Yesterday, on motion of Senator

... bill to establish a state university

The normal school business in

' The number of graduates in these

- $10,000 as was recommended.
Thk Senate yesterday refused to
pass the bill creating a stale bureau
of immigration. The vote was In
frvor of the proposition to cause
tho department of Insurance and
History to collect and prepare mat
ter for the information of those in-tjuiriun-
as to Texas, and against
pitying salaries of immigration
aeuts, or making payment of any
kind towards transportation of im
migrants. ' At Columbus, Ohio, the legisla
ture has a tiresome session, and
somebody has started the report
' : that the great irou boilers, under the
' state house, are so weak that they
' may explode. It is unnecessary to
'. add thai the legislature finds occa
sion to do what it has to do in great
haste, for the boilers cannot be re
paired while the body is In session,
and they have to keep on'a full head

the Senate did a most noble act
yesterday. whn. with but t Avr'dis
sentiog voices, it pas-tAT the resolu

women in the rfyntf tkiarun'nt.

Yesterday in tho halls of the Senate
chamber there was awaked a light,
which, fed, will lead poor women in
Texas to feel that she u dUeathrall
cd. that she is saved, redeemed from
that shame, which a cold and false
society forces her to assume because
of poverty aud wretchedness; be
eaiiae of a falf and. foolish theory,
too long prevailing, that women is
fit alone to handle children, or to
cook aud to wash and scrub, to hoe
and pick cotton or to become a sub
iect for prostitution. Woman have
attained brilliance in the world of
letters second to no man, and were
it not for her native purity of pur
pose and of action man would,
long since, have descended to, or
more properly he would never have
been lilted up out of Die position to
which Darwin traced him in the
world's forgotten history. All that
is pure in mau is born of woman's
influence, and let man acknowledge
the truth, and assert tii.it all which
is base in woman is enforced by
man. If her example be for good
iu l he family circle: if her presence
in society lead to its exaltation, why
not lead her in tho business walks of
life, where her pure and honest im
pulses may train man against the
arts of fortrery and swindling,
agaiust defalcation and fraudulent
entries, against land frauds and the
base purposes of mau, aud in favor
of honesty of purpose in public and
in private business transactions.
This resolution, when put in force,
will not opeu tho way. , alone
lo a lew women . find
ing employment in Stale' depart
ments, but the lesson, thus taught,
that woman is suited for clerical
employment will lead to. her em

The- Statesman took occiiion
upou the introduction of Ihrs'itesd
lutiou by Senator Houston,' to 6ni
mend.it to the support of the. mem
bers of the Legislature, and it .is
Gratified that it passed the Senate
with ' such singular '. nnannmty.
Why should not every , avenue to
honorable employment be opened to
women? Are they not as deserving
as the best of men, and when corn
competent, are they not. more so
iu the .essential particular of neat
ness and fidelity? Women never
shirk duty, while men oftentimes
do, aud we doubt not, .that when
this law goes into effect, but that
there will be more work,'bettei done,
of this same kind, than has ever
beeu the case before. Members ot
the House should now hasten to do
this simple act of justice, and there
by pay grateful tribute to her" who,
amid sunshine and storm, amid pros
perity and adversity, beautifully il
lustrates the one, and dMUutlessly
shows the other. Woman fnces pes
tilence, aud by her gentle ministra
tions relieves tho sick and soothes:
the dylng,while brave men, palo and
affrighted, shrinks away. Theirs
are lives ot devotion, aud
that devotion L a devotiou
to duty. There were sound
speeches of exceptional ability made
upou this subject in the Senate, and
yet it Is but justice to say that the one
of Senator Terrell was the speech
of (he day, and the occasion. With
earnest eloqucuco he plead for
woman's right to share in these ben
efactions of the State, and cited the
needs and wants of these of the weak
er sex, whose protectors have fiMcd
soldiers' graves in the various de
partments at . Washington. Tho
Statesman thanks God that the
women of the State have such
advocate on the floor of the Senate
these men who voted aye
ou the resolution .. yester
day, advocates, who will se-,
not ouly that they are protected,
but that those who are competent
shall have afforded opportunities of
being honorably employed, that food,
shelter and the' means of educating
those dependent npon them may be
afforded.

Committer Room,
Alsrix, January 21, ll.
riou. I.. .1. Storey, President of the Sen
ate: Your Judiciaay Committee to
whom was referred Senate bill No.
16. ''having for its object to chansre
the present mode of condemning
private properly for the benefit of
I he railroads, have coqsidered the
same, and instructed me to report
the bill back, with the accompanying
substitute, and to rerommend that
the substitute do pass.
The objection to the original bill
is. that it provides thar a railroad
may proceed with its construction,
pending appeal, bv depositing the
amount of the award of the commis
sioners, or giving bond in donble
the amount lo abide the final judg
ment. The Constitution, article 1, section
17, requires adequate compensation
for private property taken for pub
lic use, to be paid or secured by a
deposit of money, before the pro
perly is takeu. What adequate
compensation may be, can only be
determined by final judgment in
ease of controversy, and it might be
much in excess of the amount de
posited under the award as contem
plated by the original bill. To per
mit the "road to proceed its con-
structiou work and take the proper
ty under such circumstances, would
tic a violation of the constitutional
provision requiring adequate com
pensation to be first paid or secured
The substitute permits the con
struction work to proceed, pending
an appeal, it the appeal be taken by
the railroad.bydeposl ting the anioun "
ot the award of the commissioners;
for the property owner assenting to
the judgment, it might, iu that case,
be safelv 'assumed that the comneu-
mtion'allowed bv the award was at
least adequnle.' '
' It further provides that, if the ap
peal be taken by the property
owner, the' construction work mav
still proceed, on tho railroad, mak
hur a deposit yvith the county clerk,
of the amount which the property
owner, his agent or his legal repre
sentative, may, tinder affidavit (to be
filed among the papers in the cause),
claim he will be damasred bv the
taking of his property; such amount,
it may be sately assumed, would
also secure adequate compensation,

EX PARTE PROCEEDINGS.
The Republicans have lately held
to the theory that Congress has not
plenary ftutHority to count the votes
for President, aud to decido which
votes shall be counted and which
not. Thi3 departure was from an
old and well established coustltu
tional usage, and it is now claimed
that the President of the Senate shall
do the eouuting, and that the houses
have no right to conut or to decide
as to the count. This was the theo
ry four years ago when Hayes wa
to be counted in. nud if is the doc
trine' now, . and .has given, rise to
much contest over the question in
the Senate betweeu Democrats aud
Republicans. Ou the 4th day of
February the electoral count biil
was before that body for considera
tion, and to the surprise of all. Mr.
Coukling, leading a few others,
changed front and voted with the
Democrats.and the'Democratic prop
osition to hold to the old plan was
carried. Coukling, with a grandeur
that few men can attain as he does,
admits that certificates must be sent
to the President of the Senate, and
that lie'uiiist take care of them and
bring them into the presence of the
two houses aud opeu them. Buthere
the authority expressly deputied to
him ceases; here fcthe constitution
turns its back on him and speaks of
him no longer." Wuen the certifi
cates from the states are opened
some of them may be found irregu
lar in form; some may be apparent
ly illegal; they 'may show on their
face a failure to comply with the
law, as iu the forthcoming ease from
Georgia; they may cover votes sus
pected to be fraudulent: there may
oe two ceruucate8 trom the same
state. The Republicans have held
that the President of the Seuatc
must decide, and now their Jupiter
lonans abandons them in their false
theory. The President of the Sen
ate, he assertf, is an agent, and does
what he is directed to do in a minis
lerial capacity, possessing no judi
cial authority in the premises, but
the two houses do have a quasi
judicial authority to determine all
questions of legality that may arise,
and to-decide what are votes of a
stale.; If Ihe President of the Sen
ale has this power, then there, is no
use for tellers appointed by the two
houses, and. t hp presence of the two
houses;; -eveh -U superfluous. " This

inc taw authorized the governor
to enforce the terms upon which the
loans were made, or to satisfy the
state by sale, the Jstate, holding first
mortgage liens. The Houston &
Texas Ceulral.BiifLulo Bavou Brazos
& Colorado, under " law ' passed
in 1864, made payments of railway s,
about $'250,000 , in state warrants
issued during the war. The consti
tutional convention of 1876 declared
all debts made directly, or indirectly
in aid of the war. not biuding, and
upon this issue the qustion arises
whether these railways did or.did not
pay so much of their indebtedness.
This matter claims . the attention
of the present legislature, t
Thk Gaivestou Jom-nat makes a
terrible acknowledgement when it
says:
Somc people seem lo imagine
that there is but one place along the
Texas coast at which a vessel ot any
magnitude will ever land for n car
go, and that place is Galveston.
They think so, because the re are two
lines of railroad that terminate
here, aud that these lines conucct
with every railway route in the
state. They forget that there are
two or three railroads in the course
of construction that are headed for
Sabine Pass. They forget that these
roods are backed by , millions of
money, and are managed by Eastern
men who are playing for" millions
more, yvhich they expect to realize
from . the investments . they j are
making. They forget lhat Sabine
Pass can be made. a splendid harbor
for ; as . little , money as any
point aloug the Texas coast; and
lastlv, they, forget thai with live
hundred miles, of Texas railroads
terminating at tliat . poiut and di
rectly eonuected with the railway
systems, of the great West the work
of., erecting cotton -presses, ware
houses, and - wharves : will ..follow
surely, and speedily the completion
of. roads aud .improvement of the
harbor. AVhen Galveston begins to
waue; when one-half. of its trade
is turned to Sabine, and the well ma
tured prejudices that have prevailed
against this place for years begin to
glorify themselves in triumphal
praises of the "latest metropolitan
wonder," somebody, .will begin to
hunt up the causes that produced
these effects. . -
Cotton, in an elaborate , article
on cotton manufacture in ihe South
says: ' ' "':'-' ' '
"These obstacles are all of u char
acter that can be overcome . with
comparative ease, and they certain
ly will be overcome in a few years.
The -victory will be practically won
as soon as Northern capitalists are
aroused to the fact that in spite of
ail obstacles they can earn say even
iu per cent, on their investment in
mills at the South, as compared with
8per cent, on Northern mill stocks.
We : believe that where the same
amount of enterprise and energv is
bestowed in each case, a greater
difference than 2 pec cent, can be
made iu manufacturing at the South
over manufacturing at,, the North.'?
Conoress will Jitiye lo appropri
ate about $70,000,000 far pension
purposes. Mr. Atkins declares that
the pension laws, as they how exist,
will add a thousand millions to the
public debt. A bill was before the
House tor the relief of the widow
oi t:apt. Jingh .N. 1'age, but it was
withdrawn because of the savage
assaults ou the character of the de

The proposition of the. States
man firm lo print the journals of the
House did not apply to the publish

including resolution, and reports.
There is a bonded contractor, who
claims the. right to print all nies

and the House, aud the state printing
board has decided that this work

youthful ambition, the eonlinual
source of its manly vigor, and. if it
should prematurely fall, these feel
ings clothe as with a drapery of
romance and fascination, its dilapi
dated ruins, and shed a beneficent
light over its departing glories. It
is, perhaps, one of the least attract
ive and most melancholy features of
a popular government that it treads
with ruthless oblivion upon the
graves of those yvho have labored
and gone, aud in the bustle of pres
ent necessities, ignores with almost
thankless derision the victories and
achievements df a" former genera
tion." In this. age, nud in this coun
try," patriotism has well nigh lost its
meaning save as an abstract virtue
of doubtful propriety, while a propo
sition to commemorate by a per
manent token the respect due to the
founders and builders of our gov
ernment and its fortunes, is very
generally dismissed with a hoiuily
on the extravagance of popular
gratitude. . Ainid such appa
rent apathy of feeling, it is re
freshing to meet with au oc
casional exhibition of surviving
regard for the traditions, memories
and trophies of the past. No more
conspicuous and praiseworthy in
stance of such regard has beeu seen
in Texas, than the message ot Gov.
Roberts, lately transmitted to the
Legislature, recommending that: the
Male should purchase the portraits
of the Goveruors of Texas, now on
exhibition in the Capitol. It is sin
cerely to be hoped that this sugges
tion will meet with favorable action
on the part of the Legislature. A
more proper and commendable ac
quisition can scarcely be imagined.
The portraits are twenty in number,
beginning with Gov. "Smith, first
provisional governor . during the
early revolutionary struggles of the
colonists,and including all the subse
quent executives, both of the Repub
lic and State, to the present admin
istration. . Ihe artistic.exocutiou ot
this collection is beyond doubt
excellent and faithful. : As , the
observer stands- before 'this
gallery of distinguished ; men,
famous in the military aud civic an
nals of the state, whose impress up
on the legislative, judicial and politi
cal history ot Texas constitutes alike
their title to remembrance and the
monument of their fame, he cauuot
fail to call to mind the chequered
and eventful incidents with which
thev have been identified in the
short but fateful career of this great
commonwealth. Burnet, whose rug-
ffed manhood and bold, practical
udgment carried the Republic
through the perils ot its- birth, and
directed its first footsteps ou the
pathway of national existence;
Houston, whose sword carved out
an empire, and whose sagacity and
statesmanship shaped its destinies
and guided its growth ; Anson
Jones, the' last president, whose
magnetic eloquence lent a romantic
splendor to the transition from . re
publie to state; Henderson, one ot
the best, as he was one of the wisest,
of men ; Hamilton, the Jupiter To
nans of the Texas forum, the grand
eur of whose oratory' threw a spell
over ipublic assemblages and illu
mined the' halls of justiee these
with Bell, Runnells, Murrah and
Clark among the dead, . and Pease,
Lnbbock, Throckmorton, Davis,
Coke, Hubbard and Roberts among
the living, are all' portrayed with a
fidelity to natnre nncf trtithf illness
of detail that stamp the artist mas
ter of his work. To the accuracy
aud life-likeness of the" portraits of
those whom he has seen and known
the writer of this can most heartily
testify, while those familiar with
the originals of the entire collection
arc strong in their praises of the
painter's success and skill. Indeed
the labor and difficulty of the work
must have been immense, when it
is considered thai in many instances
the only materials in the artist's pos
session were old pictures, failed
with time, defaced by handling and
originally defective through the in
ferior photography of a quarter of a
century ago. From these mea
ger and unsatisfactory sources,
coupled with the kind suggestions
and . information of those who
had known the originals, he has con
structed a series ot portraits that no
one can fail to examine with inter
est, and admire with candid enthu
siasm. If the pictures are worthy iu
themselves, the painter is no less
worthy in the labor he has done and
hopes to do. If we are correctly in
formed, he is a Texan born' and
bred, inured to labor and struggling
for a livelihood and eminence in a
profession for which his conspicuous
talents' have singularly fitted him,
and in which genius and ambition
may find no t rival or fleeting re
wards. It is no illusion of the im
agination to cherish the hope and
belief, that Texas may yet be the
home of all the arts, alike those
which adorn and beautify, and those
which add wealth and comfort to
civilization; and it would be alike a
worthy, a patriotic and a generous
act to reward and encourage
the first efforts of those among
her sons who have shown
themselves willing and compe
tent to worship at the shrine of
the Muses. But it is for their his
torical value as permanent posses
sions of importanceand interest to
every future generation of Texans,
that we most earnestly desire their
purchase by the 'state -Ono by one

the elder Pitt, in "s great speech
on the' coudtict of' the' ;Aniorican

ry of England's great slatesmen, of
former times to attest the justice of
his iosition: and, pointing, to Ihe
storied tapestry whereon Lung the

effect, for in the faco of' the

on the walls of her Slate House, and
