Governors Message.

The entire message being too long
for our columns, we give the follow.
ing synopsis from a source friendly
to the Governor, the Houston Post:
The message of Governor Ireland,
which was spread in full on the col
umns of The Post yesterday, will at
tract universal attention, and will be
read eagerly by all who take an inter
est in public affairs. The message is
a model of clearness, point and prac-
teal sense. Without preface or cir
cumlocution the Governor goes at
once into a discussion of the subjects
on which Legislation is demanded, and
wastes neither space nor rhetoric in
giving his views upon the same. As
is natural, the first and most pungent
portion Of the message is devoted to
the fence cutting troubles. The de
plorable state of affairs. in the Gov
ernors opinion. has been brought
about 10y the hstlessness Of the law
abiding citizens, giving a passive in
vitati1n TO the deeds of violence.
which, by immunity, have grown 10
formidable dimensions. The Cover
nor body biames this moral weak
ness, aud shows thatits result. unless
remedied viii tend to anarchy and
rum The recommendations SUBMIT
ted by Governor ireland to cure this
evil are PLAIN and decided Chief
among them msy be mentioned the

The controversy about fences and
fence cutting in Texas has assumed
80 much importance that il is worthy
OF the careful study of Hon. Thomas
Porterhouse OchiltreeL The subject
is Of the deepest interest 10 the State
OF which he is the brightest ornament.
Shall man and mule be gashed by
brutal barbed wire, and no Ochiltree
come to the rescuef On the other
hand, shall fences, the protection Of
peaceful enclosures, and Of tame, vii
latte fowl, DO torn down by the rude
and ruthless hands of rancheros, and
law-loathing cow'boysf
'Thsn Pistol. lay thy head In ruy's lap"
Let Ochiltree tell Texas and man.
kind how and wherefore these things
are. When Agriculture is taken by
the throat, il is the most conspicuous
OF the Committee on Agricul-
ture who should rush TO her defence.
It cannot be that the impulsive Col
onel is on the fence in regard to fence
cutting. Let him speak, or forever
hold his peace.--N. y SIM.

The Governor recommends the es-
tablishment of the Office of Superin.
tendent Of Education and the pass
age of u law providing that the au-
thority TO divide counties into school
districts be lodged in certain hands;
the building OF school houses and
the more rigid examination of teach
ers; the election of local trustees;
specifications of the tax levy, and
that the teachers be required under
penalty TO make their regular reports
to the Board of Education.
The Governor recommends that
persons who have had their lands
purchased by the State, on account of
failure TO pay the taxes thereon, be
allowed TO redeem them, under con-
ditions.
The recommendation is made to
Withdraw portions of the school lands
that are watered from sale for the
time, and some portions of such lands
in perpetuity.
On the subject of taxation the Gov
ernor is of opinion that as the fourth
Of the State income is no longer ap-
piled to the support of the schools,
that 80 cents on the 800 is too high
q general tax, and recommends that
Is cents on 500 be substituted in it's
stead. The Governor does not be-
ieve that school, university and asy-
UNI funds should lie unproductive in
The treasury while the people are tax
ID to support such objects. Z:
As to the investment of the school
und, the Governor states that salts
actory investments have been made
~ the board in county bonds at not
ess than 6 per cent. and that the
,oard deeming itself competent to
ct under the constitution in the pre- :
nises, had proceeded to make the de- ]
ired investments without awaiting
legislative action. The New Orleans !

The Chicago News speaks to the
point on subject of much interest as
follows
The past year has been prolific of
horrible crimes whose perpetrators
have escaped detection, like the MUIR
derers of the Crouch family, or es-
capped punishment like the ruffians
who were acquitted yesterday at the
hands of Montgomery County jury
Tin the Emma Bond case). There
were lot legal executions last year
in the United States, and 1876 lynch
ings That the latter will increase rs
the former decrease is logical con-
sequence, but the reproach and dis
grace of this lawlessness belong to
trifing judges, inefficient or corrupt
states's attorneys, and stnpid juries.
If in the end some of these feel
the horror Of the spirit they have
contributed to exalt it will not be
surprising or to be much lamented.

StOckmen's COnventiOn...GOv.I reland's
Speech.

StOckmen|S COnVentlOH...dOVs lrelanu'l
Speech.
A leading event at the capital just
after the converting of the legisla.
ture was the Stockmen's Convention
1t does not appear, however, that any
very important action WAS taken, be-
yond the appointment of O committee
to remain at Austin to look after the
action of the legislature. Gov. Ire
land being called on made a speech,
the substance of which we copy from
the dispatches to the Galveston News:
Governor Ireland made speech of
exactly the same import and in sim
liar strain to the one he made to the
local stockmen here some two weeks
since. Probably his argument was
more explicit in the effort to show
the impotency of his Office, unless
supported by moral sentiment, to en-
force the laws. He assured the stock
men they must, when asking protec-
ton come with clean hands; that
they must be willing, before asking
legislation, or the action of the gov
eminent in their behalf, first to con.
cede the rights to protection of the
humblest citizen, and protection for
the general interests He thought
the stockmen had not come to bull
doze the legislature as reported in
newspaper, but, as was their right,
they had come together to express
their views and wants. He believed
that the moral sentiment of the coun-
try, would aid in putting down law
lessness and promised to be respon-
sible for such result if the legisla-
ture would adopt his ideas. His de-
nunciation of the fence-cutters was
all the convention could desire in
that direction. He disclaimed hav-
ing advised anyone to take shot-guns
in hand to redress their wrongs, but
would say if you find man setting
fire to your barns or cutting your
fence and you shoot him-''well I
make no pledges" This was vocifer-
ously applauded, the audience taking
on instantaneously the implied prom
Use to pardon the fence-cntter killer.
The governor as in his speech pub
ished in the News, last week called
upon the stockmen to protect each
other; that by standing back they
had encouraged lawlessness by the SUI
pineness of the people and local auth
critics. Stockmcn must not enclose
lands not their own, and must |
promptly purchase and lease the lands |
OF Others they have already enclosed.
He disclaimed advocacy of herd law,
and said his recommendation that the |
users of unenclosed grass should be
made to pay for the use of il, could
not be tortured as had been done in
speeches before the convention to
mean he befriended herd law. He
does not approve of it He did re-
lien on cattle for the use
ofgrass. If you have land. and do
lot wish cattle to Craze upon it you
must fence.

y on the defensive line and well re-
,eived

An Austin dispatch ofthe 10th inst,
to the Galveston News says:
The General came unannounced
here. No one was present to meet
him except United States Marshal
Gosling, who was with him for some
half an hour, the superintendent Of
the railroad holding the train.
In conversation with Mr.. Gosling,
the General expressed his great sat
isfaction in finding Texas so greatly
improved and wonderfully developed
since he was last here, and predicted
for the state o future even beyond
the comprehension of the present
generation. He said his first service
was right here, from 1914 to 1847,
and he had always loved Texas since.
He purposes paying Texas visit
again at an early day, and promised
to give Galveston and Austin visit

AN INFAMOUS TRAFFIC.

The action of the Austrian Vice Consul at
Marseiies in sending back to their homes
eight girls who were being exported for
immoral purposes has led to startling dis
covery at Buda Pesth. 1t has been ascer-
tanned that regular traffic III Hungarian
,aadens has long heen III existence, with
headonarters al Buda Pesth, and has grown
to large proportions. Some OF these un-
fortunates have been decoyed 10 Brazil, as
in Inc. case of those who were Intercepted
at 1Iarseillcs last week hut most of them
have been sent 10 Egypt TO recruit houses
oi i'll fame vt Cairo and Alexandria or to
become slaves in the harcms of Egyptian
heys and pa5has. The Austrian imperial
government gained some knowledge OF this
infamous traffic few months ago and issued
an order prohibiting the expectation OF
women TO Egypt unless each was accom-
panied by some male relative or legal
guardian. Since this order has been en-
forced the agents Of the Egyptian pro-
curers have adopted new tactics. They
now engage their victims TO 90 to America
for domestic service, assuring them that
they will find good homes and situations,
with the chance Of marrying we'll and be-
coming American ladies. Tickets for the
passage to America are shown TO the girls
and small amounts of money are given to
them with which TO purchase outfits. They
leave Buda Pesth in charge of tho agents,
but as soon as they get beyond the Austro-
Hungarian frontier the route Of their jour-
ncy is changed and they are shipped to
Egypt When they once arrive at Alexan-
dr!a there is no further hope Of their escape
aud they are thenceforth iated to a life of
the most debasing servitude. These revela-
tons have caused tremendous sensation
at Buda Pesth, and several men and wom-
