The other morning we took occasion to
notice the rumorsas to G'OULD's crippled
condition and the exhibition Of wealth and
intimated hat the sign pointed rather

we notice that the same subject has been
attracting the attention and exciting
the comment Of almost the entire press Of
the country particularly In moneyed cities.

MODERN HUNS

Vandalism is not dead yet and a dis
reputable species of it exists in the United
States. Inthe New York City news lately
as te~legraphed from that point, we find the
following account ofa mas-smeeting in New
Rochelle ON the 18th inst: "a large mass
meeting of the townsmen Of New Rochelle
was held this evening TO demand that the
monument erected by CYRUS W. FIELD Ia
the memory of ANDRE be demolished. Mr.
srcKLEs, the father Of GE"ERAL DANIEL II
SrcKLEs, presided. He said the meeting wa,
called 10 answer the question whether trea.

objection TO the recent dciacing Of mon.
ument was that the act should have been
done by daylight, and not in the dark.
Afer numerous speeches resolutions were
adopted. among which were the following

for $500 and Skips.
James Snow, the Fort. Worth forger,
mention of which was made in the tele-
graphic columns of yesterdays HERALD,
was arrested by officer Ramsey and lodged
in prison. The officer did not know Snow.
but had read the telegram in the HERALD
stating that he had forged the name of his
step-mother, Mrs. Mary Snow, to two checks,
which were honored by Messrs. Tilball,
VanZandt & Co., bankers of that place.
The officer had stepped into a saloon to
glance over the paper when he saw the
telegram. Soon atterward q man came
in and called for adrink, and as he was leav.
ing the saloonist remarked; II think L
know that man, if it is not jim Snow it IS
his brother.' The officer then followed
him and asked him his name, and he an
swered that it was jim Snow. The
officer then arrested him and
took him to the station-house where
he was locked up to await
further information from Fort Worth.
City Marshal Arnold telegraphed Tidballl,
him and received the following reply:
To J. C. Arnold, Chief of Police:

FRONTIER DEFENSE INDEMNIFIoA-
ZION.

In another column we publish, this morn
ing, a bill introduced into the house OF rep
resentatives by Mr.. UPsoN, and by him
passed through the military committee the
object being the indemnitication TO lexas
for moneys paid out in frontier protection
The honorable gentlemen deserves the
highest credit for his efficient devotion to
this important matter, and 1t IS 10 De
h,ped that the bill will become a
law. 1t is but just to Iexas
that this should be so. Inc
object of the bill as announced i'll the re-
port accompanying the bill is in brief to
ascertain through the chief auditing oihcer
of the goyernm ent the amount OF money
expended, and indebtedness necessarily
incurred by the state of Texas IN the de-
Tense of her frontier against the hostility Oh
Indians and Mexicans. These expenses were
incurred by this state in giving to actual
and bona fide settlers, American cltl-
zens residing upon the frontiers
and within our limits, that pro-
lection which the general government
has failed to furnish, and which it should
have furnished. We say shoul nave iur-
nished, for if ever there was a duty on the
part of the general government toward "a
state to have afforded this protection WITH
out cost to the state Of Texas, this was one.
When the Republic was admitted into the
Union as q state, she coded TO the Unlteo
States ''all public edifices, Qualifications,
barracks, ports and harbors, navy-yards,
docks, magazines, and all other
property and means pertaining to
the public defense belonging TO
the Republic" And accordingly
Texas was admitted to be one OF these
states ION an equal footing with the orlgi-
nal ones in all re spects whatever" surely
then it is incumbent on the general govern
ment to do in cur case what its constitu-
ton imposes, viz guarantee to every state
in the Union protection against invasion"
And in conformity with thiS.view, it has.done
tor other states under similar ircumstah
ces only what is now asked by
Mr.. UPsoN's bill. In Tennessee whe'e
moneys were expended ny
her to suppress Indian hostllltles
appropriation by congress was made ana
the money refunded. So in Illinois and
Michigan for similar purposes the claims
of the militia called out by the governor
were allowed and settled on voucher from
those states. Iowa, Missouri and Kansas
met with a similar experience, their claims
being of identical nature. So that prece-
dent is abundant. 1t is immaterial whether
trouble comes from abroad, invasion by
any nation, or within the limits oil
the state, or along its borders IN
the shape Of instructions, incrrsions
of hostile savages, the general government
must extend the same parental authority
The liability of the government most
clearly appears to be distinct and positive.
The only question in the case, it would ln'
deed seem, is that Of the correctness Of TIE
accounts rendered for such purposes. me
bill should unquestionably become a law.

The Chicago, Texas s. Mexican Central
Railway CO..


Our yesterdays issue contained som re-
marks on the affairs of the Chicago, Texas
G. Mexican Central railroad company as
being now supervised by the secretary, Mr..
Bennett. This gentleman called upon us
yesterday and urged that we had done the
company some injustice; suggesting that
we did not understand the facts. We
give him below the benefit of his statements,
which read as follows: "Mr. Benefits here
for the purpose of investigating and finally
| adjusting all legitimate claims against
the company, and is now adjusting
and making payment of all just claims that
are presented" He further says: 1t is
true there has been a great deal OF dissatis-
| faction among the contractors, sus.con-
tractors and many of the employees of the
| ompany on account of the'deiay in getting
their money after they have finished their
work, and among them many OF the just
suffer with the unjust" within the last
three days." he says, errors and fraudu-
lent claims and claims that have been to-
tally unauthorized have been brought
| forward for settlement to the amount
of thousands of dollars, and to
make a just, equitable and specific
settlement, it requires time" THE road
had been built under many difficulties, and
there would be many reasons for delay in
finally closing up all the accounts which,
have accrued during its construction; and
while there has been delay which might
seem somewhat unreasonable, the assur-
ance is given that all the claims that are
legitimately due will be adjusted and paid
at once" He further saysthat "the money
is at bis command to settle them, and
that there was paid out yesterday
some considerable sums to the
contractors and others, and that in a few
days he will be prepared TO liquidate all the
demands against the company that are
Justly due" Mr.. Bennett further advises
us that "the stock of the A. A. l.. &C.
association which represents the capital in
vested in this road is held at par on the
original subscription, and that encourage
w ent is thereby given that at an early day
ne road will be rapidly pushed northeast
de further says that 1.-THE bill has pasted
congress granting them privileges
of. rirtt-0fwlN or trackage through
the Indian Territory" ThS the
company has spent nearly Gmhi1o- go
in this section, and considering the
paratiyely small sum due here, the
pany would surely not risk unnec3
delay or litigation in adjusting, etc."
All of which we are very glad to hed
