Tho Bolton journal, speaking
of the election OF q new board
OF directors of the e. c. and s.
F. Ry., and their subsequent Or
ganization, says: at is right
and proper tor all incorporated
bodies to hold meetings, pass
resolutions, appoint committees
and receive reports" The Jour
nal says Bolton wants a rail-
road and wants one very much {;
that the direct road to Calves,
ton is the best suited to the
wants Of the country, aid that
so soon as active work is COM
menced, and it is demonstrated
by action that the road will be
built, the people along the line
will contribute literally towards
its construction. The one thing
now wanted is work, not resolu-
tons ). if talking and writing
would build railroads, enough of
both has already been done to
build many hundred thousand
miles.

COL. SHAFTER'S OPINION.

Col. Shafter and Lieut.. Bulls
have gone to Washington to tes-
tify before the Congressional
Committee as to the condition of
affairs on tine border. Col. S.
was interviewed by correspon-
dent OF the Galveston Ne,cs at
San Antonio. Col. Skater said
that thousands upon thousands
OF head of stock had been stolen
and driven into Mexico within
the last few years. Where one
head of stock is recaptured. at
least twenty are not. The raid
ers are mostly Lipans, but there
are thieving Mexicans with
them. The Mexicans buy the
stock and also fit out the raiding
parties. These matters are noto-
rious. The raiders hardly ever
miss a full moon, and sometimes
there are several raiding parties
at once. The Colonel said he
had been stationed on the Rio
Grande ten years and during
that time has known only two
raids from Texas into Mexico,
and then the raiders were Mexi-
cans. As soon as raiding parties
cross the Rio Grande they d.
vide up, SO there is evidently
no trail to follow; but they will
all meet at their camp. He had
never known the Mexican forces
to assist the Americans to pur-
sue raiders in Mexico but once.
There has been more stock driv-
on across the Rio Grande within
100 miles of Fort Duncan, dur
ing the last forty days than has
in the six months previous.
About five weeks ago there was
body of Indians camped with
in three miles of the RIO Grande
preparing tor raid. They could
have been killed but were not
molested. Four days afterward
they killed two men near Lare-
do, and got back with a herd
OF cattle.

The above contains too much
truth. Justice is meted ont in
proportion to the length of a
mans purse strings. A poor
man without friends is forced to
a summary trial and if guilty is
generally convicted. II a man
has money enough, he can XIII
whomsoever he pleases-; and by
a liberal expenditure OF money
goes scot free. This is so not
only in Texas, but throughout
the United States. In England
if man commit a crime, no
matter how much money he
may be worth he is punished
just the same as the poor man
without a shilling.

THE Republicans in Ohio are
in a brown study as to who will
be the next Senator. Stanley
Matthews succeeded to the va
cancy made by the resignation
Of Sherman, with the under
standing that he was to be
reelected tor the full term ; but
the people OF Ohio who were
not party to this contract,
knocked it to peices by electing
a Democratic legislature, with
the understanding that good
Democrat Pendleton, Morgan,
Ewing, Allen or Payne, shonld
be mode Senator. The
Republicans do not contemplate
this change with pleasure. At
ter the 4th OF March next, Ohio
will tor the first time in this
generation be represented in the
Senate BY two Democrats.
