pleasure in saying that Captain Stockt on has

for several years, and I have ever found him

An old and valued correspon-
lent is much offended at the manner
in which our city co tempo vary men- j
tioned. the return of Messrs. Moody
and Sankey from their trans-Atlantic
labors. We have a custom of leaving
such, matters to the consciences of
the individuals, and do not care to
intermeddle with their supernal ideas
"r convictions.
Texas State warrants which' were
ixty per cent, below par two years
ago, are now one-half of one per cent,
premium. Facts like these have per-
petuated the organization of the
Democratic party in the States and
the nation, and until Republicanism
means rigid economy the mission of
ihe Democratic party will not have
ieen completely accomplished.

The mutual profits which would
accrue from the cattle trade alone
would be adequate consideration
for the earnest efforts of both Hous-
ton and New Orleans to construct a
connecting line of railway. The vast
herds of Southern and Western Texas
would then be driven hither for ship-
ment and would find illimitable pas-
turage surrounding this city upon
which to recruit before being placed
upon the cars. All the conditions
are satisfied to make this trade profit-
able to all parties concerned. The
cattle raiser would here have the
choice of two routes, either by Mor-
gan’s steamers to New Orleans, New
York and Havana or by this railway
to New Orleans and Mobile, and to
all points North. Entire herds could
then be marketed here, as many pur-
chasers from abroad would come to
meet the stock men and buy from
first hands. Houston and New Or-
leans would then reap the profits now
enjoyed by St. Louis and the various
shipping points tributary to that
city. New Orleans by means of this
connection would certainly have a
better chance’to take away the cat-
tle trade from St. Louis than St.
Louis now has to make of itself a
great cotton "mart. All the towns
and cities in the Southern States at
least would supply their shambles
: from New Orleans. As for Houston
i there would be nothing in the way
of her becoming as noted for her
broad acres of stockyards and pack-
ing houses as is Kansas City ; a city
which has grown from a village sinae

i profits of this trade.

The Austin Statesman intimates
that the renewed agitation of the
international bond matter as a test
question of party fealty would im-
peril the domination of the demo-
cratic party in this State. This is
decidedly far-fetched as an arraign-
ment of any public man who posses-
ses a comfortable share of the pub-
lic confidence. Furthermore, since
John Ireland is provided for, the
'Statesman ventures to say that the
federal Senatorship is due to the
West. Stockdale, we think, satisfies
all the stipulated conditions of the
Statesman.
The Grand Turk takes to dispateh-
h g and pretends he has pacified his
1 bellious subjects. We believe
about as much of that as suits us.

We again call upon the Council to
repeal that iniquitous relic of the late
Radical administration, the cattle or-
dinance, now being enforced by the
authorities. Every day the ridicu-
lous and oppressive enactment by a
set of ridiculous “leatherheads" be-
comes more and more detestable and
annoying to our citizens. In fact, no
municipal measure within onr mem-
ory, has rendered a Board of Alder-
dermen more really unpopular than
the present. And justly so, when it
is asserted by reliable citizens that
cattle are now being driven by par-
ties from outside the city into the
forbidden ground. Will the Council
repeal it? Or shall every slabsided
cow be impounded, forcing her owner
to pay a round sum before getting
her out?

An Austin dispatch to the News
last night says that the Convention
Committee on Education is under-
stood to comprise a majority who
are opposed to public education sup-
ported by general taxation. If this
be true the action of the committee
will conform to the popular opinion
upon this question. The interest
upon the school fund added to a poll
tax of four or five dollars upon each
male adult in the State is all that the
people wish to see expended for
educational purposes just now. A
certificate that the poll tax has been
paid should be a prerequisite for
voting. This rule is found to work
well in Georgia and other States and
we wish to see it enforced in Texas.

cities, is reported to have said on
’Change in St. Louis, that Texas
wanted to send its grain to that city.
This reminds us that fools and knaves
think the art of pleasing lies in say-

the truth of their statements. Those
