Thursday rnoraing'a railroad traia and
the stages from the Vi'est and oth-3r direc-
tions evinced the f that at least a respec-
table number of del?"aiea to the German
convention were ar iving. At 10 o'clock
they assembled in the Turner's Kail aad the
meetirg being called to order Sir. George
Batlar of Gslrestoa was elected president
pro tan. A committee was then appointed
upon credentials and the conventioa took
recess until they could examine papers
and claLns to representation. About 1
o'clock x. v. tho committee reported in
favor of receiving delegates both formally
and informally and the following delegates
were admitted to scats in tho convention:

The basis of representation wa9 settled

Permanent officers were then elected re
sulting in the selection of Dr. E. Goldman
eff Galveston as president; R. Wieprecht
and A. Buckmeier vice presidents ; Hugo
Lchmana of Houston secretary and C.
Erhard of Bastrop assistant secretary..
A committee of five on resolutions waa
then appointed and the convention ad
journed until 4 p. ic
EVEXIXO 8ES3IOX.
The evening session opened with the
presentation on the part of 3Ir. Walter
Tips of the protest of 163 German citizens
of Comal county against ny action cn the
part of the' convention. Tho presideat
considered the presentation of this docu-
ment by Mr. Tips as informal he not being
e member of the convention. Dr. Iladra
moved it be accepted. We presume he did
this under the impression that it would be
rejected but 'it evidently did not suit his
riends who on the outside evinced the
most restless disposition. Mr. Siemering
wanted the protest rejected without cere-
mony; and as he thought to bring it into
bad odor said that all those who wanted
toseothis wonderful document could read
it in the Democratic Statesman where its
originators bad already secured its publica
tion. Messrs.' Bonnet Schultze and several
other members desired the protest received
but tha further discussion of tho matter was
postponed until the report of tho commit
tee on resolutions was received and acted
upon.
Tho committee handed ia their report
compriaing a preamble and ten or twelve res
olutions. The following wero acted upon
favorably viz. :
We Germans as citizens of this country.
have met in convention at Austin for the
purpose of discussing tho political situation
oi -the State. e do thi3 because tuo uer-
man language which is understood by us
all makes it easier to express our views
ant because in county conventions we can-
not as a minority get at a full expression
of our views.
1. JicMtceil We demand a more liberal
EVf-tem of public schools which thall meet
the wishes of all citizens.
2. lic-ioheJ We demand sufficient protec
tion of the Lie and prorxrtv of all citizens.
3. IZnoheJ We declare ourselves against
all special legislation which cm be settled
by general Ihvts.
"4. Jlewlccd We declare ourselves against
repudiation of every nature.
During discussion of the fifth resolution
on railroad money subsidies the convention
adjourned until 8:30 o'clock a M. to-day.
The question was put in several forms
and much discussion was indulged in upon
the last resolution but it was quite apparent
that the sense of the convention was to treat
it as one outside of politics and belonging
to tho courts.
Tho prime object of this German move
ment was beyond any doubt a Davis en
dorsement move. It waa gotten up by the
friends of the administration and put in the
hands of Germans here to put tho ball in
motion. They did so and in doing it used
the names of many Democratic Germans to
give it popularity. But the long faces of
the Davi4 hangers-on evinced the fact yes-
terday that disappointment had seized
them. They started the ball it is
truo but too many
think have received
convention to allow it
grooves prepared for it
good raen we
position in the
to bo run in the
Wo think there
will be a prompt rejection of all the set
plans and if so it will redoand to the
credit of tho Germans of Texas. That there
are some in the convention who would do
all in their power to carry out the plans ar-
ranged we have no doubt and there arc
lobbyists who vork with desperation but
we think it will be ia xalu. We understand
another document will bo predated tday
showirg tho position of those Germans of
Travis county who did not unite in this call.
Wo must bike occasion to compliment the
body rpoa tLe exceedingly decorous man
ner in which it has p-ococded upon busi-
ness. We find a very largo camber coin-
cide with r.s ia our views upon any separate

After the passage of the resolutions a
committee composed of Gareiscn of Gal-
veston; Siemering of Bexar; Schutze7'of
Travis and the president and secretary of
the convention was appointed to draft an
address to the Germans of Texas. They
reported the following which was adopted:
To tli German-American eiliuiu of Tcxa$
In consequence of tho convention of the
German speaking citizens we the duly au-
thorized delegates and citizens of this State
have assembled at Austin for the purpose of a
general consultation for the best interests of
the State not because we desire to represent
separate interests or a separation from tho
equal rights of other citizens but because
we can express more easily and better in our
mother tongue our wishes and aims and lie-
cause the insufficient knowledge of the Eng-
lish language makes it impossible for a large
number of us to give in tho usual conven-
tions a proper expression of our views.
These-rea-ons we hope will be considered
sufficient to explain our position.
We do not demand anything for ourselves
but we have only the welfare of all the
citizens of this country in view. Our reso-
lutions advocate the inalienable rights of
oach and every citbea of this State protec-
tion of life and property education of the
youth national taxation selection of honest
men for office and the security of civil and
personal liberty.
We submit our resolutions to you in order
that you m.iy weigh them well in your local
organizations and follow them uj uccording
to your be&t Regulations and we ask of you
to submit thc.c principles as accepted by
the convention in every instance to any can-
didate for office for his approval or disap-
proval who asks your support.
Believing it to be the duty of every citi-
zen to take an active part in elections and
to use his right to vote to maintain his po-
lical views we re3pectfully call your atten-
tion to the necessity of a speedy registra-
tion as voters and to the necessity of local
organisations. We hope that this first step
to liarmonize the Germans of Texas will bear
such fruits as may tend to tho welfare of
citizens at large.
Dn. E. Goldmaxx President.
II. Lekuaxx Secretary.
After the passage of the resolutions Mr.
Leisewitz of Brenham presented the fol-
lowing: We hereby declare that should the Dallas
Convention accept the resolutions of the
German. Convention of Austin with a view
to gain the German votes we do not recom-
mend to our German fellow-citizens to sup-
tiort the Republican party until we have
earned the platform of the Democratic
Convention. .
After quite a scene this resolution was
tabled.
The New Braunfels protest was presented
was accepted and a resolution adopted sug-
gesting that tho signers were mistaken in
regard to the purposes of the convention
and that the resolutions passed will be re-
spectfully laid before them for their appro-
val or disapproval.
Pursuant to a permanent organization ai
executive committee was appointed with O.
Gareiscn of Galveston as' chairman and
A. W. May secretary.
After a feeling address by Judge Schutze
and cnother-by the President tho conven
tion adjourned tine die.
To the Germans of Texas
A call has been issued by Germans as
Germans to meet at Austin on Thursday
the seventh of this month as expressed in
tho call
"For the purpose of a free discussion of
the present political situation of the coun-
try ; an expression of our wishes as Amer
ican citizens ; a definition of our position to-
ward the different parties and of uniting on
the platform on which we intend to work
pending the next election."
All Germans without any change of poli-
tics ore invited and the call says it is ad-
dressed "to all the Germans of Texas."
It says there is
"No talk of erecting a German party but
of a union of Germans upon a liberal plat-
form to make use of their rights as citizens
of the United States and of Texas.
"To throw the weight or theia influence
where it will best subserve their interests."
We must be permitted to say that we
deeply regret . that any Germnan in Texas
ever entered into this movement. We re-
spect the Germans as omng our best citi-
zens. They are law-abiding thrifty in-
telligent and just such people as will de-
velop the resources of our great Texas
paradise. But there are also American citi-
zens and whatever public measures affect
them also' affect all the people. Then why
should they meet as Germans?
"Why should they as Germans meet to
determine their position between the differ-
ent political patties? Why should they as
Germans seek to oast a common vote? Are
they not citizens? Can they not act with
other citizens in ward beat and couuty
conventions and also in the State Conven-
tions? True the call says that tho object
is not to build up a German party but let
intelligent liermans look at the call itself
and see the effect of it upon American
minds.
It proposes that the whole German popu-
lation of Texas by their delegates in a State
Convention shall make a platform on
which the Germans shall work and to de-
fine the position of the Germans of Texas
towards the different political parties. It
must be that the projectors of this move-
ment designed and design to so unite the
Germans as a class that the German vote
will be cast solidly.
Already it has been charged that this
movement was projected by Radicals and
whether this be true or false we are relia
bly informed that tho names of several Ger-
mans who were Democrats were signed to
this call without their knowledge; and
whether it be intended to form a German
party or not the movement is most unwise
There are very few naturalized Germans if
any indeed who cannot understand English
well enough to act intelligently with the
English population upon all subjects affect
ing tho public weal and we respectfully
stjctest that for a State Convention it
would bo far better to so act than to hold a
State Convention of Qermans alone to de
termine unon a platform fcr the Germans
and to deune the course of the Germans to
ward the political parties.
I short we see such a want of wisdom in
this movement that we muwt warn tho Ger
mans of Texas airainst it. Let them remem
ber the Know Nothing party and remem
bering let them have nothing to do with
such a movement.
Let our thinking patriotic German fel-
low-citizen eschew tins movement and act
with the party of their choice. If they have
wrongs tho right can only be obtained by a
concert of action by both native and fwr-
eign-bcrn citizens it cannot be obtained by
Germans acti vj at Germans because that
would only array native against foreiga-
born.

Letter from San Antonio.
Sax Axtoxto TexasAugust 5 1S73.
Edi tors Statesman San Antonio can
boast of being the dryest dullest and hottest
place during the summer months in the
State. From ten o'clock in the mornins.
until four in the afternoon a man on the
street is a curiosity. After four a few old
fossils can be seen creeping down the street
on the shady side to the nearest bar room
where they "smile" discuss railroads and
"smile" again until Marmion and Horner
warns them that it is "time to close up"
and this is the history of San Antonio sum-
mers since our earliest acquaintance with
them. We can remember as far back as
1837 and '58 when the same old set slipped
out at the same hour down the shady side
of the street and into the same bar rooms
"smiled" and discussed railroads "till
time to shut up." However they
are now making a desperate effort to
realize their long talked of. road.
The county had a representative meeting
some time ago at which it was determined
to offer Pierce $500000 to completo bis
road to this place within the coming twenty
months with an additional $50000 for
every month from the time of its comple-
tion to tho end of the twenty months ; pro-
vided however that the entire amount was
not to exceed $800000. Yesterday a tele-
gram was received from Mr. Pierce asking
if the geptlemen making tho proposition
thought it could be. carried at the next
county election by a two-thirds vote. A
meeting. was immediately called. Among
those present we noticed Judge Devine
Gen. Knox Judge Upson J. D. Logan Dr.
Kingsbury J. H. Campman and other influ-
ential citizens. After an animated discus-
sion of tho subject for two pr threo hours
a committee of five were appointed with
instructions to say to Mr. Pierce that it
was their opinion that tho proposition
could be sustained by a two-thirds vote
at the next county election. During the
discussion Judge Devine said that a railroad
would increase the value of city property
1000 per cent. when we reflect that lots
WQrth from $200 to $300 are selling at
$1000 and $1200 wo at once concede that
if Judge Devine's words are prophetic that
San Antonio ought to have a railroad at any
sacrifice ; and a few railroads say Pierce's
and the International running into San
Antonio each bringing an increase of 1000
percent. would soon enable it to compete
with Austin in the price of real estate1.
A few days ago the city was thrown into
a terrible state of excitement by the colored
solqiers stationed here who threatened t
mob Capt. W. G. Tobin the proprietor of
tho Vance House. One of their number
it seems had sent an insulting letter to
one of Capt. Tobm's little daughters
whereupon he was taken out tiecj to
a tree and handsomely thrashed the fol-
lowing morning an entire company appeared
before the Vance House and demanded
Capt. Tobin. An hour later quite a num
ber of citizens were on the spot armed to
the teeth who soon succeeded in inducing
the "troops" to return to camp where they
have since remained perfectly quiet.
Cheering reports come from the frontier.
It is said that the Indians have turned out
en masse and are making things lively
around Fort Clark and Eale Pass. The
commander at tho former place has received
a message iroin some celebrated clner say-
g that henceforth their object is not
plumler but scalps. This is considered bad
taste on the part of "Mr. Lo"as he will
thereby loose all the profits of his trade.
Bexar county can boast of but half a crop
this year. The corn is large and fine in the
stalk and blade butf the ear does not fill
out. and twenty bushels per acre will be a
good average W. It. W.
From Round Rock Texan
Rocnd Rock Texas August 6 1873.
Editors Statesman In our neighbor-
hood viz. about one mile and a
half from the village of Round Rock Wil-
liamson county Texas Mr. Jack Hamilton
raised last year on several acres of prairie
land 104 bushels of corn per acre and this
year J873 in tho same vicinity and about
the same distance from Round Kock though
not on the same farm Sir. Otto Weaver
raised 14000 pounds of millet to the acre
and sold it readily at fifty cents per hundred
(which is very low for it) thus realizing sev-
enty dollars per acre in specie. These facts
can be substantiated to the satisfaction of
any reasonable man. Our neighborhood is
not only thus productive but we have fine
health and one of the best high schools in

several workmen recently unearthed the
pttriSed body of a man. From the abdo-
men upward all was in a perfect state of pres-
ervation excepting a portion of the Face
tho right side of which was filled with in-
numerable small holes apparently made by
some insect and presenting a honeycomb
appearance. Merely the outline of tl
lower part of-the body were discernible and
fell to pieces as soon as exposed to the air.
At the right side of the body were found
several arrows stone knives and various
other implements of unknown use includ
ing an oval 6haped stone about three feet
in circumference and a few inches in thick-
ness and covered with several hieroglyph-
ics. Under the left arm was found the
skull of some enormous bird of the crane
pecies.
Tee Xormandy caps which the children
are now wearing have suggested a modifica-
