SAN ANTONIO AND AUSTIN.

The San Antonio Herald tells of an 'hon-
est farmer from Nacogdoches, y who had ar
rived in that city from Austin, with the
doleful tale that the people of our city had
given him and other immigrants very dis
couraging account of the country around
San Antonio, and that he had come there to
Judge for himself. He also, informed the
Herald that he had seen the best farming
country he had found in the State on his
way from Austin to the ancient city of the
Mexicans Now all this is calculated to
produce the impression that our people arc
unfriendly to San Antonio, and are trying to
disparage the country around it, which we
arc sure is not the fact. We don't know
what sort of people the ''honest farmer"
fell in with, while sojourning aour city,
but We are certain they were noeshe right
sort, If they endeavorcd to misrepresent
matters to him. We have often said, that
the country between this and San Antonio
was one Of the most beautiful and dcsira-
ble in Texas; but it is an undisputable
fact, that the country Immediately around
San Antonio is poor for agricultural pur-
poses Along tho valley of the river the
lands are rich, but off from the valley, Tor
a very considerable distance around, the
lands are dry and poor, comparatively, and
the best proof Of this is that they lie uncul-
tivated. II any Austinian represented that
the country between this city and San An
tonic, until you get within distance Of
some ten to fifteen miles, was poor and un-
desirable, he was grossly ignorant or viii
fully misreprcsented the matter. We trust
our friends at San Antonio viii not imagine,
for moment, that the bulk of the people of
Austin entertain any hostility towards that
ancient and beautiful city, or would do any
thing to retard its growth and prosperity,
or that Of the country around it. There is
room and business enough for both cities
and they are too far apart for any serious
rivalry to spring up between them.

Georgetown early in the morning Of de
lightful day, and travelling over beautiful
rolling county, one sees muck to please the
eye-fne lands, comfortable buildings,
good farms, with plenty evidence Of good
crops in the shape of mammoth corn stalks
and tall cotton-I am almost led to say
trees. Indeed this whole section has been
blesSed-excellent wheat crop, average corn
crop, and such yield Of the feecy staple
as to surprise the oldest planters. Should
cotton recover from the panic, money will

DI-NoNIACAL possession IS not III these

PREPARATIONS are already being made
for the great Centennial Celebration at
Philadelphia, in 1876. Plans for the build
ings have been submitted and adopted.
Our readers may form some idea of the
grand scale on which every thing is to be,
when we inform them that the contem-
plated buildings will cover thirty-six and
one half acres of the Fairmount Park 1t is
expected that contributions from the whole
civilized and semi-civilized world will be
brought for exposition there. 1t is intended
to eclipse anything of tile kind ever yet
had, and no labor and expense will be
spared. We hope to live long enough to
join in this grand demonstration over the
birth of freedom in this western world, and
to see all the wonders of the great Centen-
NAL Exhibition.

IT appears from late writer in Hayper's
Weekly that the word panic comes from the
heather god, Pan. When the Persians in
vaded Greece, the Athenians sent messen-
ger to Sparta for help. He was met on the
way by the god, Pan, and asked why the
Athenians did not worship him as he had
always befriended them. After the battle
Of Marathon, the Persians fleeing in great
confusion, the Athenians attributed it to
Pan, and set apart cave near the Acropolis
for his worship. Hence, any great and sud-
den disorder and confusion was called paRi-
con in Greek, and has thus descended into
all the modern languages of Europe. We
suppose the late money and political panics
Of the Radicals reminded the editor Of
Harper's Weekly, who is classical scholar,
of this derivation. Truly Pan has been
aiding the Democracy, and hasstruck terror
and dismay into the hearts and ranksOf the
Radicals.

The latest estimates represent enumber
of miles of railroads in the United States
to be something more than sixty-seven
thousand miles, and their cost about
50, 500, 600, 600, or little less than &44, 600
a mile. But in many cases it is alleged this
extraordinary cost includes not only the
actual expenditure for construction and
equipment, but also the indebtedness in
.volved by watering stock and additional
issues of bonds for a dividend of sroils
among railroad directors and managers. A
financial writer in New York estimates the
amount of watered stock OF bogus capital
of railroads, at $3.50, 000, 600, but expresses
the opinion that as the construction and
equipment accounts in many cases have
been augmented far beyond the real cost
through the connivance Of the contractors
and managers at the expense Of the stock
holders, this estimate is not half enough,
and that the public is charged with $500,
600, 600 more than it would have been If
everything had been conducted honestly.
By which it is MEANT that the public Is
required to pay, in the way Of freight and
passage money, higher rates in order to
make dividends on the much inflated or
fictitious capital. - Florididn

THE irrepressible Susan B. Anthony
voted again at the last election in New
York. If we are not mistaken, she was
fined for voting at the last election in that
State, but it is hard to suppress one Of these
semi-masculine monstrosities. They have
more perseverance and endurance than men
with all the unreasonable determination of
excited woman. Susan will be crying
scissors as long as her head is above
water. Drowning outright can alone stop
her mouth and keep her from bawling for
suffrage. This woman suffrage is one of
the offsprings of Radicalism, and the effort
to secure it may cease with its downfall.
True Democracy regards woman too highly
to wish her involved and besmearcd with
the filth Of politics.

if we should judge by the signs Of the late
overflow, which must, from the signs, have
risen at least forty feet We were lust able
to cross it; found the current very strong

WE regret to sec the North Texan favoring
the formation of new party. Our friend,
the editor, ought to see, as we think, after
the success of the Democracy in the late
elections, that the old Democratic party
only can muster up strength enough for the
overthrow of Radicalism A peoples or
farmers party would fail to accomplish
this No new combination can be as strong
as the cid Democratic party. The Greeley
experiment ought to have satisfied the editor
of the North TeraR and every other Demo
crat that mixed up concern with no fixed
principles or all sorts of principles, cannot
succeed. There is nothing to hinder all the
elements of opposition to Grant and Radi-
calism from uniting with the Democracy and
thus insuring victory. The matter looks so
plain to us that we are astonished to find
sensible Democrats counseling anything
else. The idea of a great party, made up
exclusively of farmers and entertaining all
sorts of pa lciples, is preposterous, and
should not be entertained moment.

TEXAS is to be cut off from political SYM

No, only cut off from Radicalism, at
which they will have the sympathy of all

Northern Radicals will rejoice at the down
fall of such Radicals as We have in Texas
