Austin, Tex., May 31.—In the senate the
( bill putting certain counties in the district,
system and relieving others from the dis-
' trict system came up and the house amend-
ments were adopted.
The joint resolution was offered asking
1 Texas senators and representatives to work
for a more efficient mail service in Texas.

rantine purposes was laid on the tuble sub-
ject to call.
A bill providingfor the col lection of taxes

The senate then adjourned till U.-1U to-
morrow morning.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
REGULATi PHOCEEMNCS.
Aitstin, Tex., May 11.—In the house, on
motion of Mr. Booth of Wise, the senate
bill was taken up providing for auditing
and paying certain old school claims for
services prior to 1870 and subsequent to
1873, the payment to be made by the coun-
ties.
Mr. Richardson warned the house against
reopening the door for the resuscitation of
claims once barred. The counties had been
authorized by laws previously adopted, and
again renewed to recognize and pay these
claims. He seemed to think the law would
offer an incentive to fraud and produce liti-
? at ion over spurious claims supported by
raud and bribery.
Messrs. Fuller and Booth favored the hill
and objected to repudiating debts, however
ancient.
Mr. Prendergast fully set forth the his-
tory of the claims and the ample opportuni-
ty claimants had enjoyed to have their
claims paid. A vote being reached, the bill
was killed.
A bill to furnish the new capitol came up
as special order and was considered in com-
mittee of the whole.
Mr. Maguire amended the bill to provide
for a civil engineer to estimate for remov-
ing the earth and leveling the grounds.
The house concluded to leave the matter
with the political architects and engineers
of the board. The bill required the adver-
tisement for bids to be published in various
outside city papers, and in The Galveston
News, and this was amended to substitute
for The News one or more Texas papers.
Mr. Bell of Cooke contended that the
whole expense of advertising was unneces-
sary, as every furniture manufactory has an
agent here waiting to put bids, whereupon
the clause was so amended as to leave t lie
advertising wholly with the board. The
liouse amendments were adopted.
When the house reached the clause nnik-
Jng ?Stl0,000 appropriation, Mr. Jones of
Panola wanted to cut off $75,000, and ilr.
Bell of Cooke proposed $75,000 for furniture
and ?25,000 for the grounds,and made along
speech for economy.
Mr. Bell's amendment was antagonized
by Mr. Strong and satirized effectively by
Mr. Kerlicks, and was rejected by a vote of
85 to 58.
Mr. Jones' amendment was also rejected.
Mr. Nicholson, amendment to substitute
$150,000.
Mr. Smith of Travis offered a resolution
providing for a committee of twelve mem-
bers of the house and five from the senate
to assist in the ceremonies of the dedication.
Adopted.
Mr. Skinner offered a resolution of thanks
to Mr. Wilke, the capitol contractor, for
moving at his own expense the furniture
from the old to the new capitol.
Pending the amendment the house ad-
journed till 3 o'clock.
AfTEIiXOON' SESSION.
The bill to furnish the capitol was re-
sumed. Pending the question an amend-
ment was presented to strike out $200,000
and insert $150,000.
Mr. Page's substitute naming $140,000 was
adopted. The bill passed to engrossment
Anally under suspension of the rules.
It is expected the senate will raise the
house on this appropriation.
Adjourned until morning.

FURNISHING APPROPRIATION.
Austin, May 11.—In the house the appro-
priation for furnishing the new capitol and
' grading the grounds was fixed in the bill
above the amount needed, with the expecta-
tion that the professional economists of the
house would be satisfied if they could pass
an amendment making a reduction. The
amount, SBO0.000, asked in the bill
Was certainly more than required. The
§140,000 will furnish the house elegantlv and
grade the grounds. The senate may try to
raise ttic lionise figures to preserve the repu-
tation of the senators of being the liberal
body. The economists of the house who
have been trapped into a reasonably liberal
measure, however, will again triumph in
rejecting the senate's raise.
ACOUSTIC QUALITIES.
Last night's experience has caused much
discussion as to the acoustic qualities of the
two halls. The house had its aisle covered
with matting and a great improvement was
observable. The senate ordered its sergeant-
fct-arms to put down matting. The result
of the discussion is that the halls are all
right and that as soon as the carpeting is
put down, the chandelier hung and the
rooms filled up with furniture all will be
well. The halls now are like huge jugs.
The statesman who has been shouting out
his wisdom at the top of his voice finds his
Words coming back to him—as they have as-
sailed the ears of those addressed by him—
confusing, irritating and withal very empty.
An echo attachment to legislative halls
Would be a good thing. When the utter-
ances of a speaker are repeated to him he
will be slow to make foolish remarks or in-
dulge in classic gibberish.
OUGHT TO GET THROUGH.
The legislature ought to get through to-
morrow. The senate has to act upon the
japital furnishing bill, which doubtless
will not take many minutes. The appro-
Sriation bill can be agreed upon readily.
till the chances-are that the session will
Hot be adjourned till Tuesday at noon.
Nothing has been done to secure the 2000
acres of excess in the capitol reservation,
probably because it is ascertained that the
reservation is not opened up. When the
capitol contractors are paid their full 3,000,-
000 acres the lands will then revert to the
fifty cent reservation, and not to the public
domain.
The state now has possession of the new
capitol, a $25,000 bond and 312,000 acres of
the 3,000,000.
- . A FIERCE rir,nT.
The fight on the appropriation for the
capitol and grounds was a fierce one, partic-
ularly on the part of these gentlemen who
believed the report of the committee was
too high. The committee report suggested
•150,000 for the furniture and $50,000 for the
grounds. The argument of those who fa-
re-red tUt aotcuut was that the committee
was a fair one, composed of intelligent and
honorable men who had examined into the
matter, end this report was ail expression
of their judgment.
The oppositi .
from officers of other states on the subject
ition was heeded with letters
of furnishing public buildings. The super-
intendent ol public property of Wisconsin
writes that while Ills state !;:i ;e was •

moving ac-atx.
The house is talking about moving into
one of the smaller rooms of the capitol, as
the acoustic qualities of the hall interfere
seriously with the transactions of business.
When a man makes a speech he has after*
ward to explain what lie said, and it is a
remarkable fart that fifteen minutes'
speeches can always be explained in about
lateen words. 'The senate does not
seem disposed to miovo again. That

THE CAN FIELD SUIT.
Austin," Tex., M.iy 11.—1The casa of Can-
field against about fifty it'.»mbers of the
legislature for over i.10 le. .it) damages' for
false imprisonment is ou t:i d. Canfiekl at.
the last session as newspaper correspondent
larruped the lower house so successfully in
his paper that the lions-: resolved against
his presence. Canlield. tl.inking his rights
infringed had the speaker ami ' iu- serjeant-
at-arms arrested, charged with assault.
The house scut down and brought the jus-
tice's court and CanfiMd before the bar, and
discharging the court, sentenced ('allfield to
forty-eight hours in jail. Hence the suit.
Speaker Pendleton and the reporters were
on the witness stand, but the issue, as re-
stricted by the rulings of t he district judge,
promises a verdict for defendant.

wife of this city.
THE STA TE I'llESS.
What the Papers Throughout Texas Are
Talking- About.
The Houston Age says:
The Hon. A. H. Willie of Galveston, who
was in the ci ty yesterday, has the distinction
of having resigned both a seat in congress
and the chief 'justiceship of the supreme
court of the state because lie could make
more practicing law.
Huch resignations are not common, but. it
is a well-known fact that the best lawyers
irrthe state earn much more money by their
profession than either judges or members of
congress from their offices.
The Decatur Post formulates the conun-
drum:
What is the difference, please, between a
man that says prohibition is first, last and
always with him and the man that votes
and otherwise contribute* to the upbuild-
ing of the prohibition party?
Quien sabe?
The Guard is a friend of peace and would
throw a bucket of cold water on dogs a fight-
ing. It says:
The Lord seems to have a particular spite,
at Collin county, else why does he permit
the people of that county to be everlastingly
afflicted with cranky politicians and news-
papers who keep tilings in constant tur-
moil? The language used in some of the
newspapers over there would disgrace a
back alley in any town in Texas. There is
no occasion for tiiese bitter and never-ending
quarrels.
The Weimar Gimlet snys: "Much is said
about presidential candidates, while vice-
presidential probabilities are rarely men-
tioned." In Texas more is said about
the office of lieutenant governor than gover-
nor, though in each case, national and state,
the present executive is expected to succeed
himself. Three vice-presidents have become
president by the death of the president
elected, but no one has ever died while gov-
ernor of Texas. Hubbard became governor
by the election of Coke to the United States
senate, but no other lieutenant governor
became governor through a vacancy in the
latter office.
The Platonia Argus says:
The secular press of Texas has had a good
deal to say about the failure of the northern
and southern Presbyterian churches to again
form a union. Let the southern papers ex-
amine into the merits of the question. The
northern church pronounced slavery a sin,
thus characterizing our illustrious fore-
fathers as living in a state of sin. They re-
fuse to apologize. They demand for the ne-
g oes social equality. The southern church
asks that the resolutions insulting to our
people he expunged from she records, not
demanding an apology, and that the colored
people be organized into separate churches,
presbyteries and synods. Independent of
ill! Sentiment about church union, the great
fact appears that hot li churches are doing a
good work in the world. Why should there
be a union ?
The Colorado Citizen says:
Curious law in Galveston: The con-
held Treasurer Burk guiltless, yet his bo-
men must pay 410,000. "IIow is tha'
b°W?" and civil

The Omaha Breeze says:
Jeff Tucker, a farmer near Housley, Tex.,
aroused ili tie- night thought lie saw a ioh
her, seie.eti a -hair and knocked his wii ■
senseless, fracturing her skull. It is said
! that within the last year twenty-two men
j in this eo-.mtry have shot and killed then
j wives ai night, thinking they were burg-
lars. There may be something of an r.etu
| ality ill this report, but we are inclined to
the opinion that, where men are so crazy in
j their sleep a.-i to get up and brutally murder
I their wives, thinking they arc killing some
! depredator, there if: s imetiiiiig wrong with
! them when they are awake, and they are not
sent to the asylum quite soon enough..
A writer i:i the Dallas Mercury deifies
that this is a free count ry. Ho asks:
Is ihe press, the great daily press that
throbs and pulsates at eve-.-y wave of puli:e
| sentiment, free? 1 do not believe it is. Sup
pose, for instance, that THE (JALVKstox or
| Dallas. News, or the Fort- Worth <«.>»•
: should decide to attai k the methods of tha-
s tupendous citizen, Jay Gould, what would
j likely be the result? He could order hi-
I telegraph operator* to give that paper it-
news t waive hours Iat.: he could imped 1 its
su il'tia on the railroads he owns, or aboh
; is(i il altogether in his dominion, ami then
j.its rivals would flourish and it would die.
| Is the great daily press of t his free country

] press? As t he press, so the people. ! deny

give Duii or Bradstreet the-wink; a false
rating wouhl cause a rush on him; he
would l>o closed out autl go to join tile hon-
est dead.
The writer of the above supposes too
much. Monopolies and combinations are
bad.enough, but they have not gone so fai-
ns he imagines. They might suppress or
buy up some newspapers, but they could
hardly discriminate tor and against the eii-
culfition of papers through the mails; it re-
quires a, great deal of credulity to suppose
that a man will lie persecuted for speaking
disrespectfully of the Lumber Dealers' asso-
ciation, or that Dun or Bradstreet would
rate a wholesale merchant falsely because
ho did not join "the ring," whatever it
may be.
The Colorado Citizt n says:
Last week the Bastrop AdverMser said:
"We must have deep water, il it cipi be
had at Galvesion all right, but let us hu\;c
deep wafer." To show the influence of the
press, the Colorado river rose thirty odtl
le t, and Cain has said nothing of deep
water since.
Seguiti, through the Record, boasts of
having street cars, ice factory, waterworks,
nine churches, three brickyards, three steam
gins, three flouring mills and a handsome
court-house.
The Journal says:

veston. Mi'. Bryan will prove a worthy

THE ADMISSION PLAIT
Meets with Considerable Disfavor—Citi.
zess Petition the City Council.
Every day since the announcement of the
failure of the effort to raise funds by sub-
scription wherewith to assist in maintain-
ing the band to play in this city during ihe
summer, and the determination of the City
Railroad company, as an only and last re-
sort., to charge admission to the concerts as
the only method by which n revenue could
be derived for the band's maintenance,
there has been n growing feeling constantly
developing on the part, of citizens that this
should not be. This feeling has finally
taken shape in the preparation of petitions
reading as follows:
"To the Honorable Mayor and Hoard of
Aldermen, Galveston, Texas—Having
learned that on account of the failure to
raise the necessary funds bv private sub-
scription for the maintenance of a first-
class band during the summer months, the
grounds in front of the Beach hotel would
he fenced in and admission charged, thus
depriving many of our citizens who are
not able to pay such admission charges
from the pleasure hitherto enjoyed every
summer by all the citizens of Galveston nntl
visitors in'listening to the musical exer-
cises by the band in front of the Beach
hotel, your petitioners hereby pray yourhon-
orable l«idy to make such appropriation
from the funds of the city as will be neces-
sary to realize the amount necessary to sus-
tain the hand during t he summer season.
"We are of the opinion that such an ap
propriation will meet the almost universal
approval of all citizens and taxpayers."
These petitions are being circulated among
citizens generally, and will be presented to
the mayor and city council for at t ion at
their next meeting. It is probable the
mayor will cal 1 a special meeting at an early
day to settle the very important question.
As previously stated m these columns, it is
the practice in many large cities to appro-
priate regularly every year for music in the
public parks.
Mr. Petit proposes to give two concerts a
week in the city park in order to justify and
warrant the council in making the appro-
priation.
If the city council should aet favorably
upon the petition that will be presented to
them, then another effort will bo made on
the part of the committee selected for that
purpose to raise the necessary funds to com-
plete the amount required "for the mainte-
nance oi' the band during the sum met*, and
it is believed that it can bo speedily raised,
for the universal feeling is against the ad-
mission idea.
