The Damage in Texas.

From the Houston Telegraph some addi-
tional particulars are gathered relative TO
the damage in that city.
The Galveston railroad is in good condi-
tion to Clear Creek. There are five or six
breaks in the bridge across the bay, one of
$50 feet. A number of schooners are ashore
out on the prairie, including one Of Nor
gans dredges.
The Bayou City is scene of devastation.
Thousands of trees are uprooted, and the
streets are covered with fragments Of roof
ing, etc. A sewer broke and now renders
the street impaseable. Seven churches, all
the halls and the depot are more or less in
jured. OF fifteen cases where damages are
O. timated the loss is $4,000, and twenty
cases of destruction and nearly sixty of
greater or less injury are reported where
the amount lost can not be given. A few
miserable tenements on Vinegar Hill are
unlnjured. Two thousand bales of cotton
were carried off with the Houston Com
press. The new compress will probably be
total loss. The IelegraPh sums up as fol
lows.
At a late hour yesterday afternoon we
viewed the city from the lookout of the
Hutchins, aud in every direction, as far as
the eye could reach, evidences Of the fear
full and awful destruction of the never to
be forgotten blow of 1875 met our gaze.
The waters of the two bayous Look like
raging rivers, as they tear through the for
ests above and below the city The scene
Is surely terrible one to contemplate, and
it is only in the beautiful, calm sunlight of
yesterday that we can realize the try ing Or
deal through which we have passed, and it
is meet and proper, and our bounden duty,
that on this, the Lords day, our thanks
eheuld go up to God that the result is no
unrsn
1t is impossible to correctly estimate the
loss sustained in the city at this writing,
but from careful observation, and what we
have otherwise learned. we can safely pre-.
tlict it will be over 81 600, 900.

NEW ORLEANS, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25 1875

Nothing whatever prevents it, and many
sincerely believe that with proper system
OF equilibrating the supply aud demand
for currency, paper would be infinitely Sd,
perior to metal Tor all the business of pro-
ductitn, exchange and consumption of the
country.
Now let it be supposed that such a course
may be adopted, the coinage to cease, and
paper alone to be issued, with repeal of
all legal tender laws, both for the metals
and for the paper, what would be the coz
sequencea All constitutional objections, well
or Ill founded, would vanish, and the paper
would circulate just as well as national
bank notes circulate now, as founded on the
