VANDALISM IN TEXAS.

We are indebted to the Speaker Of the
Texas House Of Representatives for copy
Of the official report Of the Commission APP
pointed by that body, to investigate the facts
connected with the burning Of the town OF
Brenham, on the 9TH ult They examined
forty-nine witnesses under oath, several
among them being Federal soldiers and
unanimously report, together with the iesti-
mony in full, that the town was destroyed
by the Federal soldiery, being incited there
to By a difficulty between some drunken sol
diers and citizens, growing out Of the break
ing up Of two balls, one Of white and the
other of black people by the drunken sol
diers. The loss sustained by the people
from the oonaagratien was $4,000.
The committee recommend that the Gov
ernor urge upon Congress the payment OF
this loss, and TO apply to the proper authori'
ties for the removal Of these troops to the
frontier, where their services are needed
They also recommend that the Legislature
instruct the Governor to demand that MAJ
G. W. SMITH, and such members Of has
command as have been or may be identiheo
as parties engaged in the burning OF the
town. be delivered to the civil authorities

FROM THE FAR WEST.
Reported Mormon Outrages-InsIian
Buteheries.

Buteher1eS.
New York, Oct. ia Herald's Leaven-
worth (Kansas) special says the Denver
News publishes the following extract from a
private letter to Capt. Cochran: We learn
that Mr.. Weston, editor of the Salt Lake
Union Vidette, was taken by the Mormons
on the night of the Sd inst, severely beaten,
and given one hour to leave the city and take
with him several prominent Gentiles. Mr..
Weston refuses to leave, and denounces the
Mormons in the bitterest terms. From the
frequent occurrences of outrages by the Nor
mons on the Gentiles, serious trouble may
be looked for.
Letters from Pulaski and Denver apply
for arms and ammunition for protection
against the ultra Indians, who are reported
to have killed fifteen persons and made
prisoners of one family.
A Tribune Leayenworth special says dates
from Puebla, Colorado Territory, October
9Th, say that the Ule Indians are commit
ting fearful depredations throughout the
country, stealing stock and killing men, and
have carried away one mans wife and chill
dren. Further information in regard to the
fight at Trinidad says Col. Alexander
reached the scene just in time to witness the
attack of Rancho by the Indians. He en-
gagged them for five miles along the Furgate
road, killing thirteen, with the loss Of one
soldier killed and two wounded They pur-
sued the Indians, but were unable to over
take them. The Denver News, on Wednes-
day evening, says the Indians made another
attack on the soldiers and citizens. The In
dians were repulsed with twelve killed.
They were fighting last evening, and the
result is unknown.

Police Commissioners Difficulty.
New YORK, Oct. 19.-Concerning the
Baltimore Police ComissionerS matter, the
Herald's special says: 1t is said that the
Governor acknowledges that injustice has
been done by judges at the recent elections,
and that he will take the matter into serious
consideration, and act prior to the November
election.
The Radicals are very much excited, and
threaten forcible resistance in case the COM
missioners are removed. In view Of the
fact that they are greatly in the minority
here, they threatened that aid viii come
from Pennsylvania. A bad feeling exists,
which may lead to more important disorder
than that Of a local character.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 19.-GoYernor Swan
has summoned the Police Commissioners to
answer the charges preferred against them
on Monday next at Annapolis. Due notice
was served on them last night.

BUFFALO, October 19.-The Board of Su-
pervising Inspectors of Steamboats,, in session
in this city for the last ten days, adjourned
to-day. They have done a great deal of
business, and examined numerous devices
appertaining to the saving Of life on steam

was the life-saving tackleof Brown & Level,
which attracted universal attention, being a
sure mode of disengaging boat Instantly
from its tackles, By one man, either under
full speed or otherwise. 1t received the
unanimous and unqualified approval Of the

storms.

FORTRESS MONROE, Oct. 19.-The storm
along the coast still continues, but as yet il
is subject of congratulation that only one
or two serious marine disasters have been
recorded. The harbor is full Of vessels
northward bound, waiting for better weather.
The bark Geo. E. Kingman, Capt Howard,
three days from Frontera, Mexico, arrived
here this morning, bound to New York. She
encountered the hurricane of the I'd inst, in
the Straits of Florida, lasting forty-eight
hours. On the 18th of September there was
a hurricane on the coast Of Mexico, lasting
about twelve hours. Seven vessels, which
were on the coast loading or preparing to
load, went ashore, one of which was the bark
Caleb Haley, of New York. The English
brig Eclipse, from Guadalupe for New York,
has returned here for harbOr after being at
sea twenty days trying to reach her destina-
ton.

with shooting freedmen in the parish Of La

LET US then be up and doing
With n heart for every fate,
Still resolving. still pursuing;

The returns of the Assessor and Of the In
ternal Revenue Bureau, show that there is
wealth enough in Nashville and its vicinity,
in real and personal estate, in incomes, etc,
to afford an early investment of several mil
lions dollars in new and remunerative
branches of industry, including the still
further developments Of her connection with
the interior and such investment by showing
the spirit and faith of the people, would in
vite from abroad several times that amount
of capital The people of Nashville had
better invest third, or half even, of their
capital in this manner than weep over the
gradual decline Of the whole, for after all
that has been said, can there be any reason
able doubt of the policy Of such investments?
Are there any causes except such as we are
responsible for, why Nashville can not fab
ricate with equal advantage every article
that is fabricated, for example, at st. Louis
or Louisville2
The credit Of the city has always been
good, and although there are temporary in
huences affecting il, when the proper enter
prise awakens her bonds will rise with ra-
pidity in the market, and her credit can
again be generously and literally extended
to local enterprises. The day need not be
distant.
The value Of real estate in Nashville as
kindly furnished me by Mr. HALE, the re-
cent assessor, wac in 1860, Sl2,429, $50, and
in 1866, ST., 344, $50. The corporate debt is
in the vicinity of $500, 600, ofwhich $500. 600
was for the Chattanooga railroad, of which
the city has received back about one-half
The aggregate taxes are about two cents on
the dollar, (inclnding the railroad tax
which is less than those of many other cities.
The amount levied by the Internal Reve-
nue. Office, including incomes, upon a loose
valuation, was, for 1866, as / am informed
by Mr.. NORvEII ssh, $50.
Now, supposing the internal revenue were
increased 10 100000, would the people Of
the city be greatly damaged by that small
advance, which would be the increase if a
million Of dollars in bonds additional we're
issued TO railroads, of which the interest
must be paid by taxes? Or sapposing that
the real estate Of the city were saddled with
theeneumbrancewouldi its sufIerings bedeplo-
rable under an additional tax of about thir-
ty-three cents in every hundred dollars2
Perhaps these matters may be worthy of
consideration.
The population Of Nashville, which was
in 1880 but 1856, Ia small town. was in
1910, 6,929, in 1850, l0,77S, and in 1860,
without the suburbs, 16,9ss. In the last
period Of ten years Memphis sprung up
from $3.50 70 o, 6:lS, and thus left US behind
in the race. These figures, however, give
but part Of the truth, as they leave out the
large suburban population. During the war
Nashville must have had a population of
$1,000 to 10000, and her population to-day
cannot be less than $1,000 or 10000.
The manufacturing product of the city
proper IS not given in the census, but for
Davidson county, including Nashville, the
statistics were for 1860:

TAKING the Memphis papers as witnesses,
the people of that city have got their affairs
into a curious muddle by voting in the late
elections. The late Mayor, who was can
didate for reelection, denies the legality of
the election; but the Aldermen vacate to
their Successors, and The new Board proceed
te install the new Mayor. 1t is said that
some Of the newly elected Aldermen failed
TO file the candidates OATH with the Secre-
tary of State according to supposed law, and
others receiving fewer votes claim the seats.
The newly elected collector Of taxes on
privileges had 10 resort to a fistieuif with his
predecessor, to get possession Of the books Of
the Office. Some of the voters wanted their
certificates Of registration stamped as the
ballots were deposited, to prevent frauds
others did not. Some Of the papers intimate
the preparation of gross frauds, and gen.
eral investigation is called for.
This is not oreditable to Memphis.

Troy, N. Y, Oct. 19.-One of the largest
fires with which Balston, Saratoga county,
has ever been visited, occurred in that vii
lage last evening, and resulted in the almost
total destruction of the manufacturing es-
adjustment known as the Chapman's Glenn
Wooden Mills, owned by the Messrs. E. ii.
& G. w. Chapman, leased and occupied by
Mr.. A. J. White for the manufacturing Of
wooden cloth. The fire caught at six o'clock
from the friction of a shaft in the wheel
room and burned until twelve o'clock last
night. The total loss will not fall far short
of $4,000, principally covered By insu-
rance. About forty operators were EN-
ployed at the time of the FIRE, though the
capacity of the mill was much greater.

A WRITER, teditorially,) in the Radical
organ seems to be painfully solicitous in re-
gard to the venture" made by this paper,
in its assertion that the information of the
State Department in regard to the Peruvian
colonization scheme was derived from Radi-
cal sources and, wants TO know if he hasn't
"as much right to venture" an opinion upon
the subject as ourselves. We answer that
he certainly has. Men of his political faith
have ventured n good deal heretofore in the
way Of opinion unsupported by facts, and it
is rather late to profess squeamishness upon
the point All this, though, dosn't alter our
opinion that the Peru business is a Radical
humbug, and that our venture is perfectly
safe one.

The Herald's Albany special says that
there was an important meeting Of the di-
recters Of the New York Central railroad
held to-day, at which the chief question Of
discussion was, who shall control this i'm
mense corporation. It appears that the
deeply interested parties have run up the
stock from 80 to 1l9. the latter being to-
days price. The entire capital stock is
$42O00,000 The party technically known
as the South Shore party, made of Western
railroadmen, holds about SIS, 100000 Of the
stock; an express company holds some
$4,000, 900, and other parties other large
amounts. The point to be accomplished is,
to so work the combination of these various
holders of stock as to totally Gust the present
board, and give the control of the direction
to one set or party Of them. 1t is absolutely
necessary that this course should be taken to
avoid general and serious losses.
This struggle, embracing these elements
of strife, will be solved either by the tempo
rary election of President to hold Office
until December, or by the permanent cleo
ton at that time. New candidates for the
Presidency have come to the surface since
last had occasion to investigate this subject
in September among whom are L. V. L.
Pragu, Erastus Corning, Alonzo G. Page,
Commodore Vanderbilt, and his son Horace
f. Clay, and Hon. L. Tracy, of Troy.
