But there they are, calm and un- ruffied. They seem to have come to stay, The rush and turmoil of legisla. tive business roars abeut them uvery day without dragging them into its torrent. They are surroundod by a body of which thoy are, and yot are not, na part. They are mover molested, irritated, or in any sense imposed upon, perhaps. A quister way has been found in Texas. They are sim- ply ignored. White membors rarely speak to or have any communication with them. No groups of fellow members gather round them to wear out the time of a tiresome speech with funny anec- dotes or waggish stories. They are rare- ly consulted in regard to their views upon pending questions. They scarcoly ever do more than answer to the roll call and record their votes on motious, Noither has risen to move a single propo- sition or introduce a bill the present ses- sion, But some interesting facts have been drawn from these stolid, silent members, nevertheless. THE COLORED YOTE, In a conversation with one of them yesterday (R. J. Moore, of Washington County) he stated what may be news to many readers of The Globe-Democrat, although a thrice-told tale to the peopla of this state, Mr. Moore says that under a fair apportionment, fair election and honest count there is no doubt that the colored people of Texas could elect ten representatives and two senators to the legislature. He professes to have the facts and figures at haud to ocon- vince any one of this who cures to give the subject oxamination. Ho went on to recito that in past years Washington county, then a senatorial district. was represented by a colored man—DBurleson; that the counties of Washington, Waller and Fort Bend have a clear majority of colored votes as a dis- trict. He thinks Harris, Walker, Mont- gomery and Brazoria could probably elect a colored senator, even undor the new apportionment. Dut Harris county, em- bracing at it dovs the city of Houston, will always so manage as to prevent the election of a colored senator. Harris county did elect Richard Allen (col- lored) senater for several years be- fore the days of final reconstruction Montgomery county also did the same, and had a colored senator in the twelfth end thirteenth legislatures, and Moore thinks alse in the fourteenth, There have been colored senators 1n the legisla- | tures for eight years lnst past, and Sena- tor Chesney (white) was only elected this year by the colored vote being divided upon two of their race, and one of these came near an election even then. Bur- den (colored) was seuntor from that dis- trict for eight yoars; is a man of fair ed- ucation; was once sheriff of the county; is now & prosperous farmer, and gained considerable notoriety not long since by giving his *‘young mistress” (the daughter of his old master is meant by this term) a present of $1,000 in cash, | ™ Allen is still living in Houston; is a | street contractor, about 45, but was a | earpenter by trade. His people consider him one of the ablest colored men in the state. He mukes a good speech, is a man of good judgment, and has accumu- lated considerable property. So as Moore knows, these men were both treated fairly while in the senate. Matthew Gaines (colored) was senator in the Twelfth, Thirteenth and Four- teenth legislatures from Washington county and drew a six years’ term. Moore pronounces him_active, smart, about 45, a Baptist minister, with fair education in English and speaking the latter well, He also mentioned that G. T. Ruby, deceased, was senator from Galveston at one time—an uncommonly tine scholar, a teacher by profession and a man of fine talents. He died in New Orleans three or four years ago. Moore also mentioned the names of a number of other colored men who had been representatives, and among them A. W. Wilder, A. L. Sledge and B, 0. Guy, all of whom had represented Washington county 1n the house at different times, Roberts (colored) represented Harrison county in the Twelfth and Thirteenth legislatures, and B. I". Williams (colored) Fort Bend county during the same pe- riod, Hal. Yeager (colored), from Rob- inson county, was in the fourteenth and sixteenth sessions. Robert Carr (col- ored), from Bastrop county, was a mem- ber of the Fifteonth, and R. J. Evans and Thomas Beck (both colored), from Girimes, of the Sixteenth and Seven- teenth legislatures. these distinotly, A COLORED LEGISLATOR, Mr. Moore is a half-blood, about 35; common school education at Matamoras, scnate and was elected over James Holt, him honest, so he carried the solid Ger- man vote of the county (which is at least 1,600), the unbroken volored vote, and wmade some inroads upon the white dem- ocratic vote, which Holt expected to get. There was no trouble whatever at tie since 1870, The races are friendly. Alpine, but the whites broke up the elec- tion, broke open the ballot-boxes and scattered the ballots to the winds, and the doctor got the certificate of election. + He says the colored people in that sec- 'uo.n of the country are industrious and doing well.

So far as he knows his race is doing bot tor 1n Texas thau anywhare else, and are securing lands and homesteads in all parts of the state, In the city of Austin they havo large possessions in houses and lots, and are as frugal and industrious as :\uK other people. r. Moore is over six feet high,weighs about 170 pounds, has a pleasant, sedate countenance, is & bright mulatto, and possesses much general information— ly by reading. His ocolored associato in the house is George W. Wyatt, a full-blooded African, quick and sharp in oxpression, with a full share of the humor of his race, about thirty, heavily built, five foot eight inches in height, and was olected from Waller county, where the colored ma- jority ranges from 500 to 600 votes. Tho colored people elect whom they please to office there. The only difticulty is in uniting them upon one candidate, Wal- ler county now has four colored; county commissioners, a colored clerk of the court and some constables, elected by popular voto. Wyatt has n limited ed- ucation, reads and writes well, has a practical knowledge of arithmetic, but is not a public spoaker. He teaches somo- times, and travels a good deal for the United Brothers of Friendship. COLORED SCHOOLS, Inquiry at the oftice of the state school superintendent olicited the fact that there are 1,203 common schools jn the stato exclusively for colored children in 07 of the 171 counties. These schools are managed by colored trustees, and re- ceive the same apportionment per scholar as those for white children. The super- intendent estimates the whole number of free schools for colored children in Texas at about 2,000. In addition to theso he has reports from 156 of the 45 cities in the state, which report 33 free colored schools, The ntlem‘nncu at the state colored schools last year was 46,680, and the city schools reported 2,730, making a total enrollment for the present school year of 49,319, There is one colored normal school at Prairie View, in the vicinity of Hemp- stead, Waller county, The attendance is about 150 per annum, and the average cost of the institution about 7,500 per annum, exclusive of repairs. ~During the past year an equal amount was ex- pended in enlarging and repairing the buildings, and a total amount of £15,600 was expended therefor. This institution is managed by a board of directors, who report_annually to the governor. The colered normal achool has been ably man- aged in the past, and is confessedly su- perior in that regard to any similar in- stitution in the state. In addition to this normal school there are several institutions‘in the state in the interest of highher education for the col- ored people of Texas, Among them is the Tillotson institute at Austin, a col- lege at Marshall, and another collegiate course at Waco. These are all sustained by endowments and private subscription, One or two of them are denominational. But all are devoted to highereducation— have from 100 to 200 studeats each every season, are fairly managed, and aredoing much to raise the standard of letters and general intelligence among the colored have his attention quickly arrested by mail part of his written correspondence and all of his newspapers and pub lic documents, which are distributed profusely throughout the state by each momber at every sossion of the logisla- ture. On being informed that they wero truly members of the house, duly elected, NIZING THE SCHOOL SYRTEM., A bill will be introduced in the house tc-lay by the committee on education which provides for the reorganization of of the common school system of the state, including the colored as well as the white. This bill is understcod to como mainly from Secretary Baker, and embodies the result of his experience and observation. 1t provides for a state superintendent of common schools, county superintendents and examiners, and common school districts throughout the state bounded by geographical lines, and governed by the ordinary school trustees or directors. ’ Secretary Baker’s private opinion is that the plan of placing colored schools under the management of colored trus- trees is a bad one, and should be aban- doned. He finds the colored people lacking in trained, disciplined men fit to be intrusted with the government of free schools, and believes that inasmuch as the white people pay substantially all the free school taxes, they are entitled to supervise the expending of their own mnnef', and ought to govern and control all colored schools, He seems to forget that iv would takespecial legislation to accomplish this; that the free-school money comes largely from government lands given for i sup- port, and that the state is merely a trus- tee in the matter, and that a door once opened in the direction of class or xace distinction would be in violation of the late constitutional amendments, and lead to national as well as state legislation. —— The standard restorative—especially in cases of mervousness — ig Samnaritan Nervine, $1.60.

I very read- ily found the camps of Logan's, Prentiss’ ground had not been plowed up the field is still littered with the slowly decaying debris of the army.

Itis the grave of a confederate major whom his comrades buried under a beautiful oak tree, then but eighteen inches in diame- ter. A round place was cut smooth on the face of the tree, and engraved was the inscription, *“T.
