TUESDAY, JULY 21, 1874.
Time between Galveston and Phi-
ladelphia is three days and nine
hours.
The Galveston News thinks that
if the Grangers want to go into poli-
tics, they have a perfect right to do
so; and we think so too. Why not t
Killing cattle for their hides
prevails to an alarming exteut, and
the Oakville Tribune says it must be
encouraged by traders who buy
hides without official inspection.
We think this must be so. Let tli«, tfitli the rest of the Union via Hous
suffering much loss peculiarly in
not completing the seventy miles
yet unbuilt to San Antonio from
Ouero, the present terminus. The
completion of our railway to Austin
and San Antonio would command
all the freight and passenger travel
through Western Texas, and give
employment to a large fleet of steam-
.ships and sail vessels^ both irom
domestic as well as foreign ports.
It has already been intimated to
us that should our bar be improved
to a greater debtb, no delay would
be manifested in placing immediat-
ely a direct lino of steamships to
New York.—1ml. Bulletin.
We hold the same politics as our
contemborary—the politics of inter-
nal improvement, and we belong to
the same party.—the party for the
development of Western Texas. We
have taken hold of that work in
downright earnest, and we do not
intend to stop until there is a mil-
lion population West of the Colora-
do; until we have railroad connection
with the Gult via Indianola and
Galveston, and railroad connection
/Grand Juries begin to look sharply
after such dealers.
The Indianola Bvlletin says that
"the 6th district is Western Texas;
and what Western Texas wants to
make it the garden spot of the
Union, is population; and to give it
population it is only necessary to
improve the harbors on its coast,
and the only way to do this is
through the aid of the general gov
eminent. That it is the duty of the
government to extend its aid to
these improvements cannot be de
nied.''
The Brownsville Ranchero is one
of our ablest and most interesting
exchanges, but we are annoyed on
the reception of every issue by find
iug the editorials eaten through in
the middle by mise, or something
else, on both the outside and inside.
This break is just as regular as the
appearance of the paper. We hope
our valued contemporary may be
able to remedy the evil.
ton'and New Orleans, the Interna-
taounl railroad, and the Texas and
Pacific railroad, as well as by the
Central railroad; and until the har-
bors of Western Texas are improved,
and railroads built West across the
llio Grande through Mexico to the
Pacific.
We give the figures of the Bulle-
tin without having examined into
their correctness. But we want the
three roads—to Indianola, Galves-
ton, and via Austin to St. Louis.
We waut the advantage of com-
petition, and the increased trade
and immigration. And we are bound
to have the three outlets in a very
short time. And Indianola will cer-
tainly have her bar looked after at
the coming session of Congress.
rThere is a bright future before West-
ern Texas.
An Axti-Rmliioad Party is clearly
sought to bo entablished in this State, and
Gov Coko, Judge Ireland, and other oppo-
nents of the just lights of the Internation-
al Railroad are at the head of it. An
Austin correspondent of tho Galveston
News, speaking of the lato Supreme Court
decision, says:
It Is Impossible to pay what may be the
effect of this strange decision on the poli-
tics or material interests of our State. I
cau not but, fear the worst, though it is to
be hoped I may be mistaken, I think it
has been the objcct of certain ambitious
men to get up a great anti-railroad party,
and lo prescribe all who have ever had
any connections with railroads, or who
liouesUy desire to see the improvement
and development of the State. Whether
demagogues are to be successful in hum-
bugging tlio pfi3|de against their best
interests, and ruling tho ftate for their
own individual importance, remains to bo
seen. I confess to a deep disappointment
in regard to some of onr high officials,
whom the noble Democracy of Texas have
placed in position.
And the Galveston K w», in defense of
Gov. Throckmorton against the charges of
the same ring, says :
Just here we broadly assert that for a

The Brownsville Ranchcro is ter
ribly but justly severe upon the de
magogues who persneaded the peo
pie to elect them to the control of
State aflairs by large promises,
which they have violated, and by
violent denunciations ot tho previ-
ous administration, which was a
thousand times better than the pres-
ent one. If the people of Texas
elect a siugle supporter of Coke's
administration to Congress this
fall, they will deserve all they are
now suffering, and all tho contempt
that will be heaped on them at
Washington City. •
ditiou is not sis favorable as was at first
reported. He lias feverish symptoms, and
slept little on Tuesday night. Bismarck
has had another interview with Kullmau.
The latter now asserts that he planned
the shooting himself; that lie was insti-
gated 1o tho deed by nobody, and has 110
accomplices.
Bismarck says that his escape with so
slight an injury was miraculous, as his
hand was toncLing his hat when wounded.
I-Iis coachman, fearing a secoud shot,
struck Kullmau across the face. Police
have been sent to Kissengen to prevent a
repetition of the attack. Evidence lias
been discovered of a conspiracy to take
his life.

The debate on Magne's tax proposals
was continued in the Assembly to-day.
The Minister, in referring to the vote on
the salt tax, accused the Republican Dep-
uties of subordinating the financial in-
terests of the country to political consid-
erations. This was followed by a scene
of tumult and disorder, which compelled
President Buffet to suspend the sitting.
Subsequently, the Minister's proposition
to increaso certain taxes was rejected by
330 to 256. This result involves the defeat
of Magne's entire financial plans.
Ventavon made a report on the various
constitutional propositions. The commit-
tee rccognizes the irrevocability of Presi
dent McMahon's powers. The committee
decides to set aside Perrier's bill and sub-
stitute their own, which consists of six
clauses.
The first maintains the title of Presi-
dent of the Republic; the second estab-
lishes ministerial responsibility ; the third
confers legislative power upon the two
Chambers—tlie appointment of members
of the Upper House, or Senate, to bo the
subject of a future bill; the fourth pro-
vides that the President alone is author-
ized to dissolve the Lower House or Cham-
ber of Deputies ; tho fifth prescribes that
Congress, or both Chambers, shall provide
for the condonation of tho government 111
case Marshal McMahon dies, resigns, or
reaches tie «nd of his term; the sixth
says no modification in the constitutional
law is to bo al|owed, unless first proposed
by the President.
The assembly appointed Monday next
for debate on the report.
All Parliamentary parties are disap-
pointed. Tho Left Center Committee's
bill aims at a dictatorship, without put-
ting an end to party agitation.
The Legitimists and Imperialists are
also against it, and its rejection is consid-
ered certain.
Mague, Minister of Finance, tendered
his resignation. He will continue in office
until his successor is appointed.
A special dispatch to the limes, from
Paris, says M. Pages Dupont gave notice
of an ameudmeut to the bill reported from
the Committee of Thirty, by Ventovai >
providing that the Senate shall consist of
100 members, to be nominated by McMa-
hon, and 130 members of the Assembly, to
bo selected by tho deputies from separate
departments; that cardiuals, marshals,
and admirals shall bo Senators ex-efficio ;
that the first Seuatj shall sit three years,
and the next six, or more, according to
the decision of the Assembly; that the Pre-
sident of the Republic, in tho event of a
vacancy between tho adjournment of tho
presout assembly and the meeting of tho
next one, shall b« empowered to dissolve
the Assembly, with tho approval of tho
Senate.
Indian Fight in Jack Cannlj-,
by a toreign vessel. That is just
the way it slipped into Slireveport
last year in a Mexican circus com-
pany. Let every avenue be closed
against it this year, for there is
great danger. We trust the Gal-
veston Civilian will not do itself and
the State the injustice of confound-
inent and so capable.
And just here wo unhesitatingly say
that any man who shall come before the
people of this State and boast as a special
merit that he is an anti-railroad man,
must be either an idiot or an uuscrupulous
and pestilent demagogue.
It would seem almost incredible, indeed,
that any political aspirant in Texas should
think of being floated into Congress, or in-
to any other high publio position, on an
anti-railroad platform, when it is so clear
to all intelligent observers that, at this

Last Friday about 25 miles north-west
of this place a baud of Iudiaus aud a por
tion of the Wiso county rangers collided ;
the former being in superior force, caused
the rangers to retire with the loss of one
man killed and several wounded. Later
in the day tho Indians attacked J. C. Lov-
iiigs rauctio in Lost Vulley, Jack county,
15 miles distant. After a hard fight tho
Indians got oft' with several horses and
killing one John Heath, au employee of
Mr. Loving, who was shot through the
head.
A courier was immediately dispatched
to Fort Richardson for arms and assist-
ance, and in one hour and twenty minutes
twenty.cavalrymen were at full speed for
the seat of war. On their arrival there,
not au Indian could be seen nor a trace
found.

During to-day the Indians with a heavy
force again attacked tlie combined force
of rangers, and, after five hours' hard
1 fighting, night closed the fight, leaving
the Indians holding tho field, and having
the rangers surrounded. Msj. Jones, of
the rangers, sent a courier to the post
commander f«r immediate assistance, stat-
ing that he had three men killed, five
wounded, and fifteen missing. Ho report-
ed also twelve horses killed. Mr. Loving
mites that the Indians with their long
range gu.-s wore able to keep the rangers
off, who are armed with Winchester riiles.
Within an hour 100 cavalrymen again
mounted their horses, aud going at tho
top of their speed, would put them in the
Viilley at one o'clock this morning.
The estimate of the number of I.' 1 -oh
puts them at from 100 to 150.

DE. W. BILLE,
FROM
New Orleans,
A graduate from the University of Co-
penhagen, Denmark; Honorary M. D. from
the University of Padova, Italy; for sever-
al years assistant Physician to the cele-
brated Prof, liicord, Paris.
Having been for years a student at the
large hospitals of Paris, Londou, Vienna
and Copenhagen, and a thorough, largo and
varied practice during 15 years, has gain,
ed the most thorough knowledge of the
nature of all chronic diseases and the
treatment llioreof, and he has in bis exten-
sive practice had au unparalleled success,
and very often effected a cure where every
remedy had been tried and nil hope of
restoration of health had beeu despaired
of.
Nobody who ever,suffered of the tedions
aud life imbittering disease—DYSPEPSIA
— has ever in vain called 011 Dr. Billo. I11
every case has he by his new method of
treatment restored the functions of the
stomach, and with it the health and vigor
of tho patient, and many a person does to-
day, with grnt.itnds, recall the moment he
placed himself nuder Dr. Billo's cure.
For his treatment of LADIES' DISEAS-
ES, Dr. Billo is deservedly renowned,
and no lady suffering fiom AMKNOIi-
RHOSA, HYSTERIA, PROLAPSUS UTERI
or any other disease peculiar to the female
system, should fail to call 011 Dr.
Bille, as they will quickly be releived of
their suffering and ultimately restored to
perfect health.
DiM'iiM'M of it Private !\atiiie
Dr. Bille has made a speciality, and this
scourge of humanity, unsuccessfully treat-
ed by most practitioners, is ea«y and
quickly overcome by bis new treatment.
Being ft pupil of the most renowned Phy-
sician for syphilitic diseases in tho world,
Prof. Ricord, iu Paris, Dr. Bille will al-
ways guarantee a euro in any case of
syphilitic disease which may come under
his treatment; and hundreds in this city
and vicinity can testify that in cases of
syphilitic nature, where other physicians
have failed, Dr. Bille has always been suc-
cessful.
NERVOUS DEBILITY, SEMINAL
WEAKNESS, 1MPOTENCY, either caused
by age or abuse, quickly and permanently
relieved, and full power restored.
Dr. Bille wishes to call particular atten-
tion to his new discovery, by which lie
can, by the help of microscope and chem-
istry, "discover if there is any syphilitic
poison in the blood, which is of tho great-
est importance, as persons having had
venereal diseases often believe themselves
cure ), and tho poison still remains in the
blood to break out sooner or later. Dr.
Bille has resided in New Orleans for years,
is endorsed by the best citizens there, and
by his skill, knowledge and successful
cures lias obtained a great reputation as a
specialist.
