HhiiiI ton on
Storm.
tlie Late
" Id politics," says the Chicago Timet,
" the coming event whose forecast shadow
is now plainly discernible, is the brok-
ing up and rearrangement of party for-
mations upon the transcendent finance
question." The Times assumes that the
greenback policy represented by Gover-
nor William Allen has captured the
mass of Democrats in the West and in
Pennsylvania, and that it will triumph
at the approaching Ohio election and
force itself upon the n<>xt National De-
mocratic Convention. The Times also In-
fers from significant expressions of the
Brooklv Eagle and the New York World,
reputed organs of Gov. Tilden, that the
" hard money " Democrats of the East
are resolved to maintain their ground
against the currency doctrines avowed
in the Ohio and Pennsylvania plat-
forms, even if it should be ne-
cessary to divide the Demo-
cratic party, or create a new and
distinct party, on the currency issue.
" It is needless to declare," says the
Times in conclusion, " what all observers
of current political phenomena see and
recognize, namely, that the public mind
is actually agitated upon and has a real-
izing sense of only a single issue, that
of honest money and dishonest and bro-
ken rag promises—which one issue is all
sufficient for the occasion and constitutes
the real battle-field of the impending
contest. The matter of interest here is
that the overshadowing strength an! im-
portance of this single issue is stich as
to plainly foreshadow a breaking up of
existing party combinations, or imagined
combinations, and a formation of new
party combinations around this one tran-
scendent question of the time. Should
the repudiationist democracy prevail in
Ohio, of which there is every appear-
ance of probability, the break-up fore-
shadowed will be inevitable. And thus
it may happen that the triumph of the
repudiation party in Ohio will be a po-
litical blessing to the nation." We re-
gard it as of little material consequence
whether existing party combinations re-
main as they are or break tip and givu
place to new formations. What supremely
concerns the country with respect to
parties contending for power, is to know
which offers the best assurances of good
government. It is impossible to find
such assurances in a party which is not
prepared to express itself in government
through capable, wise, patriotic and trust-
worthy leaders. The present controversy
between those who clamor for the fiction
of specie payment, and those who protest
against the regulation of a paper cur-
rency based on public credit in the in-
terest of a few to the hardship of the
many, has not yet touched the vital ques-
tion of honesty and statesmanship in the
&ctual administration of public affairs.
It is childish gabble to charge
the Ohia and Pennsylvania Demo-
crats with " rascally proceedings"
on the subject of currency, as the
New York Tribune does, and to say, as
the Chicago Times does, that such men
as Governor Allen and George II. Pendle-
ton, of Ohio, Governor Hendricks, of
Indiana, and ex Governor Curtin, of
Pennsylvania, represent " dishonest and
broken rag promises," againBt " honest
money," in the single and transcendent
issue of the impending contest. None
of these men are responsible for a soli
tary dollar of the currency described as
" rag promises." The national govern-
ment is in the hands of their political ad
Versarirs—men who have administered
the national finances in partnership with
Jay Cooke & Co., Henry Clews & Co.,
aDd quite a rabble of gold gamblers and
stock speculators. These authors of
" rag promises" now insist with charm
ing vehemence on converting the rags
into " honest money," and in chorus with
the Chicago Times, the New York World
the New Vuik Tribune, August Belmont,
and other " hard money" Democrats of
the East, denounce as guilty of most
villainous designs regarding the cur
rency, Allen, Pendleton and others, who
are known by all who know them to be
inspired by an honest solicitude for the
public welfare. Here we have essential
stupidity as well as hypocrisy
Of money itself, of whatever form
neilher honesty nor dishonesty can be
predicated. It has no moral quality
good or bad. Strictly as a currency, it is
incapable of an excessive inlktion, for
Kicardo, in his Political Economy, says
•' a circulation can never be so abundant
as to overflow." The question of honesty
therefore, in connection with a national
currency, must turn exclusively upon the
character and intentions of those intrust-
ed with its creation and management
Thus the currency question resolves itself
into a far more fundamental question
that of capacity, integrity, justice and
zeal for the public welfare in the conduct
of government. This will be the para
mount issue at last, whether present par
ties break up or keep themselves intact.
Keller lor midway.
Information reaches us of several fam
ilies in the vicinity of Midway who re
quire relief. No section visited by the
storm suffered more severely than that
about the head of the bay, and we re'
spectfully suggest to members of the re
lief committee that inquiries be made
>L(1 assistance rendered without delay.
Dr. Lemuel Moss, late President of the
< hicago Cniversity, has been elected
President of the Indiana University,
The New York papers appear to have
been persistent in their endeavoro to as-
certain something about the situation of
Galveston and the probable damige in-
flicted by the storm. Hotels were
searched for Texans, and every one who
hsd ever been known to pass a night on
Gaiveston Island was immediately inter-
viewed ; among the numbar was Senator
Morgan C. Hamilton.
The amiable gentleman told the inter*
viewer that he had not been in Galves-
ton for some years, but knew the situa-
tion perfectly. The city was, he said,
*' built on an island across the mouth of
Galveston Bay ; has a population of
over thirty thousand ; the island is thirty
miles long, extending back into the bay >
but the city occupies the side most exposed
to the waters of tht bay, -which are there
about one wile in width. The buildings
are large and most of them made of
brick, while those nearest the water are
of wood aDd are used as dwelling
house*." This is about as near correct
as the French academician's description
of the crab was. Galveston island is
not across the mouth of the bay ; the
bay is not about a mile wide in front of
the city ; most of the houses on the bay
are not of wood, and are not used as
dwelling houses !
Senator Hamilton said he had expected
this ilood. " Indeed," he added, "every
one expects it periodically. It is almost,
if not entirely, impossible to furnish the
city with any protection against the
water on such occasions. The island
rests upon a bed of quicksand, and a
dyke or levee would sink. The city is
abundantly able to construct an embank-
meut, if the island will support it. It
has suffered very little from corruption
jn office, and is increasing rapidly in
wealth and population. In three months
from this time it will not feel the blow.
It is nothing compared with what a yel-
low fever calamity would brine. The
city's recuperative powers are very
great."
How the Senator reconciles his first as-
sertion that " the buildings are large and
most of them of brick," with tha declara-
tion that the isiand would not support an
embankment, we leave him to determine.
It ougjt to be a problem easily Bolved,
whether a large brick building, sixty or
seventy feet high, or an embankment,
made of material not heavier than brick,
six or seven feet high, would be most
likely to test the stability of the founda-
tion upon which it rests. We advise
the Senator to figure out the problem
and report the answer to the Tribune.
Hon. M. C. Kerr, of Indiana, is
spoken of by the Western Democrats in
connection with the speakership of the
next House of Representatives. He is
an experienced legislator and sagacious
politician, has an excellent record, and
would make an acceptable speaker.
Two car loads of choicest California
pears leave San Francisco for the East
every day. One firm has made arrange-
ments to ship eight hundred tons of
pears during the season, the freights on
which amount to $50 000. The same
firm forwards large quantities of the
finer quality of grapes.
New York has come to a Btand-stiilin
the work of erecting sea walls. The
Commissioners of Docks, Messrs. Wales,
Dimock and Westervelt, have sent a let-
ter to Mayor Wickham, with the report
of Chief Engineer Greene, in which he
gave the results of an examination of the
sea-wall, now nearly completed, at Canal
and King streets, North River. In July,
1873, General Charles K. Graham was
appointed engineer-in-chief of the depart-
ment in place of General McClellan, who
had resigned. In Ociober, 1864, with a
view to more economy in the construction
of the sea-wall, the engineer-in-chief re-
commended to the board, as a substitute
for beton blocks, that concrete en masse
should be formed upon a foundation of
piles in a wet caisson, and then left to
harden into a solid mass. From the ex-
aminations made by the present engineer
it is reported that the concrete does not
when submerged, harden as it does when
exposed to the action of the atmosphere
The work has been suspended until the
question shall have been settled.

No one of the elements that go to make up
the prosperity of a city is more indicative
of its substantial growih than its building
improvements. And it is not so much the
number of building that are erected as the
style and costliness of the same, for many
towns have spruug up in a month an i
gone dowu as rapidly, and in this case tho
invariable rule has been that there was a
want of confidence in their future prospects.
Tha number of buildings that have been
erected in Galveston during the twelve
months past is remarkable, enough so to
justify one in styling this the " building era."
After a thorough canvass of the city, it has
been found that 250 houses of all kinds have
been built since ootober 1.1874, and with th^
exi*»ptwti o* a r!a#a of small, cheaply built
tenements, the character of the buildings
and the expense incurred in putting them up
will compare favorably with any other city
in the United States, and show besides our
continued and substantial growth. The
amount of money expended iu building dur-
ing tho period under consideration will
reach Si,190,000, while an additional amount
of $25.(>0 has been laid out in repairing, en-
larging and remodelling.
In this statement the cost of buildings
erected is independent of the value of the
lot or lots built on and interior furnishing.
It is the contract price of the builder, if put
up by agreement, and, if not, the outlay for la-
bor aud material up to the time the carpen-
ters had driven the last nail, it is gratifying
to note thar, there is a greater tendency to
paint dwellings with colore, and there is a dis-
position, as is ^hown by a dozen or more new
and handsome residences erecte-4 by mer-
chant princes, to combine atl the modern con
venience with architectural display of a
fresher order. The ar.icle includes buildings
completed or in course of erection, witnout
reference to when they were commenced, dur-
ing the twelve months en lmg < October 1, 1875.

The above list foots up one hundr-d and
twenty-six buildings at a total cost of $1,125,-
300. The remaining one huudred and twenty-
four to make up the number of houses of all
kinds that have been erected during the past
twelve months are mainly small cottages,
some of them mere cabins, yet they are in
habited and form a portion of the taxable
property of the city. Owing to the fact that
many of these small cottages aud tenemen s
were put up oy the day or by journeymen car-
penters, no clue could be obtained to the
owneis. and as the cost in the majority of
cases could only be approximated, the plan
was adopted of making a general summary of
their value, which may be safely set down at
$60 000. A vast amount of renovating and
repairing, and adding of wings to old build
i^gs, has been done—not including the work
of replacing the loss by the storm—and a
careful summing up of the amounts expended
in these channels produces a total of not less
thau $25,000. Thus it will be seen that Gal-
veston has expended on her building im-
provements alone during the twelve months
just past ancut $1,211,000.
FROM THE CAPITAL.

[Special to the Galveston News ]
Austin, Texas, October 2, 1875.

son, of Franklin, were granted leave of ab-
sence.

copies ordered px inted
By Russell, of Wood, from the Committee
on Immigration, made a report, which de-
clared that the people ought not to be taxed
for the maintenance of an Immigration Bu-
reau, and that a clause ought to be inserted

unfinished business.
The report of the Legisla+ive committee
being unfinished business was taken up.
Many propositions were made to amend the
article upon the mode of calling conventions
aud amenrtiDg the constitution, all of which
were disposed of. section one of the article
was stricken out, and section two changed
by the adoption of a substitute offered by
Judge Balliuger, which provides that an
amendment be proposed to the people by the
Legislature and voted upon by the people, a
majority being necessary to adopt, and dis-
pensing with the subsequent legislative rati-
Ication.
This was adopted by a close vote.
The rest of the morning was consumed in
the discussion of this article, which, as it now
stands, provides no way of calling a conven-
tion by regular process
The majority approved the suggestions of
Messrs. Reagan and Pickett that the power
to call a convention by the Legislature was
to hamper the people in this right, and that
the proper mode was by spontaneous aciion
ot the people themselves
Mr. Dohor.ey proposed to give the Legisla-
ture authority to submit the question of call-
ing a conven ion to the vote of the people,
and Mr. DeMorse offered a substitute of simi-
lar import, both of which were defea ed.
Mr Dohoney introduced a resolution to
givoN. Q. Henderson twenty-five dollars for
assisting the secretary. This was defeated
by an amendment offered by Marion Martin,
providing that the amount be paid out of the
salaries of those assisted.
The convention adjourned till Monday.
It is now thought the convention will be in
session until the midd e of November.
My Vanished Past.
I will write on the tomb of my banished past
This is the " nevermore; "
Here lies the sunshine too bright to last,
This was the golden shore.
This was the land of the poet's song,
This was the artis»'s dream;
Here were the flowers love dwelt among,
Here was life's fairest gleam;
This was a heaven come down below.
And in it was left Uod's smile;
Yet now must the green grass over it grow,
It lived such a little wnile—
Such a little while, like an island bright,
That has risen far out at sea.
Which on some morrow we find the night
Has changed to a memory.
A memory mine, one that sadly thrills;
And ofttimes i wearily pray
That it may again, if it be God's will,
Come back to my life some day.
But it can not come. Oh, my dead, dead past
You are silent forever and still;
But the sunset glories that fade so fast
Shall arise o'er the top of the hill.
And I'll touch the stone with a gentle hand,
And train o'er it flowers fair,
For I think, when I wake in that other land.
Perhaps you will meet me there.

Eds. News—S&d. to relate, the late storm
blew down all the corn iu this county, and
blew about one-half of the cotton out of the
bolls on the ground, twisted, threshed, broke
oown and beat the stalks about in su^h a man-
ner as to impress an ignorant observer with
the belief thar. large herds of mad bulls had
been fighting in every cotton patch.
Most of the cotton on the ground could
have been picked up. and sold at low prices,
but alas! on the night of the 25tn it poured
down rain all night in torrents, and beat all
of the cotton threshed out by the storm of
the 16th a- d 17th into the ground. By loss of
co tor, and damage to the staple, I can safely
say that this section will fall short rully one
half of the amount that would have been real-
ized had we succeeded in gat hering our cot-
ton without anv storms. T. J.

The Famous Trotting Mare Amer-
ican Girl Died on tlie Track To-
Day.
Elmira, Oct. 2.—The famous trotting mare
American Girl died this evening, in the first
heat in the free for all ages race on Elmira
Liriving Park.She appeared at the start to be
in the very besf condition. The horses scored
a number of tim?s before they got to work.
The Girl at the first turn was nicely ahead.
At this point her driver noticed that she
seemed to be giving out, and he let her head
loose. r>hc kept staggering for an eighth of a
mile, and at the quarter pole fell and died
instantly without a struggle. She fell very
easily, with her shoulder againot the fence.
The incident excited a great deal of sympa-
thy as tho mare was a great favorite here,
and had been the chief attraction for the races
to-day. The band ptayed a funeral dirge as
soon as her death was known. She wa* owued
by Wm. Lovett, of Norfolk, and was valued at
$2%0«H), which h sum had been offered for her
last week. She was 13 years old. The El-
mira Priving Park Association propose that
should the body be left here to erect a $1000
monument to the memory of American Girl.
There was no insurance on her. Jem Mace
offered $20,000 for her this morning.
