False Sympathy.

Letters Of coincidence and congratu-

as drops Of balm anG apples Of gold
But written for forms sake, they are
no better than so many little pellets of

must be done because OF rule and law,
but things which have no power in
them either q soothe or TO rejoice.
And funeral swreaths and wedding
presents sent out Of politeness, not
from real feeling-what a mass OF

ago, where the flowers sent weighed

smallest love Of flowers bear TO hear Of
the waste, the sacrhcel Bloodless GER

that of the barbarous chief who has
his. horse and his dog, his wife and his
slave shot by the side Of his grave,
that their souls might bear him COM

Fifty years ago they were for the
most part Of papier mache-abomina'
tons Of every kind, with flaring color

Legislative Notes.

On Thursday Hon. John Hancock, by
request, addressed the senate committee
on internal improvements on the deep
water question.
His address, though comparatively
brief, was intensely interesting and
abOunded with facts and figures new to
nearly all, if not all, who heard the dis
tibguished gentleman. He spoke of the
vast resources of Texas and showed by
argument the absolute necessity for a
deep water port on her coast.
He commended that with such port
the farmersO year in and year
out would receive an average of 20 cents
per bushel more for their grain than now.
The hay crop of Texas, which he said far
surpassed that of Illinois and Indiana,
would find ready market at good prices,
while now it was not worth cutting except
for home use. He alluded to the immense
cotton crop of the state, and other pro-
ducts, and said that from careful COM
putations the farmers and people of Texas
lose $30,o00,C00 annually because of the
want of deep water port on the Texas
coast. He alluded to the great railway
lines stretching from the Pacific to the
Atlantic ocean, and said of course they
would oppose deep water port on the
Gulf.
He spoke of monopolies, and intimated
that the cry against them did no good.
"You and 1, '" he said, fare monopolists if
the opportunity offers. It's not the mo-
nopolies, but the laws which make monop-
oles possible, that should be guarded
against. If laws are enacted giving men
an opportunity to create a onopoly, they
will take advantage of it," He said that
he did not believe that the United States
will give Texas harbor. "The wealth of
the railroads and the wealth of New York
and other great established seaports would
combine to prevent it. They will bring
their millions to bear to prevent port on
tbs Gulf coast"
"Of course" be said "thc great north
west is with us, but then the great north
west has only got six votes out of over
300, and they will amount to nothing. l

long as thought an honest man should,

The County Road Question.
WEBBERvILLE, January 26, l

WEBBERvILLE, January 70, 1858.
To the Editor of the Statesman:
Do the people want good roads? Are
they willing to be taxed to secure them 2
These are the questions now agitating she
county and being discussed by all classes
of citizens. This extremely wet winter,
with the roads confined in lanes, as never
before known in Texas has shown new
wants in road facilities and easier trans
portation for crops to market and neces-
saries from abroad. This is new ques-
ton to many of us who have been used to
unobstruoted travel through the open
prairies of Texas for many years of our
early manhood. Many of us have no ex-
perience in the art of road building
as conducted in other states by in
| dividusl companies, counties or states
With these facts before US it is necessary
to go slow. Let the people have all the
| light possible on the subject in order to
act intelligently.
The people want the roads and good
ones and are willing to pay for them, but
they fear of rings and combinations that
may arise under either the tax or bond
system, and that they would be so con-
| ducted that 1t would require 81 for the
cormorant to get one to the road. Here
is where the trouble comes in and will be
the real trouble in securing the approval
of any road law that may be submitted to
the people for their approval, as any
change of Importance should be sub.
mitted to them. And this fear will defeat
any measure that may be submitted unless
it carries Justice and fairness on its face
In such language that the masses may
see it.
Personally, am in favor of thirty-year
bonds, or be equal on all and dividing the
payment with those who use it after us
| and securing the benefit of good roads
now, and I think there is wisdom and
honesty enough in the present legislature
to guard it in such manner as to make
1t safe to US and our children. DELHI.

Mr.. Edison does not make wonderful
inventions simply for the glory. He
probably has about as much glory as he
wants, but he hasn't as much money as he
wants. He has quarreled with his lawyer

disposed of so as to bring him more

sition seems rather Kelly. The phono-

building of a reformatory as one means

To better provide for our present and
future prison population, respectfully
submit the following:
RECOMMENDATIONS.
That provision be at once made for the
erection of at least one other penlten-
tiary, to be built with convict labor, which
might be organized when completed as
reformatory for offenders between the
ages of 16 and % on the same plan as the
Elmira reformatory in New York.
That provisions be made for the penl-
Tertiary board to purchase at least two
other convict farms to work convicts on
state account, and requiring that the net
proceeds of all such farms be devoted to
the purchase of additional farms from
time to time of like character.
A revision of the criminal laws reducing
felony offenses and increasing mlsde-
meanors and providing for working misde-
meanor convicts on the public roads.
OF course proper provision for new
penitentiary and farms would require
considerable appropriations, but the
necessity nevertheless exists, and I feel
cannot longer be postponed.

OF this article by the Intelligent reader.

which the forked Lightning plays when

a few years ago young man named
Caspar Weidpants, residing in Asbury

boarding house, counting his weeks

should divide Il equally among him

and little TO his landlady. or take it
all to hire horse and narrow bu V
and take proud but wealthy heiress
out to drive. At that instant a bolt Of
lightning struck the corner of large
house in Long Branch, not more than
seven or eight miles away, and the
young man never thought Of his tailor
or bis landlady again. They often
thought of him, but nobody ever found
out where he went.
