AN IMPORTANT QUESTION NEG.
LECTED

In their interviews, giving the public
an insight into their notions Of certain
lines Of public policy, MI Swain and
Gen. Ross had nothing to say upon one
important question that viii come before
the next legislature. That is high
license. They both condemned prohibits
ton as impractIcable, and Gen. Ross
part In the fight against local prohibition
IN Waco made IL entirely unnecessary for
him to say that he would do his best to
defeat legislation in that direction But
neither he nor MIR. Swain gave us an ink
ling Of what they thought of the proprely
aud practlcablllty ofhigh license.
The objection Of these gentlemen TO
prohibition Is that ii attempts thing
that cannot be done. Experience In
other states supports these views. Pro-
hibltlon has always failed to prohibit.
we infer, from the tone OF their remarks,
that both of these gentlemen would
willingly have legislation that would
more efficiently regulate the whisky
business than is accomplished by our
present laws. This, rs has been
shown, can be done 10y high-liccnse
laws, which In other states have dimin-
lshcd the use Of whisky, have reduced
tho number Of saloons, have driven the
worst class OF such places out Of OK
lstcuce, have improved the character
of those remaining and have more than
doubled the state revenues from dram
shop licenses. The same reform Is
needed IN Texas, and the same laws
win give 1t. Though our two leading
! candidates for governor have not put
themselves on record as in favor Of
! high-llcepse, the omission to DO 30
appears TO have been due TO negli-
gence. They covered so much ground
aud dealt with so many questions that
some had to be sighted. Any legislation
in the direction of high license will, we
ieel sure, receive the Appreciation Of
either Mr., Swain or Gen. Ross as gov
ernor.

OUR RAILR0AD FACILITIES.

The present strike, by showing the
magnitude Of the railio d interests at
Fort Worth, has very largely drawn at
teuton 10 the fact that this ~ one Of the
most important railroad centers Ia the
state. Houston has more roads, but these
that enter, pass through and start from
Fort Worth are Of so much moro lmpor-
lance MS to put us ON an equal footing
with Houston; and certainly no other
city in the state can dispute pre-eminenco
with Fort Worth as distributing point,
The Texas s Pacific and the Missouri
Pacific are trunk lines that reach out
cast and west, north and south, to the
confines Of the state, and give US couuoc
ton with the great cities of the North
and East, The International, "a branch Of The
Texas & Pacific, connects us with the rich
and prosperous country extending along
Red river to the northeast, mdisputably
the finest agricultural region OF the state
Tho Santa Fe brings us In reach Of the
| gulf at Galveston, and gives our mer-
| chants IN entrance TO the country to the
southeast. The Fort Worth & Denver
controls the trade of the acknowledging
northwest, aud brings It all to Fort
Worth. In fact, our wholesalers have
little rivalry In that part OF the state.
Within six weeks the Fort Worth & New
orleans will give us connection at WaXa,
hachlo with the Texas Central system,
and at Midlothian with the Texas & ST
Louis. These roads are formidable rly.
ais Of the Texas & Pacific and the Mis-.
souri, Pacific systems In the foreign trade,

will have road to Brentwood within
year, TO establish our sovereignty over
the country TO the southwest, and Their,
connecting again With the Santa Re, and
probably with the San Antonio Arausas
road, which Is projected 10 that point.

CROCKETT, TEN, March g. 1856
10 the Editor OF the Gazette
one OF the principal defects in our road
laws is want OF proper and intelligent SUI
perysion, and the other is the divided
authority conferred on different arms Of
the government in the execution of the
road law Judging from the editorial,
all the editors, two-thrds CT the lawyers
and the general public believe that the
commissioners courts should have plcn-
airy powers in regard to the execution of
the road law. Commissioners courts
have authority TO lay out and open new
roads and change roads and appoint over
seers and assign the hanGs, and there this
authority ends over the overscers and the
hands. The courts have no control over
them at all. The law says Oyerseers shall
make reports TO the commissioners
courts, but If they do not, the courts are
powerless TO get even the reports to ena-
Bile them TO apportion the hands properly
The powers are lodged with the grand iu-
ries, and they are responsible to no per-
son or tribunal. This divided authority
and duties will render it impracticable to
ever have good roads under the present
system, which is good enough and the
labor ample II IL were operate under
competent and skilled supervision, and
one-thlrd OF the labor now expended
would be saved to the hands.
To this end there should be appointed
for the county at large or for each com
mlssloners' precinct Il snpcrvlsOr~-sk skilled
in grading and properly draining and
slde-ditching the roads and whose duty
1t would be to call out the hands and
personally superintend the working OF the
roads and make him responsible to the
commissioners courts, and require courts
to cause the roads to be properly worked,
and clothe them with the necessary au
thority TO carry ont the duty imposed.
2. The convict labor should be used
TO improve the roads instead OF working
them ON farms, and thereby relieve local
labor.
8. Bridges should be constructed by
taxation, bat Go attempt 10 levy taxes TO
keep the roads would beunwisc, as shown
by our experience under the constitution
q lsNNi and proper and efficient appllca-
ton OF the money would be impracticable.

GllMER TEN, March l., 1856.
To the Editor Of the Gazette
You viii remember that we are in East
Texas and in the brush. As to the road
law, we are OF the opinion that Ave days
labor faithfully applied by each person
liable to road duty ON the public roads
would he sufficient 10 make and keep IN
good condition the roads in this part oi
Texas. The trouble ~, hands do not
work under the present system, and the
fault Is in our road supervisors and the
officers OF the law. If the law was en-
forced as 1t now is there would be no use
of more time, or additional tax for
working roads additional tax would be
more Just than additional number of
days. The law is good enough to be let
alone for while. We do not favor the
practice OF a change at the meeting of
each legislature unless the law is very
defective AS my friend Judge Cate Of
Wood county has just said the people
are slow to learn law and that we Ger
tainly ought TO give them trial before
we make Il change,
SCHOOL LAW.
AS TO the school law, we admit that we
hardly know what change, VI any, should
be made THIS (Upshur) county is under
the community system, and we are not
well posted as to the working of the law
under the district system, though we
have given the matter some little thought,
aud, II we are correct, the community
system Is the cheapest Of the two. Under
the district system each county has Il
county superintendent at an average
salary Of about $500 per annum. This Is
ab0nt SGO0 more than Is paid to each
illtItru g.,
Ing a useless expenditure OF about $780,
600 annually, with an additional cost of
$500 to be paid 10 the state supelintend
eut and one clerk, and the extra cost of
surveying and distrctng the counties.
which we suppose Will he nj least $4,000,
making the sum-tQtal Of Sl4s,700 OF the
childron's money, as we think, squan-
I dcred 20 but little purpose. Is this econ
