quite young aud was educated in that
State. After being for five or six
years a member Of the Legislature he

He was brilliant man, but possessed
an inordinate love tor liquor, which,
overcame everything else. He brought
discredit upon himself and an estima-
bic family, by his intcmperance, and
was forced into private life on that &C
count. His constitution shattered. by
excuses, his early death was the natu.

What the West Needs.

While the farmers Of the West are
trying to solve the cheap t, ansporta-
ton question, they SHOULD not overlook
a subject 50 vital to their interest "
cheap ireights We refer to the subiec.
Of home manufactures. If it is wise
to secure a reduction Of transportation
rates to the East, 50 that the products
Of the farm eau be sent to the coosu.
lne.s at less price than ut present, it
would appear still wiser to briug the
consumer in closer contact with the
producer, and thus do away the pres
ent necessity Of expensive transporter
ton.
The West needs manufactures, that
will draw around them the skilled Ia.
bur Of the East. Car factories, wooden
factories, cheese factories, manutacto-
ries for the making OF furniture, agri-
cultural implements, and the countless
articles needed III the house and on the
farm, are au'vng the Industrial inter-
ests which should be encouraged in
every Western State. The benefit to
the tanner would be two-told; he
would pay less for what he wanted and
would ret more for the products sold.
A market would be ut his door. and
the surplus that now rots on the farm,
because Of his inability to pay IT. way
to market, would find ready purchasers
ut gcod prices. Soms Of the more en-
terpris,ng cities and towns OF the West
have encouraged the growth OF man.
utacturiny Interests, aud the result has
been a rapid and substantial increase
Ut wealth aud general prosperity. The
closer the producer is broasnt to the
consumer the better it is tor both.
rh,s is 50 simple aud seit-evileut u
statement that none eau deny it. The
West needs additional outlets to the
East aud to the seaboard, but w look
t. the Development OF its manufa ctu-
ring Interests as tho one thing nssIed
to build up its prosperity.-Reputitc.

CONGREGATIONAL.

Congress convened last Mon lay, Tor
the XLIl1d session.
The Senate was called to order by
Vico President Wilson, and a quorum
was found present. Mr.. Sumner in.
troduccd several bills. One providing
for tt abolition of tho Vice>Prcsidcn-
cy, and the election Of tho President
BY direct vote. Also ono to extend
the Presidential term to six years, and
to make the incumbent Ineligible to
hold "a second term. Mr.. Window in
PRODUCED joint resolution providing
for tho election Of United States Sena-
tors by the people.
Mr.. Conkling introduced bill to
cover into the Treasury Of the U. s.,
all monies belonging to Members OF
Congress, under the act Of March last,
which had not been accepted and ap-
prcprl0teu Oy tncM.
Mr.. Wright, Of Iowa, introduced a
bill to repeal the act Of March Sd,
1873, increasing the salaries Of the
Me mbcrs Of Congress.
Mr.. Pratt, Of Indiana, introduced
bin fixing the salary CT Members ut
$1,000 per year. The bill also pro-
vides that the disbursiug officer Of each
house moy retain one-third Of the
monthly dues Of every member who
accepted the additional salary, until
the sum so retained shall be equal to
the amount heretofore drawn by each,
respectively, in excess Of the salary
and allowances formerly Established
This is home.thrust at some Of the
greedy ones, and although the provis-
ion is not likely to become a law, it
will afford an excellent opportunity for
some members, whose record on the
original question is not we'll understood,
to "explain."
Several resolutions relating TO the
finances Of the country, were offered,
and a disposition to afford speedy re-
lief from the present stringency, seemed
general.
Hon. Jas. G. Blaine, was reelected
for the second time, Speaker Of the
House Of Representatives, and upon
taking the chair, made brief speech,
rendering thanks and eulogisins the
nation upon its extent, growth in pop
ulatioo, enterprise, wisdom and beuefi-
ccuce, after which tho subordinate
officers we're elected and sworn in.
Nj: Hall gave notice Of bill to re-
peal the act increasing the salary Of
members.
Although the Presidents Message
vas not presented to Congress on Mon
day, We expect to receive it in time to
present tho leading recommendations
in this issue.

TRADE.

It is generally understood Of late,
that wheat is bringing higher price
at several points adjacent to Austin,
than buyers are paying hero, and con.
sequently it has been seeking market
elsewhere. Trade is necessitated by
production, and is always most prosper
Gus at those points where produce is
in greatest demand :; hence if our chief
staple seeks buyers at heretofore unu-
sual aud obscure places, theten2ency to
carry with it the trade in general mer-
chandiss and mechanics, is Inevitable.
Where the producer sells his wares,
there also will he purchase his supplies.
Upon this universally rec 'gnized fact,
are predicated all OF those trans actions,
growing out Of a diversified industry,
and the employment Of capital and
labor,-wh;ch we call business When
these are 80 adjusted and managed as
to result the most favorably to all
classes, they ezsmplify the Fundamental
law Of business, Vi. Concentration.
A commercial mart is tho one neoes-
sity Of every agricultural State, aud to-
ward some central point, easy Of access
and 10 direct communication by public
thorouehfare with the established mar
kets Of the continent, the produce Of u
whole commonwealth not unfrequently
converges; but there is tendency, ut
present, to localize trade and to ditfuse
more widely and more equally its adj
vantagcs. This results in building up
aud sustaining in each county, a prin
c'ipal business place. U"der this in
fluence Austin has grown to its present
position Of prominence, beuefitting 9TH
ers and building up itscl!, until its re-
lations with the surrounding country
have become. in measure, mutual aud
vital, necessary to the convenience Of
both, and indispensable to their pros
perity. If, therefore, at this critical
moment, the mutually Of their business
relations be interrupted, and the har-
mong Of their commercial intercourse
be marred, by the establishment Of u
combination for tho purpose Of rcduc-
ing the price Of produce below that e.
tablished by the leading markets, the
result cannot but prove most disastrous
to the city and the country, while only
few spectators will derive any ad.
vantages from the general calamity.
If it be true that concerted action Of
the buyers here has resulted in an arbi-
trary reduction Of the price Of wheat,
and consequently in vastly diminishing
the trade Of thu city, such action should
be taken ut once as will result in the
establishment Of q Boa'l Of Truoe,
composed Of men representing all de-
partn'e"ts Of business. The price Of
produce can thus BE- made to approx.
mate the true standard, and tho differ.
ent departments Of trade be kept in
equilitri Am,-a consummation very
much to be desired.
