THE CITY.
Dead Dos.
A defunct canine wax found on the
corner of Market and Twenty-second
streets yesterday morning, and was re-
moved by the health officials.
New Cases.
The District Clerk, David Wakelee,
Esq, reports that since the last term
there have been two hundred and sixty-
three new cases filed in his office for the
next tern, which will commence on the
"last Monday of this month, the 29th.
In Distress.
Mrs. Wolff, wife of Capt. Tom Wolff,
the pilot who was on board the city of
Waco when she burned, is very tick at
the house of Capt. Sawyer, where she
has every necessary attention. She is
prostrated from nervous anxiety concern-
ing the fate of her husband.
Weather Report.
The maximum temperature yesterday
was 07 ; minimum, 51. The wind was
from the northeast at 6:34 A. M.; north
at 10:40 A. M., and changed to south at 2
p. M., remaining so through out the day,
and to 9 P. M. The average rate of ve-
locity was 8 miles per hour. The average
barometric reading was U0.143. Tempera-
ture of the water in the bay at 8 P. m.,63.
The Atiatrallau.
Messrs. Walthew & Co. received a let-
ler from Capt. Peter, yesterday, stating
that the Australian is in fifteen feet
water, and that the first high tide would
enable the wrecking tug Belief, which
has arrived, to tow her into deep water.
From present appearances the Australian
will soon be herself again. She will be
taken to New Orleans for repairs, prob-
ably, and may yet be in time for the
business of this season.
Government Steam Launch.
The new steam launch screw propeller
to be used by Captain Quinn at the
harbor works has been set afloat, and
now lies at Kuhn's Wharf, where she
will receive the finishing touches and her
machinery, which embraces a ten-horse
power oscillating engine. The little
vessel is a perfect beauty, and sits upon
the water as trim and gracefully as a
yacht. She Ib a credit to home manufac-
ture, and was built by J. F. Crosby. Her
dimensions are : length, 41 feet; breadth
of beam, 0 feet; depth of hold, 4 feet.
Disorderly Houses.
The Recorder has decided that the
city ordinances contain no provisions
against disorderly houses, but only pun-
ish the permitting of disorder in a house.
This is a nice distinction on the part of
the city law makers, and aff irds a loop-
hole under which the keepers of gam-
bling houses, bagnios, etc., can escape
prosecution by the city, provided they
manage to keep down actual disorder
within their places.
The State law, however, is different,
and under the statutes a prosecution can
be had for keeping a disorderly bouse.
Personal.
Mr. Julius Frederich has returned to
the city after an absence of several
months in Germany.
Mr. T. T. Uammage, associate editor
and correspondent of the Palestine New
Kra, paid the News office a call yester-
day.
Mr. J. K. Fisher,Treasurer of the Gal-
veston, Houston and Henderson Hail-
road, and family, returned to the city
yesterday.
Gen. Albert G. Blanchard, of New
Orleans, is engineer in chnrge of the
improvement of lied Fish Bar. He is
now stationed on the work.
About the City.
Hamblea and Observations of a
Metlectlve Keporter.
galveston A southern SEAPORT.
The Gulf City takes rank among the
few important seaports of the far South.
While essentially cosmopolitan in its
population, embracing quite a full repre-
sentation of all the nationalities com-
mon to American cities near the staboard,
its citizens of American origin are by
far in greater part of Southern birth,
instincts, sympathies, and peculiar char-
acteristics Georgia, Alabama, Missis-
sippi, Louisiana, the Carollnas, Tennes-
see and Virginia, have each and all fur-
nished quits a full quota of our people.
Every great section of the Union, and
every State, has its marked peculiarities.
In pronunciation, and idioms and modes
of expression, as well as in foreign
brogues, no little diversity is conspicu-
ous.
Under the pressure of misfortune in
these days of pecuniary wreck, the true
native, genial and lofty soul of many in
every part of the once renowned South,
is obscured under a thick cloud. Not a
few examples of this class may be found
in our city. The outside world, in its
eager rush and whirl, intent only on its
own objects, don't take the time to look
beneath the outward appearance, and
consider the man of high, beating heart,
hidden from the superficial gaze—not to
mention some too shallow pated for such
examination. The point to be impressed
is, that Galveston is eminently a South-
ern city, in full, earnest and glowing
sympathy with Southern progress,
prosperity and glory. There may
be 'persons in some parts ef Texas
not duly cognizant of this fact. If so,
let thein be from this day forth disabused
of any false impression on this line, and
receive, with undoubted conviction, the
information now tendered.
The citizens from other portions of
our common country than the South
have their interests, fortunes and hopes
identified with thoBe of the great mass,
and their sympathies of course have re-
ceived correspondent impress and mold
The process of assimilation between all
the heterogeneous and cosmopolitan
elements comprising the population, is
naturally and silently, but effectually
doing its wojk. There is no want of a
just and true sympathy with the South
in her trials in this transition period of
her history on the part of any portion of
our citizens, but in respect to local and
national peculiarities, it is worthy of ob
servation to seethe assimilating cauldron
boiling. Many are, at the first, quite
restive under the fiery transformation.
Some don't like this, and others don't
like that. They forget the exam-
ple of General Scott, who had such a
fancy for the " Irish brogue." This
liking for our neighbor's peculiarities
could as easily be extended to other
thingB as to his " brogue." But such
things sometimes give rise to distaste
and disgust, ventilated in no guarded
terms of criticism. It is for the nonce for-
gotten that man should scan even bis
brother's faults and idiosyncrasies, and
much more the mere externals arising
from place of birth or association, with
a brother's eye. Just here comes in the
responsibility of the lights and leaders,
t" whom society looks up, to give a proper
turn and direction to the general opinion.
And this is the occasion for true, high-
toned Southern influence to manifest its
ancient nobility of spirit, and to show
itself not unworthy of its historic pres-
tige, for the liberal and the magnani-
mous in human character.
Tremont Opera House.
There was a large attendance at the
Opera House last night to witness the
first performance of Duprez& Benedict's
Minstrels in this city. The company is
a very strong and one, and comprises
more talent than is ordinarily met with
in traveling combinations of this charac-
ter. The first part consisted of really
fine music, both vocal and instrumental,
and the ballads, " There's a Letter in the
Candle," by Mr. Frank Dumont; " When
the Moon with Glory Brightens," by Mr.
D. H. Smith ; and " Little Robin, tell
Kitty," by Master Lino, were perfect
musical gems, while the choruses were
admirably rendered.
Mr. Frank Kent made a great hit in
women parts, and won several encores ;
and Messrs. Fox and Ward completely
took the house by storm with their
double song and dance acts and brilliant
clog exercises.
Mr. George H. Edwards is a very fine
banjo performer, and convulsed the
audience with his comical remarks.
The programme was remarkably well
balanced, and embraced several mirth-,
provoking farces, the most comical of
whicb, "Our three visitors," was reserved
for the last, and sent the audience home
in tbe beBt of hnmor
Mr. Duprez is an old minstrel organ
izer, and lias the reputation of being one
of the beat of the many leaders of such
organizations in selecting a troupe which
will blend harmoniously in an evening's
entertainment. It is no flattery to Bay
that the present company will detract
nothing from his established reputation.
There will be a complete change of
programme this evening.
Apropos of the advertising dodger of
Haverley's Minstrels, which represents
Mr. Chas. Duprez as using Mr. Bene-
dict's name without authority, it is but
just to Mr. Duprez to state that he has
in bis possession an agreement, duly
drawn up and signed by Mr Benedict, in
which, for a pecuniary considefetion, he
authorizes Mr. Duprez to use the old
firm name of Drfprez and Benedict for a
certain time, which, Mr Duprez states,
has not yet expired.

Tbe public may not be generally aware
of tbe fact that an investigation has
been progressing at the Castom-IIouse
in this city since Wednesday noon. The
persons who are called to tack are Col-
lector Shields and J. C. Ogle. The
charges are in connection with the ap-
pointment of the latter by the former as

investigation.
Tbe request has been granted, and Mr.
T.J. Kinsella, Special Agent of the U.

He is assisted by Johnson Reed, chair-
man of the county executive committee,
with Joseph H. Wilson, Esq., as counsel.
George W. Paschal, Jr., chief clerk of
the Custom-house, represents Messrs.
Shields and Ogle.
The investigation is being held at the
Cus'.om-house with closed doors, and will
probably be at an end to-day. Quite a
number of witnesses
for both sides have been examined, and
from what can be learned, the agent of
the Treasury is going to the bottom of
everything that p'operly claims his at-
tention in his official capacity.
A reporter of tbe News called yester-
day at the rooms where the investiga-
tion is being held, but could not gain ad-
mittance, as the result is to go to the
Secretary at Washington as soon as
reached, but wt> assured by Mr. Kin-
sella that what he could communicate

politicians who seem to be determined
that the Custom bouse secrets of the past
few months shall come out, for, as they
say, it is due to the party in Galveston.

The reporter learned that the changes

day last in the Custom-house force, weie
as follows : J C. Ogle having resigned the
Chief Inspectorship, which he had held
only a short time, L. W. Stevenson, for

Newspaper reporters in their daily
ventilation of matters In the Recorder's
and other courts, furnish but samples of
the horrible effects of idleness among
the canaille. Too many of this herd are
lost to shame, and publishing them and
their foul deeds is a shot quite over Its
mark. A city work-bouse would be ap-
propriate for such vagrants or obstrep-
erous Individuals in numan form. In-
stead of being supported for a time at
the impoverished city treasury's ex-
pense, in absolute, enforced idleness,
they might be compelled to contribute
by suitable labor to the city's finances.

Every question of any considerable

details of its execution, knotty. But
such problems may be readily solved by
plain, sensible men; to whom it especial-

Smash Up.
A float loaded with twelve bales of
cotton broke down yesterday about 2:30
o'clock, on Market street, near Twenty-
fourth, while crossing the railroad track
obliquely. The right wheel gave way,
and the end of the vehicle protruded
over the track, impeding the progress of
the cars. The cotton was rolled off and
the float removed, and allowed the car
to pass in time to reach the 3 o'clock
train with her passengers.

expenses of living.
It is a general remark that the ex-
penses of living here are high. To be
sure, these may be curtailed or extended,
according to circumstances, but there is,
no doubt, truth in the assertion. But
there is to be noted a favorable improve-
ment durirg the past few years. Once a
small number controlled such articles of
consumption as are termed necessaries,
but thanks to the blessings of competi-
tion, the signs are propitious, and indi-
cate a time when buyers will have their
day and sellers will occupy more of their
time trying to please customers. The
retail trades, especially ordinary mar-
keting, are capable of much improve-
ment in the way of living prices,
and when the well known productive
advantages of tbe island are heralded
abroad tbere may be an enterprising ele-
ment brought hither that will be the
death of high prices of ordinary living.
strange—passing strange.
A writer from the beautiful, romantic
and classic town of San Marcos, in the
October number of that usually excel-
lent periodical, the Texas New-Yorker,
speaks of the " average Galvestonian,
blind »d with the heat and choked by the
dust of that section of Sahara." Now,
while fully concurring with him in the
truth of what he so poetically says of
San Marcos' pellucid stream, coursing
like a silver vein through mountain,
grove and dell," and the other fine
praises of that region and its people, it
is to our mind passing comprehension
how it is that he is so little informed as
to Galveston. This is just a striking in-
stance of the way in which mere guesses
are published in standard and "reliable"
periodicals, in down right unintentional
misstatement, greatly to the damage of
entire cities and sections, whose rights
and interests should be as dear to every
one as his own.
Encircled, as Galveston is, by the
warm, generous waters of the Gulf, with
its beautiful white crested billowB ever-
dashing on the beach, filling the heavens
day and night with their sublime voice
of praise to the Creator ; abounding with
residences adorned with grassy yards,
and embowered in trees of greenest foli-
age, which even winter but partially em-
browns ; with the rural portion of its
island presenting scenes of picturesque
beauty and fertility, with herds of cattle
grazing on its extended prairie-like
grasses; anything that can] be said for
San Marcos and its surroundings, is, in
comparison or contrast, but like the star
that is lost in the blazing flood of light
when the bright star of day loomed up
in the East. Truth is mighty and will
prevail.
worth mention.
A gentleman, having several months
since come to Galveston animo manendi,
but leaving his wife, for the time being,
in an interior city, and losing most of
his clothing by the storm and flood, was
agreeably surprised a day or two since,
by the reception, through Rev. Dr. Bunt-
ing, of a fine lot of clothing, made up
and forwarded by his ever-thoughtful
wife. Ladies of this stamp and metal
take from young men the plea of " I am
not able to get married." " Marry for
love, and work for money," it is to be
hoped will again rise and be all the
vogue and fashion. If it could only be-
come fashionable, it would be all the
rage. It is, indeed, refreshing, that there
are noble souls, true to themselves and
the holy impulses of the human heart
with whom mercenary motives and the
terrors of a false respectability are but
as chaff before the whirlwind.
unemployed labor.
There is nothing like employment
useful, active, steady, energetic, perse
vering employment; not as a task or
matter of drudgery, or only as a source
of pecuniary profit, but from a sense
and inspiration of desire to serve others
and to contribute, in however humble a
way, to society and country. Idleness is
tbe parent, not only of want and haggard
poverty, but of vice and moral wretched-
ness. It iB of paramount importance and
necessity at the very foundation of the
social edifice, that labor be employed.
While it is every man's imperative duty
to make bis own way in the world hon
estly and independently, it were not
amiss If the moneyed men and guardians
of social interests would, in the exercise
of their vigilance for the public weal,
Consider and devise useful en erprises by
which unemployed labor, of which there
is such a superabundant excess in our
midst, might be employed. No incubus
or calamity Is of more fatal consequence
than hordes of stalwart idlers. No
healthy man should be either willing or
permitted to be a permanent idler.
Whenever one finds business unattaina-
ble, after reasonable experiment at one
point, he should at once hie away to
some place where he may have a chance;
never at any time whining, whimpering,
or burdening friends, or even the air,
meant for nobler uses, with puerile com-
plaints.
Galveston is most eligible for cotton
and other manufactories, upon a scale
affording remunerative employment to
large numbers of laborers. The island
below the city offers the finest induce-
ments for dairy, horticultural and agri-
cultural husbandry, where intelligent
and enterprising capitalists might invest
and provide the means of livelihood for
numbers of unemployed poor, as well as
fill their own coffers. Development of
resources and judicious, thoughtful and
persistent application of capital are cry
ing needs of the times. Class jealousies
and envies, or crimination and recrimi-
nation, ad infinitum can not, in any man
ner, meet the exigency. Society is a unit,
the interest of all is the interest of each
oue, and vir.e vrrga. Even the humblest
member Bhould know and feel that he is
an important spoke in the wheel, and
that the eyes of the body politic are upon
him, expecting him to do his duty; and
not only so, but that he is also the object
Found.
The police report that they found a
horse and wagon on the Strand last even-
ing, and brought them to the Station
where the missing property was re-
stored to the owner at a late hour.
Leaving a horse unitcbed on the street
is dangerous business, and great care
should be taken to always see that the
hitch strap is securely fastened.
Quiet.
The city was unusually orderly and
quiet yesterday, and no arrests were
made during the day or night up to mid-
night. If this state of affairs would con
tinne, the City Council wonld be relieved
of tusseling with two very knotty sub-
jects, viz: the new coop for women and
the city work-house.
THE COUKTS.
Criminal District Court.
Gustave Cook, Judge; M. H. Royston,
Clerk ; F. M. Spencer, District Attorney;
Joseph Atkins, Sheriff.
The court met according to adjourn,
ment at 10 A. M„ yesterday.
4058. The State vs. Charles Anderson,
charged with burglary, waB tried to a
jury. The evidence, although circum-
stantial, was admirably linked together,
the property being found in the prison-
er's possession, and he not being able to
give any satisfactory explanation of how
he came by it, while the circumstances
traced it back to the time of the original
taking. On conclusion of the evidence
and the remarks of the counsel, the
Judge delivered a very able charge to
the jury, after which they retired to
their room, and after a short consults
tion returned a verdict of guilty of
burglary, and assessed the punishment
at two years in the penitentiary.
2827. The State vs. Tom Gorman,
charged with perjury, was then taken
up, and after some little delay, a jury
was obtained and empanneled, after
which the indictment was read, to which
the prisoner plead not guilty. A recess
was then taken for one hour.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
At the expiration of the hour (2 P. M ),
the court was again called to order, and
the trial of the Gorman case proceeded,
The evidence was the same as that in-
troduced at the May term of the Court,
when Gorman was tried and found
guilty of perjury, and sentenced to be
imprisoned in the penitentiary for five
years. At the same term of the court a
new trial was applied for and granted
on tbe ground of an omission in the
Judge's charge to the jury ; so this is
the second trial of the case.
The facts as Bhown by the evidence
are as follows : During the summer of
1874 Thomas Gorman was sued by Mr.
Goo*, through Wm. F. Stewart, agent,
for the amount of a claim which Gorman
owed Goos. At the trial, which took
place before Justice Hancock, Gorman
swore that he had paid the amount, and
had also never acknowledged that he owed
the amouot, which statements the prose-
cution claimed were false, and that Gor-
man committed the crime of perjury in
so swearing.
The trial of the case occupied some
two hours, when the jury took the pa
pers and retired to their room, and
shortly returned a verdict of not guilty
whereupon the prisoner was discharged
from custody.
In No. 2890—The State vs. J. F. Kerr—
on motion of the counsel for tbe prisoner
an attachment was ordered to issue for
Pat. Dowling, a material witness for the
defense, who is at present in Harris
county.
4019. The State vs. Charles Porter,
was continued to the next term of the
court, and an attachment issued for John
Dargan, a missing witness, Dargan's
bonds being fixed at two hundred dol-
lars.
2954. The State vs. D. Gotlieb, was set
for Friday, November 19.
4035. Tlie State vs. Billy Helfenstein
was called, and a fine of fifty dollars as-
sessed against a missing witness, and an
attachment issued for bis arrest, the bond
being fixed at two hundred dollars, after
whicti the case was continued to the next
term.
Attachments were also issued for sev
eral absent witnesses in the cases mark
ed 2831, 4060 and 4061, the State vs,
Margaret Taylor.
There being no further business, the
court then adjourned to 10 o'clock this
morning.
The following is the court calendar for
to-day:
2831. The State vs. Margaret Taylor
4007. The State vs. James McDonald

Recorder's Court.
Leslie Thompson, Recorder; E. O'C,
Maclnerney, Clerk; A. H. Willie, Attor-
ney.
Smokey No. 1, charged with disorder-
ly conduct, was ordered to bs confined
in the police office for four hours.
John Hearn, charged with fighting,
was also confined in the police office for
four hours.
The above are young newsboys, and
their infraction of the law being trivial
in its nature, the Recorder did not con
sider that their confinement in the coop
would result in any public good, but
rather the reverse, and not feeling at
liberty to overlook the offense charged
against them, he resorted to this mode of
punishment.
Peter Hall, a colored boy, charged
with disorderly conduct in the market,
was also punished in the same manner
as the two previous subjects ; the Record
er saying that a House of Correction for
the incarceration of these juvenile of-
senders is one of the crying needs of this
city. .
McKinney, who was discharged day
before yesterday on the ground of being
non compos mentitr,, was before the court
again yesterday on the same charge, dis
orderly conduct. He was again released
but was warned that if he is presented
before the court on this charge in tbe
future, he will be treated like any other
offender,
Annie Johnson, a white woman, was
presented before the rail for trial, on a
charge of being indecently drunk and
exposing her person. The evidence of
tbe witnesses was conclusive, and Annie
was fined ten dollars and costs, or seven
days in the old coop. Not having tbe
necessary greenbacks, she was committed
to the old rheumatism breeder.
Jolia Johnson, colored, wss charged
with abusing, insulting and threatening
Wm. Benjamin, and as William testified
very positively to the truth of the charge,
and was corroborated by several other
witnesses, Julia was. in default of pay-
ment of the ten dollars fine and costs,
committed to the odoriferous retreat for
seven days.
John Bell, charged with assault and
battery on a cyprian by the name of
Josie Enright, was tried by a jury, and
being found guilty was fined $5 and
costs, and further required to enter into
a bond in the sum of $ 150 to keep the
peace towards Josie Enright and all other
persons for the space of twelve months.
Joe Beagin, charged with permitting
disorder in his grog shop, was tried by a
jury. The evidence was very full, and
was, as usual, of a very contradictory
nature, and the jury, after listening to
the evidence and the remarks of the
counsel for the defense, the City not be-
ing represented, owing to the absence of
the City Attorney, took the papers and
retired to their room, and returned in a
few minutes with the verdict of not
guilty, whereupon the prisoner was dis-
charged.
George Williams, charged witb theft
hoped to a better land, where delicate
cuticles and plump cheeks are not to be
found.
It is reported by a gentleman residing
near Bayland Orphan Home, that a man
who acted as agent for that institution in
Galveston has appropriated to his own
individual and personal use the funds
collected by him in that city for the use
of the Home.
A splendid frost was visible on the
roofs, the plank crossings, the banquettes,
and on the prairies around the city yes-
terday—the first heavy frost that has
fallen here this season. Not a few of
the rose bushes were badly nipped, and
in the middle of thaday put on tbe usual
cooked appearance after a visit from
Jack Frost.

WM. HENDLEY & CO.
Galveston, Sept. 4, 1875. oc22 fr tu tf
Major G. M. Frazell, formerly City En-
gineer, and a resident of Galveston, and
a gentleman of considerable experience
in his profession, has written a letter to
the Daily Democrat, of Grand Rapids,
Michigan, giving a review of the situa-
tion in Galveston after the storm. After
noting the class of buildings that suffered
most, and the general insecuiity of their
foundations, he goes on to say :
'■ The same storm and hi«h water vir
tually destroyed Indianola, Velasco, Salu-
ria, and Quintana, which proves that
Galveston is the only safe place of im-
portance on the whole coast line. The
storm, instead of impoverishing her fu-
ture, established it aB a place of safety
beyond dispute. You know the situation
of the place. It is elevated but little
above the surrounding country. It is
physically impossible to bank the water
against it, for it would flow off and spread
out on the surrounding prairi-s, which
are broad and large enough to receive
half the waters of the gulf. If the coast
were a bluff the water might be banked
up against it for many feet, and held
there by the force of the wind, as is
often the case in countries where s'eep
bluffs confront the sea, but here it is
blown over and off and finds a level in
the rpar and on either side of Galveston.
Maury, the most scientific physical ge-
ographer that ever lived has announced
that a tidal wave was impossible on the
western coast of the gulf. A tidal wave
requires depth of water to roll in, just
as a ship requires it to sail in ; that is,
more of the water below the surface
than above, to support the superincum-
bent maBS, and any interference with tbe
volume below breaks the support of the
wave and the wave descends from its ele-
vation and spreads out in small billows
The best evidence that the theory is cor-
rect, is that the facts sustained it. There
has never been a tidal wave on this
coast, because its gradually shoaling wa-
ters extend far into the Gulf, and will
trip any wave inclined to re 11 coastward.
High waters are the only inc nvenience
to be considered, and an effective sea
wall or breakwater can be constructed at
small expense, that will make Galveston
as perfectly safe as any city in America.
The construction of such a protection is
only a question of time, for Galveston is
destined to be the commercial gateway
of the New West, that will r<quire a city
of a quarter of a million of people to do
the business of this vaBt rich territory,
whose products must seek this port for
an outlet.
" The damage to property is less than
was reported by our own papers even,
The figures were $200,000, to replace
houses, roofs, etc. It will cost less than
that amount; and now, two weeks after
the storm, there are few evidences left
indicating the violence of the storm.
This, the most severe ever experienced,
injured us a little only, when we had no
protection. We shall probably never
see one of equal violence again ; but,
should it come, with the proper protec-
tion, which il is in our power to give,
life and property will be perfectly safe.
The original hemlock log founda-
tions of Long Wharf at Boston were
unearthed a few days ago, and found
to be as solid as when first put down,
