It app-e-ars from ?omc of our exchange-1
that ' the Hon- Alex. IL Steven lately
fectd to Congress from the Augusta Dis-
trict Georgia has a better opinioa.of Pres-
ident Grant than the people who tlectcd
him and be Augmla CcnstUutionaiist
complains that the cx Vice-President of the
Confederate States' so-called is trying to
"cram down their throats' his una peculiar
admiration for th? Jtl Grant. We arc
not much ustonisl.d ht any thing Mr. Ste-
veiis may say or do. He is undoubtedly a
man of genius but very eccentric and un-
reliable as a pYilitknn and always was.
We slioald not Lti much surprised if he
finally landed in the Grant party and got n
foreign minion like his friend Orr of South
Carolina. Both these men and Governor
Drown cf Georgia 'were during the late
"unpleasantness" so extremely Southern
that they could hare no patience v. itli the
milder opinion? of .Tclfcrson Davis. Men
are so apt to go from one" extreme to
another ! Brown and Orr went to the lladi-
cals immediately after the war ended and
wc thick it not unlikely that Stephens may

Lordy!" : ' ' ';

Mr. Cardwill. a native of Georgia and

against such attacks. Compliments would
hr.ve been better received had they not
been mixed with the undeserved censure of
others.

The Gulf Colorado tti.I S?uta Fe Kail-

During the session of the LrgMaturc from

we are conipelied to publish it is iiijossi-
Lle for us to give much variety to tlie col-
umns of the Statesman; but as soon as we
pre fn-ed from this pressure we intend to
make our paper a first-rate family one and
the- inot readable and interesting in the
Stale. It will contain politics literature
and news in due roportion and the taste
of all shall be gratified if possible.
The true status of the International com-
promise bill now before the Legislature is
as follows; House Dill Xo. 712 passad the
I'ou.-e was taken up mthe Senate referred
to a committee which reported an amend-
ment that was passed as a .substitute to

We are led to these remarks from notlrg
tv cat amount of complaint aguiat the
pre-ti.t Legislature by many of the country
papers. Si nce of t!;cm and Petard'c
tS to the extent cf their knowledge of
what Democracy is are almost coarse and
abusive. This is all wrong. The Thirteenth

pare favonbly tuth the Legislatures of any

Thi the Journal averts is either the oll-
fpring of ignorance or a deliberate inten-

The suhstarce of iLy complaints against
the present Legislature nay be summed np
us follows: They hit ve been in session too
Ion1: thev have not done -what it ' was
imjiortant for them todo; and they have
done a-great deal which was of little
inipoi-t.'ir.cc--tiiat is they have jia.-ed a
irreat manv local and private Pilk. On this
las-t point His Il.veelh n -y the Padical Gov-
ernor by the giace of bayonets lias under-
taken to lecture them in his classic style.
He irdim.-t .s that . perhaj)? they are not
uware bow much of this sort of .work t hey
have done. This is very kind in His Excel-
lency who has it. seems become sa wct.iy
of Mgninsr bills that he Iras let a great
many of them become laws without his
signature. We feel obliged to him for this
gentlemanly lainoss; for we are inclined to
believe without an examination that the
most of these local bills were right and
proper. We know that 'ho present Legisla-
ture lias done noih..g hastily.- Xearly
everything has been' referred to able com-
mittee? .and these have worked laboriously
and faithfully. We never saw a more work-
ing set of men in any legislative body.
The truth is there has been very little local
knPhuIo!! since the commencement of the
late war" and we have little doubt a great
deal was needed. .
We presume also that the constituents
of the Representatives who have intro-
duced and succeeded in putting through
these various local "bills will bo satisfied
with what has been done. If they are not
it will be easy for them to show their dis-
pleasure at the ballot box.
As for the tt.ne consumed -by the pit-sent
Legislature it is not at all unreasonable
considering how much there was to do and
how much they have done. f Fur they hacc
fjic a (irct dfjl of v i.-t iniiortanre to tfx.
2cjIc of TiX'iH. They have repealed the
police law that fruitful. and awful source
of mischief and murder they have re-
pealed theodious school la.v and established
a eystera cf tr.ororP schools a hkli v."-:
hope 111 work well they -have amended
iiine children in attendance at school. The
census of 1S;0 shows an attendance of sixty-
three thousand six hundred and twenty-live
and yet the Journal asserts that the h hool
of Texas in 1S70 when the grand free
tchool pvstem went into operation could
only accommodate :dxut seventeen thou-
sand. The census of 1S70 hhows an
attendance of sixty-live thousand two hun-
dred and five. What then becomes of the
Journal's statement that in JS70 "the
schools of Texas could only accommodate
about seventeen thousand pupils." Dut fur-
ther these whools that necomnto lated over
Sixty thousand pujiihs had not more than
half the pupils they could have accommo-
dated. - Dut to make the case still stronger
we refer to the fact that the increase of
school attendance-in Texas from lSoO to
ISOO was over three hundred per cent. and
wc feel safe in asserting that the same ratio
existed in the last decade. Who will assert
that there was no increase? Who but the
Journal will assert that school attendance
in Texas fell off iu the lust decade from
nearly seventy to seventeen thousand? For
the benefit of the Journal wc. give a few
statistics in reference to school attendance.

ages of 5 and If who do not attend school

We ask th.e Jounial. to look at this table
of school attendance tind answer if Texas
Is not tinder all the circumstances in ad-
vance of any other Sdatc above named.
There for instance is Massachusetts with
Doston the hub of the world that has
been a State ready two hundred years and
for seventy ycih-s has had n 'compulsory
school law a drns'o jopulatton find not
much more territory than one county in
Texas with over eighty-four thousand
children that l.e-i er attend school and
Texas with an empire of territory thinly
populated with one hundred ten thousand.
We also give for the benefit of 'the Joumal
the registry laws so that all can vote at some statistic on ilhlorocy
their own precincts they have passed tm
equitable apportion l.tiv iliey have passed
many bills -of .a general character amending
and perfecting existing laws and alwve
all they have secured a general election
next December by which -if the Democ-
racy act with common discretion and wis-
dom all things can be set -right and they
have done all this under difficulties w hich
none at a distance can prop lly appreciate
and thcicforc -aould be. -low to condemn.
There is but turn thing more of vital mo-
ment for them to do. ami vc trust thev will
do it before they -adjourn --they must adopt
a sound tinam i.u p'-'ky and put the credit
of Texas on a level with any State in the
Union

the Democracy will at all times endeavor
to do full justice to all Democrats however
vtaied may be their sentiments and opinions
at the same time it will frankly unci cour-
teously express its owi. If it feared er
failed to do this it would not be fit for the
.position it occupies and would not deserve
the public patronage.

The Texas New lira jniblished at Long-
view puts up the 'Hon. (). M. Roberts as
its candidate for Governor. This gentle-
man has filkd many important positions ia
the State of Texas among them the Presi-
dency of the Secos-Pn Convention as staled
by the New Era.

.' Wc hope the Journal will caref ully exam-
ine this table of illiteracy." We refer
again to that paragon of a State that
claims to be in advance of the woild in
progres-ive civilization r.nd ask is not
Texas in advance of Massachusetts consid-
ering all the circumstances? Narlv
ninety-tight thousand over ten yearsof age
thut cannot write : iv are aware it may
be retorted that the ratio of the illiterate is
greater ia Texas than many of the States
enumerated but Wc deny that this is the
just and correct moeie of determining the
relative success cf a school system. If ter-
ritory be considered and ocrUiidy this con-
stitutes one of the great barriers ef e dnca-i.
lion public or juivate. th.eii Texas is iu ad-
vance of all other States. Who docs not
know that it Is easier to ediK-ae obc thou-
sand children living on a mile s.puare of
territory than one-fourth that number liv-
ing on forty miles sqnuv" ; and yet this is
about the relative territorial condition of
Texas in contract with ;my of the other
StiU-s above enumerated.
