has a fall of twentyHie feet in a distance
of 150 yards and a 2500 horsepower ot
water and even when the rher is at its

represses the flow to such an extent as to
furnish a broad expanse of water sev-

miles The noise of the rushing water as
It passes throuah openings in the falls can
be heard for miles The hills surrouud
iDg tbee falls are found to contain bitu-

judgment of the inferior court to be
erroneous Is to seek an early reversal of
that judgment This is especially so
when property of great value is Involved
The land involved in the cts tried was
easily worth I suppose 300000 hree
hundred thousand dollars A day or so
after the disposition of the case I ad-
dressed to the leading counsel for the de-
fendant corporation the following letter
and received the answer which follows it

Col JameB M AndorEon Waco Tex
Dear Sir I hoped to see you again on
Saturday evening before you left the city
but failed to do so I have assumed all
along feeling authorized perhaps by
conversations between u that the case
of the State of Texas vs J M Day et ol
can be taken as soon as possible to the
supreme court taking it to Tyler if it can
be got ready it not taken to Galves-
ton eo that tnere can he an
eariy disposition of it I would suppose
it to be to the interest of the defendant
as well as of the state to have it speedily
disposed of I do not think it wHl take a
great while to get out the records and I
suppose it will take no considerable time
to brief It after the case bas been dis-
cussed to the extent to which it has I
hope that it will suit you to concur with
me in seeking an early disposition of the
case on appeal I am very truly

Hon John D Tcrapleion Austin Tex
Dsar Sir Your favor of 22d received
From the beginning of the above entitled
cauic until the present I have regarded
time as highly essential to the interest of
defendan Eighteen or twenty thousand
cattle growing on grass hung hieh up in
litigation Is much to be preferred to
grass trampled under foot by a declara-
tion of no title made by supreme court
Hence we will agree to no hastening of
proceedings The state is not suffering
and if it were we are in nomnod to hasten
alleviation Truly yours StgnedJ
Jamks M andrrsox
Insead of accepting the proportion
and hastening a decision by the supreme
court to reverse the ruiinz because
wrong an appeal Is taken from the decree
of District Judge Walker to the Twentieth
legislature certainly because his ruling
was right and notice is being served
through the public press of Austin on all
mankind that an application will be
made to the next legislature for the pas-
sage of an act or acts as the case may be
for the relit f of Texas veterans and the
holders of lands located or patented or
eimplv located by virtue of veteran
certiorates in Greer county Tex
The object and purpose and extent of
said act or acts will dc to validate and
confirm to the owner or owners the title
to all jlands in Greer countyTex which
have been located or patented by virtue
cf veteran certificates which have been is-
sued under the act of March 15 18S1
to confirm the title to lands in Greer
county located by virtue of veteran cer
tlficates and which the attorneygeneral
has sought to disturb
Now the atto nevgeneral I may say
here ore for nil hRs never sought to dis-
turb any valid title He has 6imply
sought a judicial unmasking
of the so called paens and
pretended titles which were being used
as I have stated above for mischievous
purposes Why it is proposed to leave
out of the scope of the benevolence of the
legislature the holders of certificates
granted under the vetern act of 1879 is
not disclosed and i is hard to conjrciure
The certificates are as meritorious as
those granted under the act of 18S1 beirg
granted to the same class i f persons and
for the same supposed geivices
In this matter there should be no m s-
take about the meaning of term This
notice speaks of confirming titles and
validating patents Now b < j it under-
stood that there are no titles to con-
firm and no paents to vulidite
The patents aad the cllira of title made
under them are and have always been
void abso ntely unqualifiedly aud nn
conditionall void Void not only a to
tho government but as to all men They
are mere vacuities The pttents are
no evidences of title to anyhing or
against anything An Indian squaw or
her naked pappoose could grant just as
good a title as the pretended patentees
nave The amount of it all is that the
tgislature vrill be asktid to give to the
claimants under the socalled patents the
lands they claim Tae leg slature has
the same right to give it to any other man
ai it has to the pretended pat ntees The
difference between the patevlces and other
men is that the other meu hive not at-
tempted to appropriate the liad iu viola-
tion of plain statutes while the patentees
hive atternp ed to appropriate it in viola
ton of the plain statutes Can the legis-
lature donate lauds to a few lavortd in-
dividuals aud corporations that have been
appropriated to common school purposes
II it cau do so will it What are the
equities of these cltiimints to the land
Tue certificates the location of which
they seek tc have validated were all
ls > ued more than two and onehalf years
after tae reservation of the land
so that there never was a time
when they could have been located there-
on No man procured or bought one of
these certtHcatrs relying on a legal right
to locate it on the land Had tae c > riti
catts been issued first then the land re-
served there might have been some talk
f an equitable claim but that was not
the case Hundreds of thousands c
acres of certificates are outstanding
many of them in thu hands of innocent
purchaser that were issued before the
reseivatlon of Greer county If there
exist an equity a moral right a right in
conscience to locate any certificates on
the land it would seem to be in their
favor rather than of those certificates
coining into existence when the
grantees knew the reservation had long
since been made but no kind ol certili
cates should go there It is a passing
strange state of facts on which to seek to
ground a moral right The land was re-
served locations on it were forbidden
but locations were nevertheless made
and the claimants of those locations now
say to the legislature that because we
nave made the locations in violation of
law we therefore have an equity which
you should mature into a legal right and
protect against disturbance oy the attor
neygeneral Such legislation would be
a most palpable premium paid in-
land for violating the ltws
of the country Eqiities are not
made ef such question bhsinfl It may-
be that some cf the certificates ar
Ijarred so that they cannot bs located
Sow elsewhere but other equally merito
rious certificates arc likewise barred and
it Is perhaps cot in he power cf tne
legislature by this indirect method to
revive a barred certificate
To make a legislative grant of several
hundred thousand acres of land to the
holders oi barred certificates is plainly
removing the bar and giving vitaliy to
those dead certificates but when a Certi-
ficate is barred it is according to the
constitution forever barred for pur-
poses of acquiring land
As to the ownership of Greer county
it is believed to belong to Texas and its
situation makes it physically a rnrt
of the state Mo Indians have
ever been located within la territorial
limits They appear to have been stu-
diously kept off of it in locating the
tribes and fixing their boundaries For
the United States government to wrangle
about this small spot of earth with one
of the states is Indeed like great Her-
cules whipping a pig Should the land
be left to good faith actual settlers and
tillers of the soil without profit to the
state or to sptculators in its disposition
the question would work out perhaps
its ovn solution The general govern-
ment would then derive as much benefit
from the land as the state of
Texas and the good of the state
would be the good of the gen-
eral government I am supposing that
there is no Indian right to stand in the
way of the veteran certificates generally
I will say the safety of many of them de-
pends on their eluding judicial scrutiny
Now sir in conclusion let me say that
in acjthing I have written it has not
been my intention to charge willful mis-
conduct on the part of the commissioner
of the general land office He has simply
been mistaken in his construction of the
laws Many meu before him have been
so mistaken and many such mistakes will
no doubt hereafter be made by others
Now If vou are as tired of reading as I
am of writing you are ready for me to
quit Rspectfully

the past year In an editorial analysis it
says In manufactures the results are
magical and marvelous The number of
manufacturing establishments in the
state has advanced from 1230 in
1SC0 to 32f2 in 1886 The capital
nvested has increased from S693175S to
521327 970 The number of hands em-
ployed wa 33378 in 188G against 6901 in
1860 and 8140 in 1870 The value ot pro-
ducts is 829951631 The cotton m lis
give employment now to 498SU persons
It Is estitnateo that the value of acricul
ttiral and garden products for 1886 wns
844109501 and the value ot corn alone
nearly half the value of the cotton crop
There is food for thought in this
and there is still more in the
table which gives the gross value per
acre of the principal crops lu the state
Cotton is no longer king at least In South
Carolina Irish potatoes lead the list
with a value of 88 per acre as against
S12 for cotton
The Incime of the people of the state
from agricultural productions in differ-
ent branches of manufactures and from
the mine and quarries amounts to 50 per-
cent more than in i860 when the slave
system was snppcsed to make the statu so
prosperous
