Tremont Opera House.
A large and appreciative audience as-
sembled at the Opera House last even-
ing to witness the brilliant society
drama of •• Saratoga" as performed by
the Fifth Avenue Company.
The drama is a new one to this city,
being tin1 tlrst time it lias Ik'Cii pro-
duced here, and the decided success it
met with causes a regret that the close
of the engagement of the troupe here
.lenders it impossible for them to give it
another representation.
Hie plot of the drama is very slight.
Hubert Saekett, a young lawyer of
a romantic turn of mind, falls in love
w ith a number of ladies of his acquaint-
ance, and proposes to and is accepted
by them all. but an exposal follows by
his accidentally coming upon a picnic
party while he is out gunning. The
ladies are justly enraged, and demand
of their gentlemen friends that they
each challenge the recreant lover, and
is lie accepts all tiie challenges, they
repent at the last moment and go to
his room to intercede for their friends.
One only—" Kflle Remington"—re-
mains true to the wayward young law-
yer, and after a very amusing denoue-
ment the curtain fell amid the general
happiness of all parties.
The acting was very tine, all were
well up in their parts, and appeared to
the best advantage.
Mr. Owen Fawcctt gave an admirable
rendition of the lover-lawyer, " Ilohcrt
Saekett," and Mr. James M. Hardie ex-
celled all of his previous efforts as
• Mr. Benedict."
Mr. F. M. Chapman gave an odmira
hie rendition of an old man in the char-
acter of "Mr. Carter." The two fops
— "Sir Mortimer Muttonly" and "Cor-
nelius Weather!rec"—were very accept-
ably represented by Messrs. I!. F. King-
gold and George Devcre.
Miss Sara Jcwett. as " Kllle Iteming
ton," won great applause, as ilid Miss
May Nunez, a- " Lucy Carter," Miss
Nellie Mortimer, as "Olivia Allston,"
and Miss Fannie Francis, as " Vir-
ginia Vandcrpool." The others of the
troupe all did well, and the frequent
peals of laughter of the audience, as
the various comical situations were de-
veloped, showed how thoroughly tlfosc
present entered into the enjoyment of
the evening's entertainment.
With the matinee performance to-day
the engagement of the troupe closes, as
they leave after the conclusion of the
representation of the "Two Orphans"
tbis afternoon.

INQIEST COXCLIDKD.
ClreiiinMniiccK or llic Killing of tlie
nimi heretofore Reported ax Hav-
ing been Hun over by a Train on
tlie Bridge.
The inquest on the body of the young
mar> who was killed on the railroac"
briiige last Friday, was concluded yes
tertWy morning.
Tlie following is the evidence, a*
given at the inquest held by Coroner It
D. Johnson:
A. A. Pinknton, being sworn, said: I
am fireman on an engine belonging to
the Galveston, Houston and Henderson
Railroad Company. The train left Gal-
veston on Friday. Dec. 01, and when
we arrived at the bridge I saw some
fishermen sitting there, some four hun-
dred yards from this end of the bridge,
and near the men saw something lying
on the track, which I supposed was
their coats. We made no effort to stop
the train till we approached near to the
fishermen, who were sitting on the end
of the cross ties near the track,'when,
from what we supposed was but a
bundle of clothes, we saw a man raise
his head. We were then about thirty
or forty feet distant from him. We
then did all in our power to stop the
train, but were so close that it was im-
possible to do so. This was about half
past one o'clock in the afternoon. The
man endeavored to get off the track,
Imt could not do so in time, and the
train passed over him. We would not
have stopped at all if tlie man hadn't
raised lii < head.
A. M. Kr.yle, being sworn, said: I was
running the engine at tlie time of the
accident; it was about 2 p. m. After
getting on the bridge I saw something
lying on the track. I thought it wfts the
coats of the men who were fishing on
the bridge at that point. We did not
discover there was a man on the track
until we were about the length of a car
from him. I did all tliai I could to
stop the train as soon as I made the dis-
covery, but it was impossible to do so,
and the train ran over tnc body. I do
not know his name and never saw him
before.
11. .1. being sworn, said: I was
on the Gulf. Colorada and Santa Fe
Railroad bridge at the time of the acci-
dent. I was about eight hundred yards
from the place where the accident oc-
curred This was about 2 p. M Heard
the whistle to put on brakes; thought
sometlitng 1iq<1 occurred, and ran im-
mediately to the spot; saw a man's hat
floatin« on the water, and recovered it.
Then got a boat to look for the body,
but did not find it. If the man who
was killed had remained still, and had
lain flat between the rails, the train
would have passed over him without
doing him any injury.
Powell Vottz testified to finding the
body of the deceased several days ago,
near the place of the accident.
Dr. Qrteitrille Dmrell testified to the
injuries received by the deceased, and
that they were such as to produce almost
instant death.
After deliberating on the evidence,
the jury rendered the following verdict:
"We the jury find that the deceased
came to his death while lying on the
track of the Galveston, Houston and
Henderson Railroad, by being run over
by engine No. 1:}, in charge of A. M.
Engle, engineer, and L. A. Pinkston,
fireman, on the "1st of December, 1875."

The approaching election for Chief
Engineer of the Fire Department and
three assistants is just now occupying the
attention of the tire fighters. The elec-
tion takes place on the third Monday in
this month, at the hall of Hook and
Ladder Company No. 1. The candi-
dates mentioned for the office of Chief
Engineer thus far. are V. J. Baulard,
Martin Davey, J. V. Riley and Louis
Falkenthal.
Howard's alley, in the region of Ave-
nue A and Tenth street, is enjoying a
new sensation in the way of a wife
beating case. Joe Johnson, a colored
mantis said to have beaten his partner,
Louise, several times of late, and, more-
over, locks the damsel up while he goes
off. Mary Bass is a friend of Louise,
and it is due to her efforts that Joe was
placed under the eye of the law.
The weather vane over the market-
house needs the attention of tlie city
weather clerk. The vane does not in-
terpret the points of the compass prop-
erly. The north point is too much
west, and consequently the other three
points are out. This lias been the con-
lition of the vane since the storm, and
lias been the cause of much prevarica-
tion on the part of those who, taking a
look at the old, familiar sign, circulated
reports that the wind was north when
it was west.
A gentleman in this city has received
from one of the officers of the Denver
and Colorado Railroad Company a letter
dated at their office in Philadelphia,
making inquiries concerning the com-
mercial and harbor prospects and ad-
vantages of this port. «\.mong the
questions asked are: What the tonnage
of vessels arrived here during the four
years past; what the value of merchan-
dise brought in during that period, and
what rates of freight exist between this
itv and Havana and Liverpool. This is
only one of many instances in which
the attention of enterprising strangers
is directed this way.
The walls of the brick building goin
up at the corner of Strand and Twenty-
First streets have almost reached the
second floor.
The building at Church and Twenty
First street, formerly occupied as i
livery stable, is bekig raised and the
foundation filled to grade.
Those accustomed to seeing colored
men in deliberative bodies can hardly
realize the fact that there is not a single
colored man in the Democratic Conven
tion.
The little folks' concert, at St.
James Church last night, was, as be-
fore, a creditable success. Several of
the choruses were very sweetly ren
dered.

The city was unusually quiet yester
day and last night; but three arrest
were made during the day and evening
up to midnight, and they only for minor
offenses.
It is doubtful if so many people were
ever in the city at any one time before
when there was so little disturbance as
there has been during the past week.

About twenty of the delegates of the
Nineteenth Senatorial District assem-
bled at the Courthouse last evening, at
7 o'clock, pursuant to the call of the
chairman, to nominate the district offi-
cers under the provisions of the new
constitution.
On motion of Major Frank M. Spen-
cer, Col. D. (Stone was appointed
temporary chairman. Col. Stone then
stated that the night session of the State
Convention was about to be held, and
the small number present rendered it
advisable that ait adjournment should
lie had to some future time.
Major Spencer moved that the con-
vention adjourn to this morning at 10
o'clock.
Major O. M. Watkins then suggested
as an amendment that the time of meet-
ing be fixed at 4 p. M. to enable the
delegates to attend the funeral honors
of Gen. Magruder. which amendment
I icing accepted, the convention was ad-
journed fo 4 P. M. to-day at the court-

Joseph Johnson was brought before
flic rail yesterday morning on the charge
of using more force tlwm was necessary
in convincing his affinity, Louisa John-
son, that his views on general topics
were correct. Louisa herself made no
complaint, nor would she sign an affi-
davit against Joseph, but a friend, one
Mary Bass, made the necessary oath
and further swore at the trial tliat the
sable Lothario is in the habit of using a
rope in preserving order in the house-
hold, striking submissive Louisa on the
back and head with this instrument of
torture until he had satisfied his savage
nature. This being proved to the satis-
faction of his Honor, he forthwith im-
posed a fine of fifty dollars and costs or
fifteen days imprisonment, and the fur-
ther precaution of a peace bond for one
year in the sum of $250, and in default
of giving such bond to be imprisoned
for fifteen days additional. Joseph will,
in any event be kept in custody for
thirty days, or else will be under bonds
for a sufficient length of time to enable
his victim to have a V-liancu to recover
from his past ill-treatment
Two offenders were jointly charged
with lighting, but the evidence show-
ing that one was but protecting the
honor of ftjs family, he was discharged,
while the other was fined ten dollars
and costs, which he paid.
William Henuey, Tlios. McFarland,
Henry Hunt, W. J. Houston, James
Leture, II. lleddcn, John Brown, F. B.
Ward am^ William Mack, all charged
with vagrancy, were called up, and the
evidence showing tliey had sought in
an old barn tlmt shelter Which they
were refused at the police station, they
were required to give a peace bond in
the sum of fifty dollars, or be imprison
t^Cor three days.
STATE CASES.
The State vs. Edward Dauget, charged
with burglary, will be tried this morn-
ing.
The State vs. Thomas Skinner, a negro
boy who. though under age. seems to
have developed a remarkable precocity
in crime, will also be examined this
morning on the charge of theft. His
age will in all probability be urged as a
n a-on for turning him loose to prey on
priv ate property again.
The largest workshop of the body is
the Liver, whose office it is to withdraw
the bile from the blood; when this im-
portant organ does not act the skin as-
sumes a yellow appearance, and gen-
rally a sick headache sets in, with
hilly sensations, and cold hands and
feet, accompanied with loss of apetite.
The system becomes clogged, the ma-
liincry does not work well, and both
mind and body arc disordered, the
iifflicted becoming cross and fretful,
finding fault with everything around
them. To any person in this condition
Dr. D. .Taync's Sanative Pills are re-
commended; by their stimulating action
the Liver soon recovers its healthy tone,
and is enabled to perform its proper
functions. Costiveness is cured, and
ill the aggravating symptons of bilious-
ness removed.
The new style of scale which has at-
tracted the attention of the convention
for two days, and upon which over a
thousand persons, including the con-
vention, have been weighed, can be
seen for a few days at 127 Strand. Also
the new style of cotton truck as ex-
hibited bv Samuel Pillsbury, General
Agent.
Ax unusual opportunity is offered by
L. Rouvant, No. 113 Market street, to
secure watches and jewelry at regular
New York prices. His assortment of
watches is excellent, and. being a
"practical watchmaker," he will keep
none but the best. His prices for both
watches and jewelry are fully twenty-
five per cent. lower than elsewhere,

Caution to Housekeepers.—Owing
to the increasing cost of vanilla beans
used in the manufacture of Extract
Vanilla, spurious compounds are being
thrown upon the market, purporting to
be pure vanilla, but prepared princi-
pally from Tonqua beans. This nause
at ing substitute costs the manufacturer
less than one-twentieth part as much
as the genuine vanilla bean. It can
readily be detected by its odor. It
is used principally by tobacconists for
perfuming snuff and cigars, and was
never intended to be used as a flavoring
for the various compounds prepared for
the human stomach. Burnett's Extract
Vanilla is prepared from selected vanilla
beans, and is warranted entirely free
from Tonqua or other deleterious sub-
stances.

Political.
Col. Forney says Minister Wasliburne
is as anxious for the presidential prize
as ladies of a certain age are for hus-
bands. And the people of this country-
are equally anxious to hear J. W. F.
explain that little matter of $25,000.
The Cincinnati Enguirer says: " Gen.
Ewing in his first speech in the Ohio
canvass demanded the repeal of the Re-
sumption Act. The Ohio Democracy
stood on that platform. The hard
money organs of the country are now-
beginning to face the music. The De-
mocracy of Ohio have only to wait—
have only to remain true to them-
selves—to secure ample vindication at
the hands of the country."
The Cincinnati Enquirer is dead
against the proposed tax on tea and
Coffee, and suggests an income tax in-
stead. The latter, it contends, would
reach the rich. . A tax on tea and coffee
reaches all alike; so does a tax on
blankets, upon clothing, and even
household furniture. The man with
nothing who uses them pays, perhaps,
as much towards the support of gov-
'ernment as one who has hundreds of
thousands of dollars.
The Indianapolis Journal, Senator
Morton's organ, has this to say of
the Resumption Act: "The Journal
is in favor of the repeal of the so-called
Resumption Act with the least possible
delay. As a practical question it is
absolutely certain that neither the gov-
ernment "nor the people can resume
specie on the 1st of January, 1879.
Without at this time elaborating the
question it is enough to say that the
common sense of the whole country
perceivcs tlie utter impossibility of re-
suming at that time. Why, then, con-
tinue mi act which everybody knows
can not be carried into effect, and
which is operating so injuriously on
business?"
A letter written to the President by
ex-Senator Revels, of Mississippi, the
first negro who ever sat in the United
States Senate, says: '' My people are
naturally Republicans, but as they grow
older in freedom so do they in wisdom.
A great portion of them have learned
that they were being used as mere tools,
and, as in the late election, not being
able to correct the existing evil among
themselves, they determined by casting
their ballots against these unprincipled
adventurers to overthrow them. My
people have been told by these schemers
when men were placed upon the ticket
who were notoriously corrupt and dis-
honest, that they must vote for them;
that the salvation of the party depended
upon it; that the man who scratched a
ticket was not a Republican. This is
only one of the many means these ma-
lignant demagogues have devised to
perpetuate the intellectual bondage of
my people. To defeat this policy at the
late election men, irrespective of race or
party affiliation, united and voted to-
gether against men known to be in-
competent aLd dishonest."

Resolved, That the thanks of this con-
vention be extended to the proprietors

Mr. Chilton, of Smith, introduced
the following:
Resolved, That this convention, in an-
ticipation of the reintroduction into the
National Congress of the bill known as
the West bill, in aid of the Texas Pa-
cific road, do most earnestly protest
against the passage of the sume in its
present shape, and with provisions
therein injuriously discriminating
against the interests of Texas and in
favor of the cities of St. Louis, Mo.,
and New Orleans, La.; and we, as the
jeprcscntatives of the Democratic peo-
ple of every portion of the State, re-
spectfully ask our Senators and Repre-
sentatives to withhold their support, in
any shape or form, from said bill, if
presented as above indicated.
2. Believing that Texas has already con-
tributed more material aid to said enter-
prise than any other State along its pro-
posed route, we deem it bu^ just and
right that any bill proposing to secure
national aid thereto should be so shaped
as to give to the people and interests of
Texas a fair share of the benefits re-
sulting therefrom, and we urge our
Senators and Representatives to secure
in said bill the acknowledgment of a
route leading from tlie main trunk of
said road, through the State to the city
of Galveston as its Gulf terminus.
3. If this fair arrangement can not
be accorded to our State by the friends
of the bill, we emphatically demand
that our Senators and Representatives
lop off from said bill the proposed de-
flective routes to St. Louis and New-
Orleans, thus leaving the route, as origi-
nally designed, a grand trunk railway.
Adopted,
Motion was made to reconsider, but
action was postponed, and finally dis-
posed of at a later hour.
report of the committee of ten.
To the Citizens of Galveston:
The Democratic party of the State of
Texas, in convention assembled, beg
leave to tender to you their heartfelt
thanks for the kind welcome and the
unbounded hospitality which you have
extended to them.
The jcindness with which we have
been treated individually, as well as in
our collective capacity, by the official
representatives and by the private citi-
zens of Galveston, was no more than
what we expected from your hands,
judging, as we did, from tlie many ex-
hibitions of your hospitality in the past,
extended to" all, strangers as well as
Texans, who have been the guests of
your city and its citizens.
As Texans, we are proud of our com-
mercial metropolis, and as Democrats,
we are proud of the political influence
which Galveston wields in the councils
of the State.
Before closing our deliberations, we
reiterate our heartfelt thanks and sin-
cere acknowledgments to you all for
your liberality toward this convention
and its members.

PLATFORM.
Tlie Committee on Platform and
Resolutions made the following report:
We, the Democracy, in convention
assembled, hereby declare our princi-
ples and policy and ask for them the
popular approval:
1. We reaffirm our faith in the prin-
ciples of the Democratic part}' as here-
tofore enunciated by our State Conven-
tions; and congratulate the people upon
the faithful redemption of all the
pledges upon which the Democratic
partv was recently placed in power in
Texas, and point to the honesty and ef-
ficiency of our present State adminis-
tration as a guarantee of our continued
fidelity to the interests of the State and
people.
2. The Democratic party, now as in
the past adhering to its policy of main-
taining an efficient system of general
education, declare it to be the duty of
the Legislature of tlie State to speedily
establish and make provision for the
support and maintenance of public free
schools, and to this end to exercise the
whole power with which it is invested.
3. The sufferings and losses of our
people on the frontier from the forays
of savages, and upon the Mexican
border from invasions, murder and
rapine by the Mexican banditti, enlist
our deep and sincere sympathy; and
while we hereby pledge our mest ener-
getic efforts to afford them adequate
protection in person and property by
the State, we also earnestly appeal to
the general povernment to give that
protection and security to our people
and their property thus exposed, to
which they are entitled under the con-
stitution of the United States.
4. That the Denux-ratic party, firmly
upholding the constitution of the United
Stales as the foundation and limitation
of the powers of the General Govern-
ment, and the safe shield of the liber-
ties of the people, demands for the citi-
zen the largest freedom consistent with
public order, and for every State the
right of self-government and home-
rule; that to uphold the former and
protect file latter tlie Democracy of
Texas plants itself for the great leading
principles enunciated in the inaugural
of President Jefferson and the farewell
address of the immortal Jackson, and
conviction that *he elements of op-
position to the National Administration
should be consolidated in the approach-
ing Presidential campaign, without pre-
judice to the unity and perpetuity of
the Democratic organization.
5. We pledge to the nominees of this
convention our earnest and activc sup-
port.
Mr. Stockdale, of Calhoun, moved
that the platform be adopted.
Mr. Stuart, of Harris, seconded the
motion of Mr. Stockdale, and moved
the previous question, which was
adopted.
Mr. Elliot, of Travis, rising to a
question of privilege, begged leave to
explain in connection with his action
in the Committee on Platform and Reso-
lutions, that he hod been misrepresent-
ed in several different ways. He had
been charged with having urged before
the committee the adaption of the new
constitution as a part}- test. He did not
only not do this, but did not even
-quint at it. He did differ with the
committee in a proposition which he in-
troduced, and which was supported by
fourteen members of the committee. It
had also been represented that he would
propose a minority report, and would
introduce a resolution that would pro-
duce a disturbance and alienation in the
Democratic party.
I have never had such purpose. I
think this much is due to myself, to
read what I did propose. He then read:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
convention that the question of the
adoption or rejection of the proposed
new constitution should be left to the
free suffrage of all the qualified voters
of the State, untrammclcd by party-
dictation; and that, while we would
recommend its ratification by the mem
bers of the party at the ballot box, we
refrain from making it an issue in the
canvass or a test of party fealty, leaving
every one to be controlled upon the
subject by his own enlightened judg-
ment .
Now this is the height, length and
breadth of my offending. He was then
proceeding to give reasons for introduc-
ing tlie paper when his time expired.
tiie trouble commences.
Crawford, of Marion: I adopt the re-
solution just read by Col. Elliot, and
move its adoption by the convention.
A storm of opposition was roused
and the greatest confusion followed,
Listing several minutes, during which
Crawford kept the floor and vainly en-
deavored to be heard.
He could in tlie lulls be occasionally
heard to say, "I assume the responsi-
bility of presenting that resolution,"
and " I adopt it as mine and will stand
by it."
After much excitement and confu-
sion Col. Crawford was finally per-
mitted to proceed, when he said that he
insisted upon tlie convention coming to
a vote upon the resolution, lie in-
sisted upon it in behalf of the constitu-
tion and in accordance with flic wishes
of his people. He wanted nothing but
fair play, and was not to be put down
by empty noise.
Noise and confusion.
Sexton, of Harrison, asked the con-
vention to treat the matter with respect.
He intended to vote against it, but
would accord Col. Crawford a hearing
anil a vote.
Half the members now get on tlieir
feet and all talkin
Resolution thanking the president
and officers for their efficient services
was read, but had no soothing effect.
Crawford moved to postpone the
thanks.
Crain, of Calhoun—Motion to lay-
postponing motion on the table.
Resolution of thanks withdrawn.
Judge Cook asked to be heard upon
a question of privilege. He wanted to
know what what was before the House.
tom scott again.
Capt. Brack protested against the ac-
tion of the convention in rushing
through the resolutions in reference to
the Texas Pacific Railroad. He was
satisfied that there, are few in the con
vent ion who understand the import of
those resolutions. He said: "I wish to
say that is no business of the conven
tion to meddle with the business inter
csts of different sections of the State. I
don't wan* to array one portion of the
State against another through the ac-
tion of a Democratic convention. The
people of the Northern part of the
State from which I came are the friends
of the Texas Pacific Railroad." He
thought the resolutions were entirely
too far reaching into matters with
which the conventibn had nothing to
do, and that their intent was covert and
insidious, and called for action on the
motion for reconsideration.
Giddings, of Washington, thought we
had better reconsider the vote adoptin
the resolutions. They had been hastily
adopted, and he was not himself fa-
miliar with them, and desired that they
be better understood.
Chilton, of Smith, asked permission,
as the mover of the resolutions, to con-
sume a brief portion of time to explain
their tenor, and the propositions con-
tained in them. I will not stop to re-
ply to what I consider was altogether
gratuitous denunciation of the resolu-
tions. As to the series of resolutions
being insidious, 1 defy the severest
criticism topoint out anything insidious
in the language embraced in these reso-
lutions.
I venture to say that not one shade of
suspicion can attach to the language
used. West's Texas Pacific bill pro-
poses to deflect from the original route
and leave Texas for the east by a north-
ern route cutting across the Staked
Plains towards St. Louis, and another
deflection to the south to New Orleans.
Have the representatives of the people
of the State of Texas to care not whether
these schemes are to destroy our own
cities and cripple the business interests
of Texas? I eare not whether gentle-
men believe it is Democratic or not to
foster and advance all the interests of
our people. I have held and still hold
that wherever our interests arc involved
we would be untrue to our duty not to
observe where they are jeopardized, and
not to support and maintain all our con-
stituents' interests i n every branch of
industry. I make no war upon this
railroad. The resolutions make no
war upon it. The State of Texas
has already given thirty million dollars
worth of lands to this road in order to
make for us a grand route through this
beautiful State. Then we call upon
your representatives to do as these reso-
lutions instruct them to do, demand for
the Sfate of Texas the construction of
this grand trunk line. What is there
insidious in the propositions that if they
will not agree to this the representa-
tives of the State of Texas should with-
hold their support. [Cries of time,
time, but permission given to proceed.]
I know, sir, that we have much to con-
tend against, but not with the people of
Texas. If 1 would go before the people
upon these propositions I would ven-
ture my head that they would carry by
a majority coeval with the Democrat ic
majority of the State of Texas. [Ap-
plause.]
I may be permitted to say that Tom
Scott, with all his millions that he has
accumulated from the hard earnings of
the working people of this country, can
not be permitted to dictate to the peo-
ple of Texas. [Applause, and cries by
the opposition of "Time!" "Time!"
Leave to proceed granted.] But recent-
ly he has purchased the Indianola njad
and may soon ride in his palace cars
from the shores of the Gulf to the
golden sands of California; but does
that allow him to dictate to our Con-
gress and our representatives? [Ap-
plause and cries of "No!" " No!"]
I stand here to denounce this conduct as
unjust to Texas, grasping, and ruinous
to every one but himself. I am at no
sort of hesitancy in saying that Col.
Scott does not intend to give the peo-
ple of Texas what they are entitled to
receive at his hands, when we consider
their great gifts to him. What does
his road do now? It carries-everything
out of the State, takes our trade and
productions to St. Louis or some other
commercial emporium, to enrich some
Other State. But if we can get what
the propositions contained in these
resolutions imply, we would find
it the means of lessening the burdens
of our people. Then the Texas Pacific
would build up a great metropolis here
upon this island, where there are so
many intelligent men and men of
power, and so many tieautiful women;
on this shore, where we will know
they are our own citizens and not for-
eicrhners. The commerce and t'ie capi-
tal here would then be secure. What,
sir is there insidious in this? A\ fiat is
there in it to frighten the bold represen-
tatives of the Democracy? AV c have a
right to control our Representatives in
Congress, the right to demand this ac-
tion of them, the right to instruct them
what kind of a vote they shall cast.
I call upon you to-night to scan well
the scope of the resolutions, and see if
anything in the language used is objec-
tionable, and if the vote to reconsider
is made shall call for the vote by coun-
ties, so that the Democracy of Texas
may see how their representatives stand
upon this question. | Applause. ]
This speech created a sensation.
Mr. Stockdale, of Callioun, concurred
I in the objects of the resolutions so far
as
they implied a doubt as to the loyalty
of our representatives in Congress to
the State of Texas. He had a letter
from the member from his district (Mr.
Schleicher), who was fully informed of
Col. Scott's maneuvers anil objects, and
it would not be respectful to him to
send him such instructions. So far as
he was concerned his representative
knew Tom Scott as well as we do, and
he could not vote to instruct him.
_ Gov. Stockdale's remarks made a de-
cided impression, and the convention,
which had been ready to again adopt
the resolutions, was convinced that the
Texas Representatives could be safely-
intrusted with the matter.
Capt. Brack replied to Col. Chilton,
somewhat modifying his views, and dis-
claiming the intention to attack the-
re-solutions for being in.«idious. It had
been passed without proper considera-
tion.
The delegates have not had time to ex-
amine it, and that is why I vote against
it. So far as Galveston is concerned,
I would like to see the whole Island
covered with a thriving city, and com-
merce, and every sea covered with the
sails of her ships; and I say Texas will
one day empty into her lap the produc-
tions of an empire, and I shall be glad
of that time when the railroads "will
pour into her coffers the wealth of
oriental states and nations. But be-
cause I have not time to give the reso-
lutions proper attention, and irrespec-
tive of what is in them, I shall oppose
their adoption.
Col. Elliot, of Travis, spoke against
the resolutions. It had been the policy
of tlie Democratic party to encourage
this Texas Pacific enterprise, but he did
now want the Democratic party to turn
itself into a railroad convention.
The vote adopting the resolutions
was then reconsidered, and the resolu-
tions finally tabled.
the new constitution.
After a great deal of confusion and
opposition, the resolution read by El-
liot and adopted by Crawford as his
proposition, was read.
Col. Crawford said that he would sub-
mit the new constitution was of no
spontaneous growth. It had come to
the people of "Texas through long tra-
vail. groaning under or an anti-Demo-
cratic organic law, the Democ-jacy, in
its platform adopted in 1873. had in-
serted a plank favoring the calling of a
constitutional convention. The Four-
teenth Legislature, a Democratic body,
had passed a law providing for the call-
ing of the convention to frame this or-
ganic law. Is it now fit and proper for
tlie Democratic party, responsible for
its existence, to submit it without refer-
ence to the party's responsibility in the
case. But this resolution makes its
adoption or rejection no test of
fealty to party. I will not stop to
argue upon its merits, beause it would
take at least two hours. If the propo-
sition meets with disfavor, let the re
sponsibility fall upon my head, and I
will meet it boldly, and do ask that the
vote be taken by counties, so that Dem-
ocrats at home may know how their del
egates have voted up this question.
Mr. Giddings moved to lay the rcso
lution upon the table.
Judge Cooke, rising to a question of
privilege, said that a# gentlemen had
held the adoption of the new constitu
tion was not to be a test, and tlie reso
lution did not make it binding upon
tlie Democracy to vote for it, and as the
convention had no business passin
upon matters not purely party ques-
tions, and upon which they were to
pass judgment, the convention could
not properly consider the resolution
which does not propose to enunciate
any Deihocratic principles or define any
line of action for the party. He said if
action was taken upon it he would
withdraw from the convention, what-
ever might be the consequences to him-
self.
At this stage of the proceedings the
confusion was renewed.
Col. Giddings and Col. Sheppard,
both of Washington county, made elo-
quent appeals for order and harmony.
The President threatened to adjourn
the convention if order was not better
preserved.
The voting by counties upon Craw-
ford's resolution commenced, and pro-
ceeded slowly. Many of his friends, and
many strongly favoring the adoption of
the new constitution, gathered about,
him and endeavored to persuade him to
withdraw the resolution, but he was not
to be deterred.

enter the contest of 1876 with the firm I as lie understood them, but thought
0749£ yes, 176)4 no.
Mr. Elliott, of Travis, rose to a per-
sonal explanation. He regretted ex-
ceedingly that the resolution had been
brought" before the convention. The
Travis county delegation did pass a re-
solution to the effect that the support
of the new constitution should not be
made a test question and the delegation
so understood it. The resolution was
not introduced by him in the conven-
tion, and he called on Col. Crawford to
say whether or not it wo* by his knowl-
edge or after interview with him that
the resolution was adopted by Colonel
Crawford.
Col. Crawford tool: pleasure' in say-
ing that there had been no interview
between Mr. Elliott and himself. The
resolution was not written by him, but
by Mr. Elliott and adopted by him.
Mr. Walsh, of Travis—I wish to ask
Col. Elliott whether the resolution was
not written by him, and whether he did
not say that he would have it intro-
duced in the convention to-night?
Mr. Elliott said the resolution was
written by him, and offered in the com-
mittee room, when it had the indorse-
ment of fourteen members, as able and
pure men as there were in the conven-
tion. There were men in the commit-
tee and the convention who were in
favor of making the support of the con-
stitution a test of fealty to the Democ-
racy. He opposed it. lie might have
said that he would have the resolution
introduced in the convention to-night.
He thought that the Dcmocratio party
doing it6elf great injustice. [Time was
called, and Mr. Klliott took liis seat.]
MOTION TO ADJOURN.
Col. Giddings, of Washington, moved
that tiie convention adjourn sine die.
The Chairman said, before putting
the question to adjourn, he would thank
the convention for tiie honor conferred
in making him their presiding officer.
The labors of the convention liad ceased.
The work accomplished was good, and
would, lie was tlrmly convinced, be in-
dorsed by the Democracy of the coun-
try. The nominees placed before the
people would sweep the State liki?nn
avalanche, scarcely leaving enough nf
the be-itcn and demoralized Radicals tc
show that they had ever existed as a
political organization.
The platform presented was just what
such instruments should be. short, con-
cise and explicit. lie had done his best
to discharge the duties confided to him
with impartiality—it was, perhaps, the
last occasion upon which he would have
the honor of presiding over the delib-
erations of a Democratic Convention,
and he wished to thank the delegates
for their uniform courtesy and their
kindness in sustaining him in the dis-
charge of his duties, He trusted that

RHEUMATISM CURED.
Dr John Finn:
Dear Sir—I feel it a duty to suffering hu-
manity, no less than to your unparalleled
medicine, to thank you for having rescued me
from a fate infinitely worse than death.
For ten years I have been afflicted with
rheumatism to such an extent as to render
life intolerable, and there has l»een no period
of time in the last two years that I would not
have hailed death a.s the kindest boon that
heaven could bestow. I had been treated 1>j-
such eminent doctors ns Ayres. Bjnie, the
late Geo. Cochman, Wilde._ Pahnedo. and
others, of Brooklyn. New York: Professors
Stone and Beamis. of New Orleans, and some
in this city, but they all failed until, through
the mercy of Providence. I called upon you
and took your wonderful medicines, which, in
the short space of ten days, has affected a i>er-
fect and radical cure. Your much obliged and
sincere friend, JAS. W. McCLOSKY.
Avenue K, near 3<»th street, Galveston.
Dr. John Finn:
Dear Sir—\ was afflicted with Chronic Rheu"
matism for the last five years, and have been
for several weeks at a time confined to my
bed, and going upon crutches. After fifteen
days taking .your medicine, as directed. I am
completely cured. Indeed I have not felt so
well in manv years. Thanking you kindly, 1
