late to the 3tat* Gcabd and Mar-
tí At Law, oar opposition we trast,
has been sufflcltntly marked, in
opposing the sectjoni relating to
tb'Ose despotic too! and measures,
' we desire it to be distinctly oader-
ttood; thai, we hare made no oppo-
sition to any other portions of the*
bill.
So fitr as the organisation of a
Militia, as rtoogniaed before the
war, and in sush u manner as to be
effective, we bave made no objec-
tion. Although our position has
been misstated and oar opposition
to tbo sections referrod to has been
quoted to show our opposition to
the whole bill, and oonseqneiitly
Ah attempt was made at New Orleans
on the 16th fnst, to introduce negro
children into i wo of the public schools.
Three negro beys were presented for ad-
mission by a Committee of eight, but
weie refused on the ground that instruc
tion for admission of negroea had not
been given by the Superintendent—
Great excitement prevailed and the po-
lice were called out. Trouble is antici-
pated.
Notwithstakmno the Galveston
JVetM has time and again denied the
charge of being a Democrat, the Mo
Kinney Enquirer claims to be a "close
reader" of the Nevs and "regards it as
being decidedly the ablest Democratic
paper in the St^te." We guess the
¿fetos will hardly thank the Enquirer
for its oflli.ious intermediing. But—
wouldn't tha fool kilter do a smashing
business in Collin county}
in order to subsidise the Radical
press throughout the State, We un-
derstand, the Radical members of
the Legislature propose to adopt
the Browhmw policy of Tennessee,
by giving them the legal advertis-
ing at high rates. To prevent their
seuuring this mean advantage, we
proposo to the Democratic press of
the Texas to publish the lwgal ad-
vertising gratuitously. What say
our brethren?

Wx hear it rumored on the streets
that tho State Fair will probably
be removed irom Houston to the
city of Austin, in consequence of a
want of hotel and other accommo-
dations salted to the ocoasion, tn
tbo Bayou City. We doubt tbe
propriety ftf *oob a move, under all
the circumstances, yet tt it booomes
necensary; wo extend to all who
may attend, a hearty welcome.

oonciu*-1on advanced for us that we
were against all measures that
looked to seCurety, yet we defy ofte
line to be quoted to show that we
opposed the ogantaAtion of the Mili-
tia. We made an inquiry, but it
was not opposition.
¡I The Journal in its sham defenoe
Of tho hill, has very cunningly eva-
ded any discussion of Maetiaj, Law
and has said but little abont tbe
Stats Gua&d, but has kept up a
heavy defence of the "Militia Law"
in general.
Tbe Journal and any other paper
oaa frame a good argument on the
propriety of a good Militia Law as
commonly understood, bnt when it
gives us tbe poison in tbe dish in
the form of Stat* Güa*b and Mar-
gal Law, and proposes that we
take the whole down as good Mill-
tia Law we tell it that it does not
suit a Republican stomach.
fhls was a very neat dodge of the
Journal, but it was not'likely to de-
ceive the most casual reader of
newspapers. It would have been
good for anyone who never reads
any other newspaper besides tbe
Journal and who receives it as being
the expounder of truth, possessing
the remarkable characters of infsla-
bility.
The Journal will not gain much
credit as a logician if it attempts to
smuggle in under a well known term
like Malitia Law a mass of unheard
of accidents and rely on an argu-
ment that is almost axiomatic to
frame tbe new Militia Law. Look
over the horn books a little.

The State Fair.
Tbe Fair In Houston like tbe
DavIs Mill tia Horror in Austin, is,
of course, just now, tbe all*abolisb-
ing topic. Tbe' Time* says that
bees are lazy compared to the citi-
sen of the Bayuu City. T iey
rise, eat, talk, work and sle^p with
the Fair, and each and every one
is bard at work. Louisiana aid
several of the Western, States are
represented, and the Fair baa, no
doubt, assumed greater magnitude
and importance than was hereto-
fore claimed that it would, by it#
enterprising pr^ectors. We are
impatiently awaiting foil
lars from our correspondent.
Tbe Telegraph says of ibe first
day's proceedings:

was offered bv the Rev Dr. Hutchinson.

the People nave not given it the

to it the power to bo privilege any

The truth is, it ia net pretended by
juritf&a that Makhal Law is any-
thing eloe than a usurpation for a

The acquiescence of the People, and
his ability to carry otit bis orders
and make effective bia assumptions
ar® the only «ustainer he can have.
Gov. Davis has ae much authority
now without legislative sanction to
declare Martial Law as he baa with
such sanction; and that is no an-
thority at all. Tbe moment be de-
