Blain made his speech in
the senate on Wednesday. His
deduction is- that because one
of 106 representatives selected
from former slave-holdihgstates'
102 of them are democrats there
must be something wrong that
needs investigation. He was
ably answered by Thurman and
Lamar; According to Blaine's
idea a free ballot in the. south
means that . every negro must
and hall vote the radical ticket.

Th final crop report of the
agricultural department, shows
the increased acreage of cotton
this year to be only 2 per cent,
more than last year. October

year. The yield of lint per
acre is much higher than in
1877. The average production
of lint for 1878 is 191 pounds

Some twenty-five masked men

crematory exercises. This is

is no doubt effective.
TEXAS, EKXDAY, DECEMBER 21
A Poll Tax-
The idea of making the pay
ment of a poll tax a pre-requis-ite
to voting is favorably men
tioned by all the papers which
have expressed, any opinion on
the subject. It is a well known
fact that there is a very large
percentage of the poll tax is not
now paid and there is no means
of forcing its collection. A poll
tax law wo"uld work like a
charm in the counties where
there is a large negro population.
About all the enjoyment some
negroes have in the world is
voting; it is a part of their ex
istence, and they never allow
an opportunity to vote to pass.
A very large majority of them
pay no taxes and also avoid
road working. If they were
compelled to exhibit their poll
tax: receipts before voting, the
probability is there would be
fewer of them vote; the people
generally would be better off.
In regaad to the whites, the
votes of those who are unwilling
or unable to pay a poll tax
could be dispensed with; with
out any serious detriment to
the public good. Among other
tilings of importance this is one
that is worthy of the serious
consideration of the legislature.
The Galveston News in an
editoral upon the action of the
directory in accepting the 250,
ooo loan upon the Santa Fe
railroad, fully endorses the ac
tion of the stockholders in rati
fying the same and take great
pride in the fact that Galveston
capitalists have agreed to" ad
vance the money. With this
loan the News regards the suc
cess of the road as guaranteed
and says that work will un
doubtly be continued ; that with
the money advanced the road
will be clear of all floating in
debtedness and in a condition
to put its mortgate bonds on
the market in such a shape as
will, attract purchasers. .The
Banner wishes the predictions
of the News to' bejverified, and
the sooner verified the the bet

On Friday the directors of
the Santa Fe railroad had a
meeting in Galveston and.
agreed to accept the proposi
tion to borrow 250,000 on a
mortage on the road. A stocky
holder's meeting was held on
Saturday and the' action of the
directors was ratified. The
Galveston New s thinks that with
the realization of this loan the
progress of the road, will be un
interrupted. We regard this as
very bad news for Houston and
exceedingly good news for
Brenham, Bellville, Caldwell
and Belton. The Houston pa
