CORhTITl'TIONAL CONVENTION
AND TOM KCOTf.
Members of the Convention who sought
to inhibit the future grant of lands to rail
roads will do well to read and digest the
following plank in the Democratic platform
f 1873:
"That the Democracy of Texas adhere to
their past policy of developing the material
resources of the State and fostering the
best interests of the people by encouraging
the construction of railroads. That to this
nd. and to encourage the investment of
capital in such enterprises we favor the
granting liberal characters to companies able
to build such railroads and of donating to
such companies alternate sections of the va
cant lands under proper restrictions and
with such provisions of law as will protect
the people agairst oppression and unreason-
able exaction until each section of the
State has its equal proportion of railroad
facilities.'
The Convention could not disregard this
committal to the encouragement of the con-
struction of railways and maintain fealty to
the Democratic party and yet we are told
that acceptance of the new Constitution is
to be made a test of Democratic integrity.
Not only is this true but being true the
Democratic platform of 1873 is annulled.
A liberal railway-building policy was to
have been fostered until each section of the
State was given adequate railway facilities.
The west has hardly been dealt with justly
and such are restrictions required to be im-
posed npon cities and counties that few
publio highways even of the cheapest
character can be'eonstructed. The rabble
oould not be trusted and yet the Rutabe-
gat had not the courage to restrict the suf-
f rageand.to savecouuties and corporations
they declare against the creation of in-
debtedness and thus against railway con-
struction. On the contrary in dealing with
Tom Scott and Pierce and owners of
other unfinished roads the Convention
evinces unheard of generosity. Tom Scott
road corporation .can invade. It is a very
empire. It is rich in every resource of
wealth. Hunters and Indians tell of gold
nines of fabulous richness along the route
of this Pacific railway. The grant now re-
newed end made final conveys an area of
country broader than Connecticut and most
f it as productive as the rich plains about
Bonham and Sherman. In fact Texas has
given Tom Scott a basis of credit enabling
Congress without danger of possible loss
to lend eighty millions of bonda as re-
quired by the railway magnate. The ces-
sion made last Saturday by the Convention
is not only munificent confirming all foraier
grants but there can be no need for future
action at the hands of Texan legislatures.
The ordinance extends the time within
which Tom Scott must build the road
to Fort Worth to the close of the
next session of the Legislature which
will not adjourn until after the road will
be built to the point beyond which restric-
tions and conditions cease to operate.
Strange too this ordinance was offered by
Old Rutabaga himself Mr. Johnson of Col-
lin whose horror of railways when he first
appeared in Austin was deemed absolutely
sublime. What the people of Texas will
say of all this queer concatenation of curi-
ous liberal and illiberal policies and decla-
mations affecting railways involved in the
action of the Convention remains to be seen.
One fact is palpable that the Constitution-
al Convention to the extent that it may be
invested with origiual power and right has
placed the Texas Pacific beyond the reach
f feture legislation and relieved it of all
restrictions save such as are imposed by or-
iginal acts of incorporation.
TUB BOOT ON TUB OT1IEU LEO. -
At least three admirable gentlemen mem-
ben of the Constitutional Convention are
accustomed to write letter for publication
to their home organs. Each of these seeks
to popularize the new constitution.  Each
liko a tailor when dealing with a country
bumpkin would have it appear that this
Joseph's coat of many color befits the per-
son of Texas most admirably. They point
out the several beauties of the new garment
and tarn and twist and laud their own skill
and denounce all critics as corrnpt with un-
sparing acrimony. Three member of the
Convention have written 'such nke lit-
tle letter in which they declare that
the railroad ring have been baying the
press in all directions and hiring it to as-
tail and defeat the Constitution. But see
how absurd and reck less must be the asser-
tions of these letter-writer. We do not
object to Col. DeMorse' epistolary ejacula-
tions. He has the confessed right to allege
anything he chooses. People have been
listening to his extravagnnccs for forty or
'fifty years and the enduring effect is that of
a 'norther" from Pike's Peak or of a tepbyr
from the equator. But Col. Brown and
opr neat young friend Mr. Ramcy who if
he had posseaaed another clean garment
would have given us nnsUirted these
two have been especially terrific la asserting
the corruptness of the press. In their eyee
the ne wopaper that disapprove the Constitu
tion Lav been bought by the rail
ways and they so declare in their publi
cation. Now wo would ask in view of
recent extraordinary Tom Scott legislation
relieving the Texaa and Pacic forever of
the Beeeity of again appearing as a peti-
tioner before Texaa Legislatare if some-
body eSe has not been bought. Singular
txyond a;l comprehension is the fact that
ola Rutabaga the impersonation of hostil
ity to raiiavi is t!ie author of an ordinance
worth ten tuiUions or more to Tom Scott
aal jit Iteso good people nho saw cleriy
how the Telegraph and San Antonio Herald
and Statesman and Marshall Herald and
other organs of opinion were purchased
cannot see how it is possible for the people
to suspect that old Rutabaga and these let
ter writers were bought and sold.
But we do not belire that any of these
men were sola to i om bcott. l liey mu
bare acted very wisely and have certainly
contradicted all purposes ascribed to them
when they came to Austin ; but they were
hardly bought. We have only written to
show how completely the tables are turned
and that when people Jive in glass bouses
they should not throw stones and that
when Messrs. DeMorse. Brown and Ramey
and the rent find newspapers condemning
their wisdom or folly it does not follow
that such newrpnpers are corrupt. The
lesson we would i aculeate is a valuable one
and would especially serve if not forgot
ten to make Col. DcMorse somewhat use
ful in h'S day and generation and a bene-
factor rather than Calamity to the common
wealth.
XII at JUUGLEBS.
The purpose of the members of the Con
vention has been to make the Tom Scott
relief ordinance which also releives all un
finished Texan railways depend for effect-
iveness upon the adoption of the Constitu
tion. In other words the railroad compa
nies rout-t am-ure the adoption of the new
Constitution. Is it not wonderful to dis-
2QTIance an alliance between Rutabaga-
ism and the railways? When the good
Grangers throughout the State see these
tbintrs will not hay seed fly? Won't
they shake their heads fiercely? But
not only is it proposed to compel
railways to come to the rescue
but all sorts of adventitious aids must be
resorted to to compel the adoption of the
new code of organic law. Day-before-yes-
terday when the subject of the election
was considered Mr. Ballinger proposed to
submit the work of the Convention to the
people independently of all other facts
and that no other election should occur at
the time. lie contended that the Conbtitu
tion shouli be submitted on its own merits
and it it suited the calm dispassionate rea
soning of the people they could ratify it.
if not reject it. This he aaterted is the
only proper way to submit the question;
that it is the honrst way. Let it be put on
its merits and rise or fall accordingly. The
Convention voted down the proposition by
a vote of fifty-two to fourteen. It is to be
regretted that these facts constitute a pub
lic confession made by the Convention it
self that the adoption of the Constitution
must be forced by all extraneous aids and
that demagogism which has done so much
in creating must also act as accoucheur and
present the Convention's pretty bantling to
an admiring world
In illustration of the opiuions of mtelli
gent people it may be well to report the
facts of the brief interview and colloquy
that occurred a few days ago between the
bland smiling Col. Pickett President of
the Convention and the wise and patriotic
and courtly Dr. Ashbel Smith. When the
two gentlemen met after the usual saluta
tions Mr. Pickett eaid

vention ?

V1CE-PHESIDEXTS.
The death of Mr. Vice-President Wilson
announced in the Statesman's dispatches
yesterday furnishes occasion for recalling
the fact. that eighteen persons have held the
office of Vice-President of the United State.
Of these three John Adams Thomas Jef-
ferson and Martin Van Buren were subse-
quently elected to the Presidency. One
John C. Calhoun resigned before complet-
ing his term. Three John Tyler Millard
Fillmore and Andrew Johnson succeeded
to the Presidency in consequence of the
death of the President. Three George
Clinton of New York Elbridge Gerry of
Massachusetts and William R King of
Alabama died in office. George Clinton
was elected Vice-President at the second
election of Jefferson and was re-elected i
1808 with Madison. He died at Washing-
ton during the session of Congress in April
1812. Elbridge Gerry was elected Vice
President at the second election of Madi-
son and died suddenly at Washington
during the session of Congress November
24 18U. . William R. King was elected
Vice-President on the ticket with President
Pierce in 1853. Before the time for tak-
ing the oath of office his failing health
compelled him to go to Cuba and Con-
gress by law authorized him to take the
oath there and it was administered to him
by the American Consul. He returned to
his borne at Cahaba Ala and died April
17 1858 the day after his return. Of those
who have held office H innibal Hamlin and
cnuyier Colfax aloue survive. Of those
ho have held office as Vice-President.
Messr. Burr Calhoun Van Buren R. M.
Johnson Tyler Dallas King Hamlin An-
drew Johnsou and Henry Wilson had served
previously in the Senate; Gerry Tomkins
Fillmore Breckenridge and Colfax had
served in the House ; and Calhoun Richard
M. Johnson King Hamlin and Andrew
Johnson had served iu both House. John
Adam Jefferson and Gerry were signer of
the Declaration of Independence. Mr. Wil-
son hat been a member of the United State
Senate for about twenty years. He rose to
power on the back of Free Soil supplanting
even the godlike Webster in the affections
and confidence of Massachusetts. He was
hardly a great maj but thoroughly in sym-
pathy with the class whence he sprung a
Sumner was with Massachusetts scholars
and gentlemen. He was of those denomi-
nated self-made" a shoemaker in early
lifetime even as Gen. Banks a greater man
intellectually raa a weaver. Of recent
year Mr. Wilton had lost caste. The negro
question was dying and Wilson descended
with it very properly to the tomb.
Thk bidding Tr3m4 doot want appro-
val of the new Constitution to be mad a
test of party fealty and say If Major Say-
r and hi platform-makers pat in this
plank that tV" Tribvm may and probably
will kick out of the trace and spoil and
smash thing. . The Telegraph and Marshall
and San Ante Herald and many other
newspaper taic in mac the tame way.
They say they may fight it inside the party.
Ir ia certainly doe to the people and press
or Texas that a schedule of amendments
ana. especially that aHecUng suffrage in
local elections be submitted with the Con-
stitution to the people. If it be sot done
the chance are that the Constitution will
net be adopted.
Capt. Johs Price a native of Culpepper
e mnty Virginia and a descendant of the
Pendleton family was buried ten years ago
in the cemetery at La Grange after a brief
illness. The Captain had been a man of
clear and strong intellect Lis life had been
marked by rectitude and he met the last
enemy with manly sobniiaeion and trust in
the Divine Providence. He had for years
expressed a firm belief that before his pas
sage into the spiritual world he would cer-
taiuly see the departed members of bis
household espec ally his mother wife and
children. And at the moment preceding
decease his hope was perhaps realized for
his features .were suddenly Uhted with
gladnesi and animal ion and his eye beamed
with affectionate recognition as though ue
felt and -welcomed the supernal and
strengthening presence of the loved ones
gone before. For some time after the death
the features retained the rapt and intense
expression aseumed at the moment of dis
solution and which astonished and startled
the stand rs-by. Phenomena differing only
in degree have often been witnessed at the
death bed of children and of persons of
pure humble and earnest lives who can
meet the solemn charge of mortality with
out fear of death' and with unfailing trust
in the love of God. May it not be that as
upon our entrance into this world we are re
ceived into the waiting arms of tender af
fection so upon our birth into the higher
realms of the spirit we are greeted with
we have loved and mourned
We believe it
and that only the gross materialism of our
hves prevents it universal acknowledge
ment.
The Statesman i the only paper we be'
live in Texas that persistently adheres to
the Democratic platform of 18G8 and de
clares against the reconstruction acts and
abhors the civil rights act and deems uni-
versal suffrage infamous and intolerable.
Yet when the Statesman chooses to con
demn some act of men or of the Conven
vention or of the legislature involving no
question of party fealty one class of idiots
roars about bribery and another accuses the
Statesman of Radicalism. If adhesion to
original - party principles as Jeffer
son defined Democracy significant
of local freedom and of home rule
make a newspaper Democratic the
Statesman is surely faultless. But
party "organs" of yesterday who pro
nounced the Statesman Radical because it
objected to the creation of a partisan Con-
stitution now declare they will fight the
Constitution ''inside the Democratic party."
If tbey may dc this may they not also look
backward a few weeks over their shoulders
and apologize for their assertion of our infi-
delity to Democracy? We opposed a sap-
posed ; they the real fact. We objected to
paitisanship in organic law-making ; they
object to the law when made. We will
confess them to be true and good Demo-
crats and even that they have not stultified
themselves if they will only say the States-
man inside the par'y fought John Ireland.
Surely we ask only fairness at the hands of
our contemporaries and they will have the
generosity and courage to concede it.
The Convention en masse warmly con-.
gratulated Col. Cook of Gonzales on his
reappearance in his seat in the Convention
He has been .confined to his room three
weeks by serious indisposition. It requires
npt a litte. vigor of body aS of intellect to
night on committees and in the Convention
itself and they who think show signs of
weariness. Old Rutabaga his constituents
will be happy to learn is lively as a lark
and Mr. Ramey can be heard with singular
freshness and surpassing eloquence now and
then to move the previous question ; and
then instead of saying modestly and in sal
dued tone when absent at roll call "Mr.
President I would vote no" or "aye" he
rises with sudden elasticity like a 6pring
monkey from the toy boj and in a most im-
posing manner and with a sten tor's voice
exclaims "Mr. Speaker I would have my
vote recorded in the negative." There is a
grandeur of style and a "git up and git" in
the mannerism of the admirable Mr. Ramey
an indication of the wide ramey Beat ions of
his genius and his health is perfect nnder
all these burdens and despite all these toils.
' No one can tell even yet of what the
new constitution will consist. Whatever
we may wish of its excellencies it can only
be adopted because preferred to the exist-
ing organic code of Texas and until both
instruments be printed side by side the
value and acceptability of the new cannot
be determined. It may be amended with
facility and in this fact consists an argu-
ment in behalf of its adoption suggested
even by its glaring defects. The greater
these blunders the easier the task of reform-
ing them and the surer the people to vote
for amendments submittfd by the legislature.
And thus it is possibly a fact that the worse
the new Constitution the surer tts approval.
The Legislature after the first year may
augment judges' salaries and there are
many little dodges of this sort injected into
the new Constitution by )rewd gentlemen
which old Rutabaga perhaps never discov.
ered and the. whole scheme of government
may be after all infinitely better or worse
than we have imagined. Therefore let us be
patient and make up our minds finally only
when we have the new and old State papers
printed in parallel columns side by aide.
To relieve a Rutabaga' conscience of any
twitching to which it may be subjected
oecauae of a few liberal ideas injected to be
hoped for In the new constitution we pre-
sent fact showing the extraordinary extent
to which the resource of a country may be
developed by railways the most beneficent
agents of progressive civilization :
During the year ending Mty 1 1974
there were transported over the Central in
round numbers a quarter of a million of
bale and in the succeeding year ' ending
May 1 1875 213107 bales. The following
ia the comparative number of bale shipped
over the road in October of each - year for
the last three years: October 1873. 16.2C5
bales ; October 1874 36123 bales ; October
1875 59.358 bales the number of bale
transported in October last being more than
triple the shipment ' the same time and
period two years ago.
During the last four year the number of
passenger carried over the road was about
1000000; the number rf passengers trans-
ported for the year ending October 1874
was 243 S23 and the succeeding year end-
ing the first of the current month 253780;
in all 437(03 passenger for the last two
years or at the rate of 667 per day
Til Examiner takes occasion to congrat-
olate Austin on the wonderful success of
the State Fair and doe not forget to say
that onle the street railwsy be extended
to the fair g&aads and barber hackmen
and a few landlord killed and the fact
announced in the Austin dailies there will
never come another stranger to Austin to
be fleeced remorselessly. The street car

Thr next great election is that of Speaker
of the House of Representatives. Cox
R-indait Wood and Kerr are the aspirants.
Wood has stated it is said that he would
not be a candidate. Randall is a devout
high tariff man and the South and West
cannot seller him however much he may
be admired to'organize the committees of
the House. He ia the choice of Blaine and
of the bich tariff Republicans. Kerr ih
great heavy old conestoga pondero us an
".lii;h slow." A cood Democrat and
sound and addicted to bard morey S. S.
Cox is the Suladin of the fight as Kerr
wields the heavy claymore of Richard so
Cox'a keen intellect is the sciuieter that
lashes most brilliantly in this conflict. He
has been fourteen years a member of the
House: is fiftv-two years old a mm of fine
culture great personal popularity and most
ttrartive manners. His popularity with
the younger Democratic members will para
lyze Kerr's strength and his being an Ohio
man will enable him to divide the vote of
the West with Kerr.
J. II. B. who writes now and then excel-
lent letters from Austin to the Dallas Com-
mercial says sensibly that "we the Con-
vention intend to put the new Constitution
in every household in the State and chal-
lenge the verdict of the yeomanry of the
country. Hired emissaries and the paid
tools of cliques and monopolies cannot with-
stand the voice of the multitude when onct
. . o---- m ii-iuiiu uemg
fixed in the Constitution. It is time well
and nobly spent in behalf of the people's
rights and liberties." We do not believe
that anybody has been hired to oppose the
adoption of the new Constitution but it has
a flue moral effect upon the people to say so.
A correspondent says he can ncveravote
for the new Constitution "because a. lot of
lively little jackasses will be put upon the
bench; that no decent lawyer will accept
the once ' honored office of district judge;
justice will be administered not in accord-
ance with law and right but to win popu
lar favor for fools." Therefore says our
friend I cannot vote for the new Constitu-
tion. "To make judges elective by the
people and then exclude the ablett and
wisest men from judgeships by parsimoniou8
Ratabacft salaries ruins the svstem of
courts and I am against the new Constitu
tion now and fnrpvnr."
The Lampasas Vixpatch says that "Judge
Reagau is receiving Bevere lectures for not
endorsing the extensive and expensive
school system proposed by members of the
Convention. The Judge will be able to
survive the cas-tigation. He acts in accor
dance with the wishes of the people and
these he should consult. To fool away two
or three months making a school system
which will be voted down by the people
would be the veriest folly."
It is almost conclusively provwn that Bab-
cock the bloody . rascal who is Grunt's
keeper when the latter is on a big drunk

about making a descent upon the plunderers
of the government. Either Grant or Bab-
cock sent the dispatch.
.Mb. Kilgobb's resolution bubmitting
amendments to the Constitution is by no
means what it should : be. The suffrage
question should be met squarely as well as
other important measures in a schedule of

tion ot representatives from-Mexico and
Southern and Western States to consider ex
Wting obstacles to trade with Mexico. Let
ters have been received from the Governors
of a number of States and from prominent
officials of both countries strongly indors
ink the proposition. There has been no re
vision ot the tana on exports to Mexico
foi fifty veara. and it is generally felt that
it is time to set aside the antiquated and
almost prohibitory system so long in vogue.
Iu this connection it may be mentioned that
the much discussed direct trade project be-
tween the Mississippi States and Brazil does
not appear to make the rapid progress which
was anticipated. ' St. Louis millers were ex
pected to make up an experimental cargo
lor the Rio market but that expectation has
been disappointed and so the first steamer
has not got off yet. The New Orleans
journals notwithstanding this discourage
ment however are advocating tne- enter
prise with a z?al which certainly deserves
II ll ooes not comiuauu success.
A Washington letter dated on Sunday last
says: "No official information . has yet
been received here concerning the alleged
indictment of Orville Grant and Geo. Bab-
coc.k although the first statement made
from St. Louis has been reiterated iu other
quarters. Orville Grant was here about ten
days ago and evidently had something on
his mind. It was supposed at the time that
something had grone wrong with his Indian
contracts particularly as a notd New York
speculator also deep in Indian contracts
was here at the same time and hanging
around the White House. Brother Orville
however disappeared four or five days ago
and now the gossips think it was the whisky
business which disturbed his dreams. As
sudden acquisition of wealth by the state-
ment that a great rise in Kansas lands
which he held enabled him to exchange
them for the snug blocks of fashionable
houses which he now possesses in this city.
It is said that if ever the inside history of
the whisky ring should be brought to light
it will be a tale of the most thrilling and
startling interest affecting not only promi-
nent people in the great cities of the West
but also persons moving in the very highest
society of the capital. For this very reason
it has been strongly doubted whether the
prosecutions would be pushed in good faith.
The late developments are taken now as an
evidence that there is to be no relaxation
and really the matter has now gone so far
th:;t there is no authority high enough to
brave the consequrnces of interfering. Af-
ter it is all over there are methods which
miy be availed of to wreak vengeanee. ..

The Texas Christian Adeocate gives its

The Austin correspondent of the Dcnison
Jf!said on the eighteenth: "I imagine
tbat.tbe people had much rather hear ol the
extension of the Texas and Pacific road
than anoLher extension of time. It is to be
hoped that the committee will not so far for-
get itself that it will entertain this class of
special legislation while making an organic
law." It seems the Convention hasn't much
respect for the wishes of this excellent letter-writer.
If those curious fellows who so delight
in criticising the conduct of Gov. Hubbard
cared no more for money than I e does and
as much for the blessings of this world we
would all be happier and better and honest-

blessed country where glittering com is
converted into pavements ; for sidewalks'

Confederate shinplastcrs.

- An Indianian who has been roaming over

ment why a person should leave Texas and

thence to Lampasas.
Guibord't remains were quietly entomlied

the restoration of white supremacy would
cot induce Ida to return to hi old borne.
Hit answer was that this tame horrible con-

The allusiont to .the Rutabaga" Consti-
tution excited infinite mirth each evening
of the entertainments given by Dupres't
minstrels. The "Rutabaga Constitution"
will be as famous by this designation aa
that Of Davis and Cnnby and R gers or
as that of " 1845"-which Ramey wished
to gobble at one "fell swoop" which must
be known as the "fell swoop Constitution"
and then as the Pcase Constitution or the
ttepubtic. Ot all these the Kutauaga
Constitution is chiefert aud peihaps love-
liest. .....

Tbe Houston Age says thst "the matter of
municipat government needs overhauling
in Texas. There must be something inher-
ently rotten for there ia a general outcry
in the Statu against the weakness or some-
thing worae of the city government. ' Gal
veston Houston Austin au Antonio Jl-
ferson are all at it. We suspect that the
true cause of it is that under the iwtem
that prevails the bet citizen are practically
excluded hum the city offices and the man-
agement of affairs is necessarily left to un-
tried and incompetent bands."
The Tyler Democrat says that Hon. T. J.
Word it in that city as full of life at a
young man of twenty-one. . Ue belongs to
the line of honest patriots. Ue was a mem-
ber of Congress in 1838. fr6m Mississippi
when Gov -Wm. Allen T. H. Beuton Hugh
L. White Heury Clay John C. Calhoun
Daniel Webster John For?yth Silas
Wright John M. Berrien and men of that
class shaped the legislation of the country.
There were no Ben Butlers or Zach Chand-
lers in Congress in those days. . Such char-
acters would hardly have been suffered to
enter the Capitol in the earliei daye of the
Republic. .
The Mexia Letar says "that the new
Constitution provides for perpetual political
canvasses by a two year's term of office ; it
privileges wir.tj the bast citizms of the
land; it prohibits the Legislature from al
lowing to officials salaries sufficient to sup
port a uecru appearance; it not only re-
fases to provide for an immigration bnrau.
but absolutely discountenance immigration
by declaring that our Legislatures never
shall do anything to totter it; it kills all
chances for a practical and profitable public
svuooi Bjjsuem ; it provides ior usury laws
which have proven injurious to every en-
lightened country which has tried them and
yet there is a psrty of Democrats extolling
the instrument and declaring it ought by
all means to be adopted." 
The Jasper Newsboy like the rest of tht
intelligent press of Texas can Vee nothing
wrong in the suffrage qualification; on the
contrary it would debsr no one from tht
coveted privilege except the Idle ignorant
and worthless and we are sure that the loss
of such votes would be a great gain to De-
mocracy; it is this class that we have to
fear in a republican government. It it aa
axiom with us that the perpetuity of free
government depends upon the intelligence
and virtue of the people. We dfv anv
man to point ut to an iutelliger t industri
ous honest man who is not able to pay a
reasonable poll-tax. But one of the strang-
est features of this subject is that the Gran-
gers voted solidly against it wheo they are
the real parties to be benefited by such a
qualification.  It require but little fore-
sight to see that it would carry thousand
of dollar to the treasury that annually go
to tne insolvent list thereby lessening the
burden on tbe honest tax-paying farmers."
Since we are about to be forced by absurd
newspapers like this German publication
of Austin into the discussion of religious
and other like prejudices and opinions.
with which governments should have noth-

Pius deemed as good a Chnttian and once
the most eloquent preacher of bit time.
