Primary Government in the States.
The common sense of the country
begins to manifest a decided dis-
gust with the feebleness of many
of our State governments in the
matter of internal police, and with
the lame excuses offered for the in-
efficiency of their civil authorities.
For example, to repeat a remark of
the New York Herald, " the coun-
try is becoming more and more dis-
satisfied with the Governor of South
Carolina for his failure to arrest
and bring to punishment the au-
thors of the massacre." When the
massacre occurred, what was to
prevent Gov. Chamberlain from
going to the spot, with a posse if
need be, and arresting every
one supposed to have had
guilty connection with it ? It
does not appear that any extraor-
dinary force would have been ne-
cessary. General Butler and his
comrades, so far from resisting the
civil authorities, invited arrest and
trial. But Governor Chamberlain
found it more convenient to fall
back upon the assumption that the
massacre was political, and that
crimes of this nature are not to be
reached by ordinary processes of
law. The truth is that such ineffi-
ciency for the maintenance of
peace and the execution of the
laws as Governors like Chamber-
lain and Kellogg have studiously
exhibited, has been cultivated
.•is a political necessity of their
party. It is a pity that failure to
vindicate the peace and dignity of
the State against lawlessness and
crime, through the proper agencies
of the State, should be found in
any State government adminis-
tered by men professing the Jeffer-
sonian doctrine of exclusive home
rule in the circle of home affairs.
It is certainly time for an enlight-
ened public opinion to assert the
true offices and the full power of
the States within their sphere. Un-
der our political system, the most
fundamental attributes and pur-
poses of government are in the
States. The primary and ne-
cessary functions of govern-
ment are to maintain the
peace, administer justice, pro-
tect liSo and property. The
first duty of any State's civil au-
thorities is to exercise these func-
tions diligently, fearlessly and ef-
fectually. Every instance in which
such authorities fail to secure the
people in the enjoyment of their
essential rights under the laws, is a
step towards the complete disloca-
tion of our political system, and
towards a widespread anarchy
which would be the prelude to an
absolute central despotism. We
have had so much noise and
confused clamor about the Federal
government that many persons
will be surprised, on reflection, to
understand how intimately the
State governments affect all the in-
terests of society. "A State gov-
ernment," to use the words of a
contemporary author, "has the
exclusive authority to maintain
peace and order within its limits;
to punish crimes, except those com-
mitted against the United States or
against the laws of nations; to ap-
point the police and maintain the
prisons; to regulate the tenure of
land and the rules of inheritance;
it has charge of education and the
public health; it creates and regu-
lates all corporations, such as rail-
road and insurance companies,
within its limits; it declares
who of ' its citizens shall
vote; it n»ay regulate the
sale of liquors and poisons, and
abolish nuisances. In all these
matters, and others of the same
kind, the State has jurisdiction to
the exclusion of the Federal gov-
ernment; and the Governor, the
State Courts, and the State Legis-
lature have .abundant power toper
form all their duties." And yet we
have had even public men in Texas
strenuously leaning to the theory
that it is for the glory of liberty, if
not for the good of society, that the
government of Texas should be dis-
tinguished for incoherency and in--
efficiency within the sphere of its ex
elusive authority. Such doctrine,
extended into policy, is next door
to civil annihilation. A State is
supposed to stand. But a State in-
capable of securing the most funda-
mental rights of citizens with re-
gard to life, property, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness, can have
no true civil standing. If it haa a
specious semblance of standing, it
is a sham and a delusion.
Zack Chandler, who has the man-
agement of the campaign on behalf of
llaycs and Wheeler, has issued instruc-
tions to tax all government clerks whose
salaries arc if 1200 and over at the rate
of twenty per cent., to form a fund for
campaign purposes. All clerks who
refuse to submit to the exaction are to
be peremptorily dismissed. Thus is in-
augurated Hayes's idea of reform.
A ukhom'tion was introduced in the
House of Representatives, by Mr.
Throckmorton, on the 8th instant, di-
recting the clerk to "pay toL. II. Fitz-
hn^b, lute Doorkeeper, :i sum of money
equal to the snlary of that office, from
May 'i- to August 1, IHIft." The reso
lution was relenfcd ?0 the Committee

Congressional Convention — Fifth
District.
The convention for nomination
of a Democratic candidate for Con
gress from the Fifth District of
Texas assembles at Austin to-mor
row, August 1(5, 187ti. The News
has made every endeavor to ascer-
tain the preferences of delegates,
the result of which is presented in
tabulated form below. Great care
has been exercised in arranging
the votes, and the table will, we feel
confident, be found substantially
correct. Wherever delegates have
been reported undecided or so di-
vided that the number for each
favorite could not be ascertained
they have been classed as
doubtful. Several counties have in-
structed for or expressed prefer-
ences for gentlemen who have not
been named in connection with the
position, or who have declined to
permit the use of their name. All
such delegates are placed among
the doubtful, at least for the first
ballot. Williamson county, with
fifteen votes, will compliment
Judge Terrell by supporting him
on first ballot, after which they are
understood to be for Hancock.
Brown, McCulloch and Coleman
are reported to favor the nomi-
nation of George I. Good-
wyn, with Hancock as next
choice. Milam's 23 votes are
reported as divided, with the
majority for Hancock. Colorado
county would vote for Col. R. V.
Cooke, but as he will not be before
the convention, the delegates will
probably divide between Finlay
and Shepherd, in proportion as ex-
pressed in recapitulation. Lavaca
is conceded to be divided between
Finlay and Shepherd. Galveston
county is understood to be for Fin-
lay with the whole 34 votes until
the nomination of their favorite be-
comes evidently impossible, when
they will change for Hancock and
Shepherd, with Hancock in the
lead. The single vote of Wharton
county will probably go with the
Brazoria vote and be cast for Han-
cock. We annex tabulated state-
ment, and recapitulation, after
complimentary votes have been
cast.

That the above figures are ap-
proximately correct there is little
doubt, but beyond this point all
would be conjecture, and the News
proposes to deal with facts as far
as possible in estimating the
chances of nomination.
Gov. Coke's Sheriffs' bill veto
takes ground against the general
idea that lawlessness and crime
prevail in Texas. He has officially
declared otherwise by approving
another bill passed at the present
session.
On record in the Secretary of
State's office is the act to suppress
lawlessness and crime, known as
the McNelly bill by the public. It
concludes with these words:
Section 9. That the fact of the exist-
ence of bands of lawless men in coun-
ties of this State; of their having pre-
vented the execution of the laws, and
placed the good people in various coun-
ties in continual fear of the commission
of outrages upon their persons and
property, constitute* a public necessity
and emergency that this act take effect,
and it is hereby declared that the same
go into effect and be in force from and
after its passage.
Approved July 22, 1876.
(Signed) Ricn.uid Coke.
The act appropriates forty thou-
sand dollars. It constitutes offi-
cers and privates of McNelly's
company peace officers to aid the
civil authorities, with authority to
make arrests, etc. It does not pro
vide that they shall wait to be
called on by the Governor to act,
but of their own motion may aid
the civil authorities in the execu
tion of the laws; and yet the Gov
ernor does not want the sheriffs to
have power to call out the mili
tary. The military may volunteer
to help the civil authority, but it is
dangerous to allow the sheriff to
ask and require the military to aid
him.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Austin, August 14, 1876.
Senate bill to encourage construction

sidered. Sir. McComb offered an
amendment striking out the 4th section,
which prohibited granting of lands in
counties already having a railroad.

ject substituted for it. It provides for
the election or appointment of an in-
spector of hides and animals in every

(sixty-four) of counties from operation
of the act. It provides, however, for
inspection of stock about, to be driven
or shipped out of the State in counties
bordering on lines of the State.
So many counties are exempted that
Mr. Shaw moved to exempt all in the
State. Lost.

ing it a misdemeanor, punishable by
a line of from $25 to $200, for any per-
son to have in his possession, without
the consent of the owner, cattle with

ured prima facie exidence of guilt.
Both amendments lost.
Sheep, hogs and goats were exempted,
on motion of Mr. Moses, from the pro-

' providing for

nies, and also the portion making a dif-
ference between goods manufactured in
and those manufactured outside of the
State, because provided for in the bill,
and because the latter was in conflict
with a decision of the United States
Supreme Court. Amendment accepted
by Mr. Campbell.
Mr. Campbell advocated occupation
tax as absolutely necessary. Messrs.
Watson and Hutchins opposed. Con-
sideration of the bill was postponed, to
take up Judiciary Committee report on
supplemental jury bill, introduced this
morning, the report being favorable.
The rules were suspended and the bill
passed.
Tax bill resumed.
Mr. Downs argued earnestly against
amendments; Messrs. Lang and Camp-
bell made arguments in favor of amend-
ments, contending for uniformity in
taxation.
Mr. Watson followed in opposition,
devoting special attention to the ques-
tion of uniformity, maintaining that an
occupation tax gave anything but uni-
formity in taxation.
Mr. Watson also opposed occupation
tax. He sent up an amendment, which
was ruled out of order, taxing nearly
everybody left wit of the bill—among
others grangers $10.
Mr. Baker moved the previous ques-
tion on adoption of the amendment.

A Reign of Xerror from Lawless-

Last of a Series of Horrors.
[Special Telegram to the Galveston News.~\
Austin, Aug. 14, 1876.
In Llano county last week at a farm
house, two women, one 83 years old
and the other a young married woman,
were murdered—beat to death with
stones. A child 4 years old in the house
could give no particulars. A hundred
men (drovers) were camped in half a
mile of the place, Mexicans, negroes
and white men, in parties of five to
ten.
The gentleman who relates the cir-
cumstance is perfectly reliable. He
says the inquest was not attended by
the county attorney, or any lawyer,
though notified. In that county, and
others in the District, murders are fre-
quent ; in one there having been twen-
ty-seven in little over a year, and in an-
other fourteen in a year.
Emigrants are coming in rapidly, but
such a reign of terror exists that if
some remedy is not had they wiH teuve
as fast as they come.
He thinks the election of good dis-
trict attorneys and judges would be ad-
vantageous.

Horses Taken Near McKavett—Es-

[Specia1 T'Mqram to the Galveston News.]
Fort McKavett, Aug. 14, 1876.
Fifteen head of horses were stolen
near here last night by Indians, or white
thieves. They abandoned one pony
said to belong to a man near Camp Col-
orado. They are supposed to have a
large number of horses, judging by the
trail, which runs northeast. Parties are
in pursuit.
The cavalry scout that left this post
to intercept the Indians that were in the
vicinity of Uvalde returned yesterday
without having overtaken the Indians.
A scout is out from Concho after the
same part}- of Indians, but has not re-
turned yet,
CROOK'S CAMPAIGN.
Helena, Montana, August 14.—The
Independent's Boseman (Montana) spe-
cial of August 12, says: "A Sioux
squaw came into the Crow camp with
reports of a terrible battle between Gen.
Crook and the Indians. She states that
Gen. Crook lias almost annihilated the
Sioux, and has the remainder in such a
position as to force their surrender.
The parties that bring this news from
the Crow Agency may have greatly ex-
aggerated the story, if it is not entirely
false."
Washington, August 14.—By in-
quiry at army headquarters to-day it is
ascertained that nothing whatever has
been received confirmatory of the re-
port of the squaw.
Chicago, August 14.-—R. Williams,
Assistant Adjutant General of Omaha,
telegraphs to Gen. Sheridan's headquar-
ters here that the following dispatch
has just been received by him:
Wyoming, August 14.—The report of
Gen. Terry's fight with Sitting Bull is
confirmed through Indians coming into
Spotted Tail Agency. They report a
heavy engagement, the defeat of the In-
dians, and Sitting Bull wounded.

It is proper to say the accuracy of the

London, August 14.—The Queen held
a Council, Saturday night, at Osborne,
and Disraeli took the oath of office as
Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal. There
were no demonstrations.
Manchester, August 14.—The Guar-
dian's London dispatch says Mr. Dis-
raeli's acceptance of the Privy Seal has
occasioned as much surprise as his ele-
vation to a peerage. The object is to
secure him a post to fall back on, if it

Edinburgh, August 14.—The Scots
man says a trustworthy correspondent
informs us Mr. Disraeli's elevation to
the peerage is the first step towards his
resignation of the Premiership, not now,
but before the beginning of next ses-
sion. Earl Derby is mentioned as the
new Premier.
BAYREUTH.
Success of tlie Great Musical Per-
formance in Bavaria.
Bayreuth, Aug. 14.—The perform-
ance of the Walkuren began at 4 p. m.
and ended at 9.30, with intervals of an
hour between acts. This representation
made a greater impression than even
Reingoldt. The first act produced a
profound sensation, and at the close of
the opera the scenic effect, when the
entire background of the stage was
filled with a sea of ice, was wonderful.
Tlie enthusiasm of the audience could
not be restrained, and the performance
was repeatedly interrupted by bursts of
applause. At the end the leading per-
formers were loudly called for, but de-
clined to respond before the custain.

there being no prospect of adjournment,
the party dispersed.
The chief signal officer of tlie Navy
has just completed, and the Depart-
ment has just published, the latest edi-
tion of navy signals. The system has
been entirely remodeled and, as now
constructed, is considered by Commo-
dores Ammen and Shufeldt, and other
competent and experienced naval offi-
cers, the most perfect code in existence.
The signals are so constructed that even
if the code should fall in the hands of
an enemy, in time of war, the enemy
would be unable to read a message sent
by our naval officers.
The Judiciary Committee of the
House have retained W. H. Trescott,
Assistant Secretary of State under Mr.
Buchanan; Hon. Wm. M. Merry, for-
merly member of Congress, and Ilenry

Wise, of Virginia, to defend Speaker
Kerr and others in the suit brought by
Hallett Kilbourn for false imprison-

Reducing the Diplomatic Forcc.
Wasiungton, August 13.—The diplo-
matic bill abolishes the missions in Por-
tugal, Switzerland, Ecuador, Columbia,
Paraguay and Uraguay, Greece and Den-
mark. The bill provides for charge des
affairs to represent the United States in
Portugal, Switzerland, Greece and Par-
aguay, at annual salaries of $5000 each.

ham, Cypress, Bucharest, Milan, Turk's
Island, Hakadijo and Windsor, Canada.
Congressional Proceedings.
The Senate discussed the proposed
constitutional amendment prohibiting
appropriations for sectarian schools
during the morning hour. It was then
laid over. —
The concurrent resolutions passed by
the House, for a commission of three
Senators and three Representatives to
devise a government for the District of
Columbia, was adopted.
Mr. Boutwcll offered a resolution to
pay a clerk for indexing his Mississippi
report. Adopted.
The school amendment was taken up
by a vote of 23 to 13, and discussed to
the close of the morning hour, when it
went over.
The Hawaiian Treaty was resumed,
and Mr. Norwood concluded his
specch. In conclusion, he said the
effect of this bill would be to give to
the Hawaiian Islands a bonus of a mil-
lion dollars a year, and would increase
the difficulties in the way of the islands
being acquired by the United States.
He argued that the Chinese upon the
islands were increasing; the Coolie
labor was increasing, and, suppose the
United States should acquire them, it
would only get a race of Chinese,
Coolies and half-breeds. The people of
his section were more interested in the
defeat of this bill than all of the Uuited
States besides. To take off the duty on
rice would be to dimish its price below
the cost of production in the country,
and 300,000 people were dependent
upon the production of rice in South
Carolina, Georgia and Louisiana, and
the interests of all these people would
be injured by the passage of this bill.
Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, spoke
against the treaty, Mr Logan supported
it, and Mr Boutwell also.
Mr. Gordon said it was his purpose to
have spoken at some length, but he was
physically unable to do so. He pro-
tested against the passage of a law to
carry into effect a treaty so partial in
its operation and so unjust to a number
of the people of one section of this
country. One objection which existed
against this measure was a matter of
policy and another a matter of princi-
ple. It aimed a death blow at the inter-
ests of one section of this country and
was of doubtful constitutional propriety
and therefore should be rejected. He
knew the Southern rice and su-
gar planters, and no people on
the continent were more capa-
ble of self-sacrificing patriotism
than they were. They were in favor of
free trade but, was it surprising that
they opposed a bill which proposed to
single out of all our productions those
two upon which they solely depended?
It was not just, and, begging the par-
don of the overwhelming majority of
this Senate, which thought proper to
force on his section the measure, he
must say it was not consistent with that
equality guaranteed not only by the
constitution but by the formation of
the American Union. Much less was it
just to try this experiment on a people
who by the vicissitudes of war had
been made poorer than any other peo-
ple were ever before.
After further argument he moved to
postpone the bill to the second Tuesday
in November. Rejected. It was then
read a third time and passed—yeas 29,
nays 12, as follows:
Yeas—Messrs. Allison, Anthony,
Boutwell, Burnside, Cameron (Wis.),
Christiancy, Cragin, Dawes, Eaton,
Ferry, Fr'elinghuysen, Harvey, Jones
(Nev.) Kellv, Kernan, Logan, McDon-
ald, McMillan, Mitchell, Morton, Ogles-
by, Paddock, Randolp, Sargent, Sauls
bury. Spencer, Stentrom, Wadleigh and
Window—29.
Nays—Messrs. Bogy, Booth, Cooper,
Cockrell, Davis, Jones (Florida,) Key,
Morrill, Norwood, Patterson, West and
Whyte—12.
Messrs. Edmunds, Robertson, Gor-
don, McCreery and Wethers also would
have voted against the bill, but were
paired with Conkling, Hitchcock, Bar-
num, Wright and Clayton, who would
have voted for it.
Mr. Spencer offered a resolution pro-
posing a committee to investigate tlie
election in Alabama. Several Senators
objected and it went over. Recess.
The Senate has been engaged all the
night session, discussiug the proposed
amendment to the constitution, pro-
hibiting appropriation of money for
support of sectarian schools.
house.
Washington, August 14. — Henry
Watterson, from Kentucky, was seated.
The Post-route bill, amended by the
Senate to restore fast mails and frank-
ing privilege, was referred to Commit-
tee on Post-offices and Post-roads. The
reference is considered fatal to the bill,
as the House can not reach it this ses-
sion, and the bill can only come up by
a two-thirds vote.
Messrs. Singleton and Schleicher
spoke this morning.
Mr. Randall made a great speech,
speaking, as he said, to the twelve ap-
propriation bills and the Republican
party. Mr. Randall, in his speech, gave
the following figures of the twelve
great appropriation bills.
The estimates of the departments for
the year were $203,099,025. ''
The bills as reported by the Com-
mittee on Apropriations, allowed $137,-
233,155. The bills as passed by the
House, $138,752,340.
The bills as passed by the Senate,
$158,260,598.
The bills as enacted into laws, $147,-
719,074, as against appropriations for
last year of $177,003,327—being a re-
duction of $29,944,253.
Mr. Banning, of Ohio, of Committee
on Milit iry Affairs, asked leave to re-
port back Senate bill providing that the
cavalry forces now engaged against the
Sioux be increased 2500 men.
Mr. Cox, of New York, objected.
The Speaker laid before the House a
message from the President in regard
to the Biver and Harbor bill, stating
that if it had been Compulsory on him
to expend the money therein appropri-
ated, lie would have vetoed it, but that
as it was not, he would take care that
no public money be expended on use-
less works or upon any that were not
clearly national. The measure created
quite a sensation.
Mr. Reagan, of Texas, immediately
arose and moved its reference to Com-
mittee on Commerce, of which he is a
member, and from which the bill had
been originally reported. He criticised
the President for assuming that his per-
sonal judgment and discretion were to
determine how far the appropriations in
the bill were to be applied to the ob-
jects defined, and characterized it as an
act of personal government. The mes-
sage was a document of so remarkable
a character that he (Reagan) regarded it
as so great a departure from the consti-
tution, so singular an avowal in advance
of the President's determination not to
obey the law, he thought the people's
Representatives should not permit such
a message to come before them without
some expression of dissent.
Mr. Hereford, of West Virginia,
Chairman of the Committee on Com-
merce, condemned the message severely,
regarding it. as in keeping with the
President's idea expressed after the
Franco-German war, that there was a
strong similarity between the American
Republic and the German Empire. The
President had announced in plain
language that he intended to set at
naught, and nullify the will of the
American Congress. What right had
the great Czar to decide what were and
what were not national works? He
favored the proposed reference of the
message.
Mr. Kasson, of Iowa, defended the
position taken by the President. He
admitted that if the bill bad directed
the President to spend a certain amount
on each work specified in the bill, then
the President proposed to violate the
constitution; but the language of the
bill wis not mandatory. It simply ap-
propriated a maximum sum for these
objects and nowhere directed the Presi-
dent to spend any particular amount on
any particular works. The message
was referred. Recess.
^House still in session at 11 o'clock,
p. m. , but restive.
Mr. Banks has made a speech in favor
of Mr. Bland's silver bill. No business
of importance has been transacted.
Mr. Banning again endeavored to get
up the army bill, but met objection.
THE FIRE RECORD.
Street Railway Stables With Fifty
Horses Burned at Indianapolis.
Indianapolis, August 14.—The sta-
bles and car-house of the Citizens'

CUBA.
Another Horror of the Chronic In-
surrection.
Havana, (via Key West,) August 14.
—On the 1st inst. sixty insurgents at-
tacked Fort Jacques, in the jurisdiction
of Cienftiegos. They captured four
men outside packing provisions. The
garrison, consisting of fourteen men,
were burned with the fort, which tlie
insurgents fired.
The Insurgent Chief Reeves, alias
El Inglesto, killed on the 4th, was an

dan as Orderly. General Ryan made
bim Lieutenant of Cavalry. He was

Spaniards.

taining officers of the road, was switched
off at Vincennes and the switch spiked.

police, who were driven across the Wa-
bash into Illinois. _
