vert, May 15. _
The attitude of the cotton market
varied very little yesterday. Liverpool
and New York reduced the figures for
futures slightly. Flour is active and
higher. A sale of 1200 bags of coffee
was an interesting feature of yester-
day's business.
The announcment that the governor
will issue on Monday his proclamation
convening the legislature on the 10th of
June, will put an end to any unpleas-
ant suspense which may have been felt
in that relation. Legislation will be
confined to subjects enumerated in the
proolamation, and there will be ample
time, if the governor and the legislature
can come to an agreement about appro-
priations, to make provision for the
July interest on the public debt.
Readers who feel an interest in mu-
nicipal affairs are referred to the finan-
cial estimates for the coming year, as
exhibited in the budget adopted by the
council on Friday evening. The esti-
mates show a material curtailment of
annual expenditures, the heaviest reduc-
tions being in the policc and lire depart-
ments and in official salaries. Accord-
ing to the estimates, allowing $119,000
for sinking fund, $54,566 deficit for the
last year and for uncollected assess-
ments, the whole amount required for
expenditures will be $295,000, which al-
lows $131,434 for general expenses of
Ifoe municipal government.

Duel to tlie Deatli.
ISpeeial Telegram to the News."!
Sherman, May 10.—A rumor reached
here this afternoon of a duel to the death
between two men named Wiley and Ja-
cobs, near Burlington, Montague county,
on Red river. The two men were both
members of a band of cattle-thieves, and
fell out about a division of spoils. They
met on the river bank, each armed with
two revolvers, stepped off ten paces, and
began firing at tae word. Wiley fell,
mortally wounded, at the third fire, but.
raising himself on his arm, sent a ball
crashing through Jacobs's brain, killing
him instantly. Wiley died a few mo-
ments afterward, and both men were
buried on tlie fatal field.
A question of some importance to mu-
nicipal corporations in Texas has been
raised here: Has the city council the
power to exempt from taxation for a term
ot years manufacturing establishments ?
The question is raised by an attempt to
collect such taxes from the gas company
and other institutions exempted some
years ago by ordinance of the city coun-
cil.

[Special Telegram to the News.l
Brenham, May 10.—The last day of the
volksfest passed off quietly. The shooting
match between teams of seven men each,
belonging to the Brenham Greys and
Johnson Guards, of Hempstead, took place
in the morning, with the victory as fol-
lows; First prize, gold cross—sergeant
major J. W. Barnett, third regiment: sec-
ond prize, gold cross—private F. Wotipka,
Greys: third prize, silver cross—sergeant
E. L. Salley, Greys.
President Hodde awarded the following
prizes: First gold medal, Louis Ammons,
Brenham Turners; second prize—siiver
medal, W. S. Stuckert, Westmill creek,
Turners; third prize—silver medal, F. Von
Beiberstein, Westmill creek, Turners.
The school children competed for several
prizes, and many won handsome orna-
ments. The exercises are now closing with
a grand display of fireworks and a graud
ball.
The receipts at the gates have exceeded
the expectations of the volksfest commit-
tees, and all are happy.
The preliminary examination of Col. J.
E. Kiroy will commence at Hempstead on
Monday morning next. The absence of
the justice peace there has been the cause
of delay.
STOCK SHOW.
Fine Animals on Exhibition.
[Special Telegram to the News. I
Bastrop, May 10.—The stock show to-
day, cansidering the many disadvantages,
was a grand success, ami far better than
was expected. Visitors from the county
were in gx>d force, while many from
other counties honor us with their pres-
ence.
First among the exhibitors was Maj. A.
W. Moore, who has some twenty-five head
of fine Durhams on exhibition from his
stock farm, among which is a fine bull,
two years old, which was sired by an
&S000 bull. All of his stock was very fine,
and much admired by every one wfio saw
them.
Hoh. R. J. Price also had a very fine
herd of Durham cattle, as well as fine
horses, on exhibition. They were perfect
beauties.
Mr. E. B. Burleson's fine Herefords also
came in for a good share of praise, and it
was universally conceded that for beef
stock the Herefords are unexcelled, while
it is claimed they are equally as good for
milk and butter" as the Durham.
In addition, Messrs. M.#VV. Trigg, A. A.
Erhard, R. Penturf, A. B. Reynolds, J. D.
Oliver, Wm. Shaw, A. B. Summers, John
O. Nash, D. S. Green and others, with
their fine Durham and Jersey cattle, stal-
lions and brood mares and colts, added
great interest to the occasion.
A number of visitors from other coun-
ties were heard to express themselves as
being well paid for the trip. Indeed, we
venture the assertion that no county in
the state can show finer stock, either in
horses, cattle or hogs, than old Bastrop,
and Mai. A. W. Moore and Hon. R. J.
Price, among our principal stock-raisers,
deserve great credit for their untiring
efforts to improve and advance the stock
interests of our county.
The recent rains were a disadvantage to
the exhibition, as many farmers could not
afford to neglect their crops for the stock
show; therefore we are glad to say that
the prospect for a heavy yield of corn and
cotton was never better, and our people
seem determined to make hay while the
sun shines.
Railroad Accidents
Toronto, Ont., May 10.—This evening
au excursion party, consisting of directors
and their friends, who had been inspecting
the new works on Credit Valley railway,
while seated in a car on the siding at
Carleton Junction, waiting for an engine
to take them to Toronto, were run into by
a Grand Trunk engine traveling at the
rate of thirty miles per hour. Both en-
gine and car were wrecked. Among those
seriously injured are Jarries Gooderhour,
merchant and miller, of this city, leg cut
off, and others were badly bruised—recov-
ery doubtful; ex-mayor Morrison, spine
badly injured; P. D. "Conger, coal mer-
chant, sustained a fracture of several ribs;
John McNabb, retired hardware mer-
chant, spine was hurt and side badly
bruised; Samuel Beatty, railway agent,

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
London Finances.
London. May 10.—Tke Times financial
article this morning says: The value of
money remains at about-'l>£ per cent. At-
tention is being drawn to probable effects
of the continuance of cold northerly winds
upon agricutural prospects, which are al-
ready sufficiently unfavorable. Unless a
change occurs soon in the temperature
there can be little or no fruit, and there
may probably be a serious deficiency
in cereal crops, which means larger pay-
ments than usual to foreign growers, and
eventually dearer money. Prominent
among other prospective deficient yields
on the continent is that of silk, cold winds
keeping back the mulberry leaves, upon
which the silk worms feed. The flow of
silver to China and Japan will probably
be increased from this cause.
The British and the Emir.
A dispatch from Lahore, published in
this morning's edition of the Standard,
announcing that Yakoob Khan, emir of
Afghanistan, had accepted all British pro-
posals, is certainly premature, and proba-
bly entirely wrong.
A dispatch of this date from Simla to
Reuter's says visits exchanged between
Gen. Browne, major Canganari and Ya-
koob Khan, have been thus far entirely
ceremonial and preliminary to negotia-
tions.
Parliament.
London, May 10.—The Times, in a lead-
ing editorial, says: The government has
no intention of dissolving parliament this
year.
East Ronmella.
Vienna, May 10.—The FremcUnblatt
says the czar's proclamation has produced
a depressing effect on East Roumelians,
but it is believed his warnings will be
heeded, and at least for the present tran-
quillity be undisturbed.
Differences in Council.
Paris, Mav 10.—Several journals inti-
mate that differences of opinion were
manifested at the council of ministers to-
day respecting precautions to be taken in
the event of chambers returning to Paris,
and respecting the reorganization of the
prefecture of police.
International Congress.
The international congress will open at
Grand hotel on the 15th, under the presi-
dency of M. Ferdinand de Lesseps. to dis-
cuss the subject of a canal across tne isth-
mus of Panama.
The Chinese Embassy.
London, May 10.—The Chinese legation
will be permanently established in Madrid.
The new Chinese consul to Havana will go
to Madrid before proceeding to Cuba, in
ei'der to come to an understanding with
Spain on the coolie question.
The Times on Parliament.
The Timers leading editorial article says
the government has no intention of dis-
solving parliament this year. When the
present ministry ask the judgment of con-
stituencies on their conduct they will be
able to give a complete account of the
policy and its results. At present it is in
the process of execution, alike in Europe
and Asia, and it6 bearings can not be fully
estimated. A few months more will show
what has been the real value of the Berlin
treaty and measures taken in Afghanistan.
Russia, moreover, will now know that the
English government will remain unaltered
for at least a long enough time to ensure
the execution of the treaty, and she will
not be tempted to evade it* by hopes of our
policy being altered by a change in the
ministry or bv appeal to constituencies.
Ministers will be enabled to complete the
work they have begun, end we shall be
able in a few months to see with some
clearness what it is worth.
Germany and the Chilian War.
Berlin, May 10.—The official Gazette
states that besides the corvette Hansa,
which has been ordered by telegraph to
sail from the coast of Brazil to Valparaiso,
a German gunboat has been ordered to
start immediately, and be permanently de-
tained in Chilian waters. As other mari-
time powers, especially England, have im-
portant commercial skipping interests to
protect, the opportunity may be found for
joint action in certain eventualities. From
the position of affairs no guarantee can be
given that Valvaraiso will be safe from
attack of the hostile fleet, but it may be
hoped that the belligerents will not violate
international law by bombarding an open
seaport town unnecessarily.
The reichstag has adopted Herr Loew's
motion referring the brewers tax to spe-
cial committee.
Spanish Items.
Madrid, May 10.—The newspapers here
state that nine seuators from Cuba do not
possess the qualifications required by the
constitution. The minister of the colonies
will investigate the matter.
A mail train running between Madrid
and Cadiz has been thrown off the track
and a van containing mails for Cuba
smashed, six persons killed and several in-
jured
Baptist Convention.
Atlanta* May 10.—In the southern
baptist convention to-day the report of
committee ©n co-operation with the north-
ern baptists was discussed the entire day
and finally adopted unanimously as fol-
lows:
Resolved, that five brethern be appoint-
ed by the convention to bear to baptist
brethern of the northern states, at their
approaching anniversaries, the expression
of our fraternal regard.and assurances that
while holding to the wisdom and policy of
preserving our separate organization, we
are ready, as in the past, to co-operate cor-
dially with them in promoting the cause
of Christianity in our own and foreign
lands. Many eloquent and touching
speeches were made and $1200 were col-
lected for home mission.

decree rendered.
Judge Welford, of circuit of city of
Richmond, to-day delivered a decision in
the long-pending suit of the State of Vir-
ginia against Bradley T. Johnson and
Messrs. roe, of Baltimore, to set aside
certain portions of the contract made by
the board of public works in 1867, and
settlement made with them in 1S7S concern-
ing the interest of the state in Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal company. The court nolds
that the contracts and settlements were
authorized by law, and all actions with the
board of public works and Gen. Johnson
and his associates were right and proper,
and that all their conduct of the business
of the state had been open, fair and pub-
lic, and their proceedings had been report-
ed from time to time to the board, and re-
corded among their records and approved
by them. The bill was therefore dismiss-
ed and a decree to that effect entered.
Striking Miners.
Terre Haute, Ind., May 10.—At a mid-
night meeting at Brazil last night the cen-
tral committee of strikers detailed a hun-
dred men to visit the mine of Erlich & Co.,
at Newburg. This morning the . men de-
tailed arrived on the ground at an early
hour and succeeded in inducing the miners
to abandon work. Many of the strikers
are entirely destitute. Of those who vis-
ited Erlich mine this morning about half
had eaten nothing since yesterday. They
devoured the contents of the miners'
buckets belonging to Erlich's miners. The
operators say concerted attempts will be
made to resume work on Monday.
Lumber Burned—Heavy Losses.
Chicago, May 10.—This afternoon a fire
broke out on the corner of Union and 22d
streets, in Palmer & Fuller's lumber yard
and dry-house, which burned fiercely until
8 o'clock, and although then under con-
trol, it will probably burn tlie greater part
of the night. The dry-house was com-
pletely destroyed, together with 6,000,000
shingles and 4~000,000 feet of lumber. The
proprietors give loss at $150,000, but as the
estimate is based on the selling price of
material, it is probable a more accurate
estimate would be $100,000. Total insur-
ance about $43,000. Several houses ad-
joining burned; loss $5000 to $10,000.
Stores Burned.
St. Louis, May 10.—A fire in the whole-
sale hat and cap store of Gauss & Hanicke,
North Fifth street; Frankenthal & Bros.,
gents' furnishing goods: and R. & W. God-
stein's, clothing store, completely gutted,
all three stores and stock Total loss
about $200,000,
All the buildings burned belonged to the
Ohio and Mississippi railroad, and were
uninsured. It now proves there were but
seven cars of coal destfoved instead of
thirty. Total loss about $80,000.
Serious Accident
Indianapolis, May 10.—At Columbus,
Ind., to-day, as Baldwin & Victor, tight-
rope performers, were giving an exhibi-
tion, the rope which stretched from the
court-house to the hotel opposite, broke
loose from the hotel, precipitating both
men to a distance of fifty feet. Vic-
tor was seriously iniured; he had an arm
and le^ broken ana head badly bruised.
Baldwin's injuries are not dangerous.
Memorial Day.
Columbia, S. C., May 10.—Memorial
day was observed as usual and salute fired
by the Columbia flying artillery. There
i itm ft grand display of floral decoration.
Public Lands.
Washington, May 10.—The house com-
mittee on public lands, to-day heard repre-
sentatives Herbert, of Alabam, in advoca-
cy of the bill introduced by him on the 5th,
providing that all public lands of the
United States in timber regions of the
states of Alabama, Louisiana and Minne-
sota, which have been subject to entry for
as much as twenty years prior to the
passage of this "act. except such
as may have been heretofore reserved for
government purposes, shall be hereafter
subject to entry in any quantity desired by
the purchaser upon payment of prioe re-
quired. The measure was referred to a
sub-committee consisting of Steele of New
York, Washburn of Minnesota, and Wil-
liams of Alabama, for consideration and
report.
Free Fight in Georgia*
Augusta, Ga., May 10.—After the
double execution yesterday in Columbia
county, there was a serious affray between
white citizeas of McDuffie county present
at Appling to witness the hanging. Twen-
ty-five shots were fired, and the following
persons wounded; Jack Mory, shot in the
abdomen mortally; Shade Hawes, in the
hand and hip; Caiuy, wounded in the
scalp; Tug Smith, a bystander, slightly in
the hand. The shooting was supposed to
have been the result of an old feud.
Manufactory Closed.
Meriden, Conn., May 10.—The Meriden
Woolen company closed the factory to-
night owing to the failure of Whittemore,
Peet, Post & Co., of New York; 250 em-
ployes, half of whom are women, thrown
out of employment. Liabilities of the
company estimated at $200,000; assets
nouiiual. The Meriden National bank is
creditor for $30,000; First Nanional bank

tional convention adopted article 6 forbid-
ding the genera; ts •- ably from granting
extra compensation lee or allowance to
any public oflicer, a&ent, servant or con
tractor of state, parish or municipal, or
authorize payment of any claim against
state, parish or municipality made with-
out express authority of law.
Probably Another Veto.
Washington^ May 10.—There are good
reasons for stating that the president has
changed his views regarding the bill re-
lating to the use of the military at the
polls, and the probabilities are now strong
that he will return it with another veto
message. _
Strike Ended.
Ottawa, Ont., May 10.—Mr. White-
head, contractor of the Canada Pacific
railroad, has received a telegram to the
effect that six of the ringleaders in the
strike on section 15 have been arrested and
the rest of the «aen would go to work to-
d&Y.
SFEE CM OT SENATOR HILL.
Opinion of Congressman Culberson
—Senator Coke to Speak Monday.
ISpeeial Telegram to the News.1
Washington, May 10.—Senator Hill ad-
dressed the senate for over three hours on
the repeal of the election laws, following
Madison and Webster in expounding the
mixed national and confederate character
of the government. He argued that con-
solidationists are no less disunionists than
were secessionists, and that as the latter
had been crushed out, it remains to crush
out the former before the union can be
safe. Mr. Hill spoke for the south in an-
swer to the charges of revolution and dis-
loyalty, replying at length to the speeches
of Logan, Conkling and Edniunds, and no-
ticeably ignoring Blaine. How well he
performed the task is attested by the
warm praise accorded in all the demo-
cratic circles to-night, and satisfies northern
and southern democrats alike. Culberson
says it was the first purely sectional speech
he has heard from a southern man in con-
gress that had not better have been left
unsaid.
Senator Coke speaks probably on Mon-
day, making a constitutional argument.
It is expected on all hands that president
Hayes will veto the military bill and let
the army go without supplies.
There is good democratic authority for
the prediction that the silver bill will never
see the light after reference to the senate
finance committee.
CONGRESSIONA L PROCEEDINGS.

Washington, May 10.—In the senate
Mr. Eaton introduced, by request, a bill
relating to telegraphic communication be-
tween the United States and foreign coun-
tries. Referred to committee on foreign
relations.
The senate proceeded to the considera-
tion of the legislative, executive and ju-
dicial appropriations. Said bill was sub-
stantially the same as that agreed to by
the committee of conference at the former
session, with few exceptions.
Mr. Edmunds inquired whether what is
called political legislation is the same as
that proposed last year, or did it differ by
enlargement or by diminution.
Mr. Beck replied he was not prepared to
answer, as he had not compared the two
propositions.
A message was received from the house
announcing that the speaker had signed
the enrolled bill to prohibit military inter-
ference at elections and returning the bill
for the signature of the president pro tem.
He having signed the same it will now be
taken to the president.
The senate proceeded to act on the
amendments to the pending bill, agreed to
those restoring the. compensation of tlie
senate's officers, clerks and other employes,
which the house had reduced.
Mr. Beck moved that the reading of the
bill be dispensed with, in order to afford
Mr. Hill, of Georgia, an opportunity to
address the senate, as he intends to leave
the city, and may not return before the
end of the present session.
Mr. Hill proceeded to speak with refer-
ence to that part of the bill proposing new
legislation. With regard to supervisors of
elections, etc., he asked why discussion
had been thrust on the country—the
legislation proposed being very simple,
nothing but the repeal of some laws en-
acted during and since the late war. He
had watched the discussion in order to ar-
rive at the motive which prompted
it, and was now satisfied that a
party in this country had entered
upon a well, or, rather, an ill-considered
but determined purpose of reopening
sectional agitation which so lon£ disturbed
the people,with a view of consolidating one
section of the country against the other,for
the benetit of a party, without reference
to the public good. Me then referred to
tke recent speech of Mr. Conkling as being
in that direction, and alluded to Mr. Ed-
munds, in his speech ef yesterday, as tak-
ing the position tfriat the little bill prohibit-
ing military interference at the elections
would have the effect to change and modi-
fy all the laws to which the senator from
\ ermont alluded. The senator must have
knowa that the bill would not
effect in any degree legislation pre-
vious to 1865. If a majority in
congress declares from this time forward
that the army and navy shall not inter-
fere with elections, they but re-enact what
the custom, practice, and law were be-
fore the act of 1805. The speech of the
senator from Vermont ought to be studied
by all, as it showed the great questions of
difference between two great parties now
struggling fon mastery, and the assump-
tion that there could be no protection to
the country save by military arm. If
this should unfortunately ever be believed
by the country the republic would be at
an end. Mr. Hill then alluded to persons
who had sojourned in the south and gone
north to deliver lectures on the subject
of southern wrongs and outrages, their
statements being grossly exaggerated,
and referred to those who instigated the
movement of the negroes to Kansas, and
said the south had been maligned in a hun-
dred different shapes and forms for the
purpose of antagonizing the north, and to
secure republicans in possession of power.
He spoke of the persistent attempts to in-
duce the president to veto the bill prohibit-
ing military interference at the polls. He
never believed the president would veto
the bill. He did not believe the president
would lend himself to any such scheme.
The president signalized his administra-
tion by removing the troops from the
south, and therefore he dia not believe
that the president would be guilty of
vetoing this bill. He believed
he would rise above the clamor of those
who were seeking sectional agitation. Re-
publicans resort to the veto because they
want the military , force to control the
elections in order to keep themselves in
power. Hill claimed that the tremendous
contest now before the country had its
origin and meaning in the purpose of the
republicans to obtain absolute control of
the states by force, in order to perpetuate
their power, whether the people are will-
ing or not; and in furtherance of their
purpose almost every republican speaker
had been seeking to impress the coun-
try with the idea of great danger
to come from what they called
the confederate congress." Mr.
Hill continued at some length 0in
defense of the south and her representa-
tives, and referred to his own actions dur-
ing events connected with the first move-
ment toward secession. He spoke of Vir-
ginia's proclamation for a peace confer-
ence, and how he hoped for its success
Seven states had then gone out and there-
fore could not participate in such a con-
vention, but they watched every move-
ment with interest. Those very men
who make charges of infidelity against the
southern people went to Washington to
defeat the purposes of Virginia. In proof
of this he read the following letter:
Washington, Feb. 11, 1861.—My dear
Governor—Gov. Bingham and myself tele-
graphed to you on Saturday, at the re-
quest of Massachusetts and New York, to
send delegates to the peace or compromise
congress. They admit that we were right
and they were wrong; that no republican
state should have sent delegates, but they
are here and can not get away. Ohio, In-
diana and Rhode Island are coming ix. and
there is danger of Illinois, and now they
beg us for God's sake to come to their res-
cue and save the republican party from
rupture. I hope they will send stiff "backed
men or none. The whole thing was got
up against my judgment and will end in
thin smoke. I hope, as a matter of cour-
tesy to some of our erring brethren, that
you will send the delegates. Truly your
friend, Z. Chandler.
To His Excellency Austin Blair.
To this letter a postscript was added,
saying: The northern people think that the
fight would be terrible, " but without a
little blood-letting the union will vnot, in
my estimation, be worth a rush."
Southern representatives must be trust-
ed. The south sought to avert the war,
while the north tried to bring it on. He
(Mr. Hill) knew republicans olaimed to
have saved the union, but if there had
been no republican party the union would
not have been in peril—there would have
been no secession, no returning boards and
no electoral commission.
At the conclusion of Mr. Hilfs speech
Mr. Chandler explained the circumstances
under which his letter was written, and
spoke of scenes and incidents that took
place previous to the rebellion, and con
eluded by saying: " You ai^ to-day as you
were then, determined either to rule or
ruin this government, and you ean't
do it."
House.
A house bill was reported relating to
the widows of pensioners of the war of
1812, so as to give pensions to women who
are the second time widows. Opposition
was made to the bill, as it was an entire
change of the pension laws, and, on mo-
tion of Mr. Garfield, was referred to the
pension committee. Bill prohibiting the
presence of the military at places of elec-
tions, presented as enrolled, was signed by
the speaker and sent for the signature of
the president pro tem. of the senate.
The house resumed consideration of the
Warner silver bill. Several bills were in
troduced and referred, Including one for
the appointment of a Mississippi river
commission and one for the reduction and
reorganization of the army. The house at
4.25 o'clock adjourned.
Reorganizing the Army*
Representative White, of North Caro-
lina, to-day re-introduced for -reference to
committee on military affairs the Burn-
aide bill ef last session, providing for the
». and reorganisation of the United
States army, and making rules for its gov-
ernment and regulation.
Mississippi Improvement.
The house committee on levees and im-
provement of the Mississippi river held a
meeting to-day. The measure under con-
sideration was that introduced on the 5th
bv Mr. Gibson, of Louisiana, creating a
commission to consist of five members, to
be known as the Mississippi river improve-
ment commission, the tUird section roouir-
ing the commission to report in full to
cangress the amount of land that could be
reclaimed by the construction of such
works as they may deem necessary, that
would permanently prevent the oversow
of such land as is no*r subject thereto
along the route pf said river,
caused objection, and flie question arose
as to the objects of this and all other
measures before the committee whica pro-
pose improvement of the river and recla-
mation of alluvial lands as coequal objects
to be attained. The republican meml^rs
of the committee asserted their opposition
to consideration of any provision except-
ing that which may refer directly to the
subject of improving the navigation of the
river. They contended that the reclama-
tion of alluvial lands was not only impolic
but inmroper to be oonsidered by con-
gress. %ln view of this diversity of opin-
ion leading democratic members of the
committee will endeavor to frame a bill
which will tend to harmonize and meet
the approval of the entr*e committee. Mr.
Gibson introduced in the house, previous
to adjournment to-day. a very materially
modified proposition. wMch will be printed
and refei*red to the committee for action.
Sent to the President.
Bill to prohibit military interference at
elections was sent to the executive man-
sion this evening for approval or disappro-
val of the president.

amount of general produce, buggies and
carriages, and wagon material. There
were also burned about a dozen empty
cars on the track of the Ohio and Missis-
sippi railroad, and some 25 cars loaded
with hay and agricultural implements, and
30 cars of coal. The value of the property
in Caruthers & Co.'s warehouses was be-
tween $40,000 and $50,000, and the total
3 will reach nearly $100,000. Large
amounts of property were in transit, and
was insured. Seven box cars belonging

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
Mystification of the Quarantine
Question — Special Mall Depreda-
tions in Texa*—Mall Service In the
West—Migration to Kansas.
ISpeeial Corr«spon<isnce of tke News.l
Washington, May 5.—Section 7 of
the yellow fever bill, which has been
recommitted in the senate, requires the
national board of health to correspond
and co-operate with local sanitary ofti
cers, boards and authorities, and to con-
fer upon such local officers power to en-
force the provisions of this act, and all
rules and regulations made in pursuance
thereof;
And in case such local officer or board
shall refuse to execute and enforce the
laws of the United States, and the rules
and regulations of the national board of
health made in pursuance thereof, for the
inspection, disinfection and treatment of
vehicles and vessels, their cargoes, j»assen-
gers and crews; or, in the opinion of tlie
national board of health, shall neglect or
fail to do so. it shall be the duty of the
president, upon the application of the na-
tional board of health, to detail from the
medical staff of the army or navy, or the
marine hospital service, a suitable officer
to execute and enforce said laws, rules and
regulations, or to appoint some suitable
person for that "purpose. And it shall be
the duty of the national board of health
to report the facts to the governor of such
state, with such sanitary advice as the
board may think proper m the premises.
This section presents tlie constitu-
tional difficulty which southern senators
have with national quarantine legisla-
tion. I give an extract from the de-
bate:
Mr. Morgan—I ask the honorable sena-
tor from Arkansas whether it is not his
construction of this bill if it shall pass and
become a law that it would authorize the
board of health to prohibit aii states, all
counties, all oities, all municipalities in the
interior of the country from making quar-
antine laws to prevent the access of epi-
demic diseases from places like New Or-
leans, Galveston, Mobile, Pensacola,
Charleston, and so on?
Mr. Garland—I say that the authority
conferred upon this board does empower
them to set aside and supplant the state
quarantine laws, if they see proper to do
so. so far as they apply to persons outside
and property outside, but not as affecting
the strictly internal commerce of a state.
Mr. Morgan—I will state what I mean
by the question. My question, perhaps,
is not as distiuct as it ought to be. Take
the city of Vicksburg, or Baton Rouge, or
Memphis, or Cincinnati, or any other city
up the Ohio river, and I ask the question
whether or not either of those cities after
this proposed law has gone into operation
would, against the consent of this board,
have the power to quarantine the city
against the access of Dei-sons and property
coming from New Orleans when that city
might be infected with epidemic yellow
fever i
Mr. Garland—I have no difficulty in
making an answer to that question. 1*hey
would have the authority to do it until
this board did, to use the language I used
before, supplant what they had done.
Again:
Mr. Maxey—Will the senator allow me
to ask him a question i The exertion of
this power is put under that clause of the
constitution which gives congress power
to regulate commerco with foreign nations
and among the several states. Now, sup-
pose the thing claimed is not that but a
police regulation, have the states surren-
dered their police powers to the govern-
ment of the United States i
Mr. Garland—They have not, and the
supreme court has said that they can not
do it. I will go further in answer to the
question, and say that if the senator, by
any kind of logic or any kind of law, can
resolve this question into its original ele-
ments and show that this is a mere police
regulation in the face of what judge
Cooiey has laid down as taken from an
analysis of the authorities, of course his
objection would weigh something, but it
is a long and a tedious and a crooked road
to do that. .
Senator Garland had quoted from
Cooiey as follows:
In the latest edition of judge Cooiey's
work on constitutional limitations, vide
;e 5S6, the proposition is thus summar-
The line of distinction between that
which censtitutes an interference with
commerce and that which is a mere police
regulation is sometimes exceedingly dim
and siiadowy, and it is not to be wondered
at that learned jurists differ when en-
deavoring to classify the eases which arise.
It is not doubted that congress has the
power to go beyond the general regula-
tions of commerce which it is accustomed
to establish, and to descend to the most
minute directions, if it shall be deemed ad-
visable, and that to whatever extent
ground shall be covered by those direc-
tions, the exercise of state power is ex-
cluded. Congress may establish police
regulations, as well as the states, confin-
ing their operation to the subjects over
which it is given control by the constitu-
tion."
What other subject it is given as com-
plete or more entire authority over than
the regulation of foreign and interstate
commerce? None.
" But as the general police power can
better be exercised under the supervision
of the local authority, and mischiefs are
not likely to spring therefrom so long as
the power to arrest collision resides in the
national courts, the regulations which are
made by congress do not often exclude the
establishment of others by the state cover-
ing very many particulars."
The clauses of the constitution bear-
ing upon the question are as follows:
Congress shall have power
" To regulate commerce with foreign
nations, and among the several states
and the Indian tribes."
44 No preference shall be given by any
regulation of commerce or revenue, to
the ports of one state over those of an
other."
44 No state shall, without the consent
of the congress, lay any imposts, or du
ties on imports or exports, except what
may be absolutely necessary for exe-
cuting its inspection laws:. * *
And all such laws shall be subject to the
revision and eontrol of the congress."
44 To establish postoflices and post
roads."
Senator Garland, who made the prin
cipal argument in support of the bill,
took the ground that by these grants of
power to the general government the
states disabled themselves from
plenary and effective legislation
upon the subject of quarantine.
He cited several instances where state
quarantine laws have been declared un-
constitutional by the supreme court of
the United States, notably that of Texas,
decided in the case of Peete vs. Morgan,
10 Wallace, which went down because
he means of maintaining it was a 44duty
of tonnage" within the meaning of the
constitution. When Missouri attempted
to quarantine Texas cattle the federal
courts said she could not do it. When
California attempted to quarantine the
Chinese the supreme court, in the Chi
Lung case, said she could not do it.
" Why?" asked senator Garlanii. "Rfr-
cause the power belongs to the congre«
of the United States."
the argument on the other side
is also based on decisions of the su-
preme court. Senator Maxey, who has
taken much interest in the question and
whose state rights views I have tele-
graphed you, cites the following opin-
ions of the supreme court in support of
his conviction—Cpnwav et al vs. Tay-
lor's executor, delivered in 18ul:
1?he character and extent of the power
thus conferred .to regulate commerce) and
the boundaries which separate that power
from the powers of the states touching
the same subject, came under discussion in
this court for the first time in Gibbon vs.
Ogden, y Wheaton, 1. It was argued on
both sides with exhaustive learning and
ability. The judgment of the court was
delivered by chief justice Marshall. The
court said: 14 They (the state inspection
laws) form a portion of the immense mass
of legislation which embraces everything
within the territory of a state not surren-
dered to the general government; all which
can be most advantageously exercised by
the states themselves. Inspection laws,
quarantine laws, health laws of every de-
scription, as well as laws for regulating
the internal commerce of a state and those
which respect turnpikes, roads, ferries,
etc., are parts of this mass."
The court in Caiman vs. Philadelphia,
in 1865, say:
Under quarantine laws (of the states) a
vessel registered, or eurolled and licensed,
may be stopped before entering her port
of destination, or be afterwards removed
and detained elsewhere for an indefinite
period; and a bale of goods, upon which
the duties have or have not been paid,
laden with infection, may be seized under
" health laws," and, if it can not be purged
of its poison, may be committed to the
flames.
By parity of reasoning a state quaran-
tine officer is justified in burning U. S.
mails laden with infection, as was done
near Dallas during the panic last sum-
mer. The Unit^l States arc no more
sovereign over the subject of postoflices
and post roads than over the regulation
of inter-state commerce.
The problem of a national quarantine
law is acknowledged by congressmen to
be one of the knottiest ever presented
for solution. If it were presented in the
form of a proposition prohibiting inter-
course during* certoin portion of the
year between the United States and in-
fected ports of other countries, it would
meet with less opposition on constitu-
tional grounds. A number of southern
senators who opposed this bill would
favor a national quarantine law not sup-
planting state regulations.
texas mail matters.
The frequent depredations upon the
U. S. mails in Texas during recent
years have contributed much to the no-
toriety of that state for lawlessness, and
have doubtless served no less than other
classes of crimes, on the tongue of slan-
der, to discourage immigration. Mem-
bers of the Texas delegation here, ap-
preciating, for this reason more than
they would otherwise, the importance
of breaking up offending gangs and put-
ting a stop to the robberies, have occa-
sionally for the past two years called the
attention of the postoffice department to
the matter and urged an increase of the
force of special agents in Texas. Sena-
tor Maxey informs me that he again
brought the subject to the attention of
postmaster general Key in an interview
this morning, showing him a letter
from a prominent Texas republican in re-
lation thereto, who estimates that about
one-eighth of all the mail robberies
committed in tlie United States are
done in Texas. From judge Key's con-
versation, Gen. Maxey is of opinion
that he realizes the necessity for an in-
crease of the detective force. Gen.
Maxey gave him the name of Capt. Mil-
lican, mayor of Weatherford, as a popu-
lar and trusted man, who is well quali-
tied to render efficient service as a spe
cial agent in this line, and who above
all others would be the man to break up
the gang that infests the Fort Worth
and Concho stage and mail routes.
The protection of the mails is a duty
of the United States with which the
state authorities can have little to do
without collision of jurisdictions. The
United States have the power and
should exert it with an energy and
vigor that will be effective in ridding
the state of this most injurious species
of lawlessness.
migration to kansas.
The books of the general land office
at this capital show that in the last nine
months about 2,*250,000 acres of
lands in the state of Kansas have
been taken under the homestead and
pre-emption laws. As they are taken
by actual settlers and in lots of 60 and
180 acres, the aggregate represents be-
tween 7000 and 20,000 families, who
have located on said lands in nine
mouths, and most of whom are no
doubt new-comers to the state. The
area settled is about three times as great
as that settled in the same manner dur-
ing the corresponding period three
yesrs ago, indicating a rapid increase as
well as large proportion in the migra-
tion to that state.
postal service,
To remedy , defects of law, by which
the mail service on several very import-
ant routes in the west and on the fron-
tier had to be suspended and remain so
from three to six months, to the great
inconvenience and loss of large commu-
nities, senator Maxey, chairman of the
committee on postofficos and postroutes,
reported yesterday the following bill,
which passed the senate and goes to the
house:
Bo it enacted by the senate and house of
representatives of the United States of
congress assembled, that in cases where
special service has already been placed on
new routes, the postmaster general may,
in his discretion, extend such service until
the time when service can be obtained by
advertisement. And whenever an ac-
cepted bidder shall fail to enter into con-
tract, or a contractor on any mail
route shall fail or refuse to perform the
service on said route according to his
contract, or when a new route shall be
established or new service required, or
when, from any other cause, there shall
not be a contractor legally bound or re-
quired to perform tlie service, the
postmaster general may make a
temporary contract for carrying
