Governor Hnbbsrd and the State
Finances.
Governor Ilubbard has scope for a
financial policy only in this, that he
can retard expenditures. lie can re-
trench for the time being. The only
possible mode of procuring revenues du-
ring his term has been fixed. It is by taxa-
tion imposed by law enacted last sum-
mer. The provisions of the enactment
are specific and can not be changed or
modified by the Governor. At the same
time appropriations were made which
are also specific and can only be modi-
fied by suspending certain public
works and enterprises which were pro-
vided for by the laws and to prosecute
which appropriations were made. The
Governor may suspend such works and
enterprises, thereby suspending the ap-
propriations therefor. This is all the
policy financially the Governor can
have. The new constitution, the laws
and provisions, in force upon his inau-
guration, preclude anything else, any-
thing further or necessary, to place the
finances upon the proper basis. It is
too late now to call an extra session of
the Legislature, and if called the gov-
ernor could not count upon their sup-
port in providing the needful measures.
He can not be responsible for the ex-
isting and future condition of the State
finances any more than he can be
praised if good results follow the
workings of the policy established
by his predecessor, only in so
far as he may be able to suspend
certain appropriations, thereby reduc-
ing the deficiency in the revenue within
fuch limit that the State may be once
more able to meet its expenses with
cash. The deficiency was estimated by
the Comptroller as late as November 13,
1870, at $300,000, with *100,000 of defi-
ciency bonds on hand, and which if
used would reduce the actual deficiency
to $200,000. We may calculate on some
improvement in the collection of the
taxes under the new laws, and on some,
thing from back taxes and from taxes
on lands hitherto not rendered. "We
may also allow that the Governor is
able to suspend the building cf the
Eastern Texas Penitentiary to cost
£40,000 for the first year, to dodge re-
sumption of the Huntsville Penitentia-
ry for which $3-3,000 was appropriated,
and to defer erection of the college for
colored youth to cost $20,000, so that
altogether $93,000 of the appropiia
tions may be saved. It is likely, too,
that the abstract of land titles to cost
$30,000 will not be completed, in which
event the saving will be increased to
$125,000, and the} deficiency reduced
to $75,000. Certainly this small amount
may be met by increased revenue, or if
not so balanced, it is too small to sc
riously embarrass the government or
afford a wide margin for speculation in
the State's promises to pay under the
shadow of the Capitol.

IIeavv pressure was again brought
to bear on the President on Saturday
last to force an acknowledgment of the
Packard government, but with no bet-
ter effect than attended previous efforts.
What is to follow reports of the Con
gressional Committees can not be fore
seen, but it is certain that no action
will be taken until after these reports
are submitted. The President, in con
versation with a distinguished Republi-
can, speaking of the recognition of the
Kellogg government, in 1872, used this
emphatic language:
i have not yet forgotten, nor am i likely to
forget very soon, that on that occasion a Re-
publican Senate refused to sustain me in the
action i took. The history of the Louisiana
case,_ in 1872, has at least taught me to be
cautisus, anil careful ot judgment in such
matters, and I do not intend to piace myse.'f
111 such a position the second time.

Eds. News—The bold and manly
attitude assumed by the Grangers,
touching the Texas and Pacific railroad
scheme now before Congress is worthy
of all praise.
It is a timely and solemn protest
from the honest and hard working yeo-
manry of the Lone Star State against a
grasping, avaricious axd unprincipled
corporation, that has already despoiled
her of millions of her fair acres, and
would now, unless checked, divert the
enormous trade of the Orient and
China Seas to the alien cities of St.
Louis and New Orleans, that should
virtually drop into the lap of Galveston,
upon the construction of a Pacific rail-
road—lifting as it«were its parricidal
hand to paralyze the flow from the
breast that nursed it into life and
strength.
It is not the most flattering testimo-
nial to the business prescience of our
commercial community that it was left
to a council of Texan farmers to dis-
cover the insidious intentions of this
so-called "Texas and Pacific" to de-
stroy the commercial supremacy of the
chief city of the Gulf, and yet it is a
palpable, a most unequivocal fact, and
of the present delegation of Congress-
men from Texas there are—save, per-
haps, Senator Hamilton—'' none so poor
as to do her reverence." It seems as if
the iron clutch of the Pennsylvania
Railroad holds them as it held the col
lars of the late Texas Legislature! The
Galveston News has, upon all occa-
sions, defended the character and the
faithfulness to duty of the Hon. John
Hancock, and yet when he sees this at
tempt to throttle the commercial exist
ence of the chief city of not only his
own district, but of his State, he, be-
cause possibly of some fancied political
wrong from a portion of her citizens,
joins with her enemies, or remains
quiescent, and, like Achilles, "sulks in
his tent," when he shpuld, if a proper
representative of his constituents, fight
the hideous monster as did St. George
the Dragon, to the bitter death.
A short resume of the tactics of this
so-called "Texas and Pacific" may not
be out of place. It will at least awaken
our merchants and property owners to
a proper sense of the imminency of the
danger that threatens to leave Galves-
ton "high and dry," iu a commercial
Pacific and Atlantic sense. In the fall
of "'75" Col. Thomas A. Scott, the
great magician of the Pennsylvani?
Railroad, issued his ukase to his army
of agents and retainers scattered
throughout the South and West, that
they were to assemble upon a certain
day at St. Louis, to meet in a so-called
railroad convention. Now, every sane
man knew that the object of that con
vention was to create public opinion in
behalf of the passage through Congress
of that same Texas and Pacific scheme.
Every sensible and independent dele
gate, who by accident got there through
the mistakes of the manipulators chosen
by Scott to send delegates, saw that the
whole thing was "cut and dried;" that
the actors had studied their parts, and
that from the rising of the curtain to
th e finale, the play should not be "cut."
What was that programme?
1. To advocate the passage of the bill
guaranteeing interest on the bonds of
the Texas and Pacific Railroad.
2. Guaranteeing interest on a branch
road from the main line about the 103d
degree of west longitude and running
northeast to the city of St. Louis.
3. Another branch road running
from the main line at Marshall (or
Shreveport) southeast to the city of
New Orleans.
Our gallant and able representative
from Texas in that convention, Gen.
Tom Harrison, of Waco, had the temer-
ity to arise and suggest*" that as the
great Stale of Texas had granted the en-
terprise a princely subsidy, and had re-
peatedly given it the benefit of the most
friendly legislation, it would be but
reasonable and fair to allow one branch
road to reach out from the main Pacific
road to a point within the limits of her
own soil, and thus build up and foster
the interests ef a great commercial city,
which by its own increase and success
would add to the increase and success
of the State itself." And yet this fair,
square aa<% just proposition was rudely
choked down, under the inflexible rule
of the previous question and the "pre-
pared bill" was recommended.
The next effort of the people to as-
sert their independence of this insatiate
monster was during the session of the
late State Democratic Convention,
the Hon. George W. Chilton presented
a series of resolutions, and supported
their adoption in a speech of great
power and ability, asking the conven-
tion to request our senators and repre-
sentatives in Congress to '* vote against
any Texas and Pacific Railroad bill that
did not provide for a branch road to
some terminus on the Gulf within the
limits of the State of Texas." These
resolutions were adopted by a large ma-
jority, and to the intense horror of
Scott's retainers, who were, as usual, in
considerable strength on the floor;
but later in the session, when
some trivial question was before ihe
body, and scarcely a fourth of the
members were present, a delegate who
had not voted for the adoption of the
resolutions, moved their reconsidera-
tion, and, amid loud and angry pro-
tests and a crfll for a vote by counties,
the chair decided that the motion was
carried, although by the sound it had
not been. It is still a debatable ques-
tion whether or not that motion was
made, and the decision given at the in-
stigation of jTom Scott. I need not
call the attention of the public to the
shameless and disgusting exhibition of
power shown by the Texas and
Pacific over the late Legislature
—which forced that body into a
subserviency (not to use a worse,
or perhaps a more befitting phrase,)
that makes the memory of the scorned
and derided Twelfth Legislature stand
out against it as a "Hyperion would to
a Satyr."
The bill reported by Mr. Lamar at
the present session of Congress seems
to be a compromise between the Scott
and Huntington parties, heretofore vio-
lently contending against each other,
by which the interests of the Union
and Central Pacific and the Pennsyl-
vania Company have locked hands to
drop competition between the Pacific
coast and St. Louis, and thence east-
ward give Scott the orange and Texas
the peel.
The designation of " Texas Pacific"
enabled the astute "masterspirit" to
appeal to the Southern element in Con-
gress for a sectional support to a bill
that cuts to the heart the interests of
the commonwealth that endowed its
corporation with a subsidy equal to the
riches of "Ormus or of Ind." Let us
see.
Tiie first branch road proposed is the
"Atlantic and Pacific," which deflects
in a northeasterly direction from the
main trunk at or'about the 103d degree
of west longitude. Where does this
Northeastern road terminate, forsooth?
At St. Louis, utilizing this bankrupt
corporation of the Atlantic and Pacific
heretofore a dead weight upon Tom
Scott's bands, securing the national
subsidy and pouring nine-tenths of the
rich Pacific trade into a direct connec-
tion with the Pennsylvania system of
railways? What part of Texas is bene-
fitted by this line? Perhaps about one
hundred miles of arid desert, known as
the Llano Estacado, (or Staked Plain,)
whereon a sterility and desolation, only
equaled by the desert of Sahara is the
prospect, and the abode of the prairie
doe, the rattlesnake and the hooting
owl is the only reminder to the passing
traveler of the fact that he has touched
the territory of the most thriving—
commercially, financially and agricul-
turally—of all the States of the South.
Just at the first blush it is seen by the
most casual observer that the A. and P.
branch is to be made the main road of
the so-called " Texa3 and Pacific." It
is true that a stray bone may be thrown
in a local traffic to Fort Worth, Dallas
Marshall and Jefferson; but the " meat'
drops into the ravenous and capacious
maw of the great Pennsylvania ogre.
It used to be said that all roads lea to
Rome. The Rome of to-day in legis^-
tion is the Pennsylvania Railroad ard
its branches, and of it and its branches
Tom Scott can say, as the great Louis
said: "V Elate'est moi."
One of the paid agents of the Texas
and Pacific, in answer (?) to Judge
Terrell's warning letter about the im-
pending damage to Galveston by the
passage of this bill, quotes a section
showing that the rates for passage and
freight prescribed by Texas law shall
be held intact, and also shows thatr one
of the provisions of this bill authorizes
Congress to prescribe rates for the
future.
There ia not a word in the bill about
pro rating from San Francisco or San
Diego with any road or roads running
to Galveston. There is not a word said
about aiding, by the guarantee of inter-
ests on bonds, in the construction of a
road leading from a point on the Gulf
of Mexico, 'within even the limits of
the State of Texas, to join and become
a part of said Texas and Pacific road,
although by so doing passengers could
be transported from sea to sea twelve
hundred miles less in distance than by
the eastern connections of the Atlantic
and Pacific, and freight could be deliv-
ered in Liverpool from Hong Kong,
Tokioor Honolulu via Galveston $21 50
per each ton against two or three days
saved in time via New York.
Does any business man who has ever
gone around with a lantern looking for a
corporation with a soul, (as Diogenes
for an honest man,) imagine for a mo
ment that unless, for instance, the Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe (which, in its
direction would be the farthest west
and quickest junction with the Texas
and Pacific,) was a part of the main
line, the managers at the point of inter-
section would put themselves to any
trouble to forward through freight to
Galveston? No, sirs, it would stand on
the switches and and sidelings and rot,
until repeated losses and disappointment
would force the shipper to send by the
eastern connections via the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad.
Now mark th% other branches, as one
deflects immediately after the entrance
into the western border of the State,
and bids the prairie-dog, the owl and
the Comanche a fond and quick adieu.
So jumping the I. and G. N. Railroad,
the II. and T. C. Railroad, the G., C.
and Santa Fe Railroad, the Waco and
Austin branches of the H. and T. C.
Railroad, and M., G. and P. Railroad,
each and all of which have termini
upon the Gulf Coast of Texas, they gra-
ciously (?) allow a branch (this time
within stone's-throw of the eastern bor-
der,) from Marshal or Shreveport to
New Orleans —now, in the name of all
that is equitable, just and honest, why
should not that subsidy be given to a
branch (say theG., C. and S. F.,) that
would save hundreds of miles in dis-
tance, and would have been but simply
fair to the interests of the State of
Texas and her greatest seaport.
Again, another branch is permitted
from Jefferson to Memphis (this and
the Marshall line being the two tubs
thrown to Dave Culberson), and an-
other from Shreveport to Monroe, the
two last virtually making connection
with the aforesaid Pennsylvania sys-
tem.
In the name of justice, I appeal to
the members of Congress from Texas
to cease their support of Tom Scott
and this iniquitous scheme! I do not
believe for one instant that a single one
of our delegation could be improperly
influenced to do aught they conceived
would be injurious to their section or
their State. I know them to be able,
patriotic and honest. I believe they
are controlled by a mistaken idea as to
the natural results to be attained by
the passage of the measure before
them. I humbly ask them to weigh
well the whole matter before acting;
and, in the same sense, I appeal to the
business men of Galveston to help hold
up the hands of the noble farmers who
have in this, as in the past, been the
chief architects that have built up the
power and wealth of our beautiful city.
Texas would not ask for a branch
road if all the other branches are lop-
ped off. Make the T. and P. R. R. as
it was originally incorporated—one
great trunk line (pure and simple) and
authorizing all connecting roads from
either St. Louis, New Orleans or Gal-
veston to be entitled to pro rata rates
for passengers and freights, and there
will and ought to be an earnest support
accorded it by the whole people of
Texas—but Galveston nor the people of
Texas will ever consider those true re-
presentatives of her interests who vote
for a measure so clearly injurious in its
features as the bill now before Congress
for the relief of that corporation.

Corpus Christi Gazette: We can not
but compare our experience of 1803 and
1873 with the present outlook for the
cattle interests of Western Texas. Hav-
ing scarcely entered the winter season,
we are compelled to record some of the
severest weather in the South, and cer-
tainly in this portion of the State of
Texas. For one hundred miles from
the coast, in almost any direction, the
country has been eaten as bare as if
razed by fire. Lands under fence are
no exception to this rule, but if such
were possible, are many times worse
than the open range. Owners of such
lands, untaught by years of experience,
have overstocked them, and their herds
are without the sustenance necessary to
carry them through the winter. There
is nothing left to sustain life but shrubs.
Should the winter, as many predict,
prove to be a mild one, the grass will
soon spring up sufficiently for grazing
purposes, and enable stock to weather
the storm, but, on the contrary, should
it last through until March, with cold
sleeting rain and wind, the poor dumb
brutes must perish by the thousand
Already numbers of men have engaged
in the business of skinning, and in the
aggregate several thousand animals
have died. While anticipating the worst
we hope for the best.

canning establishment a large, new

however, lies silent and still. At W.

en's bone mill the Merriam Company
have been grinding some hash which
they were shipping on the schooner

and the din of the hammer and saw
were making merry music. A new,
large tin room was going up and vari-
ous additions were being made to the

an old citizen of Llano county was in

quiet and peaceful repose. He says
that the Rangers, assisted by their
brave and efficient Sheriff Bozarth,
have brought about a radical change in
his section for the better, tind he hopes
soon to see immigration comiDg in,
which has undoubtedly been prevented
heretofore on account of the reign of
terror that has heretofore existed

were almost incredibly large, and "fell

at twenty-five inches of snow on a
level... .Since the melting away of the
snow and the resumption of business,
news of disasters by the storm begin
to come in. Three gin-houses were
destroyed, besides one church (Metho

jured. One ot the residences had the
roof of the piazza crushed in. Three

Brenham Banner of Saturday: The
weather yesterday was exceedingly un
pleasant, and but few men from the
country had the nerve to face it and
put in an appearance in the city. It
was perhaps the dullest day among our
merchants that they have encountered
in a long time Dr. Creath says they
have only one thing to complain of on
Rockey, and that is the bad weather.
As soon as this changes, the farmers
will resume work in their fields, and be
ready to plant as soon as the season
will justify. There are as good far-
mers on Rockey as are to be found in
any part of our State The last house
in that notorious locality, known as
"hell's half acre," was charged and
routed yesterday morning by the city
police. Two "mokes, Bill Price anel
Owen Senter, were proved to have been
in the custom of keeping a one-horse
gambling house, where all the worst
characters infesting the city had been
in the habit of resorting to nightly.
Each of the prisoners was fined $50
and costs, and, in default of payment,
can now be found in the calaboose.

The sudden and unlooked for death of W. E.
Crews, on the 15th inst., at his plantation
near this place, has cast a gloom over our en-
tire commmunity. Born in Mulenburg, Vir-
ginia, February 7, 1829, he married Miss
Eienora N. Sherrill. in Christain county, Ken-
tucky, April 15, 1852, and immediately pro-
ceeded with his young bride to Texas, and
settled in Brazoria county, where they have
ever resided. Cut off in the meridian of life,
hi3 worthy devoted companion, and many
sons and daughters, in their deep affection,
have the heartfelt sympathies of our entire
community.
Devoted to the occupation of a planter,
which he has ever followed; most happy in
his family relations; respected, esteemed and
loved by the entire community in which he
lived, his loss is universally mourted, and his
name will long be embalmed in the memory of
his numerous, devoted friends. His entire
history is a most convincing proof of the fact
that " an honest man is the noblest work of
Goi." We have known him well in Texas for
nearly a quarter of a century. He was buried
with the usual ceremonies of the Masonic
Fraternity, of which Order he was a worthy
member. u.
