Buildings Destroyed.

GALVESTON, January 13.-This afternoon
fire broke out in the cotton-rooms of w. S.

DESPERATE RAILROADERS.
Great Excitement Among IabOrers at
the Reduction of Their Wages-Ir
General-ManaScr HOxie
Had Been at WiIdhOrse Last Monday
the Texas Pacific Would Have Been
AN Official Short.

Sr. LOUIS, January l3.-The story comes
up from Texas that the lsectionhaads and
other laborers on the Texas Pacific railroad
are greatly excited over the recent reduction
of their wages to 81 Is per day, and that, four
days ago, large party of them stopped the
pay-car at point called Wildhorse, under
The impression that it was General Manager
Hoxie's car and that he was aboard OF it,
They side-tracked it and demanded the de-
livery of Mr.. Hoxie that they might lynch
him. When told that that official was not
in the car the mob would not believe
it, and they piled up wood around
the car to fire it, and, as they said, roast
Ho1ie out. Paymaster Kretz finally made
the excited men comprehend that Mr.. Hoxie
was not present, but they kept the car on the
side track two days before they allowed it to
60 East. 1t is also said that great dissatis-
faction exists at other points along the line
and that a considerable number of mechanics
have been discharged from the shops at
Marshall. 1t is also stated that there is to be
a general reduction of wages soon. Ii this
is carried out the men say there will be
trouble.

THE cowardly assassin who shot President
Garfield in the back Is nearing the end of
his tether. Every day OF his existence since
he murdered that good man has been an in
suit to the American people and the severest
possible test of their patience. He has ex-
pressed himself as relying confidently upon
Judge Cox. But he leans upon broken
reed. The question of irresistible impulse,
the main reliance upon which Guiteau him
self has sought to have the case depend, is
not to be submitted to the jury. Judge Cjx, in
his recent charge, said, "rhe question is a dan
gerous one, alike for court and jury, TO ham
die, AMI | do not intend TO express an opin-
ion upon it further than the fa-ts of the case
require, and they seem to me to relieve me
from the necessity of discussing it generally
Ii We strike out Of this case all the declara-
lions and testimony of the defendant himself,
we have no light whatever on the subj ct.
But think, in view of the undisputed fea-
lures of the case, il could only confuse, and
perhaps mislead the jury, to give them any
instructions directly upon the subject of ire
sistible impulse, and that this particular
case does not call for any qualification of
the general rule adopted, as / have men
toned. as the test of responsibility"

JEDGE HoRRIGAN's special jury calls
special attention "to the loss Of public reve-
r. nue through Irregularities and the careless
g pess OF officials, or resulting from the loose
method Of keeping ACCOUNTS, as heretofore
Is mentioned. Frequent instances are found
where the poll-tax has been collected and
" not sccounted for, being carried into the
Errors and Insolvencies' account, and so
settled in the final settlement of the trustee
and tax collector. 1t appears, too, from
the records that a large amount OF what
appears on the books as delinquent taxes
has been collected by various former tax
collectors, who have failed 10 give the
proper credits, but whose receipts have
" since been produced ard a record kept of
" the same. 1t appears, also, that in the
" various courts considerable sums accrue in
" the clerks hands, by reason of small dis
" tributees failing to call for their dividend-,
" and the records show instances where such
sums have passed with retiring clerks
" entirely out OF the court" OF course the
granl jury of the county will take c,gni-
rance of all these cases of loss by careless
ness, looseness or Irregularities and present
the delinluenis. No man should be spared.
Ii we are to have an honest government,
examples must be m ade of delinquents.

NASHVILLE, January ia very disas-

by persons owning property, and especially
lumber, along the stream, which has already
overfowed nearly, if not quite all of the low
lands, greatly impeding travel slong the
turnpikes and country roads. Reports from
the headquarters Of the river are to the effect
that it is still rising, with a prospect OF
thirty foot rise, which it is thought will
bring it up here to the rise of
1S47, which marked ffty-four feet. The
register Of the river here now shows
rise OF foriy-seven feet above low water
mark, the same as the rise Of 1873, with the
river still rising. All the lower portions OF
the city aod contiguous bottoms are flooded.
About two hundred poor families have been
forced to leave their homes, with the pros

1.-THE cotton crop of last year produced
over 100000 tons of seed, it averaging
about half ton of seed to every bale of cot
ton. OF this amount only 10000 tons, or
about one-sixteenth, was worked up. With
the other 2,sOO,OOO there was buried and
wasted 9s 900 900 gallons of oil, worth in its
crude state (4O cents) $50. .2OO,OOn, or in its
refined state (65 centsl, $62, 100000. The
vast amount of seed not put through the
mills was used for feed for stock or fer
tilizers, aud it is demonstrabIe that the seed
is better for either food or fertilizers after
the oil has been taken out than before. The
oil makes il too rich for food, and retards its
decomposition and assimilation as fer
tilizer. A ton of the meal, the bulk lett
after the oil is taken out, is worth SlS. or
nearly twice as much as a ton Of seed.

BUSINESS FAILURES.
The Largest Number In Any Week for
More Than Twelve Months.

New YORK, January 13.-R. &. Dun &
Co.'S mercantile agency report failures
throughout the country Tor the past seven
days two hundred and three, the largest
number in any week for more than twelve
months. The reason for the increase proba-
bly, is that a large number Of persons insol-
vent toward the end of 1sS1 for various
reasons contrived to hold over till after the
opening of the new year and are now trying
to compromise and open up before spring
This seems to be particularly the case in the
Southern States where the failures foot up
seventy four; in the Western States there
were fifty, in the Middle forty, in the East
ern twenty-five, on the Pacific coast seven,
a1d in New Yo k city fifteen. No failure
of particular significance occurred in New
