The Nacogdoches News comments on
the unpleasantness between Turkey and
Russia. The Lynn Flat correspondent
of the News sounds the rallying cry of
prohibition on the pending election on
local option in Nacogdoches county.
He paints the insidious approaches of
intemperance and the narrow partition
between moderate drinking and drunken
habits. The one drink more is what
plays the mischief. Little drops of wa-
ter from the mighty ocean and little
sips of brandy make the great gulf in
which so many sink their lives, fortunes
and their sacred honor. He says few,
if any, become drunkards, intentional-
ly, but the victims are carried on by im-
perceptible steps, until despair usurps
the place of reason, and the inebriate
seeks to drown memory and remorse in
drink. Then he quotes some poetry
which tells how fiends may laugh at the
victim, but the intelligent printer puts
an r in fiends and thus asks the friends
of the lost soul to laugh at its doom.
Editorially, the News says:
This paper is out and out in favor of
local option, and it is believed that
when the question is fairly canvassed,
beyond all doubt whisky hereafter will
become a mistaken luxury very difficult
to be obtained in Nacogdoches county,
and it is hoped that this great cause
will be espoused and defended by the
legal fraternity and whisky venders of
this county with the same zeal and
success as was done by our sister coun-
ty, San Augustine.
The Granbury Vidette bcs seme re-
marks on "Cheap Public Servants,'
especially referring to the present com"
pensation of county judges, and inti"
mates that the many resignations of
good judges which have taken place
will lead to filling their places with in-
competent or unreliable men. The Vi-
dette speaks of the reluctance of county
courts to levy special taxes, and calls
on the people to petition for the imposi-
tion of such as are actually necessary
to provide proper county buildings
with fireproof safes, etc. Then the Vi-
dette has a word to correspondents,
which, of course, and let it not be for-
gotten, has no application to anybody
but those who send contributions to
that paper:
In about nine cases out of every ten,
those persons who take sudden notions
to write communications for the Vidette
either have some little private ax to
grind or personal malice to gratify.
Just think of this as you go along, and
should you desire to furnish us with
correspondence, write something of in-
teiest to the general public and advan-
tageous to your neighborhood We are
publishing a paper for all the citizens
of Hood county, and desire to do all the
good we can.
The "Waller county Courier has some-
what to say of the extras growing out
of the erection of the court-house at
Hempstead, and makes out a case that
the county commissioners seem called
on to explain. The Courier says $9950
was the original contract. Now (and
the court-house is not half finished) the
sum is run up to $11,200. The Courier
calls for a pause in these extra allow-
ances.
The San Antonio Herald prints a
communication from F. C. Dell, a jus-
tice of the peace in Maverick county,
which lies immediately on the Rio
Grande, Eagle Pass being its county
seat, and the important military post,
Fort Duncan, lying in the immediate
vicinity. Mr. Dell transmits a notice
given by him to stock-raisers of West-
ern Texas of recaptured stolen stoc*
from Mexico, which was turned over to
him and receipted for, free of office
charges, to recross to this side of the
Rio Grande, having been recaptured by
the Mexican forces near Saragoza, and
voluntarily returned to Texas. The
Mexican Colonel F. Garcia assures the
people of Western Texas that as far as
his authority and aid will permit any
property that may be stolen by Mexican
or Indian depredators on Texas soil
from Mexico will be restored to the
owners, and invites any person or per-
sons in Texas who have been depreda-
ted on by hostile Indians or thieves
from Mexico to give him such informa-
tion as will enable him to intercept and
bring the offenders to justice. The
Herald expresses much gratification at
this circumstance, and remarks:
These kindly relations between the
officials of either nation is the brightest
augury for the future, and should be
responded to by the Texan authorities
and by the people of Western Texas,
fully, cordially, and in the best »f
faith. Co-operation will work success,
and every encouragement should be
given to the efficials and people of
Mexico for their every effort for the
preservation of life and the security of
property.
That sly humorist, the local of the
Herald, says:
The excursion to Galveston comes off
on the last day of this month, and the
excursionists will be absent four days.
By the way, the Galveston gentlemen
who came up here on the excursion
are so much pleased with the treatment
they received that they have regularly
organized themselves to make the San
Antonio people blush. We predict
that when our people get back from
Galveston, ana the roll is called, about
half of them will be found to have
been left behind at the Island City,
so well pleased will they be with being
guests.
That usually prompt and welcome
visitor, the Rockport Transcript, fails
to reach the News this week—a fact
which it regrets to find accounted for
as follows by the Corpus Christi Free
Press:
Our esteemed contemporary of the
Rockport 1 ranscript, Mr. C. F". Bailey,
has suffered a sad bereavement in the
death of one of his children, and to add
to his sorrow his wife is dangerously
ill, and her recovery reported doubtful.
The San Saba News seems to think
that there is some foundation for the
statements that a movement is on foot
in this country to organize a force of
men, with officers and equipments, to
assist ex-President Lerdo, of Mexico,
to regain his lost position. As that pa-
per intimates, no surer way could Tie
found to unite all parties in Mexico
than the invasion of the country Iby
foreigners.
The Corpus Christi Free Press states
a series of propositions to convince
young men of the importance of the
duty to go West and grow up with the
sheep:
Without sheep there would be ao
wool; without wool there would b* no
wool market; with no wool market ao
wool could be pulled over anyone's
eyes—eh? Hence, it is clearly to be
seen that sheep-raising is an important
industry. Sheep are encouraged with
tobacco dips and change of pasture
that their days as well as their wool
may be long in the land of Nueces.
Even the impulsive butt of the belli-
gerent ram is regarded only emotional
playfulness, so accustomed are we to
admire the animal that contributes so
much to the general prosperity.
Then the Press tells the advantages
sheep have over cows and horses:
Sheep will wrestle with the nutritious
mesquite grass and Jsucculent cactus,
growing more valuable day by day.
They escape the speculative cupidity of
the itinerant horse and cattle thief;
their fleeces are so many sight drafts on
New York, without the necessity of a
"drive." From a small beginning a
few years ago, sheep raising in West
Texas has assumed huge proportions.
The wool clip last year handled in Cor-
pus Christi alone amounted in round
numbers to six million two hundred
and seventy-one thousand pounds.
After a good deal more to the same
purpose, the Press repeats the invita-
tion to young men to go as far west as
Corpus and grow wool.
The Statesman says a brief of 800
manuscript pages has been forwarded
from Guadalupe county to the Su-
preme Court. Pass it down to the heel
of the docket.
The Lockhart News-Echo says Lan-
ham & Mohle, of that town, received
from New York the other day a roll of
"morocco " leather, upon which could
still be seen the identical brand put up-
on it by a Caldwell county cow-boy.
The hide was sold in Texas for about
ten cents per pound, and after being
manufactured into leather brought
twenty-five cents per foot. Yet West-
ern Texas is full of sumach, oak, and
other tanning material, and might ship
tanned calf, goat and theep skins in al-
most unlimited quantities, with a little
enterprise.
The fiends of the sanctum have found
a way to commit a worse crime than
stealing the exchanges and making a
spittoon of the editor's hat, in Nacog-
doches, although he is one of the most
amiable of the tribe. He says:
Friends and foes, neighbors and ac-
quaintances, all are invited to our office
from early sunrise till the setting of the
same, and we promise they shall all be
kindly treated—upon one condition—
and that is, that they will not carry
away our pipe. Some great man with
a little conscience took our pipe and
we are in a bad fix.
The Granbury Vidette makes the
oracular announcement that "the
whole country will ultimately find out
that no sound fruit can come from the
tree of fraud," and in the next para-
graph says:
By the removal of the troops from
the State-house in South Carolina,
Hayes declares Hampton legally elect-
ed and himself a fraud.
The Vidette endeavors to ward the
blows of the little hatchet of the Co-
manche, Chief from the devoted heads of
our delegates in Congress, and remarks
of the Chief:
That paper stands alone in its seme
less warfare, and is destined to reap
no benefit from ils petty attacks upon
our representatives. The people of
Texas are capable of judging of the
acts of their public servants. It is
very generally acknowledged that Texas
has an able delegation in Congress,
the Chief to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. And as for Throckmorton being
the tool of railroad monopolies, if his
advocacy of national aid for the Texas
Pacific places hira in the light of a tool
to that company, we think none the
less of him for it. Houston, Rusk,
and others of the fathers of Texas, were
in the same category. The completion
of the Texas Pacific is advocated by
many of the best statesmen of the day,
among whom is Hon. Alexander H.
Stephens, who is improving In health
and hopes to take part in the extra ses-
sion of Congress in June. Mr. Stephens
thinks that the bill can be so framed
as to protect the government from loss.
With all its paint and feathers, 'twill
be a long, long time before the scalp of
James Throckmorton is dangling at the
girdle of the terrible Chief.
Many of the interior papers have ac-
counts of the opening of the splendid
new hotel, the Tremont, at Galveston.
It is by far the finest hotel building in
Texas.
The Dallas Commercial says it is the
opinion of some of the best lawyers in
that city that the election on Saturday
was not legal, on account of it being
held on a legal holiday.
The Commercial says:
A short time ago the Republican
newspapers were filled to the brim and
running over with " Solid South,"
"rebel claims " and " Confederate cut-
throats;" now they are blossoming with
"our Southern friends," "the Liberal
Democrats of the South," "our South'
ern brethren."
The Jasper Netcs-Boy gets off the fol-
lowing original aphorism for the times:
" Better be upright with poverty than
unprincipled with plenty." Try to re-
member this when the dinner-pot is
empty.
The Dallas Mail begins to be censo-
rious. It complains because "Texas
has wheat lands as extended and as pro-
ductive as any on the globe, yet she
imports llour in barrels;" and "Texas
has 3,000,000 milch cows, yet she im-
ports milk in cans." But the chief
complaint of. the Mail, in addition to
its general denunciations of ex-Gov.
Throckmorton, is that Gov. Hubbard
has appointed special and able counsel
to represent the State in the prosecu-
tion of Abe Rothschild, charged with
the murder of a woman in Marion
county, Texas. In Cincinnati his
wealthy relations long resisted and de-
feated Gov. Hubbard's demand for the
accused in order that he might be tried
by the laws of Texas. The murdered
woman was not of the fairest fame
but there was no excuse for the mur
der, which was one of the most cold
blooded and deliberate ever committed
in Texas. The Mail asks:
What prompted this action on the
part of Gov. Hubbard? Was it par-
tiality for prostitutes or his antipathy
for the Jews?
Less worthy grounds for attacking
the Governor for the determination to
see the laws enforeed, notwithstanding
the money and array of legal talent
brought to the defense of the accused,
could not have been found. There is
no reason why this appeal to the sup-
posed prejudice of a leading element in
the population of Texas should be
made. Nothing is more rare than that
a Jew should be charged with murder
and there is not the slightest ground
for believing that the Governor would
be more willing to prosecute one than
a man of any other denomination, or
that the Jews would shield one born in
their own faith from the penalty of
crime sooner than the great mass of
malefactors who disgrace the name of
Christian. It is the wealth of the
Rothschild family that has been felt
and is feared in this case. Our laws
against murder are drawn from the
Jewish code, delivered by the Almighty
to the great leader of the children of
Israel. It would be well if other de-
nominations broke them as seldom, or
were as willing to punish those who of-
fend them, as the Jews.
The Pittsburg Magnet says that Col.
Culberson, in his speech at that place,
completely vindicated the course of the
Democrats in Congress who voted for
the Electoral cocamission, and showed
that they were actuated not only by the
truest patriotism, but also by the
soundest wisdom. The Magnet adds:
The whole country owes these Demo-
crats a lasting debt of gratitude for sav-
ing the United States from anarchy and
war. And though demagogues may
strive to sully their fair fame and a
thoughtless rabble may join in the vitu-
perations, the great hody of the people—
true patriots in all parts of the Union—
will approve their conduct and clothe
them with honor.
The Hearne Argus promises hereafter
to devote its columns mainly to the
local news of its town and county, and
says:
The day has gone by when the peo-
ple looked into their county paper—
published weekly—for all the political
and telegraphic news of the day. More
particularly is this so with regard to
communities situated on the important
lines of railway, such as ours. We re-
ceive the Galveston Daily News at
4 r. m. the same day it is published,
and nearly every one in town subscribes
for it; so to the News we leave the dis-
semination of telegraphic and political
news, only reserving the right to take
issue with it when we think its doc-
trines unsound.
COMMERCIAL.
NEWS OFFICE, I
Wednesday Evening, April 25,1877. i
Although the rain was almost incessant
during business hours there was some busi-
ness done and. some shipments were made
late in the day, but as a rule goods were held
over.
Coffee is firm at an advance and the demand
has improved considerably. Sales to-day in-
clude 300 sacks to St. Louis on telegraphic
order. A bid was on the same lot from a New
Orleans house, and would have been accepted,
but almost simultaneously with its receipt
came the St. Louis telegram offering a higher
figure, which the importer quite promptly
accepted.
Cotton is down again, and the whole line is
lower from Liverpool down, spots and futures.
The 50 per cent, falling off in receipts is not
being realized.
Russia and Turkey are actually at war at
last. With the immense stocks at principal
points on top of the facts cited, forms too
heavy a burden for cotton to bear, and cotton
is nick.
Hides are higher, and t here is some little
excitement in the market.
Wool is quiet, very little doing, but prospects
of a large business during the coming month
are promising.
MB. MORGAN S OPINION OF HIS PUR-
CHAfeES.
Mr. Morgan has stated positively to a New
York reporter, that in buying a controlling in-
terest in the Central road he assumed none
of its debts, and no one could say that he ever
suggested doing so. The road, in his estima-
tion, is valuable property, well able, with
proper management, to meet its expenses.
But its debts are very heavy—much heavier
in fact than he supposed when he made his
purchase—and he says that it will require
careful, earnest support from its managers
and patience at the hands of its creditors
before it will recover the ground lost in the
past.
NEW YORK DRY GOODS MARKET.
Saturday's advices from New York report
on the buain<lirof the week as follows:
Brown Sheetings were in fair demand when
offered at prices, but bleached cottons re-
mains quiet. Denins, dyed ducks and cheviots
were in moderate request and steady at rul
ing quotations. Tickings were lightly 4ealt
in, and corset jeans and cottonades were
quiet.
Print cloths were dull and nominal at about
4c. for extra 64x6*s and 3J^c for 56x60s. Prints
remained inactive, and Alien's fancies w*re
reduced to 6c., as were Oriental shirtings.
Ginghams were in moderate request in dress
styles and staples, but fancies were quiet.
An auction sale of French goods was very
successful, and cashmeres, tamise cloth, etc.,
realized decidedly better prices than of late.
Housekeeping linen goods were in steady but
moderate demand and firm.
Several of the leading agents, having opened
their autumn stocks of fancy cassimeres,
suitings, worsted coatings, effected considera-
ble sales to the early clothing trade, and there
was a little more spirit in the demand for
choice sytles of light-weight cassimeres and
suitings.
The entire stock of Gloucester and Mohawk
ginghams manufactured by the Gloucester
Gingham Mills was sold at auction on Thurs-
day at an average of about 7c —fully as good
a price as could have been obtained at pri-
vate sale, though low as compared with the
cost of production.
- The jobbing Arm of Rothschild & Heymann,
of New York, suspended payment, with lia-
bilities of between $200,000 and $300,000.
COTTON.
The Liverpool spot market ruled dull
and unchanged, with sales of 7000 bales,
including 5750 American and 10C0 for export
and speculation. The imports were 32,000
bales, of which 21,000 were from American
>orts. The market for arrivals opened 1-3
-16. lower, and closed steady.
The New York spot market opened weak,
declined %c during the day, and closed quiet
at the reduction, with sales of 615 bales to
spinners. Futures opened easy and closed
quiet but steady, with sales of fc2,200 bales at
a decilne of about >£c as compared with yes-
terday.
The New Orleans market opened quiet and
closed irregular and easy, with sales of 3500
bales at unchanged prices.
The net receipts at the outports for the day
aggregated to 7033 bales, against 4539 for last
Wednesday, and 3482 for the corresponding pe-
riod last season. The stock at all United
States ports, as made up this evening, is 585,978
bales, against 539,797 for the same day last
year.
There was but little doing in this market,
and sales of but 402 bales were reported, in-
cluding 135 taken after change yesterday.
The Exchange marked down prices %c. on
all grades except low ordinary, and bulletins
the market as closing " weak.
P. S.—After change a sale of 300 bales for
foreign account transpired, which will be in-
cluded in to-morrow's official report.

Galveston Statement.
This This
New York dat$s to the 2lst report of Texas
wools that " Western continues easy in price,
but the demand is rather limited. Sales had
been made during the three days previous of
3800 pounds Eastern and 15,000 pounds West-
ern on terms reserved."
In this market there was very little done to-
day in consequence of the bad weather. A
few parcels sold at prices within the range
of quotations, which are retained.
Eastern and Northern fine and medium free
of burs, 20©24c.; do burry, 12® 17c.
Eastern and Northern coarse, 14®16c.;

Western and Southern fine, 17<a20c.; me-
dium. 14(&16c.; coarse Western and Mexican,
10<&13c.
The New York Shipping Lift of Saturday
says of California wool:
New spring is arriving in more liberal quan-
tities, and meets with some attention. Fall,
however, is dull, owing to the absence of de-
sirable grades. We note sales of 30,000
new spring, and 5000 lb. pulled, on private
terms.
HIDES.
Another advance occurred to-day. The
war news has caused some little tlurry in New
York. On the 18th Brooks, Dewson & Co.
quoted dry Texas at 17@19c. currency, se"
lected—weights 20(&26 lbs.; Texas rough upper
leather stock, 8@11 lbs., 16@17c. currency,
wet salted Texas, 50®70 fl">s , knife to pulled
9® 11c. Further reports of last week's busil
ness in the New York market include sales of
Texas stock as follows:
19,000 Texas dry, 22@26 lbs., at 17@,18^c.
currency, cash to 4 months; 1950 Texas dry
kips, 10 it»8., at 16^»® 17c. currency. 60 days.
The stock in New York was 185,700 hides
and kips and 35 bales Calcutta buffalo. Same
time last year: 4a,300 hides, and 673 bales
East India.
This market is fairly active and prices
have advanced. Heavy flint, 23 to 26 lbs.
average, would command 17%c., but receipts
are light of such weights.
Dry-selected, 17c.; light salted, 15c.; stack
salted 13c.; damaged half price; kips 13c.
Glue stock. 62.; dry calf skins, & pounds
and under, 8c. Wet salted, as they run, 7%c.;
selected, 8^£®8%c. Butchers' green 6c.
Deer skins, 14c. Dry salted sheep skins, se-
lected full wool, 50<&55c.; half wool, 40c;
shearlings, 15c.
A large accumulation was offered to-day,
and 18c. bid for the selection of heavy
weights "free on board," but the offer was
not accepted.

WOOl.
The result of the experiment in San Fran-
cisco of an auction sale of wool, which it was
feared would prove a failure, ha* proved quite
the contrary, and the prices realized were in
some instances above the current prices in
open market. There were about 2C0 persons
in attendance, and purchases were made by
local buyers, though it is understood that
several Boston and other Eastern firms were
represented. The bidding was spirited, and
the whole line sold within an hour.
The bulk of consignments brought from 13
to 18^ cents. One lot of eleven bales brought
20 cents, and another of thirteen do., very
fine, 28. A lot of nine bales Australian cloth
ing sold for 36^ cents, and one lot of twenty-
three bales Australian combing for 89 oentB,
Some poor lota sold down to 9 and 3^

Persons owning lands in Texas should re-
member that the present tax laws of this
State require the punctual payment of all
taxes in the counties where situated, and
those who neglect or refuse to comply will
have their lands sold for taxes and will either
be compelled to redeem them at great trouble
and expease or lose them entirely.
I have superior facilities for having lands i

of taxes will commence. Those desiring my
