A White Sulphur Springs letter to
the New York Tribune says that erro-
neous statements have been published
in regard to General Beauregard's pro-
posed engagement with the Argentine
confederation. The letter says:
About six weeks ago the general re-
ceived an offer from President Sarmi-
ente, of the confederation, rendering
the position of military engineer, with
view to making plans for the defen-
SEES of the river La Plata, in Buenos
Ayres. The offer was made by an ac-
credited foreign agent of the govern
ment, who was then in New York.
The general was to make his % %W X s fon
position iSni on eS,an acceptance of the
$4,000 be deposited with soiilia respon-
sible banker in London or Paris sub
ject to General Beauregard's order.
This deposit was to be guarantee for
the payment of his salary of $50 0U
per annum and that of his staff. In
the event of General Benuregard's ac-
ceptance and the acceptance OF his
terms by the government, Minister
Garcia, who was in Paris when the
offer was made, was to conclude the
contract. 1t is not thought that the
supercedure of Sarmiente as president
of the confederation and his appoint
ment as minister to Washington, will
affect in any way the pending negotia-
tons. AT present General Beauregard
is president of the New Orleans and
CarrOllton railroad, and consulting en-.
gineer of the cities of Galveston and
Houston, and is soon to receive the
presidency of a railroad in Texas. OF
course he will not give up his present
positions and prospects at home for I'M
certainties abroad. The next few weeks
will probably decide whether he will go
to South America.

CRIME THE STATE.

Judge Frank P. Word, in recent
charge to the grand jury of Navarro
county, accounted for the prevalence
of crime and lawlessness in the state
in the following manner:
"Now, who are directly responsible
for our present condition, and in whom
lies the remedy? Demogogues pro-
claim that the rapid increase of crime
is to be attributed to the change of poll
teal party in our state government.
This is too contemplate to require no.
tice or reply. Thieves and murderers
care not for party affiliations or for
party success. The fault lies with the
people themselves. The laws receive
neither that moral or that physical
support from the people to give them
full force and effect. In the older and
better regulated states, when crime
is committed, men will leave their
plows standing in their fields, all
trades and occupations are dropped,
and pursuit hot and instant made, and
the guilty party is Overtaken and held
for trial and for punishment Every
citizen, as he values his property. his
his libeey and his life, feels deep
DtEsUliitl llJcItsL III TIC Dloptl tNSSu-
ton of the law. But it is not so i'm our
state. For fear of being held to court
as witnesses, or incurring some risks in
making arrests, men will turn their
faces when crime is being com mitted
or flee from the scene; aud If the party
committing the same is not arrested at
the time, but escapes, little or no effort
is made to secure his arrest. Under our
system of government every citizen is
q sovereign, and has his individual
share of responsibilities and of duty
in the administration of the govern
ment and the execution of the law.
The fountain of power is with the peo-
pie and the execution of the laws with
the juries, coming from and being Of
the people. Our laws for the suppression
of crime are rs stringent, and our code
as perfect, as that of any of our sister
states, and complaints are not made |
that the law is not properly charged |
by the courts. The courts give the law ; |
but the juries, by their verdicts, exc
cute the law, and are directly RESPONSE
BILE for the manner of such execution.

THE grangers of California have re-
solved, among other things, 10 start a
bank in San Francisco, with a capital
of five million of dollars. One million
of this sum has already been sub
scribed. When this bank is started
farmers will be enabled to borrow
money on as favorable terms as any
other class, and as a result, the grain
and other trades will be placed on
better footing, as regards producers.
They have also chartered fifty vessels
in the port of San Francisco on their
own account, and expect soon to send
all their grain TO market under their
sole control.
