vice. As yet it is stated the returns from
this source do not fully meet the expense
and the interest on the capital invested :;
but is every day becoming more and more
manifest that these expenses are more than
compensated by the national advantages.
1t is proposed that while the Government
should increase telegraph facilities to all
parts OF the country, that all the popula-
tion may reap the advantages of such ex-
tension, that certain reforms be introduced
into the system, looking forward to making
this service remuneratiye. These are-a
revision OF charges for ordinary kilograms,
in which reduction in the minimum of
words will be combined with recognition
of cost for free address, delivery and sta.
tionary, the scale to be adopted ninepence
for ten words, and threepence for each
live words additional or, sixpence for
each message, and halfpenny for each
word in excess of signature and address;
that free name and address be still given;
that signatures TO kilograms be required !;
that system of cheaper kilograms to he
delivered by post be adopted, together with
telegraph money order system. So far
the present system has worked we'll, and is
very popular, and it's effects on business

Farmers are now in doubt whether to
take twenty cents for their corn, says
the Iowa Register, direct from tile field, or
rely upon getting thirty cents next spring
After corn is dry enough for cribbage, it
will shrink about one-fflh by next Nav.
Unless well protected from the vermin
they will destroy from five to ten per cent.
The interest of the money from the sales
in The is Il would be FIVE per cent in shrink
age, depreciation, &c. The shrinkage on
wheat IL about seven per cent. and the dep
relation OF vermin three per cent, interest
five, making altogether fifteen per cent, so
that eighty-five cents is better now than
one dollar next June. The shrinkage on
potatoes is light, but the loss by frost and
rot are heavy, and it is better to accept
80 per cent. leos in the fall than in the
spring. This is not all. In many cases,
while the corn and wheat are shrinking
and dwindling by inroads of mice or rats,
the owners financial and moral character
is suffering worse by not meeting his obIi-
cations. 1t is sometimes beat to hold
for better prices, but no plea of expediency
is sufficient to induce man to violate his
or to fail to meet his matured
obligations.

Another of tho Bass Gang Bagged

A Sherman special to the
Meas gives the following partic-
ulars of the capture of Henry
Collins, one of the Bass gang.
Deputy Sheriff Haley received
secret information that Collins
was at the house of his cousin,
Joel Collins, ten miles east of
Howe station. A posse was at
once organized, they proceeded,
to the Collins place arriving
half an hour after sun rise, the
party approaching through a
corn field, on horseback; when
within 80 yards of the house
young Collins caught sight of
them and rushed out of the op-
posite side of the house making
for the brush and firing as he
went. A shot from him woun-
ded one of the horses. Sever
al shots were fired at him one
hitting him in the calf of the
leg and breaking both bones.
AS he fell his pistol flew sever
feet from him. He was taken
to Howe station and thence to
Sherman where he was placed
in Jail and his leg amputated
below the knee. Heis describ-
ed as a rnild-mannered good
looking yong chap about 10
years Of age. He denies any
completely with Bass and says
he was only slightly acquain-
ted with him. He was getting
ready to jump the State when
taken. He was given away"
by a young man with whom he
became acquainted out west.

The Denton Monte, remarks

The Denton Monte, remarks
that many people arc becoming
disguised with conventions on
account of the frequency with
which of late years they fail to
obey the instructions ofthe peo-
pie or represent their will. The
Austin convention was fraud.
1t says when the convention
was at a dead lock-" Hubbard,
Lang and Throckmorton should
have been put before the poo
pie.
These men are all Democrats
and each has many friends; the
consequence would have been
a split in the party and the cleo
ton of a Radical or Greenback
candidate, as the entire opposi-
ton to the Democracy would
have concentrated.

The Galveston Meacs publish
es the report of Messrs. Finlay
and Street, to whom the county
judge submitted the proposed
contract for the Santa Fe road.
According to the report of these
gentlemen there is nothing
whatever in the proposition.
In our opinion there is some
thing wrong. as Il man OF Mr..
Kopperl's well known and fin
ancial ability would hardly have
devoted SO many months to so
fruitles an agreement. t would
be well to await the action of
the stockholders meeting on the
18th of September before pass

THE Galveston Ne7as says
interviews with / majority Of
the county commissioners shows
that they favor the ratification
of the Santa Fe contract. Pub
lie sentiment as far as manifes-
ted is also in favor of ratification.
The proporsition is simply ratify
or no road. The contract may
be a hard one, but it is the best
that can be done now.

ACCORDING to a local in the
Galveston Meas, it appears to
be likely that the contract for
negotiating the G., c. and S. +.
bonds will not be ratified. Judge
Williams, of the Galveston
county court, has carefully re-
viewed the contract and also
submitted it to Geo. P. Finlay
and r. G. Street, attorneys, who
have made careful analysis of
the contract. The conclusion
of these gentlemen is against
ratification. The stockholders
meeting will be held on the 18th
of September. What the result
will be is, of course, involved in
mystery.
