HE TEXAS AND PACIFIC sllI

T t7ui the TENOR III our dispatches o.
yesterday, il is manifest that North
Texas can look forward to the speedy
completion Of the Texas aud Pacific
railway with renewed confidence. SIei,
seems to be the attitude CT the bill At
present that nothing short of political
revolution viii defeat its ultimate pas
sage.
We can scarcely realize the moment
GUS Importance OF such measure to
this immediate section Of the State. It
means simply the introduction, as fast
as it Is possible to pay it out, of thirty
millions OF dollars into North Texas.
1t means employment for every laborer
in the land. and for all that can be sent
here. Il means good prices for mules
and horses and cattle and corn and
wheat, and beyond this. better prices
for our real estate, both in city and
country. Ii means an army of mopiesl
mon pouring into Texas to invest their
funds and reap the rewards that are in
store for the successful speeulator 1t
means a general revival of business, and
an impetus 10 trade never witnessed
before IN the State
/; means q prosperity and possible
future for Dallas chat It's residents
searee dream of to-day
TaE HEnn.D Is pleased 10 know that
this bill viii pass and the road will
speedily resume its construction, and
especially gratified that it, own earnest
and persistent exertions in behalf of the
great interoeeanie highway, have not
been entirely in vain. While the Gal
weston Neies and Austin Statesman have
either been coyertly OF opealy and bitterly
hostile to this great work, aad
haze upon all occasions evinced an IN
varying hostility TO the road, and incl
dentally to its supporters and advocates,
Tue Herald has ever urged the propri-
ETY. OF governmental assistance, to the
end that this mighty trans-eoutinental
highway might be completed. II has
never believed for moment that any
of the safeguards thrown around the
interests of Texas would be impaired or
aerogsted by the bill, or that Galveston,
as the great seaport Of the northwest,
would fail to receive the greatest bene-
FITS from the building of this road. The
mares nest that Senator Terrill was so
blatent about, and the suggestion urged
by him TINT bale of merchandise
would be carried from San Diego or
San Francisco to New York cheaper
than it could be laid down at Galveston
has been annihilated by the expfana.
ton Of Vice President Bond, as well as
by the very terms of the bill itself.
There can be, therefore, no occasion for
the further opposition of these two
journals.
1t is highly probable that tbs bill
will pass the Senate within the next
thirty days. and receive immediate ex.
eeutiVe sanction.
Ere the first Of March, therefore, we
look for all the prelinliaaries of this
important ronte to 90 fully arranged,
and steps taken to mapseu from Fort
Worth westward the great work in con.
temptation.

FREE LOVE.

Boston is establishing its title as the
huh of the universe in the matter of
free love business. Some few days since
Mary Florence Hull entered her fathers
room in company with Horace Johnson
and handed the old gentleman paper
which she desired him TO read. 1t
proved to be a business and conjugal
contract" and ran as follows
We, whose names are hereunto an
nexed, do, on the twenty.slxth day Of
December, IN the year one thousand
eight hundred aHd seventy-six in the
Christian Era. enter into q business ard
eenjugai contract; the firm to be knc Il
as Hull d johnson.
We regard ourselves as, IN every sense
OF the word, equal partners, under al
circumstance, a. il becomes such. We
promise that we viii not try any other
way than by advice or persuasion to
control the actions OF each other
Believing that neither Church nor
State have any business with our affairs,
We propose to live our own lives without
references to either, further than. If
necessary to give security 10 the Com
monwealth Of MasSachu. etts that our
children. should we be blessed with
offspring, shall be, at least, as well cared
for as majority of those born of legal
wedlock.
7 We further contract that when mutual
love shall no longer justify our coniugal
union, We shall part, giving the State as
little trouble in our parting as we have
in coming together.
The reading finished Mary and Horace
asked any onein the company who knew
any Just cause or impedient-or words
TO that efiect--to speak out then and
there. or forever hold their peace. If
the paper wasn't right, or if they were
not right, they wanted TO know IT, No
one offering any objection, they stepped
TO the table and signed the contract.
Mary and Horace are now keeping
house at 30 Hudssn street, and Mr.. Hull
says they are to all appearance enjoy
ing as much happiness as falls TO people
in this life"
Mrs. Hulfs father is the daughter Of
the very advanced radical who edits the
Boston Crue5ke and his hobby il the
abolition of all marriages and all divorce
laws leaving the citizen to make free
his or her domestic arrangements under
general law of contracts, and his
preaching of this new social gospel has
borne fruit in his own household, if
nowhere else.
