It is thought that in addition to j
the army appropriation, the presi-
dent will submit to the extra session j
the deficiency in the naval appro-
priation and some matters regarding
the French exposition, and corres-
pondence with the states on the
strikes. Documents and details
upon these subjects are being pre-
pared at the respective bureaus, in
contemplation of their being wanted
when his excellency returns.
New York, Sept. 24.—Secretary
Sherman telegraphs the Evening
Post, over his own .signature, con-
tradicting the report that he says he
will be a candidate for the United
States senate.
Chicago, Sept. 24;—A fire at Law-

Loss, 150,000.
Mattewan, N. J., Sept.' 24.—A
fire at Key port last night destroyed
all the business portion of the town,
including over forty buildings, the
Atlantic hotel, the Episcopal church,
and then the Mansion house. Loss,
$250,000.
Baltimore, Sept. 24.—The grand
lodge of Odd Fellows resolved that
it be required four fifths of all mem-
bers, whose credentials have been
approved, to change the written
work. Grand Secretary Rodley
gave notice that his increasing in-
firmities would compel him to offer
his resignation at the next session.
The grand lodge determined by a
vote of 54 yeas to 41 nays, to meet
in 1878, at Austin, Texas.
Brownsville, September 22.—
President Diaz has refused to accept
the resignation ot Gen. Canales. He
notifies him that he will furnish ali
the funds necessary to supply and
pay his command. All quiet.
Paris, September 22.—In the
second trial of M. Gambetta to-day,
on apppeal from his previous . sen-
tence of three months imprisonment
and two thousand francs fine, his
counsel argued that the tribunal
which condemned him was an in-
competent one. The court rejected
the plea, and confirmed the sentence
pronounced at the first trial.
The official journal publishes a de-
cree ordering elections lor deputies
on the fourteenth of October, and
summoning an extra session of the
chamber of deputies on the 7th ol
November.
The manifesto to the nation, found
amOng ex-President Thiers’ papers,
will be published on Thursday. The
conservative journals already con-
test its authenticity.
San Antonio, Sent. 22.—Col Price
at Fort Brown reports that Judge
Russell, now holding couft at Edin-
burgh, made several efforts for the
rendition of the five murderers held
in Matamoras without success. He
will make another demand from Ed-
inburgh. Gov. Hubbard telegraphs
tire general commanding that'Judge
Russell says Canales and the whole
regiment have resigned, and that we
can extradite no more criminals.
It will be seen by this that all mod-
erate measures are exhausted. How
a collision can be avoided is not
well understood by the military
authorities.
Lieutenant Bullis is after some
cattle thieves who are reported to
have crossed over with one hundred
head ot stock.
Richmond, Sept. 24.—On the 19th
a difficulty occurred on W.D. Field’s
plantation, between A. M. Phipps
and a freed man. From what I can
learn the freedman made some
threats, and Mr. Phipps, having
occasion to see the freedman on
business, went to his house, taking
his pistol with him. Upon his ar-
rival the freedman made his appear-’
ance in a belligerent attitude. Mr.
Phipps fired at him, when he disap- j
peared inside the house. Mr. Phipps,!
seeing another freedman at the win- j
dow, who was dressed like the first,!
fired at him, the ball taking effect in ;
the neck and causing death instant- >
ly. The report to-day is that the
first one was shot through the body
and has since died. Mr. Phipps is
now in jail here, where he will like-
ly remain until he is tried.

Progress.
Three and a half years ago in the whole region
west of Parker and Jack counties there was not
exceeding 100 stock raisers and a score of farm-
ers,, both have steadily increased until to date
(September, 1S77) the population may safely be
estimated at 20,000, and likely will reach 10,000
by the end of the current year.
Young County.
lias about eight-tenths arable lands'; three-
fifths prairie two-filths timber, rich friable,
chocolate, mahogany and gray soils. About 100
miles front on the main, and 20 miles on the
Clear Fork Brazos Rivers, superior quarries of
stone, brick and fire clays, salines, iron and
copper.prevail, and coal in great abundance.
T'lie rough pan is the south-east portion. Popu-
lation now Septembers 1877 about 6000, and
rapidly increasing.
Crahaiii.
The county seat is handsomely laid out on
beautiful grounds, with most attractive sur-
roundings on survey ofrl exas & Pacific Railway
83 miles from Fort Worth. Though scarcely
two years old it has now September* 1877, about
6i 0 inhabitants and fast increasing witn an en-
terprising, thrifty and intelligent class of peo-
ple, the equal of any town in or out of the
state. It has a eotlofi gill, saw mill, flouring
mill, three blacksmith shops, one gun and ma-
chine shop, one tirwehop, eleven stores, county
and telegraph offices, one newspaper, the Gra-
ham Leader, two schools, a Presbyterian and a
Methodist church and likely soon will have a
Baptist and Episcopal church, etc. 'ibis solid
growth, attained with a proper distance from
older large towns with like position to .the west
and surrounding country, which mad- Waco,
Sherman and Fort Worth, assures ample sus-
taining influences and resources for its* growth
and trade corresponding with the settlement and
growth of the country west. Another flouring
mill and hotel is badly needed, also tannery,
pottery and other branches not fully represented.

troubles,
IT lie Opportune Time
Is now—for the purchase of lands, the chance
of first selections at lowest prices, with certain-
ty that by the time farms and ranches can be
puf in stood working order, the convenience
of rapid and chaap freights will be secured over
the Texas and Pacific and its branches, Hie
Transcontinental and Atlantic and Pacific; also
the Waco and North-western and Galveston and
Denver Railroads, which will pass through this
region. Meantime a demand for all products of
the farm from thl? military posts, hunters and
immigrants, at twice to three times the prices
that obtains m the old cuonties.
Government Aid to She Texas and

Will certainly be granted by the next congress
which will insure its rapid construction, and
concentrate along its route the greater part of
immigration into the state, whose industry, en-
terprise and capital,and capital (hat will follow-
will most speedily develop its agricultural, min-
eral and metal resources, and give an anim'e l,
substantial and permanet advancement to every
branch of industry, and the fruition of great
thrift and wealth.
High Hoads
to be the firmer and more passable during wet
seasons, are usually made to follow ridge di-
vides over the poorer and least desirable lands,
while near on each side they may be found rich
and attractive.
To Examine a Country
to best advantage and at least expense, buy or
hire a two hors covered wagon, provide camp
box and blankets, then one can star t, and stop,
and diverge from mam roads at pleasuie.
For greater convenience and safety, carry sur-
plus money in sight, Bank Exchange on New
York, in amounts from $i00 to $3C0, which is
readily salable*to merchants and land owners.
