NJ The Democratic House
of Congress got up an appro-
priation bill that very materi-
ally reduces the expenlitu res
Of the government, but the Re-
publican Senate refuses to COL
cur. To urge the democrats TO
agree to the Senate's amend
ments keeping up the high ex-
penses, the President sent a mes
sage to the House saying that
if they did not pass the appro-
priation bill the wheels of gov
ernment would have to be stop
ped by the lst of July. Why
didn't he send a message to the
Senate and urge that body 10
agree to the House bill? Be-
cause the reduction Of cxpcn-
ditures might very materially
affect the political assessments
made every campaign on the
office-holders. 1t is high time
the expenditures of the govern
ment be reduced, and the House
should persist in its plan to re-
duce them.

~ The financial plank in the
Republican platform, upon which
Mr.. Hayes stands, to ask the
sufrages of the American People,
reads as follows:
"In the first act of Congress
signed by President Grant the ma
tional government assumed to re-
move any doubts of its purpose to
discharge all just obligations to the
public creditors, and solemnly
pledges its faith to make provis,
ions, at the earliest practicable mo.
ment, for the redemption of the
United States notes in coin. Com
nercial prosperity, public morals,
and national credit demand that
this promise be fulfilled by a con-
tinuous and steady progress to
specie payment"
This is hard money in the
strongest possible terms. That
resolution was dictated in Wall
Street. It means come down to
specie payment as soon as posi-
bic. 1t means hard times and
worse coming.

MoFFAT, Bell County, Texas,}
July LIST, 1876.
M. a. O. WGlEace-DEAR
FhIEND-I have been thinking
Tor several years that / would
write you Il short letter giving a
description of this part Of Tex
as, but have failed TO do so up
to this good time. If when
you read 1t you think it is worth
printing, you can do so. / left
your town six years ago last
January and landed here the
same month. / have been farm
ing ever since, and | have this
to say, that | think that VIC have
about the best farming country
in the State. 1t is true that
we have had some very dry
years, but it seems that no one
suffers for any thing to eat.
We have u mild climate and
good range for stock, though
the country is settling up very
fast with people from every
State and Territory; but most
ly from the Southern States.
We have as good society in this
neighborhOod as you in the old
States have. Sabbath Schools
and preaching nearly every
Sunday when the weather will
permit Of it, by the different
+ denominations common III this
country, such as Methodist,
Presbyterian, Baptist and Chris
tianl, or Cambelites, as they arc
called. We have the best crops
this year that ne have had since
1870. The wheat is being
threshed and turning out very
well. Corn is in full roasting
ear that was planted by the
middle Of March, and looks as
well as | ever saw it in any
county. [ have this to say ii
conclusion, that | am vel
pleased with the country, and
while | would not persuade
any one to come out here t.
live, still if there is any ono
that has made up his mind tc
como to this part Of Texas, J
have this to say, that [ dom
think that they could get a more
favorable time to come thar
this, for everything to eat il
plentiful and cheap, and grea
deal of land for sale and to rem
. all through this part Of The
country. [ will close for fea
that you may think that l an
too lengthy for the first, / an
las ever yours, SIIAs CLARK.
p. 81 have been taking
the OBSERVER five out Of III,
six years that l have been here
and it is a welcome visitor q
all times. I still expect to tax
it. 1t is like a letter from hom
