What Pistol Practice Costs.

of pistol practice acainsc a woodpile near the

Decoration Day.
In Galveston yesterday was observed as a gen
eral holiday by the Cotton Exchange, Postoffice',aud

tribute Co the day. and all through the city there
appeared to be a general spirit of quiet, not to say
absolute dullness, but there were no regular exer-
cises he|d, as is the beautiful custom in other
cities, nor, Indeed, is it known whether beyond an
especial few, auy of the graves of the fifty-odd
men who died for the Union were strewn with
1 flowers.
A News reporter visited the cemetery to see if
any one had remembered the brave boys iu blue.
There were the usual number of workmen in the
grounds attending to their established duties. Here
and there could be seen a lady .scatteringflowers
over the mound that hid the dust of a friend or a
loved one. Beyond this, however, nothing could
be noted to distinguish the day from any other in
the calendar.

A Testimonial for Captain Burrows.
The following communication in the New York
Herald expresses the sentiments of a very large
list of friends in Galveston who have always
known the old tar as one of the noblemen created
by nature, and have loved him for his big-hearted-
ness, his bravery and his gentleness. It is whis-
pered that just such a movement as is suggested
in the card below is oa foot in this city, and what
is largely better was begun as soon as the news of
Captain Burrows's noble work was received. The
whisper further says that so soon as he gets back
to Galveston the full de-alls will be made known:
New York, May 22, 1SS2. -Having read in the
Herald o; May 20 of the 44 extraordinary feat at
sea '• performed by Captain Albert C. Burrows, of
the steamship Ri > Grande, Mallory line, I beg
leave to say this seem to ine an occasion when a
gift more substantial than 4' complimentary reso-
lutions" might with prop tie ty be pre en'ed to the
captain and his crew. lam not one who admires
the inappropriate and profuse manner or giving in
favor at the present day, but it seeuis to me that
when men who in trouble have your life in their
keeping, and by their bravery and cool-headed
conduct, under Providence, preserve that life to
you and j'our I vii g family, r.nat some permanent
e.xpre sion of thankfulne s is hut their due. Ex-
cuse the suggestion, if premature or if inappro-
priate, as I, of course, am not aware of the worldly
means of the passengers. S*ill, even this " widow's
mite would perhaps speak volumes. I have no
acquaintance with Captain A. (.'. Burrows, but
permit me to say God lias blessed him, and if ever
I cross the ocean I hope that the captain who com
mauds the steamer I >ail in may be as true a sailor
and as brave and thoughtful for others as Captain
A. C Burrows has proved himself to be.

THE SECOND CHAPTER.
Death of Henry Strayne Last Nlglit-
Description of the Fatal Wound—The
Inquest to be Held To-Day.
At 8 o'clock last night death came to the relief
of Henry Strayne. who on Monday afternoon was
shot in the Bay saloon by J. T. Wood, the bar-
keeper of the establishment. Just prior to the de-
mise of the unfortunate man a News re-
porter visited the hospital, and, accompanied
by House Surgeon Dr. W. L. Rogers, entered the
ward where Strayne lay in an unconscious con-
dition, with his eyes fixed in the same glassy stare
as when he fell to the floor immediately after the
fatal shot. His pulse weakening with each suc-
ceeding beat, his ibreathing thick and more dif-
liei.it with every respiration. conve3*ed in language
plainer than words that the end was only the
question of a few hours. It was a fight against
fate fr^in the beginning, and none knew it better
than the surgeon in charge. All they could do
was to ease the victim's final moments, and the
best evidence of that fact is that he passed away
\\ ithout a struggle. In an interview with Dr.
Rogers, it transpired that the heavy caliber bullet
entered the parietal eminence, fracturing the skull
and penetrating the brain in a downward and up-
ward direction, making its exit at a point about
two and a half inches from the entrance, aud car-
rying away about three ounces of the brain. And
yet withal. Strayne, with great vitality, survived
twenty-nine hours after receiving the wound.
The victim was a native of Scotland, aged forty
one years, and resided at the corner of Strand and
Ninth streets. Rt- leaves a wife aud a family. The
inquest will be held to-day. %
As soon a-; the announcement of Strayne's death
was made. Justice Braaaau impaneled a jury and
repaired to tue hospital, where the body was
viewed and the evidence of the attending physician
taken. The further inqutry was then adjourned
uuil y o'clock t/iis morning, when it will be re-
sumed at Judge Brauiin's office.

Insane from Fright.
The following, from the.New York Herald of the
23d. tells its ow n story. Whether the young man
took passage here or at Key West could not last
night be learned:
A commotion was created at the Castle Garden
landing dock, early on Saturday evening, by the
excited words and actions of a young man, who
forced his wav about among the throngs of immi-
grants coming ashore from the barges, and be
nought them, in affrighted words, to " Hurry up,
for God's sake! The ship is on fire! " He labored
under the hallucination that he was on shipboard,
that the ship was in llames, and that they were all
in imminent danger of being destroyed.
It was found upon investigation that the man
was a raving maniac. His name, as appeared
from papers in his pocket, is John H. Housby. He
is an Englishman, about thirty years of age. He
was a steerage passenger on the Galveston sieamer
Rio Grande, which took fire last Tuesday at sea.
and which was saved by the remarkable efforts of
Captain Burrows, as narrated in the Herald last
Saturday. Housby's terrible experiences during
the alarm which followed among the passengers
when the fire was discovered were too much tor
His brain, lie continued to manifest great excite-
ment long, after the danger was all over, but it
vas not known that he was insane when the
steamer reached here on Friday. He seemed to
3>e iu agonies of fear when found at Castle Garden,
and was very violent. He was locked up tor safe
seeping, and yesterday was consigned to thee us

THE HIGHER COURTS.
SYNOPSIS OF THE OPINIONS OP TUB
APPELLATE COURTS.
[Austin Term, 1882.]
[Reported by David H. Hewlett, of the Austin Bar.]
Supreme Court.
Leon Blum, Hyman Blum and Sylvan Blum vs.
Samuel Gaines and S. R. Gerald—Appeal from
Burleson c. •unty.;Tkis court is asked iu this appeal
to reconsider an l overrule the case of Kesler vs.
Draub (52 Texas, 575), in which it was held that
when a homestead has been ouce acquired, the
subsequent deah, marriage or removal, of all the
individuals who compose the family except the
surviving husband, does net subject the home-
stead to forced sale, under a judgment against
him, he still occupying it as a homestead. And
this is the only and sole question presented in this
appeal. Held, that both on reason and authoritv.
that the rule announced iu Kassler vs. Draub (52
Texas. 574) is sound, aud the doctrine of that case
is reaffirmed. Judgment affirmed. Bonner, J.
M. L. Jackson. Administratrix, vs. W. W. Pearc;
--Appeal from Bosque. The father of appellee, iJ
1SG7. conveyed the land in controversy to appellee;
iu 1875 the appellee reconveyed to his father; aud
in 1870 he executed another conveyance to nis
(.appellee's) wife. In an action of trespass to try
title, brougnt by the adiuistratrix of the father's
estate to recover the laud, the appellee, in the
right of his wife under the deed, defended on the
ground as testified by him on the stand, that the
purchase money for tne land had never been paid
by the f tther, and that the conveyance to his wife
was made in consideration of her separate tunds
used by him. The court charged that if the
purchase money had not been paid by the
father, A. C. Pearce, to the son, W. W Pearce. f'-r
the land, ths superior, equitable title reman ed in
t'ie vendor as between the parties. Held, that u.i*
charge wa> erroneous; the deed is not set out in
the record, but is described as a deed for th
laud, and must be presumed to be an ordinal y
conveyance with-yo reservation of a lien upon its
face; such a deecFpasses tne title and gives a right
to the possession of the land. [Baker vs. Camp ton,
52 Tex., 252.1 This erroneous charge must lead to
a reversal of the Case. That it is unnecessary to
notice other questions not likely to recur the court
remarks; that the superior legal title being in the
estate represented by the ajipellant auy equitable
defense *>et up, such as that the wife of appellee
is an innocent purchaser, without notice of the
previous conveyance by her husband, should be
affirmatively and elearlv established. Reversed
and remanded. Gould, C. J.
Court of Appeals.
Jack Smith vs. The State—Appeal from Tarrant
county. 31otion for rehearing. Conviction and
affirmance by this court for theft of a valise and
clothing belonging to one Patton from a room on
Texas and Pacific Railroad. Defendant gave no
account of his iwjssession of the articles stolen;
charge of the court was sufficient and there was
no occasion to charge on reasonable doubt between
grand and petit larceny. Motion for rehearing de-
nied. Per curiam.
George Dickerson vs. The State ok Texas—Ap-
peal from Colorado county. Appellant was con-
victed of burglary from R. P. Tendick's store-
house. After his arrest he made confessions to
the sheriff of guilt, after repeated warnings of the
consequences. Held, that the admission of the
evidence of such confession was therefore proper.
The charge was proper, aud the court did not err
in refusing to give the special charge on circum"
stantial evidence, as the defendant's confession
was before the jury properly, and the jury was
fully instructed as to the reasonable doubt to
which the defendant was entitled.
Arch Johnson vs. The State—Appeal from
Mitcliel county. The appellant makes a motion
for rehearing, and tiles as an exhibit to his motion
the certificate of the clerk below showing both a
recognizance and notice of appeal given, upon the
absence ot which from the record the appeal was
dismissed at a former day of this term. Held,
that motion must be denied because the exhibit
attached purporting to be the recognizance of de
fendaut states as the offense of which the appel-
lant was convicted, " keeping a table for gaming,"
without stating that it was used for gaming, and
if ihe motion was granted and certiorari awarded,
the case would then have to be dismissed for de
fective recogniz ince. Motion overruled; rehearing
denied. Per curiam.
Clint Perry vs. The State—Appeal from Falls
county. This was a conviction for theft of money;
and the confessions of defendant were infroduced
without objection, and the evidence clearly iden-
tities both defendants. The judgment is affirmed.
Per curiam.
T. R. Kino vs. The State—Appeal from Falls
county. Appellant was indicted for an ag-
gravated assault, and convicted ot a simple
as-aul.; this amounts to an acquittal of
the higher grade. An omission to charge the
law correctly upon an aggravated assault did not
injure the defendant, and it is admitted that the
facts show a simple assault. The motion for new
trial, on account of newly discovered evidence,
fail.* to show diligence. The judgment is affirmed.
Per curiam.
Lee A. Dyer vs. The State of Texas—Appeal
from Montague county. Defendant was indicted
June 23, 1873. for assault with intent to murder,
and was tried on the Gth of December, 1881, and
adjudged guilty of an aggravated assault, and
lined $25. Defendant insisted that, becau e ou the
21 h of July, 1874, an order was made by the court,
duly entered of record at the instance of the dis-
trict attorney, dismis-ing said cau->e from the
docket aud filing of the papers, and the failure to
issue any capias for defendant until after June
term, 1881, nor any other act done by the Siaie to
ward prosecution of the case until after June term
1881, that the statute of limitation ran against the
prosecution from July, 1874, to June, 1881. Held,
that the court below did not err in excluding evi-
dence sustaining such plea. Judgment affirmed.
White, P. J.
W. W. Gilley vs. The State—Appeal from
Montague couutv. Willfully disturbing a congre-
gation assembled for religious worship is an offense
specially denounced by the statute. That the dis-
turbance is willful is an essential element of ihe
offense, aud a recognizance on appeal, from a con-
viction of such offense, to this court, which fails
In its description of the offense to include the
term 14 willful" is fatally defective, in that it
does not describe an offense; and an.appeal based
on such recognizance must be dismissed. Per
curam.
Tom Petit vs. The State—Appeal from Travis
county. The appellant was iudicted and convict-
ed for theft of a horse. The evidence showed
that the owner of the horse pursued and recovered
the animal iu Travis counti*. the appellant hav-
ing sold her. When the case was called for trial,
the appellant made a motion to continue for
the want of the testimony oi certain witnesses,
which wa* overruled by the court. A motion for
new trial based on such action* of the court was
made. Held, that as the mo*ion for continuance
showed a want of dilligence in procuring the at-
tendance of the witnesses, and no appearance of
the truth of the evidence expected from such wit-
nesses in connection with the evidence adduced
appeared; that the court did not err in overruling
said motion for continuance, nor the motion for
new trial based on such action. Affirmed. Per
curiam.
W. J. Fitzgerald vs. The State—Appeal from
Tarrant county. In this cause the statement of
facts in the record is neither signed by counsel nor
approved by the court, and that the cause was
submitted to the court without the intervention of
a jury. Held, that this court will not consider
such a purported statement of facts, nor will this
court disturb the the conclusion of the court upon
the facts any more than tne verdict of a jury, un-
less the evidence is directly against the judgment.
Affirmed. Per curiam.
l. S. Crittchfield vs. The State—Appeal from
Jack county. Appellant was indicted and con-
victed on an Indictment for keeping and exhibiting
a gaming table. One of the objections urged
against the indictment, and upon which are urged
this appeal, was that the indictment was duplici-
tous. Held, that such indictment is not duplici-
tous; further, that merely asking the court to read
to the jury an article of the statute is not equiva-
lent to asking a charge, as the defendant is re-
quired to ask his special charges in writing; fur-
ther, that a bill of exceptions to testimonv ad-
mitted, which fail* to point out the grounds of ob-
lection, is insufficient. Judgment affirmed. White,
Taylor & Johnson vs. The State—Appeal from
Travis. In this cause it appears from the record
that the charge of the court here complained of
was no: complained of iu the court below, nor any
charge asked on the question at issue, in the
charges, at the proper time, nor exception taken
in the court below. Held, that this court will not
undertake to review the action of the court below
under such a state of the record. Affirmed. Per
curiam.
J. R. Welden vs. The State—Appeal from
Brown county. The appellant was convicted of
arson in burning the jail and court-house of
Brown county and sentenced to twenty years' con-
finement in the penitentiary. Appellant was a
prisoner in the jail at the time, and the evidence
showed a combination between the appellant and
others to burn the jail and court-house, the two
being under the same roof. Upon the case being
called the defendant'moved for a continuance for
want of testimony of a witness, which was over-
ruled by the c^urt. The defendant asked a special
oharge, which was refused, to the effect that if at
one time he agreed or consented to the burning of
such houses at r. time previous to the burning, out
had abandoned'such intent and so announced it to
tho<e with whom such agreement was made, that
his mere presence in the jail at the time it wap
burned would not make him a principal. Held,
that as the refusal of the court to grant a continu-
ance w as not excepted to, that this court will nut
revise the action of the court below; that the
special charge asked aud refused was not sup-
ported by the evidence, and its refusal did not
prejudice the defendant. Affirmed. White, P. J.
Ed. Morgan vs. The State—Appeal from Brown
county. Appellant was convicted for burglary
and sentenced to three years confinement in the
peuitentiary. The record discloses that the charge
complained of in this oourt was not ouly not ex-
cepted to at the time it was given, but "was not
complained of iu the motion for new trial, nor was
there any exception to the action of the court in
overruling the motiou for coutinuance. HeW. that
this court can not revise the action of the court be-
low under such circum-tances, but can only affirm
the judgment. Affirmed. White, P. J.
A. W. McClure vs. The State—Appeal from
Atascosa. Appellant was indicted for carrying a
)istol and convicted, and his fine assessed at $25.
Jefense. that he was a traveler. The evidence was
that at the time defeudunt was seen with a pistol
he was going to hi« home, distant about twelve
miles from the county site, where he had been iu
attendance on the court as a witness. This testi-
mony was excluded bv the court. Objection to
the indictment is also interposed that it does not
charge that defendant44 unlawfully " carried a pis-
tol. Held, that defendant was not a traveler;-that
the word unlawfully is not necessary in describing
the offense (Pickett vs. State. 10 Ct. App.). and that
as the defendant, who was present, did not object
when the county attorney stated that the court
might charge the jury verbally, he can not now
complain, Judgment affirmed. White. P. J.
Albert Gardner vs. The State—Appeal from
Coleman county. The only question involved in
this case arises upon the objection raised by the
appellant to the appointment of the jury commis-
sioners, who selected the jury by which he was
tried, they being appointed at the November term,
1381. to select the jury for that term, and appel-
lant havi g been tried at that time. Held, ihat
(arr. 3027 Rev. Sts.) provides for the appointment
of jury commissioners for the County Court. Said
article also provides that the rules applicable to
tne District Court apply to the C unty Court, and
(art. 3022 Rev. Sts.) provides thai if commissioners
are not appointed at the proper time they may be
afterwards appointed. Judgment affirmed. Per
curiam.
E. R. Salmon vs. the State.—Appeal from
Montague county. The statement of facts in this
cause appeared to have been filed more than teu
.lays after the adjournment of the court. Held,
that such statement of facts, are entitled to, and
will receive no consideration for any purpose on
appeal. That an inspection of the original infor-
mation, brought up in the record discloses that it
is not amenable to the objections urged against it,
however correct such objections may be as ab-
stract principles of law. The judgment is affirmed*
Per curiam.
The Talk of the Town.
Columbus, Ga., February 4, 1S81—H. H.
Warner & Co.—Sirs : Your Safe Kidney and
Liver Cure beats all the medicines I have ever
heard of for kidney and liver diseases. It
has cured a genuine case of Bright's Disease
here in Columbus (Judge F. M. Brooks), and
that is proof enough for me. It is the talk of
the town. J. N. Gilbert, M. D.
WASHINGTON.
FORTY-SEVENTH CONGRESS — FIRST
REGULAR SESSION.
WEATHER AND CROPS.
Cooper Banner, May 25: Corn is looking
fine and is being well cultivated. Oats are
looking fine. \V heat will soon be ready for
the reaper, and is very good. Gardens not
doing well, the last rain too heavy and cold.
Kyle Nutshell, May 27: Harvesting is pro-
gressing rapidly, and every reaper in the
country is just humming. Thrashers are just
as busy as can be, and there are no idlers to be
found. Oats are turning out remarkably
well, from 65 to 80 bushels to the acre. Wheat
looks well, and will give a good yield. Corn
never looked better, and, without some se-
rious mishap, will yield a heavy crop. Cotton
looks well, and some is now in bloom, and
bid* fair to turn out well.
ISorth Texan: The present condition of cot-
ton in Lamar county is far from being satis-
factory. Of course. with.»rarm, sunny weather,
it will soon grow off well.
Rockdale Messenger: Mr. B. F. Garner,
who lives nine miles south of Rockdale, in-
forms us that the crops are all looking fine in
his section. The farmers there have sown a
great deal of wheat mostly Nicaraugua, and
within a space of two miles square about him
there will be between one and two thousand
bushels raised. This wheat grows better on
the uiesquite, he says, than on the sandy land.
The Nicarauga wheat makes good bread when
properly treated. It requires a peculiar mill,
made for the purpose, the boiling apparatus
being|of wire instead of cloth. This wheat cuts
the cloth. A mill for making flour from
Nicaraugua wheat is being erected below him.
There is now one on the Salado, and one heing
erected, we understand, at Kolb's, on the
Ga brieL
Alvarado Bulletin: The farmers who have
called iu to see us during the past week say
that the prospects were never brighter for
bountiful crops.
Weatherford Herald: Corn and other
growing things are popping now. We can
almost see the corn grow. One more good
rain will assure that crop.
Sulphur Springs Gazette, May 25: Mr. J.
L. Craig, of Hunt couuty, brought eightv-five
bushels of new wheat to town yesterday,
and sold it to F. M. George & Co., of the
Phoenix Mills, for $125 per bushel. The
wheat is fine, and Mr. Craig is well pleased
with the liberal price.
Sherman Democrat, May 27: Crop pros-
pects in this county were never better than at
present, while the small grain crop is without
doubt an assured fact. There is still a sharp
prospect for another hot, dry summer.
Dallas Herald, May 28: Captain W. W.
Ross, in his crop repopt for the 10th of June,
to the department of agriculture at Washing-
tog, says : Wheat is a little below an average,
owiug to rust and worms. The yield will be
from five to thirty bushels per acre. Rye and
barly good, but little sown. Oats, fall sown,
very good; yield from sixty to 100 bushels per
acre. Spring sown from forty to sixty bush-
els per acre. Spring pasture good. Apple
crop only moderate. Peaches abundant and
very fine. Cotton acreage 10 per cent, less
than last year. Stands good, with some rare
exceptions. Some complaiuts of cool nights
and some little planted over. The crop is c ear
of weeds and grass, and in good condition.
Corn acreage same as last year; is a little late,
but in good condition, aud promises a fina
yield.
Fairfield Recorder, May 26: Another good
rain fell last Saturday evening in this and
othar parts of the county. While it was not
particularly needed, it did much good, es-
pecially to corn and gardens. The corn crop,
as a whele, is doing well. One more good
rain, about the middle of June, will insure an
abundant crop.
Mebeetie Panhandle, May 19: The rain the
fore part of last week seems to have been gene-
ral throughout the Panhandle. Excepting
perhaps a few passing, inconsiderable show-
ers, this was the first rain that has fallen in
the Wolf creek country in three years.
Kingston (Hunt county) Beacon: The oat
crop is reported sorry. Wheat crop about an
average. Corn doing very well. Fruit crop
splendid.
Kimble County Texan: The good news of
fine crop prospects comes from almost every
quarter. Fine rains, grass growing, fat cat-
tle—everything glorious.
Whitesboro News, of Saturday: The
wheat crop which is now being harvested is
an unusually fine one. With the exception of
those places where the wheat was destroyed
by the hail, the crop is good all over the
county; coming as it does after a crop that
was almost a failure it is a great blessing.
We have heard several farmers say that their
crop will average 25 bushels per acre.
Fannin County Independent: Wheat is
being harvested, making a good yield Our
farmers are waking up to the fact that the
safest plan to insure a crop of oats is to bow
theiu in the fall, as they do wheat.
Victoria Advocate: The late heavy rains
have done but little damage beyond impeding
travel, while they have insured enormous
crops throughout this section.
The true professional leads a regular gypsy
life, says Mr. Fred. J. Eugelhardt, the great
sporting manager, ot New Orleans, La., who
writes that he cured himself of a severe attack
of rheumatism, and subsequently of a stiff
neck, by the use of St. Jacobs Oil. He inva-
riably uses it on those whom he trains for the
various kinds of athletic exercise.
House of Representatives.
Washington, May 30.—The regular journal
of yesterday having been read, Mr. Springer,
of 111., objected to its approval on the ground
that it omitted all reference to two very im-
portant motions which he had submitted, and
to appeals which he had made from tbe speak-
er's refusal to entertain them. The official
report on the subject was read from the Con-
gressional Record, and he then moved to have
the journal corrected so as to include those
two motions, which were to lay on the table
the report of the Committee on Rules, and to
recommit the report with instructions, to-
gether with the speaker's refusal to entertain
his (Springer's) appeals from such refusal, and
the speaker's declining to entertain them.
The speaker directed the clerk to read the
rule governing the case, to the effect that
every motion made to the House and enter-
tained by tl e speaker shall be entered on the
;ournal, and he said that if the clerk had
journalized those motions and apj>eals he
would have acted improperly.
Mr. Springer pointed out similar cases in
recent proceedings of the House where mo-
tions that were not entertained were journal-
ized. He argued that the motions were proper
ones, and should have appeared o-i the jout-
nal, which should show correctly and truth-
fully what was done, even though tho jour-
nal might then contain the condemnation of a
man who then sat in the speaker's chair. [In-
dignant calls to order on the Republican s de,
and a declaration by the speaker that the gen-
tleman was not in order.] I have a right to
speak. It" I am not in order let my words be
taken down.
The Speaker—The chair can very well af-
ford—
Mr. Springer attempted amid the excitement
and confusion to proceed with his remarks, but
was told peremptorily by the speaker that the
sergeant-at-arms would be directed to force
him at least to desist.
Democratic members gathered around Mr.
Springer, giving him aid and encouragement,
while many Republican members were also on
their feet, protesting angrily against Mr.
Springer's course.
Mr. Springer informed the speake- defiantly
that he could not be taken from the floor.
Mr. Humphreys, of Wisconsin—You can and
wilL I can do it myself.
Mr. Springer—It would take a larger pat-
tern than you to do it. [Continued laughter. 1
The Speaker—The chair can very well afford
to allow the gentleman from Illinois to make
improper remarks iu so far as they apply to
the chair alone, but it is quite another thing
when the gentleman undertakes to destroy the
dignity of the House by his own conduct. [Ap-
plause by the Republicans.]
Mr. Springer—That has been already de-
stroyed.
That is so, said Mr. Reed, by your side of
the House.
The Speaker—Any proper motiou that the
gentleman may wish to make relating to cor-
rection of the journal will be entertained by
the chair and submitted to the House. The
journal clerk, in omitting motions that were
not entertained, proceeded exactly in accord-
ance with the rules.
Mr. Knott, after some further colloquy,
made a constitutional argument in support
of Mr. Springer's position. The command of
the constitution was plain aud peremptory
that each house should keep a journal of its
proceedings. If that meant anything it
meant that every transaction which took
place duriug its session, every motiou made
and every ruling on it should be reduced to
writing. A journal implied a complete and
truthful journal. The fact that a motion was
out of order was no reason why that motion
and the ruling upon it should not appear on
the journal; on the contrary, it should be
recorded as a precedent for the future. If
nothing was to go on the journal except
when the speaker chose to entertain
it, then the will of the speaker, aud
not the constitution or rules, would be the
law of the House. Where was the redreis,
and what would then become of the provision
of the constitution which required that the
proceedings of the House should be truthfully
recorded' Had it come to this that the arbitary
will of the speaker, right or wrong, was to
supersede and override the constitution? He
had as high respect for the speaker as any
other member has, yet he could not say the
speaker was infallible, or incapable of making
a mistake. When the speaker refused to enter-
tain a motion that was perfectly legitimate; on
such refusal he (Knott) could not say that the
speaker was not mistaken; on the contrary, he
said that the speaker was mistaken, because
the rules give the right of appeal from the de-
cision of tne chair.
The spaaker admitted the accuracy of the
general proposition stated by Mr. Knott, but
repeated that the journal clerk had acted
strictly in obedience to the rules.
Mr. Haskell, of Kansas, argued that the
journal was to contain the proceedings of the
House, and to be a record of things done by
the House. The motion that was not enter-
tained could certainly form no part of the
proceedings of the House.
After further remarks by Messrs. Ka ;son,
Keller and Randall, the motion to correct the
jourual was rejected—yeas S9, nays 134.
Mr. Miller, of Pennsylvania, then proceeded
with the opening of his speech in the contested
election case of Mackey against O'Connor, but
had not finished the first sentence when the
attention of the speaker was called by Demo-
cratic members to the fact that the journal
had not yet been approved. They demanded
the yeas and nays on the question of approval.
As the vote proceeded, and as the Democrats
withheld their votes, there was a liklihood of
failure of a quorum, but an active hunt of Re-
publican absentees, the fact that Wilson, of
West Virginia, and Norcross, of Massachusetts,
who were paired, carried out their promise to
vote if necessary to make a quorum, resu.ted
in 146 yeas and 3 nays, so that the journal of
yesterday was approved.
Mr. Miller, of Pennsylvania, then
proceeded with his speech in favor
of the report of the election committee
in the case of Mackey against O'Connor. In
the course of his speech Mr. Miller caused some
amusement by an exhibition of tissue ballots,
which he called little jokers, by which Demo-
cratic frauds are said t^ have been committed
in South Carolina. He gave an illustration
of the use made of them, and sug-
gested that in some close northern dis-
tricts it might be convenient for Demo-
cratic candidates to understand the game.
The discussion was continued by Mr. Davis,
of Missouri, against the report, and Mr. Paul,
of Virginia, in favor of it. Much of Mr.
Paul's speech was directed to the discussion
of the readjustment policy in Virginia; to the
praise of the Readjusters as an honest party,
and to the criticism of other Southern States
in connection with tbeir debts. In fact, he de-
clared that Virginia was the only debt-paying
State of the late Southern Confederacy. The
latter assertion was denied indignantly by
Mr. Car.isle, of Kentucky, who declared that
the State of Kentucky had never scaled her
public dsbt to the amount of one dollar, and
had never proposed lo do so. Ihe assertion of
Mr. Carlisle was traversed by his colleague,
Mr. White, who reminded him that certain
counties in Kentucky hatj refused to pay their
debts. If that was not repudiation, what
was?
Mr. Tillman, of South Carolina, also de
clared for his State that it was tho Republican
party there which had repudiated the debt,
and that it was now being paid under the rule
of the Democratic party.
At the conclusion of Mr. Paul's speech,
within a few minutes of 5 o'clock, Mr. Cal-
kins inquired whether, if the evening session
was dispensed with, and the House now stood
adjourned, the discussion would be resumed
to-morrow without any obstruction from the
Democratic side? The answer came back reso-
lutely from Messrs. Morrison, Atkins, Ran-
dall and other Democrats that no agreement
would be made.
Mr. Calkins then gave notice that he would
call the previous question on the contested
election case at 5 p. m. to-morrow. Several
Republican members suggested 2 o'clock, and
Mr. Morrison, of Illinois, asked defiantly why
he did not do so now. The hour of 5 p. m.
having arrived the House took a recess till 8
o'clock.
The House reassembled at 8 o'clock. Mr.
Atherton of Ohio, who was entitled to the
door on contested election case, and who had
an objection to speaking to a thin house in an
evening session, moved to take a recess until
10 o'clock to-moiTow morning. A vote was
taken by the tellers who reported, after a de-
lay of twenty-five minutes, that there were
fifteen ayes to eighty-six nays—no quorum—
and thereupon a call of the House was order-
ed, proceedings on which occupied another
hour fruitlessly, as no quorum appeared. A
vote was then taken on Mr. Atherton's motion
to take a recess until 10 a. m. to-morrow,
which resulted—yeas 94, nays 14, the Republi-
cans all voting yea.
Mr. McMillan, of Pennsylvania, raised a
point of no quorum, and thereupon Mr.
Calkins, of Indiana, withdrew the notice which
he had given that he would call the previous
question at 5 p. m. to-morrow and stated that
he would call it at an earlier time. *
Several Democrats defiantly—Call it now.
Mr. Reed, of Maine.—If this matter pinches
somewhere, it is not the fault of this side.
Mr. Randall—Oh, we have passed the pinch.
Mr. Reed—You are still groaning under it.
The House then, at 9:45, on motion of Mr.
Calkins, adjourned.
CURRENT NOTES AT THE NATIONAL
CAPITAL.
Decoration Pay.
Washington, May 30.—To-day (Decora-
tion Day) has been observed throughout the
entire country wholly or in part as a holiday.
No markets were held excepting in the live
stock trade. The memorial observances were
iu keeping with those of former years. Presi-
dent Arthur, who is in New York, participa-
ted in the exercises there, as did also ex-Presi-
dent Grant. An elaborate programme was car-
ried out at Gettysburg, where ex-General
(now Senator) Hawley, of Connecticut, v. a^
orator of the day, and ex-Secretary Blaine
was one of the later speakers. The weather
has been uniformly favorable.
One of the incidents of the day at Balti-
more was the decoration of the graves of the
Confederate dead by the Wilson Post, Grand
Army of the Republic.
Representative Speer Explains.
Washington, D.C.,May 30.—Representative
Speer, of Georgia, furnishes for publication
the following statement with regard to the
alleged issue between himself and Hou. A. H.
Stephens: There is no issue between Mr.
Stephens and myself. With regard to my
telegram to Dr. f'elton—which I also gave to
the Associated Press—I called on Mr. Stephens
at his rooms on Sunday morning, the 14th
instant. I had learned that morning that a
committee of independent Democrats was to
meet in Atlanta the next day, and I at once
told Mr. Stephens that I would telegraph
to recommend him as the peoples' candidate
for governor. His secietary furnished me
some telegraphic blanks and I wrote tho tele-
gram in his room and read it to him, and at
his suggestion altered it in two particulars. I
havethe original draft and telegram referred to.
I know positively he will not reject such re-
commendation, and that if elected he will be
the governor of all the people, without regard
to parties.
The telegram was true, every word of it.
Mr. Stephens's denial does not apply to this
telegram, but to the telegram sent from At-
lanta to the Western paper, stating he had
telegraphed to the convention of Independents
that he would accept their nomination for gov-
ernor. He sent no such telegram. I sent no
such telegram, and the telegram I sent to Dr.
Felton speaks for itself. Mr. Stephens ex-
presses himself annoyed at the attempt to
make an issue between him and me, when
none exists. Emory §peer.
Mr. Stephens appends to the foregoing the
following statement over his signature: The
above is substantially true. What Mr. Speer
telegraphed Dr. Felton was strictly true,
though not by authority from me. There is
no issue between me andiMr. Speer.
Alex. IJ. Stephens.
The Buchanan-Planning Case.
Washington, May 30.—It was erroneously
reported yesterday that a Committee on Elec-
tions of the House of Representatives had de-
clared that there was no merit in the contested
election case of Buchanan vs. Manning, from
Mississippi, and that thecontes'ee was entitled
to his seat. Representative Calkins, chairman
of the Elections Committee, authorizes the
statement that the Buchanan-Manning c::se
has not yet been reported on by the sub-
committee, and consequently a full committee
has not in any way acted upon it.
A Protest Against the Speaker of the
House.
Washington, May 30.—The Democratic
members of the House have decided to submit
a resolution at the first opportunity, which
will recite the action of the speaker in refus-
ing to entertain Mr. Springer's appeal from
his (the speaker's) decision yesterday, and de-
clare, in effect, that in the judgment of the
minority the chair ruled arbitrarily, and in so
doing violated not only the rules of the House
of Representatives, but the Constitution of the
United States.
Maine Greenbackers.
Washington, May 30.—The Maine Green-
backers to day nominated Solon Chase as
their candidate for governor, and adopted a
straightout Greenback anti-monopoly, anti-
national bank platform, and resolved to cut
loose from fusion and sail henceforth under
its own flag.
DOMESTIC DISPATCHES.
ITEMS OF NEWS FROM DIFFERENT
DIRECTIONS.
Governor Crittenden's Promise.
St. Louis, May 30—R. J. Haine, of Kansas
City, attorney cf Mis. Jesse James, who has
been here several days, and is well acquainted
with most of the affairs of the James family,
asserts that he is conducting negotiations w ith
Governor Crittenden, in behalf of several
friends of Frank James, who are men of posi-
tion and influence, and deeply interested in
bringing about au arrangement under which
Frank can settle down and become a peaceful
citizen.
Haine further says that Governor Crit-
tenden has given a written promise that he
will pardon Frank, if he surrenders within a
certai n time aud is convic.ted upon trial, and
that this letter is in possession of Frank's
friends. Frank has not yet surrendered, how-
ever, nor does Haine claim to know that he
will give himself up.
Train-Wreckers at Work.
Lancaster, Pa., May 30.—A western
bound freight train on the Pennsylvania road
was wrecked at Shock's mill, between this
place and Harrisburg, at 11 30 last night.
Eleven cars were completely demolished, aud
had to be burned to clear the track, which
was blocked for four hours. John Funston,
of Harrisburg, brakeman, was caught be-
tween two of the wrecked cars and fatally
injured.
The Telegraph operator at Marietta tower
discovered two rails securely bound across the
south track, a short distance from the tower.
The obstruction was removed just in time to
prevent the wrecking of the Columbia wreck-
ing car with flfty men on board. There is no
clew to the perpetrators of this outrage.
Apaches on the War-Patli.
Tucson, Arizona, May 30.—The Star pub-
lishes the following special from Lordsburg:
A prospector from the Soledad pass reports a
number of hostile Apaches roaming through
th£ mountains, evidently awaiting an oppor-
tunity to make their way back to the reserva-
tion. There are also a number of renegades
in the Guadalupe mountains, and they have
attacked several ranches, and driven stock in-
to the mountains. Two herdsmen have been
killed, and the ranchmen have become alarm-
ed, aud are organizing for defence. It is re-
sorted that the band is being daily augmented
)y renegades from Arizona, New Mexico and
from across the line, and their strength is
more formidable than at any other time since
the outbreak.
Registration Supervisor Arrested.
Charleston, May 30.—Tho State supervisor
of registration was arrested twice to-day for
refusing to allow United States deputy mar-
shals to remain to hear him, as in his judgment
that would impede free registration of voters. In
each case the supervisor waived an examii a-
tion and gave bond for his appearance at the
November term of the United States Court.
The supervisor bases his action on the decision
of United States Judge Hughes, of Virginia,
defining the powers of deputy marshals. Two
city police were also arrested to-day on charge
of obstruction. No complaint of unfairness on
tUe management of registration has been
made by either side.
Pistoling an Editor.
Quincey, 111., May 30.—Dr. Hoffman, editor
of the Germania, was shot last night by Gus
and Casper Helloke and D. T. R. Spears. He
is still alive, but in a precarious condition.
The three men were taken to the police court
and a continuance granted for ten days, bail
being fixed at $100,000 each for the Hellokes
and $20,000 for Spear. The assault, so far as
can now be learned, was entirely unprovoked.
An article in the Germania is supposed to
have led to the shooting. There is a
very general feeling of indignation against the
perpetrators of the crime, although they have
leretofore stood high in the community.
A California Town Burned.
San Francisco, May 30.—A fire at Willow
Station, California, to-day, caused a loss
estimated at about $175,000. Almost the
entire business portion of the town, including
the hotels, was consumed. There were no
facilities for fighting the flames, which ran
their course unchecked. There were a num-
ber of explosions of gunpowder and cartridges
during the fire, but uo serious injury or loss
of life is reported. A number of Chinese seized
upon the occasion to cousmit thefts, and
several were arrested with stolen goods in
their possession. Measures have already
been takvn to rebuild the town.
Railroads and Glucose.
New Orleans, May 30.—The Picayune's
Baton Rouge special reported the fiijal passage
by the legislature of a bill to carry into effect
the articie of the constitution providing for the
consolidation of railroad companies organized
under the laws of this State with
companies organized under the luws
of other States. Also a bill making
it a misdemeanor to sell or to offer
for sale, to ship or place upon tbe market for
sale, any sugar or molasses adulterated with
glucose or aay foreign substance without
branding or stamping the same.
News from Hong Kong.
San Fkancisco, May 30.—Advices from
Hong Kong, May 2, indicate that Commo-
dore Shufeldt is about to undertake a new ex-
pedition to Corea. The news of this expedi-
tion has reached Corea, and has created con-
siderable agitation. The non-intercourse
arty is strong, but the king thus^ar stands
rm in his determination not to invite de-
struction by opposing everything foreign. It
is reported that Roman Catholic missionaries
will be permitted to have ingress to Corea in
the course of this year.
5Eoe Watkins,
St. Louis, May 30.—A body, supposed to be
that of Zoe Watkins, who mysteriously disap-
peared from here on the afternoon of the ISth,
was found this morning in the river at the
foot of Miller street, Carondelet. Subsequent-
ly the body was fully identified by James
Martin, with whom the girl was stopping at
the time of her disappea ranee. The corpse is
swollen and disfigured. A post-mortem ex-
amination is now being heid. There are no
signs or marks of outrage on the body.
More Indians.
Charleston, Arizona, May 30.—It is re-
ported that about seventy-five hostile Indians
passed the Mexican border, Saturday last,
pursued by the Mexican troops. Fifteen In-
dians were seen yesterday morning, making
apparently for the Huachicea mountains, with
the Mexicans following closely. Two companies
of infantry and Indiau scouts left Huachicca
last evening in pursuit of one of the bands.
Threatened Eviction of Miners.
Cumberland, Md., May 30.—The Maryland
American and New Central coal companies
to-day notified the miners occupying the com-
panies' houses in this region, who refuse to
work on the companies' terms, to vacate by
July 1. This indicates that those companies
will stiko introduce foreign labor. The occu-
pants are yearly tenants, and trouble is ex-
pected in the enforcement of this notice.
A Brutal Father.
Paris, Ky., May 30.—A special from Lan-
caster Landing, III., says Milton Cliffoid,
whose wife recently bore twins, strangled
them in their cradle and then buried thaui in
it. He left his wife alone in a critical condi-
tion for several hours and reported what he
had done, adding that he hoped she would be
dead when he returned. He then fled. A
large force is scouring the country for him.
Matters in the Mines.
Baltimore, May 30.—All remain quiet in
the mining region. The special policemen, 125
in number, wno were sent from Baltimore last
night, arrived at Elkhart this morning and
were sworn in by Justice Brooke, of Cumber-

Affairs in Egypt.
London, May 30.—A Cairo dispatch to the
Standard says: The military party is greatly
incensed at the terms of the khedive's ci m-
munique reinstating Arabi Pasha as minister
of war. They consider themselves insulted by
the passage stating that Arabi Pasha was only
reinstated to preserve peace, which the mili-
tary otherwise would have broken. A deputa-
tion of officers visited Arabi Pasha and de*
manded as a reparation for the insult the in-
stant deposition of the khedive. They stated
that they had their men well hand and
ready at a moment's notice to Warch ou the
khedive's palace. Arabi pasha succeeded in
calming them, and further stated that ho and
the kliedive had definitely agreed to leave the
settlement of all pending questions to the de-
cision of the sultan.
A Cairo dispatch to the Times says the en-
trances to the palace were guarded on Sunday
by soldiers, who were all ready to cut the tele-
graph wires and open the bridges in order to
destroy communication with Alexandria.
Arabi Bey in Power.
London, May 3 >.—A dispatch to the Times
fi oni Cairo, says : Arabi Bey declares that
if the Turks come to Egypt with intentions
unfavorable to him, he will resist them. Tbe
natives in deputation which called upon the
khedive yesterday praying for the reinstate-
ment of Arabi Bey, stated distinctly that Arabi
had threatened that they would be cut to
pieces unless he was reinstated.
After the Porte.
London, May 30.—A Constantinople dis-
patch to the Times says Lord Dufferin, Eng-
lish embassador, aud Marquis de Noailles,
French embassador, presented to the porte on
Monday an identical note recommending the
summoning to Constantinople from Egypt of
three military leaders and the ex-president of
the council to answer for their conduct.
Arabi Bey Defiant.
Cairo, May 30.—Mr. Malet, British consul-
general, informed the khedive to-day of the
immediate departure of the Turkish commis-
sioner of Egypt. Arabi Bey, on learning
that the commissioner would be instructed to
summon him to Constantinople, stated he
would disobey any such order.
The Khedive Deposed.
London, May 31.—The Standard's dispatch
from Cairo says: The British government has
ordered four men-of-war aud a gunboat to
iroceed froui Suda bay to Alexandria. Ariba
iey has privately informed the khedive that
he is already deposed, and that it is arranged
that Prince Halim will succeed him.

Appeals for British Protection.
London, May 30.—A dispatch from Alex-
andria to the Times says the British commu-
nity there have appealed to the British consul
for greater security against disorderly sol-
diery. The joint fleets, though able to silence
the forts of Alexandria, can only spare 300
men to meet a garrison of 3000, who are daily
becoming more exasperated. A Cairo dis-
patch to the Pall Mall Gazetto says the imme-
diate announcement of the dispatch of troors
is indispensable, otherwise nobody can foresee
results.

Pleasanton Monitor: On Friday morning,
May mh. two little boys of Mr. Frank Mc
Cown were playing out in the yard, making
brands on the ground. One of them, aged
seven years, being seated by a mesquite bush.
In some manner, disturbed the tranquillity of
large rattlesnake lying under it, and the
snake inflicted several wouuds into the left
forearm of the little boy. The perents im
mediately administered what common sense
or household ie:ned esthey had and dispatched
to Tilden, twelve miles distant, for a physcian,
who remained with the little suf-
ferer till Sunday. There seemed to be
no al atement of the suffering, and the
arm having become so much swollen and dis-
colored, the parents brought the little boy
here, and Monday Dr. W. V. Mills amputated
the arm above the elbow. The forearm was a
blackened mass of mortification. The patient
could not possibly have lived four hours
longer had not the operation been performed.
The little fellow is receiving every attention
from the attending physician and our sympa-
thetic people, aud as we go to press we are
gratified to announce that he is now very
cheerful, and strong hopes are entertained for
his recovery. Since the above was put in type,
another case of snake-bite has been brought to
onr notice, tbe victim being a little son of Mr.
Henry, of this neighborhood. The wound w as
inflicted by a large rattlesnake on the i ight
forearm. Timely attention from Dr. Mdls

Henrietta Shield: Last fall a Mr. Posey, of
Parker county, passed through Henrietta, on
his way to Mobeetie, with an ox team. While
in camp near here one yoke of oxen ran off.
Mr. Posey made arrangements with Georgo
Whitmore to hunt the cattle, add then went
cn to Mobeetie with the load. Posey return
ing this way, Whitmore reported the cattle
fouud. But the fact was he had found the cat-
tle, and on Mr. Posey's departure for Weather-
ford, drove them ut> and worked them most of
the winter and in February sold them to Buck
Dawson. Posey charged him with working his
oxen all winter. This charge Whitmore denied,
and proposed to come back here with Posey,
find the cattle and clear up the report. Posey
came to Jacksboro with his wagon and team
and a load of freight, unloaded and camped
two miles south of town, concluding to return
to Weatherford. But Whitmore persuaded
him to start with him for Henrietta the next
day. They parsed through Jacksboro to-
gether, since which nothing has been seen or
heard of Posey. A few days ago Whitmore
returned to Weatherford and was arrested.
On his person was found Posey's pocket-book,
and the supposition is that he killed Posey in
the woods this side of Jacksboro and took the
team off and sold it. Whitmore is a young
man, of not more thon twenty years. His
people live iu Parker county.

Live Stock Journal : Starting from Colora-
do city, Mitchell c unty, with a party of half
dozen, the route lay principally up the divide
between the waters of the Colorado and
Brazos. About 30 miles from Colorado City
we camped for the night in a beautiful mes-
quite valley where wood, water and grass were
found in abundance. The next day we trav-
eled about 40 miles over some of the finest
grazing country we ever saw, and stopped for
the night at Moore's springs in the western
part of Garza eounty. The springs were in
the head of a canyon extending far out into
the Staked Plains. The following days our
route lay altogether in the Plains, entirely sur-
rounding the head of Double Mountain Fork
of the Brazos. The Plains are now covered
with a thick solid coati ng of the finest mes-
quite grass we ever saw. Water seems to be
rather scarce, but we think could easily be
supplied by tanks made in the ground. This
is certainly all that is lacking to make it the
finest stock country in the world.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Marshall Herald, May 37: News was receiv-
ed here yesterday of the arrest of Jack Alien,
son of our esteemed fellow-citizen Mr. W. S.
Allen, charged with theft of clothes. Mr. Al-
len went to Dallas yesterday to see his son.
We hope, for the sake of his honored father
and family, who are highly respected here, the
young man may be able to establish his in-
nocence. The Dallas Herald gives the circum-
stanoial points in the case as follows: On the-
24th of last March Messrs. J. C. O'Conner and
Alfred Davis took a trip to Hot Springs. On
arriving at Texarkana Mr. O'Connor's trunk
was burs ted open and a fine coat and vest of
his, as well as a suit of clothes, the property of
Mr. Davis, were taken. An attempt was made
to burglarize Mr. Davis's trunk, but they
failed. The matter wa3 enveloped in mystery
until their return to this city, when the services
of Detective Duncan, of this city, were se-
cured. He went to work and succeeded in
getting a clew. The pants of Mr. O'Conner
were traced to Douglas Bros., tail >rs, who hat1,
by the way, made the suit for him. They
were left thare by Penn, an employe iu the
Texas Express office here, who stated that he
had bought them of Allen, a baggage-master
running on the Texas and Pacific road be-
tween Texarkana and Fort Worth. Wednes-
day night Allen was arrested in Fort Worth
by Duncan and brought here yesterday morn-
ing and lodged in jail. A Herald reporter
called on him at tho jail and requested a state-
ment, but he declined to make any. When
arrested the missing clothes were found iu his
trunk, and also a fine suit marked E. D.
Adams, besides a lot of clothing in a valise.
Penn was arrested, but succeeded in giving
bond. »
Fort Worth Democrat-Advance of Satur-
day: The jury of inquest, sitting to deter-
mine the cause of the df-ath of J. M. Butler,
the convict guard, rendered a verdict yester-
day to the effect that the deceased came to his
death by being crushed beneath the cars on
the Missouri-Pacific Railroad, and that it was
the result of carelessness on the part of the
engineer, W. Davis. Mr. Davis was arrested,
and put under $500 bond to await the action
of the grand jury.
