After all the fence cutting is no
new thing in In Texas. In times past
there were not these great pastures
enclosed with wire fencing. Planta-
tons Of some hundreds of acres, rare
ly OF more than thousand acres,
were under fences. almost altogether
made OF wooden rails. Everybody
who ever had anything to do with a
large farm, or q plantation, knows
that the fences around them were
constantly thrown down by persons
passing through them. People pre-
ferred TO go through five hundred
acre field rather than 60 aronnd it,
and they prefer now to go through
ten thousand acre pasture rather than
go around it. The throwing down
and leaving of a rail fence is Just as
bad as the cutting Of a wire fence.
Both are unlawful. The solution OF
this trouble is TO make a general, not
q local option herd law, and to open
plenty of roads, make all county lines
public ways and require plenty Of in
tersecting roads. Then the man
who cuts or throws down q fence
should be subjected to severe penal
ties.-Statesman.

started the fence cutting. 1t is O

Foot Wallace is said to be the man
who worked up the people to do the
cutting. He is also said to have tax

that has been done in Medina County.
Wallace is now very old man, but
he has considerable vitality left. He

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondo nt,
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1. 1883.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1. 1883.
Congress has been away from
Washington during the holidays, but
politics has known no rest. The
committees have been discussed, and
their personnel denounced or praised
according to the political or selfish
bias of the individual. The weight
of comment is, however in their
favor and it is doubtful if any other
distribution could have given as
much satisfaction and SO little offense.
Mr. Morrison, the Chairman of the
Ways and Means COMMITTEE, has ex.
pressed views on the tariff question
through the medium of an interview,
and MIR. Hewitt, the most prominent
Eastern member on the same COM
mittee, has given his views to the
world in a letter to the Albany Argus
From their expressions it is evident
that the Western and Eastern demo
cracy are in practical accord on the
all important question now before
the country, Their accord means a
careful and prudent reduction of the
tariff by placing the raw materials
that are used in our manufactures on
the free list by removing the tariff
from sugar, salt, and articles of COM
mon everyday use; and by reducing
duties to a necessary revenue and
lightly protective basis.
A curious but not unexpected re-
suit of the introduction Of this real
and vital question into politics, has
been the total eclipse Of state is

Gabriel's trumpet with nm improved

New Years day was celebrated II
the usual way in Washington. The
President was assisted in receiving
1000 or 5000 callers by ladies promi
nent in cabinet, official, and social
circles.
Army and Navy officers called in
full dress uniform, with sword, and
opaulets and gold braid. The repre-
sentatives Of foreign governments
also wore the full dress OF their re-
spectivo courts, and, when all these
wero assembled in the east room, with
ladies in exquisite toilet the scene
was ono of dazzling splendor. The
Marine Band was stationed in an
ante-room and played selections from
Mendelsohn, Weber, and Sullivan
during tho ceremony of the recep-
ton. Perhaps the most interesting
part of the reception was that of two
or three thousand people who had
waited until titled and official person
ages had presented their respects
to the President. At two o'clock the
doors were opened to this vast crowd
and the shopkeeper the artizan, the
hack driver, tho barber, the milliner,
the chambermaid, and other honest
or dishonest unclassifed people,
white, buff, and black, pressed for
ward to clasp the Presidential digits
and tramp the rich carpets of the
White House. Here was such a
scene as could be seen nowhere else
in nations, while great or little, and it
was paltry in itself, it was in GER
tain sense a recognition of the princi-
pie Of human equality, and typical of
D freedom (some would call it license)
such as no other people in the world
enjoy. England and France are call
ed free countries, and are so praised
by publicists and statesmen of all
ands. But, if Queen Victoria should
lold such reception an Irish mob
would yank her off the throne, and
President Grevy would not dare a
ike experiment without posting regi-
nents of soldiers in the Place de
Joncorde, and about the Arch OF Tri-
lmph.

OF fences. Every county in the State
has suffered for this "mania.' Gal
weston Island has proven no excep-
ton. From tho amount OF commu.
nications appearing in tho daily papers
II seems the people arc thoroughly
aroused upon the subject. I find up
on conversing with members from
differect parts Of the State that in
some counties the land market is act
ually paralyized, and there is no de-
mand for it at at any price, while in
others it is regarded at standstill,
but will continue to increase in value
il the Legislature properly disposcs OF
the subject. The speaker has not
yet decided whether he will refer the
bill relating to fence cutting to the
Committee on Stock and Stockraising
or tho Committee on State Affairs
probably both. Already the subject
is being vigorously discussed around
the hotel Hobbies; everyone entertains
different opinions on tho subject and
has remedy to propose; but the
members are unanimous that some |
kind of compromise will be made |
to suit the different sections of the
State and still make the Legislation
effective. If that is 80, the session
will expire at the end of thirty days

single called session.
Judging from the past it is safe to
