Politically hc and the editor Of this

frequently positions precisely oppo-

correctness of his conduct us o citi.

Mr.. Flanagan, tho head Of tho
malignants, does not live hcrcabout
and is not Of much consequence
anywhere, except away from home.
Some Of the minor strikers do live
in Northern Texas; though none
in this county. Wherever they live
and move, they should be check
mated and rcprovcd by the whole
people, whose interests they have
cndeavorcd to destroy for patty
profits to themselves.
SO much for the moral features
and difficulties. The pleasing prac-
teal features that We are authorized
to record arc, that three corps Of
have been sent to Jctlcr-
son, and have probably arrived be-
fore this timo, and ono thousand
hands have been ordered to Ec
placed Immediately upon tho work,
to be doubled in number soon; and
negotiations arc in progress for ac-
companying tho line of road with n
limo of tclcgraphic communication,
which will probably be put in course
Of construction.
Now tho question is, the oppor-
lunity being present an immcdi-
ate, will our people in all the coun-
lies through which tho limo of road
IS located do their whole duty
promptly and generously.
