To the l)cmocrif j of TcXi: " V
On the second day of December
1S73 you will have an opportunity of show-
ing to the world what you can do when
permitted a free ballot. At no period since
the close of the war have the people of
Texas been permitted to go freely to the
polls. Ia 1S;; it is true that there were
no "police" to overawe the citizen and keep
him from the polls but thousands were still
laboring under the crushing weight of the
defeat of our arms an 1 sought only for re-
pose and fjueit and thereiore Tuased to
take any part in aCVirs of State. The cares
and con';!:cU :tice that time are too familiar
to occupy your time with a recital of them.
. There are tiJ' in the affairs of men and
nation that when takea at the flood do
not always lead to fortune. Public opinion
fur twelve months prior to the meeting cf
the Cincinnati Convention had. decided
that the Baltimore Convention should take
up the Cinc innati nominee.
Therefore when .Ir. Greeley was nomi-
nated the heart of the patriot and Demo
crat sank. The liberal Bepublican party
uaa lorcea a man oi. us that had warred
against us for nearly forty years and had
forced the Democratic nartv to sit still and
hear his record attacked without tho power
or inclination to defend it. IJencc thou-
sands remained away from the election and
refused to vote. It were useless to recount
the acta and deeds of misrule and folly of
the Iladical party for the last four years.
They arc too fresh. . j
I ront a State free of debt you find the
country burdened with obligations; from
a treasury overflowing with money you find
creditors hourly turn away empty; from
set of. officer whose civil administration
ga'C q iltt ami repose to society you have
uad a fc.-t of vagabond police to do the work
assigned to civil officers; for a judiciary
whose administration carried conviction
and gave satisfaction even to the unsuccess-
ful you have Lien whosedecision and judg-
ments are things for sport by all classes.
Will you be liierated from these wrongs?
Will you correct these abuses? Will you
again have men for public agents who will
regard themselves us your servants and not
as your matters? Will vou assume what
belongs to you and teach the world that
in order to have peace good government
and a contented happy people you only
demand to be governed less. If you will
accomplish thesj thiugs then go to the
polls and make use of the only means at
your command to accomplish these great
cuds. I trust tliat you will remember that
no leader can carry you to victory without
your earnest active help.
I recommend a closer and more thorough
organization of the party. It is hoped that
each District and County Executive Com-
mittee will go to work at once and extend
the organization until itpene rates every vo-
ting precinct in the State. I especially ap-
peal to each chairman both district and
county to go at once earnestly to work
and let us have the party so thoroughly or-
ganized that we can by a little correspon-
dence tell our voting strength in the State.
We make no appeal to the ltadical party
b it we do appeal to all men who have the
welfare of society at heart no matter of
what nationality or race to go with us and
assist in placing in office men of ability
moral worth and integrity and who will
not u" the power placed in their hands for
individual aggrandizement or for the pro
motion of party ends.
lour standard bearers arc men whose
character and worth you may defend with
out a blush and jvho will never forget that
tlit-v i i- r- .in of the t-- ple. Do n -t

tO lilt
I'itri the Kadu-al party will never
agitin oi'g.tmzc with tho boast and hope
that we will qnarreJ and that in conse
quence thereof it may again secure power.
Without in I lie slightest degree detract-
ing from others I especially commend to
the country your nominee for Governor. In
him you have a patriot a statesman and a
gentleman in all things worthy of your
warmest support.
I invite suggestions from aud the co-
operation tf the other members of the Exec-
utive Committee.

Twelfth ami Thirteenth Lc&UIaturea.
rro:n' tho Waco Examiner.
Kl MEEK FOUB.
The Radicals claim that the Thirteenth
Legislature occupied its whole time in the
passage of special laws to the great ex-
pense and detriment of the interests of our
people. They seem to forget as do some
thoughtless traducers of our own party
that no Legislature representing the people
of Texas had sat since the days of 18G0
that private claims aud interests requiring
legislative action had been forced to slum-
ber and wait for long years and that no
app'.v.l could be made by our people to the
'lweifth Legislature with any hope of re-
lief for two reasons: 1st we did not have
tho money to pay them for this necessary
work; and 2d they invariably refused their
assistance unless the money was forthcom-
ing especially if tho application for relief
camo from a Democrat.
This practical hintu naturally forced a
vast accumulation of this species of legis-
lation to await litter times which came
with the advent of the Thirteenth Legisla-
ture and each member took his seat charged
with numberless commissions of this sort
from his immediate neighbors and constitu-
ents. Notwithstanding this untoward cir
cumstance the Thirteenth Legislature suc-
ceeded in adjourning after passing only
aiKtut one-lit If ns many special acts as the
Twelfth. Here is the record the two
bodies have left behind them on tho- subject
TWELFTH LEGISLATURE.

The re nlcr can examine for himself the
published laws of tho .two bodies and see
for himself if mv t'gures are correct. If
he examines critically he will find that
Mr. Jimmy IN'ewcomb. in the publica-
tion of the laws nf the Radical Legislature
was always careful to publish as General
Laws all acts authorizing counties to lew
special taxes issue Ixmds etc. while this
satue functionary in tho publication of the
laws parsed by our last Legislature has
been equally careful to publish these kinds
cf acts us Special Laws. I have counted
thirtv-nine of these acts passed bv our LeT-
i! ature of last winter which if passed by
a R.idicai body would have been classed as
general laws ami my examination was by uo
means exhaustive.

The twelfth plank of the ILvdUal plat-
form condemns the indiscriminate squand-
ering of the public domaia by the Thir-
teenth Legislature to a large extent upon
purely- fjHxrulative and worthless corjra-
tions. This is a string that Jta freq-uutly
been twanged by Radical Ccgers. uikI it is
really a pity to Lave it snapped. Who is so
forgetful among us as not to recall to mind
the fush times (with them) of 1ST0-1 when
railroad corporations were manufactured by
their Legislature to order and went lagging
for buyers not only ia Wall street but tvin
in the humbler streets of our home cities
and towns? W'hy bless us every little
Radical inhc State went to Austin and if
he could not . get an oiUce he invariably
had him a charter fixed up with Ids name
inserted as one of the incorporators. Here
is a specimen 'taken from page 81 Special
Laws called session 170:
SCTIOX 1.' Be ii tnac'udbj tlic Ijiji.t-
ture of the tsiuU of Tcfin That John G.

road Company" etc . .' ' .
Was ever such an array of specuhitive
dead beats named together before m the
uno connection? Axd this list is a gocd
representative list ot all other incorporators
named by them. They created twenty-nine
just such companies. "The Thirteenth Leg
islature created only thirteen railroad incor-
porations and the character and ttanding
oi the parties therein named as incorpora-
tors arc in striking contrast to the above
almost in every instance men of character
tanding wealth and influence.
4 Rut they qu"ndered the public do-
main." lias any of it gone disappeared
T.mished? Did these speculative creatures
of the Thirteenth Legislature boldly pick
up the dirt and march off with it in their
pockets? Has any corporation created bv
the last Legislature acquired title to a foot
of our public lands? Hardly. Not an acre
passes from us until we have a correspond-
ing amount of railway finished and in ope-
ration to show for it. Not even a certifi-
cate is issued until then. The voice of our
people spoko in the last election and they
said "use our lands to aid us in having
proper transportation." Their voice was
heeded by their servants of the Thirteenth
Legislature and lines of railway were
chartered for all portions of our great State.
Lands were donated them conditionally
and proper restrictions were in every in-
stance retained by the wisdom of our ser-
vants in our hands for our protection from
undue exactions. God speed the day when
every available foot of our public domain
is gone for then the iron horsn will dash
proudly over every section of our great
State carrying our productions to market
and bringing in return the wealth and peo-
ple of other lands to swell our population
and intensify our greatness and happiness.
X orty-iour million acrea of our public do
main are laid carefully away to endow our
common schools and to educate our chil-
dren. A like amount is available for aid to
works of internal improvement. We lay
no taxes and pay out no money for this;
but when the work i3 done wc give dona
tions of alternate sections of land of little
value to us but by reason cf these internal
improvements our already magnificent
school fund is doubled and quadrupled.

IZtd Tien and the Grizzly.
Mr. J.cquin Miller-in his book entitled
"Life Among the Modocs" has given some
picturesque sketches of Indian life and tra
ditions. Among much other interesting
matter he tells us that the idea of the cre-
ation of tho world as it was entertained by
the Modocs now verging on extinction in
accordance with the demands of modern
civilization was this: The Great Spirit
made Mount Shasta first of all. He pushed
down snow and ice from the skies through
a hole which he made in the blue heavens
by turning a stone round and round till he
made this great-mountain; then ho stepped
out of the clouds on to the mountain top
and descended and planted the trees all
around by putting his ranger on the ground.
The sun melted the snow and the water
ran down and watered the trees and made
the rivers. After that he made the fish for
the rivers out of the small end of his staff.
He made the birds by blowing some leaves
which he took up frpui the ground among
the trees. After that he made the beasts
out of the remainder of his stick but he
made the grizzly bear out of the big end
und made him master over all the others.
Having done that the Great Spirit converted
Mount Shasta into a wigwam and its. vol-
canic eruptions ure the outcome of the lire
that he lights in the centre of the moun-
tain. The development of man was a later
occurrence. The daughter of the Great
Spirit venturing too far got astray aud fell
into the power of the grizzly bears and she
was forced to marry one of them und the
red men were the fruit of the marriage.
These red men were taken under the protec-
tion of the Great Spirit; but the grizzlies
were punished by being compelled to walk
on four feet and whereas before they had
walked on two. To this day the grizzly
bear is never slain by the red men who re-
cognizo in him a sort of kinsman.
Tli Indian Territory.
From the Little Rock Oazette.
In another column we publish an article
from the Fort Smith Jndejtendmt giving a
gloomy picture of affairs in the Indian coun-
try. It is from the pen of Judge Wheeler
who has lived in and around the Territory
forty years and is familiar with what he
states. Robberies murders and arsons are
of daily occurrence and notwithstanding
the large force of United States deputies
kept almost constantly in the Territory to
arrest the guilty parties tho crimes seem to
increase. The fact is the Indian country is
now the rendezvous of all the horse and
cattle thieves the murderers and roughs of
all kinds who have been compelled to ficc
from the States to keep out of the reach of
the law. Indian laws as administered are
inadequate to protect the people of that
country from these bad characters and it is
impossible for a few deputy marshals to ar-
rest and bring all of them to justice. It is
time something was done to stop these daily
outrages. Not a paper published on the
bonier do wo receive but contains an 'ac-
count of from one to twenty murders or rob-
lerics. One Indian was recently hung at
Fort Smith for murder; two others arc sen-
tenced to be hung in October and there are
several now in our penitentiary ; but the
small number of offenders punished com-
parvd to the crimes committed is really
fearful. It is time for the government to
act. No sentimental feelings should longer
restrain Congress from doing its duty. A
Territorial government and the placing of
Indians oa the same footing with citizens
of the United States the opening up of the
Tctritory to white settlement and the ad-
ministration of the same laws there as in
the States is the only remedy and Congress
had as well face this fact first as last.

To Boards of School Directors State of Texas:
. Your attention is called to pftttion 22 of '"An act to
establish and maintain a system of public free schools
in the State of Texas" passed May Ti 1S73 as follow!:"
Section 24. The board of school directors of each
county shall require the trustees .of each school dis-
trict immediately after their election to take the.
scholastic population of the district making separate
lists of the white aud colored children.-. 'Said board
shall also require said trustees to provide the necessary
schools ana school nouses lor the scholastic popu-
lation of the respective districts separating the chil
dren aud so arranging the schools and school houses
that pood order peaae ami harmony may oe maintained
in the school. Said trustees shall employ competent
teachers for all the schools in their respective districts
andsecthui the schools are taught aud properly con-
nucrea ior ni muti iimr iimhiiiih iu nit; jcari rvri'ict
tbe free schools may continue for a longer period than
four months if the amount of tho school fund is sulll-
cient or if the citizens of the district or subdistrict
by payment of tuition or subseriittion will supply tho
deficiency; and if the income derived from the public
school fund apportioned to the school disii nets shall.
in any district not be sufficient for this pnrpose the
hoard Of directors shall levy an ai valorem tax upon
all taxable property in said district sullicicut to supply
tue ocnciency.
section ii or tncaoove cited act requires tne Mate
Comptroller to keep a correct abstract of the schol-
astic population in the different counties of the State
etc L jon application to that otlicer ior a consolidated
re(Mrt of the scholastic inhabitants he informs me
that only eleven counties in thia State have made fnll
scholastic returns for the year ending Ausust 81 1873.
For the previous year only thirteen counties had made
complete returns within l-hu time prescribed by tho
school law or isw.
To enable this office to comply with section 9 of the
present school lawin .apportioning the school fund as
reouired bv said section. Boards of School Directors
will without delay enforce in their respective counties
that provu-lon of section 'l requiring trustees "to takb
the scholastic poruLATioN " of their district.
Count v Superintendents will furnish to the State
Comptroller and to this- office consolidated reports of
the scholastic census as taken uy mo trustees at the
earliest moment possible. .
In counties-where school directors have resigned
and others have been appointed in their stead the s;c-
retary of each board will forward to this ofilco the
names of euch persons their postofllce addresses and
a eertifled copy of the order of the county court nnder
which they were appointed as well as their position
on the board if subsequently elected to the office of
president or secretary. The names and postoflice ad-
dresses of truster with the number of their precincts
and school districts will be forwarded to this ollice by
County Superintendents with a statement showing
whether they have been elected or appointed.
School Directors appointed by county courts before
entering on their duties will take and subscribe the
constitutional oath before some person authorized to
administer oaths and send the same to this ollice for
file.
The Attorney General having decided that the posi-
tion of School'Trusteeisuot nu ollice wiihiu the mean-
ing of section 1 article XII of theConstitution.no
oath of ollice is required from them lionco females
as well as males cau till that position.
Section 4 of article IX of the Constitution is hereby
published for the information of School Trustees by
which it will be seen that no distinction can he made
in the pay of male and female teachers other than that
arising from superiority of qualification:
"Article IX Section 4. The Legislature AaV estab-
lish a uniform tjfgUm of public frei school through-
out the Slate."
When it is born in mind that no apportionment of
the school fund for the current year can be made until
the consolidated scholastic census returns shall have
been received themportanceof making these returns
promptly cannot fail to be perceived. .
All necessary blanks for school officers and teachers
will be forwarded in a few days.
