It is stated that in many of
the Northern States greac inter

chanics, tanners and laboring

' -v 'So far as we have seen the
noustoirlye is the only news
piper in Texas that docs not
heartily approve of and fully
endorse the masterly speech of
Senator Tool bees. In the eoti
inattun ot tho Age all the news
papers of the State are astray on
the financial question.
Thk famous $50,000 cow
which created so much talk ir.
this country a lew years ago,
has found a rival .in point of
proportionate pecuniary worth
in a $502 rooster, The English
Agricultural Gazette is respon
sible for the assertion that a
game cock was recently sold for
the above excessive price.
A jiecttso was held in New
York, at which the following
trades unions were represented:
Bricklayers, philters, machinists,
blacksmith1, ciispins and eigar
makers. Resolutions were
'" adopted asking that Congress at
once abolish the national banks
and pass the Bland Silver bill
"without nmendment. and also
repeal the resuinptiuu act.
Houston's Texas "Western
Railway is in much the same
condition as another railway
that the Hon ;ton papers delight
in poking tun at. The old
board ot directors of the T. W.
R. are waiting tor the new pur
chasers of the road to do some
thing, and the new purchasers
are waiting for the old board to
do something, so both ot them
arc waiting.
A meeting ot the Board of
Directors ot the Gulf, Colorado
and Santa Fe Railroad was
held in Galveston on Friday
evening. Several bids were
presented to construct the road
to Brenham and Beltou,one ot
which was incomplete, and at
tho request of tho party further
time was given, and the board
adjourned -to the call of the
President
A writek in the Ilonston Age
complains that railroad com
panies sell immigrant tickets to
pr'neipal points like Galveston,
Houston and Austin, and that
after the imirant arrives at
such place he is compelled to
pay regular local fare at the
rate of five cents a mile to
reach his ultimate destination.
This, the writer thinks, is
wrong, nnd aks that Texas
railroads remedy the evil.
TnE Ilouston Telegram, re
gards the passage ot the silver
bill as a forgone conclusion,
and remarks, by way ot paren
thesis, that srold has sunk to
101$ in New York, the lowest
point for many years, and this,
too, despite the hues and cries
of the moneyed oligarchy of the
North, who would have the
dear people believe that the
remouetizatinn of silver would
but result in a higher premium
for gold".
A Washington special to the
Galveston News, dated January
19th, ftatc3 that the Secretary
of War reports Confederate
army records -in 'print to the
end of 1871, and recommends
the publication ot all in posses
sion of the government entire,
and as rapidly as possible, so
that they may be made,nvailable
for general historical use. lie
a.-ks aii appropriation to con
tinue the arrangement of these
and of Federal records, and that
an oxtra number bo printed and
sold at a nominal price.
The VicksbnrgJTieraZef says:
There are several persons in
this city affected with" Texas
fever, and every day we have
calls tor papers from that State.
It thinks that all who contem
plate moving to Texas should
thoroughly inform themselves
of the situation and know ex
actly where and what they are
going to do when they get
here. Texas has plenty of room
for all comers, provided they
are ready and willing to work
on tarms. Adventurers and
idlers had better stay away.
As an evidence that adver
tising pays, it is stated on good
authority that Dr. Tutt, whose
pill ad. appears in the Banner
and nearly every other paper
in the State, paid tho newspa
pers over 100,000 for advertis
ing last year. He has, of course,
sold pills enough to pay for all
this, and has a handtome sur
plus. The idea of the enormous
quantity of pills that have been
swallowed, makes one feel a kind
of a weakness in the epigastric
region.
The British Parliament mot
on Thursday. The Queen in her
message, says, the Russian suc
cesses convinced the Porte that
he should endeavor to bring the
war to a cloe. She will spare
no efiort to bring tho war to a
close. Hitherto, in the war,
neither ot the belligerents has
infringed the conditions on
which her neutrality is founded
and she willingly believes that
both are desirous to respect them
so tar as it is in their power.
She expresses thanks that the
famine in India is ended. Her
relations with all foreign powers
continue friendly.
A wink is as good a a nod to
a blind liorse. The Galveston
Civilian could print a better
j)a)t!r.
BRENHAM, WASHINGTON COUNTY, TEXAS. FRIDAY, JANUARY 25,
Institute ot Learning fur the Blind.
"We have received the annual
report of Dr, Frank Rainey,
Superintendent of the Texas In
stitution of Learning tor the
Blind at Austin, for tho fiscal
year ending August 31, 1S77.
Dr. Ralnoy calls especial atten
tion to the fact that this insti
tution is not in any sense an
asylum, as the blind are not
received here simply to be taken
care ot by the State, but that
it is nothing more or less than
an "Institution of Learning" or
a "Free School tor the Blind,"
where these untortnnata? arc
educated at the public expense,
the same as seeing children are,
at the ordinary free schools. A
strong appeal is made in favor
of the blind, who are particu
larly helpless. At this institu
tion they are educated and
learned a trade or profession
by which they are made self
supporting. The buildings have been put
in a fair condition of repair.
The ordinary branches of a com
mon school education 'are
taught; also, music. The boys
are learned broom, pillow and
mattress making, the girls bead
work, tewing, cutting, etc. The
progress of the boys is wonder
ful as compared with the ad
vancement made in other
sc'iools. During the past ses
sion sixty-five pupils, twenty
eight males and thirty-seven
females, -were admitted. There
nre forty-five blind children of
suitable ages in the State, who
are not in school. The Legis
lature from an oversight failed
to make an appropriation to
enlarge the building?. The to
tal expense ot the institution
for the year was 516,921.99.
There are many interesting
features in the report.
Congressional.
Washington, Jan. ll.Sena'c

tion of inter-State commerce by

Washington, Jan. 18. Senate
Unimportant business occ.ni
Sied the morning hour. Mr
atthevs' silver- bill was taken
up. Mr. Mcrriman, of North
Carolina, Fpoke in favor of it.
Mr. Maxey, of Texas, also spoke
in favorofthe bill. lie said he
would vote for the pending res
olution cheerfully, becauso he
oeiieved the weltarc ot the peo
ple imperatively demanded it.
Adjourned to Monday.
House. The political disa
bilities ot Charles L. Scott, ot
Alabama, were removed. An
hour was spent on private bills,
and eulogies were pronounced
on the late Senator Morion,
after which the House adjourned
to juonaay.
Ben Hii.i., ot Georsrin, having
come ont in opposition to the
silver bill, his constituents have
concluded it nothing but fair
that they should come ont in
opposition to him. The Savan
nah News, in referring to Mr.
Hill, says :
Not only have Mr. JJilPs pe
culiar financial viows, as ex
pressed in that interview, been
almost universally repudiated
by our people, but'leading Dem
ocrats have successfully contro
verted them in unanswerable
nrguments, while the prev?, with
scarcely an exception, bas re
pudiated his course on the silver
remonetizing question, Koine go
ing even so far as to invite him
to resign a position in which he
niisreprefcnts the sentiments
and opposes the true interests
not onfy of his own immediate
constituency, but ot the great
mas3 of the people of the coun
fy.

A opdeial to the London
Slnnilar.l from Constantinople
says many rumors are current
m regard to the attitude ot the
Great Power. It is said tho
Grand Vizier assured the Ger
man Anib.i-fl.idor that the Porte
had determined to make peace
with Russia, leaving any power
which objected to the conditions
to settle the matter with Rus
sia. The instructions of the
TurkMi plenipotentiaries are
such as to make the conclusion
of an armistice absolutely cer-t-iin.
The Turkish press is en
joined to show the greatest mod
eration, and is enjoined from,
ntttacking the Czar.
An official account of the cap
ture of Shipka Pas states that
of the Pasha's, 2S0 officers, 25,
000 prisoners and SI guus were
captured. The Russian lo-s in
killed and wounded was 5,4Ci
more.
TnE Marshall Harold adverts
to the fact that our present
judiciary system is very defec
tive. We have entirely too
many court, and their sessions
are too frequent. It is court
every mouth in the year, nnd
"sometimes every week. Courts
are expensive luxuries, besides
it takes valuable time from per
sons called upon to serve as
jurors. It was expected that
the last Legislature- would have
amended the law, but they neg
lected or failed to do so. The
Herald siys: "Let us see if a
more intellisrent and creditable
Legislature than the last cannot
be elected." Those are onr
sentiments.
Tnn Ilonston Age is ot the
opinion that it is not contrac
tion that is playing such sad
havoc in commercial circles,
and causing almost countless
failure, but it is rather inclined
to attribute it to a want of con
fidence, dishonesty' and rascali-
'ty. Very rarely does a busi
ness house close on account of
the stringency of the times. It
i? the dishonest3' of failing
debtors th.it does tho mischief.
This dishonesty begets a gen
eral waut of confidence on the
part ot monied men, and capi
tal is locked up. When the
rotten concerns have been de
strayed, when integrity is again
a general business quality, cap
ital will gain confidence, fail
ures will cease, and business
will revive.
Corn is a dull sale in Bas
trop at twenty-five cents a
bushels, says tho Advertiser.
This shows the disadvantage ot
not having railroad connections.
In Illinois, a State that has
more miles of railroad than any
other State in the Union, it is
doubtful whether corn is sold as
cheap as twenty-five cents a
bushel. Here in Texas we can
raise almost as much corn to the
aere as can be raised in Illi
nois Missouri, or yet they pro
duce corn as a paying crop, on
much about the same plan as
Tcxis farmers rainse cotton.
South America is a large con
sumer of corn. Large quantities
are sbipped from New York and
Baltimore, and there is no reasou
why we sii"nld not be able to
compete with the Northern
States in the production ot this
staple commodity.
A Special dispatch to the
Galveston JS'cics of the 22d
inst., says there was a largo and
influential meeting in favor of
the silver bill. Ahout a hun
dred members, mostly from the
West and South, were present.
Buckncr, of Missouri, presided,
and said the repeal of the re
sumption act and the remone
tizition of silver, together with
the destruction of tho national
bank, is a matter oi prime
necessity.
