THE GALVESTON DRILL.
RESOLUTIONS OF THE AUSTIN
GREYS.

RESOLUTIONS OF THE AUSTIN
GREYS.
Whereas, The citizens of Galveston
have arranged for grand competitive
drill and encampment to be held in the
city of Galveston during the month of
August; and
Whereas, The citizens of Galveston have
placed the management of said drill and
encampment in the hands of a committee
and said committee have ignored and
passed over the field and general officers
of the Texas state militia, and asked an
officer of the United States army to
command said encampment; and
Whereas, The placing of an officer OF
the United States army over state troops
is calculated to work harm and injury to
the discipline now being established
among the state troops, by reason of re-
curing their obedience to an officer to
whom they are bound by no military OBJ
legation; whose teachings and manner of
dealing with troops is such as has always
been repugnant to state yeomanry; there
fore, be it
Resolved, That this company, in view
of the above facts set FORTH do not attend
the encampment to be held at Galveston
August, 1856.

FOR COMPTROLLER.

Mr.. John d. Mccall is by far the most
heard of man in the race for the comp
trollership. Instructions have been given
for him in very many counties of the
list. The people everywhere appreciate
good, thorough, efficient and conscientious
work. This service Mr.. Mccall has ever
faithfully given to the state. In the
comptroller's Office for number of years,
and under changing administrations, he
has risen from the ranks, and now holds
position only second to the comptroller.
Let the rules regulating business and pro-
fessional life, where the best qualified and
safest man gains the place, and Mr.. Nc
Call would be elected to the position of
comptroller by reclamation. That the
people appreciate Mr.. McCall's ability and
efficient service is being atteste1 daily, as
the returns come in from the several
counties, and all indications project his
election on the first ballot at the state
convention. A man more fitted for the
place, better knowing its duties and re-
quirements, and more authoritatiyely
promising complete submission of him
self to every detailed duty required, and
more safely 20 be relied upon for integ-
rity and honor, cannot be found than John
d. Mccall. Let the people remember
this, and serve their best interests by vo-
ting for this man, tried and found to an
swer every requirement.

gotten by the war should be only memo
ries of the past, and that common
interest and benefit to each should, bar
ring any matter of sentiment, bind these
two nations together. Mexico has vast
riches and varied products that should
rather be tributary to us, her nearest
neighbor, than to countries across the
sea. The wonder is, hating policy has
been so long allowed to cut off this posi-
BILE state and national income.

ANOTHER FLOP.

The Galveston News at last shows its
hand-it comes out boldly advocating a
"dark horse" for governor, and also sug-
costing Giddings as that dark horse"
Possibly The STATESMAN is wrong, but
Giddings, in this section of the country, is
not regarded as "dark horse" as he has
appeared before the people and boldly
announced himself as a candidate, express
Sing his views upon the topics of the day
and the state policies But it does seem
that the whole theory of clark horses" is
ruinous in the extreme. 1t is the funda-
mental principle, the keystone of the
union, that ours is government "of and
by the people" This can only mean that
the people, by their votes, shall say what
principles shall rule them, and what men
shall execute these principles. How
can this be done upon the
News theory of clark horsesY"
What does the theory mean but simply
this: Delegates Eduly appointed by the
people and sent to the state convention to
emphasize their views, shall, when the
convention assemblies, fling off all respon-
sibility to the people they represent
whose mouthpiecs they are, forget all
the execution of the mission upon which
they we're sent, and simply vote at will
raise themselves above the people, and
defeat the peoples wishes. This is a
position most monstrous. The News can
not possibly mean this.
Rather in charity to the News let this
construction be put upon its editorial
The News, in its weekly flop, has lighted
upon Giddings. In him, this week, they
see charms unrivalled by any in the state
in the state they deem fit fol-
the governors mansion. And in theil
zeal and wild, weekly enthusiasm, the!
doom the "Big Four"-Swain, Ross, Brack
enridge and Martin-to the shadow cas-
by the "dark horses" then, from beneath
this shadow, they evoke the great and onl,
Giddings.
1t will not do; the scheme is fshy. Tn,
next week is anxiously awaited, to witnes
the News, flop back again into line will

WHO SHOULD COMMAND.

As will be seen by the resolutions of the
Austin Grays, published elsewhere, that
company has decided not to attend the
interstate drill at Galveston. The reason
of their action is the selection by the com
mittee having the drill in charge of q
United States army officer to command
the encampment, and The STATESMAN Is
disposed to agree with the position taken
by the Grays. There is no good reason
why the committee should have
ignored the officers of the state
militia, as there are number
of them who are competent in every way
to command the encampment, and as
matter of right and justice, one of them
should have been selected for that pur-
pose.
If it is proposed to encourage and
maintain state volunteer service, it is
nothing more than proper that the officers
of this service should be recognized on
such occasions, and it would seem that
the Galveston committee ought to
have realized this fact, in this and other
states, where drills or encampments of
this character have been held, it has been
the custom to have officers of the state
militia in command.
1t is possible that the action of the
Galveston committee may interfere with
the attendance of the state troops at the
drill, as the other companies are likely to
take the same view of the question as that
taken by the Austin Grays.

a fact that experience has satisfactorily demon

unlike Unexpectedly safe. With many
persons a certain predisposition to rheumatism
exists, which renders them liable to its attacks
after exposure in wet weather, to currents OF

A New Theory.

L. D. Bulls, Cascadia, Upper Vel
lowstone, has a theory regarding the
causes of sickness and death among
his and other horse herds in that To-
cality which seems we'll worth consid-
Grafton. He is something of a farrier
and has lived and bred horses in that
locality a long while. His theory is
this: That the smut which forms on
the gramma, rye and other heading
grasses is q poison that causes the
sickness. In support of his theory he
says he has noticed that horses are
not affected with this sickness until
after the range grasses have formed
heads and begin to smut and after
the high winds in the fall have
arisen and the smut is blown away the
herds begin to get in better condition
and such as have been sick recover.
He thinks the poison affects the spine,
muscles and blood of the animal caus-
ing the stiffness of the limbs, difficulty
OF breathing, weakness and other
symptoms that mark the affection.
Mr. Bulls prescribed as a remedy
which ne had used with success One
pint OF linseed oil, two ounces oflaud-
anum and one tablespoonful of spir-
it's of nitre-the prescription to be in
creased ordiminished proportionately
in accordance with the size Of the an

The Dutch at Home.

There is a singular calm ~reigning in
the streets oil Rotterdam, says a writer
in the Cornhill Magazine. Thetaces of
the passersby are stolid; there is no
chattering,n no gesticulating. The pop
ulation is imperturbably good. /
was constantly struck by this feature
of the Dutch wherever / went; they are
prepernaturally tranquil. AT Rotter-
dam it may be argued, the people are
preoccupied with business and have
no time to be gay and noisy. But at
their holiday resorts they are equally
quiet. One Sunday afternoon went
down to ~Scheveningen, thefamous sea-
side resort near The Hague, and was
utterly astounded at the bearing OF
the crowd of holiday seekers. Icould
hardly help thinking that the whole
thing must be a toy, and that the
people were playing at beinggood. The
hotels on the top of the sand dunes,
the neat, brick-paved, winding foot
path that runs the whole length ofthe
upper part of the beach; the villas, the
casino, the village, the church, with
it's clock dial painted red and blue,
with the hours picked out in white:the
little canvas bathing machines, brill.
liant with new paint;the little tents on
the beach, the fishing boats 9 Iseeasea
to accord with this idea, they we're SO
neat and proper. When we ar we'd all
the people were our on the beach; the
Sunday holiday makers, too, had ar
rived, and yet the tranquility, the
stiffness, the absence of the sounds OF
gayety, or, indeed, of any human
sounds, were SO marked that it made
one feel quite uneasy. You metgroups
walking quietly; here and there were
groups sitting quietly and talking
quietly, and quiet smiles pervaded st
are intervals their physiognomies. ]
presume these people were enjoying
themselves in their own quiet way.
But now unlike a Latin crowd at the
seaside! At S~cheveningeG / saw no
more style, no more elegance, no o
coquetry than at Rotterdam. Very
few OF the Dutch women wore then
quaint native head-dress, and these
few had surmounted it by horrible
Partisan bonnets. As for their dress,
It was horrible. Their hips were ex.
travagantly bulked out with skirts,
and their general appearance were
painful to eyes heedful OF grace ofline.
Oncefor all | may say that, generally
speaking, | found the Dutch women
uncomely, the children unpleasing and
d man ugly, coarse, and unsym'
pathethic. Dutch cleanliness is prov
erbial, | know; but, nevertheless, the
Dutch are not a well-washed nation.
In all their towns / found but poor
washing appliances and a sad absence
of lighthouses.
