RicHARpsos'a New Mar OF TExAs-We

RicHARnsoS's New MAP OF TExAs.-We
are OF last in receipt of the new map Of
Texas prepared by Richardson & Co., to
accompany their Texas Almanac for 1872,
and regret to find it not as perfect and nc
ceptable as we had reason to expect. There
are some additions and alterations, which
no doubt increase its value, such as the
Plan of the Great West, the Galveston and
Matagorda Bays, ETC., but there are SER
ious errors and defects in the main body
of the Map, which will detrsct much from
mon roads and railroads, talked of, and
soms Of them chartered, perhaps, but I'M.
built, and there is nothing scarcely to dis
tinguish them, the one from the other.
This is calculated to confuse rather than
to enlieh'en. We notice one error of o
gross and objectionable character. The
Central Railroad is laid down as running
through the eastern part Of Dallas county,
direct from Corsicana to Mckinney, in
blshu VI VIC VI 1dh'S. again. tue
town Of Tyler, in Smith county, is made a
great railroad CENTER apparently, with the
International running directly through it.
We wish il did, but this is not the fact 1t
is useless to load down map with COM
m On roads people will presume that thsre
are roads from one town tC another-nnd
it is wrong 10 lay out railroads as if they
we're already constructed. There should
be something to show what are built and
what only chartered or talked about. 9th.
erwise strangers will be led as,ray. The
same defect, in n greater degree, is notice,
able in Sweets map, with is amazing
amount of railroads, and its great railroad
center at Palo Pinto. S;ill with all these
drawbacks, Richardson's new map will be
found very useful to immigrants and 9TH
ers, and we cordially commend it 10 the
public

Mrs. Wharton, o Baltimore, trial for
poisoning Gen. Ke,chun, has been ae-
quilted. There is another Indictment
pending for the alleged poisoning of young
Van Ness. Some of our contemporaries
seem to think Mrs. Wharton much per-
secuted lady, and express great sympathy
circumstances, as proved, were enough TO
tx strong suspicion upon her and thor
oughly we'll behaved ladies are not apt TO
get indicted.
We sce in orr eIch .nges the statement
that Laura Fair has died in prison. 1t
mny o so, but we doubt it. She may
have been allowed TO escape and this story
may have been invented to screen the act.
We should like to know the particulars Of
the death. Great efforts were being made
to prevent the hanging of this first class
mnrderess.
The japanese complain Of their delay at
Salt Lake City, owing TO the stoppage of
the Central Pacific Railroad by the snow
and ice. Hurry up the Southern Pacific
and open comm ication with California

Great Britain about the Alabama claims
The radical Administration has blundered

now Grant and his set who are becoming
q little frightened with the late looks Of
political affairs, may try to get mp u war
TO save them. We shall take no stock in
thar investment.
The Fren,h Assembly have refused to

gone, the one, long since, the other now.
The House Apportionment Bill passed
the Senate finally, and has gone back to the
House with some slight amendments,
which will, doubtless, be coneurred in.
This fixes the number of mem bers of Con.
grcss ut 1873, and secures to Texas two ad-
tional ones.
The Amnesty bill still fingers in the
Senate. The RAIDS are trying to kill it
with amendments. We think it will ulti-
mately pass.

All Needed tn Heat General
Grant.

All that Is needed to beat Gen
Grant is 10 concentrate the opposi-
ton to him so that it can be made eff
fcctual. 1t is useless for Repub'i-
cans opposed to him to try to pre-
vent his domination, because his
immense patronage gives him so
many striker that they will secure
that. 1t is also hopeless for Repub.
Leans opposed to hlm to hope that
they alone can defent him, and to
do so, they must have help, and
should seek it.
1t is not impossible at all, that
the Democrats with proper plat
form and candidate, may not defeat
him, but it is too important that he
should not be reelected to depend
ON this, when by coalition against
him, his overwhelming defeat could
be made certain We certainly can
see no sacrifice Of principle or par
ty pride even for cooperative
campaign against him. We are OPP
posed to any passive policy by
Democrats There would be death
in that pot to thcirI'arly Let the
National Convention be held, II plat
form adopted yGC candidates nomi.
na,cd If possible, let the anti
Grant Republicans meet at the same
time and place, and if this cannot
be done let the tried, trusted and
leading men Of the two parties con
suit together before the Conventions
meN, and if possible select cand
dGes who would be acceptable to
both parties. And then let both
give their warm and active support
to them.
If this co operation cannot be
agreed on, then let the Democrat
go ahead, make the fight themselves
and Grant may yet be as badly bea-
ten rs any candidate for the Presi-
dency ever was.-HoustOn Tsle
