If this Legislature fail to execute the
States contract with the international Com
pany, It will be said that Texan law-givers
are guilty Of treason to the best interests Of
the South and Of Texas. II Tom Scott's
road be built, the northern branch to St.
Louis leaves /. far west Of the point Of
divergence OF the Southern branch, and
thus St. Louis and Philadelphia are pre-
ferred to Austin, to Galveston, and even to
New Orleans. The northern and southern
branches, as q matter of justice, especially
to Texas, that endows the road so muni6-
Gently, should diverge at the same point.
But the union exists that the East may be
enriched and the South plundered, and,
therefore, We must take care Of ourselves.
While we earnestly hope that Tom Scott
may secure oil he asks and speedily build
the great railway Of which our statesmen
and heroes have long dreamed as the great
est boon that could ever bless Texas, it is none
the less true that our absolute security and
commercial Independence, and honor at
home and abroad, depend upon the con-
struction Of the International road.

The announcement has been public
ly made that the Government will not
sell gold during the coming month,
and that it will resume the practice
only when it is necessary to replenish
the currency supply. Many reasons
are urged why the Secretary should
have adopted different, course, and
some of them are not without a weight.
The weakest of these reasons is that
more than once urged by the New
York Bulletin, and now repeated by ii
that if the Government boards coin
"the market will he absolutely drain.
ed Of gold. and will be constantly al
the utter mercy of speculation. A
sufficient answer TO this Is that it is q
part of the business of the Governmen,
to protect the gold market or to inter.
fere with it at all. The market has
been IN the habit of relying upon the
Secretary to come to its aid, but il is
very evident that in the preparation
for resumption the Treasury must n oil
be embarrassed by the assumption O,
any such duty. The market cad look

ONE or tbs pUEL1sTs WANTS TO FIGHT
TIE EDITOR OF THE "rIMFs."
In the Philadelphia Times, yester-
day, appeared the following card from
Baylor, one of the participants in the
recent duel near Edgemoor:
To the Editor Of The Times.
My attention has Just been called To
an editorial in Tie Times in regard to
the affair Of honor which occurred AT
Edgemoor on the afternoon OF the 29th.
The author of the article has presumed
upon his position, and if he feels dis
posed to show his spunk, he Will find
that either Of the principals aic Will
ing and ready to met him at any
time he may appoint. There is
reason and justice i'll everything, ana
there is Il point beyond which pu-
ticDce Is not expected to bear.
Il. W. BAYLOR
Editorially the Times disposes OF
Baylor IN the following caustic man
ner:
eve give the belligerent Baylor Il
hearing in our columns to day, to heal
his wounded heroism. A newspaper
card is the cheapest possible way of
making repairs In that line, and we
couldn't think of denying him the
luxury of it. The editor of THE
TIMES, from the lingering effects of
an early and perhaps doubtful educa-
tion, would have to reflect some con
siderable time before deciding to
amuse himself by wasting powder and
ball banging at fellows who make
more work for reporters than for SEX
tons. 1t may probably require thirty
or forty years or so to enable him to
reach conclusion on the subject, but
when he does decide the matter, our
powder hungered friend will be prompt
ly notified, if his whereabouts can be
ascertained. If, in the meantime, his
patience will not bear up under the
delay, he may find temporary employ
ment in discussing his late affair of
honor" with Delaware court and
jury, where the lash or the pilloIy
might serve to chill his insatiate thirst
for human gore. There is" as he
says, reason and justice in all things"
and he may yet demonstrate that the
cat-o'-nine tails have been abolished
too soon In the more progressive Com
monwealths.

Sad Result OF q Drunken E'r0Itc

A Young Girl Fatally Frozen.
HARRisBCRG, Dec. Last evening
Victoria Carl, young girl of hand
some appearance, only eighteen years
of age, was brought 10 her parents, In
this city, with her legs so badly frozen
that they will have to be amputated
unless death should render the opera
tion unnecessary. She was also severely
frost bitten in other portions of the
body. She took drive with a married
man residing in this city, and both had
been drinking before they set out on
their journey. A few miles below
Harrisburg the horse sprang or backed
into the canal and was drowned. The
water was about six feet deep, and the
man and woman narInwly y escaped the
fate of the animal. They reached the
shore and after the most determined
excrtions. Miss Carl was in very ex.
hsusted condition and found it Impos-
sible to walk any considerable distance
| Her companion was less affected by
the liquor he had taken and by his
bath, and walked TO a farm house in
neighborhood for protection from
the cold leaving the woman'exposed to
the biting cold all night. He informed
no one of her situation, and yesterday
morning she was found, almost frozen
to death. The victim of the mans
brutality is woman of the town. The
prospects are that she will die from her
injuries.

issue OF Bonds to Buy Specie

The Cincinnati Commercial proposes
mother issue of L. S. bonds and that
they shall be sold in Europe for gold, to
be used in redeeming part!of the $780,
00,o0o of legal tenders. which shall be
cancelled. 1t says
We have seen 40 calculations OF the
cost of the use OF Il deprecated currency
nor Of that of resumption. and i is ox-
cusable to make AN effort To ascertain
both. We estimate the cost each year OF
"a tluctuat!ng medium at 81, 500 600, on
the basis OF per cent. rise or fall daily
or $50, 600 900 of transactions each day,
which, per cent. amounts to SIS, 900 per
Gay, or the already stated total in year
We estimate the cost of resumption TO
he S5,0D,00O, 4 year, on the basis that
not more than 500, 100000 OF gold need,
IN the very worst contingency, be bor-
1owed.
We must add, however, that We know
that the fluctuations are greater than /
per cent; that S75,000 daily cost is too
low. So also, are we certain that il re-
9uires merely an arrangement for for
eign credit OF $50, ,0O0, 900, with a stipula-
ton to pay interest on What is used, such
as all our bankers have with their cor d.
respondents. We admit that We do not
know how much of such credit would
have to be used. but believe that, with
the gold We have, not over $40, ,000, 900
would be long necessary. 1t depends
chiefly on the financial and fiscal capa ci
ty OF the Administration that shall have
the matter in charge, but also on t. q
tone of the public mind, for demagogism
is most costly luxury. All We can say
is, and we say it after careful reflection,
the expense for this credit sL O aid not ex
oeed interest on SIS, ,000, 900 Tor the first
six months, say $750. 600, and not 20 ex.
coed interest on $4,000, 900 after that
and then only for a year This estimate
rests on such financial management as
precludes deficits in the United States
Treasury; it includes an annual moder.
ate purchase of United States bonds for
cancellation. A factious opposition in
either House can do much toward il.
but with a Hamilton, a Woodbury., a
Dix or Wells in the Treasury, it cosld
not be entirely defeated. The Enouirey
folks and some Of their benighted read
ers will exclaim: What bind ourselves
