"Ill WASHINGTON LETTER. The Uowhltw; of Hoary Ward Beerher. Washington, January 2.r. The Ilymoiith orator came down m our midst yesterday to talk to us about (he "New ProteHMon." "The uew profession? What, pray, uoen lie call the new irofes- siour' we said to one another. Precisely at 8 o'clock, in Lincoln Hall, which the magic of his name had packed to overflowing, notwith standing Gender at the Opera House, ami ine reception to the delegation ot uuio editors (a brilliant anair by tho way), Mr. Beecher proceeded to tell us what the "uew" profession is 10 oe; ami, very much to our sur prise, it flashed upon us in a short time, that JUr. iicecher was trund ling along the same track over which Judge Tourgee flashed a short time since in the Jfotlh America u lie- n'ew, in his "Aaron's Hod." It likewise struck us that both these gentlemen Mere aiming arrows at the heads of our congressional solons here, with a dill'ereuce, however, Judge Tourgee shot from a distance, but he shot straight and undis guisedly at the mark. Mr. Beecher came right down under the shadow of the Capitol, but he got behind a cover to send his shaft. The new profession then, be it known, is the very old one of teach- in if the "younsr idea how to shoot Do you stare '( Do not, for it would undouotedlv be a new, a very new profession if (a la Mr. B.) we are to " make the remuneration so high. and the calling so honored and hon orable that the very wisest and best of our men our geniuses in fact can afford to go into it, as they now do, into law, medicine and theology, to make it a lile business, and io look forward to rewards as great, aud honors as lasting as these pro fessions offer to talent." In plain words ,Mr. Beecher's lecture was a plea for common schools, for free aud universal education. This, he says is the only and all-powerful pauacea for the perils that threaten the commonwealth, the dangers accruing from the great influx of foreign emigration and igno rance setting toward our shores, (he dangers which menace a people who put the ballot in to ignorant lingers, and the dan gers urrisiug iroui the formation ol classes aud castes, which Mr. Beech er calls the greatest of all dangers, and which the common schools alone can prevent. He says: liI would have the rich mau's dunce sit right by the side of the poor man's genius.' As for the emigration problem which seemed to some far seeing croakers to present so many perils, Mr. Beecher had no fears about it. The United Slates was fully able to assimilate this great ac cession and convert it into good American citizens. "Why," ex claimed he, "when a lion eats a kid, thejiou doesn't become kid the kid becomes lion." Another of his apt, quaint comparisons was in likening New York to the "Delta of Europe." The waters of great streams like the Missouri and Mississippi, "said he, gather along their immense courses, a handful of dirt here, another there, and bearing it down, deposit it all in a homogeuous mass at the mouth, where it forms a Delta very rich, but very malarious." Then after a pause which said volumns, and held laughter quivering in the air, he said, "New York is tho Delta of Europe!" The inference was obvious. No enlargement was needed. It was received 'with hilarious applause. This suggestive way of Mr. Beecher's is the crowning source of his inimi table humor. His comparisons, so wonderfully apt, so original and so perfectly laconic, are so full of un expected suggestions, one sentence from his lips strikes a dozen kindred thoughts from his listeners' brain. like tire from flint. This attribute of Mr. Beecher is very much in accord ance, with the advice I recently heard a veteran editor give an as piring young writer: "When you do get hold of a good subjcct,pray don't say everything. Leave something for the next one to say But, oh, ye shades of the "great unwashed," lor whom, not so very loug ago the. Rev Henry thought bread and water good enough three times a day, what think you of his munificent ideas con cerning the building of these com mon schools? He says: "I denounce this theory of select ing the plainest building for the common school, as the most suit able. I would choose the finest the state affords, for the children. 1 would make it the most beautiful inside and out frescoe the walls, and furnish it as Bumptiously as the rich man's dwelling, that the chil dren of the poor may see how the rich man lives, aud that they mav love the school." Think of it. Frescoed walls and bread aud water three times a day, for the "dear people" whom in this speech the orator apotheosized most distinctly. Oh, consistency, we know thou art a jewel, but we also know that thy name is not Henry Ward. T. While the Legislature is discussing the question of applying brakes to the reckless advance of railways, the San Anionio Express says: "One of the most encouraging signs of West ern Texas is the umonnt of farming implements being sold in San An touio for the country to the west of us. Wooden plows uo longer ans-ver the purpose, and tho area of land in cul tivation will soon be double or treble what it was last year. The vast piles of lumber shipped west show that improvements are going on rapidly for a new couutry, and with the building of contemplated and. as sured railroads, the whole face of the country to tho west aud south west of us will be changed beyond the recognition ol those who will re member it only as they see it uow." The Western Uuion Teleirrih Company is certainly the greediest iirvuiiiir oi oiucr corporations inai has ever existed, lu the eight years from 1853 to 18t)ti it paid out uo less thau $20,929,900 to purchase rival telegraph companies, uo less thau tweuty-three companies being thus disposed of. Among the larger com panies that have fallen victims to the Western Union are the Atlantic and Ohio. Erie and Michigan, California Slate, Missouri and Kansas, United States, I nited States racitlc, Amer ican. Amcricau Uniou. Atlantic aud Pacific and International Ocean. The Western Union Telegraph Compa ny uow includes more than sixty different corporations, the charters aud trauchises of which it owns aud uss. .v ' The report ot the emigration commissioners of New York shows that 327,371 emigrants, landed in New York Citv last year, an increase over 1879 of 186,811.

Euronraxa ladaatrlea and th Art. Kl!tor Mativniau : In the civilization of the present diy productive manufactures should go hand in hand with the agricul tural devclopmeut ot the State. Manufactures not only create wealth by the change that takes place in the produce itself, but it gives employment to skilled labor, and to that extent they make a home market for soil products and sup plies to the agriculturist manufac tured products nt a minimum of transportation. The development of some of the resources of the State by the intro duction ot manufacturing capital and skilled labor offers tempting iicias to enterprise ana capital in our State. A bill now pending before onr Legislature ror the encouragement oP manufactures of cotton and woolen fabrics and leather, oft'ers premiums iu the way of land dona tions, but why confine this offer to this special class of manufactures ? the provisions ot such a bill should be broad enough to take in all classes of manufactures that utilize raw ma terial that abounds in our State and convert it into manufactured pro ducts of great value. There is a growing feeling - among the people of Texas that all manufacturing in dustries that are producers of wealth should be liberally encouraged. Our people realize the fact that the es tablishment of manufactures make rapid additions to our population of BKiiiea laborers, while at the same time they create a home market for surplus agricultural products and greatlv increase the prosperity of the State. A very important item of interest to many who have given the subject their attention, is an exhibit of the manufactured products of Texas at the World's Fair in 1883. Public spirited citizens of Texas are anxi ous to see our State take her proper position among the other states of the nation in that exhibit, and not be again humilated as they were in 1876, at Philadelphia, by an entire want of representation before the assembled thousands who will come from every state iu the Union, as well as fro i u nil the civilized nations of the earth to examine and com ment upon what is there exhibited! Shall the people look in vain for an exhibition of the manufactures, or of the products of the prolific soil aud genial climate of Texas? No Stale development is full and com plete unless there has been a harmo nious advancement of all its pro ductive powers, a corresponding de velopment iu all directions, and while there is a btrong desire to see the full development of our agri cultural powers, our manufacturing interests should not be neglected. We have vast quarries of the finest of marble, both plain and variegated, and inexhaustablc beds of fire clay, potter clay, fullers earth and Kaolin, that are all aud each a basis from which wealth to State aud individ ual, should be accumulated aud liberal provisions for the encour agement of all such manufactures should be placed upon the statute books of our State. The manufacture of the liner quality of porcelain aud china ware is particu larly deserving of special attention. We have vast beds of raw material for manufacturing pottery ware of all kinds, from Uie common crock ery to the finest of porcelaiu china, and with the exception of one fac tory established at Laveruia, in Wil son county, for common stone ware, there's none of them that are utilized. Texas is compelled to pay tribute to other states and nations for 90 per cent of all the crockery used in the State, and for all of the china and porcelain ware, while she has with in her own borders the raw materi al to supply , the demands of the whole nation. ' The manufactory of porcelain and glass are industries that present special opportunities for the location of capital and skill ed labor to utilize the raw material so abundant in our State. As is well known to many of our citizens, there is in one of our central conn ties of this State, an inexhaustible bed ol fine kaoline, or porcelain clay, that is said by the assayer of the United States mint at New Or leans, to be superior to anything of the kind ever discovered on the continent, and ot still liner quality than that used in the manufacture of fiorcelain at Sevres, France. Mil ions ot dollars are annually sent abroad for the purchase of this class o'f goods. The exhibit from the New York custom-house' for the last three months of the year 1880, shows that there was imported $344,321 worth of this ware, in ninety days, through that office. For the single week end iug December 22, the' emportation of fine port-claim ware amounted to $35,339, and of earthen ware $25,309, aud of glass $46,177, making a total of $106,825 paid out in one week through one single custom house for material that should and can be manufactured right here in Texas. Now add the amount passing through the other custom-houses, but especially New Orleans and San Francisco, and we have a sum ex pended for foreign manufactured goods, that ' is immense and espec ially to be regretted when we take into consideration that right here in Texas we have the material in great abundance for the production of this very class of goods, and only waiting for capital and enterprise to develop. The importation of these very productions is constantly in creasing and fully keeping pace with the increase of population in our country. ' Tho increase importation of 1880 over that of 1879 was in round number $1,500,000. Now while Te have in great abundance the raw material for the manufac ture of both glass and porcelain of the tiuest kind, would it not be wisdom ou the part of our Legisla ture to make liberal provisions to induce capital to establish the much needed manufactures to utilize onr raw material? Will they do it? Altemonte. Some queer comparisons are possible in the lists of failures in New York durinsr the past vear. The bakers, the butchers and the builders who failed had liabilities, ou au average, four times as great as their assets; but the cigar sellers aud the clothing dealers bad liabili ties only about twice as great as their assets. The gross assets of the failing hatters amounted to 'more than half their, liabilities; but those of the failing flour and feed men to less thau a fourteenth part of their liabilities'. The drug failure' showed $15,276 of assets and $22,377 of; lia bilities; but the shipping trade fail ures showed $11,000 of assets. and $235,000 of liabilities. There were eleven failures of bankers and jbro kcrs, eighteen of grocers, and twenty-six of manufacturers, but Only one of plumbers. The most credit able failures, in one sense, wtre those of wooden ware men, who owed $111,361, and liad $86,611 to to pay with; whereas the provision dealers, who . owed $179,581, had only $26,837; Io pay with..,. One pawnbroker failed. The heaviest aggregate failures were in the coffee, tea and ' sugar trades, taking all combined next after them came tho iron and metal failures, and third the ciara. r f 1 ; : .'

And then afterward, when the supreme ruler, becoming absolute, controlled social ale in all its details, through uu ad nunistrative system vast iu extent and ramifications, with the general result. that iu less than two ceutu ries the indirect taxation alone "crossed the enormous interval be tween eleven millions aud three hundred and eleven millions," there came the national impoverishment and misery which resulted in the great revolution. Even the present time supplies kiudred evidence iu sundry places. A voyage up the XNiie snows every observer that the people are better off' where they are remote trom the center of govern ment where administrative agen cies can not so easily reach them.. JNorisit only under the barbaric Turk that this happens. Notwith standing the boasted beneficence ot our rule in India, the v tra burden and the complication of restraiuts it involves, have the efiect that the people find some ottne adiaceut countries preferable. Not only those who are controlled sutler from political 'organization, evils which greatly deduct from, aud sometimes exceed the benefits, numerous and rigid governmental restraints indirectly shackle those who impose them as well as those on whom they are imposed. The successive grades of ruling ageuts, severally coercing grades below, are themselves coerced by grades above; and even the very highest ruling is enslaved by the system created for the preservation of his supremacy. In ancient Egypt the daily life of t lie king was minutely regulated alike as to its . hours, its occupations, its ceromouies : so that, nomi nally all-powerful.' he was really less free than a subject. It has been, mid is, the same with other despotic inoii:ircht. Till lately in Japan, where the form of organi sation had become fixed, and where, from the highest to the lowest, the actions of life were prescribed in detail, the exercise of authority was so burdensome that voluntary resig nation of it was frequeut. Adams writes: "The custom of abdication is common among nil classes, trom the emperor down lo his meanest subject." European stales have ex emplified this reacting tyranny. "In the Byzantine palace," says (Jihbon, "the emperor was t lie first slave of the ceremonies he imposed." Con cerning the tedious court life of Louis let; rami Mine, de Maintenon remarks: "Save those only who fill the highest stations. I kiiow ot none more unfortunate than those who envy them. If you could only form an idea of what it is!" So thai while the satisfaction of men's per sonal wants is furthered both by the maintenance of order aud by the formation of aggregates large enough to permit extensive division of labor, it is hindered both by de duction, often very great, from the products of their actions, and by the restrains imposed on their actions, usually in excess of the needs. And political control ..indirectly entails evils on those who exercise it as well as on those over whom it is ex ercised. Miscellaneous.
