Neglecting; to Enforce the (lrt
Ordinance.
Officers of the Board of Underwriters
complain that city officials neglect or re-
fuse to enforce the ordinances regulating
the construction of wooden buildings
and other dangerous and inflammable
structures within the fixe limits, greatly
to the prejudice of the insurers and the
public. Several places are pointed out
as being in conflict with the existing
law, but no attention has been paid to
them by the police authorities.
Considering that the heaviest loss in
case of a conflagration will fall on the
underwriters, and that they pay 4 large
proportion of the municipal taxes, it
seems no more than simple j ustico to af-
ford them the means of protecting them-
selves from danger attending inflamma-
ble buildings, defective flues, or other
causes which fire ordinances purport to
provide against.
It has been suggested as the easiest
and best way to effect the purpose in
view for the Council to appropriate a
reasonable sum per annum to pay an
officer specially charged to see thnt the
fire regulations are properly enforced.
The Board of Underwriters recommend
a competent and reliable expert for the
service, and the city to confer on him
powers of a policeman. Such an arrange-
ment as thiB would meet the views of in-
surers, would not interfere with the or-
ganization of the police force, and insure
faithful execution of the laws. Aa the
officer so appointed would be as much in
the service of the Board of Underwriters
as in that of the city, it would be but fair
for the underwriters to make up any de-
ficiency in the compensation or the sa'.
ary of the fire warden. Whatever it
might be could be equally divided be-
tween the city and Board of Under-
writers.
Professor Tlce's Prcdlrdlon*.
Between ridicule on the one hand and
superstitious awe on the other, few peo-
ple really know what have been the
" probabilities" predicted by the St.
Louis weather prophet for the present
year. Like the Signal Bureau of the
government, he doea not pretend to go
beyond probabilities ; but ho gives his
reasons for anticipating electric dis-
turbances from the influence of the
planets on our earth and its atmosphere,
not only affecting the winds and waves
but producing earthquakes. The follow-
ing extract from an article Written by
him somn months ago gives, iu brief, his
views in his own words :
I will, however, give my data, and let every
one that feels Interested note the phenomena
•ccurring at or about tho periods. The fol-
lowing are planetary equinoxesduringtbe re-
mainder of tho present year: July 10 and 18
August 5, 2.r> and 31, September 17 and
October 10,14 and 15, November ", 25 and 27
December 18.
The suggest is the combination in Octo-
ber; tho nexi ;rl Fvnertry is that in the latter
part of August, the noxt.after that is the
November one. I lit: Tnly equinoxes both be-
long to the present Vt-uuHjaQ perturbation.
If there will be tropical cyciones, the August
combination will bring them nbout. But
where they will occur—if at *11—will depend
upon tho locality where they orlginaio. If
they originate in the western part of the
Caribbean Bea or in the tiulf of Mexico,
they will bo on the south coast of Florida
from the 25th to the 31st of August. If they
originate in the tropical sea, east of the
WindwaM Island*, it will take them from six
to ten days after tho equinoxes to reach tho
coast of Florida, and they may not reach it
at all, but swing around northeast on the
Uuifstream. The combination in November
will probably terminate with unseasonably
cold weather.
Judging from the earthquakes that have
occurred during the present Venu.ian dis-
turbance and during May, I think ft is an un-
mistakable evidebco that the Haturnlan dis-
turbance has already ncquircil considerable
strength. The disturbance is of six years"
duration, three before and three after tho
equinox which will occur in December, 1X77.
In July, 1877, a Jovial eqninox ocenrs. Fre-
quent and violent earthquakes may therefore
bo expected for the next five years; and gen-
eral phenomena at the critical neriod bo more
or less severe.
Mr. A. B. Casey, of Council Bluffs,
Iowa, who is largely interested in Knatt'a
•Mexican Silver Mining Company, ia in
Denison awaiting the arrival of a large
quantity of machinery from St. Louis.
The machinery cost $10,000, and will be
taken to San Antonio. There Mr. Casey
will purchase teams and wagons, and
transport it to Parral, about two hundred
miles south of the city of Chihuahua,
Mexico. This company has been organ
ized to re-open and work old mines occu
pied by the Spaniards two hundred
years ago, and now filled with water,
which will be pumped out by steam
power.
TnE campaign in Ohio ia growing
warmer aa the day of election ap-
proaches. Increased enthusiasm on the
part of the Democracy is everywhere
apparent. Eminent speakers have been
stumping the State, but it in said that
the moat powerful arguments .are yet to
be made. Among the noted orators to
be heard are mentioned Kx-Governor
Curtin, of Pennsylvania, Mr. Voorhees,
ol Indiana, and Gen. Kwing.

Wholesale Retailers.
Knocking the middle man out of the
ring is not the aim of little boys with
marbles and Grangers alone; but the
Baltimore Gazette complains that whole-
sale dealers are playing the same game,
by supplying their friends with goods in
a retail way. The members of a firm,
their clerks and salesmen, have not only
supplied themselves, but have gradually
extended to their friends the privileges
they enjoy. The Gazette complains that
this practice has extended so far as to
interfere very materially with the retail
trade .In Baltimore. The American
Grocer also refers to and condemns
this practice. To compare the whole-
sale prices of some articles, quoted
in that paper, with the prices paid
by the consumer when purchasing at re-
tail, one .might think the extension of
this system more desirable than its aboli-
tion. Taka tea?, for example, which are
quoted at wholesale in New York, at
20 cents to 59 cents a pound for Hyson,
and 29 cents to $1 10 for Young Hyson,
the best of which last named kind sel-
dom or never finds its way into the in-
terior, and comparing these with the
prices of small dealers, one would natu-
rally think that between importers,
wholesale dealers, jobbers, interior whole,
sale and retail men, there might be a
saving in buying as nearly from first
hands as possible. But the papers state
another case which, while it may not
siiow any hardship on the consumer,
does look rather heavy on the retailer.
A system is reported to hava been
largely practiced by clothing manufac
turers during late years, with results es-
pecially disastrous to retailers in that
branch. It has been the custom of some
of the large manufacturers throughout
the country at the close of their season
and just at the time when the retail trade
was at its best, to rent a vacant store at
some good point in one or more of the
principal cities, stock it with the same
lines of goods they have been supplying
to retailers, and, by underselling them,
clear out their surplus supplies, and
leave the burden of carrying over an un
salable stock upon the small dealers.
It is said that this practice ia also re
sorted to by wholesale grocers, and the
Gazette goes bo far as to say that it exists
in all trades to a greater or less extent,
and, taken at its best, is deserving the
strong censure it receives from Te-
tailera.

the Statesman notes the return to
Austin of Captain John Connor from
Maaon and Llano counties, bringing
*ome fine specimens of silver and copper
ore from that rich arctlon of the Ptate.
A shaft has beeu suck a mile aud a half
I'roni the town of Llano, and the speci-
ens taken from the mine are very ricb.
The Baltimore papers say that in that
city, Frederick F. Schroeder is con
structing a steerable air-sheep, in which
he designs crossing the Atlantic. The
balloon part will have a capacity for
135,000 cubic feet of gas, and a lifting
power of 13,000 pounds, inclusive of its
own weight. It will have one pulling
and one pushing propeller, front and
rear, making, according to the current
the ship is in, COO to 1200 revolutions a
minute, and sails against as well as with
the wind. Mr. Schroeder probably be-
lieves in the practicability of his under-
taking ; but a gaod many men, quite as
capable as he ia supposed to be, have
failed in similar efforts, and it might be
well for him to show how the thing can
be done before he tells people how, un-
less, as seems probable, he differs from
the elder Ilamlet, in having some specu-
lation in his eyes. A long account of his
balloon winds up with the statement that
it will be exhibited in New York and
other cities of the Union, and the trip
across the Atlantic will not be under-
taken until the spring of 1876. About
the timo the Atlantic trip ia undertaken
Prof. Tice will knock the balloon higher
than a kite.
Dealing WItli "Drunkards.
Tho British Medical Association, at
its late meeting in Ediburgh, had be-
fore it the subject of the treatment of
inebriety by restraint. The subject
was introduced by a paper read by Dr.
A. Peddie, of Edinburgh, on "The
Necessity of Legislation for the Con-
trol and Treatment of Insane Drink-
ers."
The speaker enumerated among in-
sane drinkers those who inherited the
propensity to intemperance; those
with whom it was the manifestation of
some form of cerebral disease; those
who were alilicted with it as the re-
sult of physical injury or disease,
heavy grief, reverse of fortune, etc.,
and those who acquire it through a
course of vicious indulgence in stimu-
lants.
He s«id that legislation was requisite
in houses of reformation suited for in-
sane drinkers in different grades of so-
ciety. For the upper or middle classes
these institutions would spring up
through private enterprises alone, or
through associations formed for the pur-
pose. For the working classes and the
poor, he urged that properly classified
sanatoria t-hould be established, which
would to a large extent hecome self-sup-
porting, from board paid by the abler
class of inmates or their friends, perhaps
by parochial boards or pauper inebriates,
from", work done on the premises, and
from legacies and donations. In these
institutions pauper drunkards would be
taken care of, and punitive would in a
great measure give way to reformatory
treatment. For criminal drunkards re-
formatories should be established and
supported by prison boards, into which
persona would be drafted from jail; and
other persons by the direct commitment
of magistrates
Dr. G. F. Bodiogton followed with
a paper "On the Control and Re-
straint of Habitual Drunkards." The
balance of opinion among mcdicalmen
was, he said, largely in favor of some
legislative measure for the control and
care of habitual drunkards. The
leading organs of the medical press
held the same opinion.
Sir Robert Christison presented the
following resolution, which, after full
discussion, was unanimously adopted:
That excessive intemperance ia in
many cases a sympton of a special form
of insanity, which requires special treat-
ment, with a view, firat, to the recovery
of those affected, and, second, to the pro-
tection and advantage of themselves and
of society ; that in the present state of the
law ptich treatment ia not attainable,'and
that it la desirable that legal provision
should be made to render it attainable.
This resolution is understood to give
the sanction of that enlighteried and
powerful body, the British Medical
Association, to the proposition that it
is desirable that legal provision should
be made to put habitual drunkards
under restraint, for the protection and
advantage of themselves and of society.
Canada ranks third—or at least
fourth—in importance among the ship-
owning countries of the world. The list
of her vessels on the registry books ex-
hibits a total of 0930, measuring 1,158,-
303 tons. Of these 034 are steamers.
During the year 1874, 490 new vessels
were built there, forty-two of which
were steamers. The trade of the inland
lakes employs nearly half of the Cana
d.ian steamerp. The Canadian Dominion
is larger in superficial area than the
United Htatea, and nearly an large as the
whole of Europe. Its provinces and ter-
ritories are Ontario, Quebec, Nova Sco-
tia, British Columbia, Manitoba, Hudson
Bay and Northwest Territories. In ad-
dition to these are the islands of Labra-
dor, and others in the Arctic Ocean,
which, being added, make the total of
3,500,000 equare miles. According to
the census of 1871 the population, exclu
sive of Indians, was 3,900,810, or rather
more than one to every square mile.
The Fayette County Record stands by
wfeat it conceives to ba principles, with^
oat regard to public expediency, and re-
marks ;
The conVentiou, in ite wisdom, saw fit to
pass an ordinance restraining the Governor
from ordering an election for members of the
Fifteenth Legislature. Thnt this measure
was expedient, that it is, right to defer the
election and thereby save money and perhaps
prevent confusion, we do not deny. But that
this convention had the right to suspend a
law or to stretch their power to tho extent
they have done, we do meat emphatically
deny.
The Brenham Banner says:
If we are to make sure of an economical
administration, of the State government in
futtfre, the rate of taxation must be limited.
If "the power to tax is the powar to de-
stroy," it is a matter of tremendous impor-
tance that its exercise by the Legislature
should be definitely and clearly restricted by
the constitution.
The Austin Statesman brings down its
mallet on " Deadheadism," and remarks
Men in commercial circles pay newspapers
for making known their business; lawyers,
doctors and mechanics pay for personal space
in newspaper columns, and any one who ex-
pects to gi>in notoriety or secure personal
gratification by tho same means must learn to
pay just as the merchant, Lawyer or mechanic
does.
The Statesman doubtless refers to tlie
army of men witli little axes to grind
who have, time out of mind, kept the
press at work to promote their little
schemes of fame and aggrandizement.
The Marshall Herald remarks :
A State Convention is the highest delibera-
tive body known under our form of govern-
ment. It is designed to represent directly
the sovereignty of the people, and is, there-
fore, not confined to merely framing a consti-
tution, but can rightfully perform all that the
people themselves could do if assembled to-
gether. To suppose that it would abuse such
authority is unreasonable. An instance of the
kind has never occurred.
The State Gazette says :
Hon. Charles DeMorse is exercising aJargo
influence in the Constitutional Convention.
He speaks to the point in every Instance, and
shows the large hearted citizen and sagacious
statesman.
The same paper, speaking of the ques-
tion of granting lands by the Stats in aid
of public works, remarks :
Grants of public domain to railway corpora-
tions (should be conditioned, that a per centum
of the capital stock of the company should be
paid in. and that all companies failing to com-
ply with their charters, or forfeiting their
iranchiset», should not thereafter bo made the
beneficiary of the State. The lamentable his-
tory of the Southern Pacific read and the
losses of the State through its peculations,
should admonish the convention to attach
suitable restrictions to the grant of these
lands to i ail way corporations. We hope the
problem may bo solved in a wise manner, and
Texas blessed with an extended system of
internal improvements.
The Sherman Register has an article
on the Texas and Pacific Railroad, which
says:
The extension act, passed by the last Legis-
lature, grants tho Texas Pacific Railroad
Company farther time for the construction of
their line to certain points. It is provided
by that act that tho road from Sherman to
Texarkana shall be completed by the first day
of January, and that twenty miles of
road, beginning at the present eastern termi-
nus of tho Transcontinental branch, shall be
built by the first of November, 1875. The
first day of November is near at hand. Only
one month remains, and toere is nothing yet
to indicate that the company will make any
effort to comply with the requirements of the
act. Within the short time left, it would be
almost impossible to organize a force and
build the required Dumber of miles. It is,
therefore, certain that the company will fail
to comply with the act, and will forfeit their
large landed subsidy thereby.
The Register is opposed to any more
extensions, and says it will fight any ex
tension, and in doing so, will reflect the
wishes of nine-tenths of the people of
that region.
The San Antonio Herald thus states.
without comment, the late conflict be
tween the civil authorities of Texas and
the United States military commander at
Fort Clark:
At the last term of the District Court, held
at Brackettsville (Fort Clark,) Barmey Galla-
her was tried and acquitted of the murder of
a United States soldier, whereupon two pris-
oners, one of thekia soldier who was chargod
with killing a civilian, made their escape
from the military guard-house. The Grand
Jury undertook to investigate the matter of
the escape, and Gen. Hatch was summoned to
appear as a witness. He refused to obey tne
summons, and indorsed on the hick of it that
he did not recognize the authority of tho
court, of tho State of Texas, or of Kinney
county.
The sheriff also made this return on the at-
tachment issued by tho conrt stating that
General Hatch had said that he would resist
arrest, and that the officer* of tho garrison
had resolved to sustain him, even if it cost
them their commissions, and he would resist
any attempt to arrest him.
Of course General Hatch has not been ar-
rested. General Hatch is understood to have
said that he should not have taken this stand
had not Judge Ware been on the bench; that
Governor Coke had sent Judge Ware out of
his own district into that of Judge Dougherty
for tho express purpose of having him. Hatch
indicted for his action in the troubles near
Ringgold Barracks between his soldiers and
the Mexicans.
We obtain these particulars from a legal
gentleman who wm at Fort Clark at the time,
and who made an Ineffectual attempt to have
them transmitted to us over the military
telegraph.
We also hear that the Crand Jury then in-
dicted General Hatch for resisting the sorvice
of legal process. General Hatch is the com-
manding officer at Fort Clark.

Mr. Cheesman.a citizen of Matagorda,
arrived in Jthis city Sunday, bearing the
following appeal for assistance for his
townsmen and residents of the vicinity
of Matagorda:
Matagorda, Texas, Sept. 28, 1875.
To the citizens of Galveston, Houston and
other cities:
The undersigned citizens of the town of
Matagorda represent to the citizens of Gal
veston and Houston that we have many per
sons among us who are absolutely destitute
of food and clothing, and that it is out of
our power to afford them adequate relief.
These people have been rendered destitute
by the late fearful hurricane, and some of
them are old and decrepit and unable to la-
bor. Whole families, who heretofore have
been among the most .thrifty, industrious,
honest, energetic and independent people of
the county, are now left without food, cloth-
ing or homes.
We will not attempt to describe the condi-
tion of these people in this appeal, but leave
that to our worthy fellow-citizen, Mr. R. G.
Chessman, who will visit you in person, and
who will receive whatever maybe contributed
by the people of Galveston, Houston and
other cities of Texas.
We appeal to the people of these more for-
tunate cities to help the destitute people
among us.
Winter is upon 'us. and unless immediate
relief be obtained, great suffering among us
is sure to follow.
Mr. Cheesman will faithfully express the
extent of our disasters and the condition of
the distresied.

Mr. Cheesman ^gives a sad account of the
sufferings of the residents of Matagorda and
the peninsula. At the upper end of the pen-
insula the destruction was very great, whole
families having been swept away. Besides
Mr, Dtecrow and his family, ten in all, who
were lost at the lower end, twenty-two lives
were lost from that part of the peninsula
which joins the mainland, and twenty lives
were lost on the mainland, near the mouth of
Can8y Creek. Over seventy persons who had
their all destroyed on the peninsula are in
the town of Matagorda, whose citizens, thou^
in great distress themselves and in need ^>f
assistance, are supplying them with the
necessities of life.
Mr, Hutchins, who lost his wife, mother-in-
law and six children on the peninsula, was
rescued in an almost lifeless condition, but
with tender watching and treatment has re
covered.
Mr. Cheesman states that no astlstance has
been rendered the sufferers of his town and
section with the exception of fifteen barrels
of flour and five barrels of potatoes sent
down tey the Indianola Relief Committee.
This was a mere bagatelle where there were
so many mouths to feed, and as a consequence
the wants of the sufferers are becoming more
pressing. Besides the number made desti-
tute by the flood on the peninsula over one
hundred and fifty of the citizens of Matagorda
are in distress. The people have been assist-
ing one another, but supplies on hand having
given out, they are compelled to ask the in-
terposition of a generous people, and to place
themselves in the same category as their af-
flicted sister town Indianola.
The peninsula has been cut by several chan
: nels of considerable depth, and in several in
stances houses have been toppled into the in
rushing flood with the caving sand bank.
Stock of all kinds has perished on the penin
sula.
The destruction of property in Matagorda
was caused by the hign wind, as the water
did not come up into the town. About "half
the town is in ruins, and scarcely a house re
mains that does not show the ravages of the
storm in some way.
Mr. Cheesman will call on the Relief Com-
mittees to present his claims for aid for the
sufferers of his section.

"Whereas, the election of a Legislature
and other officers, and the coming together
of the Legislature to hold its sesaion under
the existing laws and constitution, are, for
the time being, unnecessary, and will cause
great publio expense, and are likely to pro-
duce confusion in nutting the new constitu-
tion in operation, if one shall bs established,
together with doubts as to the validity of the
election of a United States Senator if two Le-
gislatures shall assemble during the next
year, and can only aggravate the evils, to

pense, and to prevent the occurrence of tfee
other evils aforesaid ; now, therefore,
