IMMIGRATION MOVEMENTS.

The colonization of Texas with i'm
territories of the Union is a matter
commencing itself to the attention of
our Southwestern Immigration asso-
citation. Some work has already been
done in this direction but it is hardly
a beginning. What is now needed is
land in large tracts tor colonization
purposes. Inquiry is already begun
for such lands, and the immigration
secretary or its directory should at
once open correspondence, or through
trusted agents seek the cooperation
of large land owners who are willing
to dispose of portion of their lands
for agricultural purposes. The open
ing of a portion of any large tract for
the cultivation of corn and cotton
would add greatly to the value of all
lands in the immediate vicinity of
those thus opened, and thus the own
ers of such lands would find decided
gain come to them as the result of
offering a portion of their large ranges
for cultivation. The time has come
when the owners of large ranges in
Texas must expect encrOachments in
the shape of farming enterprise, at
least on such tracts as are adapted to
the growth of corn, cotton, oats and
general produce. These lands will
be much more valuable for such pur-
poses than they can possible be as
grazing lands, and the income from
sales as farming lands will be greater
than that derived from cattle grow
ing. There are vast tracts of lands
fitted only for grazing and athese are
and will be out of the market for
farming purposes, but there are hun
dreds of thousands of acres within a
radius of one hundred and fifty
miles of this city now uncul-
tivaoed which would yield large
returns to intelligent, well direct hus-
bandry. Let the immigration assO-
citation keep steadily at work, seeking
out such tracts of land as are fitted
for this work and enlist the co-Opera-
ton of the holders of these lands in
opening a portion of them. Then let
agents be sent into the older states
and territories to work up colony,
and it will be demonstrated that there
are hundreds of localities in the col
der and more unfriendly climates of
the north and northwestern states in
which there will be no trouble in Sc
curing a colony of practical American
farmers, ready to make home for them
selves in Texas. Such colonies will
be the enriching of the state.

For the Maintainance of Rates.

New YORK, January S.-The New
York Times says, the big railway
clearing house scheme is to be pushed
through even more rapidly than was
anticipated. Jay Gould said yester-
day that formal meeting "for the
purpose of agreeing upon some definite
plan for permanent maintenance of
rates." would be held at II o'clock to-
day, at the residence of S. Pierpont
Morgan. Those who have signified
their intention Of attending the meet
ing are the gentlemen who met dur
ing the latter part of December, and
agreed to the restoration and maintain
ance of rates. That agreement has
already proved unsatisfactory, and
the meeting today will be for the pur-
pose of formally adopting the policy
as outlined at the informal Wall
street meeting last Saturday.

not been kept; not only have tickets
not been Withdrawn, but more have

ATreaoherous and CHASTITY Murder.

A Treacherous and CHASTITY Murder.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. S.-A dispatch
from Clayton, ILL.,, says, it has just
been learned that Norman Carter was
brutally murdered by Andrew and
Frank Jackson in.Brown county, last
Friday. The Jackson's had long had
a spite against Carter, claiming he
had been too intimate with their sis
ter. They asked Carter to meet them
in their cabin in a lonely strip of tim
Der, for the purpose of settling past
differences on a friendly basis. While
talking together, Carter was struck on
the head with an axe, by one of the
JacksOns, and felled to the floor in
sensible. The brothers then subjected
Carriers body to the most revolving
and horrible treatment and fled. Ca.
ter lay in the woods for sometime and
died Saturday night. The murderers
have not been apprehended.

Dismissed the Case.

James Ravel, a printer (?) who was
charged before Justice Heron with
swindling DR.. p. w. Johns, was tried
before this court this morning and the
case was dismissed Ravel got So
from DIR. Johns, 81 from Col. n. o.
Green and other sums on the represen-
tation that he owned a hack and one
horse. Another horse he had out at
the International and Great Northern
depot, which was shipped him from
Austin, but he lacked the money to
pay the freight and get him. Justice
Heron, in the beginning OF the case
ruled that the prosecuting attorney
must prove that Ravel did not own a
hack or horses, as he set forth, in or
der to convict his man. This the
county attorney refused to do, holding
that it was for the accused to set this
up as part of the defense. Therefore
the case was dismissed.

Pleads ignorance.

Los ANGELES, Cal, January S-Mr.
Osgoodby, author Of the famous Muir
Gibson letter, whose identity was
revealed yesterday, says he did
not, until a few days before the cor
respondence was made public, have
any conception of its Importance in a
political sense, when he did, the
thought of the far reaching effects
and possible consequence to himself
personally rather alarmed him. Final
ly however, after a conference with a
few confidential friends in Pomona,
including his two attorneys p. G..
Toner, and w. A. Bell, it was
determined to make the letters pub
lie, and on the 9th of October the let
ters were brought to Los Angeles by
Bell, acting for OsgOodby. They
were placed in the hands of Judge w.
II. Fitzgerald, member of the republic
can state central ecuGive committee
Henry r. Gage, late delegate to the re-
publican national convention, and Col.
Otis, editor of the Times, and these
three decided to publish the letters
without referring them to any commit
tees, state or national, or to any per-
sons, as the campaign was then far
advanced and further delay was
deemed impolitic. They were accord
ingly published on the 2lst of October
in the columns of the Los Angeles
Times, and soon found their way to

MUNICIPAL MONKEYING

MUNICIPAL MONKEYING
Every day, almost every hour sees
some movement Of the municipal
manmuverers calculated to insure the
success Of their intrigues for Office. Pc
titions and requests are manufactured
to give color to aldermanic candida
cies apparently in the interests of the
opposition, but actually engineered
by and for the present administration.
An apparent color is thus given to
certain candidates. as requested and
desired by the people when no such
desire or request has been spOnta-
neously or freely manifested or ex-
pressed. In some similar way will the
convention be manipulated to show a
choice which has not been.expressed,
and give the semblance of a peoples
endorsement to that of which the
people are in no sense the authors
and for which they have expressed
no preference. There is but one way
to deal with this election. Make
nominations for mayor and alderman
late in the day and make such nomi-
nations as will directly antago-
nize every nomination sanctioned
or approved by the present municipal
administration ring. The Young
Mems Reform club are carefully
studying the situation, and it is sin
cerely to be hoped that they will de-
velop the strength necessary to sue
cessfully meet the monkeying of the
very able and willy managers of the
administration canvass. 1t is not very
likely that any nominations will be
made as early as next Friday, so the
LIGHT is informed, and this is wis
dom. Let the situation be carefully
and very dispassionately considered.
Every day throws new light upon it,
and adds to the information so nee
essary to full understanding Of the
secret working of the machine, by
which the present misrule is to be
perpetuated. Every contractor, every
policeman, every employee of the
city, no matter in what capacity, will
be enlisted for this fight to the full
extent TO which such enlist ent is
possible, and nothing will be left I'M
done to secure the reelection OF the
present mayor and board of alder
men who will do his bidding. Watch
well the methods by which candidat
are induced to permit their names
to be used as aldermanic candidates.
Let opposition be made in every ward
to all parties suspected of
being friendly towards the pres
ent order of things. Let all
nominations against the ring candi-
dates, and all who are not decidedly
anti-administration are not to he trust
ed at this juncture, let all nomina-
tons opposed to the ring be such as
are unimpeachable. such as the voters
of the ward cannot but approve as fit
men and proper for the office, whether
they vote for them or not, and it will
be possible to make good fight no
matter what the result. The monkey
ing has already begun. Every citizen
should be on his guard. No move
ment should be allowed to pass un-
questioned, and the tendencies of
every candidate should be most dill
gently ferreted out. fit is not possible
to defeat the present mayor, elect with
him such board of aldermen as will
make of him merely a figure head
with veto power only and his hands
will be tied so as to prevent much of
the mischief that will otherwise fol-
low.
