application of "this language to the judg
ment of theAu^hc, I shall merely re
mark, if Captain Tillman saw any fun in
my last letter it must have been of a very
peculiar kind to provoke a reply in
which the compass of his complaints
ranged from the heavens above, which,
he clkimcd, would not open ard shut
when they ought to havp <dojio so and

now jHinneates our entire government

elevep lawyers in the Senate “should
have daierred to the opinions and wishes
of the farmers outside of the Senate,
who had met twice in convention and
asked certain things, rather than to th*
partisans and tools \flthin it.” In his
letter of March 21. he says, in regard to
a resolntiorfoffered in his April, conven

ing was absolutely necessary for the
proper discharge of tho duties of the
department. It not only contains the
usual department offices, but furnishes
ample room for the extensive chemical

$10,000 more ior tho building than it
cost, whicli! including repairs, amounts
to $24,092.62, and is now valued at
$35,000.
The other three undertakings above

show Captain Tillman’s ignorance ami

takings of the board, some of which
have been questioned by more than one
of the “weekly newspaper" statesmen,

uot concur iu the last branch of this sec-
oud section of tho report, but sustained
the master in the first, holding that the
liability of the wife was fixed by the
tportgage, and he ordered a foreclosure.
The Supreme Court says: “The main
question in the case is as to the liability
of the wife on her mortgage,, or rather
the liability of her separate estate for a
debt contracted by her husband, to
which she was a party, and' to secure
which she executed tho mortgage in
question, although the said dobt was not
contracted for thfl’benefit of her separate
estate. This brings yp squarely the
question whether a married woman can
mortgage her separate estate for a debt
not contracted for its benefit. * * « *
The boundary of the question is the
Constitution and the Act of the Legisla
ture upon the subject of the rights of
married women.” The Court then pro
ceeds to examine at length the constitu
tional provisions contained in Article
14, Section 8,' as follows: “The real and
personal property of a married woman
held at the time of her marriage, or that
which she may thereafter acquire either
by gift, grant, inheritance, devise or
otherwise, shall not be subject to levy
and sale for her husband’s debts, but
shall be held as her separate projterty
and may be bequeathed, devised or
alienated by her Uie same as if she were
unmarried.” The provisions of law

hour before sunset on the 21st of April,
1836, Houston, with 783 men all told,
attacked Santa Anna with 1,501) men,
advancing with the war cry, “^i* nieml;er

ceiving the Mexicans’ fire to within
point blank shot liefore they tired a gun.
In less than two hours a vanquished foe
lay bleeding ou the battle plain. A few
unskilled tnen were victors over nearly
double their number of well skilled sol
diers, who werei.burfeited with treasure
aud human blood, and their proud and
haughty chiet a prisoner, begging for
quarter and mercy, both of which were
foreign to his own heart and his own
mode of warfare. Santa Anna, the cap-
tyred, was a heartless demon. The
world, in all its round of brutality; had
no other sight so bloody and brutal as
the slaughter of Colonel Fannin’s band
at Goliad. Borne faint excuse might be
given for the savagery at Alamo while
the blood was hot, but the savagery at
Goliad has all the horrors of cold, calcu
lating, pitiless butchery.
RESULTS OF THE VICTORV.
The victory at Ban Jacinto is truly
4q£ of the most splendid of modern or
ancient times, and well deserves to be
ranked among the decisive battles of the
world. Its results are wonderful. It
established the independence of Texas;
the establishing of it into a republic; the
annexation of it into the American
union; a,war with Mexico, the conse
quence of which was the acquisition of
New Mexico, “California, Utah, Nevada,
Colorado and Wyoming; the acquisition
of the gieatest gold and silver fields in
the world; the extension of the bounda
ry of the United States from the Atlantic
to Pacific; the securing of ports on the
! Pacific coast invaluable to defense and

Another incident related in the diary
is as follows: The boat hod anchored at
a Small town by the river. Down on the
bank of the river a woman and a boy
were fishing. Out in the shallow ports
of the river hideous looking croeocUles
could easily be seen disporting them
selves or sleeping on the sand bars.
Close to where the woman and boy were
fishing was a large crocodile who won
quietly, every moment,
nearer and nearer the fishers. THis
eyes twinkle*!, and every now and then
he would turn his head slowly from side
to side to see that ho was not observed.
Suddenly tho people in the village heard
a terrible shriek. The woman and boy
hod been swept into water by a stroke
from the toil of the monster. Then he
seized the body of the woman, and,
swimming slowly to the opposite bulk
he laid it down and returned. Mean
while the boy, when he had recovered
from his fright, scrambled out upon the
bank, not waiting to yell or shriek, as
would have been expected of an Ameri
can child. He hastened off np the bonk
to where a small eanoe was anchored.
Juir ping into it, he noddled hastily for
the place where the body of his mother
had been carried. Keaching it, he pui
the body into the boat and started for
the village. He had not gone far when
he heard a shout from the village, and,
looking behind him, saw that he was be
ing pursued by the crocodile who, after
leaving the woman, had gone off up the
river and returned just in time to see his
prey earned off by the canoe. The boy
paddled with all his might aud the
csocodile followed as fast os he could,
