The passage of the ordinance by
the Convention, on Saturday, eY-
tending the time Of railroads is sig
nifcant. While other projected
roads, and those partially complet-
ed, are benefited by this measure;
yet it is well understood that the
Texas Il Pacific is to be the chief
beneficiary of this extraordinary lib
erahty of the Convention. The fabu.
lous grant of lands which ,she had
forfeited, but which are by this act
restored to her,is indeed princely
endowment for a road of even its
grand stretch and importance. The
News bitterly opposes it on the
ground that combination is emi-
nent with the Atlantic and Pacific
thus carrying the road further
North, and practically ignoring
Texas, in any of the contemplated
benefits, of its construction, and for
which the immense land grant was
made. We think Texas will be sad
ly remiss il she neglects to make {
Texas seaport terminus, condi
tion precedent to the perfection oi
titles of the Texas and Pacific rail
road, to the lands contemplated il
her scharter, and which compris,
nearly every valuable acre of he
public domain remaining to her.

The wheat crop of Texas, as al
ready planted, comprises much
larger area than was ever before de.
voted to this cereal in Texas, and
Notwithstanding the drouth which
has prevailed extensively through
out the wheat region of Texas, since
the planting season commenced, the
crop is looking remarkably well.
The intrinsic value of last seasons
crop to Texas, is almost beyond es-
innate, and will constitute power
ful incentive to the future wheat
effort of our farmers. In a country
like Texas, where cotton, sugar,
wheat, corn, rye, oats, barley, the
grasses, potatoes, and all kinds of
vegetables, grow in profusion, all
that Is required to render our farm
ing population:not only independent,
merely, but the richest on earth, is
to obsertea proper crop diversified
tion. We are glad to see great
newspapers like the Telegraph
urging this important consideration
upon the farmers, for important it
is beyond conception.

THE. RIO GRANDE TROUBLES, COM.

Capt Randlett, Of the L. s. Army found
trail of $50 stolen cattle near Los Cuevas
He followed TO the Rio Grande and saw the
herd crossing, This was on the 18th.
The troops In that region are concentra-
ting'a Los Cuevas.
Capt. McNelley, of the State troops
crossed and had fight, killing four Mexi
cans, and one officer OF the regular army.
AT daylight on the 10th 400 Mexicans were
seen In line of battle.

Gen. Potter, commanding at Brownsville,

The Mexican authorities all along the Rio

is considered very grave,
A later dispatch fully confirmed the report
of McNelley's fight, but the Mexican Con-
sui at Brownsville says the Mexican officer
killed, was commander of the Custom
House Guard, and not an officer OF the
regular army, as first reported

A TIGHT PLACE
The Galveston News Rio Grande specials
Of Saturday were very conflicting. The
morning dispatches had McNelly surround
ed and treating for surrender, but those
received later report a successful retreat to
this side of the Rio Grande. 1t seems that
forty L. s. regulars went to his assistance,
and one dispatch says they were ordered
back without being able to relieve him; an
other states that they fought brayely by his
side.
Offers were made the Governor OF assis-
tance. but McNelley's safe return does away
with the necessity of its acceptance. We
give the news summary of the whole mat
ter as the dispatches are too lengthy to
warrant their reproduction, at this late
hour.
The affair may be summed up as follows:
The United States Cavalry caught Mexican
cattle thieves crossing stolen cattle. A de
mand was made by the L 5 officer on the
Mexican authorities to deliver up the cattle
and the thieves. Which was not done.
The L S troops being ordered not to cross
remained on this side, while McNelley, with
State troops crossed over and attempted to
recapture the cattle. The Mexicans having
had time, drove McNelley before them. Forty
men of the sth Cavalry crossed over con
trary to orders, and fought the MeNicans
with McNelley's men, until they were
compelled, by overwhelming numbers, to
fall back TO this side. Four Mexicans were
killed. Ii is not improbable that the Mexi
cans will cross over. The cattle have not
been recovered. Las Cuevas is the head
quarters Of Cortina's thieves.

WILL 1T ALL END IN SMOKE,

The kilograms from the Rio
for the last few days have
been of an exceedingly interesting |
and the decidedly bellig-
erent attitude Of both the State and
Federal forces, would seem to be
indicative both of the imminent
character of the chance for a bout
with Mexico, and the desire for
such result.
We know not If the stealing of a
few cattle and the killing of a few
defenseless citizens along an ex-
posed border, be sufficient cause for
a war between the nations, but of
one thing we feel perfectly certain,
and that is, the lives and property
of the citizens of the United States
and Texas should be protected at
all hazards, for this is the side of
the obligation opposite to the one
in which the citizen is supposed to
risk his life, and pay his taxes. Let
the opportunities be favorable, or
the reverse, for the chief of this or
that political party. 1nterests,such
as are represented along the Rio
Grande, can not wait the time when
Grants political policy makes it
safe for him to make war. Neither
can it 'be STAYED off, because it is
now palpably his very best policy
to seize any pretext to involve the
United States IN a safe war with
some one or other of the weaker
and nearer neighbors. The political
skies, in national sense, are
sadly overcast, and there is no poll
tician sufficiently gifted with pro.
phecy to be able to predict, with
any show of reason, the chances of
any man, or either party, in the
race for the Presidency next year
1t is plain that brief, brilliant and
victorious campaign, either in Mex
leo or Cuba, would add lustre
and prestige to Grants already bril-
liant military record. The Ameri-
can people are hardy, adventurous,
and exceedingly military in all their
tastes and habits, and hence the dis
position they have ever shown to
place successful military chieftains
in the very highest places in govern
ment. To this fact alone does
Grant owe his elevation in the first
instance, and The brilliancy of his
military achievements had not paled
sufficiently at the close of his first
term, to make it possible for any
one to defeat him. Since his re
election, however, the stern logic of
truth, has developed the fact, that
something else is required in the
civic head of a great nation like ours
than mere military skill, and the
prestige of high military achieve
ments. Grant understands this
well, and he also understands what
is necessary to restore the suprem-
acy of military ideas, in popular
contest before the people.
Here, then, on the Rio Grande,
has fate again presented to her fa-
vorite the chance which his ambi-
ton covets. Will he clutch it?
This SIMPLE question is grave one
for the two contiguous republics.
Texas, in the event of n war,
would reap a rich, golden harvest.
Is she willing to pay the price
Grants election to the third term
for it? for to all human judgment
this is to be the result of a fight
with Mexico at this time. And
these matters have n graver signiti-
cance for Texas, than for any other
of the States, and upon the temper
and tone of press and people,
greatly depends the issues of peace
or war.

Capt. McNelley, it seems, is a bad
commander to place at the head OF
body of troops, unless fighting is
intended. He goes right in, when
the chance opens, and makes expla-
nations only after it closes. These
are high, soldierly qualities, and if
fate smiles, will add lustre to his
name, and amply vindicate the wis
dom of his appointment.
