The Ham tom party ask to be reconstructed under the constitution adopted by the iate convention and who oppcee (he division of the State on the ground of the expense attendant upon the multiplication of State governments. The commussiourrs of the Reconstruction Conven- tion of thst State—E. J. Davis, J. W. Fiana- #An, 9nd others—are here making a very active and earnest representation in behalf of are- constraction of the State upon “a permanently Joyal basis." Asa main remedy for the law- dJessness and unhealthy condition of affairs in Texas, they urge the division of that State into three. Without taking all the arguments of the commissioners as proven, there can be no doubt tbat Texas in its present great size, cov- ‘eripg an area of nearly three hundred thousand square miles, is much too ua- wieldy for a single State organization. In the articles of annexation, it will be remem- bered, the State of Texas recerved the right to | form not more than four additional new States, ‘The geographical features of the country and | the location of the population seem to make a division into three States the proper one. One | 2 Oruna Last NiGuT.—Theever welcome ‘Tostee made her re-appearanceat the National ‘Theater last evening im Orphce aus Enfers, the ‘Most humorous of all Offenbach's compositions, that is, it is Offenbach intensified. At is found- ed upon the old mythological story of Orpheas and Eurydice, but the composer has taken all sorts of liberties with the story soas to intro- duce the most comical situations, and has set the whole to his boldest and most dashing music. Tostee as Eurydice and Decre as Orpheus were the principal chafacters, with Leduc, Duchesne, Lagriffuul and others, who ably assisted the success of this tine masical burlesque. Our old friend, Leduc, (the “Prince Paul” of the Grand Duchess last winter) was great in his finished persouation of Aristee, afterwards Pluto. Tostee was piquant and in good voice, but has hardly the same scope for her peculiar line of acting and singing as in the “rand Duchess” and “La Belle Helene.” The audience was a large and faxtionable one, and seemed greatly to enjoy this first performance of “Orphee aux Enfers." ‘This evening we are to have “Barbe Blege,” in debut im Al ca, as Tae Eront Hour System.—An armorer in this city who has ust retarned from Washing- ton says that be called ou the paymaster of the Warhington Arsenal, and in answer to anin- quiry received a positive statement that he Paid the men their full wages, for eight hours’ ‘work; thst he bad never received orders to the contrary: and that it was considered in every respect ‘bata man who worked eigbt hours worked afallday.

Al! of these proposed States would have good outlets on the Gulf aud a diversity of soil and climate rendering portions of each | desirable for pastoral and agricultural purpo- | ses. ‘That the result of the division proposed would be to make three Republican States out of one Democratic State is not quite clear to us, but it may be assumed that thus divided the authorities would have a better chance of suppressing lawlessness and ensuring the tree exercise of the franebise to all voters. A fall expression of public opinion could be reached, | which, we take it, is not likely to be the case in abe present turbulent condition of affairs there, The reported appointment of Mr. Foulds, a Tesident of Covington, Ky .ss Postmaster at Cimerwnati, in lieu of Mr. Thomas. the present incumbent, seems to be unpalatable to a large portion of the people and the majority of the Press of that city: and ths Commercial, which is | regarded as the exponent of its popular senti- | ment, is cut in a rather savage editorial arucle protesting against the proposed change. The main objection to it lies in the fact taat Mr. Thomas has been an exceptionally compe- tent and obliging officer; but the local pride of the Cincwnatians seems to be also touched by the fact that the President felt obliged to go inte Kentucky for a successor to Mr. Thomas, whereas there are plenty of men residing in Civcinnat: who are not only willing bat wait- ing to step into his shoes. Itis a little singular, however, that so far no ope has alluded te @ legal obstacle in the case, Which exists in the 36th section of the act of July 2, 1-6, im the following Ianguage : “And no person shall bold the office ef postmaster | who shall not be an actual resident of the city or town wherein the office is situated, or the district of country usually supplied by said office.” As Mr. Foulds is an actual resident of Covington, which is an independent and Separate corporation, having a post office of its own. be would seem to be clearly excluded by the above provision, unless he removes to and becomes an actual resident of Uincionati before entering on the duties of bis office. Among the iatest official acts of ex-President Jobpron as President of the United States was the unconditional pardon of E. U. Randall, iate postmaster of Portiand, Oregon, who was convicted and sentenced to twelve years’ im- Prisonment in the penitentiary upon the charge of rifling a registered letter of about $200 worth of gold dust. Tne pardon was recommended by all the Senators and Representatives, and mapy cther influentsal men trom the Pacific coast. The President referred the papers in «he case to the Attorney General, who, after a very careful examination of them decided that im his opinion the robbery was committed by a | clerk employed in the oifice, he having sold the gold dust and received tne proceeds, and that Rendall was in no way implicated in the | trarsaction, apd recommended that he should qe psrdozed, which was immediately done. potas dashes tsi The Chicagonese have reason to look forward (oa pretty healthy growth, but a recent esti- mate put forward by the exuberant Chicago press excites some comment among the envi- ous rival villages of St. Louis and New York ‘This estimate of 40 per cent Increase will give | Chicago im the year 1% forty-nine millions of | people, and, as the total population of the } country increases only at the rate of 3 per cent | & year, im 1900 half of the 100,000,000 will live in Chicago. and before another century passes by, everybody, including the consumptives. will live im that civy; or, more likely, the United States will be called Chicago. ‘Tae Feesce Ecectioss.—The next French @lechons, which will take place in April, are expected to be unusually exciting. The right | to bold puolic meetings, which bas recently | been granted, in very guarded and limited form, to be sure, imparts new life to all sec- tions of the opposition party, so that it is be- | lieved that the government prefects will not, as beretofore, b: verything their own way at the polls.

Fortunately ffor the faalt-finders, here is not much ground for their fears.
