wheat and Mills in Dallas city.
TRrsr1y MILLS. March 10, 1875


promised two months since, Mr..
Editor, to give you a few items In re-
gard to the coming wheat crop of our
county. Just at that time, however,
the beginning of our unprecedented
cold winter deferred me, and its long
continuance las was supposedly threat
ened the success of the entire crop, so
deferred saying anything under such
unfavorable promises; but, thanks to
our close, compact soil, the freezing
only injured o small proportion of the
crop-that on newly turned turf ana
sown very late. Such fields have SUI
fered much from frost. The remarks
shall make upon my subject, | think
will generally apply TO most other sur
rounding counties, of course with some
notifications, particularly as regards
milling capacity.
/ cannot definitely state the acreage
of wheat in Dallas county, but think
/ can safely estimate il at $4,000 acres;
fair yield would he 100000 bushels,
but to make safe estimate, we will
put the crop at 500,00O bushels. Esti-
mating the population at 10000, we
have with the larger Yield per capital
l8s bushels, or at the minimum ia.
To work up this crop we have In our
city twenty-five run of burrs, each ca
pable of grinding 1900 bushels in the
season, or $40, 900 Ia the aggregate.
Now compare our minimum pros
poet with our mill capacity, and IL will
appear that 15O,O00 bushels remain in
excess of such capacity; twice as much
as would furnish seed for another large
crop. Out of the 35D,0o0 bushels
ground, 9OO,000 Tor its equivalent iD
fiour) would go 10 supply markets out
side. Taking the above estimates as
approximating truth, the prospects for
both the farming and milling Interests
are ve.y good in this section of the
state, especially when we consider that
our late severe winter has probably de-
stroyed large part Of the crop In the
northern and western states, where
the meteorological records show an
average of two degrees greater cold
than has been known for very many
years.
But there is another subject of vital
interest to both farmers and millers,
bearing directly upon the wheat and
flour question, which should receive
their united and persevering efforts 10
correct land to my mind legitimate
subject for granger action). IL is the
unfair discrimination made BY rail-

The First Ease of civil Rights


In this state, of Importance, came OFF
down the Central railway n short dis
lance below here. The Pullman sleep
ing car San Jucinto, whereof clever
Harry White is conductor, and Bill, a
popular mulatto, is porter, had stopped
at station called Corsicana. One of
your regular cornfield darkies, with his
hair plated up and. dressed in linscy
woolsey clothes, stepped on to the plat
form and into the car. His eyes aud
mouth were wide open with curiosity.
Bill, who is a highly respectable and
intelligent colored gentlemen, with line
sole Ferginny" manners, eyed the
man and brother with infinite disgust,
and began to pump water up into the
wash basin with the patent soda foun-
tain looking arrangement attached.
Cuffee was thirsty and said, "Here
you, mister, whufier you charge fur dat
sody ?"
Conductor White tipped Bill the
wink, and Bill replied: 1--WE charge
five cents glass, but look here, Mig
ger, you git, you impertinent black
rascal. What the devil do you mean
by coming into this car for your soda
water? Clean out, or I'll break that
kinkey head Of yours" The astonish-
ment of the innocent African was SUI
preme, and he beat a hasty retreat, the
indignant Bill coming for him mean
time. "Just let me catch you in this
car again, and I'll give you your civil
rights, you aliigator-footed African, you
heard me, honey"
Bill is determined that the civil
rights business can't go on while he is
porter OF the San Jacinto, evidently.

Fire at Bates Mill, Lewiston.

LEWISTON, Dec. 3. 1t was four o'clock

it caught. The fire started in the north
end of the dye house, containing also cloth

ed gradually south, against the full force
of the fire department and fire apparatus
of the mill, till it reached the brick parti-
ton wall separating the dry house from
the wooden mill Here a desperate con-
test Of several hours occurred, to save the
wooden mill. Men were nearly frozen, so
repeated alarms were sounded for help,
as they became exhausted, and the pipes
had to be tied for want of men to direct
them. A great amount of suffering was
experienced The officers and men of the
mill have been on duty all night and are
nearly worn out. The force pumps of the
mill are still at work extinguishing the
remains OF the fire. Work will be resum-
ed, in parts of the mill not injured, at
once. Rough estimate of loss, 100000.

Tweed has escaped from the sheriff in
New York ard gone to parts unknown.
He was taken out from the jail Saturday
for ride for his health and was allowed
to call at his house on Madison avenue
The officer gave him permission to 60 up
stairs for a private interview with Mrs
Tweed, and when enquiry was made for
him the prisoner was not to be found
The police are of the opinion that he
slipped out of the front basement door
and was taken to the East river. where he
embarked on small steam vessel. 1t is
suspected that Tweed's money had some
thing to do with the convenient blindness
of the sheriff. Gov. Tilden will have to

Some weeks ago prominent British
paper intimated that the occupation Of
Egypt by Great Britain would one day be-
come a political necessity for the preser-
walton of British India. Following hard
upon this hint comes the recent action of
the English government in relation to the
Suez canal The purchase consists Of Ill.,
600 shares Of the canal companys stock
held by the kbedive, for which four mil
lions pounds sterling were paid. BY an
old arrangement no interest was to be paid
on his stock for nineteen years, but it is
now stated that one of the terms of the
bargain was that he should pay to the
British government five per cent. on the
purchase money for that time. But the
public can rest assured that the transac-
ton was entered upon, not for CONNER
cial. but for political reasons. The usual
explanation offered is that John Bull looks
forward to the speedy expulsion CT the sui
tan from Constantinople and the occupa-
ton of Turkey in Europe by Russia. In
the general wreck of the Ottoman empire
Great Britain proposes to make sure Of
the control of her highway to Indi at
least, and perhaps to make assurance
doubly sure, and as we'll to secure an off
set to the czar's increase of power, by es-
tablishing protectorate over the land of
the Ptolemies. The coming spring may
reveal to us the double headed eagle wav-
ing over the minarets of the city of Con-
stantne and the royal standard of England
planted upon the pyramids of the Pha-
raohs. 1t was the sentiment of former
premier of Great Britain that she had ceas-
ed to be European and had become an
Asiatic power We may live to see very
large share of the African peninsula also
added to her empire.

Congressman kasson Of Iowa, prom
inent Republican member of the House.
brought suit some time since against the
Iowa State Register tor an alleged libel
upon him in last years Congressional cleo
ton. 1t appears that the Register which
was printed in his District, published an
open letter charging hasson with having
accepted brides from a railroad company
in relation to matters pending before Con-
gress. The Register pleaded the truth of
the charges, and that the publication was
privileged, since kasson was a candidate
for office and the transaction referred to
was part of his public record. The evil
dence adduced, appeared to substantiate
the charges. The Court. in its charge to
the jury, held that the publication was
privileged, that an elector had the right
to acquant his fellow electors with any
thing which he knew, or had reason to
believe to be true, concerning a candidate
for Office
That is no doubt good law, and en-
bodies sound public policy, If u man has
been knave in one public position, it is
an excellent reason why he should not
hold another one. The mission of the
public press is to expose knavery. and the
cause OF honest government would be
grievously hurt by & verdict which should
silence the press in its exposure of such
candidates. If there are any aspirants to
Congress in the Fifth District OF Maine
who have records like Kasson's, they will
do we'll to seriously ponder his case.
