DThe great accommodation afforded by
daily steamboat communication with Hous-
ton U now appreciated by all It is certainly
Increasing the amount of travel and business
and contributes greatly to give animation
and activity to ocr city by the constant com-
ing and going and the ringing of boat bells
All that Is now wanted by the public is some
little reduction In charges to correspond with
the increase of business. The price of pas-
sage has stood the same we believe for
-about twelve years A small reduction would
probably increase the travel and the profits of
the boats
flThe new bnck store of Messrs. Ball
Hutchings & Co. is now completed and U
one of the handsomest and best stores (if not
the best) In our city. It fronts thirty one
feet on the Strand extending hack to a depth
of 110 feet It is three stories high the sto-
ries being 13 12 11 feet high respectively The
iron front with its ornamental castings pre-
sents an imposing and city like appearance
and the entire finish of the building both in
material and workmanship is such as could
scarcely be improved upon in any city
There are also several other stores now going
up which are being constructed much in the
same style It Is really gratifying to see
the business portion of our city so fast Im-
proving and every improvement of the best
fire proof and most durable material regard
leas of the cost

Cottoi The other day we noticed some
Congressional statistics or rather conjectures
In regard to the amount of this year's cotton
crop that is the crop of 1856 Gen Rusk
was reported as having estimated the crop of
Texas as 20 per cent more than that of 1855
owing to the larger amount of land planted.
We believe however from present indi-
cations and from all we can learn that it
would have been nearer the truth (and per-
haps very near the truth) to have put the es-
timate at 20 per cent less than the crop of the
year 1855 There was certainly more ground
planted but we have not yet seen the first
planter who thinks the excess of the planting
has made up for the very general failure of
the crop

The PaorosEo Be toixtio. in Souther1
Trade In our last Tri Weekly we made
room for the much talWd-of letter of Mr
Toombs to the Southern Convention and we
hope our readers will give it a most careful
perusal The proposition made by Mr Toombs
is perhaps the most important ever offered to
the consideration of the people of the South.
We confes we have some misgivings as to the
constitutionality of the measares recommend
ed and yet the facts and arguments or the
writer appear not only cogent but conclusive
The letter to itself a masterpiece of composi-
tion The reasoning is clear comprehensive
and logical anil the ntyle perspiciuou concise
and appropriate All the important points
are explained in a practical way and without
a redundant word The first question sug-
gested is whether a State has constitutional
power to impose the proposed taxes on the
merchandise sold within its limits The
reasoning of Mr Toombs appears satisfactory
but still we would be glad to have all the
objections that can be made fully and fairly
discussed The object aimed at is to effect a
commercial revolution In the South and the
legislation proposed will certainly effect that
object.

QThe communication or "S. 8 R." pub.
liehed in our last suggests matter of much
Interest to our citizens So one can doubt
the importance of the trade of the Sabine
country; but whether one steamer could suc-
censrully compete with New Orleans for it Is
a question which the writer Is doubtless bet-
ter able to answer than we are We should
however think that one Reamer in addition
to the several schooners now in that trade
might be sufficient to meet the present de-
mand for freights The canal our correspon-
dent speaks of his been nnder consideration
for Bix or eight years past In the meantime
however we have been cutting a canal on the
opposite side of our bay and although we
have not folly realized our anticipations in
this first experiment yet the experience we
have now had may speedily be turned to a
good account on the canal our correspondent
proposes" More than half the cot of our
present canal may be strictly chargeable to
experiments that almost always have to be
made in the first enterprises of this kind la a
new State These experiments consisted
chiefly in the invention or new machinery to
sopplj lne defirfencica tnat werc foond to
exist In the application or the first dredge
boats procured The lessons of experience
which we hate now been taught will be of
incalculable advantage In the prosecution or
similar enterprises hereafter; and that they
mil be prosecuted till our whole coast is sup-
plied with an inland communication from the
Sabine to the Rio Grande we have no doubt.

said.

no agreement between the stockbollers of the
Bank and the firm of It. 1 I) G Mills by
which they (the latter) bring the monej to
Texas and put it in circulation or any
agreement between them for any purpose."
AltSWER TO TUE 4tH .MTEROGATORY
"I am not prepared to say and cannot say
to what extent the money of that Bjnk would
be current in Texas without the credit given
to it by the name of R .ID G Mills The
only ground upon which I could base an opin-
ion touching that point is the fact that as
cashier I have frequent application from em-
igrants and others for the notes or checks of
the Bank to be used in Arkansas Louisiana
and Texas they doubtless lelieving from In
formation received that it was the best money
they could take with them except gold or sil-
ver or other Louisiana currency I have In-
variably responded to such application by
giving parties the checks without the name
of R &.D G Mills being on them: and In no
Instance have they been returned to the Bink
as not answering their purpose for the want
of such namert
ASWR TO THE Sin INTERROGATORY.
"This interrogatory pre-supposes the ex"
istenceof an arrangement between the Bank
and R. & D G Mjtls nnder which that firm
undertook to issue and circulate the money in
Texa and I am asked to state the object of
such arrangement. There is no arrangement
between the Bank and R.&DG Mills or be-
tween this Bank and anybody ele to issue
the notes or checks of this Bank They are
all issued by the Bank through Its legally con-
stituted officers There was an arrangement
between the firm of R. Jt D G Mills and the
Board of Directors of the Bank by which R
&DG MiIIb were to receive a certain amount
of the issue of the Bank from the Hank's Agent
in New Orleans from time to time as they
might be in the hands of the said Agent for
which the said IX&. D G. Mills gave the
sail Board or Directors security to the sat-
isfaction of said Board and for which the said
R Jfc D G Mills paid a stipulated rate per
cent perannum interest and which constitu-
ted the oljett on the part of the Bank of the
said arrangement and the "compensation"
received therefore. As to the object on the
part of R.JL D.G Mills I am left to con-
jecture I suppose it was to borrow money to
facilitate them in their business "
Mr Lucas President of the said Bank was
next cross examined and confirmed the above
evidence
To the question.wbether the notes of the
Northern Bank of Mississippi would circulate
In Texas without the name of R .IDG
Mills upon them the witnesses did not agree
In opinion some answering in the negative
and others in the affirmative
In our next we propose to publish all our
laws on the subject of Banking together with
some of the leading arguments on both sides

pant The books of this company were open-
ed day before yesterday for subscribers to
an additional amount ofjifty thosuand dollars
of stock; and last evening we saw seventy
four thousand dollars of the new stock sub
scribed for and the first instalment required
paid in The subscribers arc among the most
intelligent and shrewdest businces men in our
city. When this company was first formed
two year ago it was with tbe utmost diffi-
culty that the amount of tncl required by the
charter for the organization of tbe company
could be taken It was then -an untried en
terprise and the want of confidence made
many embark In it with evi lent reluctance But
twoyears experience has removed all douhts-
The first year's business enabled the directors
to declare a dividend of twenty per cent on
the cash advances or 11 stock holders and a
few days ago a dividend of thirty per cent
was declared a the proceeds of tbe second
year after paying all losses promptly; and
there Is remaining besides a handsome surplus
fn the hands of the treasurer The stock-
holders have therefore realized fftyper cent
In two year in the infancy of the company
and both thoe years were the most unfavora-
ble for business that we have ever known
These facts show that there is some business
doing in Galveston in spite of all our draw
backs Great credit Is due to the Directors
and especially to Mr A Ball the President
and Mr Geo Butter tbe Secretary of this
company for their prudent magagement
'
SUGAR DUTIES AAD HOUSTON.
We notice Senator Houston has introduced
a resolution in the Senate to repeal tbe duties
on sugar and molasses for tbe next two years
This we think is the best more that has been
made in Congress since the session com-
menced There is the nng of Democracy m
It We trust when the duty is off it will
never tic put on again The exorbitant price
charged at this time for both articles should
arouse tbe people en masse to the folly of
protecting" such a monopoly and petitions
should pour In like hail to the Capitol for an
immediate repeal Item
We are as much opposed to tariffs for pro-
tection as our fnend of the Item or anybody
else but such tariffs have been enacted ever
pince tbe organization of this Government
almost exclusively for the protection of N.orth-
ern investments and at the expense of the
Sonth Sugar we believe is almost the only
product of the South that has ever received
any protection and as it is a product in which
this State is largely interested we cannot
think that it looks very patriotic or becoming
In a Texas Senator to be tbe first to make a
move that must operate so injuriously to a
Urgt portion of bis own constituents It may
be very good Democracy In principle but we
would be glad to learn whether the man who
so recently deserted tbe Democratic party is
now to be credited for tbe soundness of bis
Democracy in making this move? From the
first enactment of protective tariffs in this
country down to the present day the South
has actually paid to the North some three ok
POUR HUNDRED MILLIONS OP DOLLARS and
this pitiful duty on sugar is almost the only
return Among the numerous Northern pro-
ducts that are now protected Gen Houston s
Democracy could not find one from which tbe
duty ought to be repealed but has chosen to
take from his own constituents their only pro-
tection the effect or which must be to prevent
thousands of acres or onr rich sugar lands
from being brought Into cultivation and will
of course curtail the amount of our exports
sevpral hundred thousand dollars annually
On looking back over Geu Houston a past
course in Congress it wilt be found that tbe
instances are very tew and far between in
which he has ever originated proposed or sup-
ported any measure especially for the benefit
of his own consituents Indeed we have
rarely ever heard from him except in con
nection with some political movements calcn.
lated to promote his own ends His present
resolution is directly calculated for the benefit
or the North where of course it must be
popular and will receive the undivided sap-
port of all the Northern numbers ; and it
therefore reminds us forcibly of his previous
freesoil votes which have made him by far the
most popular man with tbe Black Republicans
that can be named in all the Southern States
He has the sagacity to see that the Bceptre of
power has passed from the South; and it never
has been any part of his policy to make
enemies or those who hold that sceptre The
truth Is Texas has Tor years hem sending a
man to Congress to represent the North.

HocsTOh The Telegraph is entitled to
credit for tbe zeal and ability with which it
advocates the Interests or Houston Among
the impediments to Its prosperity It notices
the mud for which tbe Bayou City has acquir
ed some notoriety but which tbe enterprise of
its citizens will soon orercome The Editor
compares Houston with Xcw York London
and New Orleans as follows: 4
New Tork covers the site of a swamp and a
large share of modern London stands where
but a short century since it was impossible to
drive a mule New Orleans rests npon a crut
of soil too shallow to bury its dead in dry
craves and both it and Chit-am .ro hptnnrthe

but the sea shore is near and targoes of shells
are to be had for the loading clay banks are
all around us and bricks can be bad for tbe
burning forests of timber await the wood-

sawing With all these convenient tempta-
tations to draw us on what is the mere item
of mud to that indomitable perseverance
which says" wherever there s a will there's a
way " Rather than calling it an obstacle we
regard it as but a slight incentive to the exer

mind that loc to grasp at seeming impoasi

The attention of the sugar growers of
Louisiana has been latelv drawn to the ac-
tion of Congrct- in relation to the present
duty upon -upar and at a meeting in New
Orleans a committee was appointed to remon-
strate against its repeal
We notice manj sugar planters of Texas
now In town and as our Senator (Sam
Houston) was the penton who Introduced the
hill In the Senate we consider ourselves
bound to take action if not the lend in the
protest
No State has more reion to encourage the
protection or sugar growing than Texas yet
she is the fir-U through her representative to
striken fital blow at it
We have a climate much better adipted to
the culturi of cane than tint of any other
State In the Union land much cheaper and
we may naturally suppose tlat so long as
the culture or sugar is profitable the atten-
tion of p! inters will to directed to our State;
and the tens of thousands of uncultivated
acres on Lower Brazos Oyster Creek and
Caney which can be had for ten nnl twelve
dollars per acre might oon be filled with an
indnstrious and profitable population
We admit that sugar i high and will prob-
ably be higher than ha been known since we
were a sugar growing country ct we deny
that the repeal of the present dutj of thirty
per cent will cause an equal reduction in
price and doubt if it will caue ao
A rair average crop or Louisiana is about
400000 hhds Texas last year shipped from
this port 7500 hhda : with this amount growing
within ourselves we vere enable 1 to control
our own maakct and regulate the price or
the islind sugars destined for our trade But
thisjear Louisiana wi 1 only produce about
75000 bhds and we doubt if Texas will go
much over 100 bhds With this small amount
(only about onc-ixth of a fair crop) we are
at the mercy of the foreign trade and they
will regulate the prices forns Any redaction
of duty will more probably he met by an in-
crease export duty by the governments or the
islands and an increase in tho price paid the
growers in foreign ports hy speculators
which will end in the Mme price being paid
by consumers here and all the present duty
paid into the pockets of the foreign growers
This was the effect in the grain market in
this country during the famine years fn Fu
rope the on'y benefit derive 1 by these conn
tries was to induce the breadstuff's to go to
them in place of ports where an unjost duty
was claimed and there being no limit to our
breadstuff? we choaked them up but at foil
prices whilst in the sugar trade there is a
limit and our markets cannot be over stocked
The crop of the world is short and all mar-
kets consumers and importers save the Is
lands
But with a continuance of the present pro-
tection a guarantee will to given which will
Induce planters to open new fields which will
soon give us a crop large-enough to compete
with our foreign neighbors and regulate oar
prices
borne may say this is only a temporary mea-
sure; but that will not do a so long a it
exists new plantations will not be opened as
the outlay is loo hrge to run the uncertain
risk of political action and the wantofprotcc
tionwill caute those who ha veloat their crops
to entirely aban Ion cane and plant cotton
We fear too much time has already lecn i0st
hut still some prompt action should he taken
to save it if possible
The Custom House. Onr readers are gen
erally aware that an appropriation of S100-
000 was imde some two j iars ago to hnild a
Custom House in this city For a long time
after the pipage of the law weheard nothing
on the subject but some short time since an
advertisement appeared inviting proposal to
build till' Custom House according to a pro-
posed plan This plan has been examined by
a number of architects in this city and others
and by all of them is pronounced very objec-
tionable The building is intended to em-
brace suitable apirtments for a Custom House
Postofike an 1 the Federal Court and the Tol
lowing are among the objections we have
heard nnmed and which mnst be obvious to
all who will examine the plan
1st There is not sufficient room forthebuM
ness of the Custom House and Postofficc nor
suitable accommolitions for the officers
There is no warehouse or provision for
storage of bonded goods nor vanlts for safe
keeping of the public funds and records
2nd The lot purchased by the Unite 1 States
is a corner lot f routine North one side and
West on the other whiNt the building is to
have East and West fronts with its rear on
Avenne E one of the finest streets in this
city.
3d The s'air cases are all to lead up to the
different parts of the building from the out-
side which will give it a very awkward and
unsightly anpaarince nnlsnljects the oth
cers to the inconvenience and exposure of go
Ingto and from the different parts of the buil-
ding through the cold rains and northerly
winds of winter
We may add to the above that the propo-
sals require that a brick culvert shall be con
strncted underground from the building to the
bay to carry off the witer from the roof
ach a culvert we understand would require
a very large number of bnck and ad 1 greatly
to the expense while at one tenth of the
cost cisterns could to built to contain the
water which would be indispensably neces-
sary here It is required that the gutters to
the roof shall be of iron to to made proof
against the effects of frost One woul 1 sup-
pose that the plan and specifications were
drawn up by a person who knew nothing of
onr climate or of the importance of cisterns
to our public buildings
Commodore E. W Moore who has been in
our city for a few dayB past has submitted
anotber plan to many of our citizens the su-
perior advantages of which in almost every
respect are readily admitttd by every one
who has examined the two; and we are glad
to see that a memorial has been extensively
signed by the architects of our city and many
public functionaries of the State as well as
other good judges asking of the Government
to accept of Commodore Moore s plan in
place of the other and we trust our represen
tatives in Congress witl use their influence to
have the memorial properly brought before

Cashing has performed but a duty in calling
attention to tbe complicity of Col Johnson in
the railroad war with Gov. Pease in 1S54 The
emcute between the Governor and Company
is of so recent a date and the parts which dis-
tinguised gentlemen played upon that occa-
sion arc so well known to the people of Texas
th.it it will be hard for newspaper scnbblers
to set .imJp the force and effects legitimately
resulting therefrom Everybody knows that
Col Johnson upon that occasion published a
flaming protest to the country and (we
thought) tried to brow beat an honest Execu-
tive in the performance of a high official duty
He was lovingly cheek by jowl with Walker
and King then and for aught we know is so
to this day.
With a full knowledge of these facts our
coteraporay of the Telegraph was certainly
justified in calling public attention to them

required of him by the Constitution No man
should be placed in tbe executive chair whose
shirts are not entirely clean of all partialities
and allpnces He should as the depository
of the people s power and wishes to free and

no enemies to punish Whether Col Johnson
is such an one or not we leave the records and
history of the past to testify
We would not have it inferred from the fore-
going that we are disposed to make war upon
Col Johnson or any other gentleman Such
is not by any means the case He ia we are
told an amiable pleasant personage with an
ordinary modicum of common senseand would
likely under fat oralle en en instances make a
respectable executive officer but the existence
of these circumstauces just now we are some
what inclined to doubt.
The candidate whoever he may be it Is

the death knell of one of the veteran life-

the beautiful land or which they were the
pioneers and defenders. Captain Wm A
Mathews was buried on Saturday afternoon
by the Masonic fraterniti . of which he was an
honorable member lie came to this country
as early as 1829 very poor and friendless but
it required only a slight effort for him to win
tbe esteem and friendship of strangers for he
was a man of warm feelings strict integrity
and generous impulses II is heart and his
home were alike open to the needy tbe nnfor
tunatc and the persecuted He was a frank
open enemy and a steadfast energetic friend
unjust only to himself He participated In
the early struggles of his contry Tor freedom
had acquired considerable .wealth and leaves
a large and most interesting family as well
as numerous friends to deplore his loss Long

Slavery in Delaware A correspondent
writing from Delaware says :
Slavery as seen in this State presents some
curious features Its existence is merely nom-
inal Being without tbe oppressiveness some-
times noticed elsewhere the slave enjoys a
state of unconcern and dependence on the
master s care which is almost enviable Eman
cipation is popular; jet freedom is not consid-
ered as promoting the negro's welfare Indo-
lence is bis besetting sin and with it he too
often becomes confirmed in the worst practices
It is difficult to hire colored labor except at
largo wages Wash women for instance
charge eix shillings a dozen or full as much
as is ordinarily paid In Acw York There are
some free colored men in town that are doing
very well but these exceptions are rare

The House adopted a resolution appointing

The Texas Rager Our former Assoc!
ate J M Gibson Esq. presents his salutatory
address to the readers of the Ranger of tho
10th inst The following short extract will
show the future course of that journal under
the direction of Mr Gibson
In this connection the subscriber desires
briefly to say that it shall be his aim and ob-
ject to sustain the reputation or the "Texas
Ranger" as a first class family paper unflinch
ing alike in its devotion to Democracy and the
rights or the South believing that nnder pres-
ent political organizations they are one and
inseparable

It is said that there is quite a bitter feud
between the orthodox and heterodot spiritual-
ists of Cincinnati The former are fewest in
number They are thirsty to have a distinguish-
ed lecturer from the East to defend their views
and expose what they regatd as the diabolical
tendencies of that spiritualism which denied
the divinity of Jesus Christ the inspiration of
the Bible and the radical doctrines of Christianity.

The Collins Line. We learn that since
the government has decided to reduce the pay
to the Collins linp on account of the mail
contract the company has resolved to reduce
their rate of speed thereby avoiding an in-
creased ratio of wear and tear diminishing
the consumption of fuel and lessening the
size of the crews arguing that if the gov-
ernment cannot afford to pay for great speed
private individuals cannot do it The greater
economy of the new arrangement Is apparent
from the fact that the average consumption
of coal per day at high speed is eighty five
tons at low speed fit ty five tons This is a
difference of $1000 per voyage and it Is cal-
culated that the saving in wear and tear of
machinery will equal this amount; so that
the total Raving on twenty six round trips as
required by contract will exceed S200.000 per
annum or more than compensate for tbe loss
of pay It is claimed that there is nothing in
tbe contract binding as to speed but simply
that the vessels "shall be built for high
speed "Journal of Commerce
We doubt not tne Attorney tieneral win
be able to show that the contract requir
ing the vessels to be built for "high speed"
meant that high speed should be given to
them otherwise those words would to without
meaning
