The HunUviile Item calls it
"the odious Sunday law."
Developments by the land
fraud committee may soon be
expected.
The object of the banker's
convention now in session at
Saratoga, N. Y., is to secure a
reduction of the taxes now as-
sessed against national banks.
* A fearful fomado at Monc-
ton, 011 the 7th carried
away a large bridge, the tower
of the Catholic church and de-
stroyed eighty buildings. Three
persons were killed.
The law oreatin^thc court of
errors does not go into effect
until October 9. A News spe-
cial says the speculation as to
<\vho will be the judges is pre-
mature. They have all been
picked out.,
The Dallas H-C., of the 8th
inst., reports the receipts 'of the
first bale of new cotton. Here
in Brenham our first bale was
received ^(ity X^tb, * or'three
weeks earlier than our Dallas
county 'friend?.

The Lampasas..Pjspatch say§
the wortmessriess' aria incom-
petency of the late so-called
democratic legislature and some
of state officials have' tended to
strengthen the hopes of the
Texas greenbackers.

Oeficial information has
been received by the govern-
ment from Berlin, that the Ger-
man government is inclined to
modify its 'position on the sil-
ver question'and will discuss
with the United States steps
looking to the adoption, inter-
nationally, of a bi-m&tahc cur-
rency
Senator Beck, of Kentucky,
recently made a speech in
Louisville, in which he is accus-
ed of facing both ways. He
made an effort to conciliate tihe;
greenbackers and the hard-
money democrats. He said
the real* issue which concerns
>most vitally tflie business me^ of
this counfr^ relates to the cur-
rency. We have already enter-
ed upon a new era in bur com-
mercial history since** the re-
sumption of specie jp«yments.

sion of this road would give us
communication with all the

"people of Lagrange are not

lishes a letter from Waters S.

tained that he is not 'to be im-

purpose. When men wtfte com-
munications to newfifapers cal-

When the iMbntgomery road
shall have been completed to
Brenham, it may be in a condi-
tion to extend its line and the,
probability is by that tii^e the
Sarita Fe foad wifl be well on
its way to Belton, if not already
there. Past experience l?as
demonstrated that it is the eas-
iest matter in the world to build
railroads' on paper; however, it
is necessary that t^iey be talked
and, written up as a preliminary
move towards giviiig them a

thing now to be accomplished
of investment, new railroads are
projected, and new'branches' of ^ ^lose interested is, arousing
public interest in the enterprise;
as soon'as t"h!e people of Fiyet^
