THE INrrreaar,osAn ssA'IRoAD.



The Galveston News, speaking Of the
International Bond, or subsidy question,
now before the Legislature, wants no
moro foggy legislation. 1t even takes the
Legislature by the ear, and denominates
tho bill before it as monstresity. I"
This is very well for the News; but, we
presume, the Legislature is only getting
even with the News on these foggy meas
ures. When it wants fog, as in the Pub
lie Weigher Bill, it advocates it very
strongly; when it wants the MONDAY sun
to gild matters, it shines with supernat-
ural brightness. Now, we rather like
its article Of the 10Th. We like to see
these things dealt with in an open, fair
way. A little more directness and good
deal more frnnkncss is almost an impera-
tive necessity, not only to fair solution
of this vexcd question, but proper un,
derstanding of its merits, by the people
generally. To this loudly complained of
want Of 'openness and decisiveness' on
the part of the leading journal" is re-
fsrable much of the popular hatred
against the subsidy to the International
railroad.
We heartily concur in the declaration
OF the Ncwa, as to the propriety of giving
to this corporation exactly what it is en-
titled to, in the fair and honestly ex-
pressed opinion of the Legislature, the
only judges having Jurisdiction in the
| case.
If they are not entitled to the original
six million subsidy, but to smaller
amount, say SO frankly; or, if they are
not legally or clultably entitled to any
thing, say so with equal frankness, and
relieve the public mind of any further
apprehension.
We trust the present Legislature will
deal with and settle this question def
nitely, one way or another; either LEI
them have it, or repudiate altogether the
subsidy granted by the immortal t2tt
Legislature.

GRANT ANXIOUS FOR RE ELECTIoN.--It
is said that Grant has set his heart on a
third election to the Presidency, and
that nothing plessss him so much as the
third term fiattering which he hears In a
few newspapers and from the mouths OF
some of those who have favors to ask at
his hands. 1t wa, by this talk that a
life long lobbyist from New Hampshire,
named Durkee, came here week or tive
ago, and secured the nomination to the
Senate for second term of District Ats
torney Rolf, of New Hampshire, without
the knowledge Of the delegation and
against the wishes of three of the four
Republicans from that State. The New
Hampshire men who were hostile to
Rolphe, at once raised great tempest,
and went to tie President with demand
that he should withdraw the name They
represented that Rolfe was not wellSquals
flied for the duties of the Office. The
President found that he had made mis-
take, and has promised to withdraw the
nomination when the delegation agree in
recommending his successor. This they
will do soon, and, in the meantime, the
President has requested the Judiciary
Committee not to act on Ro.fc's nomina-
tion,
