dinary carefulness.
Twent.y-eight vesols, lelonging to, or bound

the month of HooPtemnber viz: Three -teamers,
four ships. two harks. IIV( brigs and fourteen
ciQoonors. Value excluselve of cargoes estimated
at $)na5,00).
In Germany. Insurance officers, nd thel In
urrance pres's are opposing the ereition of an
Insurance D)eprartment. In this country they
,are, after having tried it, b,-ginning to c('.ll for
the abolition of the Official Department. In
both case they are wise.
At the stated mneting of the Board of Fire
Commissionrs vllterdaiv, It was reportal that
the condition of the hose belonaing to the
various com)panits wtsW as a. whole. unsatisfao
tory. A'cenily much of it had hurst in service,
ond at the burning of Hhollinbtergr's moroccrn
factory, a Ru'lpi of wicks Iago damaging delay
was aLused by the bursting of the hose. One
cart alone lost liftv sections at two firs.-[lPhil

wherefore? Why s',ould people other them
selves about the means of prevention when thiey

The sitnation of the fire insulrance iusiness
in Now York city Is in a deplorable condition.

HAN ANTONIO. TEXAS. I
October 21, 1877. 1
Editor' )ire'crat--The district, court during
the past week has boon occupied with
THE CRIMINAL DOOKET.
Colhaith, for the murder of Ed Lapinglon
(colored) was found guilty of murder in the
first degree and sentenced for life to the peni
tentiary. Wasson. for the murder of Onarles
Woodson, was found guilty of manslaughter
and senteneed for two yroars only. Both were
tried by intelligent juries and the findings wore
in full ncordanco with the law and ovhilence.
Whilst the latter trial was on a murder was
commitltd on our streets. the first In along
period. 'The law seems to have few terrors for
evil-doers.
SUICIDE
Is much more rife. The last case was Major
Herndon a most highly esteeoomed gentleman.
In the last, twelve ms nbhs a complete revolu
tion has taken pivne' In the style of building,
and the appearance of this city. The ,ound of
the hamloer is heard everywhere, and citizens
as well as st rangers are astonished at. the n umn
her of splendid huildings just complhted. in
Iprocess of erection, and tar which bids are In
vited.
BUsINESH Is IN A VERY HEALTlY (CONDITION.
and a failure among our mrnrchants is a rare
event. There are few mushroom fortunes, the
result of speculat ion; but. much diffused wealth
acquired by le itimate t radi and well applled
industry in all other pursuits. The men of
Western 'ltexas are not afraid of work. The
boys take hold of the plow. drive their own
teams anld tire not dependent on the dairkey to
workthoeir hleds. It is true that in this neighbor
hood stock raising has heretofore been almost
the sole pursuit. but y, ar by year the cultiva
tion of the land is superseding the aAst oral con
dition and the land is being fast Illosod and
settled. The great stock ranches and sheep
walks are going farther west.
THE WOOL nIIUINESR
is becoming dally a more important interest in
Western Texas. and this city markets a large
Sortlon of the olip. The accumulation of capi
tal at this point is no' yet sufficiently great, and
finds too many other channels of profltable in
vestment to allow us to hope for the immediate
utilization of the splendid watArr power of our
river. But with the raw material at our doors
factories will soon be built, if not by home, by
foreign alpiltal. Our little neighbor,. Now Braun
fels, Is already profitably manufacturing woolen
goolss.
The protracte I drouth of four months has at
length been Iroken by fine ratls; too late to do
much good. I fear, to the grass: hbut. vitally im
portant to general f rm Interests. Western
Texas is at last recriving a large proportion of
the emigrants tpouring into the State. And this
proportion would be much greater but for the
disturbed condition of
OUR RIO f(RANDE FRONTITER.
It is of the last importancef to Western Texas
t hat the national governmolelt send more troiops
to the Rio Grande and purcue all raiding par
ties. if necessary, into Mexico. The insecurity
of human life and property is so great thai not
only is immigration arrested, but our people
are actually being driven out of the country.
G(ov. Hubbard is making every preparation to
defend the State should the general government
Drove derelict, and Ia crisis seems imminent. A
war, howvever, I trust may be avoided, as it could
prove only lehss detrimental than the present
.murders alnd robberies by the Mexican desper
adoes and their Indian allies. I trust Texas
and her Bouthorn sisters are no longer to remain
mere step-daughters of the national govern
ment, but hereafter to receive the same protec
tion of their rights and interests as the North
ern and Western States. Here is a first-rate
opening for Mr. Hayes to air his Southern
policy. _. _ L. F. D.

Bad Weather and Poor Croie-The Con
slltutlonal Convention Question
sslarles, Etc.
[Special Correspondenoe of the Democrat.]
PLAQUEMINE, October a5. 1877.
Edit'r 'Democraf-Bad weather is again our
cry. It has been raining n early all day here
without prospect of a clear up. This is bad for
our sugar planters, and sets back the already
injured prospects for a crop. Very few of those
who have stat ted their mills in this section have
been able to make sugar so far and the turn
out of syrup is poor. We hope for a mild win
ter that we may yet realize something of the
fine prospect for sugar we had last sum
mer. but th, se who have heavy crops carnot
risk the weather, and so must grind, good or
bad yield of -yrupor sugar.
The subject of
A CONVENTION
to change our constitution is the topic in the
minds of the thoughful now but all ire not of
one mind on the subject. 1o one denies the
necessity of a new organic law. but many doubt
the need for an immediate change as many so
persatently urge. That we need a convention
to effect this purpose is also doubted.
However. I think we need not be in as greata
hurym asone half of thee aow m oa
s 1ls tf go so
actlon of mý t . rfGon dtr eb*
bout at roon
henever e go about changing our organti
law we wil find much to change but I eannot
agree with soime, and notably .r. Le.wis, of
Opelousas, that we can got relief by eutting
dwwn the salaries of our offl rs indlscrim
nately. There are, loubtlene, many perquisites
that should b) lopped off, but oo8000 for our o(v.
ernor is not too much.
Again aioee for the Auditor ls little enough.
The nosition is a resposible one and to be well
flled, should he, as now, filled by an honnet.
capable accountant of experience and judgment.
Men of such qualifications get $fooo and more
in less responsible positions all 1over the coon
ir ut lsve all. Mr. Editor, let us not he stingy
when it comes to the question of securing
A JDIICIAEY.
We need good, pure, capable and exporiene'd
men for Ijudges, and we should not only pay
them goode orices. but we should throw around
them everything cialculted to dignify their po
sit lons. We need the best talent the bar canl
give for presiding oficArs for our courts, but
we cannot get it for ee00, a year. Many lawrers
make that in a single case, at their Case. Why
sholll we set down their merits when they con
sent to serve us in the responsible and laborious
position of judge?
