This is the man to whom the bank

power he has over the matter, but
we have been told by the officers OF
two different banks that they had
been compelled thus to grease the

could obtain their charters. One
bank paid him, we have heard, SO,

also that he has similar control OF

Honesty in high places is not Of
ten to be met with. Before the
close of the war, when fifty dollars
in Confederate scrip was required
to buy one dollar in gold, the Rich
mond Congress, after having in
creased the pcr-diem Of its members
to living rates, passed resolution
TO pay President Davis his salary in
gold, as was contemplated by the
Constitution. Mr.. Davis, though
he approved of the increase of sala-
rics of officers in every other de-
partment of the Government, vetoed
the measure that increased his own !;
and though his salary was INSULT
Gent to provide his family with Il
comfortable support, the only adj.
ditional compensation that he would
consent to receive was, to draw a
soldiers ration for himsclfan each
member of his family.
We give this from 4 personal and
positive knowledge of the case

a5>The Tyler Reporter comments upon
an article which appeared in the Herald q
few weeks ago urging the Legislature to
the exercise Of no further Indulgence TO de-
linqucnt companies; and the editor agrees
precisely with our correspondent, that the
public is deeply interested in the adoption
Of this policy as general rule by our leg
islature. After warming our legislature of
the manner in which that body had become
subservient TO Spectators in railroad char
tcrs before the war, the editor adds:
"The disposition of these old railroad
companies which have virtually forfeited
their franchises will present very import.
ant question in the Legislature, and it will
not do TO adopt general rule in the mat.
ter. Some Of them have acted in good
faith, and have been prevented by unto
ward circumstances from complying with
their obligation, while others will present
as urgent petitions for relief, who never
have bad any intention of complying with
their agreements. We must rely on the
integrity and wisdom Of the Legislature in
discriminating between these two classes,
and extending relief where il Is mcrited,
and disseminating the franchises of those
who have not acted in good faith. a..

Immediate eonsiruuon. We must say that
late conversations with parties living Al
and this side Of Houston, have not given
US much encouragement 10 hope for very
speedy progression Of the road from Ito
present terminus In this dlreetlon--some
have even said that Milliean would be the
stopping place for two years hence. Tho
article below, however, Icing semi.ofIieial
from tho President OF the road, we are
hound TO give II credence, and II does us
infinite pleasure to record the fact that so
much progress Is being made In the nego-
tiaiions Give us the road-wc want it,
We believe that II can be made the best
paying road In the country, II II Is brought
TO Dallas, and there connect II with the

countries In the United Siats.
Waco Rnil Road meeting, held some time
ago, Judge II. Coke and Jno. I. Flint, Esq,
Of Waco and Col. Stewart, Of Falls county,
conferred with Col. W. J. IIutchins, Prcsi-
dent Of the Central Rail Road, In regard
To running the main trunk Of that Road to
Waco, and the following Is given by Judge
Coke and Mr.. Flint as the result Of the con-
ference. Col. Iluichins stated; ....
]. The Texas Central Road has been To-
Gated in accorda nee with the requirements
Of its charter, and to dcvatc from the line
settled on 30 far as to bring II TO Waco,
would throw the road loo far from the d..
rcction il must take in order to make the
connection with the Kansas rond hence n
proposition to bring this read through Wa
co would not be favorably considered by
the Company. -." ..et r.
2. When the Central Road reac es o
point some seven miles below Marlin, il
will defect northward.
g. Tic people OF Falls and McLennan
could construct Tap Road from Waco, and
use it and keep it up themselves, but the
Central Road Company would not receive
this road and consolidate its stock with
their own; or if it was referred, the coun-
ties Of Falls and McLennan could grade
the Tap road, put the cross ties on il, and
make a present of it to the Central Road
Company who would put the iron and roll
ing stock on it and run and keep it up.
4. The Central Road Company ore max
ing vigorous preparations to push forward
the construction of the road, and have now
IN agent in Europe to contract for iron to
lay on one hundred and fifty miles, which
he will get. The time when the Central
Road will reach the point where it would
be desirable that the Waco Tap should
strike it, can not DO arrived Mt now, but it
will be as soon as an energetic nd vigor-
Gus prosecution Of the work can bring it
there.

H6-We see no reason why lands in
Northern Texas, which arc conceded by all
to be the richest in all the Southern States,
should not command equally as good prices,
when our country is penetrated by
the railroads which are in contemplation,
as those Of Illinois and the other North.
western States. Before these States were
encircled and chequered with railroads,
lands could be bought as low and even
lower than our wild lands can be bought
to-day. Our lands will yield, as has been
abundantly proved, from a quarter TO one.
third more grain than Illinois, and our
wheat, particularly, is better than theirs,
while VIC have the advantage of harvest at
least three or four weeks earlier than they
Does it not follow naturally, then that land
which now can be bought in this county or
in all the surrounding counties at from 81
to So an acre, should command from $40 to
$50 an acre, at least, when the iron horse
can be brought to our own doors ? All we
want is an outlet,-we want railroads to
transport our produce TO market; with
them We can say to the world, tell us how
much flour you want and we can supply it
of better quality, and that which will
keep sweet longer than any other, and at
least four TO six weeks earlier in the spring
tl'an any other part of the United States.
With railroads we are safe in saying that
no country presents greater inducements
to immigrants than Northern Texas. And
railroads We are bound to have in very
few years.
