It was for a political purpose solely ,
audi at first, opposition was made t
the addition of Mr. Maliina to the eorr
roittee, but this was so grossly jado
feusible, that, upon a little reSectio ,
it w is abandoned. *;€>oing on thd con

Bus labored undgr many difficulties ii
preparing his report, which isaece-
sarily imperfect. Still, as far as i;
goes^jt is clear, satisfactory and ui -
answerable. That politics have ha.
jthÍBg to do with any. increase 0;
crime in Texas, so far as the persecu

cerned, is shown beyond a doubt. The
two majority Repofts of the packed
committee haveiaiied toprove a single

murdered or molested on account of
his political views and opinions. The
charge is groundless and highly dis-
reputable to the party which ¡11 ok* it,

;vr, respcctful to the Convention, and
hat his langu tge was parKameatary in
ira: that his -words were weil se-
uicfed and appropriate. His manner of
íspression could offend no one who did
not seek to he offend «ti. Mr. Arm-
strong farther said, it might be thai
the opposition to the minority report is
not to the manner or form, but to the
substance—the matters of fact therein
et forth. If the facts narrated are not
true, why such a sudden commotion in
this body. It seemed to him that some-
thing harts eomebbdy. "It is the truth
rhat hurts and not the lie." Said the
majoriiv report had been spread upon
the journals—beeu published and gone
"orth to the world, condemning our
ellow-citizeus. Said the Conserva-
tives asked that their brief defence be
received and publisttadi that all who
read njay compare and deeide as to
their respective merits; that the rejec-
tion of the minority report would be
construed into a refusal to give a fair
hearing before the Convention and be-
fore the people. He maintained that
the minority report was trae; that it
presented a statement of fects, refer-
ring to the authority, differing only
with thé advocates of the majority re-
port as to conclusions upon the facta.
Said it would be derogatory to the dig-
nity and self-respect of any deliberative
body to suppress its proceedings from
the people. The minority report be-
longs to the people as well as the ma-
jority reports, which were immediately
published all over the State and abroad:
To suppress this minority report would
be in violation of "long established prin-
ciples governing- deliberative bodies.
This report is respectful to the Conven-
tion and parliamentary in its language
—presents facts and conclusions. The
Convention will do well to consider be-
•e rejecting Its refection will not
rengthen the majority report. Said
ajx iL&>nee are signed. The letter referred to
the intpieesnf panic, and the iact that
¿evaral naaies originally put down as killed,

attwly ynreii&bie their report is. No affidavits

,at the CJerk of the House had failed
0 furnish for publication a copy of Mr.
iafiins' Repurt on Lawlessness and

nnivpiranfed the committee were in tttakin,
this inference, I quote- iVoin tbeoEeial ionrnal
of tl?w body, the Daily Austin Hepubliean of
July 11, lh68. Theeditos-fays: ''TheMeKin-

and Doc, Walter, living in the edge of tlnni
county, who were phot from the brash and
killed by some ol the Lee paity.. It seems
that there arc two parties in thai neighbor-
hood, known a the Lee party and the Peacock
party, who employ their time in waylaying
each other tn the brnah, and shooting eaeb
other in a most cowardly cwnner."
The two men Thomas and Doc. Walters,
mentioned by Use editor of the Repabiiean,
were two of the five names mentioned in the
letter to J, W. Thomas, E&q., as stated abo?e,
and were also two of the six Union men nl-
leged to have bean killed for tlieir loyalty, in
the quotation: before made from the supple-
mentary report ol the committee.
It will also be remembered that five of the
six men there alleged to have been killed, if
at all, by this name Lee party; and if the
editor ol the Republican is correct in the
statement above quoted, this killing grew out
of a fend existing between two parties known
as the Lee and i'eaeock parties, "niiod! as he
says, "esalóy their time in waylaying each
other in the brush, and shooting each other in
a most aowarUly manner.5' -j. .
There is no tiling going to show that these
are political parties; but if they were, they
would both be equally culpable, if what the
Hepnblican states is true. But that the true
character of this Lee and Peacock war may be
known, I here insert an extract from a private
letter published in the Austin Daily Republi-
can oi July 15, 1863, and indorsed by that
journal as coming "froip a prominent- Union-
ist in Fannin county." It reads thus:
"Bonham, Fannin County, Texas, >

the Convention, Mr. Bennett (assistant

acs, of Titus, aad asked for the Report,
remarking—they are giving me the
Devil for giving you the Report on Sat-
urday. Mr. Evans asked who were
ceuauring him, -' He said Smith, of
Galvestoa, and W is going to call it up
in the Convention this moruipg.
Smith, of G«^ston,^tóked leave to
read and - put on^Clc á Protest to the
Minority Report of Mr. Mullins, on
Lawlessness and Violence.
Mr. Gienn, rose to a point of order,
stating that the minority Report had
not been printed, and until it shall be
printed and properly "before the House
for action, no protest could be in order.
Why the minority Report had. not been
printed he could'not say—ths* he call-
ed on the official printer of'the House,
who informed him the Report was not
printed because he could not obtain
from the Clerk of the House a copy—
though he had called on him fm It.
The President stated the minority
Report should be published—that he
would give the necessary orders for its
publication.
The Clerk {Radical Preacher,) stated
that the reason that he had not furnish-
ed a copy of tlie Report to the printer
—it was a long document—that he had
given it the same direction he had giv-
en other documents oflike character
and length—that be had no desire to
suppress the Report, but would give out
a copy tb the printer in proper time.

Dkar Judge—1 have the sad task of relating
to yoa the murder of your son Wheelock.
Within the last two months Whealock has
made some trips between this neighborhood
and the vicinity ot Alihcan, driving beeves.
On Monday ,"S:9rh nit., he left this for Miliean,
with a small drove of; beeves, and on reaching
Navaaota he was arrested and put hito jail on
a warrant for stealing beeves from one Btfook-
3hire, of this neighbjrhood. He then sent for
Mr. Gill, my brochsr-in-Liw, who went on his
bond for §500, ana be was tlien released.
From there he weni to' his home, seven miles
from Milkan, where he was again arrested on
another cbarge of tbe came nature. In the
night a band of men surrounded the hou;e,
and caused him and the sheriff, in who®
charge he was, to go with them to Miliean
At Miliean the next doy he was informed that
he would bavo to réiurn to Navasota to be
triod, und a guard wa¡i appointed to take him
there', and about thres o'clock they started
with him. Near close of dey the guard re-
