That nocotnpany shall be allowed to avail

Mr Sullivan said: Toe amendments offered

The substitnte which I propose for that amend
mentis thi that all companies seeking to

the bill nnder consideration shall first 1ere

Jfiw'sir ir we consider the amount of
means it Is proposed that the State-of Texs
shall fnrniflh towards the construction of rail
roads first by donation of lands ; second bv
the amoo&t oX stock her citizens will take of
It and lanly the amonnt it is proposed to
furnish In cash ont of the Treasury under the
operation of this law. It will be seen. 'that a
majority of the means actually required to
bnild them. Is in fact furnished by Texas.
Rente it will be seen that tbe snb&titote which
I offer is In fact bnt earning ont the spirit of
the amendment Itself
I hope therefore "the substitute will not be
Tiewed as an effort to injure the bill or in
any way defeat its passage.
It is offered with no such intention It is
well known to this Bnnse.tbat tb
-ITty r;u 'Jitti ore i n vijuiiij
well known that tbe Wends of this measure
have "been warned against all amendments
coming Tmm the State Plan men as beirnr
calculated to weaken the bill and If possible
to defeat Its passage.
1 hope the Hook will do me justice to be-
lieve me sincere when I declare that the sub-
stitote has been offered with no such pten
tlon. Tbe only object which I had In view-
was to make tbe bill in myhnmble opinion
better for tbe people and tbe State or Texas
than it would be without ft.
There have been many flings made npon
this floor at the State Plan men eince the dis
ensfion of this bill .commenced It may be
that some of them have been aimed at me : if
so. I have only to say that they have fallen 1
like spent nans toeynave an oeen oarmies
I am aware of no dsraagehavtntr been sus-
tained any wehere by them
I a pain disclaim any wish or intention now
to defeat tbe nassace of the Loan BtU I
am satisfied thatfthc public sentiment de
mands ft nowever unwise i may oeueve mat
sentiment to be I came here with the firm
conviction that this meascre In some shape
would tiasi this legislature. It is now ancar
ent that the Loan Bill Is to become tbe law of
Texas and I will even saythatlahonld regret
its failure to pass and become the law of the
land darinjrthe present session though I may
feci compelled upon principle to vote against
it nod why should I regret Its failure to pass?
Sir 1 regard it as the only avenue through
which the people of Texas mnst pass on to
that creater and better svstem which is ulti
mately destined to build up the roads of
Texas
I regard-Vt -as a fixed fact now that the
people or lexa win not quite on tn otatr
nlan except haTiiic passed ihrouchbt or-
deal of trdintmand watefol exp-ritnent o
wtticu me unan mu opens ineooor.
I bave become full? convinced that the pnh-
Iiefcntiment dni&nls this experiment. tH
ssenfiee tif.tlme and money. Howtver -
phive and however unwirt the poury mai
rrttve tribe. I desire to see It tried in oWdi
ence to the popnlir will for I believe the
sooner the exriirent is commenced the
so ner It will be abandoned.
But Mr. Sieaker I will now proceed f give
some of the principal reason why I think the
Bib-thate I have offered shonld piss. Thrv
ares'ich too as seem to have escaped anv
general attention at the hands of the people
It Is nnred by the friend of the loaning

lion 1 niutaKe tt for grsnted mat ancn is
tht-ir fbjeft owTIf we examine the hi-torv
of theloaninffnolicv In oilier State. It will
befonnd that not a solitary somhern State
which U encacel In Internsl Improvements
and'"' the loanirg or State ail policy pre-
sents or ever did present such a state of facts
in regard to ints subject as exist to-cayln
Texas
In earh of those States the various railroad
companies are made up almost exclusively of
pooed of sonthern men Tbrre it is a matter
between the State and her own citizens s
home affair how stands the matter In Texas?
The fact U notorious that almost the entire
manasemenloi oar roads including tbe very
small amount in coarse of construction and
tbe gigantic amonnt projected on paper and
propelled by vrind at a rapid rte in living
jSortb of Mason and Dickson's line.
This fact alone sir constitutes a broad and
mot marked distinction between the features
nf the loanlnc policy as it is proposed in
Texas and Its operation In the other sonthern
States of this confederacy Everyone know
this to be the case who is at all fmmllar with
the legation of Tennessee Virginia North
and South Carolina and all the other southern
States upon the subject or State aid to rati
ft.iR. and especially so in Geonna. which
occupies tbe iront rank of sonthern States
In the race oi aoTauccratnu it may ue re-
plied that It is a matter of no difference who !
manages these railroad enterprises whether:
citizens of Texasorof tbeXortb This would
have great force. If those who managed fur-
nished the means employed. But I hold that
It becomeo a very different question vhen the
State of Texas and her citizens fnrnlah the
means rft majority or even a respectable
porticn of the means used in the construction
cf her rblic works
Then it becomes the imperative duty or the
State to see that thee persons who bave the
manacementof the works and the applica-
tion of the means should be sneb as are fully
identified In interest feeling and habits with
the citizens of Texas. In short that they
should be southerners actuated by southern
feelings and not northerners actuated by
northern feelings. If ever there was a time
when this should particularly be the cae that
time is the present.
Who arc the stockholders in the railroad
enterprises in the ctate or Texas? Examine
the stock lists and 1 venture the assertion
that a majority of stockholders will be found
to reide north of Mason's and Dixon's line-
will be fcund to be northern men in fact-
northern men in principle and actuated en-
tirely by northern motives As an evidence
of this fa-t Mr Speaker I will state that I
hold In my band a newspaper printed In the
city of IloRion on the 2Sih May last In
which I find the list of stock tat en in the
Galveston and Ecd River railroad ehortly
previous thereto The list comprises forty-
seven names and firms: they are composed
exclusively of residents or the cities of Sew
York and Boston The amount of stock
taken by these persons amounts In the aggre.
fate to the sum of 123 100 3fcw sir this
company have nearly constructed 25 miles a
verv little calculation will therefore show
that this amonnt of stock taken by citizens of
New York and Boston gives them the control-
ing Interest as stockholders. Hnce as far as
that roafl is concerned tbo the directory
would Inevitably be under the control of this
miJoxHy of northern slveUioldara
The same observation will anolr "with equal
force to the Harnsborg corapa ny and to every
other company within my knowledge in Texas

I answer into the pockets of tb'c mencf New

ern States engaged In the Stitc aid policy
into the pockets of their own cilizrns-.
Sir a most singular anomaly is presented
in our legislation I find on my desk a set of
joint resolution reported from the committee
oa slaves anu slavery andoow pending before
this Uoh1 the "paESgeor which has been
most eloquently ahd vehemently nrgtd by
gentlemen who are among the warmest advo-
cates of the Loan bill These gentlemen pro-
pose that wc shall cpproprlate $50 000 to send
emigrants to the Terr tory of Kansas to
counteract the influence and machinations of
these sime citizens of Bton
It is propostd in short on this floofthat wc
shsll appropriate S50000 out of tbe treasury
to defeat this northern iufiuencei and at the
same time the passage of iho loan hill Is urged
which withoct a sabstitnte now before the
HoDt-e would fnrnit-b citizens of Boston

do far better He was followed by John Sayles
Esq- representative from this county to our
Legislature giving his reasons for leaving the
K X party and for his support of the democ-
racy His dissection and comparison of the
two platforms was a masterly effort. Three
of the "Americans" who listened to his speech
as wc arc informed have deserted their old
allies and pledged themselves to Back Breck.
Go on Sayles ut that rate it -will not take you

Sayles was like thousands of others Union

The Texas Ranger of the 11th Inst. aim a
full report of a speech made by Judge Styles
in BrenhanTon tbe Gth Inat. Mr. Sayles said
that scarcely one year ago he had stood be
fore an ondience in tbe same place and com
poed in part of the same Individuals) as an
advocate of the principles of the American
party and that he "still held his commission
as a member of the Legislature elected by
thai party and yet to-day he met them as an
opponent of "the American nominees and tht
pnnciples of their platform and as tht sup
porter and advocate of the Dcmoeratio eaadl-
dates
As the position of Judge Sayles will bt
likely to clidt some comment It is but Justice
to give the report of his own justification:
In explanation of bis coarse and In vindica
tion of nts. consistency he observed that the
ll-VUSIa'TiaUK lUCBiUU IU W MIUBU ID Qe
coming Presldertlal election a question wblcb
eould not be b'inked and upon which no man
ind no party bad a right to be silent was the

Wo wero anxiocely looking for a nail from
Kew Orleans on Tuesday morning in hopes
that it would give ns more reliable informa-
tion in regard to the bloodshed and murder
reported by the dispatches to havo been tak-
ing plaoe in the streets cf Baltimore on tho
6th Inst pending tfco.elcctions of thacity
We were disappointed" in a mail Wc hope
however tho report will be found greatly ex-
aggerated And yet it is a melancholy truth
that such scenes ofa violence and death aro be-
comlny of frequent occurrence of late years
in nearly all the larger cities of this Union
during all our party -elections Indeed it
seems now to have beorco n established
custom for men of both parties t) go to the
polls with conccal'd deadly- weapons .about
them; and before the polls are closed many
Hres arc usually t aerified In tbe attempt to
exercise the privilege cf voting In this land
which boasts of tho freedom of the elective
franchise If these deadly conflicts were un-
premeditated and tho result of passions sud-
denly excited without allowing time for
reason to assert her control then we might
reasonably hope for a sprxdy remedy to this
deplorable state or things-. But tbo trnth
appears to ba that tbesti deiuly conflicts are
determined nponOrforehandc-lhat full prep-
am tion s ate made Tor them In tbe secret meet-
ings of political parties long before the day
of election arrives - A"nd we even hear these
bloody deeds jnEtlfied cither on the ground of
self defence or as the only means to prevent
the glring orjllegil votes and to protect
legal voters In the enjoyment of .their rights
If this last reason be trne name1y( that the
laws governing our elections and regulating
the privileges of the elective franchise can
not be enforced witliont resort to arms under
the secret organization of panies then the
crave qnestion arises Are we not already in
a state of revolution ? This state of things
we believe fa the exact definition of civil
revolution It Is true the forms of onr Gov.
ernment still exist and generally speaking
nnr lawB continue (p be administered Bn
just so far aB outlaws cannot be enforced bj
the regularly consltnted authorities to that
extent we art undergoing a revolution We
arc therefore nowwitiiesing the commence
ment of tbe great 3ramarand we fear it I
hut " the beginning of the end ' The indlca-
fions are Indeed alarming- The present mod(
if deciding elections by means of deadh
weapons and preconcerted organizations ap-
pears to be of recent date But the evil '
increasing from ytar'toyear. Which of th
.wo parties has most of this sin to answer for
we know not. Bat this we do know namelj
that it is attributable to a most dangerous or
rjanixation of parties and to a violence i
party feeling that is Incompatible with tin
peace .the safety and the very existence ot
this Union
Is It not time for all good ci'Izens of al
parties to reflect seriously upon the fearra
roneqaences that must result from such
tato of party violence ? We believe the his-
orjof the world affords abundant evidenc
that nofree governments have long survive'
nch a state of parties where Individuals con
-tltuie themselves the judges of the laws an
their own rights and with arms in theii
hands attempt to control elections by vio
lence and deeds of blooj. It Is gratifying tc
he able to state that as yet Texas has not
been disgraced by sach outrages
Have we enterprise enough to pny one fifth of

avail themselves of this offer though tEej
have been suffering for many years for thi
want of such Improvements Shall we do an
thing or not ? We presume that with a good
dredge boat ready for our use ten thousand
dollars would he ample to remove all tne on
tractions In tho channel bctrecn this city and
tho canal whilo tbe same amonnt (supposing
also we have a dredge boat) would make per-
manent navigation for light draught steamers.
as far as Liberty Oao good dredge boat will
n fact probably do all the work that is b
much needed in both directions and we have
men of great. experience in such work and
with capital too. ready to embark In such en-
terprises and build the most approved kind oi

Its object! to sustain the trade of Houston

Interest of Galveston. It is to accomodate
the planters of the Colorado Valley and those
at other points who would even wagon their
cotton to Houston before they would send it
to any olher market.'
To this the Democrat replies :

Ex President Anson Jones presents a most
deplorable state of things in Washington
coaoty Is It possible that the violence or
party feeling Is such as to arm children for
murderous attacks npon private and unpro-
tected families ? We hope aomo explana-
tion may yet be made of this outrage more
creditable to tbat county which is one of the
oldest and wealthiest and hitherto moat
respectable In the State.
TO MY FELLOW CITIZENS
Aa 1 understand that erroneous statements
have been circulated and false Impressions
sought to he made. In relation to a recent
assault committed npon my family and an
attempted assassination of one of my chil-
dren I deem It a dnty to myself my family
and to you to make the following facts pub-
liclv known
During the last two months threats bave
frequently reached my- yeare of intended
outrages npon my family which emanating
from irresponsible sources I treated with
elleoce disregard and contempt.
On Taeeday- evening of last wcekr (30th
Sept ) when I was absent with my second son
at Brenbam a gang of young men and youth-
In pursuance of those threats came on horse-
back to the side of my plantation and dis-
mounting about 300 yards from and in front
of my noose where Mrs. Jones with two little
girls and a child of six years old were alone
and unprotected made a murderous assault
npon my eldest eon a lad of 15 years who
was at work In the field of which be had
cuargt. The young men remained outside at
tbe fence where they were concealed by a
ravine and the bushes growing upon It and
a boot 20 yards from where the outrage took
ulace; from which point they could see In all
tirectlona and know if any one approached.
rhile two youths abont the age or my soi
came into the field and commenced the at
ack. The assaott was made upon my son a
drat hr the mont abnslve lanaaage and b.
'epredailoaa upon my property; and when
ny son. In obedience to my special orders
irerlously given him went from a dUtance n
several hundred yards to its protection and
0 resent tbe Insnlt to himnelf the pirtj
"fused to leave or to cease their depredations
My son was then met hy one of the yontbr
vfth a clnb In one band and a Urge knife oi
Ugger in the other and while he oVlnc alnn
md unarmed was engaged In a conflict with
bis one. the second youth came behind an'
nnght hold of my son securing his body and
Ws right arm and thus held him until thi
first youth planged his daa-grr into him
timing the Mow directly at hit Juart whicl
Mow wis only prevented from proving fata
y Its beine accidentally arrested by bis let"
inn which was penetrated to tbe bone Dot
ng the conflict and while my son was thai
ngaged ha young men outside came an
howed themselvrs. leaning upon tbe fence
8y this time Mrs Jones who was running a
ast aa she could to our son's assistance cam
it sight when the party at the Fence calico
he two youth away saying 'some one I-
omlng1 and on her reaching the fence a fe
tementa afterwards where oar son wa
vounded and profanely bleeding the who!
arty bid In the bueheaandin the ravine neai
he fence Upon remnnstrattngwith then
pan their inhuman cmelty and mnrderom-
owardlce she waa answered "with the vlles-
buse Her feelings under each trying an
ainful circumstances alone and uuprotecte
ty a single human being with her son m r
ally wounded as she supposed. In her arm-
io language can describe they may b
tmagtned but only so by mothers!
My son as Is well known la one of the mof
I 'i let peaceable and im tensive boys In th
njigbborhood. .That he had never wpmget
-ny or the parties engaged In this attempt
sa3EIuation Is not and has not been even prr-
endedso far as I am aware. I can therefore
nty attribute the cause of this wanton crue
nd unprovoked attack npon my family t.
ersonal and political hostility to myself I
now of no other 1 regret the excitement o(
he times I bave sednloasly endeavored U
eepltlacheck; I would wi-h to do nothina
o increase it; I bave never before bronght m
rivaie wrongs-before tbe public and woulr

lence la to be inaugurated and the attrnct-
tes of Louisville and New Orleans are aboa

ab The following heartrending descrip-
tion of the aocial state of affairs now cxjstlnr
a Kansas we copy from the St. Louis Re-
(mbliean of the 28th alt.
The misguided emigrants who crowded to-
Kansss early In the spring continue to leavt
hat Territory in all directions They aret
e met In scattering companies looking hal'
starved sickly and miserable Many or theni
taving spent all thepooey have gathered
p their little effectsyWd crossed tbe river ti
Iowa on their way to their homes or t
ocate In aome secluded corner of the wilder
lesa. or patch of prairie where they will b
it peace. a
Every boat which comes from the Mlssonr
at among her passengers some of these pet
ile. We saw them once before (n the earl
pringr when they weot op tbe river wit!
fioney In their pockets hone in their heart-
!& in their blood and tbe world befon
them.
T.iey were In companies of hundreds r thj
tad family circles and looked happy the
onk quarters In the c-thins of steamboats
nd partook of the luxury of repose and
ilrnteou table They were thrifty lookim
migrants who would do honor to any new
ountry.
We now see them In squads of tens an
wen ties crippled sickly and apparent'!
poverty atrlrken crowded upoo the decks '
'teamboatt almost hedging: their way lark ti
he homes they left hot a few months befon
tod civil war In Kansas has wrought all thi
nischief doomed many a hopeful heart t.
lespalr and death and embittered the lives A
hundred more whose piteous stones tl
world will never know. 4
The time will come whea the -public mm
will be in a. temper to ask how aud by whim
instrumentality was this distress and mtert
hrought about ? What agency had the Coil'
rressional Aid Society and tbe Massachusetts'
Emigrant AIdBciety and the Bt-echer tit
Silllmans the Greeleys the Q ilncyR the Sum
ners and tbe Gerrit Smith- in reducing tnei-
people and thoosauds of others to beggar

reckoning but one which will as sorely over
take them as that there la a (fod In hesVei
