public dinner was given to Gen Rusk. United States
Senator at Austin Texas on the 9TH ultipo which
largely attended BY members Of the Legislature and prom
meut citizens from oil parts of the State.
Gen. Ruak took the opportunity 10 give his opinions az
large on the subect Of the Pacific Railroad and develop
freely his opinions upon the practcablity and mode Of
building it through Texas which he enlarged upoa as the
moot eligible line Of route.
The train of his argument IL to show thar the line near
the southern portion Of the United States terminating in
San Diego Is in every military point OF yiew the best for
national defense. 1t would, moreover create the
city and the means for connecting San Diego with San
Francisco by coast road thus creating line Of detenses
better than large armies and aees by bringing the avaa
BILE forces OF the United States within ten days OF any ex
posed point along the immense frontier.
AZ TO the line within Texas Mr. Rusk advises that az
few specific points possible should be named until the
general scheme is sufficiently organized The general
north than Fulton, Red River; and that il should be
carried as nearly possible along the line Of the thirty
second degree of north latitude upon which he vouches
from personal knowledge Of eight hundred miles OF the
route that there is plenty Of wood and The land is
generally wen tmbered and Gen Rlsk says the most fer
tile be ever saw in his life.
Gen. Rufk suggests that the State should grant 70 sec
tons Of land TO The mile to Company contracting for the
building Of the Road. with authority to connect with
Other routes not designating any particular starting pom.

He proposes that the company should be required to
deposit 100000 in the treasury Of the State 70 be for

hIed ana the state might require reletunz 70 announcer
company if certain length Of the road should not be
finished yearly until the whole completed These
terms, be thinks, would not be TO bona de con
tractors who have the and intend in good faith to
build the road and not make speculation by the sale OF
privileges.
The amount OF public land in Texas is acres,

Among the last news from Europe the most striking
feature is the concerning the fall and disgxce
Of Prince Menchikoh, with whom il may be said the
whole Turkish quarrel originated. Should this provo

policy pursued by the Gar as well as Indicate the
downfall of the ulraortholOxp in Russia, of which
MeDchikof has been the leader since the war of 1923

Empire, and especially of seniawine the aid or aijont

We are constantly reminded BY the course OF ex-
change of the puddle of difficulties which trade is ul'
mersed by the differences in the values OF Nasonai
coins The stupid old English division of L. s. d.. the
French franc 80 much like our dollar as to be con
founded with it, the smilarities with difference and
the differences with similarity, OF the varied coins OF
the Europe with which so largely trade, are all
among the unnecessary barbarisms Of the age as
adopted to international exchanges
Not long since long headed Irishman, whose name
escapes us, made specimen coin to obvatc sill these
oldfashioned fantasies of trade. 1t represented
fixed SUM for the nations of Europe and for the United
States its value according the coin OF each nation
severaly marked upon it. Such thing introduced
would certainly be among the greatest benigntes aud
utilities Of the age. 1t would lessen greatly the detail
of commercial intercourse, and simplify the compre-
hepsion ofvaues. Cannot then, we would ask, one OF
tie Juries at the Crystal Palace appropriately take
such suggestion in hand and speak excathedra on the
subject Why, in fact, cannot our Mint issue such
coin The knowledge of foreign coin in that institu'
ton is very accurate, appears by the Official state
mepts and more particularly by the amateur works on
the subject which have issued from two of its officers
If such coin were thoroughly rendered according TO
the knowledge of the Mint it would set the ball in
motion and Europe would adoptit
Our new Secretaries are fond Of recommending the
increase of this that and the other suppose then,
cur hard-mouey Secretary suggests TO Congress the
immediate issue of such coin for tangible use, and

same ends of international trade, the adoption o.
Uniform standard of weights and measures. This Is
