HO for Texas.

General J. B. Robertson, general passen-
ger tnd immigration agent of the Houston
and Texas Central Railroad, arrived in this
city day or two ago to confer with certain
gentlemen with whom he has been in cor
respondence regarding immigration to Tex
as. Previous to the adoption of the new
Constitution of that State, which went in
to effect in April, 1876, General Robertson
was superintendent of the Texas Bureau Of
immigration. In conversation with q
TIMES reporter on Sunday, he said: The
Constitutional Convention was called at the
time when "retrenchment" was the cry all
over the country. The bureau was expen
ding from $15,000to $4,000 annually in
correspondence and distributing circulars,
pamphlets, maps, etc. Immigrants where
coming into the State so rapidly that the
convention decided to abolish the bureau,
but in doing so a resolution was passed In
| viting immigration fl ON all countries. AS
was familiar with the subject of immigra-
ton, the Houston and Texas Central Rail-
road rendered me the position which l now
hold. When they did so I told them that,
ifthey wished me to go North to misrepre-
sent Texas for the purpose of getting them
few passengers, their railroad might go
to the devil. / am not here for any such
purpose. l wish to see the almost bound
less resources of our State developed, but l
wish to deceive no one. We have homes
for every one of the four millions of idle
persons now said to be in the United States
| Texas contains over two hundred and thir.
seven thousand square miles, but from those
figures persons cannot realize its extent
1t is larger than New York, Pennsylvania
Ohio, Virginia and North Carolina put to
} togather. 1t is the largest cotton produ
cling State in the Union; in 1870 we raised
four hundred thousand bales: this year W,
will send nine hundred thousand bales tc
market.
FLoCKING THERE FOR HOMES.
The census of 1870 sh owed our popula
tion to be s12, 900, now it is 100000; thi
estimate is based on the vote polled at th
last general election. Last year our popu
lation increased 100000. 1 speak by tn
: ard. l had the number of immigrant
sent to me from every railroad entering tn
State, from every steamship and sailing vel
sci landing in OH harbors, and from ever
; ferry on the Red river. Besides thes
! thousands who came to stay came as fir
d class passengers, and I got no record {
d them. While the assessed valuation {
n property in Pennsylvania has fallen off
IS bout $40, ,OOo, 900 in the last year, in Texa
y it has. increased $35, 100000. We hav

: stantlv-increasing school fund invested i
d United States and State bonds, which yield
., an annual income of $2,5OO,OoO. And ye

nue. Congregational church, Brooklyn,
Rev. DR.. Buddington, pastor, has refused
by vote Of l55 to GO TO accept the invi-
tstion of the Thompkins Avenue church
to a council, the ground of the refusal
being that Plymouth church, Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher, pastor, had been invited.
The debate was marked by much feeling.
DR.. Brsddington said that unless the
contributors were convinced the Gtho-
dox faith was to be kept up they would
cease to give. He did not wonder that
the treasures were depleted, and that
wills had been changed.
