A Register reporter received infor-
mation yesterday that a meeting had
' been held in Paris, Lamar county,
and arrangements made for the early
completion of the Trans-Continental
to that place. To ascertain what
foundation there was for the rumcr,
the reporter sought an interview with
Major Stocking, the division superin-
tendent of the road, and from him
gathered the following particulars :
A propositioh was made by the offi-
cials of the Texas and Pacific to the
citizens of Paris, that if they would
raise the sum of sixty thousand dol-
lars as a loan to the railroad com-
pany, they would give the first mort-
gage bonds of the road at eighty-twb
cents on the dollar as security and as
a guarantee that the road would be
immediately completed to Paris.
They further agreed to let the net
earnings of the road go toward pay-
ing the debt of sixty thousand dol-
lars from the time the money was re-
ceived until the debt was fully satis-
fied.
This proposition was made to the
citizens of Paris by Frank S. Bond,
I vice-president of the road, and he
further promised the road should not
go beyond Paris until the sixty thou-
sand dollars had been refunded in
money. The citizens of that place
immediately held a meeting, and af-
ter the proposition had been thor-
oughly discussed, succeeded in rais-
ing forty-five thousand dollars of the
money. A committee was then ap-
pointed, with instructions to use
every exertion to raise the balance.
Friday night this committee met at
the Farmers and Planters Bank, in
that place, and, after comparing
notes, found that the additional sum
of fifteen thousand doBars had been j
raised. Vice-president Bond was ;
then notified and the contract closed. ’
The World is Governed to MIuch.77
answer the charge.
We can not commend too highly
the actiun oi the aathorities in this
matter. Colonel McClure deserves
credit for his severe treatment of the
which was arrayed against him, and
did not consider its success impossi-
ble. Yet he believed, and still be-
lieves that if the real opinion of the
people could have been obtained his

During the past month Sherman
received by the Trans-Continental
road, 1,927 bales of new cotton. This
is an increase of 495 bales over the
month for 1874. The demand for
cars on the Trans-Continental has
been much greater than the supply.
In fact, the road for a short line, is
doing a splendid business. Its earn-
ins Friday were over $1000, and for
the past month ’$12,000.—Sherman
Register.
Sherman expects to ship 50,000
bales of cotton this season by the
Central railroad.

The Dlas Commercial has the fol-
lowing ;
Mr. Joseph Swain was escorting an
estimable young lady from the Good
Templar Lodge. When near the
Lamar Ho el, they were met by two
meh, named respectively J. W. Cates
and G. W. Curry, who, with hands
joined were walking along, taking up
the whole sidewalk. Instead of giv-
ing way for the ldy nd her escort
to pass, they stopped directly in
front of them, and insisted upon their
passing under their hands, which
they held up in the form of an arch.
The gentleman and lady, desirous of
proceeding on their way without
my disturbance, assayed to do so,
and stooping down proceeded to go
under, when these men brought their
handr down, knocking off the hats of
both the lady and gentleman. Offi-
cers Hamel and Lott, who say the
transaction, immediately arrested
them and took them to the cala-
boose.

Van Horn of the Corsicana Obser-

I went out to the beach to-day, and
the sight is sad to behold. All along
the line of the gulf and for consider-
able distance inland there are
numerous piles of wrecked buildings
in every conceivable shape—Some
screwed around—others blown into
fragments—others laying in piles
of ruin—while others are laying in
piles of ruin-while others were blown
away altogether ; and we were told
that “this ain’t nothing,” (cy a friend)
for said he, “they have been assort-
ing and hauling away lumber and
fixing up ever since the storm.” We
saw an old negro man with an iron
rod probing about the sand, and
ssked him what he was doing, “I’s
huntin’ fur my stove, sar.” We
asked him how he expected to find a
stove hid that way. “Find him easy
puff, sar,” was his answer. “You
see, over dar dat barrel,” (and here
he pointed to a barrel which up to
this time had escaped our attention)

Van Horn interviewed Maj. Cave
when in Houston lately. He writes’
Maj. Cave told us that the storm
actually benefitted the Ship Channel
by the rush of wator through the
channel, thereby scouring it out and
deepening it. The storm done some
damage to his boats, but he will soon
be at work again. The Major de-
serves great credit for the interest
and energy displayed in this public
enterprise. He is, true, the right
man at this business, and Houston,
we know, feels proud of him, for we
hear everybody speak well of Maj.
Cave. The storm here deepened the
channel about four feet, though it
about washed away all the improve- 1
ments made by the government.
was then takee from the wagon, the
body of the murdered man was
placed in it, and taking the distracted
wife and her brother, was driven off
by the murderers. The Dallas Her-
ald says the whole affair is shrouded
in mystery.—Forth Worth Democrat.
The Democrat also seems to be
taking on a grand disgust. It says:
The amount of vacillation, and the
instability manifested by some of the
leading members of the Convention,
is a matter of regret to their con-
stituents who 'are eagerly watching
their proceedings. One day an ar-
ticle of section is adopted, and the
next day it is reconsidered and
amendments and substitutes are of-
fered, which are committed, referred,
or postponed, until the reader is lost
in the labyrinth of parliamentiary
rules with which it is surrounded. It
seems too bad that this august body,
comprising some of the ablest minds
in the State should be unable to cut

Austin, Oct. 18.
Ferris, chairman of the Committee
on Railroads, made a report recom-
mending an article, the main points
of which are :
That railroads hereafter chartered
shall submit to such regula-
tions as the Legislature may
prescribe with reference to rates
and discriminations, and ex-
isting railroad companies shall not
be entitled to any legislative relief,
unless they shall first agree to be
governed by regulations to be pro-
vided by the Legislature under the
constitution.

disagreeing with the majorily report
as a whole, but giving no particulars.

“For what?” “I want to buy a drink.
Last night I was drunk. • To day I
have no money ; my head aches, my
stomach is fint and I am trembling
all over. I feel as though I should
die if I don’t get some hing to
drink.” The story was told with all
the eleqnence of truth, and it opened
the pocket and the purse of the party
importuned. “Here,” said he, “is a
dollar. Do me the favor to get your-
self a good stiff cecktail every morn-
ing.” The poor fellow’s habits might
have been better, certainly ; but one
can hardly regret that his candor
was rewarded and his thirst relieved.

out.” He took me to the barrel,
of which he had knocked
out the head, and having a cork
screw to my knife, I drew a few
corks, and the old man and I enjoyed
that ale, you bet! It was a cask of
bottled ale. “You see, sar,” continud
the old man, “If I con jist find my
stove—and I know him bupied here
somewhere—den I knows zackly
where my house was, and where my
lot is—den I goes to work building

looked sad and crestfallen, and asked
him what was the matter. “Well,”
sid he, was just studying how I
could dispose of my real estate. It
is well watered and—” We looked
up and saw that he seemed to be
looking across the Gulf, and asked
him where his real estate was, and
he pointed in the gulf! The water
has not receded from his town lots
yet. We wandered about again and
came across a fellow sitting on a piece
qf timber pretty well settled in the
sand, who had a vague, blank look,
and asked him what he was mad
about. He said, “Oh, nothing, only
his house had blown away, and he
was waiting for it to blow back
again." We told him that was im-
possible, but hs seemed go sure that it
would blow back again, assuring us
that the wind had blown here during
the s .01 n from every direction, and
he expected it would soon change
bringing with it his honse. Well, we
hve talked with a good many, and

fact that they were not scared, and
