THE TEXAS CATTLE TRADE.
A Fall Account of tine Manner in VINE
the Business is Conducted.

from the Topeka (Kansas) Record
The traffic in Texas cattle has, within the
last few years, assumed position among
the leading interests OF the country Kansas
rs the chief grazing region ana shipping
beadouarters-the great conflict. we may
sav-for the immense herds of these cattle
that are annually driven north OF Texas and
eventually reach the Eastern and European
markets, The trade here mainly cOnccn-
trates at Abilene, on the Kansas Pacific
railway. 100 miles west of the Mississippi
river. 440 miles from st. Louis, and go miles
from Chicago. The grass and water in the
vicinity of Abilene can not be eXcelled on
the continent and the mildness Of the ell
mate and the absence Of flies and mosql'i-
foes contribute materially toward the fat
tening of cattle rapidly and with little risk.
The facilities for shipping, and for the gen
ersll transaction Of business pertaining to
the trade, are also frst-class; and there is
little reason to doubt that Abilene will be
come, at no very distant day, the largest
cattle market-in the whole country.
Last year about $4,000 head OF cattle were
shipped eastward from Abilene. within a
period of three months. and about one-thlrd
as many more were sent forward from other
points in the State.
During the present season lhe shipments
so far have been heavier than III the cores
ponding months of last year. AMI the
aggregate figures of 1862 Will be materially
increased Already, since June /, about
81 900 have been shipped eastward from
Abilene alone, and $4,000 have gone west to
Salt Lake, to say nothing Of the small lots
sold to butchers and packers, and driven to
different points in Kansas. About 10000
heavy beeves are there at present Tor pack
ing at Leavenworth, Kansas, Kansas City
and Chicago, and will be forwarded about
the tenth Of next month. Exclusive OF this
10000, there are in the vicinity for sale
about $4,000 head of ordinary beet and
stock cattle, and several thousand COWS and
calves, yearling and two-year oldS. Pur,
chasers can find at Abilene every age and
condition of the cattle genus, from the
choicest specimen of a .full-grown steer to
the scrawniest scrub Of sucking calf. The
total number Of cattle of all kinds. both
sold and remaining on hand, at Abilene
this year, can safely be put down at i,0,co'.
The cattle come principally from Mort &:
err, Texas They are brought there by the

How Radical congressman
Grow Rich.

The Fort Wayne Democrat, no
ticing the appearance of Senator
Sherman, Of Ohio, in Indiana, max
ing speeches in. behalf of the Rad
ical party, is hot surprised at his
zeal in behalf of that party, since
it took him up a poor man and
set him down q millionaire, with
accumulations still comingin. An
old resident of Mansfield, Ohio,
gives the Democrat the following
outline of Sherman and his sud
den transition from moderate cir,
cumstances to wealth:
"Mr. Sherman was first elected
to Congress in 1856, by the Know
Nothing party, and has been ever
since that time member of the
House or Senate, under pay, a
part of the time at $4,000 year,
and the remainder of the time at
5000. When he went to Con
gress in 1856, he was not worth
more than $4,000, and has had, to
the knowledge of our informant,
no other means of making money,
except through the position he
held during that time. He is now
the owner of S75, 900 worth of real
estate in and around Mansfield;
he is the owner Of large portion
of the street railways in Washing
ton City: he commands or owns
about 500, 600 in bends and mon
ey; has immense tracts OF Western
lands, which, were contributed to
him, no doubt, by land grabbers,
fOrhlsinfiuence in putting through
their infamous bills, besides large
Investments in. railway stocks.
Now, as Me-. Sherman is in this
State and, perhaps may strike
Fort Wayne during the canvass,
We have a, curiosity to know how
be. becanpe 30 immensely rich.
When we consider the princely
style in which the Senator has
lived, using up on one occasion an
amount exceeding a years salary
to give q grand levee at Washing
ton; his wealth certainly does
stagger those who love honesty
and fair dealing. If Mr.. Sherman
in his speeches, will tell his hear.
ers how he became a millionaire
during Congressional career of
fifteen years, he will greatly re-.
lieye the suspense of the curious.
It certainly can't be figured ont of
his salary
The Michigan State Central
Committee have issued an earnest
and truthful address to the voters
Of that Staten which is made a
resume Of the various iniquitous
acts which have characterized the
Republican party Tor the past five
years. 1t makes a long list, but
last, though not least, the address
says: at has seut men to Congress
who on $4,000 salary for their
term eff Office, have returned home
rich, and able TO build $4,000
mansions Thatparagraph speaks
for itself. No wonder Radical
Congressman say that the coun
try is prospecting; but do the peo-
pie like that sort of prosperityi
