cate, the ignorance or tbe malice dis-
played in the foregoing. Both presses
quoted avail themselves of their hostility
to Governor Hubbard to misrepresent
tbe facts connected with tbe snpport and
retention of Capt. Hall's company in the
field. Governor Hubbard,in tbe absence
of a legislative appropriation, made ar-
rangements with moneyed men for ad-
vancing means for tbe support of tbe
command so long as he taught it ad-
visable to retain tbea in the service.
This was independent of the subscrip-
tions for loans of the stock men. Bat
on their generous offer to assist by mak-
ing advances, about fifty percent, of the
amount required was saved by a direct
loan from the party referred to. Tbe
stock men for a abort period were dere-
lict in meeting their subscriptions, but
this did not hazard the payment of the
men. Governor Hubbard baa never in-

opinion we have long entertained, that
there should be a strict compliance with

establishment of an agricultural and
mechanical college. The curriculum
used is satisfactory for present purposes,
but we favor a division of tbe institution
so that the agricultural department ciay
be promoted at Bryan, and tbe mechan! -
cal through the construction of a branch
at Austin. The location of the institu-
tion at Bryan is well calculated for the
uses of agriculture, bnt not of mechanism.
It is sufficicctly capacious for their purpose
but must be doubly increased to famish
facilities for both purposes. So far then
from increasing the buildings at that
point, we advocate tbe construction of a
new building at the capital. Hydraulic

She was a young thing of fifteen, and

Texas wants both roads. Matters
should be compounded between tbe
companies rather than antagonized, and
Texas ttould be placed on a line of exai-
tatioo of unequalled glory and wealth.
The staked plains, that have been re-
garded as sterile and .valueless, over
which the Texas Pacific is projected,
has been found to be as fertile as desir-
able for agricultural usee. A friend re-
cently informed us that a large emigra-
tion from California was looking to that
suction for settlement, and lands owned
by the Lavaca Navigation Company
were sought for on an offer of $1.25
cash per acre.
The depreciation of the Mexican dol-
lar bas been a source of profound sur-
prise U) us. We lee it stated that the
director of the mint rates it 998 in gold.
It is represented on other high authority
as being intrinsically more valuable
tan two half-dollars American coin. In
Texas it .is especially unfortunate that
its value should bo degraded as it must
injure the Mexican trade. The public is
deeply interested in tracing this depre-
ciation of the Mexican dollar to its legit-
imate Bource. We hope it soon may be
doée. Jy:vrji / ■
Wb hope soon to publish the exhaust-
ive and very able letter of Governor Hub-
bard to President Hayes on the Mexican
border troubles. No man of brains «an
read it without being thoroughly im-
pressed with the right, as well as duty
of the Federal Government to obtain
indemnity for tbe past and security for
tbe future.

The meeting of citizens, held at
day—it-ispo womiar that nrtr- rliitdrpn,
Onion creek, reprobating Mexican out-
rages, published in the Gazette, was
composed of some of the best men of tbe
State. We echo the sentiment that the
people should everywhere speak out in
condemnation of the El Paso invasion,
and demand a most vigorous policy for
tha punishment of the' assassins.

Missouri Cattle Law Unconsii-
tgOMlL
The Hannibal Jourier says Hon James
Carr, of that city, on the seventh inst
received n dispatch from Washington
city, announcing that the Supreme Court
of the United States has decided the
Texas cattle law of Missouri unconstitu-
tional. This law prohibits the laporta-
tion of Texas cattle into the State be-
tween March 1 and November 1, of any
jetr. The Supreme Court holds that
this is in violation of the constitution of
the United States, whicli confers upon
Congress exclusive power to regálate
inter-State commerce. The decision
was made upon a test suit from Caldwell
county, in which judgment was rendered
against the Hannibul aud St. Joseph R.
R., for landing cattle at Kidder, by
which Texas fever, as was alleged, .was
communicated to the plaintiff's cattle,
and settles other cases in which the
amount of $40,000 damages are claimed.

Is a casual interview with Hon. Ash-
bel Smith to-day we were singularly im-
presjed With a proposition he makes for
utilizing convict labor. He proposes the
employment by the State of all those not
tept in custody at the penitentiaries, in
the construction of a road-bed far rail-
roads from Austin to Eagle Pass and
from San Antonio to Eagle Pass. When
graded in suitable sections he would ten-
der its free uses to first-class companies
for a period of say twenty years, when
the entire road should revert to the
State. The reasons he advances, show-
ing the economic and judicious concen-
tration of this labor in the promotion of
a sound public policy, carry great weight
with us. We invite from Col. Smith a
full presentation of his, views on this
subject for publication.
Two bottles of French claret, tiio last
of the vintage of 1811, recently sold in
Paris at $125. The superior quality of
wine produced that year >n France is
genei.-'ly attributed to the influence of
tho comet. The French people would
doubt'ess welcome the erratic visitor's
return with great rejoicing.
