RABBOW-GAUGG Bill,WAYS.
An interesting pamphlet ia being
gotten up by Mr. George A. Jackson,
of Chicago, advance sheets of which
me have Been, whieh embraces much
valuable information on the enbject
of narrow-gange railways. Mr. Jack*
goes directly at the main points
of the question and presents his argu-
ments in a concise and very convinc
Jng way, leaving us little room to ex
cept to the conclusions which he
xeaches as they seem justified by the
JaotB adduced. . The narrow-gange
Idea of railways seems to have origi-
nated in Wales in 1832, from the
working of the Festining train way
which was constructed for tbe pur-
pose of bringing slate from the Dinas
quarries to Port Madoc, for shipment
This line is fourteen and a half miles
long* one foot eleven and a hall
Inches gauge, with a descent of one
thousand feet. For many years car*
xiages were carried np along this
track by horse power, and descended,
-when loaded, by gravity. In 1863
steam was applied as the motive
power and with the most decided
encceae. In 1870 this road carried
ten thousand tons of freight per mile
and eight thousand passengers, de-
claring a dividend of forty per cent,
upon its capital. The result of this
success is the present system of nar-
row-gange railways, which is rapidly
"being developed throughout the civi«
liaed world.
In Norway, where the cost
of tbe broad gaage roads were at the
liigh average of $55,000 per mile the
narrow road came into general favor,
the cost of construction being not
above $21,000 per mile for a three
loot six ioch gange. This led to its
adoption in Sweden with equally fa-
vorable results. In Holland, France,
Germany, Austria and BusBia the
*ew system iB being developed, eBpes
cially in Bussia, where nearly all tbe
long lines of railway are being bailt
on the three foot six inch plan. Ten
thousand miles of new roads are be-
ing built in India with .a gauge of
three foot three and three«eight
Inches, and this after the moss thor-
ough investigation into the merits of
the system by an able comrnitsee of
engineers instituted by that popular
Viceroy, Lord Mayo. Important lines
are also under construction ia Egypt,
South America, Canada and New
Zealand. Over six hundred miles are
aow in operation in the United
States, with satisfactory results, and
thirteen thousand miles additional
are projected. Tbe comparative cos:
of the narrow and broad giuge roads
is roughly estimated as in the ratio
of three to fire, but this varies
"With the topography of the
oonntry throngh which they are conn
etructed, the advantages of tbe nar*
xow, gauge system increasing pari
'passu with tbe physical obstacles en-
countered on the line. For instance
the grading of the first five miles on
the narrow gange road leading from
Pine B'nff to Nevada, Calitorhia,
which runs throngh a mountainous
district, has been done for $20 000 par
Bile, while the estimated cost for a
4 fODt 8J inch track was 890,000 per
mile This arose chiefiy from the
lac: that the radius of curvature for
tlie broad gauge waB 955 feet, while
tte narrow gange admitted of a 220
loot radios, thus enabling it to run
around obstructions which would have
iiad to have been removed or tuntelled
in the construction of a broad gauge
t?3&. The ratio of saving is said not
4o b^ so great in a level or rolling
•ounWy, but still decidedly in favor
of the broad gange. On the plain
division of. the 5>3nver and Rio
Grande Bulroad the coat of thenar*
*ow gauge was declared to be but
fifty-five per cent, of the other. Dif«
ferent estimates plac9 the cost of con-
struction of the3e roads at from nice
to twelve thousand dollars par mile
and at these figures there can be bat
little doubt that they will come ulti-
mately into large favor and the system
be elaborately developed.

WAR WITH iSEXICO.
The late raid by General McKensie
serosa the Bio Grande, eighty miles
into lhe territory of Mexico, for the
purpose of attacking the Kickapoo
tribe of Indians may be followed by
important events. In other words
war may be imminent. But this de*
pends in a great measure whether the
powers that be and the people desire
the war. We believe that General
Grant favors it, or at least would offer
no active opposition. His display of
friendship toward Mexico during tbe
reign of Jaurez grew out of the neces-
sities of the situation during our late
war and the attempt by France to
place Maximilian upon the throne.
Grant wanted Mexico for himself and
felt very friendly to Jaurez when he
butchered the lamented prince whose
rule promised many blessings to that
distracted country. Bat Jaarez
died and Grant's friendly pledges to
Mexico expired at once by limitation.
Between himself and Lerdo de Tej tda,
the ruling President, there are no
bonds bred by friendly diplomacy.
And the feasibility of a war which
may cement the sections of this Union
and place a feather in the cap of the
Administration and the Ridical party
is the only question to be discussed
as the predicate for hostilities upon
the first * convenient occasion. The
military friends of the President are
for the most part ready and anx'oas
for the bugle to sound and doubtless
tbey feel that their chief is not repug-
nant to their designs. Would Gen,
McKenzie have .crossed the Rio
Grande had he imagined that his conn
duct would have been diaapprobated
at Washington ? We think not. It
was a bold act, a grievous Id suit to
Mexico and an infringement of her
rights, which she muB j be craven not
to resent, Then again we believe the
people of the United States are not
averse to this conflict which they
well know must eventually end in
the conquest of a country rich in
material resources and biees;-d with a
climate more salubrious possibly than
any other quarter of the globe. Its
rich mines and tropical vegetation and
products creates a picture so fascina*
ting as to challenge the capidiJy of
many and the imagination of all.
Butt will Mexico resent the affront of-
fered her and afford the pretext for
war ? Lerdo de Tejada, in the midst
of revolution at home, may be forced
by the passions of his ssmi-barba-
roud constituency to demand, that re-
paration from the United States
which he mast feel and know will
not be granted. Were the people of
Mexico more enlightened they would
perceive the drift of events and not
demand this of their President. But
the degree of policy prac'iced by a
people iB proportionata'to rhair en
lightenment, and the ignorance that
pervades tb$ Mexican masses forbids
;h*t extended view of the eitnation
which would inaugurate a coarse of
prudence and caution, now necessary
to the preservation of their rule on
any part of this contineD''. We,
then, are impressed with the belief
that the Mexican question is about
to be solved. Whether only by the
carving out of another State from
Northern Mexico, the establishment
of a Protectorate, or an entire con*
quest of the whole country, cm now
only be conjectured. Texas, how-
ever. in either event can not but be
benefited, and her people will raise
no voice in consequence agiinefe any
such schemes of the administration
to bolster up the declining fortunes
of itB party.

Editorial Correspondence.
Austin, May 26, 1873.
THE LEGISLATURE.
Let all the people give their con-
fidence to the noble Democrats in
this body, who have labored long
and earnestly to redeem their State
from Radical domination. The
tasks of Hercules did not appear
more insuperable to the general
public than those which the country
expected our public servants to
accomplish. And tbey have proven
themselves eminently conservative
in the face of a powerful demand for
the impeachment of the Governor,
and in all their acts the majority
have bbown themselves to be men,
who will not let party or prejudices
shape their judgments. Never did
weary pilgrim find more ragged
mountains to climb, and they have
very justly been very sensitive
about the rebukes tney have re-
ceived from some of their own
household papers, because they
could not climb as fast and aa high
as their importunities demanded.
Bat these self-sacrificing patriots
have borne all without striking
back at their persecutors, and have
trusted to the sense of justice of
these harsh judges, and more to the
people to justify them.
The truth is that this legislature
deserves the gratitude of the whole
people of Texas. Anxioas Radicals
have watched for a chance to make
a Louisiana out of Texas, and fore~
warned, the friends of the people
have refrained carefully from
giving them an excuse to do so.
And then, early' in the session, it
became apparent that the Radicals
in the Senate had the power there,
by the assistance of certain Demo-
cratic Senators, to defeat any meas-
ure they desired to defeat. Hence,
the faithful Democrats of the two
Houses saw plainly that they could
not carry out the will of the people,
and that they must be content to
take what they could gel, but tbey
'have done far more than they ever
hoped to do, and deserve the gratis
tade and praise of the whole State.
the election law.
The passage of thiB law alone
covers the present Legislature with
glory, It provides for a general
election on the first Tuesday in
December next; s.nd among other
officers, it directs that thirty Sena-
tors and nineteen Representatives
shali be elected. The bill passed
the H^use with this provisibn, went
to the derate, and this body struck
out thirty Senators and inserted ten
Senators. It went back with this
amendment to the House, and it
unanimously refused to adopt the
Senate amendment. This was com •
mnnicated in form to the Senate,
and tbe following was the action of
that body.r Oa the motion of Sena-
tor Flanagan, that the Senate re-
cede from its amendment, the vote
stood :
Yeas—Avinger, Bail, Dillard, Do-
honey, Evans, Finlay, Fianagan,
Henry, King, LV.me/, Savers,
Schelly, Swift,Wood and Mr. Presi-
dent.—15.
Nays—Baker, Cole, Ford, Foan-
tain, Franks, Gaines, Pyle, Rawson
Randie, Rabv, Saylor, Tendick and
Trasy.— IS.
Not voting — Broughton and
Hall.
Senator Finlay moved to excuse
Bronghton and Hall.
Oo motion of Senator Flanagan,
a division of the question was had.
, The question then being to ex-
cuse Senator Hall, the same was
put and carried by the following
vote.
Yeas—Avenger, Ball, Dillard,
Dohoney, Evans, Finlay, Flanagan,
Franks, Henry, King, Latmar,
Sayers, Saelley, Swift, Ward Tnd
Mr. President.—16.
Nays—Biker, Cole, Ford, Foua*
tain, Gaines, P^le, RawsoD, Kindle,
Raby, Saylor, Tendick and Tracy.
—12.
Not voting—Senator Bronghton.
Senator Fianagan having agreed
to pair off with Senator Broagaton,.
the question as to whether be
shoald be excused was not put.
The main question was then put,
ani the Seaato receded from its
amendment to the bill by the follow-
ing vote:
Yeas -*•■ Avingcr, Bail, Dillard.
Dohoney, Eva is, F;nlay, Henry,
King, La:imer, Pyle, Siyers, Sael-
iey, Sw.ft, Tendick, Tracy, Word
aod Mr. Pres dent—IT
Nd.vs-~3iser, Cote, Fv<rd, Fona-
tain, Franks, Gi nes, Sanson, Raa.-
d>. Ruby and Savior—10.
Senator Fiaaa^tra being paired ofi
wita Senator Br.jagbton, did aor
vote; otherwise would have vote:
in the affirm *t;ve.
Senator Fianagan moved to re>
consider the vote just taken, and to
lay that motion on the table. Car-
ried.
It is confilantlv believed that the
Governor will approve this bill, and
in that case, the people will once
more have the opportnnity to elect
all of their officers. The Senators,
who drew the four and six year
terms, and yet supported the bill,
deserve great credit, and its effect
is to put them out of office, and to
require them again to submit their
claims to tbe people, if tbey wish to
come back here.
The Legislature has*not yet fixed
a day for adjournment, but it seems
to be generally understood by the
members that tbey will adjourn the
first of next week. W.

The human skin is as fall of holes as a
fine sieve. Through these millions of ori-
fices a considerable portion of the waBte
matter of the system exudes. But in warm
summer weather, when the flow of perspi-
ration is excessively copious, something
besides the exhausted material of the body
is evaporated. Nutritive elements of the
blood, required for the sustenance and sup-
port of the living frame, pass through the
pores, and the result is a loss of strength
and vigor. It would be dangerous to
check the leakage, for every pore is at once
a ventilation and an escape pipe, and coo*'
stipation of tbe s&in is as detrimental to
health as constipation of tbe bowels. Tbe
wisest course is to reinforce and vitalize
the languid system with Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, and thus enable it to bear with-
out peril or inconvenience the extraordina?
ry drain. The debility, lassitude and de-
