sons, who are not as yet subscribers, in the
hope that they may become such. This

make rash promises in advance, but We do
assure our readers that We have some good
reasons for believing that many local diff

A New Orleans correspondent of
the Houston Telegraph writes as
follows:
1 learned yesterday. that Oakes
Ames, the great Boston capitalist,
and one of the principal owners of
the Chattanooga, New Orleans and
Texas railroad, had been relieved
from financial embsrrassments and
had liquidated all claims against him,
and was now in funds, so much as to
send out to his company here three
millions of dollars in cash to push
forward the road to Houston. This
amount, added to the one million and
half just received from the State
of Louisiana, will give them the
snug sum of four and a half millions
in cash to press forward their Texas
line. Indeed, we we're informed by
Mr.. Hardey, assistant engineer of
the company, that. within the next
sixty days tho whole line from Wash
ington to Orange would be let out by
contract and that work would COM
mence simultaneously on that diYi-
sion, and it is with pleasure that we
assure the readers of the Tslegragh
that the Chattanooga company in
tend to reach Houston speedily, from
the fact that they have to reach
there in q given time or forfeit a
very large subsidy from this State.

NATIONAL vs.. STATE TAxEs.-The United
States taxes are oRe hundred per cent. less
now than when General Grant was elected.
The State taxes are three hundred per cent
greater now than they were at that time
RefoTmer.
Even if the first statement of our
heighbor be true, Chief Justice Chase
asserts "that Grant deserves no
credit for any decrease" and the
evidence is on its face that he has
had no hand an 1t.
AS to the State taxes, We fear, alas,
it's truth needs no further demonstra-
ton. But, what remedy do the
Radicals propose
