'Austin March 10 1873
f TIiq voxed printing quostion be
ing disposed of at last after much
folly and oxponsivo delay und tho
Galveston and Houston frolic over
and repontad of tho august Legis-
lature of Texas havo now settled
down to steady work and on the
whole aro now doing vary well or
as thoy say after a certain intorost-
ing event in marriod lifo has hap-
ponod "us well as could bo oxpoct
od." No very important changes in
existing laws bearing heavy on
the popple have yet recoivod the
sanction of both Houses and the
Governor but. sovoral good bills
are under headway and thore is a
prospect in tho fullnoss of time
that tho prosont condition of things
will be much improved. You are
aware that tho bill repealing the
odious mill tut law 1 which was
rather too hastily and thoughtless
ly passed by the impationt '100111
bors was vetoed by tho Governor.
To day a now bilj very much im.
proving and modifying the old law
passed tho1 House and the chair-
man of tho Military Committoo
Anderson' of MoLollnnd Btated
that it Would rocoivo the Exooutivo
sanction. Tho Lord be praisod. if
not Davis. His Excellency it is
said got so happy nnd loving on
his Galveston trip that ho promis-
ed all sorts of friendly things and
Insisted that after all if the peo-
ple had only knowu him they
would have found out that ho was
vory much of their way of think-
ing i and that he diii not opprovo' of
a great deal that tho last Legisla-
ture had dono. Well ye shall soon
sco. Tho now election law will
soon be beforo him which the radi-
cal papers are calling on hinr to
voto and wo shall find out whothei1
tho GovornoV will livo up to his
champagne speoohos. Let us hope'
for the best.
I Strango to. say tho Amond-
mout to the Constitution
which recoivod qvoiL 22000 majori-
ty votes from tho poople of Texas
has not yet becom6 a part of the
supreme law. It wus very prompt-
ly passed by the Senate two inem-
bors only voting against it but in
the Houso it' has inot with unex

Much surpriao has boon manifest- .
od at tho strango report made by
Ireland and others of the special '
aommittoo appojntod in roferenoo
tp tho indebtedness of tbo State to
the International and Texas Pacil-
ie railroads. The general opinion .
seems to . be that tho report is not
nly bad law" woakly laid down -but
by the cour.so recommended by ;
the committee would bring dishon-1
or and serious injury to tho State.'
Railroad charters" where complied

stitution of thoUnitodStates.which
cannot be violatod at pleasure. Dut

up and say "stop this' it is all
wrong." But unless I greatly err
the poople will bay "go on it is
working very well." If we .can got
those groat lines of railroad by
giving alternate sections of land
thus fill up the Stato with pooplo
and bring capital among us with
which factories may be built and '
Texas made the proud empire of
the South let it be done; And by
all moans lot not the stain of ropa- .
diation bo put upon us.' From all
t can loam this inconsiderate atid
llladvisod ropett willmoet with
little favor by the Legislature. I
think its originators already doop-'
ly Vogrot that it was ever made.
About the last thing talked of
hero is the grossly unjust attaok
upon Ex-Governor Throokraorton
in ttie Houston Ago. In an arti-
olo hoadod "Those Subsidies" his
positiou on tho subject of railroads
is most shamefully misrepresented
aud his connection with the cor-
rupt legislation of the ; las t Legisla-
ture insinuated if not directly
charged. Gov. Throckmorton neods
no vindication' foi the 'readers of
tho Dallas Herald they all know
him trust him and love him. The
evidonco of this is tho unanimous
support ho received from all Nor-
thorn Texas at the Corsicann Con-
voution for Congressman for tho '
State at largo and where he would
havo been nominated but for com-
binations and trickery which I am
Sorry to say too often attend con-
ventioDB. It is a little curious that
this attack upon Gifv. Throcknior-'
ton should appear 'in a paper
avowedly edited by a man who
owes his liberation from the Bron- .
ham Jail to the Governor's efforts
in this behalf. Dut what bottor
could be expected from Don Mo-
Gary whose paper js issued from '
the'radical Union office at Hons-
ton and whose ohiof glory consists
in bad whisky and worse slang.
