Austin, Tex., August 1.—
The House filibustred on the re-
beiving of the resolution to ad-
journ on the 31st, from 7:30 A.
M. till Sunday morning at seven
o’clock, in one continuous ses-
sion, and adjourned on Sunday
morning until 8:30 Monday
morning, by written agreement
signed by the leaders of the mi-
norith and accepted by the ma-
jority. ~
The agreement was in effect
that neither side should lose or
gain anything by the adjourn-
ment, but should assemble Moil-
ing with precisely such lights
as they would have, should the
House remain in continued ses-
sion till Monday morning with-
out adjournment. Monday
morning the Governor seut a
message asking the Legislature
not to adjourn, that imperative
demands for the proper working
of the Government and many
provisions iu the constitution
which this Legislature is com-
manded to put in force at its
first session, is left entirely un-
touched and unenforced by leg-
islative action, aud the follow-
ing consequences would ensue:
A specian session of the Legis-
lature, at a cost of two and a
half times as much as the con-
tinuation of the present session,
besides a large number of unfin-
ished bills, which must necessa-
rily be thrown away and new
ones introduced. On the mo-
tion that the message be read,
Coleman, of Harrison county,
directly insulted the chief exec-
utive by offering a resolution in
a vindictive manner, that the
message be printed in Dutch
and laid on the table. Afte-
two hours of an exciting sessioi
the House adjourned to meet a
3:30 p. m. After adjourning
the minority, consisting of tliii
ty-three members, went int<
session and elected Kessler, o
Bexar, temporary chairman
Several resolutions were passed
condemning the Speaker am.
the majority, and at twelve
o’clock adjourned sine die. Tin
majority then held a session a
the Court of Appeals’ room
The majority passed a resol ir
hition asking the members of
the minority to return, to aid
them in passing such laws a;*
were required by the constitu
tiou. The Sergeant at Arms
read the resolution to the minor-
ity and they refused to return—
made no answer. Tee House
then adjoprned until nine o’clock
this morning, No quorum.
The House ordered the Ser
geant at Arms to arrest all ab-
sent menbers. The Sargeant
went to the Court ot Appeals’
room, where the minority were
iu session, and arrested and
brought them into the House.
Northing, Garriug, Brooks, and
Havues took their seats, under
protest. The House then ad-
journed until 3:30 P.M.; twenty-
five members still remaining un-
der arrest. There will probably
be a quorum then.
The action of the minority has
done more towards a division of
the State than has ever been
done before.
The Governor has sent in a
message recognizing the majori-
ty as the working body of the
House.
The Senate is in session and
working very harmoniously.
Eldorado, Ks, July 31.—The
Butler county Bank of this
place failed last week or rather
closed its doors. No cards or
explanations. Two of the deposi-
tors demanded their money at
the point of a six shooter and
got it the third demanded his
and got into a wrangle with the
president Mr. Gossard* He
Gossard, drawing a pistol and
snapping several times then the
depoisitor named Shcehann shot
and killed Gossard instantly,
there is great excitement.
Philadelphia, July 31,’76.
—The mulatto man, named
George, whose story, relative to
Charlie Boss, has been widely
circulated in this and other pa-
pers, has lelt for parts unknown.
His exit was as suddeu as his
entree. Little credence is plac-
ed in the story he told, but it
will not be dropped without a
proper investigation*

ote upon the articles of im-
»eacliiuent against Belknap, late

icle of impeachment, 35 seua-
ors voted guilty and 25, not
• uilty, for want of jurisdiction,

linghuysen, Hamlin, Hoke, In-
galls, Jones, Nev.,. Logan. Me..
Millan,’Paddock,JSpencer, West,
Windom and Wright. Jones,
of Floiida, declined to vote on
the ground that the senate has
no jurisdiction. The presiding
officer announced that two
thirds had not voted guilty and
therefore the respouted was a "
quited of the charge on the lii *
article.
On the second article, 36 sen-
ators ‘voted guilty and 25 not
guilty. Morrill, who did not
answer ou first roll call, voted
guilty upon the second article.
Those senators who voted not
guilty, repeated their reason
for .doing sc, want of jurisdic-
tion.
Chicago, Aug. 1.—J. S. Pol-
and, a Captain in the Sixth In-
fautrv writes from the Read
%
quarters of the millitary station
at Steuding JJRock, under date
of July 24th, to the Adjutant
General of the Department of
Minnesota'' at St. Paul, giving
the Indian accounts of the bat-
tle of Little Big Horn, on July
26th, The account does not dif.
ferjessentially from reports al-
ready published; it says, how-
ever, that Silting Bull was nei-
ther killed nor personally en-
gaged in the light. He remained,
in council directing operrtions.
Crazy Horse, with a large band
and Black Moon, were the prin-
cipal leaders on the 2oth o 4
June. Kill Eagle, Chief of the
Black Feet, at the head of some
twenty lodges was at the agency
:*boot*the last of May; he was
prominently engaged in ihe bat-
. tie of June 25th and afteruar
| upbraided Sitting Bull for not
i taking an active personal part
i in the engagement.
