The News, Of the 9th, has long

portance Of drainage, which embodles
the opinion Of DR.. Peete the Health
Ol6csr OF Galveston. We should--
only for its lcngth-..reprodace it for
the benefit Of our own city authori-
ties. This problem Of health, and the
Importance of thorough drainage,
is one they will have to grapple with
before long. The filthy condition Of
this city consequent upon the Insult.

rible plague that ravaged Calvert

cause them to trenble, we fear.

Lawic..nes. and Crime.

Almost every mail brings us accounts
of new deeds of lawlessness and
crime. Every pnper is filled with the
horrible particulars Of blood and murder.
No: are these things confined to any par
ticular section of the State, or neighbor-
hood. 1t seems to bo wide spread and
general. sansninary difficulties, in
which one, and not unfrequently both
parties are killed. Itlis almost worth
what ones life is worth, to be q witness in
a case of any importance in the courts.
The instinct to kill seems to have grown
stronger and stronger ever since the war
All over the north and west, and ia
many localities in the south, nearly every
nsighborhood has had its tale OF horror;
its own local bloody sensation. Men 60
about armed as If they were going into
battle; old friends and neighbors meet in
the every day walks of life, and differ, as
they will and must: the sequel is, alas,
too frequently, bloody funeral. The
kuehus w Coiiihil uiuioSi oo Always Nv
hand, and when the blood is hot and the
means at hand, the thing is done.
The murder Of men purely for gain is a
new thing in Texas. Such thing before
the war was utterly unknown. Now alas,
it is of frequent occurrence. There Is a
cause for this, and also remedy for
murder, committed from whatever
motive it may be. 1t is thc province Of
the Legislature to find this cause, as well
as the remedy. The recent robbing Of
the San Antonio stngc, il is thought, was
done by highwty nen from abroad. With
a population such rs ours here in Texas,
composed Of people from all quarters of
the globe, men Of every stamp and char
actcr, the means +, detect, arrest and
punish, must be of an extraordinary
character. The plan of offering large
rewards Is good one, and the police Of
6cers of each county, sheriffs and theil
deputies, cons'ablcs and city police
should be stimulated to extra watchful-
ness and care, by the certainty of mun1i
cent reward for extra exertions made and
dangers encountered. The promptitude
with which the Legislature acted, in thu
recent San Antonio stage robbery, in au-
thorizing the Governor to offer q larg'
reward for the apprehension of the high
waymen, is most commendable, ant
should it go step farther and provide q
fund to be at all times comeatable fol
similar purposes, we think the good, law
abiding Taxpayers of the State woule
sustain them.

billiard presented memorial from
the citizens of De Soto and Caddo
parishes, Louisiana, asking that their
parishes be added to Texas. We, of
Texas, would have warm welcome
for the gallant Louisianians, but there
are other formAlities which must be
gone through, before annexation, and
Louisiana and the Federal Powers
will have to be consulted. When
these are oil settled and agreed
upon, Caddo and De Soto will be
warmly welcomed, no doubt.

men, and did their work up in rapid
and scientific style. They got away with
over three thousand dollars In gold, four
gold watches and other valuable trinkets.

The Fort 81. Philip Canaf.

The Secretary of War appointed. last
fall a special board Of United States en-
gineers 20 examine and report on Major
Howells plans and estimates for building
the Fort st. Philip canal, to connect the
Mississippi river with the Gulf of Mexico,
and made General Barnard its president.
This board first held session in New York.
then adjourned to meet in New Orleans
about December !, and recently COMPLETED
its labors in New York, by transmitting to
tie chief of engineers a majority report.
This was received at the engineer bureau
yesterday. ltis reported to have the sigma
lures of six of the seven members of the
board. and to contain an approval of Major
Howelts plans. with some slight moditca-
tions. The expense OF constructing this
canal. as estimated by Major Howell. will
be 81 500 600. and the time that should be
spent on the work three years. The board
fin the outside limi: OF the cost ct
$l0,000.0OO.
The controversy between :hose who are
in favor oi building a canal and those who
advocate confining the current of the river
and increasing ite deth at the passes, by
means of jettIes, seem to be settled by the
report of the board, only one member of 10
recommending the latter plan, which was
once tried at great expense 60 the govern
ment, and proved an utter failure. The
board g report will be sent 60 Congress as
soon as it can be copied and examined by
the Chief OF Engineers and Secretary of
War. The House Committee on Railroads
and Canals has already decided to report in
favor of undertaking this work, and the
Commerce Committee will consider it this
