The Texas Cattle Trade:

Recently we had the pleasure Of meeting
Col. Jas. II. Bently Of Texas, who has been
for many years engaged in raising cattle
there. He usually has from 1900 to 1000
cattle oil hand, which makes large sized
handful. lie sttted this season great num-
bers of Texas beevcs are being driven 10
Abilene to avoid the excessive tax imposed
on droyers who take their stock through
the Indian nation. In Texas the price Of
cattle ranges from Sl2 to Sis per head.
A dro?e of 100 stock cattle-25 each Of
COWS, calves, year!ings and two year olds
comprising the drpye-can .be purchased
for ST per head. The cost ofdriving cattle
from Texas to hbeline is about 50 each.
A stock car from Baxter Springs 10 Chica-
go costs SlO5, and will accommodate sev-
enteen hend of cattle. Texas sells to pack
ers and others about ZOO cattle every
year, Large and numerous droves are be-
ing now driven northwarl This Texas
cattle trade is 10 play very important
part il our citys prosperity There arc
tiatterng prospects that one ofthe heaviest
packing firms in the country will soon ar
range mammoth establishment here for
the purpose of Strengthening and packing
thousands of the cattle Of Texas. 0ur To-
cation is such, and advantages for such an
enterprise 30 great, that there is littlS
doubt that Kansas City will IN five years
time be known as doing beef packing
business second to none in the country.
In addition to the items above, furnish
ed by Colonel Bently, we may add some
facts about Texas cattle cleaned from the
Lawrence Republican. Mr.. J. II. Clahart
returned recently TO Lawrence from trip
to Texas. Ha brought with him nearly
100 cattle which he left ut Council Grove.
He stdtes that the 0sage Indians now col,
lect tax of ten dollars q head upGn nll
cattle driven through their county. iIs
states that there is no regular market VAL
ue fixed upon cattle in Texas, but that
they are plentiful all through the State,
In the Red River district cattle can be
bought for from $40 to Sl6 per head, but
further south they can be had for much
less. Mr. Clabart states further that there
are somewhere near 10000 cattle on the
road, and driven off to gra:e from where
the old trail crosses the Santa Fe road 10
Council Grove. 1t is very dry in Western
Texas, and up to the l4tR. of May there
had not been good rain for about seyen-
months, but the country seems TO be full Cl
cattle At Red River it was estims ted that
100000 had been driven past up to tho
27th Of May Kansas City Drover.

A district Convention.

From tho Sherman Courier
The Bohham News, in o we'll COTTON mp
leader, expresses itself as in favor df q
District Convention TO nominate n caudi-
date for Congress, at the same time pro-
claiming in favor of Hon. Jno. c. Conner
unless oh honestly Democratic
convention shall decide otherwise.
Our own opinion is that the minds Of
ninetten-twentieths Of tho Democracy OF
the 2hd District is settled down unaltera-
bly, tipon Hon. Jno. C, Conner as their can
diddte, ncr will they be satisfied with any
one else. None but 4 few disoontented
Democrats want n contention, and they on
ly viii the hope of creating dissentions in
the parts, and, if possible, create division.
If they want a convention, and will be sat-
isied with nothing leas, let them call it.
The friends Of Conner, while they deem a
convention entirely unnecessary, do not
fear it, and will, If called, meet it with an
overwhelming delegation from every coun-
ty. 4 Democratic Nominating eonventiori
let IL be called by whom it may, is equivo-
lent to the nomination Of Conner. From
this result there is no possibility of escape.
Such convention IL held w51ld have
salutsry effect in silencing the mouthings
Of soft-shelled Democrats ty whipping
I them in or entirely out Of the party, and
theneeforward there would be perfect
unity.
The disafected who are clamorus for Q

The Road TO DE BuIBT.-We have the
pleasure bf announcing that the Central
Railroad Company have accepted proposi-
tioh made them by the committee of citi-
zens through Messrs. Raymond & Whitis,
to complete the Air. Line to Austin within
twelve months from the 1st of January
next.
The bbnus offered them by the citizens
of Travis county is sevehty-fve thousand
dollars, payable on the coihpletion Of the
road, but to be forfeited if the road fails
to reach this city by, or before, the time
above indicated. A large portion Of the
amount is already subscribed, and We
doubt not the balance will be raised during
the present week. Under this proposition
the Company builds the road over the en-
tire route, and Travis county will be re-
lieved from the proposition heretofore
made TO grade and lib the road TO the Bas-
top line Austin Republican,.

The SITUATION TRANsfoRhED.-The New
York Sun says the sudden change in the
government Of France greatly changes the
direction Of public sympathy:
Now that Ma poleon is utterly destroyed,
while France, no longer aiming at foreign
conquest, contends singly for her own na-
.tonal existence, and now that she has
proclaimed herself Republic and put her
destinics IN the hands Of new men, whose
devotion to republican principles cannot be
questiouedj the whole situation is trans
formed. DIR sympnthies are again With
France, md our prayers and good wishes
are all for her complete success. Her chas-
tisement is more thaRequal to the fanlt
she has committed, and we desire ardently
that she may be able to maintain herself,
and to beat back the enormous armies that
are marching Upon her capital. There Is
something admirable in the resolution to
fight TO the Inst which tie French people
proclaim. Only heroes and enthusiasts
could rise to such n height of courage in
the midst of disaster. Tile sacrifices they
will have tb make will be terrible, but We
do not say that the end will not be worth
its cost

We ann6unce with great pleasure that
dur young FRIEND Luther Hare, triumph-
autly passed his examination before the
examining committee at the West Point
Academy, the only cadet from Texas who
passed. We had great faith In Luther and
knew all the time that his rejection would
be sheer act Of Injustice. lie is certainly
above ordinary and we predict will make
his mark in the history Of the Country
We rejoice in Luther's success, the road TO
honorable. preferment is now open before
him. While congratulating Luther, we
cannot help but feel n little jubilant over
the fact that Of all the cadets nominated
from Texas, Luther, the son OF Democratic
parents, and nominated by the only Demo
cratic member from Texas, alone passed
his examination. We regard it as q tri-
umph Of Dehocratic worth over Radical
prejudice. Ills admission reflects honor on
Capt. Connfr, upon his parents and all
with whom he is connected.

CAMP, FIELD AND PRISON LIFE; Containing
Sketches Of Sosvico IN the South, and the Exberenca
and Incidents of two years scjourn at JOHNSON s
ISLAND, ONO, where 1900 Rebel Officers wore
imprisoned. by Capt. W. A, WASH. OF Kentucky,
with An Introduction by Gen. L. NJ LEWIS. Of Mis-
souri,, and Medical History q Johnsons Island by
Col. l. u. W. SrEEpMAS, OF Alabama.
Such is the title of d book of Hear
ly 400 pages, just isshcd. Reader,
were you ever prisoner at John
sons Island, Rock Island, Camp
Douglas, Camp Morton, Camp Chase
Fort Delaware or Point Lookout;
or had you any friends there? If SO,
you will find this book possessed of
peculiar interest to you. 1t is be-
lieved to be the only cnbnected mar
rative on record of prison life at the
North, and will recall many facts;
scenes and incidents that have pas
sed out of mind. How often have
We heard those who have spent d
time in prison express wish that
they had kept record of their ex-
perience. That opportunity is now
past forever, but the author of this
book has supplied u parallel case.
1t contains much that can nowhere
else be found, and even as simple
mattel of history is well worth pre-
serving. The comments of the
Press almost without exception,
have been of the most fiattering
kind, and there is every reason to
believe that the book will find u
warm welcome in every Southern
household. Most all the vocations
of the outside world were carried on
In that little island city; and how
they were performed, and how the
rebels deceived the Yankees in va
rious ways are vividly portrayed.
In word, the book is a complete
but graphic account Of the most in
teresting features of Prison Life, ana
should be read and preserved by
whoever was directly or indirectly
concerned in the subject Of which il
treats. Agents wanted evcrywhere,
especially in the South. The trade
