The New York Conference.
A great need of our American poli-
lien is mi element corresponding to
what in known in French parliamentary
classification as the centre. An able,
vigilant, public-spirited, movable mi-
nority may serve a most wholesome
purpose in combating the errors or
corruptions of either party, by throw-
ing its weight on one side or the other,
as the circumstances of the moment
may suggest. Such a minority, if the
rule of the majority is palpably inefli
cicnt or corrupt,will not fail toaltractto
itself the most enlightened, independent
and conscientious members of that
party, anil finally shape the popular
mind for a change of administration.
15ut if a select number of political
floaters come together on the eve of a
great canvass and propose to dictate
candidates for both parties,or to oppose
both if the dictation is not accepted,
unless at the same lime they urge a
specific policy, broad as well as specific,
and covering all the exigencies of the
situation, their part in politics will ap-
pear narrow and trivial, perhaps fac-
tious and selfish, and they will be apt
to fall into contempt with the
people, and to reflect more or
less odium on any candidate
or parly to which they may adhere.
The distinguished gentlemen, Carl
Siliurz, Charles Francis Adams, Parke
Godwin, President Woolsey, and
others, who held the recent conference
iu New York with regard to the presi-
dential election, will be fortunate if
their political enterprise does not meet
with this fate. Mr. Adams sums up
the spirit of the conference by declar-
ing that he wants " financial reform,
honest government, and honest money,"
and by naming Secretary Bristow
as his first choice, and Governor
Tilden as his second choice, for
President. Why should Tilden and
Uristow stand in association, and
stand above all others, in the regards
of these fastidious politicians who at
present, says Mr. Scliurz, are on the
fence, and arc afraid to desccnd, be
cause of " the vast quantity of mud on
both sides of the fence? " Are there
not other honest men of ability and
prominence in both parties? For ex-
ample, is not ex-Gov. Allen, of Ohio,
or Gov. Hendricks, of Indiana, both
Democrats, just as honest as the
Democratic Governor of New York,
Samuel Tilden ? Laying aside
the question of personal honesty
as one in which merits are about equally
balanced between llristow aud Tilden,
the one Kcpublican, the other Demo-
crat, they are found with nothing in
common to commend them especially
to the New York Conference except
their strenuous advocacy of a hard
money currency system which blunt old
William Allen described as a "barren
ideal ity " invented to delude the people
in the interest or untaxed bondholders
and Eastern plutocrats. By implication,
William Allen and all others who want to
place rich and poor, creditors and debt-
ors, tax payers and tax-consumers, on
exactly the same footing with regard to
a solution of our very complex
currency problem, arc pronounced
destitute of moral principle, and eager
to inflict a great iniquity on a most
righteous class of persons through
means of " dishonest money." This is
too violent a theory. It overshoots the
mark. Such exaggeration almost al-
ways recoils to the discomfiture of its
authors. To l>c on the fencc, and
afraid to descend because of the mud
on both sides of the fence, is a nice
metaphor, questionless; and it is a posi-
tion which truly independent and dis-
interested voters may sometimes feel
constrained to occupy. But it is as
well to remember that if slimy and vo-
racious reptiles may crawl in the mud
on both sides of the fence, birds of prey
and of evil omen may sit upon the
fence. It was, indeed, somewhat such
a perch that Milton's Satan took when
he lit in the Garden of Eden.
Uisiior Howe presided over the Epis-
copal Convention in South Carolina,
which the other day rejected the appli-
cation of St. Mark's Church (colored)
for admission. He favored the appli-
cation, making quite a speech, toward
the close of which we find this vague
but noteworthy political hint: "Through
the world without, in the coming polit-
ical canvass, there is a roar like a tem-
pestuous sea, whose waters cast up mire
and dirt; yet this convention will be
like a lighthouse upon a rock, whose
light shall shine far and wide through-
out our State. Ye are the light of the
world; a city set on a hill can not be
hid. Let your light so shine before men
that they may see your good works and
glorify your Father who is in Heaven."
At the conclusion of the Bishop's ad-
dress, General Preston moved that the
Bishop invoke Divine guidance upon
the vote about to be taken, which was
done. The vote was then taken by
orders, and resulted as follows: Clergy
—Ayes, 17; nays, 0. Laity—Ayes, 12;
na\ . 17. The resolution to admit St.
M irk's was therefore declared lost, re-
quiring as it did a majority of both or-
ders for its p.issage.
The report of the House Committee
on Commerce, of which Hon. Frank
Hereford, of West Virginia, is 'liair
man, w i,-. submitted to Congress on tlu
10th. It was adopted by the very de-
risive vote of 171 to 50. This settles
d'finitely the appropriations already

Under the Shadow of the State
Capitol.
If our Austin correspondent is not
misinformed, a number of persons in
the vicinity of the State capital have re-
solved themselves into an unofficial
commission to pass upon questions of
medical malpractice. They have no
use for the State's laws or the State's
ofliccrs in trying culprits or assessing
and executing punishment. In the case
referred to by our correspondent, the
scntencc pronounced upon the con-
victed physician is instant exile,
or death by the most summary
process. It seems that the de-
fendant has demurred, denying juris-
diction, and, as if to crown a sublime
contempt for the laws and the civil au-
thorities, one of the State's law makers
is invited to arbitrate in the matter.
We trust that our correspondent has
been misinformed. Should it be other-
wise. we heartily join him in the hope
that there is not to be a Mason county
feud right under the shadow of the
Capitol, but not without misgiving--.
There is but one way to stop the spread
of these impulses to trample upon
the rights of individuals under the laws,
but one way to make tlu; protection of
the laws a fact, and not a mockery. It
is for the civil power of the State to be
a power indeed, a palpable presence to
good and bad alike, and resistless and
inexorable to crush out every form of
lawlessness. At present this is an in-
fection which threatens to become epi-
dcmic, and the assembled law-makers
at Austin can not too soon or too seri-
ously take in hand the -work of provid-
ing a remedy.
Appropriations for Tens.
The adoption of the report of the
House Committee on Commerce, with-
out amendment, secures to Texas all
that was cxpectcd, for which she is
duly grateful. For this desirable re-
sult we are obliged, in a great measure,
to the very able and efficient manage-
ment of the chairman of the committee,
Hon. Frank Hereford, of West Virginia,
who handled the matter as only an ac-
complished parliamentarian and liberal-
minded gentleman could have done.
Mr. Hereford will be a candidate for re-
election, and West Virginia can not
afford to lose his services. He is just
the man for the place, and Texas, as
well as his own constituents, will be
glad to see him returned to a position
upon which lie has reflected so much
credit. The whole Texas delegation
worked faithfully in support of the
measures recommended by the chair-
man of the Committee on Commerce,
but Judge Reagan appears to have given
extraordinary attention to the matter.
West Virginia has an exceptionally able
representation in Congress, among the
most distinguished of which is the hon-
orable gentleman already named, Mr.
Frank Hereford.

The Trustees of the Massachusetts 8ociety
for promoting Agriculture offer prizes for tree
culture to the amount of $3000.
Culture of timber is a subject worthy
of the attention of the Legislature of
Texas. For the encouragement of so
important an industry, it strikes us that
the State might wisely offer to individ-
uals a share, in some proportion, of our
public prairie lands on condition that
forests of certain valuable trees be
grown upon them; the time for fulfill-
ment of this condition to be reasonably
limited, and title to be Withheld until
the cultivation is accomplished.

a committee will lie sent to Huntsville

qualifications for jurors and mode of

nouumoiit to Tom Green - The
Penitentiary.
[Special Telegram to the Galveston News
Austin, May 17, 1870.
A movement to provide means for
the erection of a monument to the
memory of Gen. Tom Green has been
inaugurated. Mr. J. B. Wilkins. Sena
tor McLeary and Mr. Jas. II. Burts are
to prepare a plan of organization. Mem
bers of Green's division in Austin are
to meet next Monday to further organ-
ization, and members throughout the
State are expected to co-opcrate.
A joint consultation of the commit-
tees of the two Houses on the Peniten-
tiary has been held. A proposition to
send a sub-committee to Huntsville is
proposed. The committee members and
"egislators generally are exercised over
tlic proposition as to how not to do any-
thing with the penitentiary.
If the committee could, by a sub-com-
mittec whitewash or cover over the un-"
seemly hues of this legislative elephant,
it would dissipate the gravest appre-
hensions of tlic Legislature, and destroy
the iyost fear-inspiring bete noir of the
administration. The interest in the
uestion must be great to justify the ad-
dition to the committee of a gentleman
interested in the fulfillment of contracts
between the lessees and owners of farms
on which convicts are employed.
But the influence of fear is better
shown by the fact that the Governor ad-
vises the release of a large number of
convicts who have not escaped, through
a bill authorizing something in the shape
of an amnesty; and this in the face of
the general belief that the increase of
crime and disorder in Texas is owing
to the presence in the country of a large
number of escaped convicts. The com-
mittee, if it desires evidence as to the
existing prison system, by consulting
the report of Hon. Tillman Smith, At-,
torncy General Peeler and Hon. Dan.
Triplctt, will find every point fully cov-
ered.

Austin, May 17, 1870.
The Senate and House Joint Com-
mittee have agreed upon a bill, to be re-
ported to-morrow, to organize and
keep in running order the new County
Court system.
The Senate Judiciary Committee is
understood to be against the amend-
ment proposing to require the Supreme
mil Appellate Courts to sit at Austin,
San Antonio, Galveston, Dallas and
T3'ler. The old plan is considered
preferable, and if any change is made, it
would likely be to confine the sitting
to this city.

Considerable activity prevails among
Texas and Pacific officials, Col. Tom
Scott having ordered work to be com-

Eagle Ford and Fort Worth (30 miles)
and between Paris and Sherman (92
miles). D. W. Washburn, engineer in

let yesterday for ties and bridging for
82 miles, other contracts will be let at

ficient and are determined to complete
these gaps before the middle of August,
thus saving their charter.

broke into a store twelve miles wrest of

again ordered them to disperse. The
negroes defied him and fired on the
party. The fire was returned and a
sharp skirmish ensued. It is thought
twenty negroes were killed and several

The State Committee on Platform
will not agree to-day. Hard money
men seem in the majority. Thurman's
friends make the committee twelve hard
and eight soft money men.
A motion not to go back on the plat-
form of '75 caused excitement, and it
was finally decided that all resolutions
in the platform should be referred to a
platform committee.
Without debate, after appointing a
committee on credentials, adjourned to
2 o'clock.
The majority of the Committee on
Resolutions reported in favor of hard
money, but the report of a minority of
the committee, in favor of soft money,
was adopted by a vote of 300 to 300.
This is considered a victory for Gover-
nor Allen. The minority of the com-
mittee claimed that their report repre:
sented nine of twenty members of the
committee. It is as follows:
Resolced, That recognizing it the duty
of the Democratic party, a time honor-
ed champion of rights of the many
against the aggressions of the few, to
express its purposes in the pending cur-
rency conflict, without reserve or equiv-
ocation, wo declare that we shall urge,
against all opposition:
1. The immediate and unconditional
repeal of the Resumption law.
2. The defeat of all schemes of re-
sumption which involve contraction of
currency, perpetuation of bank issues,
or increase of the interest burden of
debt.
3. The gradual but early substitution
of legal tenders for national bank notes.
4. The issue by the general govern-
ment alone of all.circulating mediums,
whether paper or metallic.
5. No forced inflation; no forced con-
traction.
0. A gradual income tax to meet at
least the premium on gold needed to
pay interest on public debt.
Resolved, That public policy and a
sense of common justice require that
silver issued by the government should
be a legal tender in payment of all
debts, public or private, and wc de-
mand unconditional repeal of the so-
called silver act, so far as the same lim-
its tlie amount for which said silver
coinage shall lie a legal tender.
8. We are in favor of tariff for revenue
only; that, the Democrats of Ohio pre-
sent to the Democrats of other sover-
eign States of the Republic the name of
William Allen as the choice of Ohio for
the presidency; that the delegates at
large to the St. Louis convention, and
delegates appointed by Congressional
districts, are hereby requested, in the
national convention, to favor William
Allen for President and use all honor-
able means to secure his success.

but the delegates are understood to
favor Bristow. The other wing of the
party holds a convention on the 24th
inst. Most of the Federal officers ad-
here to it.
The committee on platform and reso-
lutions reported that, as faithful to the
principles of the Republican party, so
often announced by their authorized
exponents, they recommend the adop-
tion of the principles contained in and
disclosed by the address of the Repub-
lican National Committee.
Resolced, That in his seven years ad-
ministration of the government, Presi-
dent Grant has guided the republic
through the severest trials, and has
shown our institutions capable of sur-
viving equally the shock of armed con-
flict, partisan hate, and tlic great de-
moralization incident to all wars. But
most searchhing inquiries, prompted by
Democratic partisanship, have utterly
failed to exhibit a single instance where
President Grant has tarnished with his
pen the splendid triumphs of his sword.
Resolutions were adopted and the com-
mittee adjourned.

BItlSTOW BLACKBALLED.
Proposed Tor membership in the
New York Union League Club and
Rejected.
[From the New York Tribune, May 13.1
In the Union League Club, at the
regular monthly meeting on Thursday
night, there was a scene of excitement,
the cause of which made a sensation in
political circles, and intense indigna
tion among a large majority of the
members of the club. The name of
Secretary Bristow was proposed for
membership. When the result of the
vote on nominations was read, the ma-
jority of members, who had looked
upon Secretary Bristow's election to
membership as a mere mattei of
course, were astonished to find that
he had been blackballed, the vote
standing 118 in his favor to 12 against
him, and a rule of the club, providing
that if the negative votes are one tenth
in number of "the affirmative, they con-
stitute a ' black ball." Many friends
of Mr. Bristow did not vote, because
there was supposed to be no personal
or political feeling against him in the
club. The attendance was not large,
but fair. The excitement and indigna-
tion in the club for the remainder of
the evening was very great, and those
members who were the cause of it re-
mained aloof or wore a countenance of
interest and equanimity. It was as-
serted by the friends of Mr. Bristow
that the vote would be reconsidered
and he would be electcd at a subse-
quent meeting.
cok.7ectu11es about the cause.
[From tbe New York Sun.]
Some ascribed the blackballing to the
efforts of some of Senator Conkling's
friends, their purpose being said to be
to disgrace the Secretary. Others
thought it might have been a stroke of
vengeance at the hands of the " whisky
men" and administration Republicans.
Others saw personal malice or revenge
at the bottom of the blackballing.
An influential member of the club
said yesterday that he had not seen so
much excitement in the club-house for
a long time. For a few minutes
after the result of the ballot
was announced the members excit-
edly cried out that it was the work
of the custom-house people; but the
absurdity of this supposition soon be-
came apparent, and then they began to
cast about for some other explanation
of so surprising a vote, and before long
it began to lie whispered that the per-
sonal grief of a sugar refiner, upon
whose toes Bristow had officially trod-
den, had led to the unexpected black-
balling of the Secretary.
Tiie Japan Mail quotes the current
views of native casuists regarding Chris-
tianity as follows: You foreigners can
not surely claim that the Bible exercises
much influence over you. You are
commanded to be'tempcrate, sober and
chaste; to pay every man his due; to
bear no malice or false witness; not to
slander a neighbor; to do to others what
you would have others do to you, and,
a fortiori, not to do to others what you
would not have them do to you; you
are commanded not to curse or swear:
you are enjoined to be not only exact,
but punctual, in the discharge of all
money obligations; to do justicc, to love
mercy and to walk humbly. Many, if
not most of you fly straight in the face
of these commands; so that, if you are
superior to us, which, speaking without
prejudice, wc admit that you are, it docs
not arise from the special obedience you
pay to your religion or the ethical code
attached to it. _
