Loat Opportunity.
The presence of the President of the
United States and the ex-President of
the late Confederacy in St. Louis one
day last week afforded Gen. Grant the
opportunity of doing a most graceful act,
and generous-minded people will regret
that the President failed to take advan-
tage of the happy accident to extend to
the fallen chief the hand of reconcilia-
tion and good-will. Such an act would
have done Gen. Grant more credit than
any he has yet accomplished. It would
have been regarded as a practical recon-
ciliation, and been rejoiced over by right-
thinking people in every section of the
Union.
Speaking of the presence of the two
distinguished persons, the St. Louis
Times says:
The grotesqueness of fate and her orrialn-
mentH were never better Illustrated than by
the accidental presence of these two histori-
cal figures in the same city. Before Presi-
dent (irant was even so much as beard of out-
side of the vilagn where he grew to early
manhood, ex-President Davis had earned a
national reputation as a soldier and states-
man. By reason of his universal recognition
the one was called to the leadership of a great
nation, while yet the other was hinging
around the lobby of an obscure governor for a
lieutenant's commission.
The one had advanced step by step along
the path of preferment, until there was but a
single office at the disposal of the people more
eminent than those he had enjoyed, left to be-
stow upon him. The other, untried and in-
experlenceo, had, up to this time, rarely met
in nis aimless w«^<derine8, a citizen more ob-
scure than himaelfi The genius of accident
waves its wand and ari<»pantly reverses the
position of both. The vetc.i*an statesman
falls and is divested of both station and
power, and the adventurer succeeds *nrt is
elevated to the chief magistracy of the re
stored republic. An exhibition of manliDess
and generosity, as such an overture as we
have suggested would have appeared, could
not have failed to redound to President
Grant's personal reputation, and to the ben-
efit of the country at large. A great man
would never have allowed such an opportu-
nity to pass. A generous man would have
welcomed it as a special dispensation of Provi-
dence. A lommon man would never think of
it. while a small man would never dare to en-
tertain such a proposition, even when sug-
gested. At all events. Hen. Grant has thrown
away a more than golden opportunity.
The News of Sunday will contain a
full riesoriptlon of the building improve-
ments of Galveston, giving cost, size
and style of all prominent buildings
that have gone up in the past year,
showing for whom and by whom
planned and built, and for what purpose.
The article will include business houses
and residences, with a summary of tene-
ments. .
Merchants, builders, architects and
others desiring copies should leave their
orders at the counting room before 0
o'clock this (Saturday) night, and,
it may be remarked in passing, that this
offers a rare opportunity for advertisers.
The article will show the substantial
growth of Galveston during the past
year, and as there is every reason for
congratulation at the progress of our
nourishing city in this regard, the sug-
gestion that it will inure to the benefit
of the city to disseminate the informa-
tion as far as possible cannot fail to com-
mend itself to all enterprising citizens.

For Hie Benefit of the SuRerern.
The suggestion of Rev. Dr. Howard,
that collections be made at each of the
churches to morrow, the proceeds to be
devoted to the relief of such persons re
sident In Galveston as need relief, is one
that will, no doubt, be gladly acceded to
by pastors and congregations. So far
every call for assistance has been imme-
diatelv met, and if the suggestion made
by Dr. Howard is carried out, the sum
realized will be a large one.
The fastest time ever made by

CITIES AND SANDBARS.
It is mortifying to observe the amount
of ignorant journalism which has been
exhibited in connection with the late
cyclone. The New York Herald, makes
an imposing parade of what purports to
be geographical lore and scientific indue"
tion. The only trouble with that journal
is its disregard of accurate information
of what actually occurred, and its pre-
cipitancy in reasoning from events which
never happened to conclusions that are
essentially groundless and preposterous.
As might be supposed, such a paper has
a natural alacrity in stultifying itself.
Here is an example r " The effect," says
the Herald, referring t > the Gulf borders
of Texas, " of the action of the waves
breaking against a low, sandy coast, is to
wash up sand-bara parallel to the shore
line, and these accumulations grow in
proportion to the frequency and fores of
the waves and in the direction of the
prevailing winds." Very well. We
will not quarrel about the word sand-
bar. In a general sense the word applies
to all the insular formations and all the
delta formations, resulting from the
action of the ocean or of rivers. But the
Herald, using the word in some arbitrary
and restricted sense of its own, adds:
" Cities built on Band-barB on the Texas
coast are as certain of ultimate
injury, if not destruction, by storms such
as that which devastated Indianola and
Galveston, as a tall tower built in a dis-
trict subject to earthquakes. They may
escape for half a century, but their fate
is inevitable." Now obviously it makes
a material difference whether a city is
built on a large or a small, a high or a
low insular territory, call it sand-bar or
whatever else you please ; and it makes a
material difference whether a city thus
located is raised above the natural level
and provided with other safeguards de-
signed to give it stability. Is Venice for-
gotten, which rose, so to speak, from the
bosom of the sea, her streets water, her
architecture towering above like a splen-
did exhalation, yet firm as rock and sta-
ble as Alpine cliffs ? Are the great cities
of the Netherlands forgotten ? Their
sites were literally wrested by indomita-
ble courage and energy from the jaws of
the sea. Three hundred years ago ig-
norance glibly asserted that they
would be ultimately swallowed up by
the waters which they presumed to
set at defiance ; it was allowed for
them, as now it is allowed for Galveston,
that they might have a respite of half a
century, but their fate was inevitable.
Nevertheless they grew steadily in
strength and prosperity ; they conquered
all adverse elements; they lived down
every sinister prediction, and now there
is not a seaport of Europe that is con-
sidered more secure than they. Such is
the result, thongh they did not, at the
outset, have the benefit of a foundation
of sand-bar elevated above tide water.
But of course this iB not history, but
fantastic fable, to a journalism which
announces the certain doom of all the
maritime cities of Texas as an infeience
from their location " on sand-bars." No
exception is granted. The rule is inexo-
rable. With equal force of reason it
might be maintained that all who go to
sea in vessels of any description, from
the Great Eistern to the bowl in which
the three wise men of Gotham embarked,
go straight to watery graves because
such was the fate of those three sages.
But the Herald contradicts its own con-
clusion when it speaks of the sand-
bars on the Texas coast as growing
accumulations. There is no question
that they are growths produced by waves
and ocean currents on one side and the
outflow of rivers on the other. The
causes operating in their production are
permtnent, and, consequently, they must
continue to grow with the process of
time, becoming higher, more solid and
more continental in character. Such, in-
deed, is the regimen of most of our
American coast on the Gulf and Atlantic.
It is a making coast. It gains gradually
upon the sea by way of compensation
for what is eaten from the land by the
sea in other quarters. For example, on
some parts of the coast of England it is
estimated that the sea advances on the
land at the rate of two or three feet a
year. Towns which existed some centu-
ries ago have disappeared, and their sites
are now far out under the restless sea.
Along our Texas coast the land advances
on the sea at about the same rate, and
nothing can be more absurdly contrary
to observation and scientific induction
than to attribute instability to the islands
which have grown up along this coast
and are clearly destined to continued
growth.
A new weather prophet, and one
who has more compassion in his inwards
than Professor Tice, who got up the
late storms, has appeared in the person
of an aged citizen of German birth,
named Henry Kroeger, who resides in
Wisconsin. He has kept an eye on the
weather for fifty years, and can prognos-
ticate as well as anybody. He says:
" After the next new moon shows the
last bit of its face, we shall have the
pleasantest autumn we have had for
many years." He goes on to predict
good weather for eight months to come,
where his calculations stop for the pre-
sent. The Chicago Times gives these
predictions for what they are worth,
and presumes that they are worth quiie
as much as the guesses of the St. Louis
savant, albeit Prof. Kroeger makes no
such display of jovial and martial cycles
as his brother professor, and doesn't pre-
tend to know anything about the planet
V ulcan.
Tiie French government has ordered
bread for the army to be made after a
new process. The loss of nutritious
matter by the system of grinding in gen-
eral use is calculated at twenty per cent.
The grain is. first steeped in water, and
then placed in disintegrators made to re-
volve with great velocity, by which the
husks are speedily removed. It is then
formed into thin sponges, and subjected
to heat at 77 degrees Fahrenheit six or
eight hours, after which it is crushed
under rollers, and then made into bread
in the usual way.

regular business.
The regular business was the report
of the committe on the Legislative De-
partment. Section 51 was passed over.
Sections 52 to 55 inclusive were con-
curred in. Section 56 was amended so as
to inhibit the Legislature from granting
charters of railroads or other works of
internal improvements by local or special
laws at tbe end of line 329 ; in same sec-
tion after line 331, the Legislature is
granted power to enact special laws to
protect game and fish. The word here-
after was Btruck out of section 53 ; also
the word express in the last line. Mr.
Crawford moved to amend section 50, bo
that the restrictions on the Legislature,
from passing local or Bpecial laws regula-
ting the affairs of counties, cities, etc., be
applied only to cities of less than ten thou-
sand inhabitants. He stated the neces-
sity which might occur for legislative
authority to a c'ty as large as Galveston
to issuo bonds or collect taxes in cases
of an overflow, for police expense and
other necessary expenditures, whicu
would not apply to small places.
Mr. Reagan opposed this on the ground
that special legislation for cities was
fruitful of expense and otherwise objec-
tionable.
Mr. Crawford contended that such
cities as Galveston, paying bo large a pro-
portion of the State taxes, were entitled
to special consideration, and if necessary,
special legislation. That under his
amendment less than teu cities in the
State would be entitled to special con-
sideration.
The question was then laid over at the
suggestion of Mr. Fiournoy.
Section sixteen was amended in an im-
material particular.
Mr. Russell, of Wood, proposed an
amendment to section 44, prohibiting the
employment of any person in the name
of the State, except such was authorized
by a pre-existing law.
Mr. McCormick objected because it
would prevent the Governor from takiDg
charge of the Penitentiary, and employ-
ing any one to control that institution.
He held that the fact was well ascertain-
ed that the lessees had violated their en-
gagement with the State. The convicts
had not been fed or clothed or cared for
in a humane manner, and it might be
necessary for the Governor to take charge
of it. Now, the law makes it a felony
for him to employ any one in the name
of the State.
The amendment was however adopt-
ed.
Marion Martin proposed a section to
follow section 44, providing that certain
expenses of the Legislature, also the
printing of the laws and journals, shall
be let out by contract to the lowest bid-
ders.
Mr. Moore objected, on the ground
that such provisions have no proper place
in a constitution.
This was laid over for the present.
Mr. Johnson proposed to amend Sec-
tion 47 by adding : " Shall pass laws pro-
hibiting gambling of every character in
all places."
McCormick asked how the word was
spelled ; if " gamboling," he might vote
for it.
The amendment was lost.
Mr Waelder proposed to amend Sec-
tion 43, which was also lost.
Mr. Wade proposed an amendment au-
thorizing the Legislature to levy taxes to
pay the present floating debt of the
State. This wss to be added to line 245,
and was agreed to.
Mr. Henry, of Smith, proposed an ad
ditional section: That the Legislature
shall hold its sessions at the city of
Austin, which is hereby declared the
seat of government.
The Convention then adjourned till to-
morrow.
Gov. Throckmorton and Judge Pren-
dergast were in the Convention Hall to-
day.

WASHINGTON.
Rlgbt ot States to Exact Reports of
or Tax National Banks Denied.
Washington, Oct. 1.—The Comptrol-
ler some time ago transmitted letters
from the First National Bank of Florida,
and tbe Citizens' National Bank of Ra-
leigh, N. C., to the Solicitor of the Treas-
ury, for his opinion as to the right of a
State to impose a license tax on the cap-
ital of national bankn] and also the right
of State officers to examine national
banks, or require reports of their affairs
to be made to them. The Solicitor has
given an elaborate opinion, that a license
on the capital of a national bank can not
be enforced, and that State officers have
no right either to examine or exact reports
from national banks. He says this entire
legislation is at variance with the law as
adjudicated, and subversive and destruc-
tive of the principles governing the re-
lations of the Federal and State govern-
ments.

San Francisco, Cal , Oct. 1.—Naval
Paymaster J. S. Cunningham has ar-
rived, to relieve Paymaster Spaulding.
The Court of Inquiry will assemble on
Mare Island October 5th to examine
Spaulding's account. M. M. Pinney, late
purchasing clerk for Admiral Rogers, of
the Mare Island Navy Yard, states that
he does not know the amount of defalca-
tion. It is supposed to be very large.
Spaulding last night stated that the loss
would fall on individuals not in the de-
partment. Pinney's frauds consistad in
fraudulently filling up certificates for
payment due on contracts which had
been signed in blank by Spaulding, and
hypothecating tbem to certain parties
with notes of responsible parties attached,
and that makers and indorsers be liable.
Spaulding claims he knew nothing of
the transaction till the certificates were
presented for payment.
Another Defalcation.
Louisville, Oct. 1.—It is discovered
that Louis Rheim, who recently robbed

GENERAL NEWS.
The Indian Council.
Red Cloud Agency, Sept. 29, via Fort
Laramie, W. T., Sept. 30.—After the
council met yesterday, when such enor-
mous prices were put on the Black Hills
by the Sioux, the commissioners became
desirous not to submit any proposition
for the purchase of the hills.
At to-day's council a protocol was
drawn by Messrs. Aehby and Lawrence,
and was presented to the chiefs there-
for, which, after reciting Ja desire for
peace, offered to buy the right to mine in
Black Hills for $400,000 per annum, this
right to terminate at any time on one
year's notice by the United States.
2. To purchase the Black Hills from
the Sioux Nation and pay them for their
interests there the sum of $0,^50,000, in
fifteen equal annual installments, said
sums to be annually appropriated for
their subsistence and civilization ; not
less than $100,000 of which shall be an-
nually expended for the purposes of
civilization.
3. The President of the United States
Bhall,under proper restrictions and regu-
lations, designate three routes to the
Black Hill country. It was next pro-
posed to purchasse the Big Horn country
for $50,000, to be paid annually for ten
years, the money to be expended in food
and stock. It was furthermore proposed
that, if the protocol be accepted, $50,000
be expended in presents to be distributed
among the bands. This protocol was left
with the Indians to discusB this winter.
Lone Horn, of the Minneconjous, dis-
turbed the council by riding up aitd
delivering from his saddle a vio
lent speech against the Brules and
Ogallallas for trying to sell his country,
the Black Hills.
Little Wound and Spotted Tail Bpoke,
dwelling principally on their wants
about their agents.
The council closed with bows and
hand shakeB. The Indiana feel insulted
by Lone Horn's conduct, and after the
council they attempted to kill him. He
is hid in the bushes along the White
river.
The commissioners, except Messrs.
Ashby, Lawrence and Swalm, leave on
Thursday afternoon for Fort Laramie.
The Crow Butte Council for the
sale of the Black Hills is ended, and
nothing accomplished.
The Yacht Club Regatta.
New York, Oct. 1.—The "Jfacht Club

Southwest Spit, going and returning
yachts to keep to the southward of buoy
No. 8i, and outside of buoy No. 51, both
ways. The yachts were divided into
two classes for schooners and two for
sloops. There was a silver cup for each
class, and in addition the Mad Cap had
a Bide contest with the Vision for the
Bennett Challenge Cup for sloops. The
wind was light, and tide at the ebb. As
the Estelle crossed the line her fore-
shrouds caught in the main boom of the
Dreadnaught—who was not in the race—
and snapped it off ; her own right was
a little damaged, but she continued on.
The sea outside the Hook was very
rough. The Estelle lost a man over-
board, but was recovered. A little sloop,
accompanying the yachts, also lost a main
overboard ; efforts to Bave him were
fruitless. The Peerless took a header
into a heavy sea, and came out a wreck,
both masts and bowsprit gone. The
Mad Cap broke her chain plates three
miles from the Lightship. Several other
yachts Buffered damage. Only four
yachts were able to Bail tbe entire
course. The Comet, Atalanta, Estelle
and Sadie coming home in the order
named ; the rest were becalmed inside
the H.>ok, while outside it blew a storm.
The Atalanta won the prize for first-class
schooners, Comet for second-class schoon-
ers, Sadie for second-class sloops, uone
in the first class going over the course.
The Bennett Challenge Cup race be-
tween Mad Cap and Vision remains un-
decided.

mands the ft£0ects ol" n Company.
New Haven, Conn.,Oct. 1.—Insurance
Commissioner Steedman appeared at the
office of the American Life and Trust
Company, this evening, and formally de-
manded possession of the effects of the

been advised by counsel that the law un-
der which the Commissioner was called
to act was unconstitutional and void, and

sist the law, but would hold the assets
subject to tbe orders of the courts having
jurisdiction of the legal questions in-
volved.

formed Mr. Noyes that he would apply
to the New London Superior Court to-
morrow for a writ of mandamus, and he

nal law.

More About "The First News from
Galveston."
the houston reporter defined with a legal
maxim.
Eds. News—Kindly allow me a small space
in your columns to answer the 41 card from
the Houston reporter."
I have always been imbued with the feeling
that when a writer for the press intend* his
article to meet the public eye, and in especial
when he discusses in it a matter of import-
ance, his readers should be treated with the
gravity, decorum and respect which he (the
writer) expects to receive in return. In as
few words as possible I not long ago showed
through your paper how and from what data
this Houston reporter dished up '4the first
news from Qalveston," and in your issue of
to-day I notice a desultory, rambling and
would-be witty explanation in reply to my
communication. As you editorially say this
morning, "Mr. Martin has failed to refute or
deny any material statement or inference"
drawn by me; consequently it would be a
trespass on your space should I add anything
to your comment
A strain of buffoonery more befitting and
consistent with the cap and bells of a gesrer
is indulged in by Mr. Martin while reviewing
the grave and important matter at issue. His
veracity is impugned, and he makes light of
his reputation. He asserted, without any
foundation, that the city of Galveston proper
suffered losses to the amount of many mil-
lions, and when called on for his facts and
figures, lo! he has none. He is charged with
sending broadcast over the land dispatches
wanting in the first essential of genuine nows,
and he admits the impeachment unblushingly,
" but hopes he is.wrong in his estimate." His-
torians inform us that Nero fiddled while
Rome was enveloped in a conflagration oc-
casioned by his hand; and while a sister city
to Mr. Martin's is, according to his descrip-
tion, mourning the losses of her silent dead,
counting the millions swept away in the
ocean's wrath, bewailing the havoc to her
wharves, public marts, streets, buildings ,etc.,
occasioned by the dread tempest's fury, he
(Mr. Martin) makes merry.
I am warned to " beware of stationery"
and 41 ambition of seeing my name in print."
Let Mr. Martin believe that no desire lor
fame in connection with a contro-
versy with him on this or any other
subject induced my first communica-
tion. I would indeed be a recreant to my
fealty to my fellow-citizens, and an accessory
after the fact, were I, with a full knowledge
of the means by which the 44 First News from
Galveston " was concocted, to remain silent,
and fail to make the expose that I did. I
sought not fame, but a declaration of the
truth. The poison had been disseminated by
Mr. Martin's hand; mine was the one to ap-
ply tbe antidote. He refers me to the pages
of eminent jurists, and advises their assidu-
ous cdlture. As a proof that his recommenda-
tion is gratuitous, let me inform him that the
following information in substance can be ex-
tracted from them: 44That a person who as-
serts things as of his own knowledge, which
are in fact not true, and could not be known
to him as true, is guilty of falsehood and
fraud, equally with one who asserts as true
that which he knows to be false."
Regretting taking up so much of your space,
and thanking you for it, I am. faithfully, etc.,
_ W. G. IRWIN.
New York Theaters and Texas Suf-
ferers.
New York. Sept, 23, 1ST 5.
Eds. News -As soon as I heard of the suf-
ferings endured by our unfortunate fellow-
citizens, I addressed myself to the work of se-
curing prompt aid for them. I wrote to the
Herald asking them to receive subscriptions
f<>r those injured in Galveston; and since the
news of the more terrible disasters at Indian-
ola and Matagorda, I have taken it upon my-
self to call upon the theatrical managers with
whom I am personally acquainted and ask
their assistance. I did not reckon without
reason, for, as usual, their generous instincts
prompted them to offer immediate aid. Ge-
nial Billy Florence and his charming wife at
once tendered a benefit. Messrs. Fiske &
Daly, of the Fifth Avenue Theater did the
same, and I am assured by other managers
(Messrs. Shook & Palmer, of the Union
Square: Messrs. Jaret & Palmer, of Booth's,
and others.) that they will follow suit.. I also
called upon prominent members of the Cotton
Exchange, and I have no doubt that a large
subscription will ensue. Great sympathy is
expressed for the sufferers, and all that can
be done will be done here.
I had intended starting home on the 20thv
but this labor of love for our unfortunate
fellow-citizens has detained me.
In haste, sincerely, etc.,
TOM OCHILTREE.
A Suggestion.
Eds. News—A. large number of our poorer
follow citizens have lost their all. It is true
that in the aggregate it does not reach any
such amount as has been reported, still it is
the poor man's or woman's all. In many
casesa stove will meet their wants, as it will
enable them to cook their scanty supply of
provisions. In others, a few dollars will pur-
chase their most needed articles. The Relief
Committee are doine all they can, and will
continue to do so. But after what they do
there Is ample room for private benefactions.
Let next Sunday be set apart as the 44 Charity
Sunday" of Galveston. Let collections be
taken up in all our churches on Sunday morn-
ing for the suffering in our city. Let the bene-
factions be liberal and commensurate with
the ability of all classes and the wants of the
poor. Let October 3d be long remembered as
marking a munificent gift from ourpeople.

Honor to Wliom It Is Due.
Eds. News— Our Hebrew fellow-citizens
have responded nobly to the claims of the
suffering. They have done their whole duty,
irrespective of creed or people. We hope that
Rabbi Blum will set apart the first conveni-
ent day to carry out the suggestion to the
churches on Sunday.
