ENGLISH BEGGING.-We copy the following Tex
tract from an advertisement iu the London Times,
as specimen of English beggary quite common.
Money is generally asked for, to be addressed to

myself and family before you this morning. am
n poor cufate of the Church of England, unable

FROM TExAa.

GALVESTON papers to the l7th Instant hay. boon
receisad--they contain little news. There had
been some heavy rains, which had done considera
bic damage to The crops.
The Galveston News of the 18th, contains the
following discouraging paragraph in regard to the
gold rumors:
On Saturday morning, the steamship Mexico
arrived from Indianola, bringing number of
passengers of whom were directly from
the diggings aud others from the nearest towns
in the vicinity. We conversed With several of
them, and they all coucurred in the statement
that there was gold in that region, bat that it
had not been found in sufficient quantities to paw
for the labor OF getting it. Col. Mont gomery, of
the u. S. Army, who was from San Antonio, as
sured us that 1t was there considered all a hum
bug lie had seen numbers from the mines
who reported the same thing, namely, that they
could not make gold enough to make it pay.
The Austin Gazette says TINT specimens of
iron ore had been found in Hamltons Valley.
which contained 60 per cent. of pure iron. The
same paper says
In this region. we have discovered gold, stone
COAL salt springs, several varieties of marble of the
most beautiful quality, and all in the most mag
nlfcent abundance. All we now need to deveope
these rich mines of wealth is railroad communi,
cation with the gulf and the northern cities.
Ell PAso.-The Ell Paso mail train arrived Mt
San Antonio on the 9th instant. having left
Santa Fe on the 18th ultimo, and Ell Paso on the
goth ultimo. The train was attacked or the 25tl
by party OF Indians who succeeded in dispensing
all the mules of the party, and killed a man
named Sanford. The Indians were very trouble
some all along the route. The San Antonio
Ledger of the 18th learns from the Captain of
the train, that General Trias. from chihuahua,
had thrown $50 men into FL Paso to sustain the
disputed territory of Lanarcia. (perhaps not
spelled right,) until the boundary was deter.
mined; and there rumor that 5000 were

TEXAS.

The Legislature of Texas assembled at Austin on
the 10th ultmo. Governor BELLS message is a
voluminous and elaborate document. 1t speaks at
length of the protection of the frontiers and ex-
presses the belief that the PRESIDENT has been ac-
tuated by proper regard for the interests of Texas
1t says, however, that the military department is
insufficient for its responsibilities.
Touching the public debt, the message claims for
Texas the right to settle it without the interfe-
renee Of any other Power; yet, under the circum-
stances the proposition before Congress pay the debt

ment and issuing three per cent bonds in their place. il

OUR RELATIONS WITH ENGLAND.

The London papers received by the Cunard
steamer africa mentioned that by order Of the
Government that vessel was detained one day be-
yond her regular time of departure from Liverpool
that she might bring out important dispatches from
Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Minister of Foreign Affairs,
to the British Minister at Washington and in the
New York Courier Of Tuesday last we find tele-
graphic letter from this city, stating that the same
steamer brought important dispatches from Mr.. In
GERsoLI, our Minister in England, to our Govern
ment to the effect that negotiations far adyanc-
ed towards the framing of treaty by which all
matters of disagreement between England and the
United States will be settled, nearly possible
definitely The Courier article also gives what pur-
ports to be the main points of the hrst-named des-
patches, which are stated with so much precision
and postiveness that we presume the statement 10
be authentic, and, as the subject is one of great
interest we subion those portions of the article
which profess only to state facts. They are as
follows:
There is reason for believing that special instructions
have been sent to the British Minister authorizing him

mooted upon terms heretofore agreed upon with MIR.

A FACT AGAINST AN ASSUMPTION.

Ii is known to our readers that bill has passed
the Senate; and is now before the House of Repre-
sentatives providing partial indemnity to those
citizens whose property was seized and confscated
by the French Government prior to the year 1900,
and whose consequent claims for indemnity against
France were subsequently negotiated away by our
Government for valuable national consideration.
We observe, in letter from this city to Southern
paper, an opinion expressed that the bill will not
pass the House. for the reason, alleged by its oppo
nents "that at this late day most Of the claims to
be provided for under it are in the hands of par
ties other than the original claimants, whose ne
cessities have forced them part with their claims
in many cases for almost song"
This is not new objection. 1t has been for
many years employed by the opponents of indem-
nifty against the passage of any act for the relief of
the sufferers. How the case may be we cannot un-
dertake to say but even if it were valid objection,
which we certainly do not admit, we have reason
to believe that the number of cases sold transfer
red is far less than is alleged. The only two o.
which have personal knowledge (and it is merel,
10 mention them as of some weight in the scale tina
we took up the pen) in the families Of the orig
nal claimants one is that of a widow and her father
less children the other that of children who ar
both fatheress and motherless. We leave it 70
others say whether ancient claims against the Gov
eminent are, in general thought highly enough of t
