The Houston Telegram is gratified to
see the interest in the coming State
Fair at that city, which is manifested
by Kansas City, Missouri, and remarks:
If the live citizens of one of the
most stirring towns in the West are so
much interested iti presenting them-
selves attractively to us, so much the
more should we exert ourselves to give
them reason to manifest this interest.
Let us show them how well worth their
attention Texas is, and prove to them
and to all comers that our people are as
large-minded, liberal, enterprising and
comprehensive in their business views
as their State is rich in resources and
grand in material and political power.
A correspondent makes an able con-
tribution to the Longview New Era on
t 'te importance of skilled labor and the
respect due to intelligent mechanics and
handicraftsmen. Such men always
command due respect. They consti-
tute a large proportion of the leading
men of the country, and only need to
respect themselves and their calling in
order to command the respect of all
others whose good opinion is worth de-
siring.
A writer in the Tyler Conner places
all the blame on the Comptroller for
the tax on farm products in the hands
of the producer, and says the construc-
tion which renders them liable to taxa-
tion applies as well to the clothing
worn by a family; that under the ruling
of the Comptroller, a "man and his
family in cities and towns may be
clothed in 'purple and fine linen and
fare sumptuously every day,' and go
free of this tax," while the farmer is
made to pay on the provisions produced
by his own labor for the support of his
family. He quotes from all tlie old
constitutions of Texas to show that
there is no more authority for imposing
this tax now than in former years,when
it was not exacted.
The Madison Plaindealer states that
Messrs. Randolph and Grace, attorneys
for the opposers of local option in Mad-
ison county, applied to to the District
Judge for a writ of injunction to re-
strain the county authorities from the
enforcement of the law, but the court
would not grant it, believing that it was
a local matter, and should be disposed
of by the people of the county, they be-
ing the only parties directly interested
in its enforcement or rejection. The
Plaindealer anticipates great good from
the enforcement of the law and thinks
the people will never recede from their
expressed will in opposition to drink-
ing saloons.
A writer, in the Henderson Times, on
the trad® of Henderson, says:
Our Gulf supplies of course will
come by the International from Galves-
ton, and our cotton will follow the best
market and cheapest freight. Our mer-
chants must combine readily and bring
in supplies by the car load. That is,
if one does not desire as much as a car
load of a particular article, to unite
with his neighbor. This will enable
them to supply consumers as cheap as
they could get them in St. Louis or Gal-
veston with freight on small lots added.
The lumber question is important. The
enormous and increasing demands of
Western Texas will soon exhaust tlie
pineries north of Henderson. South of
this town are extensive forests of as
good pine as there is in the world, the
lumber from which will soon begin to
pass to the west over the Henderson and
Overton Railroad.
The Henderson Time* remarks:
The Panola Watchman and many of
the prominent citizens in this section
are suggesting the name of Col. James
H. Jones of this place, for our next
Governor, or as Judge Reagan's suc-
cessor in Congress. As it will be some
time before we will be called upon to
make a selection, we regard the sugges-
tions at this time as rather premature,
yet if he is or should ever be an as-
pirant to any office in the hands of tlie
people of Texas, there is not a mr.n in
the limits of this rising Empire State
who could receive the support of the
Times in preference to Col. Jones.
The race is rather too far off to put
the coursers in active training for some
time to come. Still, tlie practice of de-
claring nominations and putting up
forfeit a long while in advance of the
meeting is not unknown among turf-
men.
The Panola Watchman says:
Dick Hubbard has done more for the
Democratic party and the State than anv
other one man in Texas. For twenty-two
years he has ably fought the battles of
the party without money and without
price. When the Watchman editor first
knew him, twenty-two years ago, he
was a rich man; the larger portion of
his fortune was spent in the interest of
his party; and what have the people
done for him in return? Simply noth
ing, except to elect him Lieutenant
Governor.
This is a somewhat novel argument,
and not very clear. Gov. Hubbard now
enjoys the highest office in the State,
and is deservedly popular.
The Rusk county Observer never fails
to give enterprising inventors a suita-
ble notice. It says:
Another fool is reported who thinks
he has discovered perpetual motion.
He lives in Camp county.
The Observer, referring to the bold-
ness with which thieves and robbers
operate, and the facility with which
they too often escape, calls for a well-
trained pack of negro dogs in each
county in the State, and an organized
company of men to follow tlie dogs
whenever needed. This policy was re
commended by Gen. Taylor in dealing
with the Florida Indians. He only
wanted the dogs to find, not to worry
the savages.
The Observer ridicules tlie idea of
Galveston figs being as large as the
eggs of barnyard fowl. Some of them
grow much larger.
The Limestone New Era thus hails
the rising and bows to the setting sua:
The Galveston News acknowledges
the receipt of the prospectus of tlie
llisimj Sun, a new paper to be published
at Groesbeeck by Mr. C. II. Ilanson.
We have no ill-will to offer any one
who desires to try the experiment of
publishing another newspaper at this
place, but will simply give it as our
opinion that if Mr. Hanson has not got
a very weighty j>urse his Hising Hun
So
on a country paper? Ilanson is not
that sort of a mnn. He gives hi3 time,
brain, and labor to the enterprise, and
his sud, like that which shines on the
dominions of Queen Victoria, or like
some famous layers among domestic
fowls, never sets. Sitting Bull may
succumb, but Charley is always on his
feet, and if not on the spot, "there
abouts," as Noah was at the building of
the aik. Foster must not be jealous,
but rather foster the new-comer, who
comes as a co laborer, not a rival. The
growl with which the village editor
greets a new-comer is calculated to re-
mind one of the lines of the poet:
So have I heard, on Afric's burning sliore,
An awful lion Rive an awful roar;
So have I heard, on Afric's burning shore,
Another lion give an awful roar—
And the first lion thought the last a bore.

RAILROAD NEWS,
Jefferson Jimplecute: We have esti-
mated the gross earnings of the East
Line road for the first year after its
completion—say to McKinney—at tlie
sum of f:500,000. A railroad "from Jef-
ferson by Pittsburg, Sulphur Springs
and Greenville to McKinney will take
to market the cotton grown in the fol-
lowing named counties, viz.: Camp,
Morris, Titus, Franklin, Hopkins,
Hunt, Delta, and parts of Collin, Wood,
Rains, Cass, Upshur and Fannin. In
these counties, tributary to the line of
such a road, there is now produced at
least 75,000 bales a year. Any one can
see that all of this cotton would take
this line, upon an average freight of $2
per bale, and so of the immense quanti-
ties of wheat and live stock, in tlie
prairie counties, and lumber and other
material in the timber regions. The
gross earnings of the International and
Great Northern road last year were
$1,400 000-. The length of that road
is about four hundred and fifty
miles—about three times the length of
the road from Jefferson to McKinney—
but it traverses vast sections not half
so prolific as the country through
which the East Line passes. The road
will be finished to Dangerfield by July.
To finish it thence to Pittsburg will re-
quire $100,000. Completed to Pitts-
burg, it will build itself onward by its
own credit and earnings. The space
betweenDanperfield and Pittsburg is the
chasm of difficulty. A subscription of
the stock, of twenty thousand dollars
in Camp and twentv-fivc thousand each
in Hopkins and Hunt, and thirty thou-
sand in Collin, would carry the road to
Pittsburg without any indebtedness,
bridge over the chasm and place it in
condition to march forward to Mc-
Kinney.
Denton Monitor : Col. Henderson, of
tha Dallas and Wichita, was in the city
Sunday last. He has two hundred and
fifty men working on tlie road between
Denton and Lewiaville. The track will
be laid to Elm river by next Monday
evening, and the cars will undoubtedly
reai h Denton by the middle of June.
New Era: The citizens of Long
view met at the court-house on Wedne:-
dny evening in the interest of the Long-
view, Carthage and Sabine Valley Rail-
way. The meeting was organized with
Mayor Jennings in the chair; and after
speeches from the Messrs. Earner Bros ,
a committee was appointed to solicit
subscriptions to the stock.
Henderson and Overton Branch
Railroad.
Henderson, April 18,1877.
Eds. News—Common justice to the
parties interested demands a reply to
the charge which has found publication
in Galveston, that the Henderson and
Overton Railroad Company contem-
plates a "land grab," based on a road
laid with condemned, cast aside and
worthless iron. I have passed over the
completed scction of the line, and affirm
that it is a very substantial and well-
built road, and, so far as I am capable
of judging, fully up to the Texas rail-
road law. The train passed over the
track with the usual speed on newly
constructed roads; the bridges were sub-
stantial and steady under a train of six
car-loads of railway iron. The road is
being built under contract with the
company. Gen. Flanagan is a director
in the company, of energy and value,
and exercises in its affairs only the
powers of each of his co-directors.
The iron laid caa be safely stated to
weigh on an average more than forty-
five pounds to the lineal yard, when
the State land subsidy requires only
thirty. Good judges have pronounced
the iron used good English iron, and
now equal in durability to the Ameri-
can iron used on Texas roads, and so it
seems to me from its appearance. It is
what is termed the chair and spike iron,
and was removed from the road on
which it was first laid (as I am informed),
to be replaced by fish bar rails, for the
purpose of giving greater speed to the
cars from connecting lines with the
same description of iron. The cash
paid out by the contractors for the iron,
is a contradiction of the allegation that
it was thrown aside as worthless;
that can not be misunderstood. The
owners of this road reside in Hender-
son and vicinity, also the contractors,
except one, who resides in Memphis,
Tenn.; they are all substantial men of
means and business qualifications. The
cash is being paid for its construction
as a legitimate investment for profit.
In a few days it will be completed, with
no mortgage bonds, or other incum
brances resting on it. To pay out a
large sum of money greatly in excess
of the value of the land subsidy from
the State,would indeed constitute a very
unprofitable and stupid "land grab,"
and one which the H. and O. R. R. Co.
has no fancy for. The company calls the
attention of the Governor to the con
struction of this road, that he may with
his own eyes see that in its build
ing the company has gone further than
what is required by the State.
A city deeply interested as Galveston
is in the success of the road in ques-
tion, as a valuable feeder to its corn-
commerce, commanding, as it will, a
valuable trade that now goes off to Red
river, it is confidently believed indulges
not the least sympathy with the attack
referred to. W. W. Morris,
President H. and O. B. R. R. (Jo.
Eds. News—Having read the article
complained of in communication in
your evening edition of this date, will
staie that this iron was sold by the G .
II. and II. It. R. to the Henderson and
Overton road, and is what is called
chair iron; has been in use sometime,
but is o!' much better material than now
used, and will, m my judgment, last as
long as most new iron rail that is now
being placed in track in Texas.

The Albany Evening Journal (ex
treme Republican) gives the colored
voters of the South some good advice,
and then concludes with the following
very correct observations: "We can
not be worse off with the experiment,
and we may be much better off. Let
us gi ve the South home rule. Let us
permit intelligence and property to have
then natural sway. Let us not force
ignorance and incapacity to the top.
Let us have the Federal government
represented by honorable and high-
minded men. We have placed the
blacks on their feet and given them
full political rights. Let us teach
them that they can not always depend
on the Federal arm, but must depend
upon themselves. Let 113 seek espe-
cially to relieve the South from con-
stant turmoil, and open the path to
higher material prosperity. The forces
which, by a different course have been
consolidated against us, will in this
way sooner or later be dissolved."
COMMERCIAL.
NEWS OFFICE, I
Monday Evening, April S3, 1877.1
Trade lacks animation, and business was
dull to-day, with very few buyers operating.
The latter is an invariable feature on Mon-
days.
In values of provisions no change of interest
has occurred. Bacon is slow sale.
Sugars are firmer, with, however, but a
limited local demand.
Hides are higher and receipts are light.
Speculators have been traveling through the
country and putting up bargains during the
depression.
Wool is steady. The receipts are still
small. About ten thousand pounds sold to.
day, but the extreme quotation of 24c. was
not reached in any instance. A fine twelve-
months* growth clip would readily command
that figure, if light, clean and entirely free
of burs.
Gold advanced in New York to-day to 107^3,
at which figure it closed. The opening rate
w-s 107%. The closing figure on Saturday
was 107.
The New York Shipping List of the 18th
says:
Manufacturers continue t© pursue the hand-
to-mouth policy, and offers that would in or-
dinary times find quick takers, at present are
passed by without notice. Prices can not be
quoted lower, but they may in truth be writ-
ten entirely nominal. The London system of
offering wools at auction was first introduced
in San Francisco yesterday.
The result of the sales had not been made
known here up to a late hour, but the opinion
of dealers here is that the system will not
work in this conntry, for various reasons.
Prices of Texas wool are still nominal, as
buyers contiuue to exhibit a disposition to
press sales; the sales are 20 bags low scoured
at 42 cents; and 3000 lb. fine Eastern, and 30,-
000 fi>. Western, on terms reserved.
THE MANCHESTER MARKET.
A dispatch to the Cotton Record, of New
York, dated Manchester, April 17th, says:
Yarns and fabrics are weak and declining;
tlie former are offered at concessions J4d. and
the latter at %d. per piece. Manufacturers
find great difficulty in obtaining contracts. T
cloth neglected, Mexicans steady and domes-
tics easier. Liverpool closes quiet, with less
anxiety, but the tone is unsettled, as large
failures are feared.
RA.MPANT SPECULATION AND LEGITI-
MATE BUSINESS.
Numerous ingenious and plausible articles
have from time to time appeared in the news-
papers since the beginning of the commer-
cial revulsion in 1873, either showing that a
marked reaction in trade had already set in
or was about to set in: and when the predic-
tions have been falsified by events, a great
fertility of resources has been drawn upon
to explain the reason why. Too many people,
we suspect, do not realize the difference be-
tween rampant speculation and legitimate
business.
Credit is now given with great caution, and
speculation is a luxury in which only the
wealthy can engage. The business of this
country is now upon a legitimate basis, and
will increase as the necessities of the people
increase. We have a population of forty
millions, who are better housed, clothed and
fed than any other people; and to keep them
so must give ample employment to all who
are able and willing to work; but to get work
the unemployed must look for it, and not wait
for it to come to them.
The soil and the sea aTe the sources of all
wealth. Buying and selling stocks do not
make wealth; those who deal in them only
change one piece of paper for another;
whereas the husbandman produces the neces-
saries of life, and in doing so lives himself
and feeds those who house and clothe him.

The Liverpo ">1 spot market ruled steady at

ing 4300'American and 10C0 for export and
speculation. The imports were 5900 bales, all
from America. The market for arrivaU
opened very tlat and 1-32 lower; ruled easier,
but not quotably iower, and closed flat.
The New York spot market opened quiet,
declined % during the day, and closed quiet
with sales of 887 bales, principally to export-
ers. Futures opened weak and closed heavy,
with sales of 50,300 bales at a decline as com-
pared with last Saturday's closing prices.
The New Orleans market closed dull and
easy at unchanged prices, with sales of only
"00 bales.
The net receipts at the outports for the day
aggrpgated 60H3 bales, against 4974 for last
Monday, and 8240 for the corresponding period
last season. The stock at all United States
ports, as made up this evening, is 582,773 bales,
against 548,478 for the same day last year.
In this market sales of 45S bales were re-
norted, including 308 taken after 'change Sat-
urday. The Exchange made no alteration in
prices, and bulletined the market as closing

Dr. Mclienek'8 standard.Remedies
—The standard remedies for all diseases of
the lungs are Schenck's Ptlmoinc Syrup,
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic, and Schenck's
Mandrake Pills, and if taken before the lungs
are destroyed, a speedy cure is effected.
To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Schenck,
of Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success
in the treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid mat
ter in the lungs; nature throws it off by an
easy expectoration, for when the phlegm or
matter is ripe a slight cough will throw it off,
tlie patient has rest and the lungs begin to
heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this,
Schenck's Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea
Weed Tonic must be freely used to cleanse the
stomach and liver. Schenck's Mandrake Pills
act on the liver, removing all obstructions,
relax the gall bladder, the bile starts freely,
and the liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimu-
lant and alterative; the alkali of which it is
composed mixes with the food and prevents
souring. It assists the digestion by toning up
the stomach ta a healthy condition, so that
the food and the Pulmonic Syrup will make
good blood; then the lungs heal, and the pa-
tient will surely get well if care is taken to
prevent fresh cold.
AH who wish to consult Dr. Schenck, either
personally or by letter, can do so at his prin-
cipal office, corner of Sixth and Arch streets,
Philadelphia, every Monday.
Schenck's medicines are sold by all druggists
throughout t,hf> conntry. mh6 t.h sa tu
