Hon. A. H. Garland has been elected
United States Senator from Arkansas,
in place of Powell Clayton. The Sena-
tor-elect is a sound Democrat, but con-
servative in his views, has ability and
sagacity, and will be an accession to his
party. As Governor of Arkansas he
did much to raise the State f-om the
depressed condition to which itjhad
been reduced.
Gen. R. E. Colston, an ex-Confede-
rate colonel, who has been in the ser-
vice of the Khedive of Egypt since
1874, is expected to return to this coun-
try at the close of the present year,
when his contract with the Khedive
will expire. He has just returned to
Egypt from Paris, where he went six
months ago for medical treatment. At
the close of the American war Colonel
Colston received the appointment of
Professor of Geology in the North Car-
olina Military Institute.
Agricultural Unions in England
take the place of the Granges in this
country. The papers of the former
country state that the National Agri-
cultural Laborers' Union, of which Mr.
Arch is the president, the Kent Union,
the Laborers' League, and Laborers'
Land Company (limited)," have now
reached an aggregate membership of
about 70,000, exclusively composed of
agriculturists and laborers. An increase
in wages is reported to have been ef-
fected by the organization, while a sav-
ing has been effected in the cost of liv-
ing by means of purchases on the co-
operative plan.
Collector Casey, of New Orleans,
was on the fioar of the House of Re-
presentatives on the lGth, and expressed
himself freely to members of both po-
litical parties, in regard to the situation
in Louisiana. He says that Packard is
entirely without support from the hon-
est, property-owning citizens, and that
he is in no condition to sustain himself
or obtain assistance from the President,
who holds to the opinion that a State
government too poor to maintain itself
from home aggression has no claim
whatever to aid or assistance from the
Federal authorities. Mr. Casey stated
to a traveling companion, that a feud
had sprung up between Wells and An-
derson and Kellogg, and that the Pack-
ard government was only sustained in
its pretensions by wharf negroes and a
few carpet-bag politicians.
An open confession of sin is said to
be good for the soul, and to acknowl-
edge the corn is said to palliate the of-
fense of robbing a neighbor's crib.
The principle is beginning to assert
itsqlf in other ways. Stuart Robinson's
libel suit against the St. Louis Demo-
crat resulted in a friendly compromise,
byjwhich the defendants cofessed judg-
ment for $30,000. Mr. Robinson took
$2700 to pay his lawyers, left the costs
of the courts to be charged against the
defense, and with this acknowledged
the complete satisfaction of the judg-
ment. Thus the $30,000 verdict is
settled for a tenth -of that amount;
the honor of the plaintiff is vin-
dicated,and peace restored. Some carp-
iDg critics think that the May-Bennett
duel is of a piece with the above. That
there was no hostile meetiDg with blood
in view, that May simply acknowledged
himself shot and Bennett declared him-
self satisfied. Once there was an affair
something like this at Philadelphia,
at which one of the parties was a young
man named Schott. When the duel-
ists retiuned from the bloodless field
of honor a witty fellow announced that
one of the parties was Schott and the
other wa3 not shot, and both were satis-
fied ; and so the matter ended, as all
quarrels shoi^ withQut bloodshed.

BRAZORIA COUNTY.
Tbe Sograr Crop—Proposed New Ca-
nal Route to GutmIob.
Brazoria, Jan. 16, 1877.
Ed*. News—The crops of sugar in this
county have, with one or two excep-
tions, been saved, and the yield has
been beyond our best expectations.
The past year has been very satisfacto-
ry to the farmers, and notwithstanding
the difficulties with which they have
had to contend, their new industries
springing into existence—and experi-
ments of diversified agriculture in this
and Matagorda county have resulted
favorably. There is a scction of coun-
try stretching from Oyster creek on the
e$st to Caney on the west, of unsur-
passed fertility, and capable of vast im-
provement. Its climate is such that it
will not alone be dependent upon sugar
and cotton for its prosperity, and the
two counties of Brazoria and Matagor-
da, now with a population of about
12,000 scattered over about 3000 square
miles of territory. The obstacle to the
advancement of this country is the
want of communication with Galveston.
The crops of these two counties can
only reach a market at Galveston by wa-
ter transportation, per Brazos, San Ber-
nard, Oyster creek and Caney. We now
have one steamboat on the Brazos, and
sail vessels on the other streams. The
freight per Caney having to be hauled
to San Bernard or transported by sail
clown the creek to head of Matagorda
Bay, and thence to Indianola, and
thence by Morgan steamer to Galves-
ton, with a heavy freight tariff and the
other disadvantages incident to our sit-
uation, the wonder is that we do any
thing at all. The canal per Brazos
river to Galveston is in tolerable condi-
tion, thence from Brazos river to San
Bernard is ten miles, one half distance
through salt lakes. From San Bernard
to Caney, in the fifteen miles at least
one-third of the distance is through
salt lakes, so there would not be more
than fifteen miles of solid land to cut
through in extending a canal from
Brazos to Matagorda Bay, twenty-five
miles, that will connect Galveston and
Matagorda bays, and give communica-
tion to all the intervening country,
and develop a trade from which she,
without fear of a rival, would profit in
proportion to the facility of communi-
cation ; and this trade would continue
to grow every year to an extent we
now have no means of estimating.
We of the country would be glad to
see Messrs. Glass & Lovejoy start their
new hydraulic dredge in this direction;
and if they will get ready and give
some assurance of ability to cut the
canal, our people would contribute land
and stock to the enterprise. When
their boat is ready for work, if they
will steam eut this way and cut a mile
or two, enough to show that their ma-
chine is a success and not an experi-
ment, they will find a people ready to
assist to the full extent of their abilit;
I regret to mention the death of
William E. Crews, of Columbia, who
died at his residence on the 15th inst.
Mr. Crews was an extensive planter, a
man of well-known integrity, and uni-
versally beloved by his fellow-citizens.

TIIE PROPOSED DIKE.
rs

7,
Opinion of an Engineer as to Its
Proper Location.
. Eds. News—In view of the interest
attaching to the subjeet of diking West
Bay so as to connect Galveston Is'and
with the mainland, I have been asked
my opinion as to the feasibility of the
proposed sch eme, and especially with
respect to danger therefrom to the
island and city in the event of a cy-
clone. After giving the subject some,
if not mature, reflection, my opinion is
that a dike constructed at Caronkaway
Reef, not higher than the mainland and
island surfaces and with an opening of
500 yards in width and six feet depth
would not be attended with dan-
ger from the cause indicated.
I think, however, that if built
at or near the railroad bridges, there
would be much more danger of the city
of Galveston, particularly, being over-
flowed and damaged in certain contin-
gencies of wind during such a storm
as is not unlikely to occur here. The
grounds of my opinion are these: Gal-
veston island, upon the northern ex-
tremity of which the city is built, ex-
tends about northeast to southwest, and
parallel with the mainland, say for
thirty miles. At its northerly extremi-
ty it is separated from the peninsula of
Bolivar tending in the same direction, by
a pass ox .. miles. This is known as Boli-
var channel. At its southerly extremity
it is divided from the mainland by a
pass known as San Louis, about .. yards
in width. Beside the water lying be-
tween the island and the mainland,
Galveston Bay extends northward and
eastward, say 30 or 40 miles. That por-
tion immediately north of the city is
known as Galveston Bay proper. The
eastern part of that north of Bolivar
peninsula is known as East Bay, and
that between Galveston island and the
mainland as West Bay. During the
prevalence of strong east, southeast or
southerly winds the waters of the
Gulf are blown into this bay,
thus denominated for convenience
east and west bay, through Boli-
var channel. It is obvious that
a wind with nothing in it can not have
this effect, because no considerable sea
of water lies north of it. The bay being
full of water, a sudden change of the
wind to the north drives the water
back and its principal outlet is the
channel through which it came. But
here San Luis pass serves as a safety-
valve and seems to be provided by na-
t T! for that purpose, in permitting tl e
escape of the superfluous flood which,
from the violence and suddenness of
the change, Bolivar channel may not
[,<; adequate to disembogue. It would,
therefore, t>e unwise to do anything
which would interfere with these pro-
tective arrangements of nature. While
I think that a dike such as I have out-
lined at the point indicated would not
have the effect of checking the outflow
of the water more than it is natarally
checked at San Luis, and that if it
could have this effect under any cir-
cumstances, its possibility of overflow
from its want of height would obviate
the objection, I think the same reason-
ing does not hold as to a similar dike at
the railroad bridge. There the reflux
waters will be suddenly impinged
upon as they seek to enter this
natural funnel in the same
manner that would result if an obstacle
were placed over the expanded mouth
of an ordinary funnel and water poured
on it, wheu the water would splash
over. In the case in question it would
(much of it) be deflected; the conse-
quence would be that the bay just north
of this city and near it would rapidly
fill up and overflow the laad in seeking
the sea. In pursuing the simile of the
funnel, it may readily be ima-
gined that if the obstacle re-
ferred to be placed in the
throat of the funnel, while it will have
some operation to check the water the
effect will not be nearly so great, on
account of the reflex action of the
water, the eddy or current causing it to
return upon itself.
I have been more minute in these ex-
planations than may appear to many
to be necessary, but I have thought it a
subject of such importance to this city
and its citizens as to justify their close
scrutiny; moreover, I am of opinion
that there are many intelligent resi-
dents who have not taken the pains to
obtain more than a general idea of our
surroundings. G. m. 1'razell.

"Mr. Speaker, I call the ayes and

Delegates. The occupant of the chair
announced that the " yeas and nays

known that in parliamentary practice
the affirmative and negative votes on
any question when the roll is called,
are generally designated "yeas" and
"nays;" but when there is a "division"
by a f rising vote the terms used are
" ayes " and " noes." " Yeas and noes,"

Until the morn return ;

A little lamp to burn.

To sing and lose the song,
Vhere busy footsteps wend
Among the world's gay throng.
To know that day is here.
To see that spring has gone.

And still the hours roll on.
We fail, we fade, we die,
Yet once 'twixt death and birth
To know Love's kiss. Love's sigli.

Cuero Bulletin; A. H. Swanson,
Esq., Assistant Superintendent of Mor-
gan's Louisiana and Texas Railroad, ar-
rived in Cuero by special train on Tues-
day night. Mr. Swanson, with his as-
sistants, has commenced to survey the
route from this point to Gonzales on
the east side of the river. Arriving at
Gonzales they will survey the route
back to Cuero on the west side of the
Guadalupe. The. citizens of Gonzales,
and those on either side of the river,
would enhance the value of their pro-
perty and pecuniary interest generally,
by rendering all the assistance possible
toward the construction of the Gulf,
Western Texas and Pacific Railway.
Of course it is not expected that they
will take stock in the road, but that they
will donate such conveniences as the
road requires and otherwise aid in its
construction, that must eventually
prove so beneficial to their pecuniary
interests by bringing it close to their
surroundings.
Saturday morning at G o'clock Mr.
John Wesley Viner, baggage master on

crushing it in a most terrible manner,
necessitating its amputation.

mains to be seen. If in the bounds of
reason they certainly will.

Mary Matilda McMahon, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. James D. McMahon, with

in a short time. The wind was blowing
very hard from the southeast, and the

one-half of- the county is well timbered
with post oak, Spanish oak, live oak,

etc., while the balance of the county is
prairie. The soil is, in the main, ex-
ceedingly fertile, and varies from the
dark and sandy loam to the black, stiff,
rolling prairie. Crops of almost every
kind—suchias corn, cotton, wheat,
oats, barley, potatoes (all sorts), sor-
ghum and sugar cane do well—an aver-
age crop being from three-fourths to
one and a quarter bales of cotton per
acre, thirty to forty bushels of corn,
fifteen to twenty bushels of wheat, sixty
to seventy bushels of oats and forty to
sixty bushels of barley. But little at-

Inquirer: The prospect for a good
crop this year was never more flatter-
ing. A more propitious season for
plowing and preparing the ground for
planting has not been known for years.
The late freezes have placed the ground
in splendid working condition, and as a
natural consequence farming operations
are progressing rapidly. Should the
weather continue favorable, all our
farmers, with the exception of a few,
will be through plowing by the first of
February... .The saloon keepers have
come to the conclusion that it will not
pay to take out license for the present
quarter, inasmuch as they could sell no
longer than the time allowed for the
local option to go into effect... .We
learn from several of our leading stock
raisers that up to the present time very
few cattle have died, and that, as a
general thing, they are in tolerably fair
condition. We hear of several who are
preparing to remove their cattle to
other counties where the grass is better.
Some apprehensions are felt lest the
country be overrun in the spring by
grasshoppers. Heretofore the youg hop-
pers have generally hatched out in
February, and on two or three occa-
sions they have been destroyed by the
heavy rains that followed We learn
that quite a number of hogs have died
during ; the recent cold spell, in the
southwestern portion of the county.
The cause is attributed more to poverty
than to the severe weather, as there was
but little for them to subsist upon in
their local ranges... .A farmer residing
on the west side of the Guadalupe
river, informs us that the birds are
making great havoc with the grasshop-
per eggs. As the frozen crust of the
ground thaws, the birds perforate the
holes with their beaks in search of the
eggs, which they draw out by the sack-
ful and devour. Our informant states
that he has seen thousands of the
feathered tribe engaged in this laudable
enterprise...The Commissioner's Court
has advertised for sale the school lands
lying and being in Gonzales county,
and ordered the same to be subdivided
into tracts of not less than fifty acres.
These lands comprise some of the best
in the county, and can be bought at
reasonable rates.

A letter from Granbury says: Al-
though the celebrated mineral springs,
of so great renown all over the world,
are at this place, it is very dry at pres-
ent. There is a college here with a
faculty of five teachers and about one
hundred and twenty pupils. Notwith-
standing the fact that there are three
churches in Granbury, we had our
" Sermon on the Mount" climbing Co-
manche Peak. The morning was rather
hazy, but near noon the sun broke
forth, scattering the clouds and shed-
ding his light over the grandest scenery
upon which we have ever gazed. Seven
miles to the north stood Thorp's
Springs; to the northeast nestled Gran-
bury on the Brazos bank six miles
away; to the east distinctly rose
Caddo Peak above the prairie,
thirty-three miles distant, while the
Cross Timbers stretched five miles
beyond. Seven hundred feet below
us rolled the placid waters of the lovely
Brazos, as it winds like a serpent through
the valleys and around the foot of the
mountains. To the west .extends for
miles a rich level tract, with here and
there a lonely cottage hiding in the live
oak timber, which mantles the broad
expanse with a beautiful robe of green.
After lunch we descended from omr
lofty height, and met the monarch of
the hills, Col. J. Torrv, of New Braun-
fels, Comal county, who informs us he
is expecting his surveyors Monday, to
locate his claims, which includes nearly
all the mountains. The summit of the
lower peak is a level tract, containing
about 100 acres of rich moist land. The
grass grows very rank, and we believe
the colonel will profit by his enterprise
of fencing and improving his elevated
possessions.

they " set in," wc predict a fine road in
the direction of Corpus... .The body
of A. Reid Stephens was found in the
neighborhood of Cook's store, by his
brother and party, who continued the
search, several days since. The brother
of the deceased came to Oakville
Sunday night, who informed us that
thougn the murder had been committed
three weeks, the body was easily iden-
tified, and that every circumstance went
to prove that he was brutally murdered
while he was asleep at his camp, which
was only a short distance from the San
Antonio road. A bullet hole was
found in one side of his heaad, and his
skull crushed with the butt of a gun.
jack county.
Jack county is thirty miles square,
has 900 square miles and 575,000 acres
of land. At a fair estimate three-
fourths of this land is sufficiently pro-
ductive to raise twenty bushels of
wheat, thirty of barley, or one bale of
cotton per acre. Corn is considered a
good crop only on bottom land.

san saba county.
A late letter from a traveler fays:
The citizens of San Saba certainly have
much to boast of in the way of land.
From the beautiful little c:ty to the
ccucry Uce, gazing west, a distance of
m
Five miles west of town we crossed
the San Saba river at Mr. Barnett's
farm, one of the most desiiable I ever
saw. Quite a large quantity of land is
irrigated in the vicinity of the town,
guaranteeing to the planters a full
crop every year, regardless of the sea-
sons. The town of San Saba shows
signs of prosperity, and everybody
seems pleased with himself and the
world generally.
stephens county.
Western Star: A private correspond-
ent at Breckinridge says: "Business is
good in Stephens. The cry is—land,
land. We have to extend the corpo-
rate limits of our capital, Breckinridge,
to give all who wish to improve, a town
lot. Our county and town are improv-
ing wonderfully fast."
tom green county.
Ben Ficklin is the county seat of this
(Tom Green) county, about three miies
above the Fort, on the middle or mai£*
prong of the Concho. The greater por-
tion of the country between Home
Creek and the Red Fork of the Colo-
rado, is open prairie, plenty of grass,
but timber and water are scarce. Num-
bers of deer and antelope are seen in
this section Fort Concho is pleas-
antly situated at the junction of the
north and middle prongs of the Concho
river, with an abundance of grass and
water, but timber is very scarce. The
mesquite is used for firewood, and is
now being hauled to the post from five
to ten miles, and is rapidly being con-
sumed. Fort Concho is garrisoned by
'•the colored troops who fought no-
bly." A letter from a hunter says;
About six miles up Kiowa Creek we
saw buffalo by hundreds, shot a few
and established camps. Our hunting
ground was on the " divide " between
the heads of Kiowa and Sterling creeks.
North, south, east and west of us could
be seen the carcasses of buffalo but re-
cently killed. Hundreds had been killed
for the beef and hides, and hundreds
for their hides alone. At the head of
Kiowa creek we found Mr. Wiley
Poe, of San Saba county, in winter
quarters. He is engaged in curing and
shipping buffalo beef and hides. On
the "divide" about fifty miles above
Fort Concho, we found the buffalo by
thousands, and in a few days time had
killed about 150 fine, fat beeves, and
loaded our wagons with the choice
pieces. Concho and Kicakapoo creeks,
a distance of about twenty miles, is as
lovely a country as any one could wish
to look upon, but destitute of timber,
except scattering mesquite trees, fine
mesquite grass, but no water from one
stream to the other. The country on
either side of the Kickapoo is desirable
as a stock country, water and grass in
great abundance," and some timber
along the stream for shelter. From the
Kickapoo to the head waters of Brady's
creek is a high rolling prairie country,
with occasional mottes or groves of
live oak timber, but without any last-
ing water. From the upper waters on
Brady to within ten miles of San Saba,
is emphatically a stock country, there
being grass, water and sufficient timber
for shelter. About forty miles above
San Saba, we began to see post oak
timber and some sign of farming.
waller county.
Hempstead Courier; Four hundred
head of hogs passed through Hemp-
stead on the 17th inst. for the St. Louis
market, they were shipped by Mr. Hugh
O'Reiley, and were the finest lot of
hogs we liave ever seen in Texas....
Messenger: Several of the largest plant-
ers in the vicinity of Hempstead are
preparing to cultivate sugar this season
on a somewhat'extensive scale. Those
conversant with the subject tell us there
is more "sugar land" in Texas than in
Louisiana, and we hope the day is not
far distant when the sugar crop of the
State will exceed that of Louisiana in
its palmiest days.

Qentaur
[iniments.
One Kind for the Haman Family.
The Other for Horses and Animals.
These Liniments are simply the wonder of
the world. Their effects are little less than
marvelous.
The Wlilte Liniment is for the human
familv. It will drive Rheumatism, Sciatica
and Neuralgia from the system; cure Lum
bago, Chillbl \ins, Lock-jaw, Palsy, Itch, and
most Cutaneous Eruptions; it extracts frost
from frozen hands and feet, and the poison of
bites and stings of venomous reptiles; it sub-
dues swellings, and alleviates pain of eyeir
kind. When sprains or bruises occur, it is
the most potent remedy ever discovered to
heal the mjnred parts. The Centaur Lini-
ment is used witn great efficacy for Sore
Throat, Toolbaehe, raked Breasts,
Ear-ache and Weak Back. The following is
but a sample of numerous testimonials:
"Indiana Home. Jeff. Co., Ind., )
May 28, 1873. I
41 think it my du*y to inform you that 1
have saflTered much with swollen feet
and chord*. A few bottles of Centaur
Liniment has done the work for me. I
have not been free from these swellings In
eight years. Now I am perfectly well.
The Liniment ought to be applied warm.
•* BENJAMIN BROWN."
The proof is in the trial. It is reliable, it is
handy, it is cheap, and every family should
have tne White Centaur Liniment.
The Yellow Centanr Liniment is
adapted to the tou^h muscles, cords and flesh
of horses and animals. It has performed
more wonderful cures in three years of Spa-
vin, Strain. Wind-galls, Scratches, Sweeny,
and General Lameness, than all other reme-
dies in existence. Read what the great Ex-
pressmen say of it:
44 New York, January, 1874.
44 Every owner of horses should give the
Centaur Liniment a trial. We consider it the
best article ever used in our stables.
^4\H. MARSH, Supt. Adams Ex. Stables.
44 E. PULTZ, Supt. U. S. Ex. Stables, N. Y.
44 ALBERT 8. OUN, Supt. Nat. Ex. Stables,
N. Y.
The best patrons of this Liniment are Far-
riers and Veterinary Surgeons, who are con-
tinuallv using some Liniment. It heals Galls,
Wounds and Poll-evil, removes Swellings, and
is worth millions of dollars annually to Far-
mers, Livery-men, Stock-growers, Sheep-
raiders, and those having horses or cattle.
What a Farrier can not do for $20 the Cen
taur Liniment will do at a trifling cost.
These Liniments are sold by all dealers
throughout the country. They are warranted
by the proprietors, and a bottle wfll be given
to any Farrier or Physician who debires to
test them.

Honey.
Pitcher9* Caatorla is a complete sub-
stitute for Castor Oil, and is as pleasant to
take as Honev. It is particularly adapted to
Teething and irritable children. It destroys
worms, assimilates the food, regulates the
Stomach, and cures Wind Colic. Few reme-
dies are as efficacious for Feverishness,
Croup, Worms and Whooping Cough. Cas.
toria is a scientific and purely vegetable pre-
paration, more effective than Castor Oil, and
neither gags nor gripes.
Columbia, Conn., Slay 3, 1876.
Messrs. J. B. Rose & Co., N. Y.:
Gents—I have a family of eight children,
and have used as much Castoria as any
family lu the United States. I think. I have
never found anything equal to it. My chil-
dren have been savea from a fever several
times bv the use of Castoria. I recommend
fo
its use for children, for many diseases they
are subject to, in preference to any medicine
I knew of. I feel It my duty to give this cer-
tificate, on account of the benefits I have de-
rived by the use of Castoria.
