of the outrages in Texas. The
case at Marshal, wherein a ne

legitimately under the head of
an outrage.

Major Waldo, general freight
agent of the Central road in
forms a Houston Telegram re-
porter that he is assured that
between September Ist and the
Ist of July 1879, fully 10000
immigrants will have entered
Texas over the Central, and bill
led for the main immigration
points-Sherman and Denison.
These people are from Michi-
gan, Iowa, Indiana, Wisconsin
and other NORTHWESTERN states.
Most of the new corners scatter
into the frontier counties where
land is cheap.
Nearly all. the immigrants in
this immediate section are Ger
mans and Bohemians who come
to this country via New Orleans
and Galveston. But compare
lively few persons from the old
states have come to this coun-
tY in several years. People
from the old southern states are
not by any means likely to seek
homes in a portion of the state
where negro rule is in the SUI
premacy. This is the great
trouble in Washington, Fort
Bend, Brazoria, Wharton, Grim
es and Matagorda counties.

IT has often been contended
that large farms don't pay. 1t
is now demonstrated that there
is no money in large farms.
Mr.. M. L. Sullivant, of Cham
paign county, ILL.,, who had the
largest farm in the United
States, 10000 acres, has COM
pletely bankrupted himself. The
entire farm" stock etc will not
pay his liabilities by over $780,
900. Everything was sold and
Sullivant and his family are now
houseless and homeless. He
was no novice in farming, hav-
ing been practical and sue
cessful farmer in Ohio. The
big farm will probably be divi-
ded up into small farms, of
which it will make two hundred
and fifty of 100 acres each.

and Scobee for the murder of a
man in Rails county, in 1876,
cost $500. Vim. Cole, indict-
ed for wife murder in 1866 and
convicted in 1873, and the pros
ecutions of persons indicted for
the murder of Geo. w. Davis
cost $1,000. The figures Civ
en- are enormous, but as they
are official they cannot be
doubted. There is no very mate
| rial difference between the GRIM
inal laws of Missouri and Texas
and in the absence of any Off
cial figures to the contrary it is
fair to assume that it costs as
much to try a criminal in Texas
| as it does in Missouri. In the
cases cited there had been long
delays and in several of them
changes of venue from one
county to another. In COM
menting on the figures given
the Intelligence, says that by
the delays in trial the scaffold
is defrauded of its rights and
law-abiding citizens robbed of
the money expended. 1t says
further:
1--WE may tread on holy
ground, but we dare cross the
threshold of the temple of JUS
tice, and we aver that those who
sit clothed in the ermine of
| Judges are in no small degre
responsible for this fearful rec
ord"
The only remedy for the evil
complained of consists on a
speedy trial; no case should be
put off over six months if there
is any possibility of trying it
sooner. In Texas it is the un-
iversal practice to appeal every
capital case and in too many in
stances the finding of the lower
court is reversed on a legal
technicality. The usual result
that by the delay the crimi-
nal finally succeeds in escaping
justice. We need more eff
cient district judges than we
now have. The pay now allow
ed district judges is not suffi-
cient to secure first-class talent;
lawyers in good standing at the
bar can make more money in
their private practice and will
not abandon it for the empty
honor and small pay now allow
ed. In this particular instance
there is no economy in cheap
Judges; the cost to the state in
criminal prosecutions is many
times greater than would be
liberal salaries for competent
| Judges. The matter of county
attorneys also needs revision.
At present no lawyer of any
standing can be induced to ac-
cept a county attorneyship, and
the consequence is, the county
attorneys offices are now filled
by young men just beginning
the practice of the law, or by
old and confirmed shysters who
are a disgrace to the profession
and the communities in which
they live The prosecuting at
attorneys should be men of the
highest standing professionally
and instead of being dependent
upon fees should be paid liberal
salaries.
