India Trade.
The neglected anil unprofitable
character of the trade between the
United States and her American jmigh-
bors toward the south is at ^ast be-
ginning to receive some of the atten-
tion demanded by the importance of
the subject. The New York Commer-
cial Bulletin—now that the South and
West have begun to work in this di-
rection—takes up the matter, and
compiles some statistics showing the
extent of the field open to our com-
merce on this continent. The magni-
tude of that tnde at present, and its
capabilities for the future, are exhib-
ited in the following table, derived
from official returns for 1872:

Saturday, November 14,1874.
Samcel J. T11.den, Governor elect
of New York, is a bachelor. Bu-
chanan was the last bachelor President.
Who will be the next 1
Tub small-pox is still on the in-
crease at Montreal. The Hotel Dieu
and general hospital are over crowded.
The Hall House, in Newpark, has been
taken possession of and ten patients
placed there since Saturday.
Wherf. will the Tichborne claimant
roost now ? A new chapter has de-
veloped itself in this case. A wander-
ing South Sea Islander reports to have
seen Sir Roger die, and claims to have
attended his burial service on Sidney
Island in the Southern Pacific Ocean.
Despite government measures in
Asia Minor, the famine continues. The
Khedive of Egypt has sent corn to the
distressed districts. Baker, the Amer-
ican Minister, Philip Francis, British
Consul-General, and M. Lebet, French
banker, havo formed a relief commit-
tee.
They have met and they have
parted—those efficient administrators
of chronic misrule. ^ Grant has talked
the matter all over with his cabinet,
and they have wisely spoken. The
result of the recent elections he de-
clared to be one " huge joke," to which
declaration his obedient secretaries
responded amen!
Five years ago the Bay State had
two members of the Cabinet, the Lon-
don mission, the chairmanship of the
Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions, and the chairmanship of the
Hpuse Committee on Appropriations,
on Claims, on Foreign Affairs, and on
Reconstruction. Now it has only the
chairmanship of the House Committee
on Ways and Means and on the Ju-
diciary.
At St. Johns, New Brunswick, a
few days since, Rev. Mr. Michaud, a
Roman Catholic priest, refused to pay
his taxes beca use part of the amount
was for the sustenance of the public
schools. It was purely a matter of
principle, as several men offered to
pay the sum and the clergyman was
abundantly able to do so himself. He
was arrested, and while in custody
the constable's house was stoned by a
mob. To avoid further disturbance he
finally paid the taxes, under protest.
" Peace hath her victories no less
than war." Senator Bayard, of Dela-
ware, at the late Democratic demon-
stration in New York, said: "I be-
lieve that, in the history of the United
States, the election that took place on
the 3d day of November, 1874, will be
as marked a day in the annals of this
country as the 18th of June, on which
the battle of Waterloo was fought. It
was not the clash of armed men—it
was more than that. It was the clash
of moral forces arraigned under the
form of law."
In the late elections a very large
number of colored voters voted with
the Democracy. This was the case in
Missouri, where many of them voted
for Hardin; in Louisiana, where they
contributed about 10,000 to the Con-
servative majority; in Georgia, Ala-
bama and Texas. At New Orleans,
the Picayune says, negroes, to the
number of three or four thousand,
openly voted the Conservative ticket.
It is pretty evident that a better feel-
ing is growing up between the races,
since the negroes have found how little
reliance can be placed on the represen-
tations of the carpet-baggers.
Henrv L. Dawes, who spoke him-
self down by trying to speak Butler
up, has lost utterly whatever chance
he had to be elected to the Senate.
He will soon retire to assume once
more his ruralistic duties, and proceed
with his treatise upon the "nature
and habits of the potato bug."
To show with what appreciation he
is met throughout his own State, a
leading Boston journal says that " Mr.
Dawes can not fail to see that he has
made an ass of himself. He can step
down and out. No bloody shirt-
shaker need apply at the State House
for Charles Sumner's seat. We will
have a statesman there, please God."

The balance of trade against the
United States in its commerce with these
countries in 1872, it was thus seen, was
$127,331,060, and that the whole value
of our trade with them was 03 per cent.
This commerce, of course, is capable «f
indefinite expansion. It may not be im-
possible that the very raw material, es-
pecially of cotton, wool, dry hides, furni-
ture and dye woods, which constitute so
prominent a feature of it, may be manu-
factured in our own country by the
skilled labor Imported from Europe, and
America may send some of the very
fabrics to Europe now imported from
there.
6ot. Tilden Speaks.
At the late Democratic celebration
of the recent victories in New York,
the Democratic Governor of that State,
Mr. Tilden, said:
The Government policy toward the
Southern States has added largely to
these evils. Those communities are
the chief producers of our exports.
They are large consumers of our pro-
ducts, our manufactures and our im
ported merchandise. They are; our
most profitable customers. They pay
us commissions and profits on every
thing they do. We can not blast their
prosperity without impairing our own.
We can not hold them by military
force under the scandalous corrup
tions of the carpet-bag governments,
and protect robbers in plundering
them ten times as much as the Tweed
ring plundered the rich metropolis,
without ourselves suffering by their
ruin. As our malady is national, so
the remedy must be national. The
State government and the municipal
governments may abstain from adding
to the evils, the source of which is at
Washington.
They may furnish some palliatives
and alleviations. The complete cure
can only be had in a wiser and more
healing policy in the Federal Govern-
ment. What has been wasted and is
gone can not be recovered. But it
may be gradually replaced by produc-
tion and frugality, if at least that gov-
ernment will do the works that are
meet for peace. That the people of
the United States, returning to wiser
views, returning to the great traditions
of American free government, will
stand by us as we lead them back to
the ideas of Jefferson and the maxims
of Jackson, I firmly believe. For my
part, having never intended to engage
in such a contest until this emergency
arose, I think that it is every man's
duty, whether he be high or humble,
to join in a common cause for the re-
demption of free government and the
re-establishment of sound principles of
administration throughout our great
country.
Mr. Tilden also spoke feelingly and
forcibly of the decline of the principles
on which free government in America
can alone respose and endure, the
home-rule theories of Jefferson. He
said on this point:
Alas! I scarcely know a man under
forty or fifty years of age who has
had an opportunity to learn the true
principles of American free govern-
ment. I had occasion several years
ago, in a melancholy—almost painful
consultation with Gov. Seymour,
when things were at their lowest ebb
in this State, when the Democratic
party itself needed a thorough cleans-
ing, I had occasion to say that we had
been rearing and educating no young
men to take our places. I hope before
we shall be called to our final with-
drawal from public affairs that we
shall at least have handed down to
the guardians to come afterwards the
great traditions of American free gov-
ernment which have been in the past 14
years nigh to perishing from the memory
and the knowledge of the people. I
trust that such men as my friend Sen-
ator Thurman, whom I see before me,
and other men who through periods of
darkness and gloom have sacredly
guarded the traditions of American
free government, will take care that
they hand them down to successors ca-
pable of making this country what our
ancestors designed it should be—what
we in our youth fondly hoped that it
would be—the refuge of the oppressed
of all climes, the model of free institu-
tions all over the world, the security,
happiness and prosperity of all our
people evermore.
Kedneed Railroad Tariff
The Kansas City Journal of Com-
merce of Wednesday, Nov. 11, learns
from Mr. Hayes, special correspondent
of the Galveston News, that he has
secured from Mr. George Olds, Gen-
eral Freight Agent of the Kansas City,
St. Joe and Council Bluffs Railroad,
the following rates on wheat, corn,
oats, flour and other breadstuff, des-
tined for the Texas market, or for
shipment through Galveston to the
foreign markets of the world:
Ten cents per one hundred pounds
from St. Joseph ; twenty cents per one
hundred pounds from Nebraska City and
Council Bluffs; and twenty-five cents
per one hundred pounds from Omaha.
Mr. Olds stated that if this would not en-
courage trade, he would pro rate with
connecting lines in the South, and over
his line carry this freight regardless of
profit. Mr. Olds will also carry coffee
from Kansas City that is shipped through
from Galveston, at the same rates as he
will carry the production mentioned in
this article.
The Journal of Commerce says:
Mr. Hays is deserving of great credit
in his efforts to direct trade and divert
the attention of the leading business
men in those cities to the advantages of-
fered them by the Galveston market.
He is enthusiastic in this matter, and is
working energetically for the accom-
plishment of this great object, that has
in it the disenthrallment of the West
from the East, and the opening up of a
market for all the surplus productions of
this remarkably rich and fertile country.
Next week he will visit Omaha, Lin-
coln, and other cities, in the interests of
this movement.
Lobby Fees.
At Memphis, on Friday last, in the
case of Farrington vs. the Street Rail-
way Company, for $25,000 back sala-
ry, the jury gave him $11,500. The
evidence on the trial showed an ex-
penditure of $20,000 to lobbyists and
to one of the editors of the leading
papers in Memphis, for his influence
in obtaining an amended charter. The
defendants will carry the case to the
Supreme Court.
Democratic
Distribution of the School Fond.
In reply to the resolution of the
Teachers' Institute of Williamson coun-
ty, for oensuri ng him for, as the Insti-
tute is pleased to term it, an outragetus
neglect of duty In delaying the appor-
tionment of the $500,000 appropriated
by the Fourteenth Legislature for the
payment of teachers for the current
scholastic year, Hon. O. N. Hollings-
worth, State Superintendent of Public
Schools, says:
1. 8ection seven, amended school
law, makes it the duty of the county
school officers to report the scholastic
census of their respective counties on
or before the twenty-fifth day of July
of each year.
2. Section one, amended school law,
makes it the duty of the State Super-
intendent of Instruction to make an
apportionment of the appropriated
school funde on August 1st of each
year, or as soon thereafter as possible.
3. On August 1st only eight coun-
ties had reported their scholastic cen-
sus to this department. On Septem-
ber 1st, thirty-five counties; on Octo-
ber 1st, seventy-four cocntie 3; on No-
vember 1st, one hundred and eight
counties, had reported the scholastic
census to this depertment.
4. Williamson county report was
completed on Octeber 1.
5. On August 1 there was not a dol-
lar in the Treasury to the credit of the
$500,000 school fund appropriation for
this year.
0. If the census returns of all the
counties had been in on August 1, or
at any subsequent period, I would have
made the apportionment, notwith-
standing there were no funds on hand.
The want of this definite informa-
tion constituted no valid excuse for
directors failing to levy the deficiency
tax.
The same amount being appropri
ated for this year as for last, an ap-
proximate estimate sufficiently accu
rate could have been made upon the
data of last year's apportionment, as
has been done by other boards of di-
rectors. In view of these facts, I saw
proper, in the exercise of the discre
tion authorized by law, to defer the
apportionment in order that the chil-
dren of the State might be secured in
their constitutional right to an equal
share in the school fund, and that the
tax-payer might not be forced to meet
such heavy deficiencies levied for the
support of public free schools.
If the apportionment had been made
on August 1, no good could have been
thereby accomplished, but great in-
justice would have resulted to the
scholastic and tax-paying population
of the State.
Irresponsible school children should
not, and shall not, if in my power to
prevent, be deprived of their ju3t pro-
portion of the sehool fund on account
of neglect of duty on the part of offi-
cers in charge of the administration of
the school tax.
Prison Reform.
The transactions of the International
Prison Association, held at St. Louis
in May, have been published in a vol-
ume of seven hundred pages.
It contains: I. Opening addresses by
the President and others. II. Annual
reports of the six standing committees,
with discussions thereupon. III. Annual
report of the secretary of the association.
IV. Papers submitted to the congress.
V. Present state of prison reform through-
out the entire civilized world. VI. Mis-
cellaneous matters, containing among
other things a full account of the pro-
ceedings of the International Penitentiary
Commission at Brussels, in June last.
VII. Closing session of the congress, with
resolutions submitted for business com-
mittee and the discussion elicited by
them ; also the valedictory of the presi-
dent, Hon. Richard Vaux. VIII. Appen-
dix, containing "Analytical Outline of
Penal and Penitentiary Reform, by M
Bouneville de Marsangy, member of the
Penitentiary Commission of the National
Assembly of France."
The work is of deep interest to all
who have given any attention to these
important questions, and to all legisla-
tors and local and other authorities
intrusted with the care and reforma-
tion of prisoners and repressing and
preventing crime. The work may be
had of E. C. Wines, Secretary of the
Association, No. 320 Broadway, New
York, at two dollars per copy, or two
and a half dollars when sent by mail to
any part of the United States, with
postage prepaid.
Alabama.
The Democratic majority in the
State will be 15,000. Six Democratic
Congressmen have been elected, and
there will be thirty Democratic majori-
ty on joint ballot in the Legislature.
Arkansas*
Governors.
In 1870 six State* had Democratic
Governors. The number is now twen-
ty-two out of thirty-seven. Thirteen
States elected Governors ;on Tuesday,
the 3d inat., and ten of the elect are
Democratic, viz: Alabama, George S.
Houston; Arkansas, A. H. Garland;
Delaware, John P. Cochrane; Massa-
chusetts, William Gaston; Michigan,
Henry Chamberlain; Missouri, Charles
H. Hardin; Nevada, L. B. Bradley;
New Jersey, Joseph D. Bedle; New
lork, Samuel J. Tilden; Tennessee,
.las. D. Porter. The Radicals elected
only Silas Garber, in Nebraska, Cham-
berlain, in South Carolina, and T. A.
Ogborn, in Kansas.
On Saturday night the office of the
Gazette newspaper at Wittsburg was
set on fire. The flames communicated
to the adjoining buildings, which were
soon consumed. Six houses, with their
contents, were destroyed.
Connecticut.
At Center Village, Connecticut, on
Saturday, a boy twelve years of age
shot his brother, aged two years, dead
on the spot, and wounded his sister so
severely that she is not expected to
live. The deed was accidentally done
with an old gun which was left loaded
in a bed-room.
Florida,
The latest election returns show
Purman, Republican, for Congress in
the First District, is elected by from
500 to 700 majority.
It will require an official count to
decide the result in the Second Dis-
erict, although it is believed that
Walls, Republican, is elected.
The Senate is a tie. Republicans
claim the Legislature by a majority of
three on joint ballot.
Illinois.
On the 29th of October Joseph Rob-
bins, a bridge watchman at Kaskaskia
river, on the Vandalia Railroad, in
Illinois, was murdered. Nathan Sur-
gus, a neighbor of Robbins, was ar-
rested by the officials of Fayette
county, and the evidence against him
was so strong that he has made a con-
fession in open court as follows:
" I knew that the Vandalia pay-car
had passed that afternoon, and had
paid Robbins his month's wages,
wanted money. I got that shot-gun
and went to the bridge. As I ap
proached the watchman, I saw through
the window Robbins sitting inside.
His shoulder and head only could be
seen. I raised the gun and fired
then hesitated a few minutes to listen
if the report of the gun had aroused
anyone. I then went up to the watch-
house door, and found Robbins on bis
knees, praying. I plainly heard him
say, "O God, have mercv on the one
who did this. Spare him, for Jesus'
sake." I was horrified, and turned
and ran, I did not know where. I did
not enter the house, nor touch the
door. His words haunt me still."
Nevada.
The election returns from Nevada
are not yet completed. So far as given,
Bradley (Democrat) for Governor, has
2000 majority. Adams (Democrat) for
Lieutenant-Governor has 800. Wood-
burn (Republican) for Congress has
1000 majority. The rest of the State
ticket is probably Republican.
Tennessee.
The State and County Democratic
Executive Committees have determined
to hold a grand mass meeting in Nash
ville, on the 19th, to celebrate the
success of that party in the late elec-
tions.
Hon. John W. Ileac5, member of
Congress elect from the Fourth Dis-
trict of Tennessee, died at Gallatin on
Monday.
Wisconsin.
Later returns from the Eighth Dis-
trict, which comprises remote northern
connties of the State, indicate the
election of Cole, Democrat, over Mc-
Dill by about 100 majority. This
leaves the Wisconsin delegation five
Republicans and three Democrats, a
Democratic gain of one.
Texas Press.
The Dallas Herald gets off an arti-
cle on that ubiquitous character, the
"Agreeable Pauper," and describes
him as follows:
He is generally well educated, pleas-
ant in address and as inoffensive as an
oyster. His good humor is an armor
that protects him from the reproaches
of those who are annoyed at his not
getting on in the world better. The
women like him for his small talk and
his accomplishments as a partner in
what Mr. Dick Swiveller calls " the
mazy." He is generally a man who
"has never had a chance " to show
what is in him according to his opin-
ion. There is no tenacity in him; the
world knocks and jostles him about in
a sad way, and he never, by any cir-
cumstance, gets the better of it. The
heat and burden of the day in the
struggle of life sink him into an amia-
ble apathy, from which he is periodi-
cally aroused by some temporary in-
centive. Not being given to making
money, he floats on the surface of
current events, always sanguine,
always just about to do something,
and never doing anything.
Mr. J. H. Tucker has recently be-
come the proprietor of the Cuero Newt.
The Houston dailies discuss the pro
posed constitutronal convention. The
Age says:
The Legislature must no longer de-
lay the matter, for in these days of
progress and revolution the present
constitutional botch under which we
live is a source of shame and danger.
All are in favor of the constitutional
convention, but a few, very few seemed
inclined to make it a machine of gen-
eral destruction, under which the offi-
cial heads as well as the organic laws
should fall. We are opposed to any-
thing tending to shorten the official
terms of those who were elected two
years ago by an overwhelming ma-
jority.
The Telegraph says that it is opposed
to a new election, decidedly and
emphatically. There is no denying
the fact that there are men in office
who were foisted on the people. No
one will dispute the fact, that in many
instances, men hold office who are ob-
jectionable and distasteful to the citi-
zens in their localities, and yet these
are but slight evils compared with
those that might attend a new election
to be held immediately upon, or at the
time of the ratification of the constitu-
tion by the people. The cost to the
State would be considerable, and it is
not a matter of minor importance. It
would amount probably to not less
than from fifty to seventy-five thousand
dollars, which, considering all things,
could be better appropriated. Texas
is in the hands of the Democracy.'
Everything is running smoothly, so
far as the State Government is con
cerned, and if there are judges who
are objectionable, or others who fill
places of profit and honor against the
will of the people, the grievances are
nothing compared with the expense,
excitement and feeling which will be
attendant on a new election.
The Burnet Bulletin says:
Let us make it a paramount duty
devolving upon the Constitutional
Convention, to make provisions for
the organization of a school system
that will be an honor to the State.
We certainly have the means, and if
we have not the brains, let us copy
from some State that has had the
brains.
The Express bases the claims of San
Antonio to the title of the Paris of
Texas on the fact that this Texas city
had, on last Sunday evening, five
places of theatrical amusement open
and in full blast—the Turner Hall, the
Laborers' Association Hall, the Har-
mony Hall, and the colored people had
a theatrical performance, to which
may be added the rather notorious
"Dingle Dangle." If all this does not
console San Antonio for the loss of the
ancient Sunday's game of cock-fight-
ing, it will be hard to find any substi-
tute for that noble sport of the Dons,
The Austin Statesman says:
We have recently had a tidal wave
of Democracy; and, as we predicted,
the results of the recent elections are
having a most healthy and happy ef
feet upon the citizens of the older and
more densely populated States. Even
in the North the feelings of bitterness
seem to have passed away, and the
people are calmly inquiring into the
advantages which Texas presents. The
revolution in politics has reached the
masses, and has led them on to a revo-
lution in their estimates of the charac-
ter of the Southern people. Hence the
fever for immigration is spreading all
over the North, and we find accounts
of men gathering in companies, and
Texas Items.
Bexar County.—There were twenty-
five deaths in San Antonio in Uctober
The highest temperature for the month
was ninetv degrees, lowest forty ; rain-
fall half an inch The Herald, pays
that nine miles of the Peirce road west
of San Marcos have been let out under
contract. A new station is to be estab-
lished midwav between the San Marcos
and Gaudalupe, which will be apt to
have a depressing effect on the commerce
of Luling.
Cameron County.—Green corn is
plentiful in the market. .. .An industri-
ous Mexican who has worked for years
for Mr. Glaveacke, as a farm hand, had
all his stock stolen a few nights ago.
This poor man has been accumulating
this stock of fifteen head for years, and
in one fell swoop the scoundrels who
prey upon other people's industry have
made away with them.... Last week a
band from Mexico, fully armed, made a
raid, and succeeded in crossing sixty
head of stolen cattle below this city.
They are supposed to be the same party
that called a vaquero of Carlos Danache
to them and tied his hands behind hiB
back and to his saddle, led him to the
road, and told him to go and tell his mas-
ter that they were waiting for him. The
country is now nearly depleted of stock,
and if the drain coutinues much longer
the country between here and King's
rancho will have very little if any stock
left on it. The 'stock is being Btolen in
fives, tens and twenties, according as the
thieves find a bunch together. They
make a dash over and gather in what
they can and be back in Mexico the next
day with their plunder.
Goliad County.—Mr. Sol. Parks to
Mr. R. F. Hillyer, 119 acres land on the
Manahnilla Creek, for one hundred and
fifty dollars. Mr. Parks to Mr. J. Curen,
two hundred and eleven acres, on the
waters of the Coletto, for five hundred
dollars... Cotton is coming in briskly
and is selling at 34c. per pound in the
seed.
Houston County. — Several wagon
loads of Mexicans passed through Crock
ett last week, going to San Antonio.
They were from Nacogdoches county
... .Wild pigeons are coming in by the
thousand, and great fears are entertained
about the destruction of the mast by
them... .Crockett's inhabitants number
nearly 2000. As the business portion of
the town has at different times suffered
by disastrous fires, this portion has all

him double what the same amount of

county has now in successful operation
about sixty-five free schools, all under
charge of efficient and competent teach
ers. Besides these we have several pri-
vate schools One of the greatest in-
ducements that Houston county can offer
to the immigrant, is the fact that it has
the most complete system of free schools
of any county in Texas. In 1871 there
were twenty-seven schools in operation;
in 1872, forty-four ; in 1873, sixty-two;
and the number this year (1874) bids fair
to reach seventy There are four
church organizations in Crockett, to wit
The Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist and
the Episcopalian. There are also a male
and female seminery, three large Sunday
schools, a Masonic Lodge numbering
about seventy-five members, and an Odd
Fellow Lodge numbering about forty.
There is also a Masonic Lodge at Au-
gusta, in this county.

missions of city oificers : Mayor's salary
reduced from $500 to $300; Marshal's
salary from $700 to $600; City Clerk's
from $250 to $200, and so on, to the ex-
tent of a reduction of $1700 in all.
Navarro County—The Presbyterians
have erected a large and comfortable
building on their lot, which is principal-

groceries. There were thirty-nine wagons
at the warehouse and in the lumber-yard

A special dispatch to the Cincinnati
Gazette says, un0er date of Washing-
ton, Nov. 9th, that Special Agent
Yaryan, who investigated the affairs
of Federal office-holders in Texas, will
be again dispatched to the South on a
similar errand, as soon as he completes
some business now on hand at the
West. The Secretary of the Treasury
intends to have all suspicious cases in-
vestigated, and to take prompt action
in regard to them, as in the case of I
Texas.
There is a very general belief that
numerous changes are to be made
among more of the important Federal
office-holder* North as well as South.
Nothing definite regarding the matter
can, however, be ascertained.

United States Supreme Court.
The following decisions were ren-
dered on the Oth inst.:
In the case of Sprott vs. the United
Statps, the Supreme Court affirmed the
judgment of the Court of Claims, hold-
ing that the claimant, a Confederate
citizen, gained no title to certain cot-
ton by a purchase from an agent of the
Confederate States, because these
States were without corporate power
to take, hold or convey a valid title to
any property whatever, and that the
claimant was chargeable with no tic 3 of
treasonable intent of sale by the Con-
federate government, to wit: To raise
money for the purchase of munitions
of war. Justice Miller delivered the
opinion. Justice Field dissented, tak-
ing the view that the pardon of the
claimant reinstated him in all his civil
rights and gave him assurance that he
should stand in the courts of his coun-
try in as good condition as any of his
fellow citizens who had never sinned
against the authority of the govern-
ment.
In the case of the Home Insurance
Company vs. Morse and another, error
to Supreme Court of Wisconsin, a de-
cision was rendered. In this case the
Home Insurance Company of New
York complied in writing with the
statutes of Wisconsin, by which,
among other things, it agreed not to
remove a case commenced against it in
the State courts to the Federal courts.
But on the commencement of the
present case it nevertheless moved for
transfer to the Federal court. The
court below regarded the statute and
agreement as ground for denial of
motion. This court reversed the
judgment based upon that theory and
holds that neither a private citizen nor
a corporate body may barter away sub-
stantial rights, and that the company
was entitled to a removal, notwith-
standing the State law and the con-
tract. Justice Hunt delivered the
opinion. Chief Justice Waite de-
livered a dissenting opinion in which
Justice Davis concurred, holding that
the State had the power to enact such
a law, placing foreign and local busi-
ness and corporations in the same po-
sition as to State authority and to
make all doing business in the State
amenable to the same tribunal.

Lord. Major's Day.
The late (Nov. 9) celebration of the
Lord Mayor's Day at London reminds
one of the good old times of Whitting-
ton and his cat.
The crowd that gathered to witness
the procession was immense, and very
enthusiastic. A number of houses
along the route were decorated. The
day wa3 also the anniversary of the
birthday of the Prince of Wales, and is
further celebrated on that account by
the firing of salutes and the ringing of
bells. At night the city was illumi-
nated.
The festivities were concluded with
a grand banquet at Guild Hall. The
Lord Mayor gave the usual toast to Her
Majesty's Ministers. Mr. Disraeli re-
sponded. He referred to the tran-
quillity England had enjoyed for the
last six years, and said the people were
now contented.
The working classes of Great Britain
inherited rights and privileges not yet
possessed by the nobility of other lands
They had no fear of arbitrary and
domiciliary visits. They possessed
the right to combine for the protection
of the interests of labor. Justice was
pure and no respecter of individual
classes. The country had seldom
been more prosperous. He praised
Lord Northbrook, Viceroy of India,
and Marquis of Salisbury, Indian Sec-
retary, for their sagacity in dealing
with the famine in India.
Referring to the recent outcry for
separation of the colonies, he distinct-
ly declared himself in favor of the
maintenance of the integrity of the em-
pire. Of this policy the annexation of
the Fiji Islands was a proof. The
government was resolved to consoli-

has been an immense amount of cotton
received in Austin the last two days—
more, perhaps than in any two days be
fore during this season.. . Col. Creary,
of Omaha, Manager of the St. Louis and

The San Antonio Express says : " The
new Bishop of the Koman Catholic
Church for Western Texas, is to reside
in Brownsville, as we see from the
Ranchero. San Antonio would have been
the best Episcopal residence, we think.'
... .Colorado Synod at its recent session,
divided the Presbytery of Little River
and made a new Presbytery, to be called
the Presbytery of Bosque. It will em
brace all the territory lying between the
Brazos, and the Leon and Little River.

Church, in Bosque county, on Thursday
night before the fourth Sabbath in No-

The Denton Review says: " There is
more Gospel in the city of Denton at
present than has been at any time since
Denton became the county site. There
are only about one hundred preachers
here as yet."... .State Geologist Buckley,
of Texas, will report at the next Legisla-
ture his observations in fifty-four coun-
ties, from which it is settled beyond any
question that the sections visited princi-
pally in the central, eastern, northern
and western parts of the State, abound
in vast deposits of iron and coal. The
copper region has also been found to
have a wider and larger range than
generally supposed, and there is an
abundance of salt, gypsum and good
roofing slate. Silver has not been found
in paying quantities, although its exist
ence in the counties west of Llano has
been satisfactorily demonstrated.
great have been the advantages re- I
ported that they are disposed to doubt
their truth. They, therefore, act
wisely in appointing agents to come
and see for themselves.
The New Tork Tribune has a special
correspondent in Alabama, who has
recently contributed some very able |
articles to the columns of that journal.
He has taken a liberal and comprehen- ]
sive view of the political and material
situation in that State, and no doubt
through his aid readers of the Tribune
have come at some facts hitherto un- [
known to them. In his latest contri-
bution, the Tribune correspondent I
deals with the condition of Alabama
immediately succeeding the surrender
of the Confederate armies, and the dif-
ficulties that stood in the way at that I
period of the -revival of Southern in-
dustries. He says:
I have here sketched, very briefly,
some of the difficulties which stood in
the way of a revival of industry in the I
South, at the close of the war. How
great these difficulties were no pen
can tell and no man can realize until he
comes to the South and makes a study |
of the character of its people, white
and black. Such a knowledge the
men in Congress who made laws affect- I
ing the South unfortunately did not
possess, and I suppose that, in the
prevalent state of public feeling at the
time, North and South, it was impossi-1
ble for them to obtain it. They acted
on the best information they could |
then obtain, and both sections were, I
believe, in some measure to blame for |
tbe mistakes that were made.
It is likely that the next Congress I
will be composed of men whose knowl-
edge of affairs at the South is more en-
lightened and comprehensive than was
that of their predecessors, and who
will avoid the mistakes In legislation j
which has curaed the whole country.
He thanked the French ambassador
for the friendly sentiments he ex-
pressed when replying to the toast to
the diplomatic body. Although it
would be trifling with the truth to
assert that the state of the continent
showed no cause for anxiety yet, the
government believes in the mainte-
nance of peace, for whichjall the great
powers were anxious.
In the pressure of crowds to witness
the Lord Mayor's procession yester-
day, two persons were killed and sev-
eral injured.
Wm. Cullen Bryant, the venerable edi-
tor of the New York Evening Post, was I
eighty years of age on the 3d instant.
Mr. Bryant is still in the enjoyment of
vigorous health, promising continued j
usefulness.

The Effects of Dosins.
Many persons who are wanting in natural
vigor eadearor to supply the deficiency by
constantly dosing themselves with drugs
(often of a very pernicious nature,) which
they are oreduloas enough to mistake for in-
vigorants. There can be no doubt that many
lives are shortened in this way. All that suoh
persons require is a pure vegetable tonic
which, like Hostetter's Stomach Bittets, also
possesses the regulating properties necessary
to rectify those organic disturbances which
are but the result of weakness. The feeble
and the nervous can not be too earnestly ad-
vised to abandon the dangerous practice of
swallowing mineral tonics, sedatives and
vegetable alkaloids, which disorder the stom-
ach and produce the most hurtful reactions,
and to substitute in their place this standard
strengthening cordial and corrective of the
numerous disorders proceeding from debility
of the nervous system, as well as of the stom-
ach, liver and bowels. nol2 thu sa tu Wlw

A colored man, named Thomas
Swan, died at Memphis a week or two
ago. Swan was a leader tmong his
fellows, and had exercised more or less
political influence among them since
the new era opened upon us. He is
said to hate been possessed of unusual
intelligence. Certainly his dying
words indicate a well ordered mind.
"We give them for the benefit of ihe
colored race, who would do well to
heed Swan's parting admonition:
Say to my people to cut loose from
all those politicians, white or black,
who continue 'to sow discord among
the races. "We know it is hard to over-
come the prejudice of any class, and
particularly the fears of the simple,
uneducated people. Say to them to
shake off those fears, for they are un-
founded in fact. Let them become
free and untrammeled in the exercise
of their political rights. Let them
struggle to be free like other national-
ities that compose this community,
and sustain only those men who have
living interest in the soil. I will say
one farewell word to my people—the
last, too, that i will ever say on earth:
My people, endeavor to cultivate more
attachment for the worthy people of |
the South; be true to them and worthy
of their confidence; and remember a
dying friend says to yon that peace
will surely follow.
Contemplating the abandonment of my
old stand on Market street, and the removal
of my entire stock to the Brick Store on Tre-
mont street, I will be compelled, in order to
make room, to sell a number of STOVES at
VERY LOW PRICES—cheaper than they can
¥e bought elsewhere in the city.

" Disastrous Accibents by Flood."
The writer hereof recently met Mr,
Torrey, the enterprising but unlucky
manufacturer of New Braunfels, after
an interval of a quarter of a century,
but the parties did not recognize each
other until they were introduced, when
the newspaper man exclaimed: "Why,
I knew you before the flood!" Mr. T.
immediately replied: "Oh, by ,
we have had two floods, and now I'm
looking for an earthquake I" He re-
ferred to the destruction of his mills
by floods.
But this hardly equals the way the
Cleveland Herald puts the Massachu-
setts election: "Another dam disas-
ter in Massachusetts. See election re-
turns."
Among tbe results of the late elec-
tions, some Democratic journals reckon
that Judge Jeremiah Black will be the
United States Senator elect from Penn-
sylvania, Horatio Seymour from New
York and Francis Adams from Masssa-
chuietts. These would not be the
least of the advantages of the victory.

Dr. Curtis has assiduously devoted him-
self to his practice, for a period ranging over
twenty years, and adopted, as his specialties,
the treastment and cure of
NERVOUS DISEASES,
Originating in Physical Debility, Exhausted
Vitality, Premature Decline, Abuses of the
System, and such General Functional De-
rangements as Spring from the Above Causes,
or are Incident to an Enervated and Depicted
Condition of the Organs.
Dr. Curtis addresses himself to those who
have already yielded to the suggestions, and
besought the care of ignorant advertising
charlatans, from whom they have received no
benefits, and who, in fact, have done them
more material harm than practical good. It
is conceded that Medicine, like all other
sciences, is progressive, and every year but
records some new development; or marked
advance. By a felicitous combination of
remedies of acknowledged curative power.
Dr. Curtis has so arranged and adapted his
treatment as to afford not only immediate
relief, but radical and permanent cure.
The Medical Times says: "Dr. Curtis's sys-
tem of treatment, the result of twentyjyears
successful practice, differs from all others iu
general use, and commends itself to the af-
flicted, as the only true source of relief.
Many cases pronounced incurable have
yielded successfully to his remedies."
tSr*Dr. Curtis wouid strongly impress upon
those patients who intend placing themselves
under his care, the importance of doing so at
as early a date as practicable, thus enabling
him to mark the cm«*-ooo or cacti case, which
ia uo very desirable in connection with the
treatment of those diseases embraced under
his specialty. During Dr. Curtis's visit in
Galveston some time since, many gentlemen
were disappointed at his refusal to conduct
their cases by correspondence, and as the
length of his present visit is necessarily lim-
ited to the above date, (his engagements
being already perfected for the ensuing win-
ter) he would strongly suggest to those who
wish to consult him, not to lose anytime in
so doing, but to see him as 8oon as possible.
