Tie Corsicana Observer, under its
vetran editor. Major Van Horn, has
the far sustained itself sincc it became-
a dily, in a manner that shows that its
pulisher has the way as well as the will
to succeed. The fine old county of
Nsrarro has cause to feel proud of its
pres, and should not let such papers
as he Observer and Index languish for
tht -want of proper support. The
Nfvvs could not well be without them,
am surely those who have become sub-
scibers will continue to be such, pay-
ing promptly and inducing others to
dolikewise.
""he Herald says that this winter beef
tht been so poor in the San Antonio mar-
kes that it was suggested concerts
should be given for the benefit of it,
so confoundedly poor were the steaks.
The Herald, in speaking of the im-
portance of rigid measures for main
twining law and order in Western
Texas, and the continued support
given by that section to Governor
Coke, notwithstanding his neglect of
measures for its benefit, says:
Even when acting under the cravings
of an inordinate and ill-regulated am-
bition he struck hands with a secret
political body, and demanded the Uni-
ted States Senatorship as his due, un-
propitious circumstances combined to
make it expedient for the* representa-
tives from Western Texas to give him
their support rather than to his com-
petitor. The course thus pursued was
caused by dire necessity. Gov. Coke
had gone back on his promises to West-
ern Texas, both special and general, and
his competitor had advocated measures
deemed by the people of Western Texas
most inimical to their interests. Upon
the abdication of the Executive chair
by Gov. Coke, it was assumed under
the law by Lieutenant Governor Hub-
bard. This gentleman was, if possible,
a still greater favorite than Gov. Coke.
His geniality as a gentleman, his elo-
quence as a speaker and his undoubted
Democracy certainly did then and does
now entitle him to our admiration and
our support. Since his advent into office
we have made but slight allusions to his
official career, bccause we had been
waiting for him to show his hand.
During Governor Coke's rdministra-
tion, Western Texas had been over-
run by trans-Colorado robbers and
thieves; petitions, remonstrances
and earnest supplications were un-
heeded, until, tired out by our impor-
tunity, Captain McNelly, with fifty
men, was sent to render such aid as he
could. Even in granting this slight
service, the passage of the bill was ac-
companied with much ribaldry and in-
vective against the people of Western
Texas. The term of service that these
few men were engaged for, is now
about to expire. It is in the power of
Governor Hubbard to re-engage them
for an additional term. It is the unani-
mous sentiment of the people of West-
ern Texas that their services have been
beyond all precedent signally success-
ful in restraining lawlessness and in the
suppression of crime. They desire the
retention of this force in the field, and
urge its increase in numbers to con-
summate the work so vital to the peace
and prosperity of Western Texas. This
section of the State, large in its area
and sparsely populated, requires this
very organization to insure peace and
order.
The Corpus Christi Times has a lead-
er on a leading interest of Western
Texas—sheep raising, as compared with
the growing of cattle:
Many men have tried hard to succeed
in that business, but have been forced
to sell their little stocks of cattle to
some one that counts them already by
the ten thousand. Yet there is not
known to be a failure of any one who
has been engaged in the sheep business.
No difference how small his stock is,
the larger ones do not interfere with,
hut rather assist it. Large stocks of
cattle eat up small ones, but not so
with sheep.
One reason for this difference is that
the sheepman has his flocks under his
hands. He knows every night how
many head of sheep he owns. They
are under herd all the time—he can see
them every day. If his sheep are sick,
or disabled from any cause and can not
follow the herd, they are kept up, doc-
tored and fed until they are well and
able to go again.
Not so with cattle. They are scat-
tered broadcast over the country, and
are not seen by the owners for per-
haps years, and some he, never does
see.
Again, another advantage of sheep
over cattle—they are sheared twice a
year—spring and fall; so that the owner
a flock can calculate very near the
vaiQQ of his clip in dollars before it is
cut off, QQii can make his outlay to cor-
respond. II e has an advantage over a
farmer who cvlti, ates the soil. He
has but one crop a .r«ar, while the sheep
man has two certain, never failing
crops.
The cattle man, it is true, Ms his
beeves for sale, and they bring cash at
his rancho, so also the sheep has his
mutton, which will also bring cash at
his rancho. The sale of mutton from a
flock of sheep costing $5000, will
amount to more than the sale of beeves
from a stock of cattle costing
the same amount of money. So
that the sheep owner has his clips of
wool over and above the cattle man.
Money invested properly in sheep in
this country, and then let out on the
shares, so that the investor need have
no trouble or care over them, need not
see them at all, will surely return him
25 per cent, annually. It has been done
not far from this place.
The Dallas Herald calls the attention
of people in Northern Texa3 to the im-
portance of fish culture.
The Cass county Sun proclaims some
sound financial maxims for its future
government; among them is the adage,
"Never owe anymore than you are
able to pay, and let no one owe you
more than you are able to lose." The
Sun says " we will place no man's name
on our subscription book unless it is
paid for." Right. The publisher who
would use a subscription book without
paying for it ought .not to expect sub-
scribers to pay in advance.
Enforcing the laws is the best pre
ventive of crime. The Marshall Herald
says:
Before the war there were four States
where the law was rigidly enforced:
South Carolina, North Carolina, Vir-
ginia and Massachusetts. Money and
influence there were powerless where a
crime had been committed. The mur-
derer knew in advance that the gallows
awaited him, and that it was certain of
it3 victim. The conscquence was there
were few homicides. It would be the
case to-day in Texas if the petit juries
of the country would do their duty,
and, as an example, hang a few gentle-
man for the too free use of the revolver
That day will come, and it is not far
off, for society is groaning under the
weight of crime.
The Fort Worth Democrat reminds
those who always wants an editor to
practice what he preaches, "that the ed-
itor is not the paper outside of its csl
umns, any more than is the judge the
court when not on the bench." True,
the stern and upright judge unbends
when off the bench, and if an editor
happens to get sprung after the paper
is out, it does not follow that his lec
lures on temperance are not to be
hesded.
The Corpus Chriiti Gae&ite does not
join in the common cry of " want of
enterprise " against Galveston, but asks
the merchants of Corpus to emulate
those of the Island City in this respect.
That paper remarks:
With the advent of the Galveston
steamer competition may be looked
forward to by our men of business and
preparation made to meet it and light it
with its own weapon—enterprise. No
idle motive prompted the investment of
capital by Galveston merchants, nor
created the interest manifested by their
proceedings. By the prompt payment
of the first assessment made upon the
stock subscription, the intention to
carry to a successful end the work as
originally laid out is evidenced beyond
contradiction. As men of foresight
and business qualifications, they make
the investment with the full expecta-
tion of again receiving the principal
with a liberal interest. They do not
anticipate a realization of their expec-
tations, however, directly in dollars
and cents, nor without competing for
the prize with a monopoly which has,
in many instances, wickedly visited
upon the commerce of Texas wrongs
and exactions as injurious as they were
unjust. The trade of Western Texas
is what is sought by the commercial
men of Galveston, and through enter-
prise alone they expect to obtain it. It
is centered at Corpus Christi, and
through enterprise they contemplate
the cultivation of closer business rela-
tions and the security of the trade.
In the struggle for the supre-
macy Galveston places herself in
direct opposition to New Orleans,
but she hopes for success through the
manifestations of enterprise which has
never yet characterized the movement
of merchants of the Crescent City.
She strives to give to Corpus Christi
the advantages of a regular steam line,
bringing her in closer connection by
several days with the cities of the
world, removing obstructions to immi-
gration, and affording facilities to com-
merce needed for its development. In
this her citizens desire the co operation
of those whose interests are here. But,
should they discover a disposition to
not afford the proper support when
needed, from reliable authority it is
learned that leading men of that city
have Already avowed their intention of
establishing branch houses in this city
for the transaction of business direct
with Galveston. This, we feel, will not
be necessary, and we hopefully look
forward to the time when mutual ef-
forts will cement the business of the
metropolis of the State and the future
metropolis of Western Texas.
The Gazette, notwithstanding the
many valuable improvements made by
the live stock men of .Western Texas,
thinks much remains to be done for the
protection of cattle. Shelter and win-
ter feeding, or a great reduction of the
number of cattle on the range, seems to
be necessary to prevent heavy losses
during such weather as has prevailed
for the past few weeks.
The Tyler Democrat thinks that if
the newspapers that put it " voted for
local option," or "voted against local
option," will say instead, voted for pro-
hibition, or against prohibition, people
could better understand what they
mean.
The Texas VolksKatt will make its

NOTES AND
opA
IONS.
Memphis Appeal: We firmly believe
that if,Tilden obtains the office to which
he has been elected the nation will
speedily enjoy the peace and prosperity
it so sadly needs; and we just as firmly
believe that if Hayes obtains the office
to which he was not elected, national
peace and prosperity will be postponed
indefinitely, if not forever.
Boston Herald: Governor Hendricks
makes a good point in saying that
while the peace of Indiana has several
times during his four years term been
threatened by armed bodies of men, in
no instance has the United States been
called on for help, but the supremacy
of the law has been maintained by the
people of the State.
Boston Post: Mr. Justice Field, of
the United States Supreme Bench, is
quoted as expressing hi3 belief that
Tilden is elected, and as denouncing
the attempt of the Louisiana Returning
Board to count in Hayes. There is
nothing astonishing in this. A much
less learned man than a Judge of the
Supreme Court is competent to form
an opinion on a matter which is so
plain that even Republicans of the bet-
ter sort concede the result.
Philadelphia Telegraph: There is no
law, written or common, no precedent
giving the President of the Senate any
such power as this plan proposes to
give Mr. Ferry. But the truth is, the
American people have grown so accus-
tomed to witness the law and the con-
stitution set aside for mere political ex-
pediency's sake, that they hejir of such
a proceeding with most dangerous
equanimity.
Extra Billy Smith, Virginia's war
Governor, and a celebrated" ents helium
politician, is now member of the State
Legislature. Although seventy-six years
of age, he is as robust in general health
and vigorous in mind as he was twenty
years ago. His inclination to talk is ir-
resistible, and usually he talks well.
He keeps abreast of the times as to sub-
jects of thought, though his ideas as to
the treatment of the subjects are occa
sionally antiquarian.
Indianapolis Sentinel: Vidocq Mor-
ton, thoroughly familiar with political
rascality of all kinds, made so by na-
ture, education and surroundings,
gravitating toward it as naturally as a
dog to a bone, was selected to find cor-
ruption in the Oregon matter whether
it was there or not. If not there the
appearance of it would answer in neu
tralizing the effect of the returning
board rascality and to becloud anc
darken the public judgment in regard
to it. Well, this political detective has
exhausted his energies and ability in
endeavoring to discover any appearance
of fraud or corruption in the Oregon
matter.
World: Even if the Senate committee
on counting the electoral vote has not
decided how it is to he counted out,
only how it is not to be counted—that
is a necessary preliminary for which
we are thankful. It is rumored, and
apparently with reason, that the ab-
surd notion that Mr. Ferry could be
made a returning board of one, with
the powers and attributes of everybody,
has been knocked on the head. This
was to be expected, and is to be com-
mended. A little more deliberation,
and the Senate will come so see that
the two branches of the National Le-
gislature have equal powers in the mat-
ter.
Sun: If Hayes should be put into the
White House by the means which have
been prepared and announced for the
purpose, by making the President of
the Senate the sole arbiter of the elec-
toral votes, and by putting down the
House of Representatives by military
force, one of the early results would
be the failure of more than half the
business firms in the country, the pau-
perism of laboring people, a universal
panic, and misery incalculable among
every class of the population. Such
would be among the first fruits of mak-
ing a President by the Returning Boards
in the South, and fraud and violence in
Washington. The sure way to avoid
these evils is to let justice and right
take their course in the inauguration
of Samuel J. Tilden.
COMMERCIAL.
NEWS OFFICE, I
Monday Evejtiso Jan. 22, 1877. (
There was a fair jobbing trade done
to day, in spite of the wretched weather
and miserable condition of the business
thoroughfares.
Sugar is higher, but with this excep-
tion there has not been any important
deviation in the values of leading arti-
cles in the general market.
In hides the feeling is not so de-
spondent, but the wet weather impedes
business considerably.
Wool is barely nominal and the few
parcels on sale are held above buyers'
views. The latter are very effish on all
short or coarse wools.
The cotton market has been quiet,
and sales were light. Liverpool was
reported firm for spot, but arrivals ruled
weak. Spot closed 1 16c. higher in
New York, and futures having recov-
ered from the weakness during the
forenoon, closed 1-lOc. higher for all
months than on Saturday.
the "swamp" foxes "doubling."
The hide quarter of New York is
known to the trade as "The Swamp,"
and from the following paragraph in
the Bulletin of last Wednesday it
would appear as though the sly folks
who deal in hides were endeavoring to
cover their tracks and prepare for an
onslaught on the market. The Bulletin
quotes Galveston dry stock at 20 to
2Uc , selected, and says:
The market is characterized by the
same unsettled condition of affairs in
regard to values and consequent indis-
position on the part of buyers. Very
little business is reported, but at the
same time there are hints of transac-
tions that are kept quiet for a purpose.
There docs not appear to be indications
of immediate improvement, but a sud-
den buying movement would not be a
great surprise.
low wools lower.
The New York Bulletin of Wednes-
day says:
The low styles of Texas and Califor-
nia, indeed, are openly offered at a con-
cession, the poor condition in which
they have been marketed and a pretty
full accumulation of stock inducing
some anxiety among holders to real-
ize.
banks converting their capital
into gold.
A movement is on foot among
some of the New York banks to take
advantage of the present low price of
gold to put at least a part, of their
capital into gold. Whatever is done
in this way will just be so much ac-
complished in the way of preparing for
1879. If the premium on gold entirely
disappears comparatively little could be
lost by the banks; while if the price of
gold should, for any reason, advance,
the banks could only gain by it. It is
a matter well worth the consideration
of every bank.
A suggestive commentary on our
growing independence of European
manufactures is found in the fact that
not a single pound of railroad bar steel
was .imported at New York during the
past year, while during 1875 there was
entered at that port 13,164,002 pounds,
valued at $419,537. Either all this ma-
terial is now made in this country or
there was no use for the article by the
railroad companies. The importation
of cutlery for 1876 foots up $771,915,
against $1,047,159 for 1&75. The im-
portation of silk goods during the past
year amounted to $21,234,300, against
$23,161,312—a falling off of $2,927,012.
WILL GREENBACKS BEACH PAR IN 1871 J
The Shipping List of last Saturday
ventures the following upon the pros-
pects for resumption:
The check upon importation of for-
eign goods through enforced economy
and the hard times, and the increase of
exportation induced by lower prices,
have turned the balance of foreign
trade in our favor, and caused an influx
of coin which has placed it out of the
power of spejulators to control the
supply and manipulate the market for
the purchase of such as is used for the
payment of duties. Should trade be-
come as active in the spring as
expected, and the assurance of
the government to resume specie
payments by the beginning of 1879 be
made doubly sure, it is by no means
improbable that the gold premium
would entirely disappear before that
time. So far as the effect upon values
or upon the obligations of debtors is
concerned, the change now to be pro-
duced is less than that which has ac-
tually taken place in the last year. We
should not be surprised to see green-
backs at par in one year from this time,
if there is nothing to interfere with the
tranquillity and material progress of
the country, and no unfavorable change
in its financial policy.
concerning coffee.
The Shipping List of Wednesday last
quotes good ordinary to choice Rio
18ic. to 23^c., fancy 24c. gold, and says:
The calmness succeeding the activity
and buoyancy noticeable in this article
a week or ten days since, has been fol-
lowed, first, by a tamer feeling, and
then by a weakening of the general
market, until market values have be-
come unsettled, and we reduce our quo
tations one-half cent per pound. This
result may be attributed, first, to the
too rapid advance; next, to the falling
off in the jobbing trade, with an
accumulation of stock in dealers'
hands, owing largely to the ruling high
prices, and later by the ice blockade,
which extends throughout the entire
western country. The simultaneous
arrival of numerous vessels from Rio,
some a long time due, have largely in-
creased stocks and given us a better as-
sortment on the seaboard than we have
had for a long while past. These sup
plies, by no means excessive, have a de-
pressing influence, though, it should be
stated in this connection, that mostly
all those immediately due are now to
hand, and there is not likely to be any
material increase of stock for some lit-
tle time to come.

A'sad example of the fatal nature of
diphtheria has just occurred in Paris.
A whole family, consisting of father
and mother, and two children, were at-
tacked with it and carried off in a short
time. T)r. Rcgnault, who attended
them, caught the malady, and in spite
of the care of one of his colleagues, Dr.
Biset, died also in twenty-four hours.
Dr. Biset was then attacked ia his turn
and he expired.
