Tiif. experiment of shipping live
cattle from Boston to Liverpool, has
proved a complete success, the first lot
of 150 beeves, by the steamer San Mar-
cos, having arrived at Liverpool in ex-
cellent condition.
An extensive industry is likely to
grow out of the manufacture of cloth
front Indian grass, a fibre grown in In-
dia, which is said to be three times
stronger than the best Bussian hemp,
nnd much lighter.
The Importers and Traders Bank,
soon to be organized in Boston with a
capital of 1500,000, will limit its busi-
ness principally to the loaning of
money on merchandise in bond or
store, and on grain or cotton in transit
or warehouse. .
The Tombs prison at New York
which was originally built to accom-
modate 250 prisoners, has been known
to stow away 547 at one time, four
wretches to a cell being nothing un-
common. No wonder the tombs give
forth a doleful Bound.
Within two weeks twelve new
mining companies were organized,
fight of which were located in Ne-
vada and four in California. Tan of
the twelve have capitals of 110,000,000
each, and two of $0,000,000 each. The
asfgretjate is $ 112,000,000.
Tiie Baltimore shot tower is 220 feet
high, and has a capacity of about a
million bags of twenty five pounds each
per annum. When a man who has
read about the monuments in that city
goes to Baltimore, the first thing he
does is to visit the shot tower.
The Japanese are shipping bricks to
California ami selling them cheaper
than those made in that State, not-
withstanding there is an ad valorem

The Japanese brick is 8J inches long,
4 J inches wide and 2$ inches thick.
The boy murderer, Jesse Pomeroy,
owes his life thus far to g deadlock.
The Governor urges commutation, but
the Council refuses to commute, and
the Governor refuses to sign the death
warrant. So Jesse can neither be
hanged nor let oft till they get a new
administration.
It is too frequently the case for pa-
pers of a low order of intelligence to
ridicule the college graduate as a help-
less and useless individual. Mr.
Avery, of Yale, however, graduated
only a month ago, and already has se-
cured a position of trust at a salary of
$:t000 a year. It is as pitcher of a pro-
fessional base ball club.

Tiie State of Kansas is said to havo
invested and expended, for educational
purposes, during the last ten years,
the sum of fl7,000,0u0. This expendi-
ture is now going on to the amount of
over a million dollars a year. In spite
of the interest thus shown in instruc-
tion, it is further reported that only
about three persons in every hundred
in that State enter the learned pro-
fessions. _
A Cotton Exchange has been or-
ganized in Vicksburg, one of the
most central points in the Southern
cotton States. It will yield valuable
information, and its weather reports
will be especially useful. The follow,
ing officers were elected to serve for
the year : I). W. Lamkin, President ;
Alex. Kuhn, Vice President ; G. M.
Klein, Treasurer. Directors—James
McCutchen, Eugene Martin, E. A.
Forbes, Samuel Fischel and Isaac
Hirsch.
No less than 000,000 spindles are
now employed in the manufacture of
cotton goods in East India, and as
many more in course of construction.
This sudden development of native in-
dustry has astounded the Manchester
(England) manufacturers who, having
controlled almost the entire trade of
the country, now see their chances of
future profits fading away. Conse-
quently an effort is being made to do
away with the five per cent, import
duty which protects India manufac-
tures n^ainst the competition in the
markets of that country, of the Man-
chester mill owners. But even if the
import duty were removed in India, it
would not interfere with the progress
of her cotton manufacturii »i' Austry,
for manufactures, on accot*4 of the
abundance of laborers, could work the
relay system much easier in India than
in England,
The masses of no great political
party are dishonest partisans. Whether
Republicans or Democrats, they mean
well by adhering to the party and sub-
scribing to its declared principles.
This is fully understood by the politi-
cians who arrange platforms and
manage nominating caucuses. They
take care that nominees and platforms
shall profess the very best intentions.
If loud preliminary homage to virtue
had usually verified itself in the event
as the prologue to coming improve-
ments in the administration of public
affairs, the American people would
have been blessed beyond example
with all the requisites of entirely pure
and thoroughly efficient government.
Sad experience has learned at fearful
cost how little of true promise there
haa been in stereotyped protestations
of loyalty to the causo of reform regu-
larly paraded before the people by the
politicians of every party. The people
have been so long fed on this stuff—a
barren and fraudulent ideality of good
government—that it is no wonder the
republic itself should seem to be in
peril of death from the compound
eff.fCt of inanition and poison. And
why is it that the honest and patriotic
desires of the masses of a party
have always failed of adequate expres-
sion in the administration of public
aff.iirs, whether one or another party
was ascendant? The reason is par-
tially indicated in a speech recently
delivered at Zanesville, Ohio, by Gov.
Hendricks, of Indiana, in support of
the Democratic ticket in the former
State. Tho passage to which we refer
is a powerful appeal to well-meaning
Republicans, urging them, for their
country's good, to quit their party as
an organization hopelessly wedded to
•abuses. Telling them that the only
remedy for crying public evils is in a
change of administration, he adds :
"This you know, that when a party
has been long in power and controls
great patronage and large sums of
money, all adventurers and those
who seek .to make money out of
politics, work their way, not only
within its ranks, but into positions of
influence and party control. Naturally
enough, they have become active
managers, giving their money liberally,
and by taking charge of primary elec-
tions and conventions, they control, in
many instances, the nominations.
Their hold is hard to break, and it be-
comes the interest of politicians to
conciliate rather than fight them.
That is the reason, as I sup-
pose, why it is so difficult,
if not impossible, for a party
to correct abuses and evils within its
own organization." But something
more is wanted to explain the tend-
ency of every powerful party, though
its masses arc honest, to lend itself
tamely to tho will of bad men who
are in it only for bad purposes. It is
the excessive cultivation of party spirit
that has led to chronic abuse of party
organization, and the disappointment
of the hopes of good men of all par-
ties. The evil would be impossible, if
the well meaning rank and file of the
different parties were not so largely
dominated by the fallacy of believing
strict and inflexible party organization
to be essential to the maintenance of
cherished principles, and the accom-
plishment of desired reforms. Ad
herence to party, as a sacramental
matter, however its organization might
be perverted, has been one ot the great
banes of American politics. Such a
rule operates as a moral disfranchise-
ment of citizens who are governed by
it. They cease to be free citizens
when they enlist as soldiers pledged
to implicit obedience of orders
issued by anybody—though Satan
himself were he—who might be in
command at party headquarters.
Such party discipline is totally opposed
to the principle of self-government and
the .spirit of democracy. It involves
moral slavery on the one hand, and the
worst kind of central despotism on
the other. There will be parties as
long as there are political contests; and
there will be political contests as long
as there are differing opinions regard
ing public policies. But partisan ser-
vility is not an attendant necessity.
Because a citizen believes in the ab-
stract that one policy is good or another
policy bad, it does not follow that he
is bound to surrender his conscience to
great or small adventurers, avaricious,
corrupt, unscrupulous, who may work
themselves into positions of control in
a party organization. There is but one
way to extricate politics from the
blighting influence of such men. It is
to utterly repudiate their leadership,
in whatever guise it may appear.
There is 110 reason to fear that good
leadership will be wanting. But good
leadership can never be had while,
through tolerated abuse of party organ-
ization, bad leadership is enabled to
preoccupy the field. In short, citizens
of all party affiliations must' be inde-
pendent in judgment and conscience,
if party organizations are to be kept
from the control of adventurers, cheats
and charlatans, and if the lead in poli-
tics is to be taken by statesmen, patri-
ots and genuine reformers. And it is
only thus that democracy—tlie intelli-
gent will of the honest, sincere, in-
corruptible body of the people—can be
made vital and effectual in govern-
ment.

Tliircl Day.
The appointment of Hon. John Ire
lmd to the place on the Supreme
Bench made vacant by the resignation
of Judge Devine is not surprising, as
it was currently stated when the resig-
nation was announced that tho vacancy
would thus be filled. Judge Ireland
had been credited with aspira tions to
the United States Senate, as successor
to Senator Hamilton, and it is to be ex-
pected that some persons will believe
that Gov. Coke, in making the ap"
pointment, was actuated, in part at
least, by a desire to shelve
formidable rival for the above
named position. But this is not a
necessary inference. Judge Ireland
is conceded to possess eminent quali-
fications for the Supreme Bench, and
it is understood that the Governor
had him in view for original appoint-
ment, and would have appointed him
had he not been in the State Senate.
Nor is it certain that tho retirement
of Judge Ireland will leave Western
Texas without a contestant for the
United States Senatorsliip. Judge De
vine is already spoken of as a prob-
able candidate for that position.

Reagan spoke in favor of the majority
report, as did also DeMorse, who was se-
vere in his remarks upon pretentious re-
trenchment.
Russel, of Harrison, proposed that
members serve the State gratuitously.
McCormick thought that members who
were so patriotic ought to be allowed to
do so, and all others be allowed to re-
ceive what they pleased, up to five dol.
lars per day.
Russell's proposition was voted down,
it receiving only eight votes, ail being
Republicans but one.
The majority of the Committee on
Per Diem and Mileage reported recom-
mending five dollars per day and five
cents per mile mileage, by the most direct
traveling route, not to Tegard the de-
(lections made by railroads and water
routes, and five dollars per diem as pay
ment to officers of the convention.
McLean, for a minority, made a report
recommending that the per diem be fixed
at four dollars per day, and argued that
the amount should not be in excess of
the amount the convention would fix for
future Legislatures.
German offered an amendment to re-
duce the mileage.
Crawford offered a substitute to fix the
mileage at five cents of actual travel and
five dollars per day while en route to the
capital. Both amendment and substi-
tute were lost.
Dahoney objected to McLean's propo-
sition, as it allowed employes five and
members only four dollars per day.
The minority report was rejected and
the majority report adopted.
During the debate on the reports and
the amendments
retrenchment and reforms
were freely discussed.
Crawford's mileage proposition was
very fair, but not understood fully by
those to be benefited.
Stockdale, from the Committee on
Rules, reported rules for the govern-
ment of the convention, which were
adopted,and two hundred copies ordered
printed.
A resolution was adopted providing
for stationery and postage stamps for
delegates.
Crawford offered a resolution that the
Secretary of State be requested to fur-
nish members with digests containing
the constitutions of the State and general
government. Adopted.
Demorse offered a resolution that the
Governor be directed to defer his procla-
mation ordering the next
BIENNIAL ELECTION
until the people pass upon the new con
stitution, to which Brown offered a sub-
stitute, postponing the election, both of
which were referred to a special com
mittee on motion of Ballinger. The com
mittee consists of Ballinger, chairman
Reagan, West, Stockdale, Brown, J. L.
Henry and Demorse.
Raimey introduced a resolution to take
the Constitution of 1845 as a basis upon
which to build a new one. Referred.
McLean introduced a resolution requir
ing the Committee on General Provisions
to.frame an ordinance compelling an as-
sessment of all lands in organized coun-
ties at not less than one dollar per acre,
and in unorganized counties fifty cents
or over. Referred.
Stockdale moved that the rules be
amended so as to permit the disposition
of amendments by tabling without af-
fecting the original proposition. Adopted.
Russell, of Harrison, introduced a reso-
lution that the Convention hold one sea
sion each day, from 9 a. m. to 3 p. m. An
amendment was offered which changed
the time from 9 to 8 a. m , bjth of which
were tabled.
Fleming moved that members be al-
lowed twenty copies each day of such
daily papers as they may desire, such
papers to contain
a synopsis of the proceedings.
These to be circulated among their con-
stituents. Referred.
The Convention then adjourned till !)

receipts average 125 bales daily, selling
as follows : Ordinary 10f ; Good Ordi-
nary 12 ; Low Middling 13; Middling
131; Uood Middling 14.
Wheat still continues to come in freely,
and is estimated that not more than one-
third of the crop has been carried to
market. If this Ui true, the merchants
of Galveston have yet an opportunity to
reach for this rich trade. Wheat is sell-
ing to-day as follows: No. 2, $1 02 ; No.
3, 90c. Oats 33@35c. per bushel.
The fall races commence September

Tyler, Sept. 8,1875.
The Shreveport stockholders of the
Tyler Tap Railroad Company were pres-
ent at a general meeting of the stock-
holders iu this city to-day. The result of
the conference was that final arrange-
ments were made to secure the immedi-
ate completion of the remaining ten
miles to the junction with the Texas Pa-
cific road. It is to the interest of Galves-
ton to assist in the extension of this road
to Northern Texas. Nearly a sufficient
amount of stock has been raised to se-
cure the grading of the road to Mount
Pleasant, in Titus county. Hon. J. P.
Douglas, President, and Governor Hub-
bard, at the request of the stockholders,
addressed the meeting.
The weather is very warm. Cotton is

longing to a bridge gang on the Texas
and Pacific Railway, while stooping on
the top of their boarding car in the yard
at this place last night, fell off, striking
his shoulder and back against one of the
ties, which paralyzed his lower limbs,
and so injured his spine that he can
hardly Tecover. He was taken to Mar-
shall, where he will be cared for by the

Washington, Sept. 8.—The following
dispatch was received at the Executive
Mansion last night, from Gov. Ames, of
Mississippi:
Jackson, Miss., Sept. 7,1875.
To his Excellency U. S. Grant, President*
Waahingtoii, D. C.:
Sir—Domestic violence in its most ag-
gravated form exists in certain parts of
this State. On the evening of the 1st
instant, unauthorized and illegal armed
lx>dies overthrew the civil authorities of
Yazoo county, and took forcible posses-
sion of said county, from which the sher-
iff and the peace officers of the conntj
were compelled to flee for safety, and are
still refugees.
The sheriff of Ilinds'county reports
that since the 4th instant he has been
unable, after every effort, to maintain
peace and protect rights. He reports
various murders by unauthorized armed
bodies who are sco'uring the country.
Warren county is also reported as being
in a state of terrorism from tho demon-
strations of still other unauthorized
armed bodies, and a feeling of inse-
curity pervades in other counties of the
State.
After cafeful examination of all
the welfare of tite, country requires a
ust, generous and forbearing national
policy in the Southern States; a firm
refusal to use the military power, e*cept
for purposes clearly defined in the con-
stitution ; and the local enforcement of
national authority by those only who are
in sympathy with such a policy and will
heartily support it.
Second—Demands honesty in every
branch of the State and National Govern-
ment, and prompt punishment of mal-
feasance in office.
Third, fourth and fifth—Local.
Sixth—Further inflation of the cur-
rency, under any pretense, will be a pub-
lic calamity. The interest of honest in-
dustry and tho common welfare demand
a speedy return to specie payment.
Seventh—Taxes.
Eighth—Recognizing as conclusive the
President's public declaration that he is
not a cadidate for renomination, and with
sincerest gratitude for his patriotic ser-
vices, we declare our unalterable opposi-
tion to the election of any Prosident for ,
a third term.
Ninth—Schools.
Tenth—Indorsement of the Adminis-
tration.

lution failed.

CASUALTIES.
Explosion In a Factory—Several
Killed—Buildings Adjoining De-
stroyed.
Newark, N. J., September 8.—An ex
plosion occurred in the Celluloid Factory,
on Mechanic street, in the central portion
of the city, at C o'clock. About 30 men
were in the building at the time, but
some escaped uninjured. Three were
taken out by the firemen. One was
dead ; the others are not expected to re-
cover. It is supposed that twelve or
more yet remain in the building without
hope of rescue. The building was de-
stroyed by the shock, and flames burst
out in every direction. The firemen are
playing on the brick so they can look for
the bodies supposed to be in the ruinB.
Most of the employes are accounted for.
Some of the buildings on the oppose side
of the street had caught fire, but were
put out. Three buildings adjoining, oc
cupied by Philip Meyers, a railroad lock
factory, G. & J. Simmon's saddle factory
and Steward's coffee master, were de
stroyed ; aleo Bryant's livery Btables.

Special Correspondence of the News.-]
Austin, Sept. 0,1875.
Before the arrival of the train this
morning about fifty delegates had
reached the capiial. A stranger would
notice any one of them as above the av-
erage man in appearance of intellectual-
ity and force of character. Very many
communities have been fortunate in hav-
ing their ablest citizens to represent
them. Undoubtedly tbe foremost think-
ers and most patriotic citizens ot the class
not in office, and not chronic office-seeK-
ers, are here iathe^fe'onyention. Many of
them aro unused to parliamentary life
and unacquaninted with the tricks and
quirks of legislation, rope handling and
filibustering. These accomplishments
may be attained under the tutelege
of those who have, by practice in the
Twelfth, Thirteenth and Fourteenth Le-
gislatures, become adepts. There are
many delegates from the ranks of the
legal profession, where their practice in
special pleading will have fitted them fo*
the contests now before them.
many farmers are here,
some fresh from the plow handle, but
they are men of strong native intellect,
and, as a rule, thoroughly conversant
with public affairs and in the secrets of
the people more largely tnan any other
class represented in the convention. One
of the beat indications as to the result of
their labors is their appreciation of the
responsibility and a knowledge, they all
admit, of the great expectations which
have been aroused in the minds of the
people. While some are already trying
to hedge and to dodge the responsibility
by the plea in the beginning, that the
convention must not legislate, others see-
ing that their work must palpably show
to the expectant sovereigns that retrench-
ment and reform have been absolutely
inaugurated, are willing to institute
sweeping changes, radical reforms, and
aggressive hostilities against whatever
of wroDg exists in the organic law, and
whatever of oppressive power exists in
chartered monopolies. They had rather
plant themselves on such firm ground,
supported as it must be by the people,
than bend to the conservative lobby, re-
quiring upon their return home to give
an account of their stewardship so vast
an amount of explanation, so many pleas
of extenuation and depreciation. Nine-
tenths have been elected upon
an aggressive platform,
which will be the standard and the law
by which their actions will be judged.
It is the bane of professed reformers of
political or governmental wrongs that
when they assemble at the Capital
they leave their constituents away
down in the woods, and are thrown
every day and every hour in contact with
the affable, urbane, oily tongued lobby,
whoBe interests are directly opposed to
those of the vast body of citizens, and
insensibly, conservatism, so-called, be-
comes their master. Would not the peo-
ple return a greater proportion of their
representatives to the Legislature than
they do, if promises had been performed
and expectations realized'( Nine out of
ten go back home converted to^jenserva-
tiflm, and are shelved by their constitu-
ents. The tenth one. Bent back, is, if a
Democrat, aggressive in his ideas and
firm in action ; if a Radical, he has a
constituency who have plenty of wool,
easily pulled over their eyes.
Before this reaches you
the president of the convention
will be elected and the news telegraphed.
Now, it is a question of great interest.
Delegates themselves are generally in a
state of glorious uncertainty about it.
So many prominent and capable men
have been named, and their friends are
so sure in each case, that a party who
observes them all, and reflects upon the
number to be disappointed, and what a
curious and uncertain thing human na-
ture is, must not give an opinion if he
expects it to enhance the value of his
future prognostications. Some have it
that the office will not be sought or
aimed at with any idea of creating at the
outset a teat upon any of the questions to
be considered ; that there will be no po-
litical significance in the selection, and
that the question will simply be, who is
the man best calculated to expedite busi-
ness fairly and justly. Of course such
ideas may be crammed into the heads of
the marines. It may strike the delegate
from the fields of grain as a very proper
course to select the President best calcu-
lated to move business along. To do it
would astound the politicians. There
are
many candidates for the offices
of the convention. Secretaries, ser-
jeants-at-arms, doorkeepers and clerks
tiave to be elccted. Yesterday quite a
surprise in the ranks of candidates for
the chief secretaryship was created by
the announcement that Mr. SimpBon,
member from Liberty county iu the
Fourteenth Legislature, was a candidate.
Now there is talk that political signifi-
cance attaches to this gentleman's can-
didacy. He was a prominent and able
advocate of the claims of the Interna-
tional Bond bill, and it is talked that he
comes here to represent that interest. I
suppose he, like others, wishes to have
the office to bring him before the leading
men of the State, looking to ultimate
political advantage. Another candidate
for a secretaryship proposes to work
thirty days for the convention for
nothing, if delegates will work for the
State gratis. He Btands no chance of
working for nothing.
miscellaneous.
The Statesman, in making up a public
debt statement, classes interest to accrue
as debt. This is upon the same principle
that Glenn computed a million and a
half dollars of appropriations for the
current year as debt. In either case they
will be debt if not paid upon maturity,
but can not now be so considered.
Col. Flournoy and Judge Ballinger
have rooms at tlie Avenue Hotel, as also
Col. Crawford, Judge Reagan, Gens.
Whitfield and Darnell and a number of
Eastern delegates. Col. Killgore, of
Gregg, and King, of Kendall, are at the
Raymond House. Quite a large number
are at private boarding houses. Tbe
idea of fixing the per diem at five dollars
is not calculated to increase the length of
the session. Gentlemen boarding at these
hotels will have to keep down other ex-
penses or draw upon private resources.
Saturday all the
ten per cent bonds
of denomination above a hundred dollars
were exhaustel, and the hundred dollar
bonds not being in request, warrants
which had been in great demand for
funding, at once dropped. I heard of one
sale as low as 05c. It is likely they will
stand at about that figure until the con-
vention adjourns, when a further decline
may be expected.
Special Correspondence of the Nows.l
Austin, Sept. 7,1875.
The municipal campaign in Austin
waxeth warm. Speeches to the people
at the street corners by candidates for
Mayor are frequent, and almost of
nightly occurrence. The acta and policy,
especially the financial doings, of the
present city administration are fearlessly
criticised. Nominations by the political
parties these orators strongly oppose,
The people gather about them and listen
for hours. It iB a marvel, the patience
of theee audiences. Their interest in
the discussion of city affairs so intent,
and so exceptional in these times, when
in large townB the people are usually bo
apathetic, indicates a more than ordina<
rily intelligent population, or a condition
of affairs desperate or critical. There
are occasionally some extraordinary no
tions advanced by these candidates. Laat
night I stopped at the corner near the
telegraph office, and list ened to one of
them. It was too dark to see him. But
I could observe, from the respectful at
tention of the large crowd, that he was
getting in some interesting particulars.
One of his notions was peculiar, or
rather his illustration of a notion. Mak
ing war upon
DISCRIMINATING OCCUPATION TAXES,
a palpable injustice not confined to
Austin, he said: " Here is Mr. Bre
mond, the banker, sells a man a thousand
or so dollars in silver, the man staggers
along the street under his burden, and
the policcman, respectful to so large a
package of specie, assists him w ith his
load. Then a sturdy voter buys and
shoulders a hundred weight of flour
from our friend Brugerlioff for a few
dollars, and the ever polite policeman is
ready to help him along. But a patron
of our fellow-citizen, John Robinson,
spends his last quarter with him for
Bourbon, and because he staggers under
so small a weight, or sits down on the
sidewalk, he is forthwith carried to the
calaboose. The first two pay a license
tax of perhaps twenty-five dollars a year,
and the police help their customers home,
while John Robinson's little shebang
pays several hundred dollars, and his
customers are dragged and worried out
of all Christian temper by tho discrimi-
nating peelers. One's transactions are in
thousands, the other's iu quarters at .dol-
lars," etc.
It has lately come to be known that
the city collects in t&xeB about seventy
thousand dollars per annum, and this is
a snug little sum to handle, and there are
always a large number of patriotic citi-
zens who are willing to disburse it.
Austin's finances, however, are closely
watched.
TnE CONSTIUTION MAKING.
Yesterday, the first day of the session,
exhibited a very satisfactory working
capacity upon tho 1 art of the convention.
This body starts oil on the right foot.
The President seems, from his salutatory
address, to have the proper ideas of
their responsibility. There is much Big-
nilicance in his remark that " We have
not come here to make a constitution to
■please ourselves." This, from a lawyer
who is fully aware of the demands of
the people, would indicate that, in his
opinion, they had accepted a trust from
the people to do the bidding of the peo-
ple in a way perhaps not pleasing to
themselves. Then, again, he says in ef-
fect : " If we put anything in the new
constitution the people do not want, or
omit anything they demand or have a
right to demand, we will not have done
the work we were sent to do, and the
people will have to adopt a new mode,
or select other agents to do their bid-
ding." There can be no doubt as to what
the people want. Their expectations
are clearly and definitely defined in the
various platforms and the various
pledges to which their agents are bound.
These will not be forgotten"," and Mr.
President Pickett seems fully conscious
of the fact that there is a strong proba-
bility that they will be held to a full ac-
countability. I think
TnE PRESIDING OFFICER
one of the best that could be selected.
His selection of committeemen upon
standing committees to-morrow will test
his ability and sense of fairness. To-
day, in selecting a committee of fifteen,
he omitted the republican representation
altogether, and they say it is, indeed, as
Mr. Ireland intended, a Democratic Con-
stitutional Convention. I am inclined to
think his failure to appoint a Republican
upon that committee was owing to just
the contrary, in fact, to an absolute for-
getfulness of party at the moment, for the
very next committee, that on Rules of Or-
der, contains the leading Republican of the
convention, Hon. Webster Flanagan, who
is an able parliamentarian and who will
serve usefully upon the committee.
PERSONAL AND MINOR ITEMS.
Young Mr. Downs, representing the
Waco Ejsamincr, fell to the iloor in the
Raymond House, Sunday, and received a
severe shock. He had a suu stroke. To-
day he is able to be np.
Mr. Swindells, the veteran journalist of
Dallas, is here in tho interest of the Her-
ald. There is an array of reporters in
attendance exceeding in numbers and
dignity the Bohemian embassy to the
Fourteenth Legislature. If there is a
railroad lobby it keeps mighty dark.
The oldest citizens, or brevet centena-
rians, say no such long continued heated
term has ever been known in Austin.
Summer has continued as fiery as in July
and August to this hour. It is fine for
maturing cotton, and no doubt is to that
extent desirable, but it is not calculated
to develop work in the oppressive and
confined atmosphere of tho Representa-
tive hall after the novelty of constitution
manufacturing shall have worn off.

Navarro Co., August 7, 1875. )
Eds. News—In your issue of Sunday
last, you inveigh against Kansas City,
because, " in accordance with the ancient
custom," some cattle were penned i" t,ie
Kansas yard.1, and " the usual ^rdage
was " demtnded, although tie cattle were
consigned to the drops' " yard. You
style this an " Alg^rine Assessment."
They that live in glass houses should
not throw stoneB."
A far worse system has prevailed in
your city.'lo these many years !
All the cattle that pass through Gal-
veston Bay, although brought from
Houston or anywhere else by water, and
may never have been, or will never be,
within two miles of the wharves, being
transferred ftom barges or vessels in
Bolivar Roads or in the oiling, are obliged
to pay fifty cents per head to the Wharf
Company, the penalty being exclusion of
the vessel so taking cattle from landing
or receiving any freight whatever over
the Galveston wharves until the tax is
paid. All the cattle shipped by Allen.
Poole & Co. to New Orleans, and by
Chas. Morgan to Havana, amounting to
many thousands yearly, are thus arbitra-
rily assessed. And so of vessels inward
bound which may discharge any part of
their cargo into steamers or barges in the
Bolivar Reads, tlie^ull rate of Galveston
wharfage on all freight so discharged, is
exacted of them at the wharves before
they are allowed to take a pound of
freight as loading.
If the Kansas yardage for service ren-
dered is an " Algeriue assessment," what
must this extortion for obstructing trade,
without service rendered, be termed ?
