When the UgUlaUre passed the bill for
the improvement of rivers and bays offering
four dollars of the State's moMy for ertrj
one subscribed by communities or individual
towards improving the bays and navigable
rivers of the State It seemed to us a meaanrs
in which Galveston had a deep interest
The subject or river improvement has been
discussed time after time In public assembla-
ges and through the press until wc had sup-
posed that the citizens of Galveston were ful-
ly convinced of the great benefits which would
result to them individually and collectively
by such improvements as would facilitate
navigation and increase the trade of this city
We expected that the people of Galveston
because or this Interest would hall with sat-
isfaction the passage of the River BUI and
would be among the first to take advantage
of Its provisions not only because the citizens
of the Trinity valley and others interested in
navigation expect us to do our share but al
so because there are certain improvements
which devolve upon Galveston andwhich.
from position and direct Interest our citizens
should endeavor to have executed under the
provisions of the bill referred to
Ust week a meeting was called for the pur
pose of taking action on this subject but not
over a dozen persons were In attendance and
nothing was done We referred to the matter
through our columns and urged the necessity
of prompt measures which would not only
hasten the proposed improvements but by
example induce the people of the interior
whose interests are connected with ours to
act also None of the other city papers so
far as we observed have thought the subject
not orthy of their attention and there is an
apathy existing which in our opinion Is
anything but creditable to our city
If a political meeting were called during
which stump orators would discuss Aavrlcan-
Ism or Democracy; Tillify thtlr opponents
and flatter the prejudices and excite the pas
sions of the crowd a goodly attendance could
be had . but n hen it is proposed to effect seme
Improvement in which all parties have a com
mon interest something tbat will prove of
lasting advantage to the communitj we too
frequently find the masses indifferent. This
state of things should not be and wc have no
hesitation in declaring that this indifference
will operate to the injury of our trade with
the interior if persisted in
There is no great sacrifice required on the
part of the merchant! and property owners
of Galveston The amount or money wnicn
would be required of them cannot deter them
if they duly consider their own interests and
wc confess our surprise having always be-
lieved that we had a reasonable share of pub-
lie spirit among us that the advantages of-
fered by the River Bill are not immediately
embraced. We ask those who nade the late
attempt to try once again to get a meeting
of the people and If any are opposed let
them speak out. Opposition were better than
this apathy and indifference which chills the
enterprise and crushes the public spirit which
we know a number of onr merchants possess.

The River Bill has become a law of the :
land and the people can now if they see
proper avail themselves of the benrlt of its
S revisions. We think it calls for the imme-
iats attention of all those interested In the
clearing out of our rivers The bill It is true
is act such as wc could have wished it still
if the people do not make ft available ft will
be their own fault The bill appropriates
$300000 to river Improvements and provides
for the election by the Icgislature of a
State Engineer and Superintendent whose
duty ft will be to superintend the clearing
out of our rivers The objectionable feature
of the bill is that the people have to raise In
gratuities one fifth or the amount expended
upon the rivers For example if the people
of the Trinity river will raise one thousand
dollars to be expended in the Improvement
of the river the State will give $4000 more ;
and so in proportion till the sum given by the
Btate to any one river shall have reached fifty
thousand dollars Under the provisions of
this bill none but the principal rivers or tho
Btate are likely to become recipients Ex.
cept where solid substantial commercial ad-
vantages are to be gained the individual ex-
penditures will not be made Private capital
seeks no outlay that Is not remunerative
Still we think ir there Is a river In Texas
that should avail Use If or the benefits of this
bill it Is the Trinity The merchants of Gal-
veston and the planters of Liberty and Polk
county should take hold of the matter at
once By so dolup and raising promptly a
few thousand dollars by Individual subscrip-
tion the bar at the mouth of the river might
be removed by the commencement of the
next business season And what an immense
saving it would be to the country If this were
done Galveston as the chief commercial
city in Texas should instantly take the initia-
tive In tho matter She owes it to herself and
to the people of the State to do so
This county and Polk we have no doubt
will heartily lend a hand Five thousand dol-
lars raised by Individual subscription will in-
sure $20000 more from the State Cannot
this sum of fire thousand dollars be raised
We would like to hear from our Galveston
merchants and capitalists on tho subject; and
we would also like to hear from the planters
or Polk county Now Is the time to act-
Delays and postponements in business under-
takings are seldom or never productive of
good The sooner an enterprise can be begun
and pressed to completion the better Let
the people consult together appoint a Col-
lector and Treasurer as provided for In the
act ; and let him see at once what amount can
be raised in private subscriptions for the
Trinity Only five per cent of wbscriptions
has to be paid down in cash the balance
being payable In Installments an called for by
the Collector and Treasurer not more than
twenty per cent being called In in any given
sixty days. If the people of the Trinity do
lie still now it will be difficult to appecciate
hew blind and dead they are to their own
Interest. But certainly they will not cannot
at it Such a course would be too suicidal
A few thousand dollars raised by those
inuiested. would insure xne removal oi ine
bar at the mouth of the river and the clearing
out of all obstructions to navigation as high
as Patrick s Ferry at least. Let the peo-
plo of the lower river take care of the lower
river ; and let those higher up tale bold or
that portion of it The Trinity Is the best
navigable stream in Texas or might very
easily be made so Besides it runs through
a more densely populated district of country
than any other of our rivers It ships more
cotton then either the Brazos or tne Colorado
at least such Is our information and it will
matinne to do so : for the lands borderinc on
it and tributary to it are capable of denser
settlements wan any oiucrpomouei jejas
Then will the people neglect to clear out this
river? If they do they should not. Will not
the press of Galveston take up this matter
and press It upon the attention of the people?
They could not render a greater service to the
country

CONBECjrEKCES OF FREMONT S ELECTION
A corresponds of the New Orleans Delta
closes his letter as follows
Tbi election of John C tremont would at
least accomplish one thing : it would show us
exactly what wc are to expect. It would set
tle the question of whether the South will ever
resistiotneusuneaocinncsoi Aoouiionism.
There arc Indeed good Southern men here
who rccard the crowinjf chances of Fremont a
election with a feeling that smacks of satis
faction. Tae boutn Carolina delegation two
gallant members of which Brooks and Keitt
nave oeen driven irom tneir scats in congress
say "Let thf issct cove." South Carolina
has always been right. II er glorious Calhoun
was right let her keep cool She may yet
realize her hopes Fremont may be placed
by an overwhelming Northern vote in the
Presidency to rule over her with Seward
Sumner and Hale and Greeley to plan her
humiliation To rule over her did I say?
Never ! The election of Fremont will be the
knell of this Union

Congress and await the passage of a bill to
enable him to obtain what the Court had de
termined to be due to him
The expense of prosecuting a claim before
the Court is sometimes quite heavy The
petitions and briefs have to be printed and
the fees of commissioners to take depositions.

clerk of the Court demands the privilege of

embodies all his views on the subject of the

municate that announcement
Where Is that Democracy to-da ? Swal-

The foreign policy or the present Demo-
cratic President has b-en far from creditable
to our Government IL too shows a dispo-
sition to court an alien influence tosustiln it
whilst it has declared and practiced relentless
proscription against native born American

upon by friends I feel It due to them to ex-
press my sentiments plainly ou and I and
tens or thousands of old Democrats who were
the true Counantcrs under Jackson wash
our hands orthce absurdities follies and
evidences of culpable mismanagement
None of these things are fraught with the
principle! of that Democracy which was
taught at the Hermitage and treasured up by
us. i ctn una no rruei in toe nomination

constrained according to my notions of De-

Of the Republicans 1 can only wy that
their platform and principle are sectional
and I cannot coacleve how any man loving
this Union devoted to its principles ran sup-
port a ticket fraught with such disastrous con-
sequences to the whole country as its success
would be It has been my habit In life to
depredfcfe and oppose everything of a section-
al character and therefore I cannot view
with comrlaccncy anything which U calculit

annexed to the United States she did not con

section but viewed herself as merged in the
Union She had received the sympathy of
the citizens or erery section of the Union

becoming a member of the Union she consid-
ered as inseparable from Its preservation and

of new vessels of late very considerably
Bhlp-building has not been at so low an ebb
as at present for many years Unusually
few keels hare been laid in this vicinity the
last six months. At the Eastward we under-
stand the prospects are little 'or ne better
than they are here It Is a noteworthy fact
that the small and medium class of bottoms
are and have been for sometime past paying
a comparatively bettor per centage on the
moan Invested than large vessels and our
builders wool I doubtless And It to their Inter-

In that city at $100000 went before the Tax
Commissioner on the 24th nit and swore
every dime of it away In other words he
made iffidarlt that he was not worth one cent
over and above his debts and liabilities and
thus he stands relieved of the $100 000 which
