TRIBUTE TO JOHN RANDOLPH
TUCKER

No handsOmer u ibute to friendship
no more beautiful testimonial to integ-
rity could have been conceived than the
appointment of the gifted TUCKER OF
Virginia, ~ guardian of the minor
children of the late PRESIDENT GAR
FIELD. Differing essentially, with Mr..
q NRTiELD In religious convictions, rs
far removed from him In politics, rs Is
the center of the earth from the sun, yet
ho was his beloved and trusted friend.
so beloved, so trusted, that his widow
knows none other with whom she can
coniide the custody of her chill
dron's dearest interests. The Bible
story of JoNATHAN and DAVID has
found It's parallel and the world is
shown an illustration of the truth that
friends may love, differ and conlide.
Mr.. TUCKER, or, rs NIL who know him
we'll say, "RAS TUCIlER," Is born
prince among men. Delightful in COM
partnership, charming In the social cir
Gle, Irresistible i'm debate and pure in
spirit, he has walked through tho maZes
of political life, not only with unspotied
robes, but unsupported of aught that
lowers the standard of a grand man
hood. Sprung from an ancestry of
giant intellectually, he has added TO
its fame and cncompassed himself with
the love and well nigh alteration of all
Nirginia's SONS.

SUBJECTS FOR LEGISLATION.

The people of Texas having testified
| their devotion to the cause of Democracy
in its national aspect are now prepared
| to give undivided attention to the regu-
lation of state affairs, and, by the aid of
carping enemies and judicious friends
to make forward movement in the inn
provement of the laws by which they
are governed, as well as the inoorpora-
ton of other statutes in the .code which
the public good may require. 1t is con-
fessedly true that our Texas laws are
somewhat peculiar, arising partially
from tho long continuance of the land
under Mexican rule and its subsequent
existence AS an Independent Re-
public. Nevertheless, each year
| approximates homogeneity with
other states in Jurisprudence, and,
! indeed, at the present moment, il our
homestead and marital laws are cX-
cepted, the HERALD can discover moth
ing so distincUively varying from the
codes of other states as to prevent our
being claSsed with those whose juris-
prudence has been handed down to
them through different channel. Yet
there are undoubtedly laws upon our
statute books which many object to,
whilst others, although rightly directed,
are incompetent by reason OF indefinite
ness or incompleteness of being eX-
euted. -,
II is to be hoped our Legislators will
| be fully advised by their constituency
as to the laws requiring amendment, as
well rs those Of which public necessity
demands the i'm ediate passage. SO
! far as the HERALD has been advised,
there is Il general desire among mechan
| les and lumbermen to have the lien law
amended. Their objection to it is that
| the machinery is too intricate, and es-
pecialy with reference to work or ma
terial furnished on homesteads. The
| occupation tax is a source of constant
yexation. There are many who think
A defendant in criminal case
should be allowed to testify. Others
| think a man should be al
lowed to mortgage his homestead. The
seoIestration law, under which a man
is compelled to swear that he believes
the subect-matter OF controversy is La
bic to he wasted before ne can sue Out
his writ is objected to by many. The
want of a general insolvent law is felt
! by The business men III the absence OF
bankrupt law. The, criminal code has
many features which might bo inn
proved, and there is very large and
increasing class who consider the grand
Jury an institution Of the past aud cap
able of being made the instrument of
oppression. These are but few OF the
many hints our members-elect must
consider, and to the consideration OF
which the HERALD invites their atten

asa prospective member of President

cent. lie WAS strictly npn-committal on
the subject. Referring To the scramb G
for Office, the senator said he had already
been the recipient of hundreds of letters
from aspirants asking his aid and iniiu-
ence in securing for them government
rCsitions. Some of them were very
amusing, and the applicants were 10y. no
means backward in asking Tor high
places of trust, and spared neither
paper, pen, ink, postage or cheek in adj
vocating their claims. one fellow in
southwest Texas wrote him that lie had
always stuck like tick to the party,and
that he felt assured and had reason to
feel that he would be rewarded. The
only thing that bothered him
was that he could not make
up his mind what place he preferred
and closed by saying he would leave it
to him, Mills and Reagan to determine.
Another party had Travelled quite a dis
lance on mule and interviewed him in
person. This one wanted 10 be minister

don't" was the REPLY, "but | could hire

The senator was in splendid spirits
and good health and fun of hope and
confidence in the administration of

OFFICIAL AND TRUSTEES SALE

OFFICIAL AND TRUSTEES SALE
Among the questions for consideIa-
ton by the next legislature the HERALD
would suggest the propriety OF revis-
ion of the law pertaining to the adver-
tisement of property to be sold, either
by the officers OF the law under execu-
ton or by trustees in their judiciary ca
pacity. This law was proposed to be
amended by the last legislature, but the
bin was unfortunately drafted and did
not receive the support it would other
wise have commanded.
Under the present system, when land
is to be sold for the purposes above
named, il is only necessary to stick up
the notice OF sale in three public places
one to be at the courthouse door. 1t
does not specify which door, ana the
plan generally adopted is to put them
on Il bulletin board, which is so plastered
over with such instruments that but Few
ever read them. The other two pubhc
places may be old trees at cross roads,
The door-iamb OF Il grocery or.any other
place which the official may consider
public.
Bv this method an absence OF bidders
is secured and property very often sac
rjiiced. This is especially hurtful in
state where there isno appraisement be-

should bring certain fraction
