The Galveston and San Autonio
llsilroad is now a matter ot great
interest in all Western Texas. We
had an interview with our old friend,
Mr. iiraden, of tbis city, who has
just returned from Flatonia, nnd the
line of the road generally. He had
au interview with Col. Pierce, Pres
ident ot the road, and obtained the
following interesting and important
in formation:
The work on the San Marcos
bridge is being pushed to comple
tion. The whole line is graded from
Flatonia to the Sail Marcos. The
work of laying the ties is proceed-
ing rapidly, The road will be com-
pleted over Peach Creek to-day, and
will reach Waelder by Saturday
next. Waelder is twelve miles west
of Flatonia. The line to Harwood,
12 miles west of Waelder, is ready
ioi' the ties, and the road will reach
that point in two weeks. The next
station, not named as yet, will be
twelve miles west of Harwood, and
within two miles ot the San Marcos.
The road will reach that point by
the first ot August.
As to the work on the liue West
of the San Marcos, all is uncertain
ty. Col. Pierce said to Mr. Braden
that he is ready to push ahead to
San Antonio. He has 300 excellent
bands, Swedes and Norwegians,
with the very finest of railroad teams
and aparatus, and they are all ready
to grade the fifty miles between Mie
San Marcos and San Antonio. But
Col. Pierce is so determined not to
yield to the Ireland amendment,
and turn oft his liue to goby Seguin,
that he declares be> will stop work
at the San Marcos if that amend-
ment is enforced against him.
The prospect is, as it seems to ns,
that the road will stop at the San
Marcos, unless Col. Pierce has re-
liable legal counsel to the effect that
he can disregard the Ireland amend-
ment, and that he will wait until
the next meeting of the Legislature
in January, when he will seek relief
from it. It is estimated that the
increased expense of making the
road go by Segnin will be $120,000.
We understand that the citizens of
Seguin and Guadalupe county are
Hnwilling to bear any part of this
expense, and they have been very
exorbitant in their charges for right
of way. Yet they wish to force the
road to go by Seguin at great loss.
We take uo side in this contro-
versy. We-would, it we could, rather
act the part of a mediator, and have
the matter reconciled, so that the
road might proceed. Sun Antonio
find Western Texas are too deeply
interested to treat this matter light-
ly. Let this serious and damaging
quarrel be compromised, for the
good of all concerned, and let the
toad be pushed on to San Antonio
mated damages ot like character
which have since occiued; awl what
amount of damages to citizens of
the United State*; has been rejected
by the Mexican and American Joint
Commission for want of jurisdiction;
what other tribunal and with what
enlarged powers is necessary to se-
cure the rights of citizens of the
United States ; what further inea
sures and legislation are necessary
to preven t incursions across tiie Mex
icau frontier, and give early redress
for snch incursions; and also to in-
quire what further measures are
necessary to secure permanent
friendly relations and commerce be-
tween the two countries, and main-
tain the dignity of the United States
Government and the rights of its
citizens; and to report the result ot
such investigation at the earliest
day practicable, by a bill, resolution,
or otherwise."

Washington, June 11,1374.
Hancock presented to the bouse
yesterday a preamble and the follow-
ing resolution, which we referred to
the Committee on Foreign Affairs:
ilJteiolveJ, That the Committee on
Foreign Affairs of tbis House be,
and they are hereby instructed, to
inquire into the depredations ou
the Mexican border; their extent
and character; by whom and under
what circumstances commenced; the
amount of damages, as far as prac-
ticable, shown to have been sus
tained by American citizens, as well
as those proven before the lateMex-
icau Frontier Commision, as esti-
St. Marys, June 11.—Five young men
went to a Mexican ranche ou the Blanco
in soarch of the Swift murderers, and
were lired 011 by the Mexicaus, killing
Dan Holland, one of the party.
They then retreated, and soon getting
reinforcements, with the Sheriff of Goliad
county, they again surrounded the ranche
when the Mexicans surrendered, three in
number, but the ones suspected of tho
murder were not amongst them.
It is since reported that the Mexicans
were taken from the Sheriff's posse and
two of them shot, and 0110 "hung. No trace
of those implicated yet. Every effort is
being made to find them ; all are out that
can leave home.
BkoWN8VILI.k, June 11.—The only pos-
sible dauger that can be approhended for
crops along the Rio Grande is by an over-
flow of that stream, inundating the fields
along its border. The prcspcct for fine
yields is certainly extremely fluttering
now; and as to the early planting* of
corn, they cannot be affected by drought,
being so far matured as to be beyond its
reach. Corn that has been plumed later
is also looking remarkably well. An ave-
rage bean crop has already been gathered.
No worms are yet reported in tho cotton
fields. Many bolls are opening, aud pick-
ing will begin ou some farms in a few
days.
The sugar planters have a good pros-
pect betore them in the fine appearance
of the cane.
San Makcos, Jane 11.—This evening
about four o'clock the prisoners in the
county jail captured the jailur, took away
his arms and fastened him up in one of
the ceils. Fifteen of the seventeen prison-
ers then escaped from the jail and tied.
The most intense excitement ensued when
this became known, and uiany citizens
staited in immediat» pursuit of them.
After au exciting chase of two hours,
all but two of the prisoners were caught
and returned to their cells in the jail.
The two still at large aro Baker, a white
man, murderer of Ellison, and a negro
named Tuoker. The prisoners that were
taken were not hurt in any way except a
negro who was slightly wounded in tlio
head. Armed horsemen are scouring the
country for the two fugitives not yet
captured.
Austin, June 11. —The four judges qual-
ified to sit are equally divided in opinion
en (ho International mandamus ease,
hence the two opinions, if given, could
have 110 practical erteot. It uow devolves
on Gov. Coke to appoint a mom her of the
bar to sit with theso four judges in the
case. Judge \V. P. B.illingor has been 1
suggested.
Several papers will publish sensational
reports about the International bond
cose in the morning. They have no foun-
dation in fact, and are mere guesses or
partisan rumors.
Mr. McGraw, of Bryan, after the ad-
journment of the Federal Court, drew a
six-shooter on Col. Page, also of Bryan.
The bystanders prevented any mixchief
being done. The cause of the difficulty
was a false report of words alleged to
have been need by Col. Page.
The appropriations by the Fourteenth
Legislature were so meagre, that how to
tide over the maintenance of the State
institutions until next session is a very
important question.
One hundred and ninety-three indict-
ments of gaming were found by the Grand
Jury of tho District Court, three fourths
of them being merely lookers-on.
Houston, June 11.—Tho trial of Frank
Austin for the murder of the Irish railroad
laborer Ed. Hughes, at Cypress, on the
Centra! Railroad, on tho 31st of last De-
cember, was conclnded this evening. The
jury, after being out one hour, rendered a
vcrdict of mnrder in the second degree,
and assessed the punishment at fifteen
years in the penitentiary.
The County Conrt, this evening, or-
dered the County Attorney to bring suit
against ex Sheriff A. B. Hall.
Judge Reagan, General J. A. Augur, U.
S. A., and J. G. Pangborn, of the Kansas
City Times, are at the Hutcbins House to-
night. Gen. Augur is returning from a
visit to Washington to his regiment at
San Antonio, and Pangborn is looking
alter our Houstou and Galveston delega
tions.
Sr. Louis, Jane II—Ae Johannes Pierre,
and a woman accompanying hitn, were
boarding a westward-bound train at Jef-
ferson City yesterday warning, they were
oeofronted by Leopold Hcelderle, who
fired a pistol at Pierre, but without effect.
He then shot the woman in the breast, in-
flicting a dangerous wound, and fired two
•hots in hia own body, dying in two hears
The woman formerly lived with Hudder-
le's wife.
Providkncs,' Juno 11.—Tho fifth joint

Dixon, 20; Barstovr, 10; scattering, 17.
Siirkvkport, June It.—Eil. Lucas, aliat
Seott, a negro, was arrested to-day near
this city for complicity in the Elliot mur
der. While being conducted to town he
was taken from bis capters and hung by
the vigilants, ho being the third person
hung by them for this murder.
Paris. Juno 12—A largo and excited
crowd assembled at the Western Depot to-
day at the time for departure of the Depu-
ties for Versailles. Gambetta was greeted
with cheers and hissei. The police at-
tempted to dispersa tho crowd, handling
them rather roughly in soinu instanu s.
M, Letrure, Deputy of the Left, was arrest-
ed, but subsequently released. A
arose, and Gambetta was again insulted.
Tlio polico cleared the station,
Paris, Juno 13.—Count St. Croix, npon
his arrest last night for striking Gambet-
ta, told the police that the object of his
assault was to provoke a duel. The Count
was formerly an officer of Zuaves of the
Imperial Guards. Gainbetta's face yet
bears the mark of the blow given him.
Several persons, in addition to Count St.
Croix, were arrested by the polioe at the
railway station, at the time of the tumult.
Paris, June 12.—The scenes of jester-
day were literally repeated at the Western
Depot to day, at tbe time of departure of
the Parliamentary train for Versailles, and
the populace again assembled in large
numbers, and tbe Deputies were respect
ively insulted and cheered. The police
once more dispersed the rioters and took
12 of the more violent of them in custody:
eo threatening was the demonstration that
a body of troops was ordered to the station
to maintain order
Armand Adaua, of theCliamberof Depn
ties, and Spieller, brother of the publisher
of La Repttblique Francaiso, a Radical
Republican Journal, were among thoje
arrested.
The government has suspended the pub-
lication of Le Siecle and Le Rappel, Radi-
cal.
Le Rappel {Radical Republican newspa-
per) and Le Dixnevvieme Siecle (conserv-
ative Republican organ) have been ana.
ponded becanse of violent attacks upon
the policy of Paul de Cassngnao The edi-
tor of Le Pays replies iu that journal to
day to demand of Schoelher and Testelin,
who were delegated by the Republicans
to demand armed reparation for his ar
ticle attacking members of the Left Cen-
ter. He says therein that he assaulted
Gambetta and other Deputies, but not
Clemencean, who is not, therefore, enti-
tled to reparation. But, snysDeCasagnac
if Clemencean wants reparation be can
have it. De Cassagnao says lie particn
larly wants to fight Gambetta, and adds
that nine members of the editorial staff
of Le Pays are willing to fight nine of the
Republican Deputies and draw lots for the
choice of adversaries and of arms,

New Orleans,
A graduate from the University of Co-
penhagen, Denmark; Honorary M. D. from
tbe University of Padova, Italy; for sever'
al years assistant Physician to tho cele-
brated Prof. Ricord, Paris.
Having been for years a student at the
large hospitals of Paris, London, Vienna
and Copenhagen, and a thorough, large and
varied prnetice during 15 years, has gain,
ed the most thorough knowledge of the
nature of all chronic diseases and the
treatment thereof, atid ho has in bis exten-
sive practice had au unparalleled success,
and very often effected a cure where every
remedy had boon tried and all hope of
restoration of hoalth had been despaired
of.
Nobody who ever.suffered of the tedious
and life lmbitteriiig disease—DYSPEPSIA
has ever in vain called ou Dr. Billa I11
every case has he by his now method of
treatment restored the fuuotions of the
stomach, and with it the health and vigor
of tbe patient, and many a person does to-
day, with gratitnds, recall the moment he
placed himself uuder Dr. Bille's cure.
For bis treatment of LADIES' DISEAS-
ES, Dr. Bille is deservedly renowned,
and no lady suffering from AMKNOR
RHCEA, HYSTERIA, PROLAPSUS UTERI
or any other disease peculiar to the female
system, should fail to call on Dr.
Bille, as they will quickly be releived of
their suffering and ultimately restored to
perfect hoalth.
Diseases of a Private Nature
Dr. Billo has made a speciality, and this
scourge of humanity, unsuccessfully treat-
ed by most practitioners, is easy and
quickly overcome by his new treatment.
Being a pupil of the most renowned Phy-
sioian for syphilitic diseases in the world,
Prof. Ricord, in Paris, Dr. Bille will al-
ways guarantee a cure in any case of
syphilitic disease which may come under
his treatment; and hundreds in this city
and vicinity cau testify that in cases of
syphilitic nature, where other physicians
have failed, Dr. Bille has always been suc-
cessful.
NERVOUS DEBILITY, SEMINAL
WEAKNESS, IMPOTENCY, either caused
by age or abuse, quickly and permanently
relieved, aud full power restored.
No man is too old and no young man
too debilitated that he can not be com-
pletely reinvigorated and rejuvenated by
the treatment of Dr. W. Bille.
Dr. Bille wishes to call particular atten-
tion to hia new discovery, by which be
can, by the help of microscope and chem-
istry, discover il there is any syphilitic
poison in the blood, which is of the great-
est importance, as persons having had
venereal diseases often believe themselves
enrert, and tbe poison still remains in the
blood to break out sooner or later. Dr.'
Bille has resided in New Orleans lor years,
is endorsed by the best citizens there, and
by hia skill, knowledge and successful
cures has obtained a great reputation as a
specialist.
