citizens" will not agree as to taxation,
and Hon. George Washington Jones
can get only 800, 600 from the govern
ment, and there is no light ahead on
the sad subject. An estimate of sppro-
priations already expended, says the
Neaos, reaches half million dollars, and
the condition of the hsrbor is no bet
ter than when La Fitte used to hid treas
ures among the bull-rushes on Calves
ton Island. This half million of dol
lars has absolutely been thrown away,
and the government is every year called
upon to throw away more money,
simply to benefit few Galveston deal
ers, and Texas goes along having no
harbor, and New Orleans is preparing
to take all its trade and enjoy its bene-
fits. Major Howell has said that one
thousand yards of jetties, costing not
exceeding $500, 900, at the mouth of
the Brazos, would give oyer fifteen feet
Of permanent water, and what would
not a half million of dollars eecure?
Houston is as near deep water in the
Brazos as 1t is to Galveston, and it al
ready has a railroad to the bank of the
river, If the mouth of the Brszos
were made harbor, such az 1t can be
made, the old Brazoria Tap rail
way, fifty miles long, would be
equal in value to these roads
we now read about, whose stocks
in the New York market are quoted at
$50, 900 per mile. Why our Congress
men haYe not looked with enlarged
views upon this deep water question in
Texas can be explained only in the
manner referred to in his article,
and yet Gslveston's five or six thou
sand votes in the eyes of n statesmen
would be insignificant by the side of
the vast benefits deep water for direct
shipments would confer upon all

needed to put the state on the very
highsst road to prosperity. East Texas
wants it; North Texas needs it; West
Texas would be blessed with 1t, and
South Texas would be saved by it.
Deep water must be obtained, and the
only way to get it is by establishing
the point where it can be gotten at
reasonable expense. The United States
is not expected to spend from four to
ten millions OF dollars to give sixteen
or eighteen feet of water at Galveston,
when from twenty to twenty-five feet
could be obtained near by at ten to thir-
ty times less. The mouth of the BrazOs
should be thoroughly examined by
competent engineers, and then we are
not sure but that they ought to be
taken from Washington, via rail to
Houston, and thence to Columbia, un-
der full guard, to remain 80 until the
work should be completed and report
made.

THE people of La Grange have raised


$50, coo for the purpose, and will give
valuable land to secure the branch OF
the Sunset road from Columbus up the
valley OF the Colorado. Had we not
so often asked the people of Austin to
build themselves narrow gauge rail-
way towards the northwest to give
them trade, to which appeal they have
turned deaf ear, we might tell them
something about advantages to be de-
rived from inducing this branch line
to come along up the rich Colorado
valley to Austin. II would make one
of the best paying railway lines in

AT the city of Mexico Grant was
cordially received by the ofiiacls OF
the government, and though hosts Of
officers and soldiers were placed on
the streets to receive him, the popu-
lace greeted him with hisses and
groans, and q shout was raised of
s.Death to Gen. Grant," 'Death to
the North American people, forms Of
salutation which could hardly be
termed resssuring. This shows moth
ing but that the Mexican people do not
look upon our country with very kindly
eyes, and, in this official welcoming oI
the ex-president. they were offered an
opportunity OF freely expressing their

Mr.. ADRIAN 8. HEWITT and Mr..
Dorsheimer paid out $170, 900 on ac-
count of Mr.. Tilden's last canvass, and
the sly old coon positively refused to
return the sum until very lately, when
he became a candidate for renomina-
ton. Hewitt and DOrsheimer were
lately Mr.. Tilden's enemies, but
whether this settlement has re-estab-
lished friendship as of old, is not yet
told. IL is settled, however, that
nobody else will 60 around advanc-
ing money for him, for should he be
defeated there will be no probability
of settlement, and should he be suc-
cessful his cold recognition would be
regarded as sufficient remuneration.
The financial boom, however, has not
yet produced the probability that such
reckless denial will be INDUCED in.

TOUCHING DKPICIRNCIEs.

"Brass Tacks," correspondent of
the Waco Telephone, has assumed to
teach the people of Texas upon finan-
cial issues. He asserts that the def
cheney at the end OF Governor Hub
bard's administration amounted to only
$102, 900, and quotes the last message
of that gentleman in proof. He ig-
nores the fact that Governor Hubbard
mentioned, but did not include in his
estimate, other deficiencies of over
$500, 900; also, that Governor Roberts
called attention to the true state of the
case In one of his messages. Governor
Roberts made no attack upon the aver
ments of Governor Hubbard, but sim-
ply gave full expression to what his
predecessor had alluded to by supply
ing the figures omitted. What is still
more objectionable in one who assumes
to teach, he ignores the action of the
Sixteenth Legislature. It is probable
that body knew what deficiencies had
to be provided for. On page 17s, gen.
eral laws, Sixteenth Legislature, chap
ter 1853, will be found an act
making appropriations for deficiencies
occurring from September 1, 1876, to
February 90, 1879. II they will take
the trouble to add up the different
items of the above mentioned act, they
will discover that they amount to

If the Cincinnati; conven,ion cour

If the Cincinnati convention could
only feel as did party of gentlemen
at Victoria, the country could be saved
through the instrumentality of patrI-
otism. The AdUocate says: at may
be accounted as strange colncident,
and yet as an evidence of the populari-
ty of that great statesman, Thomas F.
Bayard, that on last Monday night, as
respectable party of gentlemen from
different parts of the country were
seated at the Carter House in this city,
discussing national politics, Mr.. Ben
nett, Of Lavaca county proposed, that
each one of the party should write on
ballot his choice for the next presi-
dency. No names were mentioned,
and hat was passed around among
those present. Every one exercised the
privilege of voting, and when the bal
lots come to be counted, with an unan-
unity never excelled, they all bore the
honered name of that true and uDflinch-
ing Democratic statesman, Senator
Bsyard. Victoria and the West are
solid on him.

COMPLIMENT TO THE MINERS.
DECEMBER Goth, 1880.

DECEMBER 2Oth, 1881.
Mr.. Editor Let me inform the
readers of the JOURNAL that, having
been notified that delegation of the
miners would meet me according to
my request through your columns
at Foresters Hall, Saturday, the 18th
inst, at 10 o'clock a. M, arrived at
the hall and found large number of
delegates present.
Suffice it to say that every thing
went off harmoniously the best of
feeling prevailed, and have no doubt
that good will result from our ex-
change of views, both to employee
and the employer. I have always
believed that q large majority of
our miners are reasonable men, and
the sentiments I heard expressed at
this meeting thoroughly convinced
me that all our miners want is fair
show. I am satisfied that few Of
them, ii any, would willingly injure
anything belonging to the several COM
panies. THOMAS BROWN.

For the Year 1850
OFFICE OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

OFFICE OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
