Prcsrtss Of Texas.
From the New YORK worId.l

From the New York World.l
Houston. Tex, October 24.-As
yOu know the State of Texas con-
tains about 1T5,OOO,OO0 acres Of
land, and its boundaries are the
Red and Sabine Rivers on the
northeast and east, the Gulf Of
Mexico on the South, the Rie
Grande on the west. New Mexico
and the Indian Territory forming
its northwestern and northern
boundary. To enable you to form
an idea of its growth in wealth and
population, | will make a COM
parison between the State as It is
to-day in 1882 and AS it was In
lo'2, ten years ago, when railway
building first commenced and at
which time capital and immigration
began to have their attention di.
reeted toward it. Texas in 1872
contained a population of $4,000
souls, these living principally in
the coast counties or near the navi-
gable streams, and a small proper
tion who had "pushed 0utn into
the northern part of the State and
were engaged in cattle raising.
The numerous pineries bordering
on Arkansas and Louisiana were
unbroken. The towns were few
and far between. Dallas had
about $4,000 inhabitants. Fort
Worth was a frontier trading post,
and Galveston had onlya popula
of some $4,000. The Houston and
Texas Central Railway was laid
some 200 miles north of Houston,
the money for its construction be.
ing principally earned by the road;
the international Railway had little
more than commenced grading,
and sixty-four miles of road after
wards called the Texas and Pacific
Railway, had been built from
Shreveport, La, to Longview, Tex
as, north and west of the Sabine
and Trinity Rivers. The praries
of Texas were immense pasture
grounds, on which thousands of
cattle were grazing. In the east
ern portion of the State, Marshall
and Jefferson were small towns
where planters marketed their
cotton crop, hauling it by wagon
distances of 800 and even 400
miles. The total number of bush
els of cereals raised was q, 1900, 900
and of cotton about 100000 bales.
The total assessment was some
thing over S1OO,OOO,OOO. Texas
now possesses q population of
100000 persons, and a total as
sessment of about 9550,0OO,00 !;
the crop of cereals this year will
reach s52,OO0,00O bushels, and the
production of cotton will be about
100000 bales.

Charles A. Dana says, speaking
for the Conklings: "Chandler is
the next friend of the whole crew
of venal adventures in the South
who have been taken up at Wash
ington by the Administration and
lifted over the heads of old-fashion-
ed and faithful Republicans. He
is chiefly responsible for the shady
bargains By which these social and
political outlaws found favor at
the White House. 1t was on the
strength of his representations
and those of Editor Gorham that
the President came to believe that
a Republican majority in the next
Congress could be secured by
these dishonorablc coalitions

Holly Springs, Miss, Nov. TO-
Great excitement was caused on
the streets last evening by the at
tempted assassination of Hannibal
c. Carter, the Republican eandi-
date for Congress In this district,
in the campaign just elosed. His
vould-be murderer was W. II.
Bruton, the United States deputy
marshal who ran away with the
Jacksonville ballot box. BrutOn
is a Greenbaeker, aud came to
this city last year from Nashville,
Tennessee, 10 take charge of
newspaper started here in the in.
terest of the Greenbsck party.
The paper soon died, and Bruton
left the city. Yesterday evening,
about five o'clock, he met Carter
in the north side of the Court
House yard, and stopped him with
the question; "Did you call me a
liar ~ Carter, who had not spO-
ken to Bruton, answered: "No,
sir, ! did metz Bruton then sprang
up the courthouse steps, drew a
revolver, and with an oath, fired
at Carter, who was standing but a
few feet away. He sprang aside,
and the ball missed him. Bruton
attempted to fire again, and Carter,
who was unarmed, took refuge in
the courthouse. Meanwhile some
one rushed up aud seized Bruton's
arm, thus preventing him from f.
ring a second time. When arrest.
ed Bruton said that it was his in.
tention to kill Carter, and that if
he had been allowed to fire a Sec
ond time he would have killed
him. The case was set for trial
before the Mayor this morning.

lIannIng's Defeat Does not Affect
Lamar.
FrOm an AppsaI C0rrsspondent.

From an Appeal Correspondent.
Oxford, Miss, November IA
And ChalmerS's election has been
conceded, beating Manning more
than 1000 votes in a district that
is largely Democratic. Having no
newspapers in his district to help
him, making fewer speeches than
his opponent, and the probabilities
are he cost his party less money.
What does it meant Even Lafay-
cite county, the home of Lamar.
gave Chalmers $50 majority. Does
this signify that lamar is losing
strength! No, we think Lamar is
more popular to-day, if possible,
in the second district than at any
other time in his political career.
1t simply means q rebuke from
cool heads to the misdlrected en-
thus'asm of a few of Colonel Man.
nlng's friends who attempted to
conduct the campaign aud dictate
to others just how they should
vote. The balloting was light
throughout the district. This we
attribute to the unpopularity of
our candidate. Manning, though
a good and able man, with the help
of few of his friends rendered
himself very unpopular several
months ago, and his nomination
was grand mistake. This is the
first time our district has gone
against the Democratic nominee
for many years, and we firmly be-
lieve that either Morgan or Howry
could have carried it by 5000 ma
jority, without even making can
vass. Morgan carried DeSoto for
Manning by 133 majority, against
a large negro vote, while Manning
and his friends were beaten in
Marshall (his own county, by 1850.

Capt. Burton, The celebrated ira
veler, has reported that almost
illimitahle gold can be obtained at
the Gold Coast, Africa, district
vkich has been suriferously pro-
life for ceatmies. He says the
region is equal to half n dozen CAL
ifornia. This Testimony is supper
ted by Commander Cameron, who
visited aud investigated the Gold
Coast along with Capt. Burton.
Gold is found in the sea sand, in
the dust of the roads, and in the
mud walls of native huts. Several
mining companies are engaged in
gold finding in the district, and
they testify to the great possibili
ties it affords. A subject of such
Importance has, of course, been
widely discussed in England and
by this time large numbers of pros
pectors are doubtless verifying
matters on the spot.
There are maay difficulties in
Africa that 90 not confront the
gold diggers OF California and Aus
tralia. The climate has its dan
gers; the inhabitants are savages;
the rulers suspicious and hostile
to strangers. But where abund-
ant gold is to be got with ease

NihilistIc Revival In Russia.


st. Petersburg, November IL.
It is not q secret here that the Nj
hilists have lately opened, as it
were, a new campaign. Their or
gan, the Will of the People, after
a prolonged silence, has again
made its appearance. In a recent
issue there is found the following
editorial "After the memorable
event of March 13, 1881, we have
temporarily withdrawn from the
political arena in order to give the
new Gar an opportunity to en-
force quietly onr demands. He
ought to convoke the representa-
tives of the people and to solemn
ly return them the sovereign pow
er, to whom it rightfully belongs.
Should he have done that, we
would gladly abandon our revolu-
tionary measures, for we are per-
fectly willing to abide by the deci-
sions Of the peoples representa-
tives, rightfully and freely elected.
Over year and half has passed
since the catastrophe of March,
and yet Alexander III, the un-
crowned Gear, sticks to the shad-
ow and shreds of imperialism; he
imagines himself to be an auto
crat, while in fact he is a mere
puppet and prisoner in the hands
of a band of corrupted and selfish
courtiers. Our country is in dan
ger of ruin. In the name of the
people we rise to sweep away the
shamgovernment of the cowardly
and uncrowncd Czar.'

Q7,O0O,0O0,OO0. That is about a
seventh of the estimated wealth of
the United States, WIN. Ii. Van
derbilt is supposed to be worth
$50, 100000. This would make
him the possessor of about 1-46th
part OF all the wealth of the En-
pire State, and of about 122d part
of that of the whole country. That
is to say that in a population of
over 50,O00,000 of people in tho

wealth the Importance of nearly
100000 men.

Removing the CaDitOl.

A few years ago it was the fashion among
certain clique of politicians, whose utter
ances were echoed by portion of the press,
to clamor for the removal of the Capitol from
Washington to some representative Western
city near to the geographical centre of the
country. The topic seemed to prove a seven
days wonder, however, and was soon forgot
ten in the rush and requirements of the Ma
TONS urgent business. Now whether the
Capitol will ever be removed or not is not
near so interesting question to some peo-
pie as whether rheumatism can or will be
removed from their bodies. The subject of
the removal of this disease from the system
has very successfully interested myriads of
people, and from the extended expressions
conveyed by the almost innumer-
able statements received from representa-
tives of every class of the community, we
append the following brief selection, premis-
ing for the benefit of the reader that the dis
ease referred to is rheumatism or neuralgia
