The Raccs

Preparations for the races, to commence
next Tuesday are now about complete.
The track IS in most excellent condition,
and ample arrangements have been made
Tor the accommodation and comfort rs well
as the entertainment of visitors. 1t is the
object of the Jockey Club and the manage
ment to make Jockey Club racing popular,
not only in Dallas, but throughout the
State, that Il new impetus may be given to
the raising of fine and thoroughbred stock.
and especially that Dallas may twice a wear
have sport so rare and pleasing that it will
rebound to her credit and honor abroad and
attract thousands of visitors here on each
occasion. Racing has always been popular
and an fat in the South and in the
North it is the very ton the best
classes of people going and taking
their children, ladies attending by scores
and hundreds and even thousands. There
is no reason why this should not be the
case. Since the day when chariot races were
in vogue at the very foot of Mount Olympus
and Athens, and Thrace, and other Grecian
States contended, racing has been an eyi
denCe of enlightenment and advancement.
The management propose to give one day
of the present meet to the children of the
city, ifteachers and parents will view the
matter in the right light and will agree on
the day. If this be DONE a special race in
addition will be gotten up if possible, and
everything possible for the enjoyment of
the little ones will be done, a place being
reserved for them on the grand charge, and
their welfare and enjoyment specially at.
tended to. In England the great race
meetings are epochs in every wear, and have
the especial patronage aud comtenancc
not only of the nobility and
aristocracy, but of royalty itself Dallas can
by proper action, and next fall we can have
the crack stables of the entire country with
us to winter and to show us their speed
drawing people here from all over the State
and from nclghhoring States. The stables
on the race grounds, quite q number run.
ming aud trotting, are IN fine condition and
next week there will be rare sport indeed.

To the Editor of the Herald:

To the Editor of the Herald;
DALLAS, November 80, lSSl.-In your
issue ofthis morning, appears the follow
ing item;
IS. G, McFall, who was arrested by the
United States officials on the charge Ofsell-
ing beer without license, in two cases, was
arraigned before United States Commits
sioner Burlord, yesterday. and compro-
mise was made by him with the attorney
for the Government, and the defendant was
admitted TO bail in the sum of 800 in each
case
Your reporter has fallen into error cal
culated to create "A false impression, besides
doing great injury to UNITED States Off
Gals" Mr.. McFall was not arrested ON
charge Of selling beer in two cases, but
was under bond to appear for examination
in two cases, one for selling beer without
License, and one for being a
dealer in manufactured tobacco without
license. He proposed to waive an eXamina-
ton, but the court examined witnesses who
proved the two separate charges, and then
fixed his bond in each case, and the defend
ants counsel stated that he
should make application to the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue for q
compromise, as they could not fight the
case He did not compromise nor propose
to compromise with the attorney for the
Government" but proposes, through his
counsel to pursue the course pointed out
to those who unintentionally violate the
revenue laws. Please request your report
ers to be more particular in reporting pro-
ceedings in my court. Respectfully,
n. NJ. BURFoRD,
United States Commissioner.

The New York Herald has the following
TO say on the plethoric condition of the
national Treasury: The Secretary Of the
Treasury occupies the exceedingly comfort
able position of having more money than he
can spend or invest. The result is that a
heavy surplus is accommodating in the Treas
ury vaults and that large number of peo-
pie in different parts of the country are in a
very unhappy frame of mind A balance
on the Treasury books makes the average
Congressman shudder and drives the pat
riots. Of the lobby to the verge
Of insanity. These gentlemen, of course,
never dream of such thing as the
reduction of taxation. National economy
means in their eyes national ruin. They
want broad generous policy-intcrnal
Improvements on vast scale-subsides for
everything from cranberry patch to line
of steamers or railroad across the cont.
nent. We may be certain that when Con-
gress meets next month, the Treasury sur.
plus will be attended to. The gentlemen
who are gathering from the North and the
South and the East and the West will, il
they are allowed to have their own way,
periodically relieve Mr.. Folger from what.
ever embarrassment he may feel in this
respect

Commendable Gratitude

The German, Joseph Hcrnschrodt, who
lost some $1,000 through the cupidity of
n l.. Hoch, having recovered $1,c62 exhib-
tied a most commendable gratitude to those
to whom he was indebted for its recovery.
To Judge Thurmond, who prosecuted
Hoch, he presented $50 for his services.
To George Miller, the Deputy Sheriff who
contributed SO largely to the recovery of the
money, he presented $25 TO Mr.. Woods, the
steward of the Grandchildren, who was
untiring and persistent in befriending
Joseph, and in hunting up the evidence to
secure the conviction of Hoch and in secur-
ing the money for his German friend, who
is the trusted laundryman in the same
establishment, he presented S25. These
are noble deeds, and attest the true charac-
ter of Mr.. Hernschrodt. The Germans will
doubtless feel proud of such traits of charac-
ter i'll countryman of theirs.

Of the kind in the country. The building
is to be one story brick with EXTRA nee
from the street with sharing saloon on
one end and bar ON the
other. The dimensions are to be
GOxl25 feet deepw forty foot ceiling, and
will contain three galleries and a fine par
quette. Especial attention will be given
to the construction of the stage, which will
be erected with view to ample room, so
the largest companies can be accommoda-
ted. The scenery of the stage and the
entire finish of the building throughout, is
to be first-class, the whole to cost about
5000, independent of the ground. Dallas
has long felt the want of good opera
house, and the erection of first class one
having assumed definite shape, the theatre
going public of Dallas will be pleased to
learn of it.

ONE Of our exchanges says there is a diff.
ference of opinion about our Navy, whether
TO build the next vessel to so fast or slow.
Ii is a pleasure to learn that the majority
favor the slow ship. In the first place it
permits of a model that gives the officers
better quarters, and that is enough. But,
besides this, there is no call for u fast ship.
The American Navy never needs TO run
from an enemy, and, moreover, il the ship
is slow our Navy will be in sight much
longer when she is near foreign ports than
if she was fast and quickly disappeared.
Thus in effect we can make more show.
That is what is wanted We are inclined
to think the new Navy will be built slow
and slowly, too.

AMONG the appropriations that Congress
will be asked to make IN its next session
will be an increase for the Life Saving
Service of the United States. At present
the allowance in this particular is 500, 900,
while $l,OOo0O0 is really necessary for the
the purpose. In matters of real Importance,
and particularly OF charitable nature, the
government should not be niggardly in its

From the Evening Journal published at
Lewiston, Maine, we notice that our worthy
citizen, Captain w, G. Veal, now in that
State made some very excellent remarks
at a fair held in Lewiston on the 18th ult.,
and at which there was great number OF
citizens and visitors. Among other things,
Mr.. Veal said he was glad in one sense that
the war occurred as it wiped out sectional
lines and brought the peoples of the North
and South into relationship never known
before. The sectional feeling, he contendsd,
had been destroyed once and forever, and
the journal says his words went to the
hearts Of his auditors. Is would be well
dor the South II more of her representative
citizens could in the Same way reach the
ear OF the North.
