' Houston anil Austin Rail-Road.
' On Friday evening last J udge Harvey II. Allen of Houston agent
for the Western branch. of the Galveston and Red River Railway
addressed jarge assembly of our citizens at the Capitol on the sub-
ject of his mission. The speech was well rereived as it deserved to
be for the speakershovyed a thorough acquaintance with his subject
SandjalTorded our citizens much light on a subject in which they feel
a deep interest. We will not attempt anything like a studied report
of the speech for in that we Could not do Judge Allen and the noble
cause of which he is so able an advocate full justice; but we will
advert to a few of his prominent positions :
He said that two months ago he had the pleasure of participating
in the deliberations of a convention assembled in this capital to discuss
the important questions connected with tho Internal improvement pol-
icy of the State. On the present occasion became on a business tour
as one of the commissioners appointed by virtue of the charter enact-
ed by the Legislature of 1818 and amended at the late session author-
ising tho organization of the Galveston and Red River Railway Com-
pany. That the first movement of the citizens of Houston was con-
fined to the project of constructing a road to the city of Austin with
a view to accommodate the larger part of the country which had hith-
erto traded at that point. Subsequently however in an interview
with the late Attorney-General Col. Ebenezer Allen the original
projecter of the proposed road to Red River he became batisfied that
a union of the two projeots was emiuently desirable and proposed to
Col. Allen to associate with him under the provisions of the charter
some of the.gentlemen at Houston who were engaged in getting up
the Western road and to open books of subscription at once on the
respective routes. Col. Allen acceded to the proposition and the ar-
rangement was consummated about a month ago. Since that time
books had been opened at the city of Houston and in the counties of
Austin and Washington and upwards of $3G()000 of available sub-
scriptions procured. He regarded the counties of Harris Austin nnd
Washington as certain to augment their present subscription to
$450000 an amount sufficient to ensure the construction of at least
fifty miles of road. lie stated that an engineer and surveyors were
now on the route and would probably oompleto their work to the
Brazos river and prepare their estimates within twenty days when
the commissioners who by the terms of the charter pre authorized to
act will issue proposals for contractors.
But said he although the company have been thus far successful
beyond their most sanguine expectations they do not suppose nor
will any sensible man who is acquainted with the money resources of the
dountry calculate that either the Western or Eastern branch or this
road can be built by private subscription obtained within tho State.
That to give any adequate accommodation to the population and pro-
duction intended to be benefitted by the two routes from five to seven
millions of dollars would bo required in the course ol" the next five
yPnrs an amount of money that could not by any means be raised by
individual subscriptions at home and that it is folly to talk of build
ing rail'roals to any considerable extent in Texas without the con
centration and combination of all the meuns dnd credit at our com-
mand. The rqnstruclion of the two lines now proposed if the West-
ern is extended to San Antonio nnd 'the Eastern thrown off some for-
iy 'miles above Houston and extended 'North-Easterly to Red JUver
will accommodate three-fourths of the population and production or
the ent'tro State. In the judgment of some of the best infojrmetTciti.
zens of the State tho two lines of road now proposed by thisyiompu-
ny will give more general accommodation tojiie people living above
tbjbclt of countryoiWjjic: coawhiciji is from & 6$?snpJ it&
atiou tolerably accommodated) than could be" attained by' any otlier
routes of the same length. Tlmt (o accomplish the" construction of
'the roads proposed the company propose to ask the State after it shall
complete fbrty miles of road to loan it nt the. rate of rit least three or
four thousand dollars per mile for every mile of road coiislrrfcted tlio
money to be expended equally in progressing tho two lines into East-
ern and Western Texas" and its repayment' to bo secured to thoSnuc
by mortgngoof the amount of road actually completed. Tt is further
proposed that the Legislature? pass a hvw authorising any counties
feeling an Interest in tho construction of 'the roads td vote the imposi-
tion of a moderate fax equal to' the annual interest on such amonntof
stock as they shall reepuctivety subscribe vnnd to issue thejr bonds"! to v
the company on a term of years nnuTnuthorise it to negotjatothev
bonds and pledge the stock sublcribeto the capitalist ris collateral sc-- '!
curity for their payment- &e". lie entered into recalculation to sh&w .
the perfect availability of the bonds when the issue a not excessive
and the tax amply sufficient and certain to meet the interest. 'From
these sources if they could be commanded and aJprivate subscription a
of from two tb three millions fo be raised and paid in withnvheext
five years all the means required to complete- both roads would be
provided. ' ' ' ' ' r':
Every intelligent riian would a't otice perceive that so large a pri-
vate subscription could not bo obtained without the complete ami lib -eral
co-oporation of every class itMlie community: Tlie commercial "
or mercantile class could not compass it alone nor ca'ii the planting

effort can do it the? ought to do it and hchadnojloul)t'thQ'y woulfl
do it. He urged the importance of a liberal subscription Ijere and
along the whole line of this vnley above the siigar.region. He stated i
that efficient local and travelliugngcnt3were appointed and engnge'dr
in developing the project and taking subscriptions ip Eastern Texas
and that if the interests of to two sections can bimade t6'h(rmonizeJ1
and ho saw no obstacle the project) could bo consummated and on
of the iincst regions of country on the globe yast in -extdnt and rich
beyond computation in naturaresources accommodated with reason-
able facilities of cheap certain. andrapid transportation ' -
Judge Allen showed in a very clear light 'tjmt tlieprOposed plniiK
for a variety o reasons is the bestyet proposed to promote the gen-
eral good of the largest portion of the. State as its "completion would
accommodate with railroad facilities a larger amount of the-popithv "
tion and wealth of the State than any other plan vet put forward..
"He also stated that the construction of the Western branch andta.
large portion of the Eastern is now a fixed' fact plaged" beyond a per
adventure. The capital already raised and the assurances of accom-
modations to the company from abroad uinl an increased subscription
to the stock of the company in Texas justified him in making this
assertion without the least hesitancy. He then wetit into a minute"
aud very satisfactory calculation as to tie cost of the. proposed-West-)
em road and its profits and satisfied all present. not. only that it oouId
be built by those immediately interested but that it would be wpaying '
road the day it was finished. Ou this part of the subject wo thought
Judge Allen mpde a v?ry liberal calculation as to the cost oftho roadj.'
