QUoTING and commenting on our

QUOTING and commenting on our
article of few days ago, in regard
to tho bad practice, so prevalent in
Texas, Of styling their seminaries
and schools, universities and COL
leges, our sprightly cotomporary,
the Meria Ledger, endorses our
views us follows:
This from THE DALLAS HERALD is
exactly to the point. If our State
would seriously essay to establish first
class institutions of learning, it must
put aside all sham prospectuses, and
show itself cognizant of its great wants.
Styling every fifth-rate school u Col.
lege or University is detrimental to the
interests of those institutions which
really deserve the name, besides being
a deception which no one ought to
countenance who knows the wrong
being done.
The standard of merit in Texas
schools, according to our views, is by
far too low. Let our educators raise
it, and tolerate no sort of mediocrity.

why sTEINDEnGER WAS SENT TO
THE NAVIGATOR ISLANDS.

lNew YORK sun washington Special
ALI the world aud the rest Of man.
kind have heard how Colonel a. B.
Stelnberger was translated from San
Francisco TO the Navigator Islands in
u man-of-war belonging to the United
States, taking with him couple OF
bronze cannon and lot of second-
hand muskets. On arriving there he
at once reconstructed the Government,
establishing two Kings, who are to
bear sway alternately, and making
himself Prime Minister for life, with u
handsome income out OF the puClic
revenue and Steinberger will GER
tainly take care to collect ii. The mys-
terry OF these proceedings has puzzled
the curious very much, and some have
seen IN them the symptoms of deep
political intrigue. The truth is that
Steinberger was sent away In this style
to get rid of him. He Is an old army
officer, and was quartermaster, or
something of that sort, out on the
Pacific coast when Sam Grant, as
Steinberger still likes to call him, was
sent out there twenty odd years ago.
He Is very talkative fellow, knows II
lot of stories about Sam, and tells them
with dramatic effect. One of his ia
vorite narratives is how Sam had the
delirium tremens going down the Co
lumbia river, and jumped overheard
from the steamboat to swim ashore,
mile or so away, and was fished out
with difficulty. OF course such stories
as these are not agreeable to our hon.
ored President, and Steinberger, whom
he once loved, became II bore and ter.
ror. This feeling was heightened con-
siderably by the fact that Steinberger
was given to intimaiing mt certain
times that he was still the holder of
pecuniary obligation for about seven
hundred hundred and fifty dollars of
money lent to Sam Grant in those
early days, and which would now
amount to n neat little sum il it were
to be paid, principal and interest. No
patriot can deny that these facts nf-
ford sufficient reason for getting rid |
of Steinberger, and for sending him OIL |
to the South Seas in a Government |
vessel. The chanae is that he will
presently he killed and eaten by the |
and that will he the end of old Steiber-
ger and of Sam Grants afliiction.
The above may all be true, ex-
cept the statement that Stcinberger
was an army officer. He never had
that honor, unless being q member
of somo Generals volunteer staff,
during the war, brought him within
that category.
The writer of this was formerly
we'll acquainted with this future tit.
bit for the Cannibals of the South
sea. Ho is sharp dapper, little
fellow, capital racOnteur Of good
stories, and funny anecdotes; knows
everybody; has been everywhere;
is acute, versatile and INSCRIPTIONS;
q splendid billiardist, and had the
credit of possessing q skill in the
gamo of draw poker,
which would do no discredit to the
professor of that science-Gen i
Schenck. Tho possession of this
last accomplishment may account
for Grants /. o. U. for the $3.50,
and may yet be the remote cause of
getting the unfortunate holder of

stew with the people Of his banana

THE GRAIN CROP OF NORTHERN
TEXAS.

There arc no means to arrive at
the exact fignres in regard to the
amount. of the present grain crop OF
Northern Texas but in order to
reach an approximation, we have
consulted many of tho best informed
grain dealers and farmers in vari-
GUS parts of tho wheat belt, and
there is Il substantial agreement, as
follows:
Total of this years crop s,OO0,-
600 bushels, of which there. will be
shipped out of the State, about6 6;OOO,-
600 of bushels.

THE NATIONAL COTTON EXCHANGE
AND THE SOUTHERN TRANS
CONTINENTAL RAILWAY

The Ne'o Orleans Picayune in an
able article on the resolutions ofthe
National Cotton Exchange, rocom.
mending tho loan of the orcdit of
tho Government to aid in the COM
pletion Of tho Texas and Pacific
railway, says:
Judging from the promptitude and
unanimity with which the action of
the Convention has been opposed by
some Of our Northern exchanges, it is
not unreasonable to suppose that the
subject is mot unconneoted'' with the
Central Pacific monopoly.
The South pays Its portion of the
taxes which contributed to the build
ing of that line, and bears Its share
Of the loss resulting from the ex-
travagance and fraud attending its
construction; but most of the benefits
of the connection are beyond our
reach. Now that the North is in full
possession of these advantages, 1t
comes with rather an i'll grace from
Northern Journals to reject without
consideration proposition to assist
Southern line, particularly when that
proposition cOntemplates no loss to
the Government. Perhaps the main
reason why Colonel Scott needs the
guarantee Of the interest rom the
Government 10 enable him to negotiate
the bonds, is the discredit attached
to American railroad borrowers
In Europe-a V4lo discredit" to
which the management of the Central
Pacific road has largely contributed.
The Texas Pacific road, IL completed,
will open q trans-contipentaI line
much shorter than the Central Pacific,
through o rich section. 1t will not,
like that line, be subject to, dangers
and Interruptions from ice and snow
for several months Of the year. 1t will
bring the cotton States of the Gulf and
Atlantic seab0ard into close business
relations and regular, uninterrupted
communication with the cities and peo-
pie ofthe Pacific coast And in promot-
ing the development and prosperity of
the South and Southwest, 1t will con-
tribute TO the wealth of the nation. 1t
is a poor and narrow-minded policy
which seeks to keep one section of the
country in q state Of commercial vas
saiage to the other. We do not grudge
the money which has been expended,
and the wealth that has been seuan-
dered upon the Central Pacific road, II,
in the end, the road contribute TO the
good Of the whole people. We do not
ask the representatives of that people
even for q share OF the public bounty
which has been 30 lavishly bestowed
upon the Northern enterprise. Even.
the bare credit which Is asked for will
be secured ''sgainst the contingency Of
loss-n The request is entitled to the
consideration of Congress, because 1t is
founded upon the wants Of the people
and the business interests Of the ooiin-
try. ' =

THE GALVESTON WHARF COM
PANY AND THE GRANGERs.

We are glad TO learn that the
State Grange yesterday passed Il
resolution to memorialize the Con.
stitutional Convention to open the
way to the high seas by abolishing
the odious Wharf Company at Gal
weston.
As we said few days ago, there
is no doubt but the Legislature, in
making the various grants of priv
ileges to the Galveston Wharf Com
pany, greatly transcended its au.
thority. If this be so, it is clear
that the Con,titional Convention,
representing the sovereignty of the
State, may resume the right of
eminent domain over the sea front
of Galveston, and withdraw gran is
illegally made.
The late regulation, taxing every
carload of wheat passing from the
railroad depot to the elevator, at
the rate of So, is the straw which
has broken down the long forbear,
ance of the people towards this inso-
lent and graspingcorporation. Let
the nuisance be removed.

THE CONVENTION VOTE.

On the 2lst of August tho vote OF
one hundred and nine counties had
been received and counted at Aus
tin, showing the following result:
For Convention. lG3
Against stConvention .........-.."."...."-'DOG OG'
Majority "a, ,i5s
IQtal
Leaving thirty-nine counties, gen.
orally small ones, to hear from.
These figures fully bear out our
estimate ten days ago that there
would bo fully hundred thousand
votes cast, and that the majority for
the convention would be at the least
$4,000.
The total vote cast Mt tho last
gubcrnatorial election, in round
numbers, was l57 900; namely, l04,-
900 for Coke and $4,000 for Davis;
so instead of there not being one
third of the vote of the State cast,
at the late election, nearly, if not
quite two-thirds of her vote was cast;
thus completely upsetting all the
theories of the Galveston Ne,rS.

THE sUBORDINATION OF CALIFOR.
MA POLITICIANS I'D MONOP-

To n friend in San Diego, Cali
fornia, wa are indebted for copies
of The Daily Union of that city,
containing interesting information
in reference to tho Congressional
contest in that district. Politics, it
seems, has been entirely subordi-
mated there, to the railroad question;
that is, whether the Central Pacific
monopoly shall continue in perpe-
tuity to levy tribute upon the whole
trans Continental commerce, and
practically exclude the South from
the Pacific coast, or whether Con.
gress shall grant the loan of Its
credit for the completion Of the
Texas and Pacific and thus put
an end to it. The man who
is running in the interest of monop-
oily calls himself q Democrat, while
the friend Of fair play to the South
and to his district, which is largely
interested in the completion of the
Texas and Pacific. is Republican.
Nothing illustrates tho demoral-
izing power possessed by vast mo-
nopoIy, like tho Central Pacific,
than tho present position of candi-
dates and parties in California on
this Texas and Pacific question.
The people of California are
groaning under the despotism
of this grasring and gigantic
monopoly, which owns nearly every
mile of railway in the State, and
leyies tribute AZ discretion, on every
human being and every pound of
freight, which reaches the Pacific
coast by land. In spite of this
fact, with the exception of Mr..
Houghton, the leaders and can.
didates of both political parties
seem to be owned, body and
soul, by this gigantic corpora
ton. Tho despots care nothing
for the politics of their tools, so that
they bear faithful allegiance to them.
In Democratic districts the central
railroad candidates arc Democrats,
and money is poured out like water
to secure their election. In Repub-
lican districts the central railroad
candidates are Republicans, with free
access 10 the exchequer of their mas
ters- Or, it may be, as it is, in some
of the districts of California, that
the candidates Of both parties wear
the brass collar of Stamford and
Huntington and the Bank Of Cali
fornia. 7l lle .l4as1f'f
As for Mr.. Wigginton, the oppo-
nent Of Houghton, in the Southern
Congressional District, it seems 50
well understood that he is the mere
creature Of the Central Pacific mo-
nopoly that the best Democrats of
the District are holding aloof, and
taking no part in the election.
Little wonder, for as between q con-

The correspondent of the Galpes-

The correspondent of the Galres-
ton Ners, writing from Dallas,
August 18th, says: Sc,
The advance In rates of freight OIL
grain from Dallas to st. Louis, agreed
upon at 500 per car between the Hous.
ton and Texas Central and the Texas
Pacific railway companies, is regarded
by merchants here as sharp dodge on
the part of the former company, and
likely to result in diminished business
to the Texas and Pacific. Dealers here
have, by the low rate of $50 per car
load, been justified in bringing into
Dallas all their purchases ut depOts
above here for shipment from this
point, where there was competition be-
tween the two railroads. Now they
say all the grain received at those
points will necessarily go by the Texas
Central direct, leaving competition
solely to this point, and eliminating
the low rates which had tended to in
duce shipments to st. Louis, which
will now, especially from points south,
tend towards Galveston. The general
idea here is that Galveston has lost the
grain trade of this season, but the
bulk of the wheat has not yet been
shipped,
