An official who holds office under appoint ment from tae President, and good office at that, refused few days since, 10 pay six cents due on two letters which were sent him from the southern portion of the Territory and probably of considerable importance therefore these letters, upon which were due the insignificant sum of six cents, just one fourth the price of a cigar or drink of beer, had to be sent to the dead letter office at Washington. Who knows but what these missives contained the startling and very important intelligence that some of the h. ternal Revenue laws had been infringed up on!

In Tennessee, the legislature passed res olution censuriDg a minister for preaching honesty. The California press has di . position, and is displaying 1t freely, to censnre our legislators for having passed certain divorce bills, separating from the bonds of matrimony, various persons who were separated from great and grave causes, and which made it beyond the power of any person to restore, between them, peace and harmony, and thus bring them together again. If in any instance our law makers did an injustice to any particular person, their acts are more than oyerbal- anced separating those who really were entitled to the privilege of electing to live separately from an object which they had become, through i'll usage, neglect or other wise, possessed of feelings to despise.

WASHINGTON. Dc, |
July 30, 70. J

The public debt statement tor July
will show an increase OF five or SIX
millions. The enthusiastic friends OF
Sec'y Sherman say that this is entirely
caused BY his absence from the city.
Some few men Seem to estimate Mr.
Sherman's abilities as highly as he
himself does. II was not long since
TINT no wrote q letter in which he
spoke OF the impossibility OF his &c.
cep,ipg nomination for Governor OF
Ohio. as the financial affairs Of the
Government were Of the utmost i'm
portapce and he could manage them
better than any one else.
The Secretary's trip to Maine, by
the way, does not seem to have been
the great success it promised to be-
Blame and the other politicians got
out the usual crowds, but the Secre'
tary was not received with much en-
thusiasm. 80
Col. Heating, the Memphis editor
who did so good service last year dur
ing the prevalence Of yellow fever, is
here direct from Memphis He thinks
that the fever there has spent its force.
The people left 10 the city are so few
in number that it will be impossible
for it to spread. He reports the au-
thorities of Memphis as having the
affairs Of the city we'll in hand, and
that they will be able to care tor all
without having to appeal tor aid from
outside. The cases 60 far developed,
he says, in no way present the malig-
pant form the fever did during the
epidemic Of last year. He anticipates
that within six weeks business in Mem
phis will be going on as usual. we
have one case of the fever here, but
do not anticipate danger from 1t.
The destructive drouth Of the last
few weeks was broken by fine, rain
storms a few days ago. and people are
better natured az vegetation looks up.
Every growing thing, however, was
injured, and fruit is small and insipld
from the long thirst.
It is announced that Sec'ys Ihomp-
son, Sherman and Schurz will take
Ohio in on their way home from a
vacation and make speeches in favor
of the Republican ticket. DEM.

Tho Future Of Texas.

Elsewhere in our present issue we
cepy the last letter OF Mr.. Smalley to
the New York Tribune. and letter of
j.. W. Shnnds to the Galveston News
in Just criticism of Smalley's letters.
Mr.. Stands makes some capital points.
and yet candor compels us to say that
we think this last letter Of Smalleys
is the least Objectionable one OF the
series, and well worthy Of careful
oerusal. We are and have long been
convinced that there has been an
amount Of bloviation over the future
of Texas quite unwarranted by fact or
reason. We are of those who believe
that enough can be said in her praise
while adhering to the simple truth.
and that it is the best policy to do SO.
This eternal self-glorificatlon on the
score of the size of our State, irrespec.
tive of quality, in particular is q very
transparent humbug, and needs to De
exploded. Smalley no doubt runs to
the other extreme in some respects,
but it can do no harm to read what he
has to say. The truth here, as always,
will be found between the extremes.
Texas, although she will never be oil
that the iancies OF many have painted
her. is no doubt destined to be n great
and wonderful State; but to make her
realize that destiny something more
vi be needed than to lie upon our
oars and draw upon our imaginations
Her great natural resources will have
to be thoroughly drawn out aud util.

Legislature repeating the law author.
izing tho publication of delinquent
tax-lists in newspapers. The Banner
says
We publish below the net of the
called session, repeating, the newspap-
er advertisement of the delinquent tax.
list, and authorizing the Collector to
execute the same by posting notices in
three public places in the county 10

have spoken of this outrage before, and
the great hardships that may befall
The poor and ignorant farmer BY its
operation. The names Of those who
voted for the bill should be put on

Posting Tax Sales.

About the time the regular session
: of the 10Th legislature convened, the
papers of the State, with few excep-
lions. published one or more articles
Oh the subject of forced sales, aud
unanimously condemned the law uu.
der which the property OF the debtor
passed out of his hands so quietly that
he might hardly be aware OF it. did he
not feel the the consequent sacrifice by
which land sharks and spectators
we're enriched. A very large number
of the peoples representatives must
have been advised of the unjustness of
a law oy which property was subjected
to forced sale without further adver
Using than the posting OF notice on
the court house door. and at two OH,
or public places in the county. These
notices frequently being badly written
and sometimes so illegibly that they
would Iuzzle even an expert to read
them. 1t was hoped that the legisla.
ture, having been importuned. would
remedy the evil and require the adver-
Using of lands for sale under execu.
ton. so that the people would be gen.
orally informed Of the date and terms
of sale, and of the character and To-
cation of the lands, so that competi-
ton would enable the debtor to realize
something near the value of mis- prop
erty. hut instead they repealed the law
requiring the publication OF lands for
sale even for taxes except by posting,
thus placing the owners OF lands sub.
zee, to forced sale under any and all
process at the mercy Of land specula-
tors. II there be class deserving
protection By our law makers. il is that
which. from misfortune. is compelled
by law TO part with its possessions by
forced sale. and especially is it so with
delinquent tax payers. many ct whom
live outside Of the State and in coun'
tics other than that in which their
lands are situated.
We clip the above from the Victoria
Advocate. The editor Of that paper
is. We believe. a member Of the Legs
lature. Wonder if be denounced IL

The Fort Worth correspondent OF
the St. Louis Times-J Journal, referring
to artesian wells, says;
The health of Fort Worth has i'm
proved materially since the arteslan
water is used, and it is we'll to tell it
to the world. There are twenty wells
flowing constantly in town. The last
one is called Days well" and it runs
fifty barrels an hour, over 1000 per
day. A constant stream of visitors
pour out to see it every every evening.
and it is the greatest curiosity around
the place. The water is the coolest
of any of them and as clear as crystal.
This water is hauled around to the
residences of those who order il at a
small sum per barrel, but it tastes bet
ter right from the we'll, as it then has a
sparkle like champagne. The campers
think they have struck the best thing
out. and any evening in visiting the
we'll we find all the ground surround
ing it full of tents and wagons, with
camp fires cleaning through the brush.
The we'll is down towards the river,
and fringe Of trees and underground
grows upon the banks of the Trinity

snalley On Texas.

AUSTIN, July l6.-I noticed with
pleasure your short criticism OF Il. V.
Sm.lley's letter to the New YORK
Tribune. As Mr.. Smslley is recogni.
zed as one of the editorial staff OF
that paper, and he makes his deduc'
tons as he says from actual observa'
ton, calmly and diapassionately," his
dictum may have some weight with
people who are not thoroughly &C.
ouainted with the character OF our
soil, climate and the resources Of the
State, His letter will be generally
read in the north, as it has been copied
by leading journals. I merely wish
to call attention 70 the fact that Mr.
Mr., Smalley as a basis for his "dispas'
siouate, diatribe AYERS that it is the re-
suit of tour extended over three
weeks I'm every part Of the State
which could be reached by railroad.
If the readers of Mr.. Smalley's article
will provide themselves with a map OF
Texas they will find that all the trunk
railroads in this state, with perhaps one
exception, follow what is known as
the divides" and their routes were
selected on account of the dimunition
of cost in the construction. The rail.
roads avoid the alluvial valleys whero
the expense of grading and bridging
would have been heavy. Hence al
though these rich lands are tributary
to the roads, the traveller from the
car window can not see them. In fact
the upland ridges which they traverse
may we'll mislead stranger as to the
general character Of our soil, etc. For
instance, take the road from Hemp
stead to Austin on the divide between
the Brazos and Colorado rivers. The
road traverses the upland postoaks
north and south. and contiguous to it
are the rich valleys of the Colorado
and Brazos, and the sorry railroad
towns are but the depots for the rich
valley farms. So with the Central
from Hampstead to Dallas, between
the Brazos and Trinity rivers. So
with the International and Texas
and Texas Pacific. running where
ever they can on the comparatively
sterile divides and heads of water
courses. People who know anything
about Texas have not derived their
Impression" from car window after
three weeks travel all over the state. "
1t would take Mr.. Smalley six months
constant travel by railroad, river, stage
and on bucking ponies to get anything
| like nm idea of the capacities of Texas ::
and at the end Of that time he, like
hundreds of others, would confess
there we're large areas which he had
not found time to personally inspect.
The sum of Mr.. E. ", Smalley's
summary as to the future Of Texas"
is simply that, after looking for three
weeks out of car-windows, day and
night, and conversing with passengers
on trains as we'll informed possibly as
himself, he very gravely asserts there
is no outcome to the state, aud, with
the cool assurance Of a bohemian re.
preventative of the editorial staff Of a
ournal inimical to the south and
southern people, deliberately ISLANDERS
and villifes two million people with
whom he has become intimately 40.
