VVe have never as yet received J
a copy of the Houston Telegraph, I
though at the request oi its agent
we gave a notice of its resurree-tion
and put it on our exchange
list. We consider this as rather
a shabby return for a gratuitous |
notice, as we confess we had some j
little desire to receive the Tele-!
graph in exchange.
We call attention to the letter
of the Hon. Ira B. Saddlor. We j
were aware of his opposition, and i
at the instanco of Col. Taylor we
expressed the hope that he would
withdraw* it. That; was before
we learned that the names of]
Waco and other places were left
out, ami of course his action was
at that time inexplicable to us,
but certainly by present lights
prompted by devotion to the true [
interests of iiis constituents.
Gov. Antes, of Mississippi, says |
that dueling has to bo stopped at
Bay St. Louis and elsewhere in
the confines of his domain. He]
gives as his reason for not inter-1
ing when Col. Rhett killed Judge j
Cooley, that the former was |
grossly insulted; and the result J
might make people a little ettu-tious
in their future insolence.!
He is going to hold the parties!
connected with tha duel in which
Bienvcnue was killed, till one tea-tifies
as State’s evidence.
General News.
The only opposition feared \
from Louisiana to the anexation •
of the two parishes of Caddo and !
Desoto is expected to come from
the Lieutenant Governor Antoine
who lives in Shrevesport. He
will lose all of bis influence by'
the cession of that territory*.
It is a sad commentary on car-pet-
bag rule in Louisiana that in
New Orleans there are more than
six thousand houses and stores
standing idle, the population hav-ing(
decreased at least thirty thou-sand
within four years, Shipping
has sought other ports, and busi-ness
at this season of the year is
loss than one-half what it wrs fif-teen
years ago.
The new Government of the
Sandwich Islands is said to be in
favor of a paper currency*. Office-holders
are becoming numerous,
while the tax-payers are dimin-ishing
in number, and to equalize
matters paper promises are to be
issued.

Arkansas ; for the deep disgrace
which has been brought upon the
whole country through the law-loss
proceedings which have taken
place in that State. President
Grant more than any other man
is directly responsible.” Baxter
was illegally* put in by* the radi-cals,
but when ho refused to be
their tool, they became euraged
and endeavored to put him out,

State News.
We observe the thrilling story
of Simon Girty*, the White Sav-ago,
going the rounds of the Tex-as
press. We are savage enough;
dia not take any' in ours.
One of the mail, stage robbors
has been captured'at Dallas. The
place of capture and confinement,
every particular in fact except
that of the arrest, is kopt mum.
We have seen Mr. Richardson’s

the public printing, and we now
await the testimony of Mr. Downs.
We have no right to an opinion
until hearing both sides, but when
we do learn the truth we’ll be

There is quite a mysterious af-fair
in Houston. A man is said
to be in that place who killed an-other

where ho is, is the question. The |
police affect, it is said, to know !
nothing about it.
Congressional News.
Ball, of Parker county, intro-duced
an amendment appropriat-ing
$400,000 for the protection of
the frontier, which was, after
some sparring, adopted.
Senator Moore called up Sen-ate
bill, an act to incorporate the
Uaddo parish and Jefferson
branch of the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas Railroad. Passed.
Dwyer recommended raising
the appropriation for the Bureau
of Immigration from $5500 to $16,
500, and providing for emigration
agents—one in Europe with a sal-ary*
of $4500, and«one at Galves-ton
with $2000. It was elo-quently*
advocated by* Ireland but
did not reach a vote.

[Special Dispatches to Waco Advance.]
We are gratified to learn from
our special from the Hon. J. K.
Helton that the Central was not
■ so extremely hostile to the pas-sage
of the Midland Road througli
Waco as some had curiously
enough supposed. At any rate
the Central did not own the Leg-mlature;
that may account for the
change.

Washingson, April 27.
The Secretary of War has given
directions for the issuance of ar-my
rations for 20,000 destitute
people in the overflowed districts
on the Mississippi. As the cost
of these is $90,000, the Secretary
of War has asked Congress for
an appropriation.
Grant received the following
on the 27th :
“It is not, true that I have de-clared
martial law outside of Pu-laski
county. Nothing has been
done on my part to prevent a
peaceable settlement by the Leg-islature.
1 only want to protect
myself till that is done.
“Elisha Baxter,
“Governor.”
Mr. Lamar delivered in the
House a eulogy on Sumner in the
course of which he spoke the fol-lowing
;
The North, exultant over her
triumph and excited by success,
still cherishes, as we are assured,
a magnanimity* towards her dis-armed
and discomfited antagonist,
anu yet, as if under some myster-ions
spell, her words and acts are
words and acts of suspicion and
distrust. Would that the spirit
of the illustrious dead whom we
lament to-day could speak from
the grave to both parties of this
deplorable discord, in tones which
should roach every heart through-out
this broad territory. “My
countrymen, know one another,
and you will love one another.”
Gen. Humphreys in accordance
with a request from Herndon,
suggested .the improvement of
Sabine Pass, at the estimated cost
of $81,083 ; $18,000 for remov-ing
obstructions between Hamil-ton
and the l.ake, and the rest
for improving the bar.

Letter from the Hon. Ira B.
Sadler.
Austin, April 27, 1874.
Messrs. Napier and Trice:
Your favor received. I take
the same view of tho Taylor Rail-road
that you do, and I am the
only one of our delegation that
opposed it. If you wil^oxamino
the journals, you will see I voted
against the passage of. the bill.
Taylor wrote to me that if there
were any calls for towns in his
charter, it would make void his
contract with other parties that
were furnishing the money. But
still, when the Senate substitute
to the original bill came to the
House, it called for the town of
Comanche. I have opposed the
Railroad monopolies with all my
power, but still they carry their
measures. You will see that 1
amended tho general extension
bill to the great surprise of all
railroad men, and the t enate
adopted ray . amendment. I am
opposed to the present sy’stem of
railroads black-mailing towns
and cities or the people. We build
up the country* and get property
to be worth something; railroad
corporations tear down or make
us pay a subsidy* to get what they
term “a benefit.”
I will be in Waco . Monday
night, provided the Legislature
adjourns Monday. Will give an
accountof my stewardship to the
citizens of MoLennan county and
Waco any lime they say.
Respectfully,
Ira B. Sadler.
