The Canal Element,

from the GaIveSton Bulletin.
If any city in the United States could be
benefited commercially by canals, that city
is Galveston. Her bay is a natural harbor,
inviting the commerce of the world. On
the east but a small canal is necessary to
give her the Sabine trade. This comprises
the rivers Sabine, Neches and Angelina,
three navigable streams. The produce is
now shipped from Sabine City to New Or
leans in part; with canal navigable for
small steamers, Galveston could command
it all, and with increased facilities the trade
would rapidly increase. Immigration would
pour into Southeastern Texas if facilities
existed for getting produce to market
On the west side canal already is cut to
the Brazos river and gives an outlet to the
sugar crops. 1t should, however, be cut
through to Matagorda Bay, and give US
by inland steamers the entire trade Of Mata.
gorda, IndianOla, Lavaca and ROckport At
present New Orleans and New York re-
ceive their cotton. 1t should come to Gal
weston.
This canal element is incorporated. What
is the company doing Surely capital can
be interested in this measure If it existed
anywhere but in Texas capital would seek
it and reap the reward of the investment.
Do not let the matter lie idle any longer.
For years the charter has slumbered 1t is
time life was poured into it. Let there be
new departure and more vigor in the canal
system of Galveston. and let us secure the
trade which should come to our port

General Early,s Speech,

Tie following is the speech of General
Early, declining to serve on the committee
on resolutions of the Virginia Conservative
Convention:
Mr. Chairman, | am a man of peculiar
notions, and do not feel Ike suppressng all
my thoughts. When came to this eonven-
ton believed it was to be a meeting of
white Virginia gentlemen, called together
to discuss the present issues between the
two parties. Those which tormerly divided
the Wings and Democrats are dead, but
there are living issues for discussion which
ought not to be suppressed.
4" My old friend pointing to William Smith)
and myself may now agree upon fighting
the common enemy, as we fought together
during the war; but l see disposition to
suppress freedom of speech: to deprive my
self and others of the liberty of discussing
questions which should be discussed. See
ing this, although l will be with you when
the fight takes place, l am unwilling to par
tieipate in any of the proceedings of this
body and must ask to be excused from act
ing on the committee to which l have been
appointed.

Forty Years Hence.

A writer in the st. Louis Republican says:
1t took st. Louis sixty-six years, from
1894 to 1880, to acquire a population of
$3.50. Chester has acquired population of
5000 in the space of forty four years-nearly
the same ratio of increase as st. Louis.
Forty year hence, and Chester will TEEN
with its hundreds of thousands of popula-
ton. The foundation for the ingathering of
millions of souls at this point is now being
laid in the building of the Chester and
Tamaroa railroad and the opening up of
our immense coal mines. At this point the
coal of Illinois and the iron of Missouri are
to be united. The two great States are
here to be tied together by hooks of steel,
and ere long these two commonwealth
will be inseparably joined by an immense
iron bridge, and the iron horse will cross
the span as through no gulf ever separated
them. All this is in view to-day. The
Mississippi valley will be one continuous
iron manufacturing city all the way to the
great metropolis, st. Louis. Forty years
hence these hills of ours will be covered
with vast inland city, teeming with its
thousands upon thousands of population
engaged in every conceivable kind of manu-
featuring. Gorgeous palaces will here meet
the eye on every hand overlooking the
great valley below, and the busy hum of
Industrial pursuits.

Governor Leslie's inaugural Address.

FRANKFORT, September 5.-GoYernor Les
lie to-day pronounced his inaugural ad
dress After promising an impartial ad
ministration of the laws, he said 1--WE are
passing through political revolution, the
end of which we see not yet New ele-
ments control, and being statutory, have
entered into national policy. 1t results from
the very nature of our administrative re-
public and from the special circumstances
which underlie and have shaped these reyo-
lutionary measures and there should be
some class of powers, State and federal.
Much less is it to be wondered at that there
should have arisen a conflict as to State and
federal jurisdiction from such irritating and
menacing legislation. When we reflect upon
the wise legislation of Congress in such
condition of public affairs, it is the impera-
tive duty of all charged with the execution
of State and federal laws to act with great
cireumspeetion and forbearance, II shall
be my endeavor, while protecting the rights
of the State and its citizens, to avoid all
causes of irritation, and contribute every
thing in my power to secure the harmonious
cooperation between the State and federal
authorities for the public good until wiser
counsel shall prevail and the present anom-
alous condition of things shall cease"
On the subject OF lawlessness in the
State, he said exaggerated statements OF
lawlessness within our borders have been
made and circulated for political effect but
enough has existed to cause serious alarm
to all right-thinking and law-abiding citi-
zens, and to demand of the constituted au-
thorities increased efforts to suppress it. l
shall spare no pains to repress such dis
orders and to maintain supremacy of law
and order throughout the Commonwealth,
but to do so successfully must have the
countenance and assistance of the people.
The rest of the address was delivered for
the general interest of the State, her de-
velopments, her natural wealth, and to in
duce industry, public charities, careful
and conscientious but kind exercise of the
pardoning power.

Foundcrinr of the Linda.


!. We have already noticed the loss OF tine
bark Linda, Captain Smith, which cleared
from New York, July 81, for New orleans
The steamship Wilmington, Captain Cole,
from Galveston, arrived at New York, re-
ports further details.
The New York Commercial Adrertise'' says:
Captain Cole reports that on the twenty
sixth of August, when in latitude 26.24,
Ion gitude 1851, he picked up boat con-
tanning Thomas Munte, first mate; Mirard
Simmons, second mate, and Lewis Schlader,
seaman. of the bark. They stated that the
Linda foundered in a hurricane the day
previous, in latitude 1884, longitude 1882.
Captain Smith, the steward and four men
were in another boat. They remained in
company until night came on, when they
got separated. 1t was understood by the
crews of both boats, when leaving the
vessel, that they were to steer for the
Florida cast. After getting the men and
boat on board, the Wilmington steered
around in different directions in hopes of
discovering the other boat, but was unsuc-
cessful.
1t is probable that the missing boat may
have also been picked up, or have reached
the coast, but the terrible weather that has
prevailed lately creates grave fears for its
safety.
The Linda was three hundred and seven
teen tons register. and was built in Phila'
delphia in 1859, whence she sailed.
A later edition of the Advertiser has fur
Their details, from the first mate, of the
hurricane, which was terrible, and com
pletely mastered the vessel, driving her
about to all points of the compass. The
worst of it was after the Linda passed
Gunshot Key Light, when she got leaky:
about four o'clock on the morning OF
the twenty-ffth we could get no sucks out
of the pumps, and on sounding we found
four feet of water in the hold. The hands
pumped hard and constantly, but the water
gained on them at the rate of about six
buckets an hour. The captain, although
solicited to do so by the first mate, felt dis
inclined to quit the ship, he having hopes
of still saving her At the next sounding
they discovered five and a half feet water
in the hold, and then they concluded to quit
the ship
By telegraph we learn of the arrival at
Cape Florida, on the first instant, of Captain
Smith and his boats crew

Poisoned by Mistake,

There was a sad accident of poisoning
happened on the Vidalia Place few DAYS
ago, 1t seems that Moses Bailey had three
children sick with the chills and fever, and
his wife not having any quinine, went to
one OF her neighbors and borrowed what
she supposed to be quinine, and gave all
three OF the children dose of 1t. In a few
minutes it was discovered to be strychnine
that the children had taken for quinfne, and
as soon as it was discovered Dr. j. s. Meng
was sent for, and succeeded in saving the
two eldest children. The youngest died in
about half an hour after taking the deadly
poison.
Where the woman got the strychnine no
one has been able to learn; but the supposi-
ton is that she found it among old medi-
cines left on the plantation when the war
broke out and has kept it ever since think.

The yield of the rice plant is turning out
finely. A field of twenty acres, below
Pointe-a-la Hache, threshed out twenty bar

hulling by the mill, fifteen barrels of clean
rice to every twenty of rough, and was of
prime quality. The work of cutting and
