LETTER FROM TEXAS


Houston, TEXAS, May %.
Since my last to the ENQUIRER, have
come to the Lone Star State. During the past
few years, I have travelled considerably, but
was never before in Texas. l came by way
of New Orleans and the gulf This is a route
now much travelled, especially by emigrants
from the cotton States. But I cannot recon-
mend it as being an altogether pleasant route.
The gulf of Mexico is rough and tempestuous
piece of water, and those who launch upon its
turbulent bosom will be very apt to have
touch of sea sickness Sea sickness is not at
all dangerous, but it is miserably unpleasant.
The time from New Orleans to Galveston
by rail and water is twenty.four hours. The
distance is about three hundred miles, and the
fare $500. This is high, but the line is
monopoly, and you have no choice but to
submit to the exorbitant demand. The whole
concern, railroad steamship and all, is owned
by one man, Charles Morgan by name. His
income from it must be immense, as he has
monopoly of the carrying trade and passenger
business between New Orleans and Galveston.
Handed in Galveston at eight o'clock Sun
day morning, and was surprised to see saloons,
stores and shops open the same as if there
was no such day as the Sabbath. Business
seems to flourish about as we'll on the Lords
day as any other. At night, in going from
the Washington Hotel to the post Office, three
squares, counted twelve whisky shops open,
and doing driving business. In some were
billiard tables, where men were playing for
the drinks, and filling the air with tobacco
smoke and oaths. In others there were card
tables surrounded by men playing, swearing
and drinking.
But all Galveston does not run in this chan
mel. I heard church bells, and was told that
the city had good side as we'll as bad one.
But the bad one sticks out most prominently,
and gives the stranger no high idea of the
place.
This morning I came up to Houston, dis
tant fifty miles. The road lies over an open
plain, pretty we'll treeless and fenceless, but
covered with as luxuriant grass as ever saw.
Upon this ten thousand cattle were feeding.
Inever before so saw many cattle in so short
time. We passed one rancho (Allen's) where
there are forty thousand cattle! These are
shipped every day to New Orleans, Cuba,
New York, Baltimore, and in fact all over
the country.
have no time to write now, but in few
days I hope to give you the result of more
extended Texas observations MEMO.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS DECIsIoN.-The
Hillsboro IN. c. Recorder says that among
the cases decided at the recent term of Orange
Superior Court, was one arising upon an ap-
plication made by Mrs. Annie Rufin, through
her counsel to the Board of Commissioners
of Orange county, for relief from taxation
upon money on hand or on deposit on the 1st
of April, 1872. The application being re-
fused, an appeal was taken to the Superior
Court at Fall Term, 1872. The case being
continued came up for argument at the last
term, when it was contended for the plaintiff
that according to the decisions of the U. S.
Supreme Court in the case Of McCulloch Us.
the State Of Maryland, the States have no
power by taxation to impede or control the
operations of Laws enacted by Congress to
carry into effect powers vested in the National
Government; and that in Veazie Bank us.
Fenno, Chief Justice Chase decides that Con.
gress has in the National Bank act underta-
ken to supply currency for the entire coun-
try and has destroyed by taxation the State
Banks as Banks Of issue to secure a sound
and uniform currency; also that in that de-
cision of Bank Vs. Supervisors and Lionburger
vs. Rouse, the Supreme Court of United States
has expressly decided that U. S. Treasury
notes and National Bank notes we're not liable
to State taxation.
1t was argued by Messrs: Norwood & Webb
for the Defendant, that the deposit being q
general one, the Plaintiff was merely cred
itor of the Bank and the tax was in fact I'M
posed on the amount of deposit as the sum
due the Plaintiff: 1t was admitted by the
counsel for the Plaintiff that a certificate of
deposit had been given, but it was urged that
under recent decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States no "credit" could be
taxed by State, as it impairs the obligations
of the contract. Judge Tourgee remarked
that through the courtesy Of MIR. Phillips, he
had obtained copy Of the decision referred
to, and it covered the point raised by the De-
fendant and that in accordance with this de-
cision and the cases cited for the Plaintiff, he
was of opinion no State could impose tax
on money on hand or of deposits consisting Of
United States Treasury notes or National
Bank notes or upon obligations given by one
party to another.

THE GENERAL STATUTES.


We are indebted to Mr.. Josephus Wood
ruff, clerk of the Senate, for copy Of the new
edition of the General Statutes. 1t contains
the constitutions of the United States and
South Carolina, with all the amendments, the
ordinances of the constitutional convention of
1868, the general statutes, and the code Of
procedure, an analytical table of contents, and
a copious and apparently we'll arranged in
dex. 1t is truly valuable book, and one for
which we return our thanks.
THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.
We have had an abundance of rain in this
section during several weeks past, but fortu-
nately the crops had mainly been planted be-
fore the rainy season commenced. We learn
from all sections of the county that the cotton
has come up well, and the stand is good. The
superabundance of rain, however, has given
grass rapid start and the farmers are put
ting forth all their energies to clean the grow.
ing crop. Corn is promising, 80 far, but in
dications are that the wheat and oat crops will
be light and inferior.
PHYSICIANS FOR THE POOR.
At a meeting of the Board of County Com.
missioners held last week, physicians for the
destitute poor, in the townships mentioned,
were appointed as follows:
Kings Mountain.-Dr. A. T. Campbell.
Cherokee.-Dr. A. F. Hambright
Broad R;ver.-Dr. J. w. Allison.
Bethesda L. Alexander.
Ebenezer.-Dr. J. G. Hicklin.
Bethel.-Dr. T. w. Campbell.
York-Dr. j. II. Clawson.
No appointments have been made for the
townships of Bullock's Greek, Catawba and
Fort Mill, for the reason that there have been
no applications for appointment from those
townships.

A BILL has been introduced in the
House Of Delsgates ito protect the oitl-
zens of the State, and to elevate the
standard of the medical profession.
We have not seen q copy OF the bill in
question, and hence know nothing OF its
provisions. We infer however that Its
object is to protect the people from
ouack doctors and require CT medical
practitioners at least some evidence OF
their fitness to practice their profession.
The object is q good one and worthy of
all commentator, and ifthe means for
the accomplishment Of It's purpose are
wisely chosen, the bill ought TO pass.

The Pittsburgb, Wheeling and Ken
IN tucky Railroad.


1t is very evident to any one who
will visit the Pittsburgh, Wheeling and
Kentucky railroad, across the river
that the work is progressing with a
slowness that does not augur favorably
for it's completion for some time 10
come. The people along its line who
have contributed literally, both per"
sopally and by voting public funds are
growing FESTIVE under this management
OF affairg, and are inclined to inquire
into the cauSa corum rerum. All
attempts to discover any fount
Of information among those who
have the matter under control, seems
to prove sbortive and the more the
public manifest an inquisitive interest,
the less light they receive. During this
kind of weather very much and efficient
work might be done, it requiring but q
few days for completion, but the winter
is almost here, and if this road bed is
allowed to remain unprotected during
these rough months it will sustain in
iuries that will take thousands OF dol
lars to repair. At all events the Board
of Directors of that road owe it to the
people along the line to give some ex-
pianation OF what they are about

THERE is very decided and appar-
ent popular call for the intliction OF
summary punishment upon Spain for
her insult to the American flag IN the
capture OF the steamer Nirgin!us and
for the butGhery OF the passengers and
crew. The wholesale and hasty execu-
ton OF the dictated prisoners has ex-
cited q widespread feeling Of horror
and has aroused very bitter and de-
termined desire for retaliation: Even
in our own city, away in the interior
and remote from any personal relations
with Cuba or with Spain, the popular
indignation is such that in q very few
days regiment of West Nirginians
could be enlisted to wrest Cuba from
Spanish rule ard drive into the sea the
last Spanish soldier on the island.
The United States Government is
lookedIto TO takc,some decisive action..in

and such is the popular feeling at this

proval. What changes may be effected

nomination of Horace Greeley at Gin
cinnati, when he was promoted to edi-
tor-in-chief. Mr.. Reid is 81 years of
age and still bachelor.
His career has been one of remarka-
Die bIilliancy. In the short space of
twelve years he reached the front rank
of Journalism and stepped into the
shoes of one of the worlds greatest
editors. As politician he has been
quite unfortunate. He favored the
nomination of Chief Justice Chase at
Chicago in 1868, and would have sup
ported him had he been nominated by
the Democracy at New York. Some
have been SO uncharitable as to claim
that Reid's unswerving support of Mr..
Chase was the result of weakness for
the Judges youngest daughter. His
support of Horace Greeley was due to
the force of circumstances, but equally
disastrous. Mr.. Reid is a man of rare
talent, and is destined to figure promi-
nently in the field ofjournaIism.
