THE MARROW G1UGE A DUTY.

In consequence of high prices asked for
lands 10 the northern grain growing coun-
ties, the immigration now pouring into
Texas, across Red River, is going further
west. Thousands of active and energetic
people from the old States are settling in
the counties of Comanche, Eastland, Brown
and Coleman, and they are extending their
settlements into the counties south from
these. 1t is a matter of question whether
there is any finer farming section in the
State than is to be met with in this portion
of the State, and it becomes a matter of in
finite propriety, and even necessity, that
Austin adopt means for commanding the
vast and growing trade OF this section. The
crops of wheat grown in Brown, Comanche,
Eastland and adjoining counties have
shown that the yield of grain is some day
to be immense. The rapid settlement OF
these counties is absolutely startling, and
but q few years hence they will place
enough wheat in market to move half
a dozen mammoth mills. And why will
not the people of Austin, who are
vitality interested in these questions, seize
upon the opportunity now presented of
placing their city beyond future injury from
rival interests? Should the International
come to within twenty-five miles of this
city, it is probable that IN six months the
profits of our c;ty's trade would be dam
aged to the extent of one hundred thou
sand dollars, while this sum, placed in the
construction of narrow gauge railway
from here towards Lampasas would abso-
lutely secure Austin from the probability
of damage, and place it on the highway to
greater and greater prosperity. And whe
are the people interested that should put
their shoulders to the " heel in the move
ment of this enterprise7 They are not the
business men alone but- the real nsI~to
owners, who have property enhanced and
who get by the improvement of our com
munity enormous rents for their buildings.
If the latter will only be as liberal as the
former all clouds that may hang about the
horizon of Austin's future will be immedi-
ately dispelled. There are dozen real
estate owners alone In this city, whose names
we feel like mentioning, who could, if they
would, build the narrow gauge road from
Austin to Lampasas. . l B

banner of Democracy. The party nTganiza-
ton as It exists at the South has often given
dissatisfaction % the rank and file of con-
servatism, and simply for the reason that
names are things, and leading Democrats,
inside the party, have been its leaders to
the exclusion, as was alleged, of Wings and
Douglas Democrats, these coufessing de-
gree OF modesty when they must lead
a party with which they have from habit
little sympathy. and whose leaders they
had fought through lifetime. These are
patent facts, but the Herald anticipates too
eagerly the proposed segregation of Wings
and Douglas men, who became rebels.
There is still enough external pressure be-
gotten of Radicalism, in all its sbhorrent
shapes in the South, to prevent the disin-
tegration of the present Democratic party
and the solid vote of the South, except that
of South Carolina, will be given to the
nominee of the Democratic National Con-
vention. The Herald concludes its article
with the assertion that the Democratic
party most needs the elimination of its
Wing and Douglas elements; and its re-
sumption of pure democratic principles.
Then the Herald believes the country will
accept it, because the mass of the Ameri-
can people believe in that Interpretation of
the Constitution which limits the powers of
the Federal government, encourages local
responsibility and self-government, and thus
secures economy, efficiency, prosperity and
peace.

BELKNAP'S FALL AND GRANT,
RESIGNATION OF THE PREsIDRN.


The post of honor is at last the private
station. 1t is an age of vice and corrup-
tion, and decent people, reared by honest
parents and in the midst of honest country
homes, contemplate the vices of the times
with horror and dismay. It comes to this
at last, that the tenure of Federal Office
is even deemed discreditablc. q The Federal
place-holder and common thief are convert
IDLE terms, honest men IN high places hang
their heads in shame, and Congressmen
and Others representing the government of
Washington and Jefferson and jackson are
thus degraded; not by whisky thieves and
custom house vampires alone. but by one
ment of the United States. People hoped
that Babcock was properly acquitted, and
congratulated themselves that their country,
was spared the foul shame incident to the
conviction of such place-holder of prac-
tiCes so pitiably base; but now that the, Sec
retary of War has fallen, the suspicion of
Babcock's guilt is reproduced, and every
where gentlemen, meeting upon the streets,
are accustomed to say that decency and
honesty have lost caste and that purity and
truth, as happened when Roman republi-
canism lapsed into Roman imperialism, have
fed from office and power. 1t is
therefore true, to greater extent than we
may be willing to confess, that the best
men of the country are repelled rather than
attracted 10y the sheen of official position,
and for the first time it is admitted, with
an earnestness and unanimity never known
before, that the post of honor is the private
station. If Grant were accessible to a
proper sense of honor, and comprehended
what is due to himself and the position he
occupies, he, too, in view of the resulting
disgrace attaching to himself because of
the misdeeds and crimes of Belknap, Bah
cock, Shepherd and of many like them,
would follow Belknap's example, and, de-
manding a thorough investigation of his
acts, especially IN connection with the &C
ceptsnce of houses, lots and other gifts, re-
sign the Office he holds. The next dis
patches from Washington, such is the pai-
pable propriety of this course, may an
nounce the resignation Of the President and
the conversion of the Senate and House
into committees of the whole on the de-
plorable state of the country because Of
the universally Of dishonesty and knavery
in Federal offices. - ~ ~ -, bs1g,

1t might be well for some Texan statisti-
clan to ascertain the amount of the cotton
tax due the people of the State. 1t hap
pens that Southern State bonds, are all held
in the East, and while the South was law
lessly robbed of sixty millions by the cot
ton tax, the generous North will never as
sent to direct restitution. But if SO paid
that it pays toll to New York and Boston,
as must one southern(D Pacific road, then
the East. viii approve a settlement. The
East holds these Southern State bonds.
Schemes have-been- proposed for returning
it, at least indirectly One is to create out
of the proceeds q school fund in each of
the cotton States. Another il, to apply it
to the repairing Of the Mississippi levees.
The third is, 70 pay of the State debts.
This last would probably be the best dispo-
sition to make Of the money, since it goes
East, were there any guaranty Of its honest
application to the end in view. But we re-
specially protest against the creation of
any more State financial boards- The
Uni0n- Herald puts the smount due to South
Carolina at $4,172, $40, which would go q
long way towards lifung the State credit
ont OF the mire. Bat viii somebody tell
us what share Of the debt would fall into
the treasury Of Texasl There would be
quite enough, We believe, 70 extinguish the
whole bonded debt OF the State.

CENTRAL T&XAS AND Ell PASO

Hamilton provides that whenever Moses

and others, of Texas, or their successors,
shall be created body polite under the
style of the Central Texas and Ell Paso
Railroad Company, or become owners of
an existing charter, they shall be authorized
to build and maintain a railroad from the
western terminus of any railroad now COM
pleted IN Texas, at San Antonio, Austin or
Waco, to Ell Paso; and bridge the Rio
Grande at any point within twenty-five
miles of that place. The bill also provides
that if by that time no California company
has built road to a point within one hum
dred miles of the Rio Grande, the above
named parties shall be empowered to build
westward to meet the California road, and
enjoy the Texas and racifc Company's
land grant for that portion of the line.
But if the California company reaches the
Rio Grande before these parties have con-
structed their road to point one hundred
and fifty miles east of that river, the Cali
fornia company is to cross it and build east
ward on the Texas and Pacific land grant
to junction with the road from Fort Worth,
Austin, Waco and San Antonio. There is
little probability that any charter of any
trans-continental road will be enacted at
this session of Congress. Politicians are
sharp fellows and Congress is constituted
of these. Each political party would have
the least possible quantity OF dead weight

ing that which provides for the extension

while Huatington's road will progress
steadily in this direction, and when Con-
gress meets next December, the people will
have learned that the trans-continental
highway which costs them least is thai
which alone accomplishes the purposes Of
the South, and Tom Scott's demand for Q
subvention will be heard Of no more.

WHICH Is BEST


The International Railroad Company,
through its agents, is feeling the public
pulse in regard to loan from the people
of this place to secure the completion of
the International, at an early day, to this
city II we remember rightly, its charter
requires il to be here inside the next eigh-
teen months, and in the meantime, if the
people of Austin have money TO invest in a
railroad enterprise, it becomes question
whether it be best to put it into the Inter
national or the proposed narrow gauge
to Lsmpssas. 1t will take $3.50, 600
or 5000, 900 to move. the International,
and 800, 900 viii put the narrow gauge on
the way to an early completion. The In
ternational, it is said, must come and it is
seeming necessity to the preservation of
the interests of Austin. that an effective line
of communication with the country up the
Colorado be brought about. A mar
row gauge railway will cost but little more
than good system of macadamized wagon
roads and will establish Austin as the per
manent center of trade for the counties of
Williamson, Burnet, Llano, Lampssas,
Brown, Coryeli, San Saba, Mason, Hamil-
ton, Comanche and all that part of the
State, which is soon to become the greatest
grain growing country in Texas. Which
is the best, therefore, to put money in the
international, or have the narrow gauge
with the great Touring mills and other
manufacturing enterprises which will the~e-
by be created IN this eityi --
