have every incentive to prosecute the
gigantic task in hand with all availa-
BILE vigor. And, as this road will
traverse as fine a country as lies be-
tween Chicago and Cairo, it will
quickly draw after it an immense
stream Of people. 1t is purely agri-
cultural, is never visited by what you
call winter, and yet has lain dormant
during the lapse of all former ages.
In addition to this enterprise there
are 800 miles of other new roads in
other portions of Texas under way.
One is called the Texas Trunk, run
ming from Dallas to Sabine Pass, on
the East Gulf Coast, a distance Of 260
miles, and which is being built by a
Massachusetts, company. Another
line, and a part Of the Houston 4
Texas Central, is being built north
west of Waco, and which will laydown
100 miles Of track by next New Years
day.
There is a brigade of men at work
upon the narrow-guage roads-One be-
tween Texarkana and Waco, and the
other Houston and Shreveport. The
International is extending its line
from Austin to San Antonio, and Jay
Gould is all ready to bring the NJ, X.
K /. from Denison through Gaines
vile, and Denton to Dallas, and from
here strike out southwest toward the
Rio Grande. He also will extend it
from Denison to Palestine on the east
of us.
When one travels over the rich
lands, everywhere to be seen in Texas,
lying idle and just as they came from
the hand of the Creator for the most
part, he will not wonder atathese en-.
terprises of to-day so much as he will
marvel that they we're not undertaken
long ago. Much of it for fertility will
equal anything lying between Chicago
and Pittsburg, Cleveland and Kansas
City, But, however slow they have
been in the past, the people caught
the earliest spirit and mounted the
first wave Of the boom which recently
set in, and now have the satisfaction
of knowing that their country has at
last elected the attention of the CAPT.
talists Of the world-al that was
necessary to quickly send theirs to
the front of American states, at
least in population. For if Texas had
the population tothe square mile Hi
nois has, she would have 100000 00
inhabitants. And were all her availa-
BILE cotton lands cultivated in that
staple, she would annually send
100000 bales to market. She last
year produced 100000, or one-ffth
the total crop, which has and is now
selling for $75,5C0,000. Has over yet
statistician properly estimated the
agricultural capacity Of the United
States2 Texas alone can clothc the
world in cotton fabrics. The eyes
which will look upon it in 1880 will
behold a grand sight, and what a con-
trast will there be between the map Of
this day aud Of that?

Washington ScandnI.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-The
scandal epidemic appears not to have
ended, as the following extraordinary
paragraph published in an eastern
paper will show:
This time scandal has struck the
White House. Charles Chapman, one
Of the executive clerks, has been dis
missed for undue familiarity with
young girls who went to the executive
mansion in quest of government APP
pointments. 1t is alleged that by pre-
tending he could influence appoint.
ments, he ruined several of the female
seekers for a place. When his con
duct became known to President
Hayes, the latter promptly discharged
Chapman. The immediate cause Of
his removal involved a member Of
congress from Ohio, who it seems
was a sort of partner of Chap
man in the disreputable business.
Representative Willetts, of Michi-
gan, admitted that he was in posses
sion of a batch of letters written by
Mrs. Christiancy to her husband in
Peru, but he declined pointedly to
allow any Of them, or any hint OF their
contents, to be published in advance
of their introduction as testimony in
court. IL do not desire" added Mr..
Willetts, ito have the case tried in the
newspapers. You can say, if you
choose, that the character of this cor
respondence is such that i twill entirely
exonerate Mr.. Christiancy from the
charges his wife has brought against
him"
The scandals connected with south
ern senators or their families seem
destined never to end. Lucy Horton,
who charges the son of Senator Nor
gan, of Alabama, of having seduced
her, and who recently made an assault
upon him here with intent to take his
life, this morning publishes the fol-
lowing card:
SIR am told the one obstacle
In my way of obtaining employment in
the departments is that it would be an
almost unprecedented case of the gov
eminent giving employment to a per-
son under indictment. Mr.. Morgan
is also under Indictment at Selma,
Ala besides, ne has killed a man,
and he has a responsible position
under the government. If your paper
will speak favorably of employment
being given, aud mention Mr.. Morgan
is also under indictment.

600 custom. The congressional COM
mittee are at work on a bill to revise
the internal revenue laws relating to
spirits, whereby the taxes will be re-
duced some 3d. 900. As, however,
the revenue.on spirits has increased
$9,362,397 during the past seven

as a whole, will not be reduced.
The first of the month finds u
local money market in easy working
position, currencybein in good supply
with a light mercantile demand for
discounts, and no request of impor-
lance except for temporary use. The
ruling rates are 8 per cent, with a
tendency to lower figures, and Dor
rowers with undoubted security can
now negotiate at 6 and Z per cent.
