up the matt* r, have come to the con
elusion that a people who could,
within twelve year* build up auch a
city from the veiy ground, deserve
recognition at their haadi. li Deni-
son continues to ioiprove in the fu
tore as she lias in the past, and con-
tinues to advocate a liberal education

Washington, D. C., Mar. 7 1884.
THE UNITED STATES COUNTS IN.
NORTHERN TEXAS.
The Judiciary Committee of the
House of Representatives on last
Friday morning, unanimously agreed
to establish two places foi* bolding
U S. Courts in northern Texas, with
jurisdiction over the Chickasaw, and
part oi the Ohoctaw nations. One

The Paris Court will have juris-
diction over the southeastern portion
of the Cnoclaw nation, and Lamar,
Fannin, Red River and Delta coun-
ties in Texas. The counties of La-
mar, Fannfn and Delta are detached
from the northern judicial district o!
Texas and attached to the eastern
judicial district- The detaching ot
these counties ia done for the pur-
pose ot taking off the amount cf
business in those counties from the
northern district, as will be about
eqial to the business that will be
added br attaching the Cbickasaws
and part of the Choctaws.
Then cornea the United States
Court for Denison. This court will
have jurisdiction over the counties of
Grayson, Cook and Montague, and
the Chickasaw nation entire, and the
south and western Choctaws. It can
be seen at a glance that the court at
Denison will be an important one.
Writ, the fight hat been a long and
tedious one. Denison, without a
doubt has all the advantage of loca*
lion in her favor. Bat the great se-
cret of Denison's success, arises from
the fact that ahe had tia able and in-
defatigable worker in 'the person of
Maj. L. L. Maughs. When he ar-
rived here he tound that other aspi-
rants had representatives here, who
did all they could to secure the prise.
Without any blowing o! horns, or
sounding of gongs, Major Maugha
sat down to a regular saige of the
garrison. He was gentlemanly,
courteous but firm in his efforts. He
took no position until he was sure
that It could not be taken either by a
direct assault, or by flanking. His
persistent but courteous Sticking to
his business, won the good will of
sll ths membeis of the Tudiciary
Committee; so much so, indeed,
that they have made him the 16th
member of the committee. This is
what Gen. P. A. Collins, of Mss*.,
jocularly told me yesterday; and
while telling me this, he tool*occa-
sion to compliment the Major in the
highest terms, at a gentleman, and
indefatigable worker.

is concerned, the Major's work is

A Sun reporter visited Mr. Taylor
of Chatham square, yesterday, for
the purpose of inquiring as to the
arrangements for meeting the popu-
lar wants in the way of rotary music
during the approaching open season.
Mr. Taiylor was doing the marking
preliminary to plugging “Over the
Brooklyn Bridge’’ into the barrel of
an organ that was about halt loaded.
“What is to be the tune of the
year I” the reporter inquired.
‘•Swee-ee-t Vio-leta—” sang a
green parrot that was perched on
the top of a big mechanical organ
pipe.
“Site's got 'Sweet Violets’ • on the
brain,” said Mr. Taylor, “from
hearing it to much. She is not far
out of the way either in her answer,
for 'Sweet Violets’ will have to be
in almost every organ that goes into
the country. There rfre tfto or three
other songs ot Fritz’s that will ^be
played a great deal this season.

And went to stealing cattle.
And there with more than royal pluck,
He did his pleasing duty.
And, meeting with uncowmou h;ok.
He smarted fiome with booty.

While marching out to battle,
