We are glad to notice that the
State Press is taking hold of the ques-
tion of asssessing and collection of
taxes. As now the whole burden of
government is borne by a part, while
the whole enjoy its benefits. In many
cases taxation is really not in pro-
portion to the property owned, as it
should be under the ad colorem sys-
tem. Individuals hide out thierprop
erties, and in some cases carrv their
evasion of the tax laws to downright
criminality. These men should be
exposed and held upto public exe-
cration. The amount of back taxes,
also, not paid, is said to be enormous,
and in all probability much of it will
be a clear loss to the revenues. The
Bishop Pierce, of Georgia, will
preside over the sessions of the West
Texas Methodist Conference, which
begins in San Antonio the twentieth
of October. Bishop Pierce.was or-
dained bishop in 1854, and at the
same time with Bishops Kavanaugh,
of Kentucky, and Early, of Virginia.
He isnow over fifty years old and is
said to be a very powerful pulpit
orator.
A sagacious individual of the Buck
Eye State has figured out "Billallen’s"
majority in the coming election to be
19,150. This gentleman says he has
never missed the result more than
five thousand. This latter figure
seems to have been very judiciously
selected, for any one who will con-
fess to that big a miss ought to be
considered honest. But we hope.it

nobility of our glorious people.
■ The problem of the relative values
of money and other things, is just
now in that lamentable condition
where the great factor of confidence
is almost entirely eliminated. Real
estate goes begging without a pur-
chaser. Securities heretofore held to
be good, are rejected by money-lend-
ers. Money is hoarded, and profitless
in the hands of some, while with
others it only goes out furtively, like
a spider, to capture some entangled
wight.
At once the proof of the great
abundance of money in a few hands,
and of the absence of confidence in the
usual securities of the country, is the
fact that any amount can be obtained
on what is ranked as first class secu-
rity. The financial storm has driven
capital to this high knoll. The low-
lands are desolate, and the General
Government is blamed for this state
of things by the people all over the
country. This feeling, which is
abroad over the land, has ignored the
traditions of parties, and the lines
are being formed with no reference
to political precedents. It is a great
popular upheaval, and founded upon
the great question of bread and but-
ter.
If it does not succeed in effecting
a change of administration, in the
absence of a great alteration between
this and the next Presidential elec-
tion, it will be a most singular cir-
cumstance. Nothing so disgusts the
American people as a blunder in
finance. All sins may be condoned
save this. The representative Amor,
ican is a faithful lover of the almighty
dollar, and thirst for pelf is a national
characteristic. How great, ‘ then,
must be the popular disgust at the
present condition of affairs.
The people now think they have
discovered a means of temporary re-
lief in a little more paper money, and
they intend to have it, finely spun
theories to the contrary notwithstand-

We appropriate a couple of ‘para-
graphs:
" Such authority has not been given
to the present Convention, nor has
the people1’ ever entertained or con-
ceived the idea that there should be
an interval in their State Govern-
ment, nor be the briefest suspension
in the admistration of the laws. In
adjusting itself to the existing ma-
chinery of government, the Consti-
tutional Convention should be con-
sidered a special and subordinate
body, meeting for a specific purpose,
and that purpose limited by the defi-
residents of this State, and were partners
doing business in St.Louis, Missouri. That on
or about 27th of October, 1874, said Jackson
& Goodrich shipped to him, said Julia, at
Galveston, one car load ot morchandise, con-
sisting of 90 bbls apples, 15 bbls potatoes, 10
bbls onions, and 10 bbls cabbage, to be used
by plaintiff at Galveston, and as was custom- l
ary, said Jackson & Goodrich, about that date
drew their draft on plaintiff for $350 payable
fifteen days after sight, which amount was
intended to cover the probable proceeds of
said car load of freight. Plaintiff’ accepted
said draft when pIesented ; that Plaintif at
the request of said Jackson & Goodrich, per-
mitted said car load of freight to be stopped
at the city of Houston, and the same was sold
for their account, and they (said Jackson &
Goodrich) took and appropriated the pro-
ceeds of the same, leaving plaintiff’ accept-
ance unprovided for. That they appropriated
said proeeeds for the purpose and intent to
cheat and defraud plaintiff out of the amount
of said accoptance. That said acceptance is
