vested in the appellee,
there was no power in the constitutional
convention VIII oh met in 1862 nor in the
people to divest such title by an arbitrary
exercise of legislative power, and section
43, article u Of the constitution. Of 1870, if
made to apply to causes of action then
barred, is but an attempted exercise of such
power.
The 9TH amendment to the constitution
of the United States, which provided that
no person shall be deprived of life, liberty
or property without due process of law, has
been held to impose limitation upon the
power of the federal government, but to
impose no limitation upon the power of the

any person can be deprived of property by
a simple declaration that the law under
which title to the property vested
shall be deprived Of the effect which it had
at the time of investiture of title. 1t was
intended by the 18th amendment to place
the same protection against retroactive leg
islation around property which is thrown
around personal liberty by that pro-
vision of the constitution of the
United States which declares mo state shall
passany ex post facto law" No other
law than that of the state in which it is
situated can control the conveyance or vesti-
ture of title to real estate, and the acts of
congress known as the reconstruction
acts, cannot make that true by
declaring it to be so, which was not true in
fact for we knowjudcially and historically
that the courts of Texas we're open in the
years 1866 and 1867, and that any citizen
for a wrong done to his property could have
redress by due course Of law, and the con-

ton, which convenes in annual session at

following letter from one of the boys OF that
9ace yesterday:
FRIEND CoNNoR:-1 am pleased to inform
you that all the usual arrangements have
been made by the Brennan Fire depart
ment to make the visit of the delegates to
the State Firemens' association pleasant.
There will be social entertainments on the
nights OF the l4th, 10Th and 10th of June,
so that no night sessions of the association
for business can be held, and | think you
will agree with me that this is proper, and
that all business can be disposed Of at the
the day sessions. DIR. Chaplin whom you
saw in Dallas at the meeting of the Grand
Commandery has been selected to open the
meeting with prayer and Major b. ii. Bas-
sett has been selected TO deliver the adj
dress of welcome.
The entertainment for Wednesday night
will be a "broom drill" by the ladies
at the opera-house. For Thursday night
grand ball and promenade, at Germania
park. For Friday night, grand banquet at
Armory hall. The opera-house has been
secured for the meetings of the associations;
Il is handsome and pleasant place.
! hope TO see a large attendance OF dele
gates and that everything will be conducted
in manner becoming true firemen and
gentlemen, and believe that l will not be
disappointed. Yours truly,

United states IRISH Commission.

The United States fish commission car,
in charge Of G. II. II. Moore, arrived here
at p. m. yesterday, from Washington, en-
route TO Fort Worth, Texas, with half a
million shad fry to be deposited in the
Trinity river at the latter place. The rea:
son Of their deposit at the point designated
is because IL has been found that the nearer
the head waters are reached the better the
prospect of their return, therefore the peo-
pie OF Dallas should not be jealous, for the
fish were planted as much Tor their benefit
as for that Of their sister CITY. Thanks are
due 10 the Hon. Olin Wellborn for his
persistent efforts TO secure the fish.

THE MERCHANTS GRAIN AND PRO
DUCE EXCHANGE,


BY reference to our local columns this
morning it will be seen that the Merchants
! Grain and Produce Exchange was opened
and the enterprise inaugurated on yester-
day. 1t is an institution that found its
origin in the growing needs of this city, as
the great central grain market OF this stale,
lust as did the Board of Trade, the Cotton
Exchange. ETC., etc., 1t floweredin to exist
ence from the kernel of expediency. At
all places that have attained ~ the COM
mercial prominence of Dallas these instru-
mentalities are.a necessity and come as in
eyitably as the root and the trunk bursting
from the seed when the season has arrived.
The objects and the methods and the oper-
atoms of such an organization
are quite familiar to the mer-
cantiie mind in all our chief
cities and their unquestioned adyan-
tages are as universally known and acted
on in uniformity Of manner. The setting
into operation of this exchange which the
HERALD has pcrsistently urged, will make
known all over the country our vast re-
sources in the matter Of grain products
more directly and emphatically and fully
than perhaps any other agency. Here
seller and buyer. producer, consumer ana
speculAtor may meet, and with the con-
slant. regular and reliable adyices from all
the centres, Chicago, st. Louis, New YORK,
New Orleans. Kansas City and the rest, VIII
know best how intelligently 70 act IN their
particular interests. Those centres, too,
will hold daily correspondence
through the mails and over the wires
as 10 what transactions can be and have
been made in the great staples. This will de-
velop new industries when these cereals are
brought here for disposal from hundreds oil
miles Of surrounding country. A new inn
