AUSTIN Fob. l3.-[Correspondence.l-
The bill introduced by Mr.. Lennox, of

pu, proprietors under very heavy bonds

mott minors from entering these

DALLAS AS A PORT OF ENTRY

Denver Is q port of entry. Atlanta.
another purely inland city, is also. and
whilst neither of them has the advant-
age OF Dallas in the number of whole
sale establishments, they have been
constituted ports of entry for wears.
Why should Dallas not be $50 mr.
dained" Our merchants deal with
foreign marts. They can get their goods
consigned to them from Hayre, London
Liverpool or other European ports from
which they purchase, direct, Just as
well without the Intervention of the
Galveston Wharf company as they can
with it, and save the abomination of
extra charge, which always falls on tho
consumer. Ii we had port OF entry
here the government might give us a
little more appropriation than il has vet
accorded for public building, But in.
dependent of that consideration, and
while it is very desirable that
the wharfage imposition should be
avoided yet a great pcint would be
gained If goods could be landed here,
bonded and taken out by our extensive
wholesale men as occasion demanded
upon payment of dues.
The HERALD would suggest to the
member from this district the propriety
of having this measure Immediately
sanctioned by the action ofcongress. MR..
WELLBoRN has ever been alive to the
interests of his district, ever willing to
throw the whole weight of his fine abili-
ties into any movement for the adj
vancement of his peoples interests, and
will doubtless act upon suggestion.
backed as it is by whole mercantile
community. The fact is Dallas az tho
exponent of north Texas, has outgrown
Galveston. We want goods shipped
here and bonded that will not pay trib-
ute to wharf companies. Her manu-
facturers and wholesalers wish an
equal share and do not desire TO have
an Intermediary in the way OF a MORT
bund, sand-bedevillod town whose davs
may DO numbered.

The HERALD trusts it will not be OBJ
noXious to the charge of egotism or
vanity when it says tits compIimented

FERGUSON to present his name to the
congressional delegation of the state
with the instruction to urge his appoint
ment. 1t may not be out of place to
state here, Mr.. HALL being absent from
the city, that he has been urged to Of
for several federal appointments which
he had declined, but when an endorse
ment comes from such an influential and
honorable body for an appointment of
such distinction and Importance, this
paper is not authorized to say what his
election NAV be. The editor of the HER
AID can say with truth, without know

the appointment, that no better So
lection could be made, nor would any
one perform the duties of the Office
more conscientiously or with greater
singleness of purpose to do his duties as
an officer and an honorable gentleman.
The editor of this paper reiterates that
no gentleman would reflect more honor
on the administration i n his appoint
ment, or be more satisfactory to the
Democracy of Texas.
