To the Dallas News: 1t appears to be
well understood that certain wealthy at
tlemen in Dallas are large stockholders
in the Dallas News, and it is notorious
and well-known fact that these same
wealthy men are now illegally and un-
lawfully using a strip of country along
the valley OF the Pecps river for an in
definite distance and extent, but in the
neighhorhoOd of fifty miles, also that
each alternate section Of land thus used
by line riding and loose herding belongs
to school and university funds. When
you answer or reply to this, we will have
something more to say.

Albany ~ ~ journal lRepg.
The election of 1854 is over. The Re
publican party was beaten. During the
canvass it did its duty by its candidates.
There is no theory or precedent in poll
tics which requires the party to be on the
lookout for places for those candidates,
and we presume they are both too SEN
sible men to regard themselves as per-
petual mendicants in search Of crumbs
from the party. The idea of cslisting
disease and sudden death as agencies to
win that which was lost ut the polls is
repugnant to every properly constituted
man.

In inviting emgrants to locate in Mid
land county we should not omit to urge
the low taxation as an lnducement We
have good court-house--one that will
last several years, constructed without a
cent of taxation, We are so situated that
no costly bridges need be built. No cx.
pense at all is required to keep roads in
repair. The magnificent Income of the
school fund-$6 per pupil-makes school
taxes comparatively light. No state in
the Union is so fayorably situated as re-
CARDS taxation as Texas, and no county in
the state is so favolably situated as Mid
land. Our commissioners have made u
happy departure from the practice of their
contemporaries in most West Texas couu-
ties in the matter of building court
house. IL is not uncommon that debt
of from $4,000 to 100000 is saddled
upon new county for county buildings.
But Midland's coury-houGc is puid for.

The breaking out of the civil war found
Grant, the future leader of our armies, an
obscure citizen, working industriously to sup
Fort himself and family in q small inland
town He was wholly unknown, without in
fuenoe, and apparently without ambition
He was unacquainted with men OF position
and power, and had no personal knowledge
Of great affairs. Even In his own field, the
military, his knowledge was limited. He
had never commanded more than q company
Of soldiers He had served under Scott and
Taylor, but only IS . subaltern, and had not
beep brought into intercourse with them. He
lad cast but one vote fer president, and knew
no politicians. Army officers and western
traders comprised his whole acquaintance.
Even the congressman of his own district,
who had been nine successive years in con-
gress, was unknown to him, though he after
wards became one of Grants warmest
friends.
At this time Grant was 50 years old. the
father Of four children, the eldest of whom
was II. He lived in little house on one OF
Galena's many hills, and devoted his time to
leather. Thus did the war and his destiny
find him Few Of his countrymen even knew
OF his existence. For him the future held
fame and honor in unstinted measure
wrapped in its impenetrRble folds. But nons
saw the light OF his star before it rose; none
read the riddle of his romantic destiny, soon
to reveal itself In events that were to shake
the world. he himself saw not the signs
that augured his future. He carved out his
career blindlY as all do.
