TeXas-Its Growing InpOr-
tInCc.

In our columns this week will be found
two letters, written from Dallas to Re-
publican newspapers in Ohio and Indiana,
and evidently by writers entertaining re-
publican sentiments. Tho one, taken
from the Cincinnati Gazette, we pre-
sumo TO be from the pen of Maj. Wood
small, of Gosport, Ind. whom we favora-
bly, mentioned not long ago MS visiting lr
city, and who is, we believe, still travelling
in our State through the Southwestern
portion of it. The other from the Richmond
(Ind.) Radical, is signed by the authors s
real name, and was private letter, not in
tended for publication. We republish
these letters with more qualification be-
cause they arc written by men of differ
ent political party, and must be presumed
unprcjudiced and fair. They speak well,
not only for the State and its great re
sources, but for its present inhabitants,
who have been greatly and wantomly tra-
duced for political purposes. This is a
crying wrong, and we rejoice to find gen.
tlemcn, liberal and just enough to do
something in the way of repairing it. 1t
is evident that Texas is now attracting
much and growing attention all over this
country, and to some extent abroad. Its
mild and temperate climate, its rich soil
its varied productions of sugar, cotton,
ramie, clstor bean, tobacco, hemp grain
of all sorts, and in fact every thing desra-
Bile, all are becoming known and begin TO
be properly appreciated. Mr.. Lesson well
says, that Texas offers more inducements
to ''poor men aud to speculators" than any
other. To poor men, because they can get
rich lands cheap, il they have any money
to buy with, or if they have none, labor is
in great demand and Iemunerative, so
that, if economy is observed, they will
soon have money to buy land for perma-
nent home and because food is abundant
and unfailing, as cattle, hogs and sheep
require no winter keeping, living off of
Natures abundant supplies, and because
more Of all the necessaries of life can be
obtained for less labor than elsewhere.
SO much for the poor man. Now take the
rich man, who desires profitable invest
ments for his money. Where is such q
field presented as in Texas? Vast bodies
of fertile lands can be secured, through
which Important railroads arc being run,
town lots can be purchased where popu-
lous cities will arise, water power can be
had for the erection of great factories,
which are sure TO be started some day,
and that, 600, not far distant, and, if the
money holder does not wish to invest in
this way, he can loan out bis money at a
much higher per cent. here than else
where, upon good real estate security, 10
others, who desire 10 do so, and have full
faith in the future growth and prosperity
of the great Star State. We have the eli
mate and soil-what we want are the la
borers and the capital The delightful
skies and the tecming earth say come.
The best interests ofthe poor aud the rich
say come. And in the language Of the
good old hymn, We say, too, "COme
along, come along, why don't you come
along" and take part in the coming glory
of Texas.

"EvE AND THE SERPENT. Some
years ago, in the town of Warning
ton in Lancashire, young stono-
mason undertook, in the absence OF
a drunken workman, to finish the
ornamented columns of the District
Bank. His success cmboldencd him
to II higher fight. He became a
pupil at the local School Of Art,
which has attained a high position
among other like institutions, and
now at the age of thirty, after seven
years of active engagements in
Rome, he has been commissioned
by his fellow citizens to design a
model of art costing thousand
pounds for his native town. Such
has been the honorable career of
Mr.. Warrington Wood, whose
works have enjoyed great popular
ity in Rome. "Ie is considered >
says Colonel Patten, zone of the
principal sculptors of Italy" An
admirable example of his workman

shown in the late international Ex-
hibition, and was honored by one
of the most select places in the gal
lcry OF sculpture. This work was
recently sold for f5O0, and is now
in the collection of A. b. Walker,
Esq, of Gateacre Grange, near Liv-

The FREEDMEN BUREAU.--The
Frcedmcn's Bureau is still in exist
cnce, and, as a matter of course,
those who are running it want Con-
gress TO vote them more money.
There is always.a a deficiency in the
concern. Somehow it seems to par
take of the extravaganza and care
lessness which characterizes the me-
gro. 1t cra never make both ends
meet. There are always leaks in
its treasury. Money will disappear
from its drawers mysteriously, and
yet, when asked where it has gone,
or who took it, nobody knows. 1t
would be as hard to detect the de-
linquents, as for stranger TO pick
out any particular chicken thief
from a multitude of genuine Afri-
cans in the dark. AT the end of the
present month the Bureau will be
without dollar in it, and the loyal
majority in Congress arc expected
to fork over sum large enough 10
keep the concern running while
Grant is running for reelection.
Whether it will be kept up after
that, must depend upon the temper
Of the next Congress. lift should be

filled by those who run the Bureau

We regret to notice during our
suspension attacks from several of
our Texas journals upon ex-Gov.
Throck While we have
differed with that accomplished and
distinguished gentleman upon many
points of public policy, we have
felt, at all times, y very high respect
and admiration of the man. Social
ly no one can but admire him. He
is pleasant and genial, and generous
to a fault. With life time devot-
ed to the service of his country, we
find him in his old age poor. lie
lives by the arduous labors of his
profession. As we remarked, in u
previous editorial, the intellectual
men of commonwealth constitute
its pride and strength. Whatever
may be his errors of opinion, he
has been the devoted friend Of our
State and people, and was removed
from the Gubernatorial chair, by
radical tyranny, for his integrity
and patriotism. IF he were to die
today, those who are most severe
in their animadversions, would be
among his-warmest eulogists. The
last ten years, have been fruitful of
instruction in two things; of the
uncertainty and vanity Of wealth,
and of tolerance of differences of
opinion among good men; that
broad, Catholic charity that encom-
passes all things, and that does not
magnify the foiblcs of men, into
grave and objectionable sins. For
one, we have learned this great les
son, and have no procrustian bed
upon which to imolale men, every
vibration of whose hearts arc for
their country.
The time is rapidly approaching
when such men will be needed in
the public counsels, and when the
country, recognizing their past SER
vices and their abilities, will suffer
no narrow, contracted policy to per
nit them to be ostracised. 1t is n
shame to a republic like ours, that
they should be disfranchised, and
the ignorant and vicious exalted to
places of prominence, once places of
honOr.-Jeferson Times,

! that tho cars will be running here
by the lst of July, giving c'nncc-
ton with Galveston, and within II
year that tho connection will be
made with the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas Railroad, which is now
being built through the Indian Ter
rilory, thus giving an outlet to the
North, by way of st. Louis. Dallas
is made a point by the charter of
the Southern Pacific, a,,d the line
has been surveyed and located TO
this place, and will, no doubt, be
completed this far inside ofcis ishtccn
months.
The population is between three
and four thousand at present, and
situated us it is at the crossing of
two such important roads, and in
the midst of n country so beautiful
as this, the rapid growth anticipa-
ted by the people here will no doubt
be largely realized. A liberal pro
grcssivc spirit is manifested in the
improvements being made. An
iron bridge across the Trinity river
has been lately completed at a cost
of 100000, and Courthouse is
being built which will cost near
100000. A proposition is being
discussed to vote 100000 in aid of
n proposed road, known as the Dal-
las and Wichita Railroad, to run a
northwest direction to section rich
in iron, coal, and other minerals.
Society is good here. The peo-
pie are liberal in their notions and
generous in disposition. The state
of society here and elsewhere where
| have been in the State, us far as |
have been able to learn, is orderly
and quiet as in any part Of Ohio.

CONCERNING JURIEs. Even at the

and pillars" Of the State, we fee! con-
strained to give vent to our feelings
regarding the material used in the
construction Of juries in this coun-
try. No one who visits tho Grim.
ihai Court day after day, term af-
ter term, year after year, rs We
have done, can help being oppross-
with the conviction, that u pcculi-
az class of people arc generally tho
judges of the testimony adduccd
in causes tried there. We would
not dare call these men "profession-
al jurors" but we think they pos
scss the faculty of being on hand
when a jury is needed, land have
not heard any of them ask hcjudge
to excuse them. There is Il grow
ing reluctance among the most ac-
tive and intelligent, if not the cili-
zcns, to serve as jurors. In this ci-
ty a great many Of those who are
best suited to discharge the impor-
tant duties of jurors, are exempt
from that duty by reason of doing
ing duty as fireman. in California
and other States efforts are being
made to exempt newspaper men
from juror duty, although we must
confess our inability to sec why
they should not he forced TO servo

cd with close attention to the tho
list of registered voters. and when
summoned, let not the fact that
some of them have Important bust
ness on the Strand, be the cause of
of their being excused by the court,
and the vacancy supplied by some
of the "wiIing" ones always with

the intelligence of the country in
our courts, if we need it anywhere,

New YORK, April 3 3-PhiladcI-
phia papers have details Of the ter
rible injuries sustained Yesterday
afternoon by Joseph Whittle, Lon
tanner in O'Briens circus. About
p. NJ. Whittle entered the cage Of
u strange lion and commenced the
training exercise, and soon proceed
cd to insert his head into the ami

roarcd and closed his jaws upon tho
man. lie screamed with agony
and blood spirited from his wounds
and tlicklci fron the mouth of the
animal, who still maintained his
deadly grasp. Whittlo used his
performing whip with all the enor-
gy left him, and lashed the lion I'M
til he released his hold and SUNK
into a corner of his den, where he
lay licking his lips and growing.
By this time another attachc had
siezed Il fork used in training the
elephant, and ran to Whittlcy's as
sistancc. This was an opportunity
for Whitley to escape; but tho
the trainer, with reckless courage,
determined to conquer tho brute
or die, and advancing Upon him,
raincd upon his head shower of
blows with u loaded whip For II
while the lion was cowcd, hut
suddenly launched himself into tho
air and bore the trainer TO tho
earth, siczing him by the thigh
and crushing the bone aud flesh
into II jelly. The man with tho
iron prong goadcd the animal, and
finally drove him off the prostralo

the cage through the sliding door.

chase it. ant now they are surrounded
with comfort and happy families.
With these examples before him, it is
surprising that the farm laborr does
not make greater cXertionS to secure 4
home. Eut no! because he does not
receive the high wages that once pre-
