Railroad men arc supposed, us a gen-
eral thing, to h ive very little relish
for water transportation. Hat it hap-
pens that quite a number of this im-
portant and not uninfluential class of
persons And them selves, perforce, in
the same boat with the people of Texas
as regards a threatened overthrow of
right, of civil government, an.l politi-
cal liberty, to gratify a greedy and
reckless faction. In spite of a familiar
tome contrary, we m» mtmu iuoi«
company in misfortune. But it is cer-'
tain tliat If our boat goes down in
any storm that may impend, their rail-
road interests will ba wrecked just as
badly as our domestic welfare ami pros-
perity. As before intimated, they are
i.ot without importance and influence
in relation to counsels and purposes in
the highest seats of authority. Upon
the mere principle of self preservation,
they are called to bestir themselves in
that direction without a moment's delay,
liy failing to do their utmost to avert a
monstrous wrong, meditated against
this people, they would invite a stu-
pendous disaster to themselves.
A NEW ELECTION I''OK I.OIISI-
ANi-THE MEDITATED OI T-
It AGE IPOS TEXAS.
The belief has been steadily growing
among intelligent observers at Wash-
ington and elsewhere, that Congress
will put an end to the qtiasi-revolu-
tionary condition existing in Louisiana
since the State was politically thugged
in a midnight order of an inebriate
judge, by ordering a new election for
State otHcers and u Legislature. At
length this belief has taken the con-
sistency of a conviction, and it is even
claimed, upon a«urances from author-
itative ■sources at Wnshin^ton, that the
President favors the measure as the
most decent method of mitigating his
share of responsibility for a state of
things which lias excited the abhor-
rence and disgust of good muu and of
statesmanlike thinkers, regardless ol
party, from one end of the country to
the other. In Louisiana the probable
imminency of such a solution is
regarded with undisguised satisfac-
tion by all who wish to rescue
the State from the grim alternatives of
tyranny and anarchy by giving lawful
ascendency to a true expression of the
popular will.
While the leaders at the dominant
p*iiy feel constrained by public opinion
to acknowlege the injustice of what
was done by abused Federal authority
in Lotfisiam, and to sti» iy how they
may with the best grace undo the
wrong, it seems almost incredible
that graceless officials and aspirants of
the same party in Texas should dare to
ask, or dream of receiving, the aid of
the President and the sanction of Con-
gress in putting a usurpation in-
tinitely more flagrant and infamous
upon this State.
In Louisiana there was some colora-
ble ground for denying that there had
been a free, fair and d-cisive expres-
sion of the popular will at the ballot-
box. Hut in Testis there is not even a

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
Advices from the capital confirm our
views of yesterday morning that the
tendency of events was toward a solu-
tion of the tenure of office troubles
without serious embarrassments.
The advices received by the Governor
from Washington are reported to have
been anything but what had been
hoped for, and Radical placemen and
plunder-hunters were disappointed ac-
cordingly. If Gov. Davis will follow
the instruction said to have been re-
ceived from Washington, to obey the
Constitution, nothing more will be
desired.
The mission of Secretary of State
Newcomb, to military headquarters at
San Antonio, appears to have been
fruitful only of disappointment to the
hopes of that presumptuous aspirant.
No grains of comfort could be gath-
ered from Gen. Augur, and the dap-
per Secretary was compelled to tele-
graph his lack of success to his coad-
jutors at Austin. It is positively as-
serted at San Antonio that Gen. Augur
has no instructions regarding the deci-
sion of the Supreme Court, and the
g.illant General himself asserts his be-
lief that the military will not be called
on to take part in the controversy.
While the same conciliatory feeling
prevails in the minds of representa-
tives of the people as to details of ami-
cable arrangement, there has been no
relinquishment of the firm resolve to
submit to no compromise that would
affect the rights of representatives or
tend to thwart the wishes of the peo
pie.
The Legislature will proceed to or-
ganize on Tuesday, and the belief is
general that Gov. Davis will put him-
self in communication with it as soon
as officially notified that the General
Assembly is ready to receive whatever
message he may have'to communicate.
Our midnight special from Washing-
ton makes no mention of Texas affairs,
which shows pretty conclusively that
Federal interference in our political
troubles is not contemplated at this
stage of proceedings at all events.
From New York there are assurances
that financial and railroad managers
are watching the course of Texas
affairs with eager interest, with a de-
cided aversion to Federal interference.
The gentlemen referred to, understand
the merits of the controversy, and
confide in the integrity of officers
elected, on the second of December last;
hence their anxiety to see them inau-
gurated, in order that the internal im-
provements of the State may be push-
ed forward without interruption.
STATE RIGHTS AND WRONGS.
Those who imagine that the rights
of the people of certain States to rep-
resentative government may be set
aside and a minority or military gov-
ernment imposed upon them, without
impairing the liberties of the people of
all other States, taka a very narrow
view of the subject. What has been
enacted, and still exists, in Louisiana,
is already made the precedent for what
may be done in other States, and what
is now threatened in T.'jxas. States
which complacently or supinely witness
such outrages to their neighbors may
vio. iii.'in differently when imposed
upon or brought home to themselves.
Amotg those who have recently spoken
out on the subject is Gov. Woodson, of
Missouri, who, in his last message,
says:
I can not allow myself to pass, with-
out notice in this communication, the
unsurpassed outrages committed so re-
cently upon the rights of Louisiana,
as one of the sovereign States of the
American Union, if not at the instance,
at least by the consent of the President
of the United States.
We have seen a District Judge, with-
out a shadow of authority, backed by
Federal soldiers, hurling from office
f doubting the result of an the duly elected servants of the people,
slection, which i^ is proposed to set | and setting up those they had refused
aside for the avowed purpose of tie
priving the people; of a Legislature
and State Administration of their
choice. Under different circumstances
we could not believe the possibility of
such a scheme having been mentally
formed. But its authors have not even
had the poor decency to try to vail the
meditated atrocity. The infamy is
open, palpable, beneath shainc and the
power of blushing. Until convinced
by facts to the contrary, we shall repel
the idea that the President and Con-
gress stand on no higher level, politi-
cal and mora), than the level of this
infamv.

H
ichment and economy are be-
ginning to have some meaning in poli-
tics. The peoplo have at length grown
weary of over-taxation for the benefit
of sinecure office-holders and rings,
and demand reform in public expenses.

view's, in apparently impartial style,
the ccdition of public affairs in Ohio,
without, partisanship or the intermixing
of national matters, beyond a passing
allusion to the lato tinanciai panic.
The latter is regarded by the Governor
as largely due to the spirit of wild
■peculation on borrowed capital, so
prevalent in years past, a passion which
he thinks should be discouraged, and
so far a3 possible, prohibited.
In Congress, we are told, the reduc-
tion of the appropriations, including
the unusual measure of reducing the
estimates of the heads of departments,
is the prevailing idea. The lavish
expenditures during the last year have
created a deficiency, which the mem-
bers of Congress fear to supply by in-
creasing the taxes, and they ore, there-
fore, doubtless sincere in their profes-
sions of a desire to reduce the expenses
of the government.
We publish tbis morning, by tele-
graph, an abstract of Major Howell's
report on Galveston harbor. It com-
prises his plan for deepening the water

A. Harwood, of Ipswich, has been
experimenting on the popular theory
that where a fireplace is so situated
that the sun can shine upon it, the
solar rays will put the fare out. Mr.
Harwood used night lights, which he
carefully weighed and then burned—
one in the dark, another exposed to the
light. In every case the one in the dark
used in equal times from 20 to 30 per
cent, more tallow than the one in the
light.
to support; and what is still worse, we
have seen the President, in defiance of
the Constitution, the law, and the ex-
pressed wishes of the people, recogniz-
ing and upholding in his official capac-
ity the men thus fraudulently and tyr-
annically placed in power. It is alike
due to the people of Louisiana, and to
cause of free government, that you, as
the representatives of the great State
whose people love liberty and constitu-
tional government, enter your solemn
protest against the unparalleled out-
rages committed upon the sacred rights
of her people under the Constitution
of our common country.
municipal Taxes for Railroad Pur-
poses.
The Cincinnati Chamber of Com-
merce has been thoroughly consider-
ing a resolution requesting the Ohio
Constitutional Convention to provide
a plan by which cities of a certain class,
as to population, may be authorized by
special act of the Legislature, on a vote
at a stated regular election, of at least
two-thirds of the ballots cast, to sub-
scribe to the capital stock of, or pur-
chase the bonds of, or to contribute a
bonus in cash in installments, or in
city bonds, to such railroad company
or companies as may in such act be de-
signated.
After keeping this matter before it
for some ten days, the Chamber, at
the last meeting, laid the whole sub-
ject on the table.
It appears that the freight blockade
on the Central and other roads is not
over, as we had been informed. Com-
plaints reach us from Austin, Brenham,
Waco, Marlin, Dallas and Honey Grove
that cotton is received, receipted for,
and, then mysteriously disappears
for weeks before it makes its ap-
pearance in Galveston. This is a very
great inconvenience to shippers as well
as receivers, and it behooves the rail-
road managements to remedy the evil
as soon as possible. When through
bills of lading are signed, the freight
should be carried promptly to its des-
tination.
We hear, especially, of trouble about
freight on cotton from Honey Grove to
Galveston, paities claiming that in
several instances they have been over-
charged. We trust this is a mistake.
In Liverpool, the other day, a man
about forty-five years of age was ob-
served to snatch up several iron "coal
savers," which were exposed at the
shop-door of an ironmonger, whose
premises are next to those occupied by
Mr. Wood, a noted jeweler. He then
stepped in front of Mr. Wood's shop,
and, with a request to some persons
who were passing that they would
stand aside, he threw the "coal savers"
through the window. The crash thus
occasioned by the fall of these iron ar-
ticles amidst the glass shelves of a
jeweler's shop, attracted immediate
attention, and the man was at once
seized. In explanation of his conduct,
he said that he was starving; that he
had been refused admission to one of
the work-houses, and that, as he could
obtain no relief, he wished to get into
jail. He was then given into custody.

Austin, Jan. 10.
The train this morning again brought
a large number of members and visitors.
It is believed that more people will be
here by Tuesday than Austin lias ever
previously entertained, unless we except
the Tax Payers' Convention.
The belief is general that the Legisla-
ture will meet, but their action afterward
has not yet been determined upon. All
are evidently awaiting a consultation of
the majority, which has not reached
here as yet.
Newcomb is in San Antonio. His
purpose, it is said, is to consult General
Augur.
The Radicals will be governed by the
administration at Washington, which,
from private telegrams received to day,
proposes to remaiu silent, and advises the
Fourteenth Legislature to meet quietly
and peaceably, if possible.
Second Dispatch.
Austin, Jan. 10.
Another train full of members and
visitors arrived this evening. Among
the arrivals was Hon. B. H. Epperson.
The general outlook remains uuchanged.
The Fourteenth Legislature will meet,
without doubt, and the people of Texas
may rest assured that they will be pro-
tected in their rights. Still, there are
many rumors of compromises being of-
fered, one of which is that Davis will
recognise the Fourteenth Legislature if
they will concede liis right • to liis seat
until the twenty-eighth of April, with
some minor agreements t<*t>e decided on
in future.
Davis received a telegam from Wash-
ington to-day, saying : " Hecognise the
decision of the Supremo Court, and be
governed by the Constitution." Nothing
ia said of any aid in the shape of bayo-
nets. Several of bis friends, w'len "re-
turning from the capitcl after its reading,
looked decidedly blue, as Newcomb had
given but little, if any, encouragement
from San Antonio, regarding his inter-
view with GLn. Augur.
Ex-Gov. 'IJJkrocUmorton and Senator
Swift had a very pleasant interview, so
far as persoual courtesies were concerned,
with Gov Davis to-day. They gained
nothing definite from Davis as regards
his course of action, though everything
otherwise was pleasant. Our people may
feel sure that no compromise will be
agreed to that will in any way compro
mise their rights, though it may be ne-
cessary to concede points of minor impor-
tance. There is no trouble.
Capt. George Clark, of Waco, will have
his choice of the Attorney Generalship
or Sucretary of State. He is eminently
qualified for either.
Throckmorton and Baagan are most
strongly urged for the United States Sen-
ate, should Col. l'louruoy still, as now,
decline the nomination.
The slate for the Supreme Court, so
far, stands : J udge George T. Moore, of
Austin, Chief Justice, with Judge Dick
Walker, of Nacogdoches, Judge Gray, of
Harris, either Ireland or Devine of the
West, Bobertson and Roberts, of Tyler.
Col. Ballinger, of Galveston, and two
other prominent men are highly spoken
of for the latter position.

on during the day by numerous friends.

Major Howell's Report.
Will be Sent to Chief Engi-
neer's Office Monday.
And Transmitted to Congress
Next Week.
[Special to the News ]
Washington, Jan. 10.
Willie, as a member of the House Com-
merce Committee, examined to-day Major
Howell's report on the survey and pro-
posed improvement of Galveston Harbor
The survey shows a depth of water on
the outer bar of 12 feet; width of the
bar from a depth of 18 feet outside to 18
feet inside, 7040 feet; width of the inner
bar, measured in the same way, 5000
feet. On ilie outside was found fine sand,
extending to a depth of 13 feet, and from
If", to 37 feet there was found pulverized
shells ; at 32 feet, shells ; at 60 feet, clay,
mixed with fine sand, and at 64 feet,
shells; from the surface to a depth of 60
feet there is principally quicksand.
Major Howell's plan of improvement
is jetties and training walls. He esti-
mates that tho total expense of im-
proving the outter bar at $103,734 ; but
adds that it may be necessary to raise the
jettios above the crest of the bar, in which
case, the following additional expense
will be incurred: Building 18,499 gabions
$555,970 ; 116,629 cubic yards of filling
at fifty cents, $58,114 50. The total cost
of improving the outer bar, in the event
that additional work is found necessary,
which the engineer does not anticipate,
will be $1,Oil.818 50. The total esti-
mated cost to secure 18 feet of water on
the inner bar is $102,470, to which add
for jetties $20,662. Howell's sums up
the estimates complete at $531,866, if
jetttes . are raised above the crest of
the bar, and $114,495 30 if they are not.
Ho adds, ten :per cent, for contin-
gencies and recommends an appropria-
tion for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1875, of $500,000.
The report treats at great length of
theories of improvement, and doo3 not
agree witli that of McAlpine, in regard
to the existence of lateral currents. The
engineer believes it must depend en-
tirely on the scouring process. He ad-
mits that th? improvement by his plan
will be in some degree an experiment,
but adduces many arguments to prove
that it must be successful, and says that
if so, he will make improvements in all the
other harbors of the Gulf of Mexico easy.
The report also ably sets forth the com-
mercial importance of Galveston, not
only as a port for Texas, but for the en
tire Southwest, and introduces many sta-
tistics to prove this assertion. The report
will be sent to the Chief Engineer's of-
fice and to the Secretary of War, Mon
day, and will be transmitted to Congress
next week. Willie will secure the early
attention of the Commerce Committee.

STATE LEGISLATURES.
New York.
Gov. Dix, in his message to the New
York Legislature, recommends that a
law be passed defining the powers of
savings banks and repealing all special
privileges, and a further recommenda-
tion is made that no director or officer
of savings banks shall be officer or di-
rector of any bank of discount in
which its moneys are deposited, and
that banks be restrained from certify-
ing checks, except for actual deposits.
Ho goes at length into the subject of
the railroads and canals of thd State,
and thinks there have beefr grave
abuses in the management of Wie for-
mer. '
Ohio. |
In the Ohio Legislature, on She sixth
instant, the resolutions offere|l by Mr.
McLean, Republican, yesterday to cen-
sure Congress for passing th|, salary-
grab act. were reported back, so as to
include President Grant for not vetoing
the bill. The Republicans sought to
get a. division of the question so as to
vote first on censuriug Congress, and
on their failure to do this voted solidly
agaiust all the resolutions.; It was
adopted by a unanimous Democratic
vote. i
In the House, bills were introduced
to amend the Adair Liquor Law so as
to require written notice to be served
upon liquor sellers before they can be
held responsible under the law.
Illinois.
In the Illinois Legislature, on the
first day of the session, last Tuesday,
Senator Casey introduced Senate bill
407, providing for the extension of the
time allowed for the collection of
taxes of 1873, as well us the delinquent
taxes of the books of the same year.
Referred.
Mr. Ray obtained leave and intro-
duced a bill for an act to repeal the
railroad aid, or "grab law," of 1809.
Missouri.
The Governor of Missouri, in his
message, delivered on Tuesday, says
the expenditures of the State govern
ment are double what they should be,
and that it could be administered as
well, or better, at half the present
cost. He suggests various plans for
retrenchment in the different depart-
ments of the government, and gives
sinecure offices, office-hunters and pro-
fessional jurors the cold shoulder. He
says some railroads have declared that
the Legislature has no right'to fix their
freight tariffs. A Board of Railroad
Commissioners should be appointed to
test that question. The Governor deals
elaborately with that subject, and con-
cludes by suggesting the propriety of
instructing Senators and requesting
Representatives in Congress to vote
for and urge the passage of a law for
the accomplishment of the end sug-
gested.
The Indian Territory receives a
lengthy notice. Arguments are made
in favor of having a territorial gov-
ernment established over it by Con-
gress. Its many desirable advantages
in climate, minerals and agricultural
lands lying in close proximity to Mis-
souri are portrayed, and prompt action
is urged on the part of our Senators
and Representatives in Congress, to
support a bill for the purpose of or-
ganizing a territorial government over
it, the right to do which, he contends,
is fullv invested in Congress.
republicans attack san julian.
Madrid, Jan. 10.—A column of the
Republican force besieging Cartagena,
made an attack on Fort San Julian yes-
terday, but was repulsed with considera-
ble loss, and returned to camp. A heavy
fire is now kept up on both sides.

reports specifically brought to the cap-
ital by Bishop "VVilmer, of Louisiana,
show that in certain localities of the
South the people are destitute and in a
state of starvation, owing to the fail-
ure of crops; and it directs the Secre-
rary of War to issue rations, in such
quantities as may be required, to alle-
viate the immediate sufferings of the
inhabitants of the destitute communi-
ties.
Wilford, of Vermont, moved its
reference to the Committee on Educa-
tion and Labor.
A resolution to distribute army ra-
tions among the poor of the South
was offered and referred.

Progreu ol Hempstead.
Hempstead, from all accounts, is
growing rapidly. New houses are go-
ing up iu every part of the town, and
accessions of new and substantial citi-
zens occurring daily. A real estate
and banking association, on the plan
that has proved so successful in Gal-
veston and Houston, has been in oper-
ation a year, accumulating property
worth ten thousand dollars, and not a
cent in debt. The following, all good
men, are the directors for 1874: R. H.
Boxley, President; E. P. Alsbury,
Vice-President: R. Spence, Secretary;
Wm. P. Cole, Treasurer; Wm. Ahreu-
beck, Dr. P. S. Clarke, L. S. Daniel,

The policy of allowing Cabinet
Ministers seats in the House of Repre-
sentatives has been discusscd freely of
late, and many advantages might be
derived from the proposed change.
The Springfield Republican, a leading
Republican sheet, thinks the practice
would be attended with painful results
in special cases. It remarks:
We think the bare suggestion of
calling Mr. Richardson into the House
somewhat painful. No Finance Minis-
ter would ever dare to rise in the
House and utter such a mass of mere
suggestions as the last report of the
Secretary of the Treasury, and pretend
that he had obeyed the law constitu-
ting his department, which requires him
to " digest and prepare plans." Mr.
Ricbardsan's ideas are entirely undi-
gested and unprepared, and he lays
claim to no plan. What can we say
of a Finance Minister, who, within one
short month, recommends no new
taxes, then an increase of 142,000,000,
and then concludes that he can get
along ?
The two men, McEwen and Smith,
who got adrift in a field of ice in Saigi-
naw Bay, December 31st, and for whose
safety the greatest fears were enter-
tained, it is reported, got ashore Janu-
ary 6th, both in an exceedingly ex-
hausted condition. The men who
started in search of them in a sail boat
Sunday morning have not been heard
from.

"A Tennessean " wants to know
why the Republican s carried the late
election in Memphis so easily, and
why we have said nothing about it.
We suppose that, as in most municipal
elections, local questions had great
weight. All we see in the papers ou the
subject shows that the Democrats let
the election go by default, nearly half
the whites neglecting to vote, even
after they were registered. The total
vote cast was 7,101, while the registra-
tion was 10,074. me preponderance or
votes was cast by negroes. An ex-
change exprese3 the belief that if the
Democrats had made strictly a party
nomination and a party fight, their
ticket would have been elected. Just
before the election, Col. Duncan K.
McRae, of Memphis, who has been a
prominent Democrat all his life, and
who occupied a seat in the Confederate
Congress, from North Carolina, during
the war, made a speech, ia which he
stated that he should support the Re-
publican candidate for Mayor, Mr.
Loague, against the Democratic candi-
date, Mr. Busby. He deprecated the
continuance of old party quarrels, and
advocated harmony and conciliation
among all parties. He said :
When thirty odd other ex-Confed-
erate soldiers can take their seats in
Congress; when the President recog-
nizes universal amnesty; when Horace
Maynard offers a bill to give place and
power once more within reacli of the
hands of Jefferson Davis; and when a
universal deluge of favors bears down
upon our stricken city from every ham-
let, town and city, from old and young,
matron and maid, youth and manhood,
all contributing in heartfelt sympathy,
then we are all of one feeling, one
land, one blood, one county, one in
all.
The officers of the United States
Court for the Western District of Ar-
kansas have had a profitable season, if
they can only husband their gains. A
whole army of deputy marshals have
been engaged in making constructive
arrests and receiving fees for the same,
while jurors published a statement that
after receiving certificates of service,
they were informed that there was no
money on hand to pay them; they
signed the pay-roll, and the certificates
were indorsed by the Marshal that a
certain amount was due. Many of
these jurors live in difatant parts of the
district, and were indebted for board
while attending court, and needed
money to pay it and for traveling ex-
penses to their homes. In order to
raise the necessary means for the above
purposes, they had to sell their vouch-
ers at heavy discounts—thirty per cent,
and upward. It la nuw alleged that
the Marshal and his friends used the
money sent to pay the jurors in full
for the purpose of discounting their
certificates. The matter is to be
brought to the attention of Congress.
Senator Flanagan on the Salary
Grab.
In the United States Senate, on Mon-
day, Senator Flanagan spoke on the
bill to repeal the act of March 3, 1873,
increasing salariss. He thought $7500
not an excessive salary, and had re-
marked when the bill passed that it
should have been $10,000. Since then
he had not changed his opinion. He
had drawn the money. [Producing
greenbacks from his pocket.] Here
they are. Sir, this is my pay. I am
going to fight for it till the last.
[Laughter.] I have not stolen that
pay. I have done nothing that preys
upon my conscience. I have endeav-
ored to earn it. [Renewed laughter.]
After the adjournment of the Senate
he returned to Texas, and was received
by the Legislature of that State, and
not having been condemned by that
body, he felt easy. It was not so
much the salary bill the people object-
ed to, as the Credit Mobilier bill ; but
he did Hot think that such an odious
measure. He thought Oakes Ames
one of the best men he ever knew, and
believed it was the demagogues of the
country who preferred this indictment.
The British steamship International,
Captain Hayward, which arrived no
the first instant, from London, brings
614 miles of torpedo cable, weighing
750 tons, and some twenty or thirty
torpedoes, ordered by the government,
and designed for harbor and coast de-
fense. It also brings a number of elec-
tric batteries, to connect with the tor-
pedoes from the shore.
