The following paragraph from Mr..
1ngslls's speech in the s mate is almost
a reproduction of what has been said
again and again In these pages: HE
believes an alliance between the West
and South inevitable; that their inter-
ests are mutual and identical. With
the removal of the causes of political
dIssension that have so long separated
them, they must coalesce, and united
they will be invincible. The Valleys
of the Mississippi and Missouri, with
their tributaries, form an empire that
must have homogeneous population
and common destiny from the Vel
lowstone to the Gulf. These great
communities have been alienated by
factions that have estraDged them only
to prey upon them and to maintain pO-
litical supremacy by their separation.
Unfrieldly legislation has imposed in
tolerable burdens upon their energies
Invidious determinations have been
made against their products; unjust
5ariffs have repressed their industries.
While vast appropriations have been
made to protect the harbors of the At
lantic, and to erect beacons upon every
frowning hesdlsnd to warn the mari
DER with silent admonition from the
merchant marriDg rocks" the Missis-
sippi was left choked with its drifting
sands till the daring genius OF Eads
undertook the gIgannc LABOR of CON-
polling the great stream to- dredge Its
own channel to the sea. The opening
of this avenue of commerce marks the
epoch of the emancipation of the West
and S uth from their bondage to the
capital of the E ,st, and in asking the
passage Of this bill they are asking less
Than they will ever ask again. When
l +, fleet upon what they have borne,
the wrongs they have suffered, am
astonished at their moderation"

The Downs G-augers ar,

The Downs G -aDgers are supposed
to be very hostile to railways, but this
prejudice will be Modified when we
state that the Texas Pacific alone pays
annually sos. 600 into the State Treas
ury as taxes, and has doubled four
fold the value of district of country
four hundred and forty miles long and
twenty-five miles in width. This is
not alone the case with this road, but
the Texas Central and other roads pay
corresponding sums in taxation, and
have relatively increased the value of
property and products along their lines
until the State has gained vastly by their
construction. II the cost of the State
government be not increased and rail-
ways multiplied and extended the rate
of taxation will soon be lessened one
half. Ignorance is the basis of preju-
dice against railway builders.

is just now agitatlng Milan. It ap-
pears that Patti had promised Maurice
Strakosch to enter into an engagement
with him for next year, but that when
the contract was presented to her for
her signature she refused to give it.
Strakosch, either rightly or wrongly,
attributed to the il fiuence of Nicolini
this change of purpose on the part of
the little diva, and taxed him with it
IN her presence at the Hotel Cavour.
A violent alteration took place be-
tween the two men, followed by q
scuffie. Mime. Patti endeavored to
sepsra them, aud in the melee re-
ceived a severe blow on the arm from
cane. This. put an end to the affair

the Legislators of the infant State. The
press of his does not mention his rec
ord in regard to secession, and it is
probable, therefore, that he merely &C.
quiesced in it. Mr.. Rains was, it :hus

On the twenty-sixth of April, at LIB
erty, Texas, Franklin Hardin died,
aged IL. He served In and around Be-
xar in 1885. 10 the spring of 1886, he
was elected first lieutenant of Capt. W.
NJ. Logsn's company, Shermsn's Regi-
ment, and did gallant service on the
field of San Jacinto. shortly after which
he returned to his home in Liberty
county. In response to proclamation
of President Burnet to the Texans,
fine company of men, and early in July
reported to- Gen. Rusk at Victoria, on
the Guadalupe river, and was assigned
to Col. Sherman's - afterwards Mon
heusis's - First Regiment Volunteer
Army of Texas, snd remained with his
company in service until the four
teenth of October, 1886, when nearly
all the companies of the old Texas vol
unteers were permitted to return to
their homes, leaving the field to the
more recent volunteers from the States.
Capt. Hardin, before the Texas revolu
ton, was surveyor in Vuhlen's col
ony, and subst quently surveyor of
Liberty land district. He was q gen.
tlemau of fine intelligence and true
patriot. These personal and historical

HARBoR APPROPRIATIONS.

Judge Reagan's bill which, he has
reported as Chairman Of the Commit
tee on Commerce, appropriates for the
improvement of the ship channel IN
Galveston Bay, between Boliver Chan
mel and Red Fish Bar, $40, 200. Be
sides this the appropriation made for
his work by the act of the fourteenth
of August, 1876, is made available for
the same part of this channel. For i'm
proving the entrance to Galveston Har-
Dor, $1s5 600. For improving Sabine
Pass and deepening the channel at the
entrance and at Blue Buck Bar, $780,
900. For improving PAsso Cavallo In
let into Matagorda Bay, $a5, 900.
For the improvement of the narrows
above Orange, on Sabine river, and
deepening the channel at the mouth Of
the same river, $40, 900. For deepen
ing the channel at the mouth Of Trim
ity river. and removing distractions to
Liberty, $40, 900. For deepening the
channel At the mouth of the Neches
river. and removing distractions to
Beaumont, $1,000. 1t Is provided in
the bill, that the bar at the mouth OF
the Brszos shall be examined and re-
ported on as to its capacity and adAp-
liability as harbor of refuge and as q
naval station; and that work is to be
done At this point upon = contract
awarded to the lowest bidder.
The average Of appropriations to the
States is $751;, 900, while Texas comes
in for $sss, 900 in named sums, with
the revival Of an old appropriation, and
the work at the mouth OF the Brazos,
probably $3.50. 900 in all, which shows
that Judge Reagan has worked ven
well for Texas.
