As the Hon. Mr. Sabin. late judg"
of this district by military appoint
mcnt. has resigned and gone, il
would perhaps be mcrciful to maize
no further illusions to him. His
old complaint returned upon him.
In 1868 he left Houston with the
man with the poker after him, and
having got away and got sober
somewhere, he discovered all at
once that he was n prosecuted Union
man, never having been suspected
of being n Union man before. In
1865 he came back with an idea
that it would be profitable to ride
the hobby accident had placed him
on two years before. He became a
Judge by military appointment, ac-
ted with a great deal of folly on
the bench, left it to bea lobby men,
Der of the Convention, became adj
dictcd again to his cups, and finally
closed his inglorious judicial career
by a public exhibition of the most
dsgraceful character at Brennan
He has now gone to Washington in
search of congenial spirits there
Doubtless his resignation will be
worked up into some phase or otiei
of rebel compulsion, and he will in
duce the radicals to make something
of him. / know of but one place
that suits him, and that is the con-
sulship to Laguayra. For that, an
old belonging Of Texas, | recon-
mend him. He is eminently fitted
for its duties and will in that de-
lightful climate soon acquire tho
oblivion that so well BELTS him.
And yet Sabin is a good fellow, and
his own worst enemy. Pity he has
so little sense-of the proprieties OF
life.
| told you, some time since, of
the new beef packery of DR.. Perl,
near Houston. He has since got it
at work. and is now slaughtering
Is bullocks per day This is no
trifling business when you come to
consider that it is turning out over
$500 day worth of marketable
corned beef. Five hundred dollars
q day is a good deal of money,
enough to make newspaper man
open wide his eyes. Let us, Swim
dells, as soon as we can make money
enough for a start, go into beef
packing. What do YOU say? Capt.
John almost gets into a money
making humor in contemplating it,
am much obliged to DR.. Perl for
showing me how the thing is done
The Texas and New Orleans rail
road seems to be on its last legs
The company that built it is mort
bund. Several large-sized cormo-
rants are watching it, waiting for a
chance to seize upon it. What will
they do? What is to be done? As
it now is. there are six hundred
thousand dollars worth of good
iron in the road rusting away. And
rhcre are several times six hundred
thousand dollars a year waiting as
profits to whoever gets hold of the
road and builds it. But will the
cofmorants do the work If they
get chance? 1t behooves the State
TO look to its interests and if posi-
BILE foreclose the mortage it has and
put the work into the hands of
somebody that can do something

How about the Memphis, FL Paso
and Pacific Road, about which two

much? Is that enterprise a total
failure? Arc you not in Northern
