take the management of the Galveston house.
His many friends here will regret this change,

Cleburne, December 21.—Alvarado, in this
county, does not propose to let Grandview sur-
pass her in anything, and while Grandview had
a little $10,000 blaze day before yesterday,
Alvarado stepped boldly to the front with a
conflagration, in which nearly $30,000 worth
of property was destroyed. The fire was dis-
covered in the building of E. G. Adair, on the
south side of the .square, at 4 o'clock this morn-
ing, It caught from a defective flue, and
spread verv rapidly in both directions, east
and west. Half of the block was burned, and
the flames were only got under control by the
strenuous efforts of the citizens, when they
eached the two-story brick buiiding of J. B.
Poindexter. Notable among the men who
fought the fire most gallantly are Marion
Sanson and Hammett Ligon.

Columbus, December 21.—Sheriff Townsend
arrested on suspicion last night a negro man,

lease of said lands 5 cents per acre annually for
ten years, and several offers to buy. 'The

Improved Dwellings.
I New Y'ork Times ]
It is gratifying to note the success which has
attended the enterprise of providing improved
homes for the working people of the city. It
is now nine months since the Improved Dwell-
ings association erected their handsome build-
ings at Seventy-First and beventy-second
streets and First avenue. The agent is able to
report, as a result of the experiences of this
period, that the dwellings are now completely
occupied by an orderly class of tenants.
Though as populous as a beehive, the great
buildings are as quiet and orderly as a private
residence, and, what is better still, their exist-
ence has resulted in veiy materially improving
the tone and character of the neighborhood.
In this fact is to be found a potent cause
for wishing that the enterprise may
be extended, and it is pleasant to be-
lieve that the financial success of the
undertaking will prompt such an extension. It
would undoubtedly be a great boon and bless-
ing for the honest and industrious laboring
people if such buildings were to be counted by
the hundreds in the metropolis, for their suc-
cessful operation means a happier, better and
more home-like life for the great producing
class. The plan of the improved dwellings
can not be too highly commended. Stores of
all kinds are connected with the building, and
it is made part of the tradesman's duty in ac-
cepting a lease that the latter shall bo forfeited
if any overcharge or other extortion is attepted
with the tenant customers. So far as the ten-
ants are concerned, the sole stipulation is that
they shall be able to present credentia Is of
good moral character and live in cleanliness
and quietness. Any objectionable co.aduct
1 subjects them to the penalty of ejectment.

The comptroller, replying to Adjutant-
General King's inquiries as to the best mode
of preparing Texas accounts against the
Federal government, for frontier service, says
in substance, that in view of the United
States requirements, which oblige such
vouchers to be rendered in accordance with
the forms prescribed by military regulations,
differing from the system in use at the comp-
trollers office, a redistribution of the mixed
items is necessitated, and he deems a commission
of experts necessary to insure the proper presen-
tation of the vouchers, and recommends that
an appropriation, under the control of the gov
ernor, of -510,000, be made by the legislature to
prepare proofs, with reference to the accounts,
together with the historical and political data
required to'be furnished, showing the necessity
for calling out the frontier forces.
The following is from the advance sheets of
the report of the superintendent of the Lunatic
asylum: Number of inmates November 1,1881,

39. Total patients present during the year,
males, 252; females, 198. Discharged recov-
ered, males, 24; females, 13. Discharged im-
proved, males, 6; females, 2. Discharged
stationary, males, 3; females. 2. Discharged
not insane, males, 2. Escaped, males, 5. Died,

Numl>er on hand November 1, 1882, males, 196;
females, 162. Number of colored patients re-
maining, males, 19; females, 19. Since the or-
ganization of the asylum in 1861 there have
been admitted, males, 1018; females, 627. Dis-
charged recovered, males. 495; females, 219.
Discharged improved, males, 89; females, 90.
Discharged stationary, males, 40; females, 33;
discharged, not insane, males, 2; furlouglied,
females, 2; escaped, males, 32; females, 1; died,
males, 162; females, 119. Of those admitted
during the year, 24 were natives of Texas.
Of the marles admitted. 23 were farmers, the
balance distributed among the different trades
and professions. Of the femaies, 20 were
farmer's wives. There were 22 umuarried
males, and 5 females; married males, 22; mar-
ried females. 30; widowed, males, 2; females,
4; divorced, males, 1. Of the sup-
posed causes of insanity of those admitted,
religion stands highest in the list, loss
of children next, intemperance, domest ic busi-
ness and financial troubles next in order. The
complications of those admitted were: Epi-
leptic 3, paralytic 2, suieid il 11, homicidal 14,
hereditary 29, no complications 28. The dura-
tion of thn disease of those who recovered dur-
ing the year was: From three to six months,
5; recovered from six to nine months, 5; from
two to three years, 1; unknown, 1. Consump-
tion was the prevailing disease, and nearly
half of the deaths were from this cause. The
superintendent recommends the purchase of
200 acres of laud for cultivation by the patients,
and an appropriation of $12,000 or $15,000 to
erect quarters for the officers, who are forced
to inhabit a portion of the building originally
intended for the insane, constituting room for
forty patients; and a further appropriation of
at least half a million dollars to erect
another asylum to be located elsewhere. He
suggests a change in the law, which makes bi-
ennial changes in the superiutendency possible
without cause, as under such a system an effi-
cient superintendency is impossible. It re-
quires, he says, much of the two years for the
superintendent to become acquainted with all
the patients and familiarize himself with the
various phases of insanity. He would transfer
the appointing power to the board of managers,
which should be composed of men of large and
philanthropic views. He also recommends a
material increase in the salaries of attendant ,
in order that officiency in that direction be
brought within the range of possibility.
The mayor has issued a proclamation pro
hibiting fireworks within the city limits.
At a meeting of the Capitol Hoard the re-
solution offered some time ago by the attor-

ers to tender their resignations, was voted
down and confidence expressed in the commis-

board, as individuals, are in favor of an ap-
propriation of $3000, reimbursing the tempo-
rary capitol contractor for extra material
made necessary in effecting the changes in the
structure suggested by Colonel Meyers, and
which were not contemplated in the contract.
The state department, and probably the
omptroller's office, will be transferred to the

[Special Telegram to The News.]
New Orleans. December 21.—the News
has already published the fact that Secretary
Hester announced two days ago that the New
.Orleans Cotton Exchange, as a body, would
do nothing to further the proposed centennial
cotton exposition in 1884. Mr. John Phelps,
president of the Exchange, reinforced Mr.
i Hester's views to-day. He says the Exchange
does not believe that an exposition will confer
sufficient benefits to New Orleans to offset the
heavy outlay which it is understood will be re -
quired. But granting the reverse, we are of
< pinion that there are too many
essential improvements to which the
surplus funds of this community
may be devoted that would inure vastly more
to tho benefit, not only of this city, but of the
section tributary. Notwithstanding this de-
cided stand of the Cotton Exchange, the pro-
motel's of the scheme are not discouraged, and
still hope that the merchants and manufac-
turers of this city will subscribe the necessary
$500,000 to secure the exposition. The work
of securing subscriptions w ill begin in a few
days.

[Special Telegram to The News.]
Washington, December 21.—The Senate re-
fusing to concur in the House resolution to ad-
journ for the holidays, creates confusion in
congressional circles. Even if no holiday re-
cess is taken, there will not be a quorum in
either body, as members are already leaving
for home. It is likely that some agreement
will be reached by the two houses to-morrow,
and the committees will do nothing further
until about January 4, and even should Con-
gress sit, there will be nothing done.
Civil service reform is what the Senate pro-
poses to work on from now till January. There
are many senators who would like to see this
bill killed in some way, but fear to vote
against it.

Senate.
Washington, December 21.—3Ir. Pendleton pre-
sented a petition for allowance of a rebate equal
to anj- reduction that may be made in ihe tax on
tobacco, and 31r. Davis one praying for the repeal
of all taxes on tobacco. Mr. Pendleton said he
had received telegrams from prominent dealers in
whisky asking that immediate action be taken up-
on the bonded whisky bill.
31r. Bayard, from the finance committee, report-
ed asubstitnte for the McPherson resolution re-
lating to the reduction of the tobacco tax. It pro-
vides that whenever the tax on toba' «*o, snufl and
cigars shall be reduced a proportionate rebate on
the Tax paid on stocks on hand shall oc allo wed. 31r.
Bayard gave notic- that Le would ask considera-
tion of his resolution to-morrow in order .j quiet
the appreh' - sions of tho ..obaeco business .all over
the country.
Mr. Saunders offer-'d a resolution dcclarm^ it
the sense of the Senate that the pre *mptien law
which allows land to be entered or purchased at
$1 25 per acre without req .ir'.u * permanent settle-
ment should be repealed, and that hereafter all
government lands should be held and reserved for
actual settlement only. Referred.
31r. 3Iore:aa gave notice that he would offer an
amendment to the resolution of the Finance Com-
mittee, relative to tlie tax on tobacco, providing
that any rebate allowed be in certificates to cover
future taxation on manufactured spirits or tobacco.
The resolution providing for adjournment over
the holidays was taken up and discussed at length.
3Ir. Garland offered an amendment giving the
consent of the Senate to the House to taking re-
cess, and said he did not think the Senate could
afford to adjourn for so long a time. The amend-
ment was rejected—yeas, 17; nays. 45.
The question then recurred on the original reso-
lution providing for recess from December 22 to
January 2. Lost—ayes, 25: nays, 36.
In discussing the recess resolution, 3Ir. Conger
said the senator from Delaware vBayard) need not
be at a loss to understand the reasons which made
the Republican senators so earnest in their desire
to attend to public business at this time. They
Jaave been tormented by senators on the other side
in language only fit for shoeblacks, and been told
the people had* condemned tneir past action, and
he would admit the people must certainly be in a
strange and angry state of mind if
they could contemplate the setting aside,
even temporarily, of the Republican party,
which had saved the country, and intrusting the
government to hands of the Democracy. [Laughter.]
He had seen with intense sympathy the woe-be
gone expression of the senator trom Ohio iPendle-
ton> as he stood in the camp of the enemy (laugh-
ten and begged his fellow-Democrats in vain to let
the senator proceed and act upon his civil service
reform bill. There was someting heroic in the
attitude that tlie senator took in standing there
trving to save the country from his political
friends (laughter); but the senator from Georgia
(Brown) also occupied a heroic position when he
declared it was no time to pass the civil service
bill, which would keep Republicans in
office aud keep Democrats out. [Laughter.]
That senator was logical aud the senator from
Ohio (Pendleton) could not answer him. Indeed,
the senator from Ohio, himself, was now carried
for ard in support of his civil service bill by mo-
mentum whicli he acquired in his past efforts for
its passage, at a time when he did not dream
tnere was any prosnect of his own party coming
into power and having a chance to fill these of-
fices. [Laughter.] 31 r. Williams opposed the
civil service bill as impracticable and worthless.
The only practical attempt he had seen made to
reform the service was a proposition of his col-
league (Beck) to inquire ifito abuses per-
petrated by Republican oflieials in the
last campaign, and that was smothered
by coupling with if an entirely irrelevant
inquiry. He was in favor of every real reform, but
he would not vote for this little sham for tlie same
reason that he declined to vote last session for tlia;
other sham, the little revenue bill. This bill pro-
posed a system of competitive examinations for
the lower offices as a sort of sausu^e-stuffer
through which each man must pass before he
could get into the general strings. [Laughter.]
There was a great deal of nonsense talked about
civil service reform. Real reform would consist in
putting decent and honest men in high places, and
letting them bring back the government of the re-
public to the principles and .practices of
its earlier and better days. He would
like to see the Democratic members of Congress
who would go back to his constituents and tell
them he had voted to make the tenure of present
office-holders permanent, in order to keep his
friends from oetng tempted in office - seeking.
[Laughter ] How many votes would that man get?
Why, he'd be hooted. People think, and I do. that
whichever party is in power has the right to put its
friends in office. As for this poor little thin:/ that
is before us. 1 don't think it amounts to anything.
Old Hickory Jackson would put his foot on it in a
minute [Laughter.] I don't think it would be lnw
if we passed it. Y'et it might bother us a little
when we come on, and I don i wan: any obstruc-
tions in our way. [Laughter.] The only way to
reform is to elect an honest president in 1SS1. turn
on'hose. give him a hickory broom and tell him to
sweep the platter clean. [Laughter.]
The amendments :o the agricultural bill reported
by the committee were agreed to and the bill
passed
The consideration of the civil service bill was
then resumed.
The amendment proposed by 3Ir. Pendleton,
striking out the provision that entrance to the ser-
vice shall be at the lowest grade and substituting
one that appointments shall be apportioned as
nearly as possible among the States and Territories
and District of Columbia upon a basis of popula-
tion, was agreed to.
31r. Cockerill made argument to show this bill, if
passed, would not give the president or heads of
departments any more power to reform, to purify
the service, than they had already under existing
laws. The Republican party had full power for
years to enforce these lav s, and to pass others if
these were not su.llcieut, but it nad not
done it, because it had no real desire
for reform. The efficacy of this bill would depend
on the executive, and be did not believe that, under
Republican administration, it would accomplish
anything in the way of reform. Under a Demo-
cratic administration it would; but a Democratic
administration would reform service without any
such law. But, though he had tie faith iu this as a
reform measure, he would voce for it, because the
representative w ished to have it. an 1 he was willing
to give them one more opportunity to reform the
great abuses for whicii tney were responsible.
House.
Washington, December 21.—In the House Mr.
KePey, of Pennsylvania, chairman of the Ways
aud 3Ieans Committee, reported a resolution de-
claring it the sense of the House, that in case the
internal revenue laws be so amended as to abolish
the tax on tobacco, snuff and cigars, or other a;*
tides, provision should be made allowing a rebate
)n the tax paid on stock on hand at the time such
law goes into effect, provided such stock is stamped
and in uubroken package-.
3Ir. Kasson.of I ova, in behalf of the minority com-
mittee. reported a substitute resolution declaring,
that in the judgment of the House, no further re-
duction of the tax on manufactured tobacco should
be made than that provided for in the House bill to
reduce the internal revenue taxation, now pending
in tlie Senate.
A debate ensued, during which 3Ir. Hatch, of
31issouri, said that until the Committee on Ways
and Means allows farmers and producers of
tobacco some relief nothing should be considered
by unanimous consent in favor of manufacturers.
31 r. Butterworth, of Ohio, asked that the resolu
tion be made the special order for to-morrow.
3Jr. Hatch objected.
The resolution was then referred to committee of
the whole, and Mr. Keliey gave notice, he would
as* for its consideration to-day or to-morrow.
After explanation of the biii by 3Ir. Butterworth,
of Ohio, Mr. Hewitt, of New York, addressed him
self to the consideration of the provision that for
army transportation, laud Kraut roads which have
received government aid by loan, or guarantee of
bonus, shall be allowed compensation of not ex-
ceeding 50 per cent, of the amount paid by private
parties for the same kind of service. 3lr. Hew itt
said the provision attached to this bill was in sub-
stance tlie same as the one attached to the post-
office appropriation bill by tlie amendment of the
gentlemen from New Jersey t Mr. Robeson). It was
a curious and suggestive fact that the gentleman
who reported the postoffice appropriation bill was
opposed to the ameudm. nt w hich was forced upon
it, and that tlie gentleman who reported this <>ill
to-day announced he w as opposed to this provision.
3Ir. Butterworth said ho nad expressed his uu
wiiiinguess to give his consent to the doctrine that
the government might arbitrarily tlx the conden-
sation to Pacific railroads for carrying govern-
ment supplies.
3lr. Hewitt, resuming, said: The only issue was
whether the government or the stockholders
owned the roads.
His colleague, 3Ir. Hiscock. said they were the
property of the government, aud that Congress
might do what it pleased with them, and in doing
this he proposed to violate the plighted faith of
tho Government. The proposition involved tae re-
pudiation of the solemn obligations of this country.
This proposition was not only abhorrent to the
moral sense, but it was an act of grevious folly.
Let the debt cf the road to the government, in-
stead of being paid in fifteen years, be extended for
fifty years. It could be extended at 3 per cent,
without any trouble, thus saving 3 per cent, per
annum. Let the governaient agree to extend the
debt fifty years at 3 per cent, provided the com-
panies would pay 6 per cent, into tlie sinking fund.
Of this 6 per cent., one-half would be required to
pay interest on tho bonds, and the remaining
naif would go into the sinking fund, and at the end
of the fifty years would liquidate the debt. He
would otter,*at the proper time, an amendment
by which the House should specially take action
if it should be held or construed to impair obliga-
tions created by the sinking fund act.
3lr. Hiscock said i:' he understood his colleague,
he was willing to brush away all le^al subtleties
and plant himself on the higher doctrine of doing
what ass right.
Mr. Hewitt No, I said just the reverse; I said
thai whether we had the power or not, 1 was not
willing to do what was wrong.
3Ir rlis : Again, 1 repeat their property has
been d Mini- <1 So them, every doll-* " of i;, by the
t eueral government, aud I urge thu> as a reason
why 'm. shouiu d;.-p®:;e of condensation which

| ters 1.1 the act of is»i l. under w ;nch tnese railroads
I took va uable proi-^rty, v. e have the right to repeal
absolutely, but claiming that that is law, I do rot
advocate that we should do it.
Mr. Butterworth—The gentleman thinks Congress
has that power?
Mr. Hiscock—Yes.
3Ir. Butterworth—Under the right to repeal that
charier does he insist Congress has the right to re-
peal the charter without reserving the rights of
those who took interest under the grant?
Mr. Hiscock-Doubtless I should reserve their
rights. Does the gentleman deny that Congress
has the power to establish reasonable, just and
right compensation?
Mr. Butterworth—I agree Congress is able to
determine what reasonable and just compensation
is. It has the power to do it, but I deny the power
of Congress to determine arbitrarily what is rea-
sonable and just. I am in favor of dealing closely
aud carefully with these corporations, and not
paying them one scruple more than they are enti-
tled to; but I am in favor of preserving the public
faith to corporations as to individuals.
3Ir. Hiscock asserted Congress was justified in
determining what was reasonable, and there was no
appeal from its decision. The railroaas were
charging exorbitant rates and he believed that was
a question over which Congress had jurisdiction,
and that having jurisdiction, it was its duty to
establish a schedule of prices rather than remit it
to the future to be determined by litigation between
the government and the corporations.
Mr. Hooker, of Mississippi, opposed the pro-
visions of the bill. Would the gentleman under-
take to assert that the government, in view of
either of grants of land or subsidies, has a right to
take these railroads and tear up the track from
Omaha to San Franciscor Did* they want to restore
a grant of an immense tract of land to its pristine
severaltj*?
if Congress had the power to fix the compensa-
tion at 50 per cent., it had the power to say it
would give nothing. The government had been
generous and liberal to these Pacific companies,
but it could have afforded to have given ten thou-
sand times more than it had to effect the union of
the two great oceans which lapped the continent.
3Ir. Reagan, of Texas, regarded the provision as
a curious one. looking at it in the light in which ic
would be considered by the courts. Because the
rates were exorbitant it was proposed to say the
government would only pay half rates. It did not
propose to limit the charges to half the present
rates, but to half of reasonable rates. Congress
must first declare what reasonable rates were for
transportation, and then the government, like other
people, would be compelled to pay them. He did
not think the government could exact the per-
formance of service for half of reasona-
ble rates. He believed it to be of tlie
highest importance that Congress should
assume regulation of rates. But he wanted it done in
a spirit of justice—in a spirit which looked to tho
cutting down of the arbitrary proportion of
through and local freight discrimination.
3fr. Robeson, of New Jersey, in supporting the
provision, quoted from the act of 1SC6 to the effect
that the government, if necessary, coidd require
the transportation of its property free of cost. He
did not be'ieve the highest judicial tribunal of the
land would render a decision taaL lift all the trans-
position of the government a., the mercy of a rail-
i oad company. Congress would then see whether
it was bound hand and foot, or whether there was
constitutional power enough in tV government.
31r. Rannev. of Massachusetts- -Wonld you pa
an unjust act?
3lr. beson
ould you pass
, I would nol pass an unjust act;
but I say it is reasonaole *Lat tney should convey
United States troops at half the price that they are
now exacting from the producer who has no rem-
edy against them.
3Ir. Robinson, of 3Iassachusetts, said that on a
hasty examination he found that the statute the
gentleman from New Jersey had read applied only
to the Oregon line.
3Ir. Robeson replied: Even if that were so it
would interpret the meaning of the term "reason-
able " in the other acts.
3!r. KoJman, of Indiana, supported the provision,
denying it would invade tne rights of private pro-
pert}-.
3Ir. Robinson said the gentleman from NeW
Jersey had quoted the statute stating that the
government could require the transportation of its
property for nothing, and had logically deduced
from that, that it could fix the compensation at
50 per cent, of the present rates. The answer to
that was the statute had no reference to any road
except one from Marysville. Cal., to Portland, Ore-
gon. and he was informed that road had never been
constructed. There was something radically wrong
about these citations from acts and court decisions.
There was somewhere in every man an impulse
that told him.that in dealing with other people he
wanted to deal squarely. Somehow every man
wanted to feel up to the dignity of living up to a
bargain, whatever it was, and he (Robinson)
knew it would be the temper and discretion of the
House to put its foot on any power of readjustment
which should amount to repudiation. [Applause.!
This was a great government, but it would be weali
beyond description when it ceased to do a right and
just thin^.
General debate then closed, but withont further
action the committee rose, and, after granting
twenty-five leaves of absence, the House ad-
journed.
