We belive that the legislature should
not approve the hasty and partial, lease
ot the penitentiaries—because a better
lease clan b*. made tor the interest ot the
State, or it no satisfactory iease can be
made, .the State should work the convicts
under competent management, in further-
ance of ks ow i interests. Bat we believe
that the State'sTrotild work all the con-
victs sritbin the walls ot the penitentia-
ries, and in conncctiun with work going
on within the walls. It might be neces-
sary in iron mini'fg or quarrying to send a
portion uct.side, bni they should ordinari-
ly be within at night, in comfortable quar-
ters. -

Raihray Control.
We note a lengthy coirespondence
between Gov. Brown in behalf of the
Railway interests, and Col. Chenoweth,
on behalf of the committee of the Leg-
islature, to which was referred the con-
sideration of wrongs in the railway ser-
vice, and necessary control thereof.
Gov. Brown seems to have passed
the opportunity which would have been
granted him to participate in all the in-
vestigations instituted by the committee,
and waiting till the committee is ready
to report, and when little time remains
lor action,Uhen asks for a re-opening
of the investigation. If the committee
had any intent to act, within the little
time remaining for the session, it could
not grant this, but it courteously invit-
ed Gov. Brown to come before it, and
make such suggestions in behalf of the
road as he deemed proper. This he de-
clined to do, but argued that the com-
mittee should do its work all over
again, to occommodate his own ladies,
in failing to appear in proper time,
which he could have done. If, at the
outset, he had asked on behalf of the
Roads to participate in the investigation
and have a fair semi-judicial considera-
tion of the real merits of all complaints,
against railroad management—undoubt-
edly this would have only been fair
—but to neglect his opportunity, wait
until the committee was through—wit-
nesses summoned from a distance had
gone home, and then ask that the
whole matter should be gone through
again, was most unreasonable, and the
committee would have been set down as
a collection of idiots if it had consented
to it; or in the alternative, if not lack-
ness in sense that they were unfaithful
to their trust. We think the committee
rightfully offered Gov. Brown the op-
portunity to be heard in behalf of the
roads. Declining this, we think the
Legislature as a whole, should hear him
if he desires. But neither Gov. Brown
nor anybody else should be allowed to
become an impediment to a wholesome
work, or to trifle with the legitimate
action of a legislative body sworn to
represent the interests of the peo-
ple ; and whom the people and
the Press will be quite sure to hold
up to public scorn if they are derelict.
There should be no wrong done the
roads—quite as clearly there should be
no abandonment of the interests of the
people.
The Disposal of the HabUc X^ands.
file Examiner and It* Cemow.
We copy from the Dallas Heiald an
article written upon this subject by a
well known citizen,endorsing the express-
ed views of Senator Shannon upon the
sale or lease of these lands. These views
correspond with our own—that all tilla-
ble lands should be subject to sale to ac-
tual settlers in quantity not greater thau
640 acres to one settler, and the ; grazing
lands leased lor a period ot ten years tor
the most they will bring, but withheld
from present salt, so that large capitalists
or syndicates shall not be permitted to
purchase at any price, large tracts of land,
and Bhnt off immense tracts into a wilder-
ness. It is population we want—numeri-
cal strength, which will make the land to
blossom as a-rose—not immense cow pas
tures, with here and there a herdsman.
We want population to pay taxes, and
lighten the burdens of government, and
give ns strength of representation in
the public councils. We want Texas to
to become an empire—an empire of intel-
ligent people—not an immense cow pas-
ture with limited representative popula
tion, and limited intelligence. Texas
sends a representation to Congress now,
comparing favorably w ith any State. We
do not want for her future, that rich cat-
tle kings shall be able to buy represen-
tation iu the senate chamber, as ri"li mi-
ners do from several ininiug States of the
new west. We have too much ot the in-
lluence ot capital now in our Federal con-
gress—bnt from Texas, not one member
elected on any other grouud than jw-rsonl
fitness and competency. When .out sen-
atorial representation gets down grade iu
to that of the present empire State
of New York, we hope we will not be a
citizen ot Texas, which baa never sent
other than intellectual men of unblemish-
ed reputation, to the national councils.
The Promts of Raisins CJattle.
The Clarksville Standard makes some flip
pant remarks about the Waco Examines and
because the latter paper, while not enthusiast*
admirer of Governor Ireland before his elec
tion, sees fit to commend his measures. The
difference between the classes of the two pa-
pers named is this: The Examines com-
mends what it approves, no matter who is
hurt or pleased: while the Standard, having
opposed Ireland before the election would
oppose him still, though he had done the very
things it had previously advocated, or if it
supported him before the election, would con-
tinue to support him though lie contradicted
everything upon which it based its supports
The praise of the Exaxikeb is valuable, for
it is holiest and sincere, and based on what it
believes to be commendable; the praise of
the Standard woud be valuelees because, Uav
ing started out as a supporter of Ireland, it
would "whistle the same tune," no matter
what the executive action might be.
Originally the Examinee doubted Judge
Ireland's ability to make a good governor; but
unhesitatingly proclaims its satisfaction over
the prospect that it was incorrect in ita esti-
mate.
The Standard, had it predicted a failure ol
the administration of Governor Ireland,
have been as disappointed as the deuce at ev
ery indication showing that the administra-
tion would prove a success and a blessing to
the people.
We have used the names of the Examiner
and Standard as representing two classes, the
remarks ot the latter furnishing the text.—
[San Antonio Express.
The wouder is,bow this acnte critic, who
has no exchange with the Standard,
should know so much of its supposed at
tributes or tendencies. One of the pecu-
liar attributes ot some men lacking in
mental streugth,is, to set np menot straw
and knock them down again with ponder-
ous, energy. If any body knows of an oc-
casion when the Standard ever did thh
sort of thing attributed by the Express
he is invited to show it up. The editoi
being under the impression that in all ca
ses, it has done exactly the opposite. Om
thing is certain, that when Edinoud <!•
Davis,for whose bitter dislike ot the Con-
federate element, which comprised neai y
all the worth of Texas, we entertained &8
little respect as it is possible to imagine,
was declared (not elected) Governor ol
Texas, we immediately declared that we
would support all bis action for the pub-
lic good, aud when during the session ol
the 12th legislature, he antagonized many
of its frauds by vetoing |tliein, we com-
mended his action, aud to the best of out
ability sustained him. During Gov. Rob-
erta' administration, while we disappiov-
ed n.any ot his c.cts and recommendation.-
aud said so; in several exigencies, when
we deemed him right, w e gave to his sup
port the beht service that was in us. In
the case, i hat has drawn out this criticism
we especially commended the Examiner
for its manly acknowledgment of mis-judg-
ment. Then, this writer, who apparently
does not know the meuning of the term
"flippant,*' flippantly pronounces bis eru-
dite judgment upon a case of which he
has to comprehension. We think we
know how the t eculiar rabies is afflicting
him. Uc is a repiesontiitivo ot the wool
interests of San Antonio—perhaps some
wool nieii own stock iu the Express,which
we believe is owned by a joint stock com
pany. We have takeu occasion to de-
nounce the robbery of all other agricul
turists, kept up tor the benefit of one
small class of agriculturists. The Ex
press has let itself out upon the protec-
tive scheme several times—notably with
out much ettect. It was not much tor
Ireland as well as we recollect—Ireland
is no protectionist. It was against Hau
cock, because Hancock was not a protec-
tionist. It has bad the mortification oi
swing that its doctrines did not sway the
people. Ireland aud Hancock both came
into position with sweeping majorities
The t&xpwss, while an excellent Sail An-
tonio newsaper, is not much of a power
out ot San Autouio. If the Express has
any acrid feelings against the Standard^
which must have expression, let it train
its little guns right straight at us, aftei
giving us notice of its enmity, aud pop
awaj*. We shall be able to receive all the
shots and survive; and it will be so much
more manly to show its enmity by
running up its fiag aud giving u& a broad-
side direct. If it sinks us, all right; we
will go under with all onr flags flying and
drums beating.
node of administering punishment, sin-
cerely believe that it would be well tor
the public welltare so to do; but we think
they have not carefully considered it in
all its aspects, ar.d measured the utter
irretreivable personal degradation involv-
ed in it. It must not be—not will it be
among any people so chivalrons as the
l>eople of Texas.
The lr*enitentiaries.
From the Dallas Herald we extract the
following:
"Dan Wagoner and Son have tor some
time had a standing ofler from a syndi
cate of Scotch capitalists of $1,500,000 for
their entire stock ot cattle and ranch out-
fit, which ofler they have accepted. The
company have until the first day of Apri|
to make the payment."
Dan Wagoner was a boy when his fath-
er left this couu^v in perhaps 1845—some-
where about that time. In 1854, when
we tarried a tipw days at the Hunt place
a few miles troin Decatur, Dan Wagoner
had a small stock of cattle on the prairie
near by, which he attended to iu person,
which,at that time could not have needed
more attention thau he could personally ! breach of faith is to be punished, why should'

died Wednesday i2o4i!!g.° * ^ or the whipping post, some of whowadvo-
jcate it for pecuniary reasons—as a cheap
'A*lie Whipj>tn<i-l->ost.
A few of our brethren of the press of Texas
are afflicted by sort of rabies for the intro-
duction of the whipping post, ar.d the brutal
method of punishing people by scaring the
skin and wring blood from the back of a hu-
man being, in presence of a multitude. We
say no! it would be a nierch to any one with
any sense of shame remaining, rather to shoot
him thiough the head: and persons under pe-
culiar temptation may do a wrong, and still
feel a sense of shame, and have within them
the elements of reformation. We trust there
will always be too much of human sensibilities
among the members of any legislature of Tex-
as, to admit of a retrograde movement to
Turkish and Arabic systems for modes of pe-
nal justice. Upon this subject, we fiud the
following paragraph in the N. Y. World of
the 17th as a communication :
"MR. ROOSEVELT'S WHIPPING-POST.
To the Editor ot the World.
Sik: Mr. Roosevelt moves an Assembly bill
to create a public whipping-port. It is lor
the beuefit of husbands who beat their wives.
All right Hut what shall be reserved for

fracture of the marriage vow. which includes j
protection in sickness and in health f Will it:

The people of the State have an idea
that convicts put out to work, are i:i
many instances not treated as humanely as
they should be; aud some think doubt-
less, that even a wild beast should not be
Iieqtetually scourged because of his nat
ttral wildness. The people believe that
these convicts should be kept within
walls, moderately worked, well fed, and
made comfortable hv clothing and sleep-
ing ainiiigciiirn;s, not killed i>y expos-
ure to tinwholes:ii:ic weather, and made
victims to diseases arising from expos-
ure. Our own opini >ns upon this subject
are well deliiua!, aud we giv thein hr
what they may he worth. Texas heing
made a haven for all the law breakers of
the West ami Northwest, whenever they
find it unwholesome to >tay at. home,
and having also a large, negro population
inclined to the commission ot thelts, has
a large body of penitentiary convicts.
These, in our judgment, should always be
treated humanely, and at the same time
made as useful to the State, in compen
sation for the expenditure involved in
their confinement and support as practi-
cable. There is no necessity for sending
them out to work tor individuals, with
the incidents of exposure aud temptatiou
to escape, and death in the eftort to es-
cape, aud resulting from the unnecessary
exposure. The State is able to buihl an-
other penitentiary of auy desirable size,
aud with auy desirable machinery to em
ploy the convicts. The State has three
industries, that it would be well to de~
velope, and these can bo developed
through convict labor, with profit to t! e
State. The successful manipulation ol
these industries by the State, will point
the way to individuals, and create that
diversification of iudnstry inipoitaut to
everybody politic. These premises be-
ing incontrovertible, why should not the
State avail itself of the opportunity to
make a necessity contribute to the indus-
trial advancement of the State 1 One pen-
itentiary might manufacture mainly or iu
part Leavy cotton goods; auother make
heavy and medium to good, woollen
goods; blankets, jeans, kerseys, cassi-
uieresetc. The third might have a roll-
ing mill and a plant lor the manufacture
of Bessemer steel rails. Why can the
not be as cheaply made here as elsew here,
with the advantage of iron and coal con-
tiguous, and saving much distance of
transportation on ti e rails required lor
the whole Southwestern system! When
Tom Scott examined the Kelley iron
works and expressed his surprise and
gratification at the excellence of the ma-
terial aud the work done, we thought he
would avail himself of the opportunities
existing at several localities in Texas,
and erect extensive iron works for the
benefit of the Texas Pacific and its
branches. But we suppose the man was
forced to appreciate that he was over-
worked, and instead of extending, had,
for personal reasons, better contract his
operations.
But there is uo difficulty in the State
doing this thing. Another penitentiary
is needed to meet the requirement of pub-
lic feeling, and to carry out huinaue pub
lie policy. W hy not make it far reaching,
aud let it provide for a great industry re
suiting iu public l-eucfit to the State,
and not competing with the enterprises
ot ndividaals, but leadiug by example to
important investments by individuals ?

ent legislators recognize the truth ol

ed; and we only ho|tethey may succeed.'"

In the i ui prove men t ot our judicial sys-
tem by the present Legislature, compos
ed largely of lawyers, it w ill be well to
take into consideration the absurd sys
tem of jury tests pursued by the courts;
tests which lead to the trial ot import-tut
Cases by juries wholly incompetent: such
juries for iustauce as sat in the Roth-
schild case, and discharged without pen-
alty a gross aud palpable aud well prov-
en case of murder. The law should be
so amended tliat it an intelligent juror
can say that he has formed no opinion in
the case which may not be removed or
governed by the facts g:ven in evidence,
he shall be received as a competent ju
ror. The idea that the most ignorant
mau is the best juror is so foreign to rea
son, that such practice iu the courts
should not longer be permitted. As it
is, the administration ot the law, which
should command reverence by its betieli
ceut effects, is passing into general
contempt. We copy the comment of a
cotemporary journal:
"Oil I his subject the Star Vindicator
truthfully remarks. Under our present
jury l,iw a man to Le a competent juror
iu a criminal case, mu.-t be a consummate
jackass. For tlie detence to aecpt a

tool; consequently it would be an msnlt1 ,1 _ e. w n
