The Government has not yet furnished a place

It seems that the late terrible disaster by the
falling in of a bridge on a Mexican railway, oc-
curred on the Morella and Cuantla road, which had
just been completed and opened with great cere-
mony on the 18th, just six days before the accident.
Ohio's assessed taxable estimate is $1,163,221,437.
Ten years ago she assessed $1,146,106,968. So she
has added $19,114,469 to her permanent estate in
ten years. It was supposed the Ohio-man business
was panning out better than that, but all's not gold

The announcement is now made, for the first
time with authoritative distinctness, that the pres-
ent Czar intends to turn his back upon whatever of
the humane there was in his father's plan of gov-

has before him quite a heavy task.

During the fiscal year ending June 30, there will
have been used 320,000,000 postal card$. During
the past four years 1,000,000,000 have been consum-
ed. It is expected that 500,000,000 will be used
during the coming year, but if the Carmichael case
is to be repeated, it is probable there will be a de-
cided falling off from this estimate.
A dispatch comes from San Francisco to the effect
that the Mexican Congress is discussing the passage
of a law to impose a duty of 50 cents for every 2C0
pounds of lumber and machinery imported. If it
passes mining will be crippled. No low-grade ores
can be worked if an additional $10 per ton is to be
paid on mining machinery for duties.
The Inter Ocean now warms up to Hon. Emory
Speer, the young " Independent Democratic Con-
gressman." who has announced his intention to
co-operate with the Republicans in the organization
of the House, and speaks of his course in the last
Congress as "independent and manly." Bob
Toombs or Jeff Davis could get the same kind of
taffy for the same kind of treachery.

It is reported that the Henderson and Overton
Railroad (part and parcel of the International and
Great Northern), isaboui to be extended southeast-
erly to the long-leaf pine regions. The report is
not improbable as the great southwestern railroad
combination will require free access to an unlimit-
ed timber supply, and Southeastern Texas is the
only portion of the State that can fill the bill.
Latest details from Mexico show the recent
railroad disaster to have been a most horrible
affair, by which the lives of more than two hun-
dred soldiers were destroyed, while fifty others
were more or less injured. The intimation that the
disaster will be used as au argument against rail-
road building will or will not be significant, just
iu the degree to which education has taken hold
of the people.
And now another silly story is started up con-
cerning Morgan. The New York Times says the
town of Batavia was filled with excitement on the
22d, over the discovery of what are believed to be
the remains of Wm. Morgan, the man who betrayed
the secrets of the Freemasons, in his book enti-
tled, " Morgan's Illustrations of Masonry," fifty-five
years ago, and was abducted, it was charged, and
made away with before the work was given to the
public. ^

Houston, June 27.—In Justice Brash ear's Court
ier '»ito-day the following business was transacted: W.
C. Andire vs. John T. Dickinson, judgment for
most convenient ascent to the fcvble lands and to Fplaintiff for $G2 50; Albert Raseh vs. Houston and
moros and Bar of Jesus "Maria. Prow Sant

the City of Mexico. Thence it may continue to the
Pacific coast. At the end of ninety nine-year&fhe .plaintiff for $25; Eugene Kobbler vs. International

granting the concession was passed May 23, but it
was only on June 7 that President Gonzales author-
ized the publication of the necessary decree.
while Georgia boasts of her big cotton crop and
booms every industry within her border, the fol-
lowing account of western produce received in the
single county of Hancock tells the sad story of'
starvation from too much cotton :
At Mayfleld, from the 1st of January to the. 1st of
June. 1881—five months—there had been received,
959,735 pounds of western corn, and 120,110 pounSi-
of western bacon. At Carr's station, from January
to June 18. 1881, there had been received 457,379'
pounds of western corn, 63,127 pounds
of western bacon, • and 8.760 pounds of
meal. At Sparta, from January 1 to June 15,
there had been received 1,383,394 pounds of western,
corn, 276,902 pounds of western bacon, and 121,431-
pounds of western hay. y
These supplies were received in this county in;
less than five months, and what is the history <sty
Hancock county is tte history of about one-half
the counties in Georgia—nearly
counties in fact, and proves that the
too much ot the stimulant and effervescing method?-
in her plantation affairs. The State that pays
more than its surplus for byead is not prospering,
however much she booms and dallies with the.,
glitter of speculation.

Its income has been increasing since tiie day it was

The Erlauger syndicate is reaching down for
New Orleans, as well as out for the Texas and
Pacific. One of its grand designs is an air line from
Meridian to New Orleans, of which a New Orleans
paper says:
That road will open to us a country which is ours
by geographical right, but which lias been rendered
inaccessible through the hostile policy of the
Georgia railway combination. It will open up to
us an immense and valuable trade. It will add
another and potent tributary to the vast stream of
traffic which is now turning in this direction, and
which, when its accumulated volume shall have
been regulated, will make New Orleans the greatest
SL-.v)ort on this continent.
Colonel Ton IIaudeman, who was in Galveston
some weeks ago in the interest of the Atlanta Inter-
national Cotton Exposition, has made his Southern
tour and returned. The first question asked him
by an Atlanta interviewer was: " Will there be a
bis crowd at the exposition ?" The Colonel is a
modest man and likes to keep within bounds. He
answered, slowly:
I tan not a sanguine man, and never was: but
tell you, the only question that Atlanta has to con

The Atlanta Constitution boasts of the above
showing, giving Georgia the second place in the
cotton statistics, but it takes care not to crow over
the production per acre. Mississippi's 965,803 bales
were produced on a smaller acreage than either
Georgia's or Texas's crop. She raised a bale to
2 18-100 acres, Texas a bale to 2 70-100 acres, attd
Georgia a bale to 2 21-100 acres. This i* a pretty
good exhibit for these great States, but the Consti-
tution should have waited till Texas gets fairly
under way; give h er time and she'll produce more
than ail the States east of her combined.
The News some months ago printed a report'
from a well-informed source which indicated tliat
Mr. R. S. Hayes, of the International and Great
Northern Railroad, was the coming man for chief
of the Gould Southwestern system. The report
alluded to has been verified. An official circular
has been issued by Mr. Gould, which reads as fol-
lows: ' J*
New York, June 20, 1881.—At directors' meetings
on the lath, 17th and 20th inst., Mr. R, S. Hayes
was duly elected the Senior Vice President of the
following companies, with the charge of the man-
agement and operation of their respective prejier-
ties :
Tiie Missouri Pacific Railway and leased lines.
The St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Rail-
way Company.
Tiie Texas and Pacific Railway Company.
All officers and employes will obey his instrrilc-
tions, and all reports will be made to him iu St.
Louis. Jay Gould, President.
The Missouri Republican of the 4th instant, frOTn
which the above circular is copied, states that Mr-
Hayes will retain his former position as President
of the International and Great Northern Railroad,
and as such, and First Vice-President of the lines
named in the above circular, wiil have the super-
vision of the Gould system in the Southwest. The
former vice-presidents of these lines remain in
their respective positions, but as juniors to

will take place in any of the lines mentioned
their direct operation continuing in charge of their
present general managers—Mr. A. A. Talmage, of
the Missouri Pacific; Mr, A. W. Soper, of the Iron
Mountain, and Mr. H. M. Hoxie, of the Texas and
Pacific and International and Great Northern roads.
The office of Mr. Hayes has been established in St.
Louis, where h<? has already entered upon the dis-
charge of his duties. The Republican says:
This appointment, whilst very generally con-
sidered an excellent one, will be somewhat of a
surprise from the fact that a number of other
prominent railroad officials have been mentioned
n this connection. Mr. Hayes is regarded by those
who have been irf* a position to judge as a most
capable man, to which can De added
an energetic and enterprising spirit.
He is also an affable and popular gentleman,
with a wide-spread acquaintance, and it fs
the general opinion that Mr. Gould would have had
difficulty in finding a better qualified man in every
way to fill such an important position.

The conrert and festival for the benefit of the

This evening's Acre contains the following: An
impromptu meeting of several gentlemen con-
nected with the passenger departments of
several of the leading railroads was recently
held for the purpose of exchanging
views on the situation, and recommending to their
respective cliiefs a line of policy which, in their
opinion, should be adopted for the benefit of I li.
paving traveling public and the roads which were
represented. We do not feel at liberty to give the
names of tlio-e present, but the following preamble
and resolution, which were unanimously adopted,
will explain their views in full:
Whereas, during the heated term, applications
for free passes are daily pouring in upon every
officer of our roads who is suspected of being
vested with authority to grant the same, princi-
pally from those who are best able to pay fare;
and
Whereas, directors of institutions have recently
resolved to ask the roads to give their paid officials
free rides during vacation; therefore be it
Resolved, that all applications of this
kind be refused, and that we rec-
ommend that replies be given requesting them
to pay fare or walk, at their option.
Be it further resolved, that in recommending this
we are actuated by a desire to see the roads we
represent make money enough during the dull sea-
son to pay our monthly dues promptly and meet
the regular demands made on them for the payment
of necessary supplies,and have a small surplus left to
pay the interest in moneys invested by the owners,
who have been deluded into the foolish supposition
that the property belonged to them after purchase
was consummated. Be it further resolved, that
we recommend the printing of this preamble and
resolution on postal cards, and that the same be
used iu giving replies to all applications as a mat
tt r of economy,thereby saving at least clerk's hire,
paper and two cents on each reply, it being con
sicfered certain that applicants wiil neglect encios
ing stamp for return.

breach of trust and embezzlement, and in default
of bail, he was sect to the Parish PJisou. Tempest

rights and franchises of the Carrollton Railroad
for sale at once. The railroad corporation claims
that its charter will not expire till 190& The City
Attorney insists it has already expired, hence the
action of the Council. The matter will probably
be litigated. The franchise is a very valuable one,
and will bring the city a good round sum of money
if the courts decide that tho corporation counsel's
view is proper.
In two years New Orleans has realized over one

Jail Delivery—Six: Prisoners Escape—
The Third iircak-out in a ITIonth.
[Special Telegram to The News.l
Tyler, June 27.—Before daylight yesterday
morning Dr. Ball and five other prisoners confined
in our new jail escaped. None are recaptured, and
there are no prospects of a recapture. It seems
the doctor is an expert at jail opening, and in some
way opened liis cage-door and then the cage-doors
of the other prisoners, enabling all to jet into the
corridor. When in the corridor they are against
the brick walls of the jail. From the appearance
of the thinness of the wall and the hole
they made in it, perhaps it did not re-
quire an hour to go through it. This is the
third escape from our new jail within a month.
Seven prisoners bid us farewell at first, three left
us next, and yesterday morning six quit the
monotonous shades of confinement. The News
published the escape and recapture of Dr. Ball a
few days ago. The doctor left word that it might
publish his .scape again. Within thirty days six-
teen prisoners nave e-caped from the Tyler jail,
among them murderers, horsethieves, r.nd bad
criminals. Faci-ti us persons suggest 10 build
twelve-rail or three-wire barbed feuce around the
jail to keep the prisoners in. There were no guards
around, and the jailer was asleep, so none knew of
the escape until they 8».«- the arti.tic hole in tho
wall next morning, and found the ingenious doctor
and his fellow-criminals gone.

[Special Telegram to The News.l
Jefferson, June 27.—Last Saturday evening Dr.
II. J. Avinger, who lives at Avinger station oil the
East Line, hud some words with one of his negro
tenants, Hicks Ross, about the latter failing to cul-
tivate his corn in a particular manner. He replied
that he was tired of being interfered with, as he
was a man himself. The negro had a razor in one
hand and his child in his arms, when the doctor
knocked him down and began to stamp him. With
one thrust with the razor tiie doctor was
disemboweled, the wound extending across
his abdomen eight inches. After he discov-
ered his condition lie called to a bystander
to inform his family, saying, " I am done." He re-
mained where he fell seven hours before medical
attention could be procured. He will probably die,
as his intestines were badly swollen, and one of
t.aern cut a half inch when the wound was dressed.
Hicks Ross made his escape, but was captured
near Hughes Springs this eveniug. Dr. Avinger is
a prominent man in Cass county, au.! will be re-
membered as the senator from this district in the
