We are determined the Board of
Imbeciles shall have the full credit
for allowing the existence of the, foul,
disgraceful, damning den of sin and
pollution on Main street in the very
shadow of the Masonic Altars and
the pulpits of Christianity. Would
any other city have allowed this vile
institution to flaunt its crimson guilt
in the very faces of its wives, its sis-
ters and its daughters ? But our board
of Blockheads have by their recorded
votes heartily approved the den of
iniquity, and endorsed the insult to
the moral portion of the community.

We have received Forster, Ludlows
and Co.'s circular, in which they say
the Houston default has had a bad in-
fluence on other Texas Municipal
securities which are closely inspected;
that a proposal has been made to the
bondholders by a citizen of Houston
for a settlement at 50 cents on the
dollar in a 5 per cent, bond ; that
holders of Market House bonds must
have their interest, and will probably
have a Receiver appointed by suit in
the United States Courts; that Hous-
ton is to be blamed for recklessly
borrowing, and investors for being
gulled by rose colored representa-
tions.

S CONRADI,
WORK ON THE NEW ORLEANS ROAD BE-
GUN.
Learning that Judge J. F. Crosby
had returned from New York, we
called at his office on Mam street this
morning, where we were cordially re-
ceived by the Judge, whom we inter-
viewed at some length. But our lim-
ited space forbids only the substance
of ’the conversation.
In reply to our enquiry about
the prospects of the Houston and
New Orleans Railway, Judge Crosby
stated in substance that after a good
deal of trouble, time, labor, and a low
rate of Railread securities, the com-
pany had succeeded in negotiating
for funds sufficient to begin the work,
and carry it on for some • time.
Enough bonds had been sold at goad
prices to effect that purpose and that
work had been begun this morning
by the sending out on the line of a
force of laborers to take up the debris
and prepare for the resuscitation of
the road. Judge Crosby • showed us
a letter he had written Gov. Coke an-
nouncing the commencement of work
and assuriug His Excellency that the
line to the Sabine would be com-
pleted within the time prescribed by
act of the Legislature. Two new
engines have been purchased, the
old iron will be retained,—as it is ex-
cellent—and the guage changed some-
what.
The engineer of the Road will ar-
rive about Thursday, when adver-
tisements for contracts will be issued.
Capt. Hayes,“of the International, is
to be consulting engineer.
All the bridges are to be built of
iron, and the old crossties to be re-
‘ r
moved, of course.
Toward the conclusion of the in-
terview, Judge Crosby said that there
was a scheme on hand to get the city
of Houston to subscribe for $100,000
in the first mortgage bonds, which the
present company, propose to issue,
secured by the road bed and appur-
tenances of the Road, besides 760,000
acres of valuable land,mostly in East-
ern Texas, not payable till the cars arc
running from Houston to New Orleans.
Judge Crosby asserts that this
would ensure the negotiation of the
balance of the bonds, as well as the
completion of the Road to New Or-
leans. Parties in New York assured
the Judge that if the city subscribed
the amount indicated, the balance of
the loan would be promptly taken.
We are sorry that we cannot give
the interview at length. We left
Judge Crosby, feeling that if the
building of the trans-Sabine line can
be accomplished, a million'or two will
be added to the property valuation of
Houston.
Saturday evening’s disaster, the
burning of the City Mills, was not
only a loss of $150,000 to the owners,
but by its destruction, one or two hun-
dred people, who depended on the em-
ployment they furnished, have been
sent adrift penniless. Now is the
time for the city of Houston to step
in and do a graceful and beneficent
act by aiding the sufferers. Of late
years we can recall instances of our
citizens aiding the unfortunate who
were not of us, which was commenda-
ble. But now we have a case in our
midst which calls for our sympathy
and pecuniary aid. As the majority
of the City Mill’s unfortunates are
females, could anything be more'ap-
propriate than for the noble ladies of
Houston to take the initiative in the
work of relieving the factory opera-
tives ? The Age, at least, pledges
itself to do anything in its power
to aid any scheme for such a purpose.

JUDGE cSsB?"

Nothwithstanding the efforts of
such hard money hew-gags and
trumpet blowers as Judge Thurman,
Gov. Allen, the Ohio Democrats and
the currency plank of their platform
are likely, aye, most likely, to carry
the day at the approaching election.
The thunderings of such paid hard
money organs-the subsidised trumpets
of the bondholders—as the New York
World—and the efforts of insane con-
tractionists elsewhere, will have no
other effect on the Buckeye Democ-
racy than that of awakening the Hoo-
siers to, a sense of the real causes of
that general financial ruin of which
the great failure of Duncan, Sherman
& Co., a few days ago is but one in-
dex.
The Ohio Democracy backed by
the millions of the yeomanry of the
West and South, seeing the practical
effects of the road to resumption by
currency contraction will at the polls
thunder back into the ears of the
hard money organs and of the Nation
the verdict, “currency expansion the
cure for all our woes.”

pended.

The cattle ordinance adopted Fri-
day evening, although restricted in
operation to the central part of the
. city, amounts ta the same old abomi-
nation as that which our Radical
Mayor Lord, was so determined to
have executed some time ago. Let
the Aidermen have full credit for this
fresh insult to the known wishes of
the tax payers. Could we expect
any better of them? We shall now
hear the same old song of negroes
driving from the prairies the property
of our stock owners into the forbidden
district on purpose to get the fees, of
milch cows belonging in the surburbs
beaten up and ruined by buck ne-
groes, and costing their owners their
full value to get them out of the
pound? The Blockheads who voted
for the outrage, ought to be impaled
on the horns of the biggest ox in
Brazos Bottom.
