THE sTOCKMENs CONVENTION.
Strength of the Two Parties in the
Texas Legislature.


Texas Legislature.
GALVESTON. Jan. 1O.-An Austin dis
patch says: "In the Texas Stockmen's
Convention yesterday a resolution peti-
tiOning the Legislature not to pass the
herd law occasi0ned lengthy discussion.
The resolution was finally tabled by a
vote of siXty-three to forty-eight. Hon.
Joseph Sayers, anti-free grass President
of the convention, was much appIauded
during his address counseling the
stockmen that in attempting to
secure protection for their own
property they must remember first to be
just to the people at large. A resolution
was adopted requesting the Legislature
to pass severe measures to correct the
grievances which the public suffers at the
hands of pasture owners; also, a law
making fence cutting a felony. The con-
yentiOn on test vote stood: Free grass, y:
property rights, 101. 1t has been ascer-
tanned that the Legislature on Joint ballot
will probably vote 80 for free grass and
106 for property right.
An Austin dispatch says: EsGOv. Ire
land, by invitation, addressed the Texas
StOckmen's Convention this afternoon. He
disclaimed having advised the pasturemen
to take shOtguns in their bands to redress
their wrongs, but would say, ''if you find
man setting fire to your barns or cut
ting your fences, and you shoot him
well, L make no pledges.V This was
vociferously applauded, being takens as
an implied promise that the Governor
would pardon the fence-cutter killers.

A Connecticut Divorce no Bar to the
Action.
NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-The suit of Lucy
A. Brinkeroff against Cornelia p. Swan
and others, to assert her right of dover in
certain uptown property, was concluded
to-day in the Superior Court. The plain
tiff was married to Richard S. Brinkeroff
in 1865, and after his death in 1873, she
learned for the first time that ten wears
previously he had procured divorce from
her in Connecticut. She alleged that she
was not served with any papers in the
case and that the alleged divorce
was void. After getting the divorce
BrinkerhOff conveyed his property to his
two daughters by his first wife, and the
defendants, of whom there are about
twenty, take title from these daughters.
The defense set up that the divorce was
legally secured, and that at the time
Brinkerhotf obtained it he had been a
resident of Connecticut. The court di-
rected a verdict in favor of Mrs. Brinker-
hotf, holding that this action could not be
barred by the Connecticut divorce.

The Railroad Commission was not born Of
the people Of Georgia. On the 18th of july
1871, III the Constitutional Convention in this
city, Judge ID. Il. Harrell presented the
Memorial of the Board of Trade of Ameri-
Gus on Railroad Tariffs and Oppression" and
the late DIR. Cooper, of that city. was Its earn
est and eloquent advocate on the floor of the
convention. Out Of this movement, and the
later action of the distinguished member OF
the General Assembly from Sumter county,
grew the Railroad Commission. l heard every
word of the debate in the convention and the
General Assembly. and know that the whole
matter was Of local origin, and that the COM
mission has not met the purpose for which il
was originally designed. Ii is no fault of the
Commissioners. but the result of a defective
law.
The commission should stand between the
people and the railroads to arbitrate all diff
fCrences, not to regulate the business Of the
roads. One of the abest men in the State and
warm friend of the commission. assures me
that President RaOul, of the Central Railroad,
is more than match for the cOmmissiori and
its most vigorous defenders. His facts, figures
and arguments are the result of a thorough
study of the whole railroad problem, and no
man in Georgia knows better how to put this
knowledge on paper. CHATHAM.

Ter, arising from payment of salary to the
Surgeon General of State during the past

Ter, under date of December %, expressed
surprise that the Auditor should have
allowed this payment, as he must
have known that the Surgeon
General was appointed without
pay. The Auditor replied that the statute
provides a salary for the Surgeon General,
and that the Governor himself signed for
the past eleven months warrants for the
payment Of the Surgeon General, and if
these were not justified. the Governor
could easily have discovered the fact. In
auditing the account the Auditor has but
fulfilled his legal duties. Governor Butler
