THE United States Grand Jury in St.
Louis has demonstrated that stupendous
frauds were perpetrated in the recent
elections in that city. The ballot-box
was the subject of outrage there of the
most monstrous character. The boxes
were stuffed, voters were intimidated,
fraudulent counting was done, repeating
was common, and SO on down long list of
iniquities that robbed freemen of the most
sacred right they are supposed to possess.
Now let the disclosures be followed by
searching out of the criminals and their
prompt and severe punishment, that other
knaves may be warned of the danger there
is in tampering with the exercise of
sovereignty by the American elector.

The New York Times charges the
Democracy with being thick-headed, slow
and stupid and sadly lacking in leader
ship. The C0urier-Journal, a vigorous
Democratic partisan, demurs TO the prece-
dent allegations, but confesses that there
is justice in the final criticism. So seldom
do political opponents voluntarily meet
upon the level, that this frank concurrence
is refreshing.

Mr.. NIMMo, the well-known statistician
and whose means of knowing the actual
condition of our coast defenses areas broad
as those of any, has written letter to an
Eastern journal, pointing out the danger
ously exposed condition of the port of San
Francisco. He shows that it is about the
only safe harbor between Cape Flattery
and San Diego; that it represents very
great property values, liable to construction
or Unreasonable injury by large
foreign ship of war lying hull down out
side the port, and beyond the range of any
fixed guns. To properly equip present
fortifications, erect more further seaward,
and to build and equip a floating battery
that could operate outside, would cost, he
estimates, nearly 2S,0OO,060. But this
large sum dwindles into comparative in
significance when marshaled beside the
vast property values at stake, and abso-
solutely disappears when the political
significance of the situation is viewed
from a naval standpoint Here then is an
excellent opportunity for disposal of some
part of " the surplus the disposition of
which so much concerns our Eastern
statesmen and politicians.

TRANSFORMATION and Markets.

Cheap and rapid transportation is of the ut
most importance to those who are both producers
and consumers. It cheapens all that he buys
and enhances the price o. all he produces. The
" LANGFORD COLONY" is most advantage
ously situated in this respect 1t is between two
railroads that both connect with steamboats,
that run from the Sacramento aud San Joaquin
points to the Golden Gate. This gives the cheap
est freight and passenger rates for the distance
on this Coast. The markets for all kinds of pro-
ducts are good. The Canneries, Wineries and
Fruit Dealers take all the Fruit raised, at highly
remuneratiye prices. There is an unlimited
demand for all the Wine, Raisins, Figs Prunes
Green Dried and Canned Fruits that can be
grown. Dairy Products, Fowls, Eggs and Vege-
tables find ready SALE Every acre of this land
when in bearing Fruit Trees or Vines will net

GoLIAD, Tex, August 20, 1856.
A terrific wind storm visited our town
and vicinity this morning. The wind
began blowing a heavy gale at about Z
O'Clock q. IN. and continued until about
1880 or s O'Clock, when it reached the
fury OF hurricane, which lasted for
nearly three hours with considerable
rainfall.
Ii Is impossible to estimate the extent
Of the damage at this time, nearly every
stable and clubhouse in the town is
blown down, besides many dwellings
and business houses were unroofed and
some totally destroyed.
The two-stOry business house belong
ing to G. ii. Baker, druggist, is almost
totally destroyed. Nearly every bust
ness house in town is ,, ore or less in
jured.
The Episcopal church is mass OF
ruins and the Methodist church badly
damaged. Several head OF stock have
been Killed by the falling barns.
The storm scarcely left wind mill
standing in this vicinity.
Many of the live eaks in the streets OF
the town for which Golisd Is SO famous,
have been literally torn up by the roots.
A large tree near the house of MIR. +.
NewsOme, blew against the house,
crushing it in and severely injuring Mrs.
Newsome.
No lives lost SO far as heard from.
Mr.. Goff, merchant liyirg about 10
miles in the country, had the roof of his
store-hOuse blown off, and many fami-
lies on the road between here and VIC
toria are rendered homeless.
The mail driver from here to Beeville
started as usual at 6 O'Clock this morn.
ing with the mail for Beeville, but was
caught In the storm about five miles out
from GolIad, and his hack thrown over
on his horses and himself, badly hurt:
cotton crops in the path Of the storm
are completely destroyed.
rhe monument erected here about
one year ago by the citizens, in honor
Of Captain Fannin and his comrades
was blown down and badly broken.
Fortunately for those whose houses
are unroofed, the rain did not continue
long and the present. prospect Is that
they may get their goods removed to
shelter before further damage is done
by water. r. Z. p.

Independence Meetings.

A joint meeting was held at Villa
nueva's saloon last night by the Benevo-
lencia and Mutualista societies for the
purpose of hearing the report Of the
committee OF arrangements for the In
dependencia celebration to be held at
San Pedro park.
Speeches were made by Juan 4. Car
denas, John C. Crawford, Juan K. Bar
rera and Manuel Sierna. Captain Car
denas' speech, was, perhaps, the hottest
OF all, and dealt In no very polite terms
of the master workman Of the Mexican
assembly Knights Of Labor, Manuel
Lopez. The Mexican assembly, 1t is
said, was offered sum OF money to Gel
citrate with these two societies at the
Springs, and their refusal to do this has
called forth considerable wrath and ILL
feeling. A meeting of the Junta Pa
triotica, 1.-THE opposition, composed OF
the Mexican assembly and three other
societies, who will celebrate at TESTS
garden), will be held tomorrow night
at Krisch's ball and some lively speeches
from this side may be heard.

Seizing the Horseman.

A young man who had evidently i'm
bibed too freely, rode up to the Two
Brothers saloon on Saturday and hitch
ing up his horse, went inside. There ne
became noisy and some what outrageous.
He was requested TO leave, and a strong
hint given that II he did not do so he
would be put out. He went outside,
mounted his horse and sported about in
such way as 10 endanger the lives,
limbs and property of citizens. Officer
Seffel requested him TO desist, but he
would not and told him that il was none
Of his -- business. Then Seffel
caught hold Of him, pulled him off the
horse, and was about to take him to the
bat cave when an influential citizen
went on his bond, and the man rode Off
hurriedly, being considerably toned
down by the arrest.
Some OF the friends of the arrested
man seemed TO think that Sefiel had no
right to make the arrest, but there can
be no doubt that the officer was perfect
ly justified in what be did, and did his
duty discreetly and well.

His Punishment fastening.

Officer James Stevens yesterday after
noon came across rather well dressed
Mexican lying on the sidewalk on Lare-
do street, and picked him up. He found
the man was very i'll, and was in the last
stages OF consumption. He could not
speak, but when taken to the police sta
ton and laid upon cot, he pointed to
his coat pocket, and when that was
opened, full pardon, bearing Governor
1reland's signature, was drawn forth.
The paper stated that Panfilo BalterIno
was convicted OF murder and had been
under sentence for 81 and SO years, for
murder.
Parties who know the circumstances
say that Panfilo was sent up from Nav
eriok county nine years ago, together
with another Mexican and an American
named Berry, who were killed near Car
RIO. PanfilO's partner in the crime Is
yet serving out his sentence, while he,
on account OF his near approach to death,
is granted conditional pardon. He SAYS
he has been in the city four DAYS, but
knowing no one, and having no place to
go, has lain about the streets, until OF
ticer Stevens found him. He was glad
to find place of shelter, even II IL is
under the roof Of court ofjustice of the
country whose laws he has so grossly
outraged.

director, informs the LIGHT that he has

larged to accommodate 500 people. Sea-
son tick It's for each concert, except the

In his efforts to give the people of San
Antonio one of the finest musical treats

met with many difficulties. but these he
has had the courage and skill to sur
mount. and there can be little doubt
that the music-loving citizens will not

the tickets that now remain unsold.

ceeded to st. Mary's church. The scene
during the funeral service was very pa
thetic and brought tears to the eyes Of

old friend, the veteran, Dan Rice, was
sorrowful and tear-stained, and the
priest wept. At the grave side when
taking final leave of the slowed and
lost" heart-rending sobs were heard.
just after the coffin was lowered into
the grave, the bright-eyed three-year
old daughter Of the dead mother, broke
from her grandfather's (Dr. A. H..
Bailey arms, and rushing up to her
grief-stricken father, said patheticalIy {:
