TIE grand jury of Travis county sub
mitted Il presentment to the court last
week covering several very important
matters. They place first in their "cat-
egory of grie"ances'' the catching of
the young shad from the Colorado, aud
recommend that it be stopped by Il city
ordinance fOrbidding the sale of sucs
fish in market. In the second place
they call TO the attention Of the court
the constant occurrence of burglaries
in the city OF Austin, and attribute the
non-detectioG Of theperpetrators to the
inetliciency of the police. They say on
this point:
We submit that in n small city like
Austin, every man, his character, his
habits aud pursuits, could be easily as
certained, and that those who live
without honest work, and in constant
violation of law, should be pursued
with unrelenting vigilance, aud pun
iShcd commensurate with their crimes
and misdemeanors, until the evils of
which the community complains are
suppressed.
We demand of the district attorney
a rigorous prosecution of the in9jct-
ments filed and in case of failure oflhe
prompt payment of fines for misde-
meanors, we recommend to the sheriff
where it is possible, to hire the convict
as provided 10y law, to individuals or
corporations, that they may he COM

indicating the expiration of their term
of Imprisonment. The honest toiler
in the sun contributes to the support
Of the government which protects his

that the time should end when such

They directed their attention thirdly, |
to the many frauds that have been
on the land office depart
nent. Their presentment on this SUBJ
ect is as follows:
Our deliberations have been delayed
~ the tedious investigation of the
many frauds committed and attempted

rears, upon the land Office department.
N this matter we deplore our inability

UNDER the heading, "rhe Houston
FIGURING Mill causes it owners to fail"
the Galveston News, of yesterday, has
the following: ~
"<ANsAs CITY, OCTOBER THE
public were startled, yesterday, by the
report of the failure of the well known
firm Of Dewar& Son, owners of the
Diamond mills. On investigation, the
repOrto proved true, and it appears
that their liabilities in this city alone
to 800, 900. The total liabilities
will probably reach the round sum of
$4,000. The misfortune that has over
taken this firm is supposed to have
been superin,luced by theif-reccnt es-
Enlistment OF BRANCH mill. ut Hogs
ton, Texas. whiehN venture is said to
have turned OUT Badly. Their assets
are supposed ample to cover the loss
-es. -
Rhere is just enough truth III this to
Fender the whole false, and apparently
malicious. In the first place, the
Houston Touring Mill has not caused
lis owners TO fail. On the contrary,
they are greatly encouraged by their
success SO far, and look forward 10 q
nlShly prosperous bISinesS. SecOlluiJJ
il is not "hranch" of the Diamond"
or of any other mills, being an entirely
independent concern. Thirdly, Messrs.
Dewar d Son, OF Kansas City, are not
the owners of the Houston mill, nor
has that firm any interest in It.
The one fourth interest of Mr.. J. a.
DeWar in the Houston mill is entirely
disconnected from this Kansas City
business. Fourtiiiy, the firm OF Dewar
IL Son have not failed at all, their
embarrassment being temporary only.
They resumed business on the very
day the above dispatch was penned, as
we learn from u letter from Mr.. DeWar
himself, witten on the Dist instant in
which he says "YOu will probably
hear of the suspension of Dewar II Son;
but am glad to inform you that it has
been only for few days, and that now
we are Oh our feet again in better shape
than we have ever BEEN" Will the
News have the kindness to correct the
error into which il has been led?-

DALLAS has now arrived at that
stage in her progress when the estab-
lishment of manufactures il of vital
Importance to her future growth in
wealth and solidity. She may 90 on
opening commission houses, real es-
tate offices, dry good stores, grocery
stores and bar rooms, but unless our
materials for progress are founded ON
manufactures, the process of increase
will be slow, if not doubtful. There is
no reason why we may not profit by
the example of Louisville, which has
grown rich by manufacturing, espe-
cially through her furniture factories.
A number of factories will do more to-
wards keeping money in general local
circulation, than any other form of In
Testment Manufacture is now the
sword.

As FAR az we have observed, the i'm
migration into this section, Judging by
the number of wagons passing, is
greater than it was this time last year.
One train of ten wagons passed through
last week alone. The immigrants as
a class, are farmers, with good wagons
and teams, plenty of children and a
Gathering lack of eur dogs. The ma
joldty of them are from the southern
states, although there is II fair proper
zion from the west. IN taking look
through this county, the increase in
farmers and population is very percep-
tible, and the houses being built are
more comfortable. The cheapness of
lumber has much to do with the quail
~ of the houses being erected and al
ready built.

We understand that some fifteen or twenty
Of the Knights Templar belonging to the
Stevenson Commandery, of this place, will
visit New Orleans during the session of the
trlennal conclave of the Grand Encamp-
ment of the United States in that city in
Dccem Der next. All the arrangements for
the trip have been completed, and they will
leave here on the 2Sth instant. A large
number of persons outside Of the Com
mandery will avail themselves of this oppor-
tunity to visit the queen city OF the South.
We understand that the Grand Commander
of the United States has overruled the deci-
sion of the Grand Commander of Louisiana,
and that Communicates which still wear the
old regalia have right to participate in the
retnon at New Orleans.
The much. needed rain has come at last.
1t commenced raining Saturday night, and
continued steadily all day Sunday and the
greater part of Sunday night. This is the
first rain of any consequence we have had
for over six weeks. 1t has cleared OF bright
and warm this morning.
The monthly term of the County Court
commences to-day, and the city is filled with
people from the country, who have not yet
gotten over the old habit of attending the
County Court although there is so little bu-
siness to be transacted in it.
