WHAT TUB TEXAS DELEGATION
AND THEIR SOCTIIEHN ASSO
CIATES HAVE HEFOHE TfaBiTI
AT WASHINGTON.
The "solid South" is again the war
crv of Northern Republicanism. It
signifies of course the "solid North"
and tbe weaker solidity goes to the
wall In 1880. Moreover while the
Democrats control both branches of
Congress the Republicans are respon
sible for the conduct of the President.
His adyisers are among tbo fore
most men in America. Evans and
Thompson of the Cabinet are unsur
passed in learning and both were
reared conservatives. They will prob
ably stand still but carefully guard
! against any false step in any di
rection. The result of the next presi
dential election depends mainly upon
the relative wisdom of the two
branches of the government ; the one
directed and controlled by tbe Demo
crats; the other by the Republican
PresidentHsyes and his Cabinet. Un
fortunately there Is no perfect unity
among Democrats in the House or Sen
ate. Bayard the most admirable and
personally the most popular of his
party and most esteemed for his mora
heroism and faultless taste and learn

Tburman deemed the senatorial leader
of bis party baa been trimming
tbe sails that shape the course of
tbe bark of his political fortunes
to catch the winds from all quarters

dricks stands first and foremost and
whether the Democracy can elect even
such citizen as thip with such a bis
tory depends as we have stated upon
the extent to which the Democracy in
the House and Senate succeed in dis
" pulling this unfortunate impression
pntiing the North that the war
A 136(PKia ouly transferred to the
arena of politic. and that the South
j is still ia arms against tbe
North. Everywhere in tbe Soutb.even
in districts in which negroes outnum
ber whites as two to one. Radical can
didates have been thoroughly beaten
ana wnue men elected uj one or
another means carpet-baggers have
been thwarted of their purposes and
for tbe first time the negroes have vol
ed for one of their own number or for
Southern white men. Even here in
this capital district of Texas the ne
groe as advised by their white lead-
. era and owners have voted for a rebel
in opposition to Uancock the staunch
est Unionist the South has known.
Northers- people and party-leaders
doaot comprehend these facts.
e Know mat .Northern news
papers end party-leaders as Bishop
Haven will attest when he returns
to Boston utterly misrepresent the
facts and give false reasons for them
Wn do not believe there has been an
instance of technical bulldozing" in
Texas. A case of tbe sort has been
asserted to exist in one of the southern
counties of the State but it la the only
instance that baa occurred an) where
west of the Mississippi. There was
no seed for it. Colored voters like
white voters everywhere have lost
thsir reckoning. Conning over the
returns ia Texas we discover that the
independent white voter is no myth
and tbe colored were wofulij con
;jsea wnea uavis was going one

utterly disrupted not only ia Massa

if this Democratic Congress act wisely

THE "SOLID OCTII' AMD JONES
AND IHNCOtK
In Bastrop county as was true wher
ever negroes were absolatc'y rousilcss
tbe rcciDt cnDrv.-fc'.oijnl ilie!i.j:i was
the Ycriesr emptiest farce. No person
can dislioxui.il cue ucro in a Ihou-
saod from another and when negroes
manage tlie ballot-boxes and are judges
of elections the lrxee are stuffed ad
libitum. . Wherever these voters are
unrtsra;ncd by fear they are wholly
conscienceless as shown in the retains
from all tbe benegaiubi&n counties by
which HtDcrck is slaughtered. It is a
great pity that knavish Radicalism
in order to control Congress invested
blacks with the power to make con
gressmen and it is a grett shame that
Unionism ha3 bpen betrayed by the
sweet Scnegambiane who have ab90
lately voted with perfect unanimity
against a staunch Unionist and for the
practical sereeiioniat. The f fleet down
in Bjston should Iw healthful. It will
be a sad confession when the Inter-
Ocean mint admit thit Haucfuk was
supported by all the white? except a
few hundred extreme and violent men
and Jones was elected by the negroes.
Will the Inter-Ocean and fUJie Demo-
crat publish these facta? The world
would infer thut the "solid South" as
is described by these papers does not
and cannot exist.
Titf. thoroughness of popular de-
pravity and extent of the infection
that prisons popular morals is shown
in tLe fact that the weakness of the
President results from his efforts to
enforce reform and honest practices in
the administration of public offices.
Tbe engerness with which c flices are
sought and corruptness of their ad-
ministration are condemned by the
Ptesident. He lias thus made count-
less enemies while Grant's boundless
influence is mainly due to the reck-
lessness with which he suffered his
parasites and favorites to plunder the
people. lie sent his confessor at
public cost around the globe and
poor Hayes hardly dares to thrust a
nickel into the siver platter when
chucktd under bis elongated nose each
Sunday. It is a queer world and in a sad
way when honesty is at a discount and a
spendthrift and reckless squanderer
of public mocey is the strongest possi-
ble Republican ctcdidate for the presi-
dency. Grant in buying the leader
bought the mob. We are often told
that however infamously and con-
fessedly corrupt the country's present
rulers may be it is better to endure
them than substitute a fresh swarm of
starved flies. There was supposed to
be a share of truth and wisdom in this
suggestion till we had sei how it is
true that these Republicans surfeited
as we supposed with plunder were
subjected to muny restraints by Presi
dent Hayes. They become fiercely in
dignant. They are his vindictive ene
mies. They ally themselves with
Conkling and Blaine. They proclaim
Grant's praies without ceasing.
fresh swarm of Democrats is infinitely
to be preferred to tbe hive of drones
that swarmed in Washington when
Grant reigned.
It seems that ono hundred and for

Chandler tries to count them out by

Democrats by "intimidation" and

against Democrats in these districts
are to bo instituted in the Federal
courts under tbe operation of tbe bay
onet act technically termed tbe Fed
cral election law ; avalanches of negro
affidavits are to be gathered and
poured over the North through the
columns of the Radiol press to fire the
heart and produce a popular feeling in
that section sufficiently bitter to toler
ate and sustain the revolutionary
measure contemplated. Then the

Thk Statesman never once adverted
to differences between the original se
cessionists and John Hancock till tbe
Flournoy party at Gtlveston issued
their pleasing circular in which it was
said that no true Southerner could vote
for Hancock a straight Unionist. In
the presence of these facts the G roes-
beck Arte Fni says:
Not content to discuss present and
living issues the Statesman was con-
stantly stirring up the dead ahcs of
the past and parading Hancock's past
record before the public and urging as
a reason why he should be elected. that
he was a Union maa and commanded
greater degree of rep;ct in the
North than any other Southern con-
gressman. Ia the mind cf the average
Southern voter if is about tfme South
ern people should be heard aud South-
ern interests represented in the balls
of Congress and there is no one so ca
pable of doing that as a genuine
Southerner.
We have had enough to do with
these extreme Eery flighty absurd.
nonsensical people. Our leaders should
be of a different class and cane dis
creet statesmen sbtnld le substituted
for those who appeal simply to the
self-love and local pride of the South
and the resnltins antagonism of the
omnipotent North.

It is seated in a dispatch from Mem
phis that the yellow fever commission
ers in their forthcoming report will
advocate a system of national q-iArt-tiuc
under direction of the United
States government. The commission-
ers are couviacsd fr m their invcstlga-
t'ons that yellow fever is not indige-
nous ia the atinosphtrrc in any partcf
the United State? acd that in New
Orleans it was cjihc 1 by importation.
Whatever doubt tlierc Diny be in the
case of New Orleans thirds no doubt
but that it wa carried from New Or
leans to every otLer point. The di
eaac d s nt t seem to be prevented
from prevailing epidemically either
by distance from the sea level as ua-
der favorable circumstances for its dis
semination it might prevail in any
part of the United States. Heretofore
seaboard quarantines as fir aa the
Gulf of Mexico is c n:eroed and mak
ing excrption tl.is year in the case of
lt-xas linve l.oen inadequate to pre
vent the intrndut'tiPB of the disease.
The difliculties of inland quarantine
are so tunny and so grest in cases of
towns on the Mississippi river or in
ca-es of towns bavinr extensive rail
road connections as to he almost prac
tically impossible. With this view of
facts the coiunmsioners are of the
opinion that the ouly reasonable pro-
tection to keep yellow fever from this
country is a system of strict national
sea-shore quarantine.
It will be observed by the readers of
this paper that these learned gentle-

That ghastly good paper the Groes-
beck Xeir L'rs says: John Hancock

will indulge in auv great amount of
sorrow in his behalf. For the Demo
cratic paity of the fifth district the
members of which were driven into
the nomination of Hancock oyer Seth

setti bhepard could have beaten
Wash Jones and spared the Democrat
ic party the disgruce and defeat it has
sulleredrand it would haye been done
but for the presence in the Brenbam
convention of a few men calling them'
selves Democrats who thought Han

We print this nice excerpt from a
sore-head ultra Democratic organ to

We have no statistics affecting the
peanut crop of Texas. In fact we are
not sure that our Italian friend.' who
vend them about the streets do not
import the nuts from Georgia. It is a
most profitable product of the soil and
cots almost nothing. While other
States produce loss Texas should sup
ply the world's markets with pecan9.
walnuts and "goobers." The Boston
llcrall says that in Id?? the peanut
crop of the three Slate Virginia Ten
nessce and North Carolina amounted
to 1405000 bushels while for the
year ending September 28 1873 it
was only 705000 bushels. It makes
no great d; IK-re nee after all what
ineaus the S )uth adopts to square ac
count? po'iiticnlly with the North
the latter section can etaud it aud bide
its time. But if they're going back
on our peanuts in that way New Eug
land at least will have to give in.
In his excellency's last proclama-
tion occurs the following queer para-
graph :
From every village city and State of
tho North South E wt and West have
poured contributions of subsistence
and money and in many instauces have
also gone noble self-3acriticing men
and women who have died by the
couch of the sufferers and at the post
of duty. For a! these blessings the
people should return thanks to the
cyer living God.
"For all the blessinga" including of
course the death of those coble men
and women "tho people should return
thanks" the Governor says "to the
ever hying God."
Tiie gallant Gen. Chalmers of Mis-
sissippi is still cor fined to his room at
St. Joseph's Infirmary at Louisville
Kentucky but we are glad to report
him convalescent. The General's re-
election to the next Congress without
a personal canvass md by an increased
majority is one of the notable signs of
the times. The colored people are in
tbe majority in his district which cx
tends almost from Memphis to New
Orleans along the Mississippi river.

Now that Dr. Rutherford has lifted
the quarantine at Houston we think
Ualveston might afford to trust to

Of late blown over the plains come
stones of strange newly discovered
cities of the far Southwest; picturesqe
piles of masonry of an age unknown
to tradition. These ruius mark an era
among antiquarians. The mysterious
mnund-builacrs fade into comparative
insignificance before the grander and
more ancient clill-1 wellers whose cas
ties lift ther towers amid the sands of
Ari.ina and crown the terraced slopes
of the R'.o Mancos aud the Iloven-
weep.
A ruin accidentally discovered by
A. D. WiIsod of the llayden survey
several years ago while he was pursu
ing bis labors as chief of the tope
graphical corps in Southern Colorado
is described to me by Mr. Wilson as a
stone building about the size of the
I'M'nnr Orllep. Tt stood noon the bank
of the Animas in the San Juan coun
try and contained perhaps five bun
dred rooms. The roof and portions of
the walls bad fallen but the part
standing indicated a height of four
stories. A number of the rooms were
fairly preserved had small loop-hole
windows but no outer doors. The
building bad doubtless been entered
originally by means of ladders resting
on niches and cirawj in alter the oc-
cupants. The floors were of cedar each
log as large around as a man's head.
tbe e paces filled neatly by smaller
poles aud twigs covered by a carpet
or cedar bark. The ends of the tun
ber were bruised and frayed as If sev
ercd by a dull instrument; in the vi-
cinity were 8' one hatchets and saws
made of sandstone slivers about two
feet long worn to a smooth edge.
A few hundred yards from the mam
moth building was a second large
house in ruins and between the two
strongholds rows of email dwellings
built of cobble stones laid in add.
and arranged along streets after the
.style or the village of to-day. The
smaller houses were in a more ad
vanced etato of ruin on account of the
round stones being more readily dis-
integrated by the elements than the
heavy masonry. The streets and
houses of this deserted town are over
grown by juniper and pinion the
later a dwarf wide -spreading pine
which bean beneath the scales of
its cones delicious and nutritious
nuts. From the size of the
dead as well as the living
trees and from their position on the
heaps of crumbling stone Mr. Wilson
concludes that a great period of time
has elapsed since the building fell.
How many hundred years they stood
after desertion before yielding to the
inroads of time cannot be certainly
known.
The presence of sound wood in the
houses does not set aside their anti
quity. In the dry pure air of Southern
Colorado wood fairly protected will
last for centuries. Ia Asia cedar wood
has been kept a thousand years and in
Egypt cedar is known to have been in
perfect preservation two thousand years
after it left the forest. Tbe cedars
throughout t he territories of tbe Suuth
west do not lot even in tbe groves.
Tbcy die and stand erect solid and
sapless. Tbe winds and whirling aanda
carve the dead trees into forms of
fantastic 'icauty drill holes through
the trunks and play at hide-and-zc-seck
in the perforated limbs until alter
ages of resistance they literally blow
away in atoms of fine clean dust.
On tbe Rio San Juan about twenty-
five miles distant from the City of the
Animas Mr. Wilson discovered the
following evening a similar pile loom
ing solemnly in the twilight near their
camping place. The scene as described
was weird ia the extreme. As tbe
moon arose the shadows of the phan-
tom buildings were thrown darkly1
cross tne silvery plain. Tne blaze of
camp fires the tiny tents the negro
cook the men in buckskin banting
garb and the picketed mules made a
strange picture of the summer's night.

Having recently visited your city.
and finding that a large portion of its
most intelligent and enterprising citi

from Austin by way of Lampasas to

crude ideas j.o your numerous readers
and ask the serious consideration of
your citizens and capitalists on the sub
ject. I here is no railroad Hint pene

direction. iNow ictus take a map and
see what amount of territory is tributary
to the route indicated and what amount
and kind of products arc raised for
transportation and sec if the road will
pay a good per cent on the investment

which constitute at this time the great

lie embedded the richest mines of coal
iron ana copper. I he counties afore
said and the adjacent territory have a
population of at least 00000 which is
annually increasing at a rapid rate so
much so that it is not uncommon for
one county to double or even triple its
population in one year. 1 hese coun
ties embrace the finest grain ri.

all other products do as well as else
where. A railroad now would
get the shipment of many thousands of
bales of cotton many hundred thou

The Fort Yuma daily stage line now
runs through Brown wood. This is a
gigantic enterprise giving employment
to several hundred men and makes
rapid speed from Fort Worth to Fort

dred miles. Tne extension of a rail
road to this place weuld make this the
terminus of said line and the railroad
the recipient of all its benefits as it
would be an artery of communi
ca'ion and hence ol trade from this
point to New Mexico. Smta Fe and
all the Panhandle country of Texas.
By a careful examination of all the
surroundings I do not believe that
there is a portion of the Uoited Stales
where a railroad of 140 milea in length
would drain a larger more fertile and
growing country than this or bate a
terminus that would concentrate a
larger amount of paying freight.
Again this road would have no com-
peting line while beyond Austin
