Target Shooting:*
The Galveston Artillery Company in
dulged in a target shooting match yes
terday afternoon for a handsome siver
pitcher offered by Lieutenant K. J.
Hughes. The firing was unusually good,
all of the contestants seeming determined
to get as close to the " bull's eye" as
possible. Among the best shots may be
mentioned the following : J. P. Harri
son, :ii): C. 15. Uardiner, 39 ; R. B. Dean,
3<i; K. T. Byrne, 2!); George Sealy, 28 ;
Win. Bondies, 26 ; 8. B. Southwick, 22.
There being a tie between Sergeants
Harrison and Gardiner, they agreed to
fire one shot each to determine which
shou d have the prize, which resulted in
favor of the former by a score of 12 to 9.
The prize was presented to the victor
by ('apt. M. F. Mott, of the Artillery
who made some neat and pertinent re
marks, which w:re duly appreciated by
those present.
The pitcher, which has been on exhi
bition for several days past at the jewelry
store of T. E. Thompson, will be in
scribed as follows :
"Presented by
Lieut. R. J. Hughes
to
J. P. Harrison
"Best Shot."

Another Sudden Death.
Mr. William Gallagher died quite sud-
denly yesterday afternoon, at the engine
house of Washington No. 1. During the
morning he was on the streets as usual,
and none of his most intimate friends
noticed anything particular in his ap-
pearance. Sometime during the after-
noon he went to the engine house and
laid down, where he was found at half-
past four o'clock, dead.
Mr. Gallagher had resided in Galves-
ton for many years, and was well known
to all old residents. At the commence-
ment of the late war he joined the Con-
federate forces, and as a member of Com
pany B, First Regiment of Artillery,
Capt. A. R. Weir, participated in the re
capture of (iaiveston on the morning of
January 1st, where he lost an arm.

Tabitha Young, a colored damsel of
mammoth proportions, was up before Jus-

the defendant was required to give bond
in the sum of $100 to keep the peace for
twelve months.
Gregory Cooper.
The deputy sheriff, who escorted the
young man (Jregory Cooper to Austin,
has returned. He reports that the ma
niac was manageable physically, but
would not cease talking, taking occasion,
in the course of his remarks, to curse the
people around him.
At the asylum he behaved very well
for a short time, and then a notion seized
him that he must castigate the other in
mates, which he did so severely that it
was necessary to confine him in a cage,

[Houston Reportorial and Business offlce
of the News, 42 Main street, near the corner
of Franklin. 1
Railway Combination.—A day or
two ago the Houston reporter of the
Sews called on Mr. John Shearn, Presi-
dent of the Houston Direct .Navigation
Company. The interview naturally
turned on the Ship Channel, its prospects
and probable results. "And so," said
the reporter, "the channel is a fixed fact'!"
"It is so," replied Mr. Shearn. "I never,
from tha inception of the enterprise, had
the least doubt as to < ither the feasibility
or the ultimate success of the enterprise.
Though others may have ridiculed the
idea, there were a few of us in the
secret who knew success was certain."
In reply to an inquiry, President Shearn
said he expected to see Houston, under the
influence of the Morgan-Cave contract'
immediately rise to wealth and import-
ance. "But it is not yet completed,"
faid the reporter. " I grant you," said
Mr. Shearn ; " but there is another cause
that will give Houston prosperity, even
before the completion of the channel."
Ah," said the reporter, " I confess this
is all new to me." " It is nothing strange
to which I allude," was the answer.
There is a movement on foot to get
through from Houston to New York,
by rail, cotton at five dollars per
bale. Should this combination become a
fact, it will seriously threaten to damage
the commerce of Galveston." " How is
this to benefit Houston 1" was the next
question. " In this way," replied Presi-
dent Siiearn : " It will make it to the in-
terest of the Galveston and New York
ono lines to pro rate with my own line,
the Direct Navigation Company, thereby-
securing through rates by water to Hous-
ton, escaping the charges of the Galves-
ton Wharf Company, and thns
becoming able to compete with
the railways." " Very well, I
see the point; please go on," said the re-
porter. " Well," answered Mr. Shearn,
suppose the Mallory line pro rates with
me'i" "Suppose it does," replied Mr.
Reporter, " how is this to benefit Hous-
ton '!" " I will tell you," was the re-
sponse. " To get clear of the GalveBton
wharf charges, it will become the inter-
est of the producer, the shipper, the
ocean carrier, and all concerned, to ship
cotton direct from Houston. From here
it can be carried on board my
steamers and barges, and placed
on the deck of the vessel
in Bolivar Roads without ever touching
the Galveston wliatf, thus saving the
wharf dues. Don't you see this at once
makes Houston the most eligible ship
ping point for cotton 'I" The re
porter, however, thought of the immense
capital for handling the cotton of the
State, and smiled incredulously on the
President of the Houston Direct Naviga-
tion Company.
Some venturesome footpad and thief,
on Wednesday night, entered the resi-
dence of Dr. McDonald, on Congress
street, and went through the Doctor's
book-case and bureau, but without taking
anything, evidently having but little use
for the physician's medical works. The
burglar left three burnt matches on
table before leaving.
A railroad engineer, from Illinois, now
in the city, has a double thumb on the
right hand, the dividing point being the
joint—the outer thumb lapping over the
inner one. Both thumbs are less than
the size of the one on the left hand.
The well-known car, " Galveston," has
been re painted, repaired and attached to

The United States Commissioner has
been running his court of inquiry for sev-
eral days. Not a few Houston dealers
were bound over to the Federal Court for
selling liquor without license.
Three insurance agents were arrested
and brought before the Recorder yestei-
day, charged with non-payment of li-
cense. The agent of the St. Louis com
pany stated it had done no new business
here since January, and had withdrawn
from the entire South.
An insane white woman, from Brazo-
ria county, was locked up in the city
prison Monday'night, being en route to
Austin.
An amusing case came up before the
Recorder yesterday. It seems that a
woodcutter, residing some ten miles in
the country, got intoxicated in town, and
riding out in the Fifth Ward, overtook
Alderman McDonough on the road and
made a drunken assult upon the Alder-
man. A police oflicer coming up arrested
the assailant. After the arrest the quar-
rel was recommenced, and the Alderman
and his antagonist clinched, the Council-
man giving the woodcutter, whose name
was Little, as good as he could send.
Little was fined $5 and costs for the al
dermanic assault.
In the Criminal Court yesterday, A. B.
Hall, ex-Sheriff of Harris county, was
held to bail in the sum of $3500 to an-
swer two fresh indictments by the Grand
Jury now in session. The first of these
indictments charges Hall with the em-
bezzlement of and failure to account for
$10,000 of State taxes. The other charges
him with embezzling $00 of county
taxes.
H. C. Ring (not King, as erroneously
spelled in the dispatch on Wednesday
night,) who goes up seven years for
being partireps criminU in the robbery
of Highland, is understood to be respect-
ably connected North, whence he came.
The Ship Channel dredge-boats are at
present at work in the bayou, foot of
Main street.
The canvass against the election on
the Narrow Guago business, September
10, promises to be spirited. The people
are beginning to inquire whether the
proposed issue of $100,000 to the road in
bonds will be a paying investment.
In the Ring case, on Wednesday, the
speeches of Criminal District Attorney
Spencer and Major Crank—the latter for
the prisoner—were highly spoken of.
In the District Court, yesterday, the
case of McDonougli va. First National
Bank of Houston was continued. The
following judgments were rendered:
Marx & Kempner vs. T. Lamoth, $122 27 ;
A. Harris & Fox vs. A. Robiuson, $4G4 19 ;
Jeffrey vs. Edgar, $272 37.
The case of Berghman vs. Houston and
Texas Central Rail way, claiming damages
for loss of hia arm in coupling a car at
the Central Depot last year, was on trial.
Berghman was put upon the stand and
gave his version of the accident, Btating
he had previously been baggage master
of the company.
Texas Be head of Immigration", )
Office, 401 Walnut st.. V
St. Lone. Mo.. August 9, 1871. i
Eds. News—I opened this office only
ten days ago : but I have seen enough to
convince me that, with a moderate appro-
priation by the Legislature, a hearty sup-
port from the press and our people,
the Bureau of Immigration will be able
to add five hundred thousand to our
population and many millions to our tax-
able wealth. Notwithstanding all that
has been said and written, there is almost
utter ignorance concerning our State, and
yet there is a great desire to learn all
about it, our mild climate, apparently,
being its chief attraction.
In order to make the Bureau really ef-
fective, our people at home must furnish
information. At each county or section,
have a well written description pub
lished in its local paper ; and, while the
types are up, have ten thousand slips
struck off and give thenj to the Bureau
for distribution. These slips can be
cheaply printed, are easily handled and
take less postage than any other form of
printing. I shall distribute fairly all that
is sent to me, and if any section neglects
to send anything, it will be their fault,
not mine.
There is one very important matter I
wish to lay before the people of Texas.
There is in this city an institution known
as the " German Emigrant Association,"
whose business seems to be to receive
German Emigrants from Europe, procure
them situations if possible, and when ab-
solutely destitute, give them board and
lodging for three days. There is now
(and I am told there is rarely ever less)
about three hundred of these people.
Most of them are out of money, and so
difficult is it to get work, that it is nearly
impossible for them to get enough
ahead to pay their fare to Texas. They
are not paupers ; neither are they dissi
pated, sick, old or infirm : they are what
I should call the bone and
sinew of Texas were they there.
Just such laborers as our farmers
could put to best account—hard-working,
reliable men. Many of them have been
out into the country helping to harvest
the wheat crop of this section, and have
returned with good certificates from their
employers. Most of them are laborers,
some are mechanics, some gardeners, and
there are a good many strong, healthy
servant girls among them, such as our
TexaB housewives greatly need to make
them independent of our worthless ne-
groes.
Now, if any arrangement, either by
local societies or individuals, can be made
to pay the passage of these people. I can
foiward any number, and they will work
out the sum advanced at f.ny reasonable
or unreasonable wages. Their great de-
sire is to get to the mild climate of Tex-
as and get a situation before the cold
weather sets in in this country. They
need help as did the people who firat set-
tled New Braunfels, Industry, Freder-
ichsburg, Castroville and other places in
Texas, and if helped, will shortly become
as prosperous and make good producing
citizens.
I would suggest that each county or
section form local immigrant societies,
each member paying in, say five or ten
dollars per annum. As soon as $500 or
$1000 is in hand, they can take orders
from the people of their section for any
class of labor, send them to the Bureau
of Immigration here, and within three
days, to most parts of the State, the labor
will be upon the ground and ready to
work. I believe it would be greatly to
the interest of all our farmers to prepare
themselves with this kind of labor, in
time to prepare for the next crop.
One need but look at the fields worked
by white men and negroes, along the
railroad ftom Houston to Luling, to be
convinced of tliiB. Some of the finest
cotton lands I ever, saw along the San
Marcos Valley are literally overrun with
weeds, while the lazy negroes were met
every now and then riding round the
country ou horseback. Let us arrange to
do without tlum.
In view of the large cotton crop that is
to be picked out, possibly some of our
planters may need this kind of labor at
once. If they, or any party in Texas, will
send me the money for their passage,
with a description of what tliej need, I
will use my best judgment in making the
selections. I have been able to make
special rates with both lines of roads.
The passage now is, to parties holding a
certificate from any agent of this bureau,
on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Rail-
road and the Texas Central Railway, one
and three-fourths cents per mile, with
200 pounds of baggage. Children from
five to twelve half price; under five free.
This will make it from St. Louis to Deni-
son $10 90, Dallas, $11 45; Waco, $15 10;
Houston, $1G 18; Austin, $17 85; Galves-
ton, $17 67. On the Great Northern and
International Railroad the passage is
now from St. Louis to Hearne or Rock-
dale $14. To Houston $15 50, with the
same amount of baggage and conditions
as to age, and certificate from the bureau.
Parties sending had better add one or
two dollars, as some of them may need
assistance in getting their baggage to
the depot, etc. I can, in all cases, when
requested, take checks for their baggage
and send it to the party giving the
order—it will be that much security,
though from the looks of the people I do
not believe any is necessary. With all
these people at our very door, why
should we maintain an idle, worthless
class that are willing to do nothing but
eat up our substance and do our voting.
Very respectfully,
W. G. Kingsbury,
Agent Bureau of Immigration for Texas,
404 Walnut street, St. Louis, Mo.
Past Trotting.
The wonderful feat of Goldsmith
Maid on the Buffalo track yesterday,
in trotting a mile in two miuutes and
fifteen and a half seconds, fully es-
tablishes her claim to the title of
Queen of the Turf. This is probably
the fastest time ever made by auy trot-
ter, as it certainly is the fastest time
ever recorded. Two years ago, when
this mare made some very fast time on
a Western track, the veracity of the
judges was at first questioned, as no
one believed she was able to perform
such a feat. The matter was discussed
for weeks in all the sporting journals.
A delegation was sent to measure the
track and ascertain whether it was a
full mile, and to take the statements
of witnesses, to ascertain whether the
mare kept to the track during the
race. The question was never well
settled, but yesterday's performance
is evidence more than sufficient to clear
away all doubts. The splendid feat
was witnessed, we are told, by about
20,000 spectators.—JV. T. World, 8th.

Foreign Note*.
On the fifty-eighth anniversary of
the battle of Waterloo, 'which occurred
on June 18, there were living fifty-nine
men who were commissioned officers
under Wellington in that battle.
Last year 10,230 persons visited the
house in which Shakespeare was born.
General Morin has just exhibited be-
fore the French Academy a bottle con-
taining eight kilogrammes of osmium,
the most poisonous metal known.
"This is enough," he exclaimed, "to
poison the universe, as one milligramme
of osmium diffused through one liun-
red cubic metres of air renders it ir-
respirable." We really feel very un-
comfortable, and should like to know
what the General intends doing with
that bottle.
In a letter on Consular Powers in the
Levant, the Constantinople correspond-
ent of the Swiss Times describes the
disadvantage of the present system of
special tribunals for foreigners. The
Khedive, however, is, he says, willing
and anxious to institute courts of
justice in Egypt which will satisfy the
governments of Europe, and there is
little doubt that they will soon be in-
troduced. It is difficult to say how
long it will be before Turkey will fol-
low the example.
One of the late greatest pipe-fan-
ciers in the world, Major General Raf-
falovich, of the Russian army, is now
in the country. He lias a collection
of more than six hundred pipes.
It has been determined to restore the
old Salle du Conseil in the Stadthaus
at Zug, which has been unused since
the crection of the new Hotel de Ville.
The salle is decorated with wood
panelings and framework, the precise
age of which is not known, but which
are regarded as the best specimens of
this description of work existing in
Switzerland. They are enriclted with
intricate traceries of plants and birds
—the wood used is from the lime tree
—and in addition to the panelings
there are six oval compartments above
the windows, the ceiling also being
finished in the same style. The carv-
ings are relieved by a colored ground,
and betray the work of a master hand
in the richness and variety of their de-
signs. When the salle is restored, it is
intended to set it apart for the pur-
poses of a museum.
The judicial investigation into the
assassination of Marshal Prim has re-
sulted in the indictment of fifty more
persons.
The first contested elections in
Canada, under the system of voting by
ballot, took place recently. Mc-
Dougall was elected to Parliament for
East Elgin, Ontario, and Coupal for
Napiersville, Quebec. They are both
supporters of the government.

The War Department of Great

new invention for steering balloons.
The new apparatus consists of a sys-
tem of screw propellers attached "to
