licensing occupations.
"Joseph culled up bill making it a
penal otfensc to pursue an occupation
without taking out a license. Passed."
This pithy little item occurs in "Wednes-
day's proceedings of the State Senate.
What do Senator Joseph and the rest
ol them propose shall be dono with
the class of persons who are at
the same time unable to take out a
license, or to live honestly without
work? A vagrant law confronts them
with its penalties on one side; the
license law confronts them with its
penalties on another side. Between
these two ragged edges of their dilem-
ma what is left them but utter desper-
ation ? Miserable wretches! Do what
they will, they are unlawful and guilty.
The world is not their friend, nor the
world's law as it is prescribed by many
of our State Legislatures.
The fact is that the license system of
taxation is based on fundamentally
wrong assumptions. It brings statutory
law into conflict with natural law, and
thus contradicts the whole philosophy
of civil socicty and civil institution?.
The only proper office of civil legisla-
tion is to protect the rights and en-
force the obligations of men under
natural law. This law gives every
man the right to pursue some occupa-
tion for a livelihood. It makes this
the duty of every man who does not
possess the means of living without
labor. But the license system assumes
that the right to earn a livelihood can
only bo exercised as a privilege con-
ferred by the civil authority. It as-
sumes that this authority may tax the
privilege without limit and may pros-
ecute as a criminal any one who under-
takes, without exhibiting a certificate
of permission, to earn a livelihood by
some useful employment of his facul-
ties of mind or body.
The whole thing is false and mon-
strous. That which exists by permis-
sion may be absolutely prohibited. If
the Legislature has a right to prescribe
that no man shall pursue a certain oc-
cupation without previously paying
ten, twenty, fifty, or a hundred dol-
lars for the privilege, it has a right to
set the price of the privilege at five
hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand
dollars. Not only this, it may refuse
to bestow the privilege at any price.
The idea is altogether intolerable. It
implies a power equal to any degree
of extortion and oppression.
», C*w UaUally de-
vised and put upon the statute book,
is open to other objections hardly less
grave, though not so fundamental.
The tax-paving ability of all per-
sons engaged in the same occupation
is not the same. Some bring to it
more capital than others. Some bring
to it more skill than others. Some
fiud it attended by more favorable cir-
cumstances than others. But no mat-
ter. Those who, for any reason, de-
rive from it the least income, must pay
as large a tax as those to whom it is
worth five times or ten times as much.
This is essentially unjust, and in con-
ceivable casus may be positively
destructive to industry and enterprise.
It is a fact, too, that the rich and the
strong, who can best afford to pay
such taxes, most often evade or suc-
cessfully resist them; while those who
are weak in means, obscure and with-
out influence, struggling to make
their way and to rise by honest effort,
are left to bear the brunt of the inflic-
tion.
Is it not amazing that a system,
necessarily unjust and unequal in prac-
tice, and in contradiction to the funda-
mental principles of democratic lib-
erty, should have so long maintained
its ground among the legislative repre-
sentatives of a free people ?
Gen. Auour and Gen. Ord are as-
signed to new commands, the former
going from San Antonio to New Or-
leans, the latter from the Department
of tho l'latte to the Department of
Texas and Indian Territory. This
may or not have some covert political
significance. Gen. Emory, now com-
manding at New Orleans, and who, it
seems, is to be retired, has not dis-
guised his disrelish for the business of
bolstering the Kellogg de facto ship
with bayonets, though he has done it
when so ordered very effectually.
Still, it has been the traditional his-
tory of the United States Government
to shuffle its military officers, so that
about the time one of them may have
begun to contract strong local attach-
ments, or a sentiment of local patriot-
ism anywhere, he is sure to be torn
away by assignment to some other
post.
It appears from our New Y'ork
special that Moses Taylor and other
financial magnates of that city who are
conet rned more or less in the Interna-
tional Kailroad, are somewhat disap-
pointed at the substitution of lands for
bonds. But they will hardly be op-
pressed with grief on this account
when they come to realize the extent
and character of the grant and the
money value of the tax-emption. They
could scarcely have a better basis of
credit than their immense landed do-
main, frco from State or local tax
charges, will give them. Mr. Moody
thinks that the bonds of the company
will be improved by a settlement
which leaves no litigious questiqp be-
tween the State and the company, and
Mr. Plumb deems it a favorable settle-
ment and does not doubt that it will
be accepted, and that steps will be
promptly taken for pushing on the con
stiuction of the rood.
Out Austin dispatches say that the
railroad charters passed by the present
Legislature have cost the State $40,000
Hut we aro not informed how many
charters have been granted, nor
whether any of the roads are likely to
be built.
Power Exercised by Itepudiated
Hepresentatlves.
The government of the United States
is supposed to be one of the people,
while that of Great Britain is a mon-
archy. Yet in many cases the latter
is more directly amenable to, and con-
trolled by, the electors than our own.
Whenever there is a vote of want of
confidence in an English cabinet
it resigns and appeals to the nation;
but with us a Congress repudiated by
the people in the popular elections
holds on to power, and exercises
it to the last moment, in measures in-
tended to be in contravention of the
popular will. The New Y'ork Nation
severely censures the late Congress for
persisting in the enactment of
odious measures which had been
condemned by the people in the elec-
tions last November, when the advo-
cates of these measures were notified
that their services were no longer
wanted, nor the measures thus thrust
upon the country desired by their con-
stituents. That paper says: "There
is one feature in the present state of
the law for which there is really no
excuse—we mean tho persisteuce of the
majority in legislating actively on sub-
jects with regard to which it has re-
ceived formal notice that it no longer
possesses the confidence of the public.
* * * Here we see a body of men
wielding all the power of the govern-
ment months after they have been dis-
missed from office, and therefore under
no proper sense of responsibility to
anybody."
This willful disobedience of the
popular will can only be effectually
rebuked by keeping the guilty parties
out of office hereafter.
Tlie Humorous Iconoclast.
The lives of great men arc no longer
to remind us that wc can make our
lives sublime. Our models of the
great men of the past are daily hoisted
from their pedestals and made to step
down and out. The epidemic of ir-
reverence that swept the newspapers
on the late anniversary of the birth of
General Washington is subsiding into
attempts to drag down the great men
of both modern and ancient times.
The iconoclasts arc abroad, and the
demon of ridicule is shattering our
finest models of mankind. Where the
image breakers will stop can only be
guessed by the extent of the work be-
fore them. They spare neither the
profane nor sacred. The Malay,
running a muck, and killing or
attempting to kill every one
he meets; or the "capoeiras" de-
scribed by tho Brazilian Times, who
somersault through the streets of Rio
with razors concealed in their hair and
between their toes, killing or maiming
all with whom they come in contact;
or a Texas cow-boy, crazed with bad
whisky, dashing on horseback through
the streets of a village and firing on
the citizens right and left, are exag-
gerated types of our modern critics,
who spare nothing that comes in their
way, turning funerals and the most
frightful cases of human suffering into
ridicule with as much gusto as the
antics of a clown. As examples of the
most innocent specimens of these dis-
paraging views of the great men of the
past, let us take the following, from
one of the humorous concerts of that
popular writer, Max Adeler, who de-
fends, while he indulges in, this kind
of writing:
We always think of great men in the
act of performing deeds which give them
renown, or else in stately repose, grand,
silent and majestic. And yet this is
hardly fair, because the most gracious
and magnificent of human beings have
to bother themselves with the little
things of life which engage the | at-
tention of us smaller people. No doubt
Moses snarltd and got angry when he
had a severe cold in his head, and if a fly
bit his leg while he was in the desert,
why should we suppose that he did not
jump and use violent language and rub
the sore place? And C;eaar—isn't it tol-
erably pertain that he used to get furious
when he went up etairs to get his slip-
pers in the dark and found that C'alpliur-
nia had shoved them under the bed so
that he had to sweep around them wildly
with a broom-handle ? And when Solo-
mon cracked his crazy bone is unreason
able to suppose that he ran around the
room and felt as if he wanted
to have a cryImagine George
Washington sitting on the edge of the
bed, and putting on a clean sliirt and
growling at Martha because the buttons
were off; or St. Augustine with an apron
around his neck having his hair cut ; or
Joan of Arc holding her front hair in her
mouth, as women do, while she fixed up
her back hair ; Napoleon jumping out of
bed in a frenzy to chase a mosquito
around the room with a pillow ; or Martin.
Luther in a night-shirt trying to put
the baby to sleep' at 2 o'clock in the
morning; or Alexander the Great with
his hiccoughs ; or Thomas Jefferson get-
ting suddenly over a fence to avoid a
dog; or the Duke of Wellington with
the mumps ; or Daniel Webster abusing
his wife because she hadn't tucked the
covers at the foot of the bed ; or Ben-
jamin Franklin paring his corns with a
razor ; or Jonathan Edwards, at the din-
niner table, wanting to Bneeze just as he
got his mouth fuli of hot beef ; or Noah
standing at his window at night throwing
bricks at a cat.
Max proves the truth of his aphorism
that no man is a hero to his valet.
The Ohio Republicans fiud that it
will not do to apply moral tests to
their candidates. They say that they
have had no success since they laid
swearing old Ben Wade on the shelf,
and they are determined to bring him
out for Governor, with the expectation
that the whole army of roughs will
rally to the standard. If so, Falstaff's
ragged regiment and Billy Wilson's
zouaves will suffer cclipsc. No more
effectual means could be taken to
purge a party of good and decent men
than to select candidates purely with
reference to their popularity among
the ignorant and dissolute classes.
This is the process that is dragging
down our Republican institutions, and
which has made the "Republican
party" a misnomer and a reproach
upon the name.
The amendment to the Public Free
School law adopted in the House of
Representatives, making the compen-
sation of teachers not to exceed ten
cents for each pupil per day, is, we
believe, a novel feature—making the
pay of teachers depend upon the num
ber of their pupils, and not upon their
qualifications or the amount of their
labor.
The Governor will doubtless ap-
prove the bill, which has now passed
both Houses, for holding a Constitu-
tional Convention. The Senate clause
for submitting the question of conven-
tion or no convention to the people at
the election of delegates, was agreed
to by the conferenee committee and
makes part of the bill.

troduced into California.

[Special to the Galveston News.}
Rockdale, March 11,1875.
The town of Rockdale has been in a
state of excitement for the last two days,
in consequence of a little foul play to an
unfortunate countryman, bjT some of the
gambling fast stock with which this
town has been infested. Report says a
poor, unfortunate man, from the back-
woods, was sent into town wiih money
to purchase lumber to build a church.
The poor unfortunate fell into bad com-
pany, and got duped to the tune of about
$500, at a little game called bunco. The
good people of Rockdale held an indig-
nation meeting, and appointed a com-
mittee to draft resolutions to notify cer-
tain parties, supposed to be gamblers,
sports and fakirs, to leave town in thirty-
six hours. One Palmer is said to be the
party who played the little game. He
made his escape, but word has just come
over the wires that Palmer and another
party have been arrested, and are held
in irons at Jewett.
The citizens of Rockdale have formed
night watch, numbering 143 men,
all of which stand guard at night.
The municipal election is on hand.
There are three candidates in the field
for mayor—Burck, Estes and Loper. The

To the Modical Profession of the State of
Texas:
The seventh annual mesting of the
Texas Medical Association will be held
on the first Tuesday, April 6,1875, at 9
o'clock a. m., at the Representative Hall,
Austin. The annual address will be given
by the President, A. G. Clopton, M. D.;
Essayist, S. M. Welch, M. D. Papers
will be presented by the different com-
mittees appointed at the last annual
meeting, and officers will be elected for
the ensuing year. Delegates are expected
to be present from other State societies,
and participate in the proceedings.
Arrangements have been made with the
railroad companies to transport all phy-
sicians at half rates, and with the hotels
to entertain them at reduced rates.
The Representative Hall will be fur-
nished by the State for the meeting for
ten days, commencing the 6th of April.
Our association is growing in numbers
and importance, and we invite the pro-
fession throughout the State to meet
with us. All members are expected to
be punctual in attendance, as business
of interest and importance to all will be
transacted. It is desirable that we pre-
sent as far as may be a full gathering,
and show that we feel concern
enough to come together at least once a
year. To further the objects of those
principles which we believe have in view
the moBt momentous interests of the
commonwealth, let us therefore most
heartily concur, and by every fair and
honorable means in our power endeavor
to promote the accomplishment of an
end so desirable to sustain the dignity,
honor and usefulness of the profession.

[ Special to the Galveston New. |
New Yokk, March 11, 1875.
Inquiring among Moses Taylor, Kenne-
dy,Wetmore, Marquand and others,I find
disappointment manifest at having te take
land instead of bonds, but great vague-
ness exists regarding the value of tlie
concession which has been secured. The
company's bonds are not expected to ad-
vance, as considerable delay is antici-
pated in realizing from the land, which
is not available as collateral secirity
in the present state of the money market.
Tlie.li-ading stockholders intend to e nfer
shortly and determine their future poli
cy. Col. Moody considers that the desire
to deal equitably, as well as the deliber-
ation manifested by Texas, has imprtssed
capitalists favorbly and improvec the
credit of the State, which would have
been impaired had any of its securities
been the subject of litigation. Hor. Ed-
ward Plumb is gratified that the diffi-
culty is settled, deeming the terms lecur-
ed are better than is generally [supposed.
He considers the prospects of the road

Washington, March 11.—Gen. Sheri-
dan left here to-day, returning to New
Orleans by way of Chicago. His con-
duct in the late troubles of that city
has been approved by the President.
When the pending Louisiana compro-
mise shall be fully consummated a por-
tion of the troops will be withdraws from
New Orleans. Private advices from that
city show that, while a few ultra poli-
ticians on both sideB are not inclined to
a settlement on the proposed basis, a
large majority of the people, including
merchants and planters, are willing for
peace on almost any terms, as the.r ma-
terial interests are seriously injured by
continual commotion.
Washington, March 11.—Not a word
has been received to-day from New
Hampshire.
Senator Gordon, of Georgia, and Eepre-
sentative Lamar, of Mississippi, have
returned from New Hampshire.
The Boston Herald, (Independent Re-
publican), says : " They could do much
to convince our people that the tima had
come to Becure local government to the
South and that we are preparing a
chalice, that will, surely, sooner or later,
be pressed to our own lips. The quastion
is local to us as well as to the South.
We can not sustain free institutions in
one section while trampling them down in
another. We must maintain literty for
all or submit to a despotism which will
deny the rights alike to all."
_ New York, March 11.—The Congres-
sional Committee to arbitrate on Louisi-
ana affairs, met to-dav at the office of Hon.
Wm. Walter Phelps, No. 26 Exchange
Place. In consequence of the non-ar-
rival of the election returns and other
documents relative to the issue, and also
the absence of Mr. Frye, and Mr. Hoar,
the chairman, the committee adjourned.
CONGRESS.
Senate.
Washington, March 11.—In the Sen-
ate Clayton, of Arkansas, asked for a de-
cision on the point of order raised against
a resolution submitted by him a few days
ago, providing for the appointment of a
committee to visit the Indian Territory,
during recess, to inquire into the condi-
tion of affairs there, etc. A lengthy dis-
cussion ensued.
After long discussion over Clayton's
resolution for a Special Committee to
inquire into Indian Territory affairs,
without action the Senate went into ex-
ecutive session, and adjourned.
THE GREAT SCANDAL.
New York, March 11.—When the
court opened in Brooklyn to-day Mr.
Beach announced that Mr. Fullerton was
sick.
Mrs. Oakley was then cross-examined
by Mr. Beach, but nothing of importance
was brought out.
Charles Cowley was called as the next
witness. He testified that he had lived
ia Lowell, Massachusetts, since 1842.
practiced law in Lowell and Boston
for the last nineteen years, except two
years when he was at the war. He was
a candidate for Attorney General of
Massachusetts. In connection with this
political matter he visited New York in
the fall of 1871. While there he saw
Theodore Tilton ; was introduced to him
by Mrs. Woodhull at her house in New
York. A number of persons of both
sexes were present. On one occasion he
called at the house by Mrs. Woodhull's
invitation, to meet Tilton and others.
Mrs. Woodhull said that a great revo-
lution was about to take place in regard
to the marriage relation and that Beecher
would be its leader. The witness said
he did not believe this and Mrs. Wood-
hull said that Beecher would have to
be exposed as one who concealed in pub-
lic his private sentiments. Mrs. Wood-
hull having said something as to
Beecher's preaching to a dozen of his mis-
tresses, the witness said that he could
not do without becoming notorious.
Either Tilton or Mrs. Woodhull spoke of
the number of Beecher's mistresses as
being forty. The name of Miss Proctor
was mentioned in this connection. Mrs.
Woodhull, in a tone which might have
been heard by Tilton, spoke of Mrs. Til-
ton as a woman with whom Beecher had
long been enamored. She said there was
some doubt as to whether Beecher or Til-
ton was the father of one of Mrs. Til-
ton's children. She said that Mrs. Tilton
had confessed to her husband and that
Mr. Beecher obtained a retraction from
her, which a friend of Tilton procured
from him at the point |of a pistol. He
thought she mentioned the name Moul-
ton. The witness expressed his disbe-
lief in this, and said that if Mrs. Tilton
had written one confession she could
write another.
Mrs. Woodhull said that she was not
likely to make another, as that was writ-
ten when Tilton was in some business
trouble. The injustice of some marriage
laws was discussed,Tilton and Mrs.Wood-
hull agreeing that marriage ought to be
a simple contract. Witness expressed
different opinions. Mrs. Woodhull said
that she favored an abolition of the
whole present system, segregated fami-
lies, and thought children ought to be
brought up in institutions maintained by
the State. Tilton and Mrs. Woodhull
seemed to be enamored of each other.
He called her Victoria and she called
him Theodore. The witness did not
leave till after 10 o'clock that evening,
and Tilton remained. This occasion took
place September, 1871. The following
October witness stopped in New York
on his way to Washington, and called on
Mrs. Woodhull in consequence of a note
which he received from her; was subse-
quently her counsel in some matters;
was received in the house by Colonel
Blood, and found Theodore Tilton there
with Mrs. Woodhull and Mr. Claflin;
Mrs. Woodhull said Beecher was to pre-
side at a meeting where she was to speak
on the relations eft the sexes; witness
told her he could not believe that Beech-
er would preside; Mrs. Woodhull said he
would, and that Tilton was arranging it;
Tilton said Beecher would not express
approval of her sentiments, as he had
not courage enough, but he would say
that he considered her subject a legiti-
mate one for public discussion.
WHEELER COMPROMISE.
e
New Orleans, March 11.—The Times
says : We have authority from one of
the gentlemen named in Wheeler's '.etter
for statfcg that to-day an official state-
ment will be made by Messrs. Leonard,
Zacharie and Burke to this effect:
At every interview with Messrs. Hoar,
Frye, Marshall and Wheeler, the three
gentlemen first named, and particularly
Messrs. Hoar and Frye, insisted that Mr.
Wheeler was their spokesman ; that to
him every phase of arbitration should be
submitted ; that he was fully authorized
to act for the committee in their inter-
view with the President. General (Jrant
at first declined to take any part in the
adjustment, saying that it was his duty
to see law carried out, but not to partici-
pate in matters of State policy.
Only upon assurance of the impossi-
bility of the parties immediately con-
cerned in the controversy ever agreeing,
and the assertion that so deeply rooted a
suspicion exists in the minds of Conser-
vatives of the Radical leaders of Louisi-
ana, that it would be out of the question
for them to place any credence in any
pledge they (the Radicals) would make,
did he reconsider his action. He then
said, in substance :
I have great confidence in the fairness
of Mr. Wheeler, and any arrangement
you can make with him which will bring
about an adjustment of your difficulties
will receive any support I can give.
The committee then saw Mr. Wheeler,
who immediately left for the executive
mansiun. He returned an hour after-
wards, saying as he greeted them : " I
have seen the President, and he is
thoroughly in earnest concerning this
adjustment, and will give it his support."
The question was then asked will the
whole committee—that is, the entire
body—act in arbitration 1
Mr. Wheeler replied: Mr. Potter I
suppose will, as he conveniently can, and
if the rest can remain and serve, the
whole committee will arbitrate.
He was asked would Messrs. Foster,
Phelps and Potter act in arbitration, if
they would consent to remain, and to
this he replied in the affirmative. Far
from acting in his individual capacity, it
is notorious that from the incipiency of
the adjustment, and in every official state
ment or discussion, he acted for the rest
and did then. This interview occurred
in Mr. Wheeler's room on Twelfth street.
Messrs. Hoar and Frye were not present,
but their presence throughout the series
of interviews was not deemed necessary,
as both gave repeated assurances that
Mr. Wheeler acted for them.
Messrs. Potter, Phelps and Foster were
next seen, and all three gave assurances
that they would serve on arbitration.
This assurance was all that Mr. Wheeler
asked—the presence of others, and their
agreement that the whole committee
should act in the event of the above con-
sent being obtained, never having been
for a moment doubted.
POLITICAL.
Concord, N. H., March 11.—Returns
from all but eight towns of the State are
received. The footings up of these
towns are : Two hundred and fifty-nine
towns and wards give Cheney, Republi-
can, 38,771 ; Roberts, Democrat, 38,688 ;
White, Temperance, and scattering, 678.
The same towns last year gave Mc-
Cutchen, Republican, 33,860; Weston,
Democrat, 35,205; Blackmar, Tempe-
rance, and scattering, 2,077.
The Republican net gain is 2827. Che-
ney's minority, 595.
The towns yet to be heard from, gave
last year, McCutchen, Republican, 281;
Weston, Democrat, 313 ; scattering, 7.
Adding last year's vote and these
towns, makes a Republican net gain of
2788, and Cheney's minority 044.
The footingsjfrom the first Congres-
sional district elect Jones, Democrat, by
472 plurality, and Bell, Democrat, in se-
cond district by 154 purality and Blair,
Republican, in third district by 73 plu-
rality. Estimating four towns in Coas
county, not returned, to give the same
vote as last year, the Republicans have a
majority in the house. The exact figures
can not be given. They claim it by from
six to twelve. The footings of several
senatorial districts indicate that they
stand: five Republicans, five Democrats
and two districts no choice.
There is no election of Governor by
the people, and the duty of selection will
devolve upon the Legislature, which will
doubtless elect Cheney, the Republican
candidate. The Democrats claim a ma-
jority in the Council, though the districts
have not been figured sufficiently to de-
termine finally.
The vote in the State yesterday is said
to have been the largest ever polled.
Concord, N. H., March 11.—After
Senator Gordon had finished his speech
last night, many Federal soldiers who
had fought against him came up to the
stand and greeted him warmly.
Charleston, March 11.—a movement
in the Legislature against State Treas-
urer Cardoza is being actively pressed.
The Joint Committee have framed and
presented in both houses an address to
the Governor demanding the removal of
the Treasurer, who has been notified to
appear before the Joint Assembly next
Tuesday with his defense, after which a
vote will be taken on the adoption of the
address. Gov. Chamberlain in an inter-
view with the correspondent of the
News and Courier, warmly defends the
Treasurer, in whose honesty he reposes
unshaken faith, and treats the movement
against him as notoriously originating in
the baffled cupidity of those who view
the public service as a mere chance to
make money, and who could not induce
Cardoza to lend himself to jobbery.
REVENUE INVESTIGATION
New York, March 11.—Banking men
are very much excited over the action of
the Internal Revenue Department at
Washington to establish the inquisitorial
system of investigation into the manner
of transacting business at the banks,
with a view to learning whether any
checks which were not properly stamped
have been paid. The banks were called
upon to furnish evidence of any careless-
nesa or omission on their part in this
respect, the object being to collect a pen-
alty of fifty dollars for every check dis-
covered to have been paid without a
stamp.
According to later reports from Port
au Prince, received yesterday, the
fire which occurred at that place,
February 11, was still more disastrous
than telegraphed. It is announcd that
the entire northern portion of thecity
was swept by the flames. Four hundred
houses were consumed, and the loss to
property is estimated at $2,000,000. No
American companies lose anything by
the fire.
CASUALTIES.
New York, March 11.—Details from
tho fire in the match factory at Tidaholm,
Sweden, show that sixty women and
children were working at the time.
Forty-three persons, mostly women, were
literally roasted to death. *
Baltimore, March 12.—George York,
freight engineer on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, was instantly killed this
morning at Mt. Airy, by the explosion of
the boiler of his engine which he was
oiling at the time while taking in water.
MINOR TELEGRAMS.
Charleston, March 12—For two
days past there has been an almost
compltee dead lock in the cotton market

mand of buyers for ccrtain conditions re-
garding reweighing of bales upon deliv-
ery, which the sellers decline to concede.
Efforts are being made to adjust the
matter.
New York, March 11.—The liabilities

FOREIGN.
Pakis, March 11.—The Courier de
France reports that M. Defoure has
drawn up a programme of policy for the
new ministry, the leading features of
which are that the Assembly, on the
meeting after the Easter holidays, is to
vote on the Budget; the senatorial elec-
tions to be held next September ; the dis-
solution of the Assembly to follow in
October ; the Government to demand the
maintenance of the present electoral syE-
tem, and raise the state of siege in all the
departments except the Seine, the Rhone
and the Bouches du Rhone.
London, March 11.—A Berlin corre-
spondent telegraphs that Germany has
asked Italy whether she wiil continue
to exempt the Pope from the obligations
of law, and complains that he is now
abusing the liberty given him for the
purpose of fermenting rebellion in Ger-
many.
Berlin .March 12.—There is no founda-
tion for the report in the Tagsblatt that
France intended to concentrate troops in
tbe Eastern Departmants, experiment-
ally, and that Germany threatened to mo-
bilize two army corps on the Rhine if she
persisted.
London, March 11.—The Times Paris
special says MacMahon, by yielding to
the intrigues of the Bonapartists, and re-
fusing to make D'Audifret Pasquier
Minister of the Interior, dealt a deadly
blow at the reserved respect which all
paities previously entertained for him.
Duke D'Audifret Pasquier will prob-
ably be elected President of the Assem-
bly.
Vienna, March 11.—Francis Joseph
has received and accepted the resigna-
tion of Baron Schwarz-Senborn, Austro-
Hungarian Minister to Washington.

MEXICO.
City of Mexico, March 1.—Gabril
Macera and |Vincente Scria Torres have
been appointed Commissioners to rejfcfe-
sent Mexico at the Philadelphia Centen-
nial Exhibition.
The church party are fomenting trou-
bles with a view of organizing a revolu-
tion, UBing as their pretext expulsion of
Sisters of Charity. The ill feeling be-
tween the Catholics and Protestants in
Acapulco |and other places continues.
Groups in the streett of Acap ul-
co shout death to the Protestants.
The latter fear further violence, and
numbers of them are preparing to emi-
grate.
The American assassinated at Acapulco
was named Henry Morris. He was from
Boston. Minister Foster is making a
collection for his destitute family.

soldiers also arrived 1»day from Spain.
Havana, March 12.—Arrived : Steam-
er Wilmington, New Orleans ; Sailed to
return, schooner Geo. Sealy, Galveston,

The New Episcopal Bishops.
A good deal of interest is manifest-
ed among Episcopalians, even in Texas,
on the question of the confirmation of
the newly nominated bishops, who are
reputed to be ritualists of the most ad-
vanced order:
The vote of the standing committees
thus far on the confirmation of Dr.
DeKoven as bishop of Illinois is as fol-
lows : For confirmation, Albany and
Alabama; against confirmation, Indi-
ana, Kentucky, Virginia and Central
New York and Texas. The standing
committees of the remaining dioceses,
thirty-four in number, have not yet
passed judgment. Of dioceses which
have already voted, Indiana, in the
General Convention on the ballot in re-
gard to Professor Seymour's confirma-
tion, cast its clerical vote yea and its
lay vote was divided ; Kentucky voted
nay; Virginia nay; Central New York
clerical, yea; lay, divided ; Alabama,
clerical, divided; lay, yea; Albany,
yea. The standing committee of the
diocese of Indiana in voting against
Dr. DeKoven adopted a series of reso-
lutions declaring that they withhold
their assent to the testimonials on ac-
count of his holding the doctrine of
Eucharist adoration, which the bishops
emphatically condemned in their pas-
toral letter of 1871. Of the church
press the Southern Churchman publish-
ed at Alexandria, Va., and the Church
Journal of New York city take strong
grounds against Dr. DeKoven's con-
firmation.
Rev. Thomas A. Jagger, D. D., of
Philadelphia, Episcopal Bishop elect
of Southern Ohio, has written a letter
to Bishop Bacon of Pennsylvania, in
which he defines his views on those
questions of church discipline concern-
ing which he has been charged with
disloyalty. Ee says that in signing
the letter to Mr. Cheney he meant sim-
ply to express his sympathy with that
clergyman in his perplexities and sor-
rows, and not to countenance him in
bis resistance to the decision of the
Episcopal Court. He declares it to be
his "decided opinion that there should
be no departure from ritual law in the
public offices of our church, either by
omission or addition," and adds: "It
is scarcely necessary to assure you, my
dear bishop, that I should not have
accepted the call which involves for
me so much sacrifice, if I had not be-
lieved that I could promise conformity
to the doctrine, discipline and worship
of the Protestant Episcopal Church
with a true and loyal heart."
The Indiana Legislature was called
to convene in extra session on Tuesday,
March 9. Governor Hendricks, in his
proclamation, gives the following as
his reasons therefor:
Because of a disagreement between
the Senate and House of Representa-
tives at the present session of the Gen-
eral Assembly, a failure to pass laws
indispensable to the administration of
the State government, including the
revenue and general appropriation
bills has oecurred, and because thereof
the public welfare requires a special
session of the General Assembly.
The members ought to pay their own
mileage in such cases.
Archbishop Manning has been sum-
moned to Rome by the Pope, who, it is
thought, will make him a Cardinal.
Personal.
A. B. Sheppard, Esq., President of the
First National Bank of Houston, Texas,
was in the city yesterday.
The New York women are spending
Lent in preparing gorgeous dresBes for
the fancy ball to be given at Delmonico's
in Easter week.
The Princess Furstenburg wore an old
ball-dress in Paris the other day. It was
of blue satin; embroidered with the Jap-
anese stones called bliard.
A guest at Joe Jefferson's orange plan-
tation, on Bayou Teche, La., is Mr. W m
Winter, the dramatic critic of the New
lork Tribune, who is in poor health.
Robert Bonner, who pinned his faith to
Bergh through thick and thin, is at last
disgusted with him, and stigmatizes him
as a vain egotist, guilty of foolish petty
tyranny.
A New York correspondent says you
can always tell a young man descended
from the first families of Boston by his
having on the end of his nose a wart
sprouting three hairs.
Prince de Bismarck purposes going to
his estate in Lauenburg, remaining there
the whole of the summer, in order to re-
establish his health, which, it is known,
is in an unsatisfactory state.
This doubtful piece of news comes
from the Indianapolis Journal: " It is
stated on apparently good authority that
President Grant will spend the greater
portion of the coming summer in Europe,
passing most of his time in England
w ith his married daughter. Regarded in
social and domestic view this is all
right. In a public and political view it
is all Wrong."
Prince Louis Napoleon, now that he
has left Woolwich, will request the
French government to allow him to pass
his examination, in order that he may
serve as a one-year's volunteer in the
French army. It is a request which,
whether granted or not, will be likely to
increase the Prince's popularity. If the
government says yes, the Prince will re-
ceive credit for a voluntary offer of ser
vice; if no, it will add to his prestige by
seeming to fe-A him.
Says the New Orleans Times: "Nearly
every newspaper in the land has printed
a paiagraph to the effect that Gen. Long-
street has take# up his residence in
Georgia, and is there engaged in sheep-
raising. The intelligence is correct, with
the slight modification that the person re-
ferred to is not in Georgia, hasn't been
there for some time, isn't in the sheep-
raising business, and is in New Orleans,
where, at latest accounts, he has con-
cluded to remain for some time to come."
Lieut. Gov. D. B. Penu is back in New
Orleans from his trip to Washington.
" His reception at the national capital,
says the Picayune, " was very flattering,
and few expected to find in the ' bandit'
revolutionary Governor of the 4th of
September, the modest, handsome, unas-
suming gentleman who walked the cor-
ridors of the Capitol with peaceful mien,
and shook hands and looked and spoke
as naturally as any other man. The
Governor is strongly in favor of a com-
promise, and is satisfied that the terms
of the protocol will be carried out."

information for delegates.
Bureau of Immigration, i
Office of Superintendent, -
Austin, Texas, March 9,1875. \
Eds. News—Will you please announce
that the delegates for the excursion to
promote immigration end given by the
Central Railroad to the counties on that
line, will rendezvous at Denison on Tues-
day, the 8th day of April. Each county
will be allowed two delegates, to be se-
lected by the people at public meetings,
or in any other way they may decide
upon, the object being to secure for dele-
gates good and well-informed citizens,
who are identified with the county they
will represent and are familiar with its
resources, products and advantages.
f The delegates will forward to me at
this city, by the 25th day of this month
(March), a certificate of the appointment,
duly signed, with seal attached, by the
Chief Justice, County Clerk, or Notary
Public of his county. These certificates
of appointment will be presented by me
to the general passenger agent of the
Central Railrpad, who will furnish each
delegate, through me, with his pass, in
time for tl»em to reach Denison on the
morning of the 8th of April, as above
stated, to leave that city for St. Louis,
Louisville and Cincinnati.
It is respectfully suggested to the
counties to be prompt in appointing their
delegates, and in furnishing them with
the proper printed matter for distribu-
tion, setting forth the resources and ad-
vantages of their counties, as it is confi-
dently believed this excursion, if proper-
ly managed, will result in much good to
the counties as well as to the State.
The delegates will bo furnished trans-
portation from their depots of departure
to Denison. Respectfully,
J. B. Robertson,
Superintendent Bureau of Immigration of
Ellis county.
A large meeting was recently held
at Willis's Rooms, London, under the
presidency of the Earl of Shaftesbury,
a leading member of the Church of
England, the purpose of which was to
establish a home for the treatment of
persons addicted to intemperance in
the upper and middle classes. Among
several eminent persons who supported
the chairman was the Catholic Arch-
bishop of Westminster, Dr. Manning,
who has long exhibited interest in the
temperance reform, having addressed
immense audiences on that subject, and
personally administered the pledge to
thousands. Considerable support in
money for the establishment of the
proposed home has been already se-
cured, and the project has been cor-
dially indorsed by leading physicians
of London. The fact that the object of
the meeting was to establish a home
for the treatment of intemperate per-
sons in the upper and middle classes,
would seem to indicate that it is gain-
ing ground among those who are gen-
erally expected to set a good example
to society.
