A Good Suggestion.

The following letter received by well
known gentleman in this city and distin-
guished officer during the war, explains
itself:
PLANO, Collin county, Tex. April 11,1SSS.
Dear General-As a confederate who
lost leg under General Hood ia front
of Atlanta, Ga, write you, not that
would be Il beneficiary in the cause that
wish to advocate, as l went into service
from the state of Tennessee, but 1 address
you in the name of humanity and Justice
There are, throughout the state, number,
not many, of disabled and helpless con-
fgderate soldiers as well as a few widows
of confederate sOldiars; they are the
wards of the state; they have been patient,
and many of them suffering, for long
years. Our legislature meets in a few
days to take action looking to the unload
ing of our plethoric and overloaded state
treasury. This vast sum will be disposed
of, perhaps much of it squandered in
reckless extravaganza. Now, general, will
you not use your pen and your state wide
influence toward having an act passed to
pension this class of the states cit
liens; only few thousands thus
used annually would do great good, and
work no hardship on any class, besides
give universal satisfaction throughout the
state. My native state years ago passed
such an act, and in the face Of bankrupt
treasury, aud the measure has given great
satisfaction. The measure recently taken
by parties at Austin, looking to aid the
Confederate home, is laudsble indeed,
but let us have the relief to extend further
to the disabled and widow. Say bill
fashioned similar to the pension act of the
general government. All that is needed
to bring about the measure is only to ad-
vocate the same. Again, let me beg you
to give your aid to the cause.
am, as ever, yours truly,
H. M. beatty. M. d.

A CT EAR STATEMENT
Concerning a Debt Of the State to
the University.

lAS On1NSrSlly'
To the f ii'or of the Statesman:
1t seems that in the bills reported by
the educational committee of the senate
and the finance committee of the house,
for the payment of what the state owes
the University, the item of $4,000 in con
federate notes taken from the University
fund in 1868 to pay current expenses of
the state government, has found no place
Against this omission 1 wish to make a
brief argument.
In the first place, this item should be
clearly distinguished from that of $4,000,
or Whereabouts, in confederate notes be
longing to the University fund and turned
over to the Confederate states depository
at Austin in 1865. The latter was not
used by the state, nor is it included in any
of the bills that have been introduced
looking to the reimbursement of the Uni
versity; fbut the $4,000 was actually used
for the support of the state government
when confederate money was still good.
1t cannot be claimed that this debt of the
state has been paid. 1t has been simply
repudiated, just as other debts contracted
during the war, but does such action as
this satisfy the general sentiment of Texas
people?
Those were dark days in '63. Then it
was that the south first began to ex-
perience in full force that dreadful
succession of calamities that culmi-
mated in Appomstox. Cut off as
we we're from all the money markets of
the world, with most of our citizens in the
field and all our resources strained to the
utmost, the problem of supporting state
government offered difficulties with which
the wisest found it hard to deal. When
Texas could get money from no other
source, this $4,000 from the University
fund brought relief. Shall the state DOW
refuse 10 pay this loan on any mere tech
nical ground? When one Individual Dor
rows from another under such circum-
stances, how is the borrower expected to
feel towards the lender, and what does the
public say of the former if he denies or
in his time of prosperity fails to fully dis
charg the debt?
1t has been said that many members of
the Twentieth Legislature are prejudced
against the University. Personal inter
course with most of them has convinced
me that very few of their number are real
enemies to this institution or have any
other feeling against it than that
which is due to want of familiarity with
its work and necessities. The overwhelm-
ing majority of them will support any
claim of the University that in their own
opinion is Just, and believe that if this
matter is put before them in the proper
light, the $4,000 will be paid. ***

THE DALLAS LIGHT GUARDS
Tender tho Sponsorship of Their
Company to an Austin Belle.

SOulpd W dA AuoUAA hOAAO'
DALLAS, Texas, April %, 1883.
To the Editor of the Statesman:
At a recent meeting of the Dallas Light
Guards the sponsorship of their COM
pany during the occasion of the state and
Interstate drill in May was considered
and this honor was unanimously con-
ferred upon Miss Sallie Lindsey Walker,
of Austin. When her election was officially
announced Camp Maddin resounded for
several minutes with the voices of tlirty-
eight members in three loud and enthu
siastic cheers for their sponsor-elect, and
the company adjourned, greatly elated
AID delighted over their action. Messrs.
j. Welborn, Jack, @. F. Cook and A. d.
Scofey, who were appointed to notify Miss
Walker of her success, have since
announced her formal acceptance, and
this was made an occasion for general
congratulations. Mss Walker is the ac-
complished daughter of Gen. R. l.. Walker,
state superintendent of the capitol con-
struction, and one of Austln's fairest and
most popular bellies. On some evening
during drill week the company will be
presented to It's sponsor at her house, and
afterwards a reception rendered them.
The company pledges its best efforts 10
prove worthy of their sponsor, and, with
this new inducement before them, they
not only hope for success, but aim at the
browning laurel of the occasion.
