[Special to Daily Democrat.]
Austin, Feb. 25, 1879.
The house passed the bell punch
bill, after an exciting debate. A
conciliatory speech by Represen-
tative Gause got it through.
The house adopted the bill to
issue bonds at five per cent., to
take up funds arising from the sale
of school lands. The whole day
was consumed in discussing these
two measures.
The senate consumed the day in
discussing the constitutional
amendments in reference to the
judiciary, creating nine supreme
judges.
It is definitely ascertained that
the deficiency for the past two
years amounts to more than $500,-
000. The governor’s message on
the subject is before the legis-
lature.
Maj. Jones marries Mrs. Ander-
son to-night. She is a widow with
seven children.
John D. Templeton will likely be
appointed judge of your district.
Nugent has been confirmed as
judge of the Erath district. Ab-
bott is talked of as judge of the
Hunt district.

WAR IN THE CAMP.
A special to the St. Louis Be-
publican says that in secret ses-
sion on Saturday, Senators Conk-
ling and Burnside engaged in a
wrangle which senators present
describe as being more personal
than the one Senator Conkling
had with Senator Gordon last ses-
sion. A nomination for some un-
important office was several weeks
ago reported adversely by the
commerce committee, of which
Conkling is chairman, to tin- sen-
ate. It came up and a question
was raised as to who had once be-
fore objected to its consideration.
No record is kept in secret session
beyond a brief journal, that shows
no names. Burnside and Conk-
ling were in a moment in discus-
sion of a question of veracity on
the point. For a moment only
was the discussion confined to the
use of parliamentary language.
Conkling, full of anger, felt him-
self assailed by an administration
senator and at, forth vent his
wrath, checking himself only
enough to confine his language
within parliamentary require-
ments. Senators say his abuse of
Burnside was enough to stiug the
most callous to the quick. The
latter, with great excitement, told
the New York senator in plain
terms that he lied. Hoar was in
the chair and ordered Burnside to
be seated. For a minute after
this the belligerent senators were
at it like cats and dogs. The pre-
siding officer’s gavel failed to se-
cure order. Tne row was hushed,
and soon after the senate adjourn-
ed without taking any formal ac-
tion, and senators say they do not
see how the altercation can be
settled. Some think Conkling had
great provocation, while others
believe he solicited the quarrel,
knowing himself to be the stronger
man in such an affray.
NATIONAL democratic commit-
tee.
The national Democratic com-
mittee has authorized the execu-
tive committee to appoint an aux-
iliary body to act with the latter
iu all political masters. The con-
gressional committee will also ap-
point an executive committee for
the same purpose as the auxiliary
committee. John G. Thompson,
sergeant-at-arms of the house, was
elected assistant treasurer, and
Gen. Duncan S. Walker, assistant
secretary. Col. Paxie, of Eaton,
Kansas, was appointed to a vacan-
cy on the national committee,
caused by the resignation of
Abram S. Hewitt. Headquarters
will be at Boston, and the next
meeting will be held there Feb-
ruary 23, 1880.
GREENBACKERS AND NATIONALS.
A preliminary meeting of Green-
backers elected to the next con-
gress and others affiliated with
the National party, took place
(Saturday. Thomas M. Nichol, sec-
retary of the Honest Money
League of the Northwest, has
challenged the Greenbackers to a
public discussion.
PACIFIC RAILROAD MONEY.
The secretary of the treasury
asks congress for authority to in-
vest in first mortgage bonds of the
respective roads moneys received
from the Pacific railroads on ac-
count of payment of the principal
of the debt, and semi-annual inter-
est, as five per cent. United States
bonds will soon be called.
CONTESTED SEATS.
The -house committee on elec-
tions agreed to report a bill limit-
ing the allowance for expenses in-
curred in contesting seats in the
house to $1,000 in each case after
the present congress.
CHANDLER ON THE PRESIDENCY.
Senator-elect Chandler, of Mich-
igan, in answer to a letter of Pri-
vate Dalzell, writes that his candi-
date for the presidency is the can-
didate of the Bepublican party,
whoever that may be, whether
Grant, Blaine, Sherman, or some
other man. He thinks it impera-
tive that the Bepublican nominee
should be a man whose loyalty to
and whose reputation throughout
the country is such that all true
Bepublicans can support him. The
wording of the letter indicates
pretty plainly a preference for
Grant-.
HOME, SWEET HOME.
An gel 1, the Defaulter, on His
Native Land Once More.
The bark Shooting Star, carry-
ing as passenger Charles W. An-
gell, defaulting secretary of the
Pullman palace car compony, was
detained off the capes by a gale
which prevailed, and only arrived
in the breakwater at noon Satur-
day. At one time it was suppo-
sed the Shooting Star had receiv-
ed orders through pilots to pro-
ceed to New York, and that she
had gone there, but a fine south-
erly breeze brought her safely in.
Angell was brought ashore by De-
tective Capt. Whitney Frank and
quartered at the United States
hotel, where they are staying now.
It appears Angell’s captivity has
been made as light as possible for
him, and he has suffered no un-
necessary confinement since his
discovery and arrest at Lisbon.
He seems to have realized that
further effort to avoid final set-
tlement would only be prejudicial
to his case, and he is anxious to
proceed to Chicago. He was not
aware when he went to Portugal
that the United States had no ex-
tradition treaty with that country,
and his apparent desire to secure
immunity from arrest, in absence
of treaty stipulations, was not pre-
meditated. He first went to
Southampton, thence to Eio Ja-
neiro, and reached Lisbon in one
of the royal mail steamships. No
delay is anticipated, and it is ex-
pected that Angell will leave for
Chicago at once.
To Be Branded.
A bill has been introduced in
the Missouri legislature providing
for the branding of persons guilty
of rape, bigamy, and married men
guilty of the seduction of young
girls. Persons guilty of rape are
to be confined in the penitentiary
for not less than twenty years and
at the expiration of their sentence
will be branded upon the forehead
with the capital letter “E,” to rep-
resent rape. Those guilty of big-
amy are to receive “forty lashes
save one,” and be branded upon
the forehead with the letter “B.”
Married men guilty of seduction
are to receive the same number of
lashes, and be branded with the
letter “8.” The bill also provides
that the face of the lines compo-
sing the branding letters shall oe
not less than one-quarter of an
inch in width, and the letter not
less than one and a half inches in
length.
CURRENT CHATTER.
Wisconsin has adopted the
whipping-post, and Missouri thinks
of doing the same. The move-
ment appeaas to be booming.
A few years ago there were
60,000 unemployed men in New
York. Now there are only 12,000
of this class. This is progress,
indeed.
The total value of the butter and
cheose made iu this country du-
ring the past year was $350,000,000,
or $50,000,000 more than the en-
tire wheat crop. Another tri-
umph for lovely woman over tyran-
nical man.
The women of New Hampshire
anticipate lots of fun in voting for
school trustees under the new
election law. It is announced in
advance that none but handsome
single men will stand any chance
of success.
It is impossible for any intelli-
gent man to read the evidence
given before the Potter committee
and not be convinced of three
things : First, that the electoral
vote of Florida was offered to the
Democrats and its purchase de-
clined ; second, that the Bepubli-
cans did agree to pay for that
vote ; third, that Mr. Hayes has
confirmed the contract by paying
for that vote out of the public
treasury, the payment being made
under the guise of salaries. That
the party is beyond all question is all there is of it
