THE CITY.
The Coasters.
West levee slip did not contain a single coaster
yesterday, nor were but two to be seen in the
stream.
.Deep-Water Committee.
It is understood that Mayor Leonard will call an-
other meeting of the deep-water committee either
for this evening or the early part of next week.
Bar Meeting.
There will be a meeting of the Bar Association
held, upon call of Gen. Waul, at the District Court
room at 12 o'clock to-day. A full attendance is de-
sired.
Cotton.
The sloop Flava Ella, from Double bayou, with
six bales of cotton, and the sloop Sam, from San
Jacinto, with one bale of cotton, were the only re-
ceipts of the staple along the docks yesterday.
Officers Installed.
The Washington Social and Benevolent Associa-
tion installed the following officers last night:
A. Homelin, president; D. Sanderson, vice presi-
dent; H. V. Lang, secretary; George Koliler, Jr.,
treasurer; J. H. Jaeger, stage manager; V. J.
Birron, hall keeper.
Wanted in Houston.
Chief Atkins yesterday received a dispatch from
the deputy marshal of Houston, inquiring about the
two negro boys named Win. Wilson and Alex.
J ones, arrested here several days ago for vagrancy.
They are wanted in Houston on a charge of bur-
glarizing A. J. PannelTs grocery establishment.
Immigrants,
Mr. E. E. Kauffman, of the Santa Fe, upon leaving
>ew Orleans a few days ago, brought with him sev-
eral of the immigrant passengers of the steamship
xMuremberg. The bulk of the number that were
on Doard were ieft at quarantine station, owing to
the fact that small-pox had broken out among
them.
The Small Boatx.
Where Thursday there was a marked absence of
u fleet along the levees, yesterday
the old-time liveliness and activity were prevalent.
All the slips were well crowded by the small sail
vessels, most of which were laden with wood and
produce, and- yet the former commodity rules at a
fancy price.
Tlie Coming; Opera.
Manager Spencer was moving among the busi-
ness men yesterday, sounding them upon a sub-
to bring the Strakosch-Hess Grand Eng-
Opera Company to Galveston. So far his suc-
cess has been fair enough to warrant the statement
that there is a strong probability of the troupe ap-
pearing here about the last week in the month.
Bell-Punch Delinquents.
county clerk informs a News reporter that
all the liquor dealers have complied with the law
requiring that a bond shall be given to and a per-
mit obtained i.Fom the county clerk before making
sales unaer the bell-punch law, except about forty,
and that the Grand Jury is likely to take hold of
these delinquents early in the week. An immediate
compliance with the requirements of the law will
save these parties both trouble an expense.
Committee Meeting.
The statistical committee on deep water met at
the mayor's office last evening. A full and free dis-
cussion of the plans that should be adopted in ar-
ranging the facts and figures to be employed in
evidencing the importance of Galveston as a ship-
ping point was indulged in, and without a dissent-
ing word it was agreed that the work must be well
done. The committee then adjourned to meet
again early in the coming week to complete the di-
vision of the work that is to be performed.
Stray Notes.
The German Club held another of their enjoyable
receptions and hops at the Tremont last night.
The Board of Health met yesterday afternoon,
but as no- quorum was present nothing was done.
The schooners John S. Case and Nellie Starr are
being rapidly fitted up at New wharf for the car-
goes of live stock they are to take to Cuba.
The party of Mexican gentlemen whose arrival
a few days ago was duly noted gave the News
office the compliment of a call yesterday evening,
when they thoroughly inspected its various de-
partments. expressing themselves as greatly
pleased with the time and labor-saving appliances
in use, and the general magnitude of the establish-
ment. They are a cultured, pleasant party of gen-
tlemen, from whom a visit is always appreciated.
They were chaperoned yesterday by Col. Gon-
zalez, brother of President Gonzalez,of the Mexican
Republic.
Maritime Matters.
Except at Central and Williams's wharves, very
little of activity was displayed along the front yes-
terday, apd only at those places was aught to be
noted other than the mechanical loading of the
steamships.
At New wharf the Oromoeto, Aphrodite and Tai
Lee are taking on cotton. The first named will
probably go outside Monday to complete her
cargo.
The bark Imperator went out from that point
late night before last to finish.
The barks Lynton, Gustav Adolph and Curry
Treffenburg. are anchored in the stream abreast of
New and Lufkin's wharves, awaiting berths. They
came inside yesterday and the night before.
The Danish brig Oline is also waiting for quarters.
The Dashaway lies near the flats off New wharf.
It is said to be the intention of her own^r to put her
in the direct Mexican trade.
The schooner Albert Paul, with cypress lumber
for the International road, reached Briek wliarf last
night.

discharging at East levee yesterday.

New York Stock Market.
Nkw York, January 14.—The stock market opened
strong, and in the early dealings prices advanced
per cent., but subsequently declined
per cent., telegraph shares showing the most de-
pression. At the first board speculation assumed a
strong tone, and the railway list advanced sharply
during the afternoon, the improvement ranging
from per cent, the latter m Canada South-
ern, heavy purchases of which were made on the
report that the New York Central Company had
leased the road and guaranteed an annual dividend
of 3 per cent. Reading rose 5J4 per cent., St. Paul
3%. Union Pacific Iron Mountain 2V6, Delaware
and Hudson 2. In the dealings, realizing sales
caused a reaction of )4©2per cent., the latter in
Canada Southern, which was subsequently par-
tially recovered. Telegraph sliares were feverish
in the afternoon, and closed at a decline of 2^@3!4'
per cent. Transactions aggregated 567,000 shares.
Mincing; Lane Markets.
London, January 14.—The Mincing Lane markets
have been inanimate since the beginning of the
year, and prices generally have favored buyers.
The state of political affairs restricts demands for
many classes of products. An increased supply of
coffee was offered. Plantation Ceylon was l@3s.
lower. West India coffee of last season's importa-
tion was heavy at a smaller decline, but fine was
steady. All common descriptions, including Ja-
maica, were rather lower. Stock is now nearly the
same in amount as at this time last year. Tea was
firm but inactive. There was rather more demand
for low brown sugars to arrive, but the market was
generally quiet. Crystallized West Indies does not
support the recent advance. Refined was better,
but sugar wan 6d. higher. New Burmah rice for
spring shipment was rather lower.
The English Markets.
London, January 14.—The Manchester Guardian,
in its commercial article, this morning, says: The
market continues quiet with small sales. Pro-
ducers, who. since the beginning of the year, have
been holding out for extfeme rates, appear new to
have altogether abandoned them, and prices gener-
ally a point below those current ten days ago. This
giving way, however, has not been sufficient to
tempt, a fresh buying on a large scale.
Colored S$elegation at Mentor.
Ci.F-vei.anu, o.. January 14.—The colored delega-
tion visited Mentor to-day and waited on Gen. Gar-
field at his home. The delegation was composed of
R. B. Elliott. S. Lee and D. A. Stroker, of South
Carolina; Henry E. Curry, of Texas; James B.
Devereux, of Georgia: G. W. Price, Jr., George
Malison. James W. Hood, John V. Leary, J. W.
Harris and Stewart Ellison, of North Carolina. On
being received by Gen. Garfield, Elliott, the spokes-
man, addressed the president-elect, and. after con-
gratulating him on his election, said: "We
have come to present you with a brief
statement >of our condition in the South,
not in a spirit of dictation, but in
the belief that a fair representation of our cause
can best be made by those of us who are compelled
to endure grieviouswrongs for mere opinion s sake.
Although olothed with the rights of citizenship by
the provisions of the Constitution of the United
States, and recognized as such by legislative enact-
ments and judicial decisions, yet, still, in all South-
ern States we are citizens in name and not in fact.
Our right to participate in elections for the choice
of public officers is not only questioned, but, in
many localities, absolutely denied us by means of
armed violence, fraud and intimidation. In many
Southern States, sir, the rights of. tho majorities
are illegally and wantonly subverted by the impe-
rious will of unscrupulous majorities, for no other
reason than that these majorities consist of men
who, free and enfranchised by the laws of the land,
prefer to remain loyal to the country of which they
are the citizens, and steadfast to tliat political party
which saved the life of the Nation,and to the charge
of which can most safely be intrusted the duty of
preserving the results accomplished by the late
war. The methods resorted to by our political
opponents in the South to deprive us of rightful
partieipation in pubiic affairs have been so often
stated to the public, and are so well known to
you, that it is smnecessary that we should
give a detailed statement on this occasion.
Suffiice it to say that by the infamous use of
fraudulent tissue ballots, by deliberate falsification
of registry books and election returns, by forcible
ejectment from the polls of negro voters by armed
mobs, by murder and a general system of terror-
ism. and by refusal in many cases to hold elections
a precincts where the majority of voters are re-
publicans, elections have been rendered a mere
farce. State governments have been made to derive
their powers", not from the consent of the governed,
but from the arbitrary will of domineering minori-
ties. We are powerless, sir. to redress our wrongs
through the machinery of the State courts, for to
all intents and purposes they are organized against
us. juries oftenest being composed not only of those
who sympathize with the violators of the law, but
frequently consisting in part of actual participants
hi wrongAloing."
The address then goes on to say that even in the
Federal courts colored people can not obtain re-
dress of wrongs done them, for the reason that
those who are responsible for these wrongs sit in
the jury-box to pass judgment on them; that this
condition of affairs has created a feeling of unrest
among the colored people of the South, and has led
many of them to seek relief in strange and uncon-
genial parts of the country. The address then sets
forth the inadequacy of the educational facilities in
the South, and urges the importance of
creating a National system of education
under the control of the Federal Government.
Hie address then continues: "Wedeemit our duty,
in the interest of those whom we have the honor to
represent, as well as hi the interest of the republi-
can party at large, to call attention to the character
of Federal appointments in the South in the past,
and respectfully urge that the system of placing in
public positions men not only in want ot sympathy
with the principles of the republican party, but
whs use their positions to obstruct and hinderthe
enforcement of the laws passed for the protection
of the rights of American citizens, be abandoned,and
that men who, though calling themselves republi-
cans, are of no fixed or well defined political
sentiments, men who are all things to all men
ami nothing to any, and who are totally without a
follower, and represent nobody but themselves, be
Dot longer set over us as representatives of the
Federal Government. Such appointments, sir, in-
stead of strengthening the republican party, have
been a positive source of weakness." The address
closes with an expression of hope and belief that
the richts and interests of the colored people will
not be forgotten by the president-elect in the hour
of his triumph.
Garfield's Reply to the Colored Office-
Seckers.
Clevelanp, o., January 14.—To the address of
the co'.ored men. Gen. Garfield responded in the fol-
lowing language:
Gen. Elliott and Gentlemen: I thank you for
your congratulations upon the successful termina-
tion of the great campaign that recently closed,
especially for that kind allusion to me personally
for the part I have taken in that campaign.
What I have done and what I have said
concerning your race, and the great problem that
your presence on this continent has raised, I have
said as a matter of profound conviction, and hold
to it with all the meaning of the words employed in
expt e «ing it. What you have said in regard to the
situation of your people, the troubles
that they have encountered, the events
from which they have suffered, and
still suffer I listen to with deep attention, and
shall give it the full measure of refllction. This is
not the time, nor the place, for me to indicate any-
thing as to what I shall have to say and do by and
by in an official way, but this I may say,
I noted as peculiarly significant one sentence
of the remarks of Gen. Elliott to the
effect that t he ma jority of the citizens, as he al
leges, in some portions of the South are oppressed
by the minority. If this be so, why is it? It is be-
cause a trained man is two or three in one in com-
parison with an untrained man, and outside of poli-
tics and outside of parties that suggestion is full—
brimful of significance. The way to make the majori-
ty always powerful over the minority, is to make its
members as trained and intelligent as the minority
is in all that boars on the equality of citizenslP^.
No law can confirm and maintain in the long run a
thing that is not upheld with a reasonable degree
of culture and intelligence. Legislation
ought to do all it can. I have made these sugges-
tions simply to indicate that the education of your
race, in my judgment, lies at the base of the final
solution cf your great question, and that
«tn not be altogether in the hands of the
Stiie cr of ti e National Government. Government
oui,-ht to do all that it properly can; but the native,
hungering and thirsting for knowledge that the
Creator has planted in every child, must be culti
vated by the parents of these children, to the last
possible degree of their ability, so that the hands
of the people shall reach out and grasp in
darkness the hand of the government
extended to help them, and by that united
effort the two will bring what mere legislation alone
can not immediately bring. 1 rejoice that you have
expressed so strongly and earnestly your views in
regard to the necessity of your education, I have
felt for years that the filial solution of these efforts
that are humble, and comparatively out of
sight, are, in the long run, the greatest offorts.
Men that sink aeofft riam to the river and work
for a month in anchoring a great stone to build
solid abutments and piers, whose work is by-
and-by covered by water and out of sight,
do not get their share of credit. The gaudy
structure of the bridge resting on these piers,
across which trains thunder. 1* the thing which
strikes the eye of the public. The educational
growth, the building up of industry, economy and
all that can be done to help the foundation of local
prosperity, is a work that in the long run will tell
Some Scottish poet has said, or put it in the mouth
of some poet to say, the time would come " When
Bertram's right and Bertram's might shall meet on
Ellengowan's Height." When the might, and right
of a people meet, majoritities are
never oppressed by minorities. I trust,
then. gentlemen, that you may take
part in the earnest work of building your race
from the foundation in solidity of intelligence and
industry, and upon those bases at last see fill your
rights recognized. This is my personal wish and
hope for your people.
Mr. Elliott then introduced Bishop Hood as the
bearer of an address from the Board of Bishops of
the African M. E. Church of Zion, which the bishop
read. The address consisted of congratulations of
the church, having a following of more than half a
million of people; expressed confidence in his in-
tention to do what he could to redress the wrongs
of the colored race, and promised him the continued
prayers of the church for his successful adminis-
tration of the Government.
Gen. Garfield replied: Please return my thanks to
the bishopf for their kind expressions and sugges-
tions. After what I have already said no further
response will be necessary. After the customary
greetings, the delegation returned to Cleveland.
POINTS OE INTEltEST BY ATLANTIC
CABLE.
Debate in the Common*.
London, January 14.—In the House of CoMmons,
to-night, debate on the address was resumed.
Messrs. Sexton and Sullivan, home-rulers, de-
fended the action of the Land Leajjue, and attacked
the Government.
Mr. Vivier, liberal, said the feelings of the Irish
were shown by the fact that many of them liad
waded through the blood of LOI0 Montfliorrls.
Mt Parnell said that was a falsehood.
The speaker declared if Mr. Parnell applied the
expression to any member of the House, he must
withdraw it.
As Mr. Parnell neither withdrew nor repeated the
expression, Mr. Vivian said he would leave the
House to judge between him and Mr. Parnell.
Mr. ChUds, secretary of state for war, strongly
urged the necessity of energetic measures in Ire-
land. He saw * tnat the Government could not
tolerate revolution and allow Ireland to be swayed
by self-asserted authority.
Mr. Parneli's amendment to the address was re-
jected by a vote of 435 to 57. The debate was then
adjourned. About six liberals voted with the
minority.
A ii Independent Order —A Prescrip-
tion for Ireland.
London, January 14.—It is authoritively an-
nounced that the new Parliament party, formed
under Mr. William Shaw with a view to independ-
ent action, will only oppo3e the coercion bill within
the strict forms of the House, and if they consider
the Irish bill just and equitable, they will not only
support it in view but will endeavor to obtain its
acceptance in Ireland.
It is imderstood that the Duke of Richmond's
conservative commission on agricultural depres-
sion, in the part of their report dealing with Ire-
land. recommend a Government scheme of immi-
gration from the over-peopled districts, a plan for
the reclamation of waste lands, and a court of arbi-
tration for fixing rents. They generally approve,
in a modified form, peasant proprietary.
The minority of the commission consider these
measures as not sufficiently strong.
The Trials of the Traversers.
Dcblin, January 14.—Mr. McDonough to-day con-
tinued his speech for the traversers. He said lie
submitted with confidence to the jury that the Land
League was a perfectly legal organization to cause
by agitation certain alterations in the land laws,
the uecessityof which not only Ireland but all Eng-
land was now urging. He set before the jury the
example of the jury who acquitted the seven bish-
ops, and drew a moving picture of the evictions
which followed the Irish famine.
Mr. Samuel Walker followed on the same side
with a powerfid speech. Quoting the charter of the
Land League, he contended it was legal. He read
extracts of the parliamentary -speeches of Mr.
Gladstone, Mr. Lane and Mr. Bright, in support of
the compensation for disturbance bill. He insisted
that the traversers had said nothing more calcu-
lated to damage landlordism than was said in the
speeches in Parliament referred to.
The court adjourned until Monday. When Mr.
McDonough concluded his speech he was loudly
cheered.
Trial of Land Leagjuers.
Trai.ee. January 14.—The examination of the
officers of the Tralee branch of the Laud League
was concluded to-day. Mr. Brassell, proprietor of
the Kerry Independent, and Mr. J. Seakj-. president
of the branch of the Land League, were discharged.
Concerning the other prisoners the magistrates
deferred their decision until to morrow, the accused
meanwhile remaining in custody. The defense of-
fered no evidence.
Notoriously Generous.
London, January 14.—The Times this morning
says: Wo understand that Mr. Mitchell Henry,
home-rule member of Parliament for Galway
county, who has spent a fortune in reclaiming and
beautifying his estates in the west of Ireland, and
who has been notoriously generous to his tenantry,
has been obliged to quit Ireland in consequeuce of
threats.
Willing to Transfer.
London, January 14.—It is stated that the London
city guilds, which own estates in Ireland, have
been sounded regarding a transfer to tenants,
under the terms of the new land bill. They are
willing to make the necessary arrangements, and
about 170,000 acres of the lands belonging to those
companies will probably be thus transferred.
The Prussian Diet.
Berlin, January 14.—In the Lower House of the
Prussian diet to-day Herr Windtliorst, leader of
the Catholic party, supported by all the members
of the center and the Polish deputies, introduced a
resolution declaring that the administration of the
sacraments and the celebration of the mass are not
subject to the penalty clauses of the laws of 1872,

tion of the resolutions.
Operations Against Gcok-Tepe.
London, January 14.—A dispatch from St. Peters-
burg says: The complete capture of Geok-Tepe,
and even its investment, according to one account,
which states that its eastern side is open, is by no
means an accomplished fact, until the result of the
main assault is received.
It seems to be generally felt that the beginning of
the year 1881 finds the country with much brighter
prospects than the past year. In spite of nihilism,
certain measures of progress toward real liberal
reforms have been made.

CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.
A Boy Nine Tears Old Convicted of
manslaughter.
Machines, >fe., January 14.—Warren Longmore,
aged nine years, yesterday found guilty of man-
slaughter, in causing the death of Freeman Wright,
eieht years of age, at Pembroke, Me., October 8
last, was this morning sentenced to the State Re-
form School during his minority. Longmore first
shot his victim, and was discovered in the act of
nigging his grave. While doing so, Wright showed
signs of life, when Longmore struck liim on the
head several times with a spade, which he was
using.
Wife-IWiirderer Executed,
St api, Eton, R. I., January 14.—Edward Reynhard,
the wife-murderer, was executed in the yard of the
Richmond county jail, at 10 o'clock thi3 morning.
Cotton and Sugar Estimates.
New Orleans, January 14.—The Democrat to-
morrow will contain special reports of cotton re-
plies in interior towns through the States of Geor-
gia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Arkansas, Tennessee and Texas. These reports
show that there has been a general falling off of
receipts, except in Georgia, Florida, southern
Louisiana and Texas, as compared with 1879,
the towns on the Mississippi bottom report
a considerate decrease. In this section much cot-
ton, variously estimated at from 10 to 25-per cent.,
remains unpicked in the field, and there is no hope
of saving more than half of it. Much of it is re-
ported as rotting in the fields. The Democrat also
lias reports from the Louisiana sugar crop, which
go to confirm its former estimate of 23,600 hogs-
heads. The small planters liave finished sugar-
making. anti;only a few of the larger plantations
are still grinding. A very small percentage of cane
remains in the fields, and all of it will be ground in
two weeks. Contrary to expectations the Decem-
ber freeze did little damage. The yield has every-
where been fine, and some sections, notably in the
large sugar parishes, it has been enormous. Re-
ceipts indicate an average increase of 54 per cent,
over last year, when the yield for the State was
173,424 hogsheads.
Congressional.
Washington, January 14.—A bill was introduced
by Senator Hoar to-day to provide for retired and
retiring presidents. It provides to pay an-
nually every ex-president of the United States a
sum equal to one-fourth ot" the salary paid him
while in office,
Everett P. Wheeler, chairman of the executive
committee of the civil service reform commission,
made an argument to-day before tho Senate
committee on civil service, in favor of civil service
reform.
The joint commission on the congressional
library made a report to-day in favor of the erec-
tion of a special building for the accommodation

tains positive diuretic properties and will not nauseate. Ladies especially will like it,

THE TURNERS' ANNIVERSARY.
This is the twenty-seventh anniversary of the
Houston Turnverein, and it is being duly cele-
brated. The liall was handsomely decorated with
flags, pictures and evergreens, and the assemblage
began early. At 10 o'clock the festivities began,
with music by the Lone Star Band. Next. President
May delivered a beautiful and impressive oration
in German. After the oration the floor was taken
possession of by tlie juvenile Turners, and some
interesting exercises in gymnastics were gone
through with. When the gymnastics were through,
President May invited all to partake of a luncheon,
the Bohemians present immediately voted to accept
the proposition, Mr. Cook voting no. What Presi-
dent May termed a " luncheon " was, in reality, an
elegant banquet. Sentiments were proposed, re-
sponses were made and toasts were drank; but we
must defer anything like a report until to morrow's
issue of the Age. [Evening Age.

fire.
About 2:30 o'clock this afternoon an alarm of fire
was sounded from the bell at the Washington Street
Methodist Church, caused by the burning of the
stable and fowl-house at Mr. Aaron B, Brown's
residence, No. 19 Young avenue, in the Fourth
Ward. The buildings mentioned were destroyed,
and the loss sustained will amount to $500 or $600,
not covered by insurance. The fire is supposed to
have originated by one of the children playing with
a torch among the combustible contents of the sta-
ble. Mechanics No. 6 Fire Company rendered great
service, and it is, perhaps, owing to their efforts
that the residence was saved. The question arises
is, why was not the alarm bell in the market-house
tower sounded ?

LIVE STOCK.
Henrietta (Clay county) Shiald: Cattle on the
ranges are suffering a good deal from cold and
snow, but as yet none have died except a few old
cows and spring calves Cattle in Cooke, Denton
and Montague counties, at least all that are seen
along the road, look very thin, much poorer than
those oh our western ranges.
Canton (Van Zarrt county)Chronicle: The winter
has been very cold.ibut cattle have stood it remark-
ably well, but few have died.
Corpus Christi Ledger: A brief note from Mr.
Ed. Buckley at Brown's rancho, on his way to La-
Salle, conveys the report of there being little, if
any, loss to stock in that section during the recent
severe weather The Dodge City (Kan.) Times
says: " Kenedy, the South Texas cattle king, has
sold out his stock interests to an English stock
company for $800,000." Such may be the case, but
nothing is known of it here where the gentleman
lives. Englishmen have looked at his rancho, and
very rightly consider it a good property, but none
of theiji have yet come up with the cash neces-
sary to secure them the privilege and right of
owners.
