The following letter from General j..

AuSrIE, TEXAs, March 8, 1875.
To the Editor of the Dallas Herald:
viii you please announce that the
delegates for the excursion to promote
| Immigration, and given by the Cen
| tral railroad to the counties on that
line, will rendezvous at Denison on
Thursday, the Sth day of April. Each
county will be allowed two delegates, to
be selected 10y the people at public
meetings, or in any other way they
may see proper, the object being to
secure as delegates good and well in
| formed citizens, who are identified
with the county they will represent,
and are familiar with its resources and
advantages.
The delegates will furnish to me, at
this city, by the 18th of this month
March, IL certificate of their appoint
ment, duly signed, with seal attached
by the chief justice, county clerk, or
notary public of their county. These
certiii Gates of appointment will be pre-
sented by me to the chief passenger
agent of the Central railroad, who will
furnish each delegate, through me,
with his pass in time to reach DenisOn
on the morning of the Sth of April, as
above stated. The excursion will leave
that city for St. Louis, Louisville and
/ ana cincinnati. 1t Is respectfully
suggested to the counties to be
prompt in appointing their
delegates, and in furnishing them with
the proper printed matter for distribu-
tion, setting forth the resources and
advantages of their counties, rs it is
confidently believed this excursion, if
properly managed, will result in much
good not only to the counties represent
ed, hnt to the state at large. The dele
gales VIII be furnished with transpor-
tation from their der0ts to Denison.

ber OF Commerce.

Der OF Commerce.
The long letter of Mr.. Wood, addressed to
the President of the Chamber of Commerce,
which we print to-day, deserves the careful
attention Of our importing merchants. 1t is
well known to lawyers and others interested
in such matters that there has recently been
executed and printed, under the superintend-
ence of committee of Congress, a new vol
ume or code called the Revised Statutes, and
comprising, in a classified and convenient
form, all the laws of the United States con-
tanned in the seventeen volumes of the Statutes
at Large. The value Of such a work, if faith
fully executed, is obvious. The statutes re-
lating to any particular subject have been
enacted at such distant periods-many of
them repeating parts but not the whole of
previous laws-that it required laborious re-
search and comparison to find the actual state
mistakes from overlooking some statute
or failing to discover the extent of
the repeating effect of subsequent
upon preceding enactments. The revisers
undertook to thread this labyrinth ard reduce
its chaos to order. The proper object of their
labors was to bring all the laws relating to the
same subject under one head, emitting all
laws and parts OF laws which have been re-
pealed and digesting those which remain in
force into lucid order and easy intellgibility,
so that any person wishing to ascertain the law
on any subject could find it all in the compass
Of o few clear and consistent pages. Had the
execution correspondent to the design there
could be no question of the great value of the
work.
The subject on which the acts of Congress
have been most constantly varying most in
consistent with one another and most difficult
to reconcile and interpret, was the legislation
relating to the duties on imported goods.
This part of the Revised Statutes ought to
have been more carefully digested than any
other. In point of fact it has been the worst
executed of all. II was the duty and the
professed object of the revisers to state the
laws as they actually existed in December,
1873, changing nothing, assuming TO interpret
nothing, but merely winnowing laws and
parts of laws in force from laws and parts of
laws which have been repealed and collecting
the sifted result under separate heads so that
the whole law on any given subject might be
found in one place in ORDERLY ARRANGEMENT.

A Point in tho Philosophy Of tn. nay.

Point In tho Philosophy OF the Day.
The English philosophers have been lately
discussing the origin of language with refer
ence to the Darwinian theory of the origin of
man. It is claimed by one side 10 the debate
that thought without language is impossible,
and that, as the inferior animals have no Ian
guage, they have, therefore, no thought, and
that it follows the theory of the evolution o.
man from the simians must be illogical On
the other hand, it is suggested that il
thought is impossible without language
man must have been like the monkey
before language was invented, and
it is asked how. without precedent thought,
could he invent the expression of it? Into
this maze Of metaphysical inquiry we shall no
further introduce the reader, except to cite
one fact, which these philosophers would do
well to examine. This is the exceptional case
of Laura Bridgeman, deaf, dumb and blind
from infancy Did this remarkable girl think
before she acquired a language, and if she did
not think how was her subsequent knowledge
of language acquired? One more case might
be cited in respect to the theory of
Descartes, that the animals, man only ex-
cepted, are merely automatic machines, who
really feel neither pain nor pleasure. This is
the case OF rhinoceros which recently died
at the Jardin des Plantes, in Paris. This great
beast was fierce and untamable; yet, like
Lord Byron, he had one friend-a dog. This
little lapdog had squeezed himself into the
cage Of the monster, which became SO
fond of him that all his liberties were
tolerated. Accidentally the rhinoceros put
his foot upon the dog and killed it, The
grief of the poor brute, we are told, was
pitiful, and for two days he refused to cal
particle of food. He could not speak-this
rhinoceros whom Carlyle would have, there
fore, admired-and consequently, could not
think. But was his sorrow merely the ex-
preston of some automatic movement of the
brain--the unmeaning jarring of an inter-
rupted machine? We leave the answer to
these questions to Mr.. Proctor, Mr.. Huxley,
Professor Tyndall and to our American
philosophers, whose part in the discussion
ought not to be secondary to that of their Eng
lish contemporaries.

The street Cars.

One of the nominations Of city life II tho
street car, which at the same time that 1t has
made it possible for people to inhabit parts
of the city previously inaccessible by reason
of their distance has compelled them to Sc
cure the slight advantage Of their journey
thther at the terrible expense of vitality inn
piled in the necessity of passing from one to
two hours q day in this most infamous of We
hicles. With its tediousness, its crowd. its
irrespirable atmosphere, its cold in winter and
its sufocation in summer, it's draughts of
polar temperature sent in from the front door
which the conductor holds open at his pleas
ure, and the array of forty-eight frozen feet
under the benches-the real source of how
many cases of pneumonia and bronchitis,
who can tell with all these horrors tho
people are sufficiently familiar; and now,
apparently, another is to be added to
the number. DR.. J. P. Garrish, one Of
our city physicians Of good repute, has
given publicity to the opinion that these
vehicles are among the efficient causes Of
the spread and continuance of diphtheria.
However doubtful may be the problem as to
the epidemic character of this disease, there is
no doubt whatever that it is distin city conta-
gious, and that its virulent principle proceeds
from the throat Of an affected person
to excite the disease in the throat of another
person hitherto well or perhaps disposed to
the malady by depressed condition Of his
system. DR.. Valeix vas cauterizing the
throat of patient affected with diphtheria
The contact of the caustic excited sudden
cough, by which some mucus from the
patients throat was thrown upon the doctors
face and even into his mouth. Within short
time diphtheritic symptoms manifested them
selves, and in few days the doctor died of
that disease and the whole profession in
Paris felt satisfied that the disease was COM
municated by that contact of saliva. Imagine,
then, from twenty to thirty persons packed in
a vehicle of such dimensions that it cannot
hold enough pure air for the healthy respira-
ton of five persons, the larger number of
them remaining there from thirty minutes to
an hour. At one end or the other doors are
opened sufficiently to make every one uncom-
Portable, but never in such way as to change
the air OF ventilate the vehicle. In fact, the
air is breathed over and over again. All these
people, who would be daintily squeamish over
their food and would not in any circumstances
swallow dirty water. are taking in dirty air
air in the fltbiest conceivable condition of
contamination air that has been into the
lungs of every other person in the car; and, if
any person in the car has contagious disease
in his throat air that almost necessarily car
ries the germs of that disease. This is the
picture that the people have to contemplate as
one of the new glories of the beautiful street
car system.
