duties of our State government: To establlisehan effiolent system of free sobhools, to be sup-ported by a liberal appropriation of publicrevenue, in additio to the Income of the per-manentsochool funtd and to suppress ad pun-ih violence and mob law of every description.

We also hold it the duty of the State govern-ment to invite and encoueage Immigration inour State. We denounce the Democratic partyof Texas for Infllitina pon, the State ob-noxious measures known as Banday and bellpunch laws, regardIng the former as restrictive

of personallberty and the latter as a piece of,'bbery tprojeoted In the Interest of speculators,

andl we favor the re-enactment of the Sundraylaw previously In force.

We denounce the present ocupation tax andthe manner of collecting the same as oppres-si•e and unjust.

The Democratic party of Texas deserves thecensure of all good people of the Ltate, on ao-count of the reckless. extravagant and expen-sive method by which said party has attemptedto administer the State government since it hadcontrol of the the same, as particularly in-stanced in the creation and establishment ofuseless and expensive offices. which are createdsolely for the purpose of rewarding politicalfavorites, without any regard whatever for pub-lic necessitles or the wishes of the people.

Mr. Newcomb moved to receive the report anddischarge the committee, as he did not believethe convention wanted to have their resolutionsburied in a committee.

Mesers. Campbell and Traoy opposed die-cbsraing the committee.

Mr. Newcomb took the ground that no meas-ures should be adopted preventing the friendsof Grant from expressing their opinions if theywanted to do so.

The platform was adopted and the committeeretained.

The committee to select four delegates-at-large reported E. J. Davis. Ed. Degener. Wm.UDderatock and A. B. Norton.

A resolution was introduced by J. A. McKee,as follows:

"Whereas, we believe that the best interest ofour common country demands the steady handand manly purpoess of Grant as chief Ex-ecutive, and we also believe that he does, in hisaccomplished achievements, in his theoriesand patriotism commend himself to the bestheart, best unaerstandilg and beat manhoodof this nation- therefore be it

"'Resolaed. That we deem it our duty to in-struct our delegates to the national conventionat Ohicago to vote for him to boocome our stand-ard-bearer in the approachinf presidentialcontest, and they are hereby so instructed.

The reading of the resolutions created anextraordinary sensation, although it was ex-pected. Everybody in opposition to Grant wasbetter organized than the Grant men, and be-gan submitting a series of compromise meas-ures.

Dick Allen. colored, said he had been chosena delegate but for one did not expect to be sentin an envelope. Instructing the delegation ren-dered it nueless to go to Chicago. It was onlynocessary for the convention at Chicago to readthe resolutfin of instructions and cast the vote,f Texas. He continued: "I am one yon can'tinstruct. My district has more confidence inwre than to tie my hands in that way. This ideaof Instructing comes from Northern Texas,where you haven't enough Republicans to makeup a delegation to this convention; but in ourcountyr. where we have a Republican majority,It is not asked. I don't want Grant men totrammel us. You can't buckle a collar on me.I am a better Grant man than the man whomakes the resolution."

Jasper. colored, of Marion, held that if theconvention selected men worthy of confidenceto o to Chicago it was an insult to instructthem, or, it we instruct, to require their at-tendanco, when they can vote by mail. He ad-mired Grant,but it was wrong to cram these in-structions down the throats of the del gatee.

Ouney, colored, of Galveston hoped the con-vention wouldn't run wild. "What's the use toie the hands of the del-gates? I have b"en

named as adelegate, but my distrier, in doingso. required no such pledge, and I saw this con-venteo" has no riht to iastruet tme."

It Cannot Safely Be Abandoned in1880.

With a desire to show the connection of thetwo-thirds rule with National Democratic OCn-vo•tions in forwer wears. we have obtainedmuch valuable data, which are particularlyinteresting at this time. In view of the faotthat the delegates to be sent to the Clnoin.nati Convention are expected to bear with them

instruotions from their constituents as towhether It be desirable to continue the two.thirds rule longer in force in National Demo-eratic Conventions.

The National Demooratio Convention oftes4 met at Baltimore May in and after theelection of a chairman, Mr. ltomulns M. Baun.4ers, of North Carolina, rose and said. Inas-much as he had been a member or the conven.tions of IR19 and Iass, whose snleotions hbd metwith the approving voioe of the people, he fa.vored the adoption of the rules of said conven-tions for the government of the present body.Men•rs. Cave Johnson, UllfRrd of Maine, Cot-quilt o! Georgia. and Hlokins of Virginia, oblooted. propoeing that the convention shouldbo more completely organitod. etc.

After some remarks by ttonator Robert J.Walker, of Miisisslppi, Mr. Staunders withdrewhis motion, avowing his determination to re-new it e soon as the convention was oraunised.

A'ter the report of the Commlttee on Crede,.tints was adopted a committee was appointedto recommend offloer of the convention, andthe i Mr. ttaunderp renewed his Iotlin.

Assuming this to be true, forthe sake of the argument, and blleving, gs hefirmly did, that it was true, how did the presentcase compare with that of 1832 or that of 1ea15Not at all. n conclusion Mr. Butler was sorryto find Mr. Walker and Mr. tounders referringto the precedent of 1840-thle log oabin, hard.older, coon-hunting precedent o81940. He depre-cated the adoptlon of the two-tblirds rule, whichmust have the effect of preventing any nomina-tion, or of driving the majority of the conven-tion to yield to the minority. Mr. Butler closedby withdrawing hie amendment.

Mr. 8aundere's amendment.and said if anygentleman could not set two-thirds of the con-vention his election could not be hoped for andthe Whgla candidate- Mr. Olay - would beelected.

Mr. Dickinson did not believe the two-thirdsrule in existence, and the very propoesitlon toestablish it proved that it was not.

The proceedings of the Democratio NatIonlConvention at Baltimore. July 9, make no allu-sion to the two-thirds rule. The conventiosmerely indorsed the platform of the LiberaliRepublloin Convention held at Oineinati sweeks previously and on a formal bllot Hoatce Greeley and B. Gratz Brown. Liberal Be.ublioan nominees, were nominated by ths

Democratic convention, eaoh receiving on irstballot nearly a unanimous vote.

A dispatch to the New Orleans DxnocaAT.daed Bt. Louts_ June 28, 1076. ass:

-A few hours here are all that s necessary tosatisfy the looker-on that there is nop organizeeffor•t of rest force for any candidate exceptTllden. The audacity of his supDporters sweepseverything before it and makes the mentioiother names puerle. His friends olaim inomination on the second ballot, with the rea l-site two-thirds, for the two-thirds rule willbeadhered to."

On the day the convention met (June i7). andimmediately after a temporary chairman BeGbeen chosen. Mr. Abhott. of Mass•cusetmoved a resolution adopting the rules of thlast National Convention, until otherwise or-

yes I It so. all right.) (Applause)The air announced that t die. and the

olution was adopted. It any doubt could exoncerning the two-thirds rule, such doubi

moust e removed when it is shown by thethentic proceedings that on the brst ballotden received ninety-tour more votes thanothers, and another ballot was taken when hewas nominated by a vote of more than two-thiras of the total number east.

Thus have we given the historical facts be r-Ina upon the ouestion of continuing in force ostwo-thirds rule in the eonvention to meet atC-incinati in June next.
