PASS C A VALLO BAR.
Considerable attention has been directed to-
wards the improvement of Pass Cavailo Bar, at
the entrance of the Bay, not only bj our own
citizens*, but also by parties onlaide oí the
State, wl.o* -o\vn inb.rests would be greatly
benefitted thereby. A gentleman, thoroughly
conversant with the removal of such obstruc-
tions to maritime commerce, has examined the
entrance '-to this harbor, and pronounces the
work an easy «me, should the proper steps be
taken, to remove the difficulties that now re-
tard our commerce with foreign ports. The
statements of the gentleman in «yrtestion but
con firm the previous opinions of the United
States official*, who have examined it, in every
particular. Títere can be no doubt whatever, in
iew of the rising importance of Western Tex-
that the preliminary step will be taken to
i'- ait from t-rtx to five feet, so as to admit
o.unuiee of ships of large tonnage from
tan and Atlantic ports. The citizens of
- í rn Tejas ami those'of thi3 city are most
rte< ply interested in this impoitant work, and
> 'florin on their part should he spared to
fa -iJitate an early commencement of the work.
The great artificial highway that is now be-
ing constructed from Indianola towards the
far West, has at last aroused the energies of
the people of Western Texas. Its completion to
San Antonio and AOfctinr is only a matter of
months. The impetus to the'growth and pros-
perity oftheheretofore neglected West, abound-
ing tn fertile soils and mineral wealth, will be
more speedy than is even now calculated, as
easy transportation to the rich vacant lands of
Western Texas will be at jonce sec ured. But to
encourage direct immigration from and trade
with Europe, Pass Cavailo Bar must b3 deep-
ened to admit large ocean vessels to the safe
anchorage just within its portals, and which
affords one of the safest harbors oh flie Gulf of
Mexico. The coft of opq^ng^Rl^Bar would
be trifling in compajgtóh Wnhjhe important re-
salta that would fuín^jr. Mercantile men. ship-
owners, aricT^fffTicrs Id forested in t^e develop-
ment of Western Texas, are fully alive to its
iuMUffenc .* 41 «o ««re of world at
huge, will throw all the influence and aid
possible i *ke way of its improvement.
If is wwiUfrunwn that several years back-
some twenty-five—this bar was the best one on
the coasf of TVxaB, ibiit oWing to the washing
away of the ^énnd shoals that compose its en-
trance, the bar has bt come widened, and, con-
sequently, ha become more shallow, there not
being at the present time more than from eight
and one-half to nine and one-half feet of water
on it at high-water, whereas, in former times,
before it was nsed, there was from seventeen to
twenty fret. The bay and bar was thoroughly
surveyed under the Repnblic of Texas, by Com-
modore Moore, of the Texas Navy, who unqual-
ifiedly pronounced it by far the best and safest
bar on the Gulf coast, from the Balizo to Vera
Cruz, and recommended it as the fiuest harbor
for the location of a Navy Yard over any other
on the Texas coast, giving it the preference at
once over the harbor of Galveston—Galveston
being then pitched upon as the plaoe for the
Navy Yard. Individual Influence being brought
to bear, the matter was dropped, and the bar
was suffered to be neglected; and of coarse
the wasting aw ay of the sand from tiie neigh-
boring islands caused its deterioration. What
«ature has once formed caa be restored by man,
and how that Western Texas is acqniriug im-
portance from the very fact of the inauguration
of the Gulf, Western Texas and Pacific Eailway,
which is now being constructed from this point
through the heart of th^jfichest and most fer-
tile country in the world, there is not a shadow
of doubt but that the gneat work of improving
and restoring Pass Cavailo Bar to its former
and natural dtpths will at once be entered
npon. The only thing required for this work is
to confino it to its original limits, so as to force
the whole body of water throagh. one channel,
and its former depth of from seventeen to twen-
ty feet will be at onee attained. *
The future of Wcbtern Texas, with its pros-
pective wealth and productions, together with
the impor ant railroad now building from In-
dianola towards the Pacific shores, must ensure
an early attention towards the opening of Pass
Cavailo Bar. Our own citizens ahould take into
consfelKration that tbev must be the first to act
iQ)li <writer; then they will soon attract the
atteatton and receive the co-operation of ship-
owkss and merchants, who ate now anxious to
com menee a direct trade with Texas, through
Indiano! , snd thus connect as with Northern
Mexico and the Pacific slope.
Our trade, by no means insignificant, with
Mexico, has been done by means of wagon
. «importation heretofore; ^hat thqn will it be-
: r t when railway transportation and mari-
*?• i" <favfgatlon is perfected arid completed? It
. arossilie to calculate It, tspecully when we
at the immense .freights now going over
ínmanóla railroad to the interior, and
..-a road has as yet only reached a point
rty miles distant, add is paying eaocuon*
üTfruíl I— fltmirr- *** *w 4
We have otten heretofore said that this road
when finished to San Antoaio and Austin would
be the best paying road «toe world, and our
predictions are more tfcan verified in the suc-
eden éf the short pieee already completed as far
as Victoria.
The citizens of Western Texas are as much
interested in the improvement of Pass Cavailo
Bar as we of this citv, and probably more so,
antf we trust there will be a united opinion
npon the subject of its jpiprovemeut at once. If

i the present incumbent, uúU hia iioperialam- back,and might
biliuu and centralizing idejs, or will he be a as wt*ll give it^up
man of tlie people? It is a hard question to- odor,
answer, so cunfosed and obscure are the bear-
ings of the two parties now in the political field
t f the Bepublic. Among both of th<im much
defection exists in their idoas of honesty and
patrii -tism as to what issues will most conduce
to a restoration of constitutional government.
Ba iicalism in either is dead. The corruptions
of political power has killed it. ¿The imin agi-
tation of the b">nr is, what sha!! \re do to be
saved from the blighting iriflu-.-nces of party
leaders? The answer i-. to b- found in the in-
telligence of the people. It lies with them to
remedy the evils that be3et as. from the corro-
ding cffects of demagogical leaders, whose
power over their blind follower* must.be chock-
ed by an immediate uprising of the great mass
of the poopl", whose libartiea and prerogatives
are at 6take should they longer neglect their
sovereign duties as citizens of a iree and inde-
pendent Itepnblic.
The peace and happiness of the people of the
United States depends upon their r.dherence to
the constitutional principles of the government;
not as interpreted by the present political party
in power, whose infractiiJns npon the chartcr of
the liberties of the citizen has well nigh des-
troyed all political jvower invested in the peo-
ple, but as drawn up by the founders of the
Republic, whose for-seeing vision taught them
to believe that one single deviation from its
principles would create others, until its intents
and purposes were totally destroyed , led them
to place such safe-guards around it as woBld
save it from the blighting effects of pow-
erful party organizations under the lead
of ambitious and unscrupulous men, who would
stoop at nothing to gain their ends, though it
should prove the ruin of a republican form of
government. There are solid and weighty rea-
sons why tills government should hold together
under constitutional rule. It is v.-ithin the pow-
er of the people to save it from dissolution by
a unification of the conservatism of both rarties
now striving for tho ascendency.
We will ask the question, is this a free coun-
try ? Is it a Republican government in which
the majority rule Í If it is still a Republic in
form and principle, it is, as a matter of course,
a democracy, however unpalatable the name
may seem. The soocer we divest our minds of
the odor that attaches to a mere «name the
sooner will we begin to realize our precarious
position while disputing about nomenclatures
of party organizations. Republicanism is Dem-
ocracy and Democracy is Republicanism, which-
ever way we endeavor to'divest ourselves of the
disagreeable odor arising from the past ghort-
comhigs of either party ^hile in undisputed
power.
The conservatism of both the Republican and
Democratic parties must unite for self-preser-
vntioií'agafr.st tífe (Mcroachments of dictatorial
nsnrfffitlun. . It ¿Qitters not whether it be called
Union arid ilefor'in^ or Republican Democracy.
l*he latter nariio would 1be inore in harmony
with our constitutional prerogatives as a peo-
ple's government than any other name that
could be coined for the movement. It wouid be
the uniting of the conservatism of both parties
who claim the same privileges and rights which
tho charter of their liberties guarantee.
The preservation of this Republic deserves
♦hi most serious and thoughtful consideraron
of all honest men, whether they call themselves
Republicans or Democrats. ah trivial objec-
tions to constitutional rights should be thrown
aside as endangering tho dissolution of the
Union, and a finn determination be resolved
upon to savo the country from the plunder and
devastation that is now hastening it into utter
ruin. The civil rights of the people must be
preserved. Tho political destinies of the Re-
public must be perpetuated. The coming con-
vention of ¿ho people, through their delegates
in Democratic council convened, should engage
the attention of every man who wishes to"-main-
tain his sovereign prerogatives as a free and in-
dependent citizen ; for most assuredly they
are in danger of being overthrown by the mad
ambition of those in poller, who would hesitate
at nothing to further their ends in retaining
permanent and imperial power. The Republic
mast be saved, and it is through the people
that.it mast he done. Their only safety from
thei^rrils that sñrrrtttiid their political and civil
risrhts is in^" their(inherence to the protecting
:'M xi i ... n _v i

influences of their constitutional and chartered
rights. Will they do it, or «"ill they be blindly
led away by the baneful effects of party dicta-
tion, whether right or'wrong? Let thempause
and reflect before adhering to party platforms,
in whose ' strength they have no confidence.
There is bnt one platform on which the people
should stand, and that is the Constitution of
cur Republican form of government, whose
tenets require no interpretation. The lan-
guage of the Constitution is too plain to be
mistaken. Under its benign influences the
whole people will require no other protection
from demagogneiBUi than their own determina-
tion to stand by its principles through all the
varied vicissitudes of party organizations, whose
chief grounds for the maintenance of power is
throngh a misrepresentation of its trae mean-
ing. There is bnt one Constitution, and that
is the one bequeathed to us by the Fathers of
the Revolution of *76. Let us adhere to it, and
save the Republic from the debasing and de-
grading rule of the present corrupt party now
ruling the destinies of the people, and who are
fast drifting us into imperial centralization, and
consequent despotism and bloodshed- -then
coates revolution, followed by a dissolution of
all forms of Republican government. Then
shall we behold separate and discordant States,
each looking towards its own safety from exter-
nal danger—.the weaker States protecting them-
selves from the encroachments of the stronger,
until a general break ap of all civil and consti-
tutional forms of administration would be upon
us, to be followed by military dictation and rule.
From discordant and belligerent States We wouid
be precipitated into anarchy and oenfoaion, to
be followed by the intervention of European
governments. Thus would Bapnblicanism be
forever blotted oat an this continent, and the
hopes of the oppressed of despotic nations for-
ever annihilated.
The picture is not overdrawn, for such would
be the eonseqaences of a dissolution of this
Uhion. Hence we should seriously deliberate t
af"*
It asserts "that they are in
antl the annual convention of the
sSme oM set in Philadelphia will not help the m
a bit." We are glad of it, and trust that all
snch unwomanly subjects will be forever set at
rest. The true sphere of woinau is hom"-.
There she is the great shining light of the
hous-ehold, and whero her influence for good is
transcendent. An the mother her precepto irs-
stilied into the minds of her chUdren, if pro-
perly inculcated, are for their future welfare.
H r teachings will ever be remembered, an.1
the future man is formed according to the in-
tellect and bearings of the mother and the in-
fluence she wields over her child. We despise
a masculine woman. She is neither man or
woman in nature. Her composition is neutral;
or rather the desire to be conspicuous predom-
inates—consequently she brings to her aid the
bra^s of the rowdy, and unsexes herself in the
desire to mix with the masculine gender and to
enter into the vile pool of politics, demanding
position through ignoronce of her rightful mis-
sion on earth.
In Massachusetts, the grand centro of the
woman suffrage movement, it is dying out. In
Wyoming, where it has been put in practical
operation, the people are heartily sick of it, and
the Territorial House, by nine to three, have
voted to repeal it, to all of which the Journal
says "that along their whole line of operations
the women have but their own sex to thank.
Hen have treated them and their cause with
great courtesy, leaving the women themselves
to decide upon tho claims of the pretentious re-
form, and ihey have all but unanimously repu-
diated it. Its doom for the time being is sealed
in this country, though it will pop ud again, in
a few years, as bran new, after the fashion; of
empirical reforms, again to be rejected by the
sex whom it most concerns. It is a healthful
sign of the times that woman suffrage has re-
trogressed most rapidly since under its banners
free love began to be advocated. There are wo-
man suffragists who will indignantly and hon-
estly repudiate free love, bnt the public find the
two things mixed up so intimately in woman
suffrage papers and speeches, that it is a natu-
ral inference to suppose them correlated."
THE SOUTH.
It has been suggested that the people
of tha South who are conscious of being
misrepresented by martial law proclama-
tions, and oppressed by the outlawry to
which they have been expose-cí, should
nnite in a remonstrance to Congress
against the injustice and injury which
they are suffering at the hands of the
Federal Government. There would be
virtue, it is thought, in a petition setting
forth calmly and plainly the exact posi-
tion of affairs, and vonehed by an ex-
tended list of names of competent respect-
ability. But the sacred right of petitio-n
has lost ranch of its saoredness; and in a
ease like the present, in which neither
the President nor Congress decires in-
formatfon, the action of the Adminstra-
tion being a foregone conclusion, it wonld
be simply like calling-spirits from the
vasty deep, and would only expose the
South to fresh insult and reproach. The
Southern peoDle, moreover, are not in a
mood for remoustranoe or formal com-
plaint, if they have not as a principle re-
solved to refrain from it. They well
understand that they are at the mercy of
the Administration, and are inclined, if
they have not determiued, to entrust
their fate wholly to its magnanimity and
sense of justice. If the President and
Congress are ignorant of the actual state
of thing8 in South Carolina—as might be
inferred from the egregious blunder of
the proclamation which included M-irion
conuty as among the disorderly aud re-
bellious localities, while, as was confessed
in a subsequent humiliating proclama-
tion. that county was and always had
been thoroughly and perfectly quiet-it is
through the representations of those
whom they have elected to believe, from
partisan motives, which are of superior
influence to all consideration of truth and
justice, and whom they will continue to
believe in spite of petitions and state-
ments from aggrieved sources, however
numerous or authentic. So long as it is
expedient or necessary for party ends to
keep the heel of the Radical Administra-
tion upon the South, so long will it be
hopelessly vain for South Carolina—or
for Georgia, or Texas, or any other South-
ern State over which the threat of with-
holding the protection of the law is im-
pending—to raise a voice against it by
way of remon'strance or appeal.
Whether it was ignorance or careless-
ness, or both, in which the disgraceful
blunder or falsehood originated in regard
to Marion county, it was equally inexcus-
able, It is surely disgraceful, aud seri-
ously 30, while at the same time it is
ludicrous, thsit the Government with all
the formality and deliberation, and pre
sumed carefulness of an Executive pro-
clamation, should denonnco a portion of
the country as being in a state of rebel-
lion, and proceed tcf deprive the people
of the legal guarantees of liberty, and to
warn them, under the threat of martial
law, to disperse and retire peacefully to
their respective homes, and to iJeliver up
their bristling arms to the Marshal of the
United States—and then by an additional
proclamation, and wittj equal deliberated
and carefulness, to carry the threat into
execotiofi for the reason that the people
had not heeded the warning, bnt .'•still
persisted in unlawful combinations and
conspiracies"—when* after all, as the
event showed and as the President was
obliged to confess in still another procla-
mation, the said people had never been
in a state of rebellion, or disquietude, or
disorder, at all; had no arms or ammuni
tion, or instruments of warfare to deliver
up to the Marshal; and had always re-
mained at their homes in the quiet pur-
suit of their accnstomed peaceful occupa-
tions. How such a serio-cumical blunder
came to be made, the President has not
condescended to explain. But the whole
transaction shows that there is a rankless

THE RAILROAD AND SAN ANTONIO.
Bexar county seems to be alive to her

way and the profitable results of its com-

We extract from the article in ques-

JSow let us see how such earnings
would pay on the Indianola Railroad,
accord lug to the -distribution of ¿stock
aud bonds, ? , % % •
It has been arranged in the consolida
tion ot the preseut. Company, that- every
mile of the road shall be represented by
$14,1)011.00 stock and $16,000 00 bonds.
Th9 stock to have the ownership and
control of tue road,-and the bonds to
have a first mortgage on the same. The
bou Is to bear eight par cent, interest
and the stock to divide too profits.
Now, according to this, too 2J0 miles
of the Central Railroad would have i epre-
seated $3,200,000 stock. O it of the uet
earniugs of $ál'8,ü74, the eight per cout
oa the bonds would hav: first been paid
amounting to $2ó8.,00) and ta s wo-ald
have left $302,071 to be di.siribated as
dividend to st.>ck holders, am •natiag to
Dearly 20 per ceut. on the stock.
Bat the Central Railroad has beau in
operation for years and business ha- in-
creased by the Rahroa.l as the country
was settle 1 by it. We ca;iu >t expect that
onr road will, for ,sev ral yeai's, haye as
mit'ih 'business. ultimately, howe.ver,
there is little doubt bat- that the Indian
ola Road will pay as well as tho Central,
for although the Ceutral, Road runs
through a better settled country and iias
more way business, it has uo such termi-
nus as San Antonio and never had such
freights as the San Antonio freights to
start wit¡í. ^
In the early part of my communications
I have shown that 600,000 bbls of freight
have fodü|i imported by way of Indianola
an! Lavaca tfuriu<| laS year, and that
three-fifths of that amount, has gone to
San Antonio. Bdariag iu miud that the
other two fifths all go up to Victoria
over the Riilroad and the greater part as
far as Cuero, 70 miles from* fiidiauola, it
wiil be very near the truth to calculate
four fifths as going over the entire road
and dropping one fifth oat of the caleu-
. , ú-, ta z:¡¿ ¿4 vi fisf-xwUiT
Four-fifths of 600,030 bids would be 480,000 bb'.a
or 9110,000 hundred weight. The Railroad
freight on this at 75 cants per 100 lbs would
be $720,000
Assume the running expenses and re-
pairs to be the same as on the Cen-
tral Railroad, 42 per cent of gross
receipts 302,4-50
And,we have net receipts,. .* «417,600
The 145 miles of the Indianola Baií-
road, when completed, will be en-
cumbered by bonds at the rate of
$16,00O-per mile, or :.. 2,323,000
And the Stock will be at $14,000 per
mile, .... - 2,030,000
The interest on the Railroad bonds
will be at 8 per cent 185,600
which deducted from the $417,600 of nett re-
cepta will leave for distribution among the stock
holders $232,000 or a little over 11 per centi;
which would pay in the case of Bexair County
the eight- per cent, interest on the Oount'y
Bonds and leave a surplus pf dividend ovej in
terest on bt>nd3 of more than 3 per cent.
No.w it mast be borne in mind that-
tliis is Only thé receipts lor freights oa
importation. The freights on exports,
the local busin ess, the passenger traffic,
and particularly the large increase of
business which mast result from the
building of the Railroad, are not taken
into consideration. But it is the univer-
sal experience in Railroad building that
all calculations made before hand were
always surpassed by the actual results.
