The imports of foreign merchandise at t'lis port
during the week ending November 10 were moder-
ate, tho total being $$,495,526. of which $6,791,022
represent general merchandise aud the remainder
($1,705,504) dry goods. Siuce January I the im
ports aggregate $338,838,650. compared with $435.
528,^1 for the corresponding period of 1582.
a ttew organizatinn, to be called the Naval Stores
and Tobacco Exchange, is in process of formation
in New York, aud went up papers for incorporation
to the office of the secretary o? state in Albany
earlr last week. The capital stocK is divided into
1000 sha- es, cacti share representing a membership
in the Exchange.
" We have had frequent occasion recently." say
the New York Commercial Bulletin, *' to notice tlie
rapul development of the cotton manufacturing in
duslry iu Iudia: and though this is more likely to
arrest the serious attention of the people of Ent?-
land than our-;, it is not without iuierest to us. Iu
dia is doing precisely what we ourselves are doin
—erecting cotton mills near the cotton fields, au-i
in some important respects her advantages are
much superior to ours. That country not only pos-
sesses tiit- raw material in great abundance, but it
also ha- the cheapest labor in the world, next to
that of »hf» Chinese. It is quite within the bounds
< f iiossibility. therefore, that ia Eastern markets, at
least, we may some day find that we can uot sue
ceesfulfy compete with these people."
An important movement is on foot in Oldham
namely, th* establishment of a limited company
for weaving velvets. Although cotton spinning is
the great industry of the town, yet manufacturing
i-; carried on to a considerable extent, but no
limited companies have cared to embark in it.
There is, however, no doubt that au earnest en
deavor will be ma le to see whether success can not
b" achieved in this branch of the trade a« well
The importance of the step thus mooted lies in the
fact that the desire is to concentrate a great weav-
ing as well as a great spinning industry, in the
town. To have both weaving aod spinning in th
same town, is considered to be a steo iu the right
direction, and tl.e development of any such move-
meilt wid b** watched with considerable interest
outside of Oldham. At the same time, while vel-
vets might be made into a profitable investment,
calico weaving is becoming less popular: and it is
stated that one large firm intends abandoning the
bu-iness a together.
The New York Commercial Bulletin has inter-
viewed a number of leading bankers and bank offi-
cials, relating to the question of bank circulation,
raised by the rapid retirement of the United States
3 per cent, bonds. In an editorial on the subject,
the Bulletin says:
It wid be rote>l that, as a rule, these gentlemen
are opposed to any great change in the law as it
now stands, and that very moderate concessions
would satisfy them. All asrree that the present
guarantee against the circulation is excessive; but
there ar» few who advocate a reduction that would
put the actual value of the deposit below the
am Mint of the not-s issued. There is equal una-
nimity as to the necessity of repealing the exist-
ing tax of 1 per cent, on the rates issued. These
two concessions would doubtless go far toward
counteracting the present disposition to trithdraw
live circulation. But they WvntId amount to noth-
ing 1 nore than a temporary adjustment.
A regular correspondent of the New Yorft Bui
letin, writiug from London, says that tlie course of
Hi ffcish trade for September, While not as good as it
might have been, stiil has been of considerable
volume, although the fall in values had been very
considerable;
The export figures for September show a de-
crease of £427,0^0, and for the first nine months of
the year of nearly two and a half millions sterling.
Tlie features of the month's exports have been,
briefly, an increase of cotton yarn nod a decrease
of manufactured goods, showiug that cur looms
are not at work as they ought to be,
and that we can, therefore, afford to ex-
port more yarn. There are decreases in pig-
iron and steel shipments, owing to a falling
off of American orders; but there are. on the other
hand, increases in shipments of machinery and
steam engines, while coal exports have been
tolerably good. The imports for September show
a decrease of £828,443, but in the whole nine
months there is an increase of £11,895.882: the
principal item of increase being for food supplies,
notwithstanding the fall of prices of almost all
commodities. The iron market has been in a de-
pressed condition, not so much for want of orders
as the very low prices, and iu the Glasgow district
several furnaces are now out. with the view of cer-
tain improvements by which a great saving will
accrue in the cost of production.
Monopolies do not appear to be confined to the
United States, as a London correspondent writes
that, with the exception of one small cohcern
which refuses to listen to the voice of the siren, all
the great metropolis is under one huge gaslishting
corporation, its capital account amounting to
nearly £13,000.000, while tho revenue at the end of
1883 will be about £4000 The writer says:
It is certainly the largest undertaking of the fcind
in the world, and there is no uotibt that the
saving of administrative expense will be a very
large item. At the same time, it is a question
whether these great monpolles are desirable. B th
gas and water companies have made themselves
particularly obnoxious in London for a long time
past, not so much for their high charges as for the
dictatorial mannerln which they treat the unfortu-
nate public, their customers. But. as far as gas is
concerned, the unfortunate public will probably
soon have their revenge by urging on the adoption
of the electric light at every possible opportunity
The Londoa Board of Trade annually publi-hes a
register of the wrecks occurring on the shores of
the British isles. During the year 1881-82 there
were 3660 shiopisg d -asters immediately around
and on the coasts of the United Kingdom, exceed-
ing the total of the previous year by 85. and result-
ing in the loss of 1007 lives, the corresponding num-
ber for the year 1880 81 being 984. This total of 3060
wrecks includes all sorts and classes of maritime
accidents, viz: wrecss involving t» til loss, partial
loss, collisions, etc.: and it i« a matter for satisfac-
tion to know that the cases of total loss declined from
705 to 60ti. and those resulting in loss of life from
238 to 235. so that the remaining 3054 casualties may
be looked upon as les* serious. The number of ves-
sels entering and leaving British ports, including
the Isle of Man and Channel isles, last year w-is
'6.S53, representing a tonnage of 130,443.791. and
carrying on boar-i uot far short of 4,000.000 people.
In discussing textile industries the New York Bul-
letin says tnat failures among manufacturers are
frequently due to a want of proper knowledge of
details, of costs or of markets, and remarks that:
The necessity for making more good and fewer
poor qualities is forcing itself upon the attention of
manufacturers in this country through the neglect
and unprofitableness of the Ia;ter in the home mar-
ket. and more attention is bestowed upon the sub-
ject of technical education. Whether more
° ipifal should go into manufacturing plant
ban our market requires, or whether
young men. untrained to handicraft aud
perhaps to thrift, shall occupy important and re-
sponsible positions in corporations, mav perhaps
be It-ft to the capitalists interested to decide; but
there is au apparent necessity for a class of youug
men thoroughly educated in all the sciences, and
trained to all the details of the textile arts, who
can be available to corporations that may seek to
improve the quality and character of their pro-
ducts, as well as to form the nucleus of a more
legitimate class of manufacturers.
8PIRIT OF THE MARKETS.
Of the cotton goods market tue NevT York Bul-
letin says:
Operations by buyers on the spot have been
111 ode rate in amouiit, but a slight improvement iu
the order demand was reported in some Quarters.
Fia n cottons are in steady request, and wide sheef-
ingsare a trifle more active, but the demand for
most descriptions of colored cottons is compara-
tively* light. Fancy cotton skirtings are more
sought after by skirt manufacturers, and fair sales
of leading makes are reported in exceptional
oases. Plain and fancy white goods are doing
pretty well, and popular makes are largely sold to
arrive. The most desirable plain and colored cot-
>ns are generally steady in price, aud stocks are
for the most part in v-ry good shape.
Concerning the Boston boot and shoe market, the
Shipping List says:
There has not been much trading in the boot and
shoe-market the past week, owing to the interrup-
tion caused by the election: but the number of
buyers has been increased and the conditions are
favorable for a steady improvement in the spring
trade from this time forward Several straight
orders have been secured, but buvers are disposed
to look the market over thoroughly before placing
their contracts for next season. There continues to
be some demand for goods for immediate ship-
ments. and several of the factories are still working
on fall lines. Prices are steady, and no material
change is looked for on one side or the other.
The same paper savs:
The wool market has been comparatively quiet
this week. Buy-"s have been few in number and
their wants neither pressing nor urgent, but at the
same time the sales amount to 2,328,200 pounds of
all kinds, which may be considered a fair business,
all things considered. The market remains pre
•isely the same as noticed for some weeks. Fine
wools, both combing aud clothing, are steady and
firm, but all oth<r*r grades are comparatively easy,
and, as usual on a quiet market, concessions have
been made in some instam es.
Refined sugars, says the New Y'ork Bulletin,
have been dull all around, aud the tone is easier,
with even the light production more than balancing
the outlet. Quotations are as follows:

Ion by Walker, P. J , adopted. Action of" trespass
to try title by appellant against appellee. Defend-
ant plead res adjudicata. That within a year pre-
ceding this suit, the plaintiff aued defendant in
Frio couutjr for the same land which suit upon
change of venue to Bexar county was decided iti
defendant's favor; thit the issues then involved
were tlie questions of an uncertain disputed boun-
dary between the parties which are involved in
this suit. Both suits were filed before the Revised
Statutes went into effect, but the plea of res adju-
dicata aud the trl«l of the cause was subsequent
.thereto. Trial before court without a jury; pl^a
of res adjudicata sustained. Held, the plaintiff
was not deprived under the provisions of the Re-
vised Statutes of his right to prosecute his second
action. [Hail vs. Wooters. 51 Tex., 231; Sanchez
vs. Ramirez, 5S Tex.. 318. j Reversed and remauded.
Dicker-ox vs. Devereaux et al.—From Wise
county. Opinion by Delany, J.. adopted. The
only ground upon which appellant questions the
survey to appeli-e l>onald, is that it was uot ac-
tually made m the field. He does not object to the
file made bv Dbnald on the laud, (for the title i* per-
fect in every particular, aud was duly entered up-
ou the surveyor's book.i nor does he claim that tne
survey made for Dona'd does not correctly describe
the land. His only objection is that the deputy
survevordid not literally comply with the require-
ments of the statute in maicing the survey (R. S.,
art. 3841-2.) in that he did not administer the re-
quired oath to the chain-carriers, make the survey
upon the ground, and subscribe the names of the
chain-carriers to tlie fieid notes. The surveyor
testifies that the land upon which Donald filed was
entirely sur; ouuded by patented lands; that he knew
the lines of these surveys to be correct; that he es-
tablished the beginning corner and adopted, in the
field notes, the lines of these-surrounding surveys.
Held, under the peculiar circumstances of this case
we do not think that the failure of the surveyor to
romply literally with all the requirements of the
ta?ute should render the claim of Donald invalid.
Affirmed.
Lock vs. Riley—From Wheeler county. Opinion
by Wat is, J., adopted. From the state in which
the record is presented to us, it is impossible to de-
termine the true merits of the appeal. It is not
possible tor us to say whether the title to the land
was involved or only the title to the house. From
the findings of the" judge it seems that appellant
was at least entitled to one-half inter st iu the
house Such being the state of the record, it is
deemed best to reverse and remand the cause, that
its true merits may be determined on proper plead-
ing. Reversed and remauded.
Ezell vs Dodson—From Hopkins county. Opin-
ion b> Willie, C. J. The right to sue for damages
for a tort is a chose in action, aud property, within
the legr.1 sense of that term. Our statute prescribes
who shall be parties plaiutlff in suits to recover the
separate property of the wife. If the right to sue
for injuries to the wife caused by an assault and
battery committed upon her persou was by law her
separate property, as at common law, the proper
parties plaintiff would be the husband and wife, or
if he refused to join, the wife could sue alone. Only
such property as is acquired by gift, devise or de
scent becomes the wife's separate estate. All
other property becomes community property. Pro-
. erty derived by personal trespass is not a gift, de-
vise or descent, and is community property. Where
the petition merely alleged that the husband and
wife were separated, not giving the circumstances,
or continuance thereof, and only states the hus-
band and wife were living apart, and the husband
refuses to join her in the suit, it is not sufficient.
A married womau living separate from her hus
band, can not sue to recover damages for au as-
sault and battery committed upon her during
coverture, when her husband refuses to join her.
Affirmed.
Bowles vs. Beale et al.—From Navarro county.
Opinion bv Stayton, J. A deed describing the land
conreyed as " an undivided one-third of one-sixth
of a league of land in Navarro county, Texas,
patented to Elijah Powers, the same being one-third
of an interest iusaid land, heretofore conveyed by
the sheriff of said c >uuty of Navarro toJ. P.
Bolwes an l J. F. Jeffries,1' is sufficiently certain to
be admitted in evidence. Reversed and re
manded.
Pettingill vs. Bemis—From Marion county.
Opinion by Willie, C. J The facts of this case do
not differ materially from that of Barron vs.
Thompson (5-1 Texi s. 235), which determines this
case. The judgment was obtained while the act
of November 9. 1860, entitled "an act to prevent
judgments from becoming dormant and to create
and preserve liens," was in force. The lapse of
time between the issuance of the last execution
(the one under which the land was sold), and the
next preceding one, was about seven years. This
was enough to destroy the judgment lien, and no
such lien existed when Mre. Bemis bought the land
from the defendant in execution, and she took the
land free from all incumbrances as far as said
judgment lien was concerned; hence the appel
lants buying at sheriff's sale under the last execu-
tion snbsequentlv to her purchase, took no title
whatever. Affirmed.
Collins vs. McDaniel et al. — From Panola
county. Opinion by Stayton J. Where the cause
was continued at the one term, and even at the
next succeeding term, no injury could have re-
sulted by the court allowing J. H* McDaniel to be-
come a party. Where witnesses are absent,
party should obtain a continuance, but if he an-
nounce ready for trial, aud take the chances for
judgment, a new trial should not be granted
because of these absent witnesses if the materiality
of their testimony is known before the trial com-
mences and no effort is made to postpone the trial
to procure their attendance. The court correctly
referred to the jury io determine the amount to be
recovered for the expense incurred in regainin:
stock escaped because of appellant's wrong. Af
firmed.
Sparks et al. vs. Pace—From Navarro county.
Opinion by Stavton, J. Pace had a right to subject
the cotton to his execution, although Sparks held ~
prior valid mortgage on It. [Rev. Stats., art 2290._
A sale under his execution would have divested no
right of Sparks under his mortgage; the purchaser
would have bought subject thereto. If, after sale
under the execution, tbe purchaser thereat had
attempted to impair, or defeat his right, Sparks
could have sued on his claim, whether due or not,
9ml might have made the veudee at the execution
sale a purchaser, and have seauestered the property.
[Rev. Stats, arts. 4489.4493.i Sparks was not entitled
to a suit for the trial of the right of property, for
he was not in possession, nor eutitled to possestion
of the property. Thus, by bringing such a suit he
prevented Pace from exercising his right to have
the cotton sold and impeded him in his remedy for
about a year, and the judgment provided by
statute w is properly entered against him (Sparks).
Nor was he entitled to au injunction to s ay this
judgment on the ground that since its rendition he
had obtained a judgment on his claim, and had
sold the cotton taken under bis bond in the trial of
the right of property Not returning the property
judgment under the statute was properly rendered
against him and his sureties. Affirmed.
of hii words, aptly chosen, to convey his meaning,
carried conviction and made him invincible io a
jusr cause. There was a clearness in his argument,
whether on law or facts, which enabled
the simplest understanding, to grasp his
meaning, and thus against his concise
logic, which he rivlted with deliberate
words on the memory of his hearers, all the sophis-
try of empty eloquence broke in vain. With sim-
plicity or speech and deep earnestness, he mar-
shaled his facts and argued their force, until his
case was presented clear as a sun beam. No one
ever saw him take a note of testimony during the
most protracted trial, however complicated the
facts, or numerous the witnesses. On tho tablets
of his memory he relied with perfect faith, and I
can not remember that I ever heard his statement
of evidence successfully coatradicted.
In his practice he observed the loftiest courtesy
and purest ethics.
As a reporter of the Supreme Court he had no
superior. A clear discrimination, and happy faculty
of grasping and presenting the very kernel of a
cause, distinguished his syllabus, and never left
the reader in donbt as to the scope and meaniug of
" decision
An ardent love for the mighty State that honored
and elevated him, was a part of his nature. Her
soil, climate and expanding greatness, as an un-
divided empire from the mountains to the sea, I
have often beard him refer to with pride and
exultation.
But as a Supreme Judge of Texas his most last-
ing reputation was achieved. We know not which
most to admire in him. a rigid regard for estab-
lished law, or the boldness with which be would
attack its semblance, whether reposing in prece-
dent or fortified with the names of great men. I
am not alone in oelieving that he was the best
chancery practitioner in Texas, and thus, when
justice required that what seemed the har^hn-^
of law should not prevail, his quick sense of right
recognised the demand, while his knowledge of
eouity applied the remedy.
From the bar to the bench he carried that kindly
regard for the young lawyer which marked all his
intercourse, and if at times he seemed impatient
with the older lawyers, we soon f rgot the hasty
words wrung by pain from the weary and exhaust-
ed frame. It is but simple justice to 6ay that no
jurist living or dead did more than he to fettle on
a permanent basis vexed questions of land aw
arising under our complex system. From Avers
Dupree, down to his last utteran e. our Rep r s
are luminous with his profound learning. <viear
analysis and cogent reasoning. In sustained digni-
ty on the bench, chaste demeanor, and the fearless
utterance of honest convictions, he has had few
equals—no superiors.
But 1 would do injustice to him as a judge, and
be recreant to duty as a friend, now that he is gone,
if I failed in this soletnn moment to rescue his
memory from the aspersion <5onvpyed in the lan-
guage of a military order that once removed him
rrom his high place.

Proceedings in the Supreme Court at
Tyler, npon tho Presentation of the
Resolutions of th9 Bar in IVIemoryof
the I«ate Chief Justice Kloore-
The Supreme Court being in session at Tyler,
yesterday morning, Judge Terrell arose and,
presenting the resolutions of the Supreme
Court bar on the death of the late Chief Justice
Moore, spoke as follows:
May it please your honors: The Hon. George F.
Moore, once chief justice of this court, has passed
from a life of labor to rest That mind which ex-
plored all the philosophy of law. and grasped with
the aid of a quick conscience the equity which is
born of abstract justice, will labor for us no more.
The hand that once held aloft th® scales of justice
for Texas is cold, and will never again trace the
words that vindicated her majesty, or construed
her laws. The duty remains on those of us who
knew him well, to leave some testimonial of our es-
timate of his worth, before we also shall rest.
To me is committed the mournful duty of ad-
dressing your honors concerning his life and uublic
services. How ahall I impartially perform it? for
to me he was a friend valued and true. If he could
now be heard, he would direct me as Cromwell did
his painter, to present him as he was, with no
wrinkle or fault disguised—and thus I shall speak
of him. He was born in Georgia, on the 17th of
July, 1822. bein£ the seventh son of his parents.
Growing up in Alabama, he studied in the univer-
sity of that State, and the University of Virginia,
though he was a graduate of neither. At
the age of eighteen he began the study of
law. and received his license to practice from
Judge Shortridge, thea a circuit judge of Alabama.
I am informed by Governor Roberts, woo first
knew him as a boy, that in his youth he was dis-
tinguished by a taciturn, retiriug manner, and an
application to study, that marked him through af-
ter life. Removing' to Eastern Texas in 1S46, he
brought with him poverty, that priceless gift to the
voung, which made labor a necessity and gave
spurs to his desire for independence. He removed
to Austin in 1854, and afterward to Nacogdoches,
where he resided until appointed a reporter of the
decisions of the Supreme Court. After the break-
ing out of war between the States, he was elected
colonel of the Seventeenth Texas cavalry, which
positiou he resigned in 1804, on receiving netvs of
his election as an associate justice of the Supreme
Court. In 1806, when Texas was in process of what
was termed reconstruction, he was again elected
to the Supreme bench and by his associate judges
was made chief justice, from which position he was
removed by military power, in a period of profound
peace and under circumstances to which I will soon
refer.
From 2866 to 1874 he practiced his profession in
Austin: and when in 1874 the people, for the
first time in seven years, resumed peaceful con-
trol of the State, "he was appointed again an
associate justice- of the Supreme Court. After the
constitution of 18;C was adopted he was elected to
the same position by the pt ople. In 1878, on the
resignation of Chief Justice Roberts, he was ap-
pointed to succeed him, and soon afterward was
eiected chief justice by the people by over 100.000
majority. Here, like a galley slave, he labored un-
til. with health broken and eyesight impaired, he
resigned ou the 1st day of ^November, 18^1, and
after a hopeless effort to regain health sacrificed in
the ministration of justice at this high altar, he
died, far from his State and home.
. It is sometimes thought that unmerited praise is
oftener spoken than truth over the graves of men.
On the contrary, tne impartial judgment of aeon-
teniporarv can best be rendered after the death of
a good man. In life his virtues are standing cen-
sors of our imperfections, and we find consolation
in observing his faults. At the grave a conscious-
ness of our own frailties helps us to judge charita
blv of the dead, and forgetting the smaller faults
common to us all. his good traits stand unobscured
to challenge our emulation.
Those who knew Judge Moore best forgot the
judge in admiration of the man. No one ever felt
a warmer devotion to his family and friends, or il-
lustrated better in his daily life a tender solicitude
for the one, or unselfish regard for the interests of
the other. If asked to mention what to the casual
observer chiefly distinguished him in social life, I
would answer-au unaffected simplicity and mo-
desty in all his ways. Gentle as a child in his in-
intercourse with men, he exhibited the very re-
verse of that air of haughtiness, which somtimes
settles ou vain natures in high places.
As a lawyer, he was laborious and careful In the
preparation of his case, and if its decision involved
only law arising on recorded or admitted facts, he
was always ready.
As ao advocate he never soared to impassioned
eloquence, or attempted to capture a verdict by an
appeal to rhe heart,* but addressed himseir to the
understanding and conscience. His delivery of
every sentence impressed the hearer with con-
fidence in his truth* and the deliberate earnestness
mandiug had determined to make, by their sacri
fi<*e, a terrible example. Unless rescued by the
ivil law, their doom was sealed. For them Chief
Justice Moore issued writs of h »beas corpus, which
*ere disregarded by order uf the commanding gen
eral, on the ground that the Confederate Congress
had passed an act suspending the writ Judge
Moore, una wed by power, then rose to the full dig-
nity of a fearless judge, and delivered the opin-
ion (State vs. Sparks, 27 Texas. 633) in wh vi-
will be found these memorable words: "If
the refusal to obey the writ was bv order
of the commanding general, then he is the principal
offender. Those by whom he has perpetrated
glaring an outrage upon the law and au.hority of
tiiis court, are alike his subordinates in criminality
as inferiors in rank. * * Better, by far. would it
be for the prisoners who are in custody, though
doubly guilty beyond all that is charged against
them, to go unwhipped of justice than for the civil
authorities to be subordinated to military contr •!
and made dependent on the consent of'the latter
for the discharge of its functions.''
The commanding general bowed his head, purged
himself of the contempt, and the doomed men.
rescued by the hand of law from a drum head
court-martial, were restored to their families. Such
wax the action of a Texas judge when the tinkle of
a secretary's bell condemned unheard the citizens
t>f other States to military bastdes. 1 low can pos-
terity »>elieve that, when the clash of arms had
ceased and sweet peace had come again to bles^ the
laud, this iudge, so loyal to the hi^h trust reposed
in him by tne people, was removed from the bench
by a military satrap as an " impediment to recon
at ruction " of civil government? Of his associate
impediments, one now represents this State i-» th-
United States Senate, and another presides as chief-
justice of this court.
This man, who painfully wrought to build up our
jurisprudence, hau his faults—and who has not?
But they were so small that, by contrast, his many
virtues only show the more conspicuous.
Such was the man who, for long years, repre-
sented. iu a co-ordiuate department, the peace and
dignity of the State, and upheld the supremacy of
law. During all his pubiic service not even a
breath of suspicion from any citizen of Texas
stained the whiteness of his ermine. Though he
fell with his harness off, in the sweet stillness of a
summer morn, far away, and in the arms of her
who, for over thirty years had soothed and loved
him, it was here, and in the consultation room, that
his death wound was inflicted. The casket was too
frail for the labor which the mighty spirit enforced,
and the high duty of measuring justice to others
made him forgetful of duty to himself.
He died with a simple faith in the goodness and
mercy of his Creator, and has left an example to
sarve for a guide, a blessing, and an inspiration.
I now move, your honors, that the following reso-
lutions of the Supreme Court bar be recorded ou
the minutes of the court:
To the bar of tne Supreme Court at Tyler: The
committee of the bar appointed to prepare resolu-
tions expressive of th ir feelings on the occasion of
the death of the Hon. George F. Moore, respect-
fully report the following:
Resolved, 1. That the announcement of the sud-
aen death of the Hon. Georg» F. Moore. late chief
justice of the Supreme Court of this State, forcibly
reminds us that we, too, must soon pass away, and
call forth our profoundest sympathies for the
family of one who, by his long life of public service
as soldier, reporter for the Supreme Court, asso-
ciate justice and chief justice of the Supreme Court
of Texas, endeared nimself to the people of the
State.
Resolved, 2. That by his death Texas has lost one
of her ablest jurists; the law one of its most accom-
plished lawj-ers, aud society a patri' tic and upright
citizen, who, by his learning, energy and fidelity to
duty in every sphere of action, had endeared him-
self to the bar of the court; and we now, with
heartfelt grief, condole with the famil3 of the ce-
ceased in their affliction.
Resolved, 3. That the Hon. A. W. Terrell, a
member of this committee, be requested to present
these resolutions to the Supreme Court of this
State, now in session at Tyler, with a request that,
they be spread upon its minutes; that the Hon. S.
Reaves be requested to present a copy of tne same
to the Court of Appeals, now also in session at
Tyler, with a reouest that they be spread on the
minutes of that court: and that the secretary fur-
nish a copy to the family of the deceased.
Thos. W. Dodd,
Chairman of Committee.
Upon the conclusion of Judge Terrell's remarks,
the court responded in these words:
The court fully indorses the sentiments ex-
pressed in the resolutions which have been read,
and also what has been so well said in the remarks
accompanying their presentation.
Perhaps no lawyer who practiced at the bar of
our State or sat upon the highest judicial bench
was more universally known and admired than ihe
distinguished jurist whose death we to-day com-
memorate. His circuit of practice while at the bar
extended over a larger extent of country than that
of any other member of the Texas bar. His fame
as a talented and successful lawyer brought him
offers of business from distant portions of the Stat^,
which he the more readily accepted, as he thereby
secured opportunities for travel and exercise so
much demanded by a feeble constitution, likely to
be undermined fcy a sedentary life. By *his means
he became personally known to all the leading law-
yers of the State, participated in their social gather-
ings, and measured weapons with them in the
forensic arena. His warm hearted, genial nature
and cheerful conversation endeared him to his asso-
ciates, and his learning, logical power and ability
in the management of causes insured him the re-
spect of his professional brethren.
In the course of a few years of practice he ac-
cumulated a large amount of property, which en-
abled him to leave the more lucrative labors of the
bar for a position on the Supreme bench. The re-
putation acquired by him was so great that when a
vacancy occurred upon that bench in 1862, all eyes
were turned to him as the proper person to fill it,
and he was immediately chosen to the position.
Much was expected of him in his new station by
his frieuds, aud he did not disappoint them.
During the many years that he performed the
duties of a judge of this court he enjoyed the full
confidence of the bar aud of the people. His de-
cisions were generally accepted as true exposi-
tions of the law of the cases in which they were
rendered, and were regarded with more than ordi-
nary respect.
When, from disease and failing eyesight, he was
partially unfitted for the manual labor of his office,
it was the general desire that he should continue iu
his position, that we might have the beuefit of his
great learning iu consultation with his brethren.
Aud not until it became almost impossible for him
to render aid even in this respect, except at the
hazard of his life, were we willing to give him up
ana acquiesce in his retirement to private life.
It was ray good fortune to be well acquainted
with Judge Moore from the very beginning of my
career as a lawyer to the date of his death: to be
socially intimate with him; to contend with him at
the bar. and to sit with him as a colleague upon
this bench.
To give my opinion of his mental and moral
character would be to express in other and less
descriptive lauguage what has been so weH
said by the gentleman who presented the reso-
lutions. Whether at the bar or on the bench he
was always the great lawyer: in private life he Was
ever the true friend. There was one quality, how
ever, which h^ possessed in an eminent degree,
that I may be pardoned for mentioning, so rare is it
among the judges of the land. I allude to the
faculty of yielding his opinions to the arguments
of others when convinced that he was in error.
The secrets of the consultation-room shoula not
ordinarily be revealed, but I may go far enough to
say that there are cases in the twenty-
ninth aud thirtieth volumes of the Texas
Reports in which Judge Moore yielded
his own preconceived notions of the
law, to what he considered the better sustained
views of his colleagues-cases in whicb. alter
many days of debate among the judges, he not only
consented to decisions adverse to his original judg
ment of what the law was. but, in some of them,
delivered the opinions of the court in so deciding
them. This is an admirable trait in a judge of any
court, and more especially in one of the last re-
sort, so prone are judges generally to adhere to
preconceived opinions, however hastily formed.
Upon surveying the lives of the eminent lawyers of
our own or "of former times, of how few can it be
said that they have attained the front
rank of their profession; have amassed a
fortune by their practice: have filled the
highest judicial positions in the State: have
enjoyed the universal esteem of their contempora-
ries as pure and honorable men: have retired topr-
vnte life, regretted by all classes of their fellowi
citizens, and gone to a grave bedewed with the
t**ars of thousands of friends, and cursed with the
ill-will of not a single enemy?
Yet all this can be truthfully said of our distin-
guished brother.
Unfortunately such successes achieve but an
ephemeral fame. How few of the great and good
lawyers of former times have had their names
transmitted to posterity by reason of such qualities
and actions, unaccompanied by political position.
The reputation of such men, eminent alone
for talent, virtue and genuine worth, usu-
ally fades with the flowers placed
by loving hearts upon their tomb. But
as long as the bench and bar of Texas shail rever-
ence these decisions of the Supreme Court which
are founded upon correct principles of law and
equity, and enforced by unanswerable logic, de-
cisions which have settled rights and titles accord-
ing to the very truth and justice of the case, so
long will the name of George F. Moore be remem-
bered as one of the most learned, able and eminent
of those who have exj>ounded the laws of our State,
and given its judiciary an honored rank among the
courts of the American Union.
The resolutions and the address which ac-
companied their presentation will be 6pread upon
the minutes of this court as a perpetual memorial
of our regard and esteem for the departed ex chief
justice; and as a further token of such respect, the
court will now stand adjourned.

The Plymouth Republican says: The Wabash
management of the Indianapolis, Peoria aad
Chicago is becoming more satisfactory to em-
ployes than formerly. During the past two
months they have l»een paid promptly on time,
two payments being made in each month, en-
abling the company to catch up with all
arrears. The toys, of course, feel better, and
the Wabash will do butler work than it has
been doing heretofore.

Pennsylvania railroad .officials have recently
been testing a new style of the passenger looo-
motive among the mountaiu grades between
Pittsburgh an i Altoona. The new engine is,
it is said, much larger than any now in use,
aud has the power of one of tlie famous Mo-
docs used in the freight department. The
boiler runs back to the foot-board and goes
almost to the roof of the cab, the engineer and
tireman having perches alongside of it. The

The Evolution of the Semaphore*
i.Railroad Gazette.]
There seems to be some danger that In this
country semaphore signals may be improved to
death. Those who are afflicted with too much
ingenuity attack the mechanism for working
them, the arrangement of lamps, and, in fact,
every detail of construction is exposed to the
meddlesomeness of over-inventive. Now. the
fact is that semaphores were used more than
200 years ago for visual telegraphic communi-
cation, and they continued to be used for that
purpose until they were displaced by
the electric telegraph. They were in-
troduced on British railroads more than
forty years ago. and since then have been
subjected to a process of evolution and to some
of the ablest engineers and many of the most
experienced railroad managers in the world.
They li: ve been multiplied so that there are
now tboasauds of them in use. Their defects
have been investigated after many railroad
accidents, and they have been constantly sub-
jected to searching criticism by the ablest ex-
perts in Great Britain. Now it would, of
course, be the greatest folly to say that sema-
phore signals have attained perfection, and
are incapable of improvement; but, it may be
asked, what probability is there that a person
who has never seen semaphore signals in use,
who knows very little about the way in which
they fulfil their special functions, who has
had no opportunity of seeiug the ac-
cidents to which they are exposed, or
the way that their indications may
be misconstrued, what probability is there that
such a person will make an improvement which
would uot, long ago, have suggested itself to
some of the hundreds of thousands of people
who have been observing their action in a cli-
mate in which it is especially difficult for sig-
nals to fulfill their purpose, and on railroads
where traffic is very much greater than that of
most of our American lines? While nothing
could be farther from our purpose than to in-
terj>ose any obstacles in the way of develop-
ment of ingenuity or invention, nevertheless
there is a g: cat deal of ignorant invention, and
a railroad manager who will regard any pro-
posed improvement of semaphore signals as be-
longing to that class of inventions will run lit-
tle danger of being wrong.
Dynographing-the Central-Hudson*
[Rochester Democrat.!
Superintendent George H. Burrows, General
Headmaster V. D. Otis and assistants, also
several other Central Hudson officials, arrived
in the city from New York last evening, by a
special train drawn by locomotive 522. At-
tached to the train was the Dudley track in-
spection car, with which the party are making
an examination of the entire road, from Buf-
falo to New York. A description of the car
has been given before, and readers of this
paper are doubtless familiar with the method
by which it works. The line of the Gentral-
Hudson road is traced on a roll of paper two
aud oue-half miles long, at a scale of fifty feet
to an iu h, and every defect or irregularity in
the track is noted and located by the machine
as the car passes over it, by a faint
spot on the track aud an ink mark on
the paper. The entire examination takes up
one book, in which the defects in each mile are
summed up, the general condition of the track
giveu, the number of stations and mile-posts
noted, beside other information regarding the
road which is of the highest importance to a
railroad company. Mr. Dudley stated to a re-
porter that offers have been received from
several prominent English and European rail-
ways to have him bring the invention to Eu-
rope, but he is too busily engaged at. present in
this country to accept the offers. The car has
been built five years, and during that time has
traversed all the principal railways in the
Eastern and Middle States, in every case with
the most satisfactory results. The Central
Hudson is said to be in excellent condition so
far as examined.
For cementing rubber or gutta-percha to
metal Mr. Moriz Grossman, in his year book
for 1833, gives the following recipe: Pulverized
shellac, dissolved in ten times its weight of
pure ammonia. In three days the mixture wiii
be of the required consistency. The ammonia
penetrates the rubber, aud enables the shellac
to take a firm hold, but as it all evaporates in
time the rubber is immovably fastened to the
metal, and neither gas nor water will remove
it. ^

A Question of Timer
[St. Louis Railway Register.]
Standard time will hereafter be more
uniform, as the recently adopteu system will
go into effect on the 18th of this month. The
ger eral features of the new plan have been
outlined by the press of the country, so that
the public has become fam liar with the
changes. At present fifty-six different standards
are in use upon our railways, and there is more
or less confusion as the result. It is puzzling
even to a railway man himself to keep track
of them so as not to miss connections when he
travels, and much more is this the case with
the less experienced. After the 18th, there
will be but four standards, each differing just
one hour from the other. Valley time, which
corresponds practically to that of St. Louis,
^ ill prevail in the States lying between the
Alleghanies and the Missouri river.
It speaks well for the system that it has been
so universally approved by all railway officers.
In the East, the New England roads adopted it
without a dissenting voice, and in the other
time conventions there was no opposition
worthy of the name. The scientific men have
given it their hearty approbation and the
new'gpapers have all spolien in favor of the
changes.
Local time is of no consequence except as a
convenience. It is arbitrary at the best, and
a change of even thirty minutes can be made
without causing the slightest inconvenience or
embarrassment. The next move will be to
abolish the confusing division of the day into
a. rc. and p. m., and number the hours from
one to twenty-four. _ _____
