Dritmo yesterday there were signs
of gradual improvement in the condi-
tion of Mr. Richardson, and this was
the tenor of the latest report from his
sick bed this morning.
The pecuniary losses of the South
by the war are pretty accurately shown
by the diminished assessments of per-
sonal property in the Southern States
in 1870 us compared with the value in
1860. Alabama, with two hundred and
seventy-seven millions of personal es-
tate in 1860, returned but thirty-eight
millions in 1870—a decrease of two
hundred and thirty-nine millions. Ar-
kansas fell from one hundred and six-
teen to thirty-one millions. Mississip-
pi returned three hundred and fifty-one
millions in 1800 against only fifty-nine
in 1870—a decrease of two hundred
and ninety-two millions; and South
Carolina returned three hundred and
fifty-nine millions in 1800, and sixty-
four millions in 1870, being a loss of
two hundred and ninety-five millions.
Taking all the Southern States to-
gether the value of personal property
fell from $G, 740,000,000 in 1800, to
$5,400,002,000 in 1870, a loss of
twelve hundred and eighty-four mil-
lions. Of course four million slaves
are included in this loss; but they
were not valued at one-third of the
total loss in personal property.
The Pioche Record has a description
of the mines in Southern Utah. Some
six districts are described. Besides
the gold, silver and lead of that re-
gion, reference is made to the coal and
iron which abound there. The show-
ing is grand. The same paper men-
tions a letter describing a placer range
and some ledges situated on the bor-
ders of Arizona and Sonora. The
placer mines are pictured as being
several square miles in extent, while
the main ledge is described as
as much larger and richer than the
Comstock as the Comstock is larger
and richer than the North Carson.
This property lies idle because of the
fear which the Mexicans entertain of
the Arizona Apaches.
Mit. John Eaton, Commissioner of
the National Bureau of Education, in
a paper read before the University con-
vocation, in Albany, has endeavored
to avail himself of the influence of his
office in a way calculated to silence ob-
jection to the establishment by Con-
gress of a Department of Education.
Jte represents that his reports are the
only sources of information in regard
to the general condition of education
in this country which are either gener-
ally accessible or of much value. He
admits that the work of his bureau is
still very little advanced toward the
aims which the Commissioner cher-
ishes, but contends that it has already
vindicated the wisdom of its establish-
ment by its results.
Tiie Baltimore American is appre-
hensive that the taxation on the prop-
erty holders of the city will seriously
interfere with its commercial pros-
perity. It has become a common saying
there that "nobody can afford to own
a dwelling house," and the American
fears that " there will be a tremendous
exodus of the wealthy classes to the
suburban towns." The American sees
no immediate prospect o 1 any improve-
ment in the local government or in
the management of the city's affairs
and finances.
Most of the Connecticut journals say
that the attempt of the liquor dealers
to secure the repeal of the present
license law will be a completa failure.
AN ECONOMICAL JUDICIARY.
We conclude to-day the publica-
tion of a series of communicated arti-
cles, signed " Publius," on the "Sala-
ries of Judges." They are from a le-
gal gentleman of ability, of extensive
reading and of breadth of thought,
who has evidently given to the subject
much study and reflection. His last
article submits specific recommenda-
tions with regard to salaries. He
would have our Supreme Judges paid
not less than $5000 a year, and our
District Judges not less than $3500 a
year; and he shows that, with the
number of judges reduced as he pro-
poses, the State would be at considera-
bly less expense on account of the sal-
aries of judges than she is at present.
But the saving in this one particular is
a secondary consideration, when we
remember of what vast importance it
is to the most precious interests of so-
ciety that there should exist a ca-
pable, incorruptible, and thoroughly
efficient judiciary. A multitude
of judges, mentally or morally infirm,
even at the most beggarly salaries,
would be a ruinous extravagance. The
best judges are the cheapest, whatever
they may cast, Cheap judges, on the
rule of paying the lowest price for an
inferior article, mean impunity to
crime, encouragement to fraud, disre-
spect for the laws, invitation to vio-
lence and disorder, insecurity of person
and property. The cost of such a ji-
diciary is beyond calculation, for it in-
volves the more or less rapid extinc-
tion of all public and private values.
In this country the judicial func-
tion has been the subject of too little
concern. The best code «f laws is
worth little or nothing without a com-
petent judiciary to expound, vindicate
and enforce it. Righteous judgmert
is the complement of every wise pro-
vision in the statutory or the organic
law. The law courts of the land must
be majestic in uprightness, fearless-
ness and vigor, or the majesty of the
law will be an idiotic pomp of speed,
signifying nothing.
No public functionary ought to be
more dear to the people at large than
the just and strong judge. As indi-
viduals they can not, like the great
and wealthy incorporated companies,
retain at princely prices the ablest
talent in the practice of law. But he,
the just and strong judge, as Publius
formerly remarked, is the poor maa's
lawyer. He will not allow the wrotg,
through sheer preponderance of money
and of legal ingenuity, to triumph
over the right. Nor will he
apply, in the interpretation of
the constitution, an eclectic method
which would dismiss certain guaran-
tees of fundamental rights as lifeless
abstractions, when opposed to stretches
of legislative authority in favor of rich
and arrogant corporations. A judi-
ciary made up of such judges would
be the sleepless defender of the rights
of all, high and low, poor and rich.
The organ of even and exact justice, the
moral sensorium of the civil structure,
it would be supremely absurd to say
that such an indispensable element of
healthy and beneficent government is
not worth its necessary cost. How-
ever costly in money, it would surely •
be the most economical in effect. On
the other hand, nothing is so extrava-
gant as cheap unfitness and inefficiency
in any department of government.
For the people, in the madness of a
false economy, to elect this kind of
cheapness for the whole government
would be nothing short of popular
suicide.
New Enolanders still use paupers
as shuttle-cocks. An old case has
just been tried at Norwich, Conn.
The town of Preston asserted that the
authorities of East Iladdam persuaded
a Preston pauper, forty-five years old,
to marry an East Iladdam pauper,
sixty-seven years old, in order that
East Iladdam might be relieved of the
expense of caring for her. The East
Iladdam authorities declare it was
purely a love match, though the fact
that the two separated on the day of
their marriage, and have not lived to-
gether since, does not sustain that view
of the subject. New England inge-
nuity has been no where more obvious
than in smart dodges to evade the sup-
port of the law.
John Burnsibe, Esq., of New Or-
leans, it is stated by the Picayune, has
subscribed the magnificent sum -of
$20,000 to the Texas Railroad. This
looks like business, and a few more
such examples well followed will give
to the people of that city direct com-
munication by rail with the Lone Star
State. Mr. Burnside is a very wealthy
citizen, and is quite able to subscribe
the amount stated. What is termed
the Texas Railroad will run through
the valley of Red River, having its ter-
minus either at Shreveport, La., or
Marshall, Texas. ' The Houston con-
nection, it appears, has been aban
doned by the people of New Orleans.
Yankee ingenuity has never been
equal to the manufacture of fire crack-
ers, which are still imported exclusive-
ly from China and Japan; but there
are enough little boys and girls made
in this country to blow off three hun-
dred thousand boxes of them this
year. One hundred thousand more
boxes have been imported this year
than last, the increase doubtless being
caused by the centennial fervor, as
well as by the ordinary additions to
the juvenile population*.
A vessel containing the first install-
ment of the name of Count Von Hoy-
osprintzenstetner, the new Austrian
minister, has arrived in New York.
The Chicago Times says that his Ex-
cellency has taken the precaution to
send a portion of his name on in ad-
vance. The remainder is expected by
the Cunard line next week.
HOLDING ON FOR PRICES.
It is related by the Irwinton (Ga.)
Southerner of a Mr. C. C. Smith, of
that county, that he has now on hand
a bale of cotton made during the war,
for which he was offered in May, 1865,
44 cents per pound, but thinking it less
than its value, refused to sell. Cotton
took a downward turn about that time,
and has been falling ever since, and he
has held this cotton expecting at some
time to get at least his first offer for
it. "Let us see," says the Southerner,
"what he has lost by holding it until
now. Five hundred pounds of cotton
at 44 cents would net $220; interest on
this amount for ten years at seven per
cent., would make the sum of" $154;
add this to the $220 and he would
have $374. The present price of low
middling cotton in this market is 14
cents, and 500 pounds of cotton would
bring $70. Deduct this amount from
$374 and it would make his loss on
one bale of cotton at $304. This is
the strongest argument we ever heard
advanced against farmers holding on
for a better price."
The "holdon" part of the above in-
cident is very good, but the extent of
the proceeding fails to come up with
a transaction which formerly came
to the knowledge of the writer.
Shortly after the surrender, a drug
firm doing business in a certain town
on Red River had on hand five hun-
dred bales of cotton, which had been
put away by the concern during the
progress of the war to provide against
a rainy day. The cotton was shipped
to New Orleans. In the month of
August, 1865, a telegram was received
by the principal of the drug house
from his factor in New Orleans, stat-
ing- that an offer of forty-seven cents
all around had been made for the cot-
ton, and asking whether he had not
better let "it go at that figure. Tbe
drug merchant scoffed at the idea of
such a thing, and gave orders to hold
on for a dollar a pound. The instruc-
tions were complied with, the cotton
was held a year, was afterwards shipped
to Liverpool by its owners, and finally
sold in the Liverpool market—about
two years after forty-seven cents per
pound had been offered for it in New
Orleans—at eight pence per pound, or
about sixteen cents, gold. The New
Orleans offer in August, 1865, would
have netted the firm something over
one hundred and seventeen thousand
dollars; the Liverpool sale, deducting
loss in weights, shipment and hand-
ling, realized them something short of
thirty thousand dollars! It was almost
a total loss, for the use of one hundred
and seventeen thousand dollars for two
years in business those days would
have yielded as much as was received
for the cotton upon its final sale in the
Liverpool market. The firm alluded
to for several years afterward carried
on an extensive and successful drug
business in New Orleans; but it is safe
to assert that if cotton during that
period was ever taken by the house in
exchange for its commodities, they
had none that they valued at a dol-
lar a pound, nor such as was fit for
the Liverpool market. If there is a
moral in all of this, sensible readers
will not fail to apply it. It is every
word true.
A Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Times asserts that the devel-
opments in the Avery case have called
attention to the possibilities of illicit
gains in the numerous subordinate
offices of the government. A govern-
ment Official who holds a position
where he comes into possession of in-
formation, is daily besought by the
most seductive bribes to sell the in-
formation, and become the paid ser-
vant of some ring. ^ former secretary
of a man who was once a high official
in the Treasury, informed the Times
correspondent that, although the sala-
ry of his position was a small one, he
was constantly shadowed and tempted
with offers of large amounts of money.
The agents of Wall street think noth-
ing of paying from $5000 to $10,000
for information of a financial nature
that will enable them to forestall some
movement on the street. These offices
of trust in the department are many,
and as the average of them are almost
irresponsible in their management, it
is a wonder that more clerks da not
succumb. The examples of those
above them teach them nothing in the
way of virtuous resistance, and the
bribes daily offered are of too tempting
a nature to be continually rejected.
The final deposit of $1000 for the
swimming match for $2000 and "the
championship of the world," between
J. B. Johnson, of New York, and
Thomas Coyle, of Chester, Pa., was
made last week. The latter is the
•" champion" of America, and the
former is the "champion" of England.
The match was to have come off on the
15th, but the backers of the contest-
ants have agreed to postpone it until
the 22d instant. The contest is to
take place on the Delaware, and the
contestants are to swim from Chester,
Pa., to Philadelphia, a distance of six-
teen miles.
The chief provisions of amendments
to the constitution of New Hampshire,
which have been before the State
Legislature, propose the establishment
of a special tribunal for the settlement
of contested elections; make the
judiciary elective; remove all religious
tests, and provide against all free
passes on railroads, and for equal
privileges, just dividends and low
charges on railroads and by telegraph
Companies.
A Milwaukee paper says of the air
in its relations to man: "It kisses and
blesses him, but will not obey him."
Blobbs says that that description suits
bis wife exactly.
Texas Grain.
No one who has been in the habit of
visiting the different wharves in this
harbor for any length of time can have
helped noticing, in tbe past, the im-
mense quantities of grain imported
from the Western States by way of'
New Orleans. Thousands and tens of
thousands of dollars were annually
drawn from the inhabitants of Texas,
to pay for these articles, every one of
which should have been raised within
her borders. Times have at last
changed in this respect. Texas not
only now raises enough grain for her
own consumption, but can spare some
for her less fortunate neighbors; and
instead of seeing our wharves filled
with huge quantities of grain, import-
ed from abroad at immense cost, is now
heard the shrill whistle of the locomo-
tive as it draws loaded trains of grain
to vessels for export.
On Friday last the steamship Jose-
phine took from this place 125 sacks
of oats which were received in New
Orleans on Saturday. The oats classed
as prime, and Tuesday's'Picaywnfi says
"samples are on'Change, and offers
of sixty-six cents per bushel were re-
fused for them." Notice of the receipt
of a shipment of Texas wheat is also
made, which sold at once for $1 20 per
bushel, although the lot was too small
to make it an object to purchasers. The
wheat was received via Shreveport and
will be shipped to Liverpool.
The steamship Hutchinson, which
sailed for Brashear yesterday, took out
another shipment of Texas oats, aggre-
gating some 400 sacks. These produc-
tions of Texas appear to meet with
much favor at the hands of the pro-
duce merchants of the Crescent City,
the commercial editor of the Picayune
stating that " orders have gone on for
a supply from this new source, and a
large trade will undoubtedly follow."
The milk market at New York is
overstocked. Tbe New York Com-
mercial says that all through these
early months of the growing season
the receipts have not been less than
half a million gallons a day, and at
the present time they amount to 13,370
cans of ten gallons each, or 534,800
quarts, as appears from the statement
for the current week, as follows:
Cans.
By the TCrie Railroad *4,375
By the Harlem Railroad 2,900
By the New Haven Railroad 1,120
By the Hudson River Railroad 810
By the Midland Railroad, N. J 1,430
Miscellaneous 2,685
Total receipts 13,370
♦Exclusive of 315 cans of cream.
The consequence is that the whole-
sale dealers complain bitterly of ruin-
ous prices, the average at the railway
platforms being no higher than $1 10
per can, or say two and a half cents
per quart. The market, they say, is
"largely overstocked," especially dur-
ing the cool weather, when it is no-
ticed that the demand is considerably
diminished. It will be admitted that
there is somewhat of a difference be-
tween the condition of the milk mar-
ket in Galveston and that which pre-
vails in New York. People could man
age to decently exist here within mo-
derate means if milk could be had at
two and a half cents per quart. But
then Galveston is in Texas, where cat
tie are supposed to hold their own and
prosper.
The New York Sun is figuring up
what it costs to keep Grant, as com-
pared with his predecessors. The
emoluments as given in the supply
bills from year to year, are as follows:
Annual average under Taylor-Fill-
more (Whig).» $ 34,066
Annual average under Pierce (Dem.) 41,'
Annual average under Buchanan (De-
mocrat) 46,575
Annual average under Lincoln (Repub-
lican 52,195
Annual average of first term of Grant
(Republican) 104,726
Annual average second term of
Grant (Republican) 119,289
" It will be remembered," remarks
the Philadelphia Times, "that tbe
President ot Long Branch is about
twice as expensive a fellow to board as
any who has occupied the White House
before him, and three times as expensive
a3 Taylor, Fillmore or Pierce. What
becomes of all the President's mon-
ey ? He can not spend it in furnishing
the White House, for the Executive's
mansion is about as dingy and god-for-
saken a place for its reputation as we
are ever likely to see. There is cer-
tainly no money wasted upon the
grounds, for they are anything but
beautiful. The green-house can not
consume it, because there is generally
little in it. Yet the supply bills set
apart $25,000 for the refurnishing of
the White House, $10,000 for the
grpunds, $10,000 for the green-house,
$2400 for fuel, $6000 for 'contingents,'
and so on ad infinitum. We hope the
President is not living beyond his
means."
Ex-Confederate Col. Walter H.
Taylor, of Norfolk, Va., and Gen.
Wm. H. Barry, commandant at Fort-
ress Monroe, passed together through
Petersburg, Va., the other day, on
their way to attend the commencement
exercises at the Virginia Military In
stitute. The incident furnishes a text
for a remark on the part of the Rich-
mond Enquirer:
When Gen. Lee's late Adjutant
General and the commander of Fort-
ress Monroe hunt in couples, and for
such game as the Virginia Cadets, the
day of complete reconciliation is cer
tainly drawing very nigh in this part of
the country.
At the last meeting of the Board of
Health of New York, Registrar Harris
submitted his usual report, in which
the following passage occurs:
With the continued high tempera-
ture last week, the number of deaths
from infantile maladies continued to
increase moderately. Diarrheal dis-
orders last week caused 80 deaths, 70
of which were of young children ; 199
infants died under a year old.
A Western man who bit his neigh
bor's nose off was bound over to keep

FROM. MINEOLA.
[Special to the Galveston News. \
Mineola, Texas, July 14,1875.
The stage driver, driving between
Mineola and Sulphur SpriDgs, drove into
a lake, seven miles north of this place, to
water his horses. The lake is deep, and
he. drove too far. His horses became un-
manageable, and merely through good
luck the passengers were saved. One of
the horses was drowned.
Col. Keyes is making brick with a good
force of convicts, to put up a brick block
one hundred and eight feet front, and

Rain is needed badly. Cotton is be-
ginning to suffer.
WASHINGTON NOTES.
Washington, July 14.—To-day the
special agents ot the Treasury were
transferred from the office of the Com-
missioner of Customs to that of the So-
licitor, a sufficient number, however, be-
ing detailed to attend to tlie accounts in
the Commissioner's office. No change in
the alignments of duty of special agents
is immediately contemplated.
Washington, July 14.—It is estima-
ted that one hundred and twenty million
postal cards will be used the present
year.
Professor Marsh has written a letter
to the President regarding Indian affairs
wherein he gives full details. He de-
clares that he has no confidence in the
sincerity of the Secretary of the Interior
or the Commissioner of Indian Affairs in
the prosecution of an investigation into
these frauds, and the evidence in his pos-
session reflects unfavorably on both.
The Lighthouse Board give notice that
on and after the 31st day of July, the arc
of visibility of Barrataria Bay (Louisiana)
lighthouse will be increased so that it
can be seen around the entire horizon.
The Secretary of the Treasury makes
a call for ten million coupon bonds of
1802. __
THE COTTON CONGRESS.
Raleigii, July 14.—The Congress of
delegates reported Washington Leary of
of Louisiana, and H. D. Wynne of Geor-
gia present.
Judge Jones, of Arkansas, addressed
the Congress on the subject of establish-
ing agricultural bureaus in the several
States. He read a telegram from the
agent at New Orleans of the Rockdale
Co-operative Compsny of England, ask-
ing a committee of conference.
Maxwell of Tentessee, Jones of Ar-
kansas, James of Georgia, and Butler of
Georgia, were made said committee.
Col. Holt, of North Carolina, introduced
a resolution requesting the delegates to
the Congress to urgs the Legislatures of
their respective States to follow the pre-
cedent so wisely established by Georgia
in establishing a department of agri-
culture.
Dr. Jones,of Georgia spoke in advocacy
of the resolution, anl explained the great
good that had been iccomplished in the
State by this department. He claimed
that $200,000 would be saved to the
farmers of Georgia this year by its work-
ings. The resolutioi was adepted.
The affairs of the Direct Trade Union
were discussed, and itated that while its
working had not been altogether satisfac-
tory, it had established the fact that it
could be productive of great good in the
Southern States.
An essay was read from E. M. Pendle-
ton, of Georgia, pertaining to agricultural
colleges and departments of agriculture.
Col. Johnson, oi North Carolina, reports
from the Special Corimittee, advocating
the re-establishmsnt of the State banking
system as peculiarly advantageous to
the whole countiy, snd asking Congress
to relieve the tax upon State banks as a
matter of justice and right.
A constitution and by-laws were adopt-
ed making the election of officers bien-
nial.
Col. E. D. Butler, of Gleorgia. was re-
elected President; Col. J. W. Whitford,
of North Carolina, Secretary ; R. M. Sims,
of South Carolina, Treaiurer. Nashville
was selected as tlia nest place of meet-
ing.
A resolution was adopted urging the
importance and absolute necessity of pro-
ducing an abuadance of all articles of
prime necessity. Regarding the proper
basis to unite the commercial interests of
the Southern and Western States, it was
said that these States should be more
closely united together, as the strongest
ties of commercial interests existed in
their diversity of clitrnte and soil, each
producing the prime articles of necessity
required bv the other.
A resolution was adopted requesting
Congress to afford such aid as will insure
the construction of t'.iree great trunk
lines of railroad from Chicago to Morris
town, Tenn. ; from St. Louis through
Cumberland Gap to Knoxville, and from
Memphis to or near Atlanta.
The question of co-operation with the
Rockdale Society of England was refer-
red to the National Grange.
CRIMINALITIES.
Parker's Case. >
Charleston, July 14.—The evidence
for the prosecution in the case of ex-
Treasurer Parker closed yesterday. The

The court to-day was occupied with the
argument with the State by Col. Jno. H.
Rion.
What Caused tbe Riot.
Lawrence, Mass., July 14.—The

of a Hotel—Tlie Killed and
Wounded.
LynciibuRG, July 14.—About 4 o'clock
this morniDgthe rear portion of the City
Hotel fell with a great crash. Fortunate-
ly, the five or six rooms destroyed were
not fully occupied. As far as known,
only three persons were domiciled in the
wrecked rooms. Mrs. L. Brown was
killed, T. E. Farris, a commission broker,
badly injured, and a negro man severely
bruiBed. A negro child is missing. Mrs
Brown was dead when reached by the
firemen. The building was old, but con-
sidered safe.
GENERAL NEWS.
First Hale of New Cotton.
New Orleans, July 14.—The Price
Current says : Our cotton circles were
completely taken by surprise this morn-
ing by the receipt of a bale of new cot-
ton, which arrived last evening—not
from the Rio Grande, as usual, but from
St. Landry parish, shipped by Mr. Joseph
Beraua from his plantation on the Teche.
As this is considerably in advance of the
general expectation, it has occasioned un-
usual excitement among the factors and
brokers, more so as there can be no mis-
take about the bale being all of the new
crop, well ginned, and of good staple
and color, classing as Middling Fair to
Fair, new classification, and weighing
Upward of 400 pounds. We learn that
this cotton is mostly from Mr. Beraud's
plantation, but received liberal contribu-
tions from his neighbors, who were fur-
nished by him with the seed planted,
which was of an unusually early variety,
known as the " herlong," selected with
the anticipation of getting an eajly Xtold.
Under the circumstances, its arrival
must be regarded as exceptional, and
very much in advance of the general
Louisiana crop ; in fact, owing to recent
rains, no more can be expected for some
time from the same locality. The bale
was purchased by Col. W. M. Owen, at
the fancy price of 25c., the right to the
premium to be awarded for the first bale
being reserved by the planter. Owen
forwards it by express to-day to Messrs.
Bliss, Bennett & Co., New York. This
completely eclipses the Rio Grande bale,
which will be due to-morrow. Our first
receipt of the Louisiana crop last year
was on August 12th, and the year before
on August 1st.

of his fingers for several days. The Uni-
versity race Btarted at 12:10 o'clock ; the
water was in good condition ; the first
half of the race was uneventful, Harvard

six lengths.
Utica, July 14.—The news of Cornell's
second and greatest victory has aroused
the most intense enthusiasm here ; the
great fire bell and other bells are ringing,
the University chimes are pealing, bombs

firing, and business places and private
buildings are festooned.
Extraordinary Rain.
Cincinnati, July 14.—A dispatch from

mills in Ashton, Stalvbridge, Dunkiu-
field and Mossley have decided to give
notice of the commencement of the lock-
out on the 24th inst., because the work-
ing people employed in certain depart-
ments refuse to refer the disputes in re-
gard to their wages to arbitration, and
other employes have since quit.
London, July 14.—Mr. McKenzie,
Canadian Premier, in a speech at Dun-
dee last night, referred to the great re-
sources of Canada. He contended that it
was quite consistent for two nations to
exist on the North American Continent,
governed differently and with different
political institutions. He was convinced
that, so long as Great Britain maintained
her present attitude toward the colonies,
friendship and confidence would be main
tained.
The telegraph reports that the tents

\ ersailles, J uly 14.—The Assembly
has declared the election of Burgoing
null and void by a vote of 330 to 310.
Mr. Dnval, a Bonapartist, interrogated
the government as to the line of conduct
it intended to pursue toward Imperialists.
Buffet replied that the government re-
garded it his duty to insure respect to tke
constitution; would tolerate no factions
nor intrigues from any quarter, nor
take the initiative in any legal prosecu-
tion, but refer unlawful acts to tribunals.
The declaration produced great excite-
ment.
Rouher introduced a proposition for a
new election in the province of Navarre,
notwithstanding the law forbidding sup-
plemental elections to the present Assem-
bly. In the course of his remarks he
made allusion to a committee for appeal
to the people, which he acknowledged he
directed. The avowal of connection with
such committee, which Rouher had pre-
viously denied on his honor, was received
with surprise and caused a sensation.
Debate adjourned to-day.

nication has been made to the King of

Views of an Old Han of Sound
Mind about a New Constitution.
Eds. Neics—An old man of four score,
having no political aspirations or farors
to ask, presumes to give his views about
a new constitution.
He is opposed to political cliques, as a
general thing, to make nominations,
which are usually composed of unworthy
and irresponsible political aspirants,
which high-toned, honorable men will
not attend.
I am in favor of the judiciary being
elected by the Legislature, and a compe-
tent number of circuit judges, according
to extent and poDulatioo, and alternate
with judges of tlie adjoining-circuits, and
not sit consecutively on same bench.
The circuit judges to compose the Su-
preme Court, and meet semi-annually at
the seat of government. A j udge having
given his opinion in the lower court ex-
cluded from voting on that case.
Two or more chancery judges.
A court of arbitration whose decision
is to be final.
A judge for each county, learned in
the law, to have exclusive jurisdiction in
all probate matters and civil suits, and all
criminal cases not deemed capital.
Tha Circuit and County Courts to hold
their courts semi-annually, and so ar-
ranged as to have three months interven-
ing between sessions for civil and crimi-
nal cases ; but county judge to hold his
courts monthly for probate purposes.
Criminal Courts only for cities of fif-
teen thousand inhabitants.
None but freeholders to vote for Mayor
and Aldermen, and the Board of Alder-
men to fix the salary of the Mayor,
which should not exceed two' thousand
dollars per annum.
It should be made llie duty of every
District and County T udge to examine
every juror and decide upon his capacity
to sit as such.
No juror should be allowed to sit con-
secutively more than one week during a
term of court. Any law deemed best to
keep loungers and loafers from the jury.

Troubled Texas.
The following is a special dispatch
to the Chicago Times, dated Austin,
Texas, July 9:
Texas being the only State directly
interested in the Mexican border trou
bles, your correspondent interviewed
Gov. Coke to-day, to learn his views
in the contemplated annexation of
portions of Tamaulipas, Nueva Leon,
and Coahuila, and the probable result.
He stated that he did not favor annex-
ation, inhabited, as the territory is, by
people too lazy to work, and educated
to plunder; that too many of this class
could already be found west of the
Mississippi, and their Spanish origin
and fashions, kept" tip with Mexico,
would make annexation a difficult
task, if not impossible. If our gov-
ernment would always act as decisive
ly as of late, obtaining permission of
Mexico to pursue the marauders across
the Rio Grande, depredations would
cease entirely, else even a new border
line would afford no protection, and
the difficulty continue.
Adjutant Gen. Steele, just returned
from the border, in his official report,
advocated similar views. There is no
co-operation in the settlement of this
matter between the officials at Wash-
ington and Gov. Coke. The impres-
sion prevails here that annexation is
seriously thought of in Washington.
Since 1805, Western Texas has been
principally radical. San Antonio,
which would be the capital, and New
Braunfels have favored a division of
the State. The constitutional conven-
tion, convening here in September
next, affords an opportunity to renew
the question. They seriously complain
of having no railroad, ana that the
public domain west of the Colorado
has been granted to subsidize those of
the east. The new State would form
a nucleus for the annexation of the
territory to be annexed to it from
Mexico, and strongly aid Grant in his
third term aspirations.
During the recent terrible storm in
the harbor of Valparaiso at least forty
boys belonging to the training ship
were drowned. Between twenty and
thirty sailors, and from twelve to fif-
teen boatmen, exclusive of eight per-
sons who went down in the unfortunate
Egerie, were lost. No correct esti-
mate of the loss of property has been
i arrived at.
Personal.
Sir Moses Montefiore, the eminent
Jewish baronet', has gone on a journey
to the Holy Land.
Col. Fred Grant retires from the army

teen years.
A jaw three feet long has been un-
earthed at GoBhen, Indiana. It is sup-
posed to be a relic of some woman's-
righter of the Silurian age.
Herr Wagner is distinguished by a pe-
culiarity for which great musicians are
not remarkable. The illustrious com-
poser of " Lohengrin" does not give him-
self airs.
Marshal Prim's remains are to be in

has accepted an invitation to act as the

Ex-Governor James Whitfield, of Alis-
sissippi, died at Columbus, Ga., last Wed-
nesday, at an advanced age. He was a
soldier in the war of 1812, served through
the war with the Creeks, and during the
Rebellion acted as funding agent of the
Confederate government.
The Chevalier Don Jose Antonio Pa-
zarro, for many years Consul of Spain
and Mexico for the State of Maryland,

and literature at St. Mary's College, died
recently at St. Agnes' Hospital, Balti-
msre, at the advanced age of 92 years.
Father Spinner kissed the treasury
girls as he bade them good-bye, and more
than one strawberry blonde remarked
musingly to herself : " He's a little old,
'tis true, but it almost seems as though I
might be persuaded to—but then, it's no
use talking, he's too profanne for
mamma."—St. Louis Republican.
Edgar A. Poe's " Raven" has been
translated into French by Stephani Mal-
larme, with original illustrations by
Edouard Manet, and has just been pub-
lished in folio form in Paris. The Eng-
lish verses are placed Bide by Bide with
the translation. The illustrations are
said to be very fantastic.
The late Mortimer Thompson (" Doe-
sticks ") traveled with a theatrical com-
pany when he was a youth, and once de-
scribed himself as the " most numerous "

" Pizarro " Was acted, he assumed seven
different roles.

JNot that they are not pretty ; not at all,
you know. But really, in about two
weeks, et this rate, they'll have to get
one skirt made for each—each—well,
each limb, if they want to walk at all.
And—ha! who knows but that is the way
they propose to attain pantaloons ? Is
there strategy here"?
Edmund Yates is said by a correspond-
ent to have offered a distinguished au-
thor ten guineas per week for a weekly
portion of a novel of eight columns in
length, and upon the lady saying that
her terms were double that amount to
have expressed great surprise. Where-
upon the lady said : " I have long since
given up sacrificing my bread and butter
in order to furnish gentlemen like your-
self with cakes and wine."
Rev. J. G. Morris, D. D. LL. D., of
Baltimore, Maryland, a distinguished Lu-
theran theologian, and at present libra-
rian of the Peabody Institute, of that
city, has in course of preparation a work
designed to exhibit the progress of litera-
ture in the Lutheran Church since its es-
tablishment on this continent, and to be
published next year as a contribution to
the Centennial record of the nation. For
this purpose he has addressed letters of
inquiry to all the prominent clergymen
in the Church.
Miss Reed, an American Diana Ver-
non, entered the jumping ring recently
in the Alexandria Park horse-show in
London, against some of the best lady
riders in England. Her horse Tommy
was a cur, but the plucky girl kept him
at his work, and goi him three times
over his fences, but finally he funked at
the water-jump and landed himself and
his fair jockey in the middle of the pond.
Miss Reed kept her seat bravely and was
cheered by 20,000 persons as she brought
her balky little hunter out.
Mr. George Ellis, of London, contri-
butes to the exhibition at Leeds an old
painting of more than common interest.
It represents a party of Indians at work
in a pool, gold washing ; an engraving of
it by Theodore de Brug is in the " His-
toric Americans," an old Latin work,pub-
lished in Frankfort in 1500. Who
painted the original is not known, and
although the best judges of the art in
England have seen it, they have been
unable to form a correct notion of its ori-
gin, the figures being all cleverly finished
in has relief in a manner totally different
from that of any known master. It is
from the collection of Mr. George Ellis,
of St. Johnswood.

A farmer living near Quincy, Mich.,
was paintiDg the gutter on a house roof
the other morning, when a sudden ex-
plosion occurred near him, which
threw him off the roof and stunned
him severely. Several persons in the
neighborhood rqeeived shocks simul-
taneous with this occurrence. It is
supposed that a large accumulation of
electricity in the air must have been
suddenly discharged, though the sun
was shining brightly at the time, and
there were hardly any clouds in sight.
