The Galveston journal understands and
apprcciates the situation on the Galveston
wharf question and thus expresses itself;
II is self.evident that the monopoly now
epioved by the wharf company is curse 10
Galveston, but the gentlemen who are reap
lag the harvest are only illustrating promi-
nent attributes of human nature. Inc Jour-
nal does not wish to be understood as con-
demning the wharf company. IL does oesire
to be understood. however, as favorlng Mr.
I,abatt's bill, or any other Measure likely 70
loosen the monopoly's grip upon the throsI
of Galveston's commerce.
We do not wish to be understood as ex-
pressing any convictions pro or con on MI
Lsbstps bill, for the details of it are not ia
miliar TO us, but this we do know, that the
Galveston wharf company, whether justly or
not we donot propose to discuss. has been
made the cause of much complaint against
Galveston, and Il hrs been used as a means
70 iniure the commercial prosperity OF that
city, and if any thing can legitimatoly and
fairly be done TO overcome this. it ought, in
Justice to the city Of Galveston, and the
whole state as well, to be done.
The Sherman Chronicle, in the following,
INDUCES in remark, and covert hing' as
we interpret it, entirely uncailed for;
"The Rise and Fail of the Confederate
Government" is to be the title of JEFF Davis
new book. A book on the rise and future
of the south following the war would De
more pslataDle reading.
Ex-Presdent jefferson Davis book ia not
only intereatipg reading, coming from ms
facile aud forcible pen, but it will be WORK
of inoslculable historical worth TO the entire
country. The history Of the late struggle
between tho SECTIONS Is the very essence ol
the history of Tho American governmentand
the only way TO get the truth of both sides is
for the laaoiug minds opposed to each other
to write up the facts they know. Such q
work as The Chronicle suggests would no
doubt be palatablo mental pabulunl, but il
could never have the intrinsic value of Mr..
Davis work.
"If this be treason make the most ofJt,'
but the Houston Post said it;
Colonel Boudinot, AMI even Sitting
were he domesticGted, would certainly MIKE
AS effective senator as Bruce, of Mississippi.
In fact, it looks like begging of the CUES
ton to require Of the loyal Indian the quail
flcaton of freeholder MS condition of citi-
zeuship, while every worthless white or black
man ia admitted on his rights of manhood.
The Sherrnsn Courier remarks:
The Bronham Banner, Paris North Texan,
Denison Herald and Gsinesville Register, are
the papers of the state which sigh for a
revindieRtiou of the middle ages whipping
post.
We presume the Courier does not sigh.
Well, the papers named may be mad for
fayoring the re-eitablishment Of the whip
ping post, but we are not prepared to say
that there is not the very best sort Of method
in their madness This is debatable ques-
ton, and while gs are not of a mind just yet
without more deiDeration and investigation
to commend this psnalty for many of the
misdemeanors, the punishment of which is
a.grieyous burthen to the people, still it
might be argued and duly considered.
The Austin Statesman says and urges itas
one among many good reasons for passing
the constitutional amendment to exempt
manufacturing enterprises from taxation for
term Of years:
Mr.. Stephen Il. Minton, Of Bremond, now
in Austin, has beautiful specimens Of china
ware made from Kalolin, found upon his
iand ia nObeusOR county. bis IA moral 10

is that Il may encourages tie establishment Of
an industry vastly creiitable 70 the state. In
the intere't Of manufacturing enterprises IN
Texas, the legislature ought - submit an
amendment 50 the constitution, providing
for st leas. Tea yeafs exemption, after their
establishments Of sll manufacturing proper

Minton would certainly hsye no trouble IN
inducing capital and experience 10 engage 10

made IN France, IN industry now unknown

county, has Introduced bin in the house
