Blu rglary.

On last Sunday night Major Hinzie's
grocery store was broken in at the back
door and an attempt made to break open
the safe. The hinges on one side of the
door were broken, but of course nothing
further was effected thereby. The attempt
showed dense ignorance of safes on the prrt
of the perpetrators. A crow bar and sledge
hammer, we learn, were found in the room,
which the rogues taking panic we presume,
had left behind them. Repairs will not be
difficult.

GOVERNOR BROWN ON RAILWAY
LEGISLATION

WEpublsh in this issue the great speech
of john G. Brown, on the subject of railway
legislation delivered at Austin on last Mon
day the 18th inst. before the house COM
mttee ofinternal improvements. Not only
were that committee present but the house
of representatives was filled with members
rom both branches of the legislature, and
with citizens and visitors who occupied the
galleries. In a clear and distinct voice audi
BILE throughout the building, the learned
and eloquent solicitor delivered himself OF
the facts and views connected with his
theme, and from commencement to close,
held his audience throughout the hour
and a half occupied, in the most wrapt at
tention. The Information and the illustra-
ons coming from man whose long and
varied experience with the law and with leg
isation, whose many years OF close connec-
ton with railway interests and practical rail-
way management, put forth under most
methodical arrangement of sequence,
and in the frankly aggressive manner and
logical force that come of full conviction
ard the perfect understanding of ones
subject after thorough investigation, went
directly home to every mind that had come
to seek light on one of the vastest, most
complex, most intricate subjects of the day.
We have previously published a synopsis Of
this exhaustive address, and now reproduce
il verbatim. The problems discussed in
terest each and every person in this or any
other community, the farmer, the mer-
chant, the manufacturer, the politician, the
statesman, the laborer, indeed, every one
who eats, drinks and wears clothing. 1t
should be read and studied to the end that
our people may obtain the enlightenment
that has of late years only burst upon the
British, that is pervading the New England
states and, like an advancing wave, is des-
tined to come amongst us too, and sweep
away by the force of truth, the errors of the
bigot or the demagogue, tle prejudices and
the strange Misrepresentation of the more
honest min as to cur relationship with tn
great civilizer ofthe day.
