Peirce will have broken up all the
prairie dog towns of the west. 1t
is whispered, too, that Vanderbilt,
seeing reason TO add to his $l50,O00,-
900. will start from Memphis with
grand trunk line. destined TO pene-
trate tho heart of Texas, and the
rich silver fields OF Mexico, and that
he, too, like Gould ana Huntington,
will add another iron link between
the two oceans. Besides these, there
are hundred other railroad
schemes now occupying, and soon
to occupy, attention in Tex
as, among which, neither last
nor least, is the little narrow
gauge, that has been making vain
attempt to carry Dick Hubbard
out of Tyler. In 1880 there are
three thousand miles of railway in
Texas, 100000 people and $3.50, ,O0O,-
600 of property. In 1890 there will
be 10000 miles of railway, 4,000,-
600 of people and $4,000, ,000O 900
of property. Such will be tho re-
suit of one decade, secured by the
recognition that Texas is a garden
spot of the world.

The House of Representatives,
owing TO the absence of Democratic
members, is now under the control
of Republicans Democrats are de-
moralized, and it Is said they have
no settled policy about anything.
Touching tho concurrent resolution,
in regard TO counting the electoral
vote, special TO the New Orleans
Democrat says: "The Republicans
pretend to fear that Garfield will be
counted out; but their real motive
is widely different. They want to
keep alive the claim of the right of
Vice President Arthur in 1885 to
count the presidential vote, and they
also desire to provoke an extra ses-
sion so as to get the next House of
Representatives, with its patronage,
and turn out number of Demo
cratic members"

THE Brazoria Independent says
that Gen. Mansfield, in charge of the
improvements at the mouth of the
-Brazos, recommends that Congress
appropriate 100000 more for the
completion of the contemplated i'm
provement of the mouth of the
river. 1t is expected that this ap-
preparation will give a permanent
depth of twcBty-four feet on the
bar. The" STATESMAN has all the
time eontended that the bar Mt the
mouth of the Brazos river can be re-
moved at less cost, giving more
water, than at any other point on
our coast. The harbor in the river,
just above the mouth, is not sur.
passed, and large ships could be ta-
ken all the way TO Columbia, the
terminal point of the southern di-
vision of the International & Great
Northern railway.

IT is said that Jay Gould has pur
chased the entire line of tho Inter
national railway, with all its fran
chises. 1t is also stated as rumor,
in the st. Louis Republican, that he
has purchased q controlling interest
in the Iron Mountain Railroad Com
pany. The facts are that Mr.. Gould
and Mr.. Thomas Allen have been
negotiating for some days, and Mr..
Aliens stock in the Iron Mountain
road, while still in his possession,
will probably be sold to Mr.. Gould.
The transfer viii probably be made
in>s few days. The probability of
the Iron Mountain route, sooner or
later, being iaeorporated with the
great Southwestern system of the
Wabash, of which Nh Gould is the
controlling spirit, has been discussed
in railroad circles ever since the, ab-
sorption bv the Wabash combination
Of the Missouri, Kansas s Texas
line, and therefore the well informed
are by no means amazed at develop
ments.

GEN. GRANT failing to get the
presidency of the Panama Canal
Company. is now at Washington try
ing to inaugurate an opposition
scheme to De Lesseps. 1t is thought
not improbable that a bill will be
introduced to incorporate the rival
company, naming Gen. Grant, Ad-
.miral Ammen, George w. Riggs, ex-
Governor Morgan of New York
and others. On the other hand, it
is not thought that the American
branch of De Lessep's company can
obtain articles of incorporation from
the government, although it might
from some state, as tho Panama Rail-
road Company did from New York.

A SAD and dramatic eviction,
showing how English noblemen col
lect Irish rents, lately took place in
County Wicklow. An old man
named Arthur Kavanagh, in feeble
health and bed-ridden for two years,
who had cabin on the property of
Earl Fitzwilliam. had fallen behind
in his rent. y decree of ejectment
was Obtained, aud the gameKeeper,
with two bailiffs, went to execute
the decree. They had to carry
Kavanagh out of the house, and as
he was crossing the Threshold of
his cabin the poor old man gave one
gasp and died in the gamekeeper's
arms. His body was laid by the
roadside. Over it for hours sat his
only mourDer, a granddaughter.

1T sppears that Judgc Reagan is
to be robbed of the glory to be de-
rived from urging an Interstate

that end. 1t declares that it is the
duty of the general government to
exercise its constitutional rights in
this direction by the passage of the

against the injustice of railroads.

THE Western Union Telegraph
Company's figures fully justify the
recent reports of the heavy falling
off in Its business. The net profits
for the quarter ending September
Soth, 1880, were $1,O7o,827, against
1877, ,449 for the same quarter last
year, a decrease of 800, ,622. The
necessary payments for interest on
bonds, construction, purchase of pat
ents, etc. and dividend of II per
cent, were $1,275,95S, an actual de-
felt of $205,126 Last year the prof
its yielded n surplus of 1871, ,40s. The
change in the business of the COM
pany comes probably from the rival
ry of the American Union Company,

The Aqe must be credited with
wisdom when il discusses q question
in this wise: "The Gulf Colorado
and Santa Fe railroad company have
engaged to extend their road from
Bolton to Fort Worth, and it seems
now well settled that Jay Gould
will Immediately extend the Kansas
and Texas branch of the Missouri
Pacific from Fort Worth to Bolton.
y 9TH roads will be pushed vigorous
u forward: and in a very few
months we shall have the two lines
running parallel to each other and
side by side from one ofthose towns
TO the other. A fierce competition
will Immediately spring up. The
two roads viii be opposing candi-
dates for the same business, and the
issue will be as TO which can offer
the greatest inducements to shippers
and passenger travel. In such
fi0ht il seems 10 US, that the Gull,
Colorado and Santa Fe must neces-
sarilv be driven 20 the wall. The
Jav Gould combination controls
too many roads and commands too
mauy millions of dollars. 1t will
proye too heavy an adversary for
the other to contest with We may
be mistaken; but we have \ strong
conviction that Mr.. Gould has
marked the Gulf Colorado and Santa
Fe for destruction

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.


The chief officers of the province
of Quebec must have been strangely
negligent of that civil service re-
form, about winch President Hayes
writes so much. Evidently there
has been very loose management in
the Canadian departments, since
civil service rules of such harsh
nature have now to be resorted to
to bring order out of chaos. The new
regime may be accounted for in the
fact, that of late many Canadians
have visited Texas, and being struck
with the punctuality and the deco
rum and the abstemiousness of our
own department employees they hav 8
gone back to the Dominion, and
have told how it is in Auotin. The
regulationspreseribed at Quebec arc
eighteen in number, mainly requiring
clerks to be present from ,half-past
nine in the morning until four in the
afternoon, with half an hour for
lunch, which, without express per-
mission given on account of i'll
health, must be eaten in the office.
No clerk is allowed to absent him
self during the hours, nor visit other
departments, except on business.
Absence from the Office can be par
doned only on the strength of q
medical certificate. Spirituous liq-
uors are forbidden, as is smoking
and the introduction of newspapers
and other reading matter into the
offices. Those known to frequent
bar and billiard rooms will be dis
missed. Political and religious dis
cussions and loafing around the
offices are prohibited during office
hours, and an application for an in
crease of salary is considered res
ignation. Extra time can be ordered
by the heads of departments, and i'm
mediate dismissal follows the COM
municating ofbusiness or documents
TO Outslders--rnl----- .I.a. .;,,,;
lar rules are to be enforced, and the
necessity for them seems so strange
to those, at least, who have acquain-
tanco with departments ut Austin.

The Houston Post, of Tuesday, in
declining to publish what is reported
as very gentlemanly card from the
Rev. H. Gillespie, of Georgetown,
correcting false statement, which
appeared in the Post, concerning
the action Of the Waco synod of the
Presbyterian Church, says:
"This has caused also declination
on our part to publish an interview
with a prominent clergyman for
warded to the PosT quo dd hoe
The STATESMAN has been informed
about this ''interview.7 A repre-
sentative of the Post came TO Aus
tin after leaving Georgetown seek
ing this 'interview," and inquired
of gentlemen of this city to know
where he could find this "clergv.
man." stating to them that he
wanted an :'interview7 for the
Post. Before he saw the clergyman a
correspondent of the Post, meeting
the Clergyman" at the Office of the
Sun, asked him to be seated, and,
with pencil and paper in hand, there
sought the interview" The cler-
gyman declined to be interviewed,
and the correspondent said he would
write to DR.. Gillespie, at George
town, and get tho facts. 1t was at
this point that the clergyman" con-
sented to write out the facts, and
did it. The agent met him after
wards and thanked him for the arti-
Gle, stating that it was the desire of
the Post to have it. AL this took
place in the presence of gentle
men. Neither the agent nor the
other correspondent is to blame,
but the Post would now make
it appear that the Clergyman"
sought to be heard through the Post.
when just the opposite is the fact.
How did the Post learn that there is
a rule ct tho synod ahnnt pnhlish-
ing certain matters? What clergy
man furnished the Post with the
statement that DR.. Gillespie had to
correct? What one is shielded by
the Post in refusing to let him speak?
Ii there is to be peace among Pres
byterians in Texas the ministry have
a right to be heard, at least when
they are grossly misrepresented.
