The tone of Washington dispatches indicates
that Stanley Matthews may get through after
all, and that Don Pardee will be Judge Woods's
successor in this district.
The situation muat be alarming to the Re-
publican Senators when the whole body is to be
formed into a committee of safety, and every
member is charged to pour oil on tho troubled
waters.
The International Railroad Company is im-
porting skilled wood-choppers from Mexico
Into the oak forests between Austin and
Hearne, who are found to be very expert tie-
makers.
The effort to connect the Star Route ring
with the nomination of Hancock looks very
much like an effort on the part of party
manipulators to take the sting of reproach
away from their own doors. The Hancock-
Star-Route business is a flash in the pan.
Waxahachie had a public meeting and
unanimously nominated that thriving and
eligible place as a candidate for the State
University. A committee of seven on Ways
aud Means, and another of three on Subscrip-
tions, were appointed.
Owners of some of the fish ponds in West-
ern Texas value their young carp and Califor-
nia salmon, four to six inches in length, at a
cow and a calf each, and from that figure up
to a quarter section of land, according to
length and pertness.
The Attorney-General, constituted by law
the legal adviser of heads of departments,
doubtless would cheerfully, if solicited, give
the Comptroller his official opinion on the va-
rious knotty questions involved in the drum-
mers' tax, and possibly thereby obviate litiga-
tion and confusion.
The tribute which Premier Gladstone paid
to tho life, work and distinguished worth of
Lord Beaconsfield, in the English House of
Commons Monday, was a noble testimony
from a generous opponent, and, all facts
considered, can have no less effect than the
elevation of Mr. Gladstone in the esteem of lib-
eral men throughout the world.
The difference between architects is illus-
trated by the action of the new State-house
Commission in paying $1700 for the best plan
for a capitol building, and §3000 for selecting
it. The architect who submitted the plan was,
with several skilled draughtsmen, engaged
three or four months in its preparation, but
the architect who selected it was two weeks
upon tbe job.
Captain Walsh, Commissioner of the Gen-
eral Land Offics, has issued a circular to cer-
tain surveyors in Eastern Texas who have, in
his opinion, undervalued the school lands. He
rejects their valuations and suspends sales of
these lands until valuations more in keeping
with his ideas have been made. The Commis-
sioner tells his subordinates some plain truths,
which have been noted hitherto in this paper,
apparently without heed by these officers,
who generally are more interested in their fees
from the sale of these lands and in the specu-
lations probably of real estate dealers than in
protecting the school fund. The pointed letter
of Captain Walsh is printed in another column.
The latest developments in the Star Route
business fasten conclusively upon ex-Senator
Dorsey a guilty participation in the gigan-
tic fraud. The facts detailed from
Oregon this morning are the his-
tory of operations so bold that
the question presents itself, how could such
things go on without an inkling of them get-
ting beyond the four walls of the Second
Assistant Postmaster-General's office? Noth-
ing since the uprooting of the Whisky ring
has equaled in the extent of its ramifica-
tions this nest, and the Administration, if it
desires to be of clear repute, must inaugurate
a prosecution thorough and complete. Let the
ex-Senator have that full investigation for
which he clamored so loudly a few days ago.
Hon. C. R. Gibson, Chairman of the En-
rolling Committee of the Texas House of Rep-
resentatives, in the Waxahachie Mirror, ex-
plains that the amendment to the Galveston
City Charter adopted by the Conference Com-
mittee was left out of the enrolled bill by the
Sonata Enrolling Committee, and that his
clerk and committee are not responsible for
the omission. Mr. Gibson's clerks and com-
mittee are credited with good and careful
work, and those interested will regret that
this bill did not originate in the House, where
it would have received proper attention.
However, iu this and other cases, due allow-
ance ought to be made for the demoralization
of members and employes of the Legislature
during the closing hours.

The farmers complain of too muoh rain, but
the corn and cotton stands were never better
than at this season, although the fields are a
little foul.
The Prohibition State Convention has been
called to convene at Dallas on "the 8th of June.
The defeat of the prohibition amendment by
the Legislature is the cause for this movement.
Delegates to the National Convention to be
held at Saratoga, N. Y., on the 21st ot June,
are to be appointed.
A quarrel between two gambling characters
at Alvarado yesterday led to the discharge of
firearms, during which Dr. Ross, a bystander,
received a bullet through the shoulder, which
it is feared will prove fatal. The quarrel
originated over a game of cards. The horse
of the party who opened fire was killed, but
the rider escaped. The citizens are scouring
the country for him.

points west of there will hereafter be routed

Fort Worth the position heretofore occupied
by Dallas tor Western freights.
Two train dispatchers have been sent from
this point to Baird, where all dispatching west
of that point is to be done hereafter.
The City Democratic Convention met to-day
and nominated Dr. J. W. Crowdus as its can-
didate for Mayor by acclamation. The Com-
mittee on Resolutions reported the following
as the platform of the Democratic party of
Dallas for the pending municipal campaign and
election:
Be it resolvod, that the Democratic party is
pledged to an economical administration of
the city government, and imperatively de-
mands that from this time on our expenditures
be kept strictly within our income.
Resolved, that the office of Mayor is a
municipal and not a State office; that the duty
of the Mayor is fully discharged when he car-
ries out the ordinances, leaving to the State
and county the enforcement of tne statute laws
of the State.
Resolved, that all surplus revenue, after the
payment of interest on our debt, be expended
on the permanent improvement of streets and
other sanitary measures,
Resolved, that we believe it will be best to
have the interest on our debt payable semi-
annually in the city of New Tork, instead of
having so many classes of bonds with interest
yable at Dallas and Austin, and at so many
different periods of time.
The Executive Committee selected is as fol-
lows: W. H. Leman, chairman; First Ward,
R. Flanagan, T. J. A. Brown and J. B. Frank-

Arrested for Tampering With a Pris-
oner in Jail—Convictions Before the
District Court.
[Special Telegram to The iVeiea.1
Cameron, May 10.—On Sunday afternoon
ex-Couaty Judge Boykin and his wife ob-
tained permission to visit the County Jail for
the purpose of seeing Robert J. Boy kin, Jr.,
who is there incarcerated under a charge of
murder. While in the jail. Sheriff Lipscomb
observed Mrs. Boykin hand something through
the bars of the cell to Robert Boykin, and im-
mediately informed the lady that nothing
could be transmitted to a prisoner without
having been previously inspected by him.
Thereupon Robert Boykin passed back a news-
paper through the bars, but the Sheriff, sus-
pecting foul play, ordered Jailer Craigin to
watch the cell while he went after the keys.
Upon his return the Sheriff thoroughly searched
the cell and found upon Boykin's bed a cold
chisel and a saw. Complaint was made
against Judge and Mrs. Boykin. The examin-
ing trial upon the charge is now in progress
before Justice Nabours. A great deal of inter-
est is manifested by the citizens in this matter.
District Court is progressing well. The crim-
inal docket was taken up on Monday, and there
have been already three felony convictions—
viz.: James Stephens, theft, three years; Jim
Williams, colored, assault with intent to mur-
der, three years, and J. D. Swinney, alias Jones,
the mail robber, eight years. •
Crops are good, but somewhat in the grass.
After some two weeks of severe and secret
labor, tho Committee of Eleven succeeded in
bringing forth a meeting at the Cotton Ex-
change. What was done thereat will be
learned by consulting the local columns of The
News. There were speeches and resolutions,
and then more speeches, but the important
matter of a cash balance was conspicuous by
its absence. A railroad to Mexico would be
dirt cheap if the donation of terminal privi-
leges upon the island could secure such a re-
sult. The terminal privileges, however, are in
the future. There is no immediate necessity
for telling people on the island to keep out of
tho way of the Mexican locomotive. From an
elevated pinnacle the disposition rather seems
to be to keep out of the way of subscription
lists. But this may bo an erroneous view,
Practical and solid and triumphant results
may be impending. The end proves the
work.
Too Quick. With Their Pistols.
Cincinnati, May 10.—A special to the

This morning at Chattanooga two policemen,

killed Albert Zwelts, who had tried to run
when ordered by them to halt. Their purpose
was to arrest him, but they had no warrant
and ho was unarmed. Both of the policemen
were arrested and there is a good deal of in-
dignation about the affair.

Austin, May 10.—The new capitol, if built
upon the plan adopted, will be of four stories,
including the basement. Length of building,
539feet, without porticoes; 966J^, including
porticoes; depth of center, 288 feet; height, in-
cluding dome, 311 feet. The basement is ad-
mirably arranged for heating, sewerage, etc.
There are fifty one rooms in the basement.
Ia the second story is the Senate Chamber,
seventy-two by seventy-six feet, surrounded
by lobbies, cloak-rooms, wash-rooms, closets,
Lieutenant Governor's, postofflce, clerks and
committee rooms, to the number of eighteen.
Representative Hall is on same floor, seventy-
two by ninety-six feet, surrounded as the
Senate with officers' and other necessary rooms.
Height of Senate and House walls forty-eight
feet. On this floor, in front center, is a por-
trait gallery; and in the north center the State
Library room, one hundred and twenty-two
by fcixty-flve feet.
The third story consists of the galleries of
the Senate and House of Representatives, and
rooms for the Supreme Court and Court of
Appeals, thirty-seven by sixty-eight feet each,
and the Law Library, twenty-six by forty-
eight feet; nine judges' rooms, sixteen commit-

There are two elevators, one on each side of
the grand south entrance, connecting the sev-
eral, stories, to be run either by steam or
hydraulic power. The changes in the original
plaa, proposed by the architectural expert,
while promoting convenience are neither ma-
terial in character nor such as will incur extra
cost. The expert speaks in the highest
terms of the samples of building ma-
terial collected by the Commissioners from
various sections of Texas, and advises
that they be submitted to mechanical and
chemical teats in New York or elsewhere as
early as practicable. He also suggests that the
Buftding Commissioners, in view of the heavy
responsibility resting upon them, visit North-
ern States and familiarize theiflselves with the
work of similar structures now being built.
Unfortunately, however, there is no provision
for the last item of expense.

Washington, Mav 10.—The Vice-President
laid before the Senate tbe unfinished business,
being the resolution for the election of Senate
officers.
Mr. Pendleton meved to go into executive
session, which motion was, at 12:10, agreed to.
When the doors were reopened, at 12:30 p. m.,
the Senate adjourned until to-morrow.
Other Cases to be Considered.
Washington, D. C., May 10.—The Stanley
Matthews case was not taken up to-day, but
will probably be concurred in to-morrow. The
Judiciary Committee this morning agreed to
recommend the nomination of Don A. Pardee
United States Cirout Judge for the Fifth
Circuit, and subsequently reported the nomina-
tion favorably to the Senate. The nomination
of Michael J. C. Rome, now Charge d'Affaires
to Denmark, to be Charge d'Affaires to Swit-
zerland, was reported • favorably from the For-
eign Legation Committee, during the executive
session this afternoon. Tlie Judiciary Commit-
tee reached the nomination of Wm. Chandler
as Solicitor-General, at their meeting to-day,
but laid it aside for consideration at another
special meeting, to be held probably to-mor-
row. The President withdrew from the Sen-
ate the nomination of Wm. Jesse Grant as
Postmaster at Terrell, and John Grant to be
Postmaster at Brackettsville.
Discontinuing mail Routes.
Washington, May 10.—Orders were issued
to-day from the Postofflce Department to dis-
continue steamboat mail service on the follow-
ing routes in the South and Southwest: Mem-
phis, Tenn., to Wittsburg, Ark., 140 miles;
Camden, Ark., to New Orleans, 671 miles.
Service on the following routes will be discon-
tinued after August 1, next: Elizabeth City to
Williamston, N. C., 120 miles; Point Clear to
Gasque, Ala., 147 miles; Mobile to Selma, Ala.,
310 miles. It is stated at the Department that
this step is taken because the Postmaster-Gen-
eral has ascertained that service for
nearly all intermediate offices on these routes
is performed jointly by steamboat and inland
Star Route contractors, and that the entire
service can be satisfactorily performed over
the Star routes alone by simply extending
them in a few particular localities. These ex-
tensions can bo made to answer in every in-
stance, at very slight expense compared with
the cost of the steamboat service, which will
be discontinued, thus reducing the expenses of
carrying the mails. Other and larger reduc-
tions and discontinuance of what the Depart-
ment regards as unnecessary routes in various
sections of the United States may be expected
from time to time.

mittee, and reception of the same through the

tion on the completion of their tomb and
monument, referring to General Jackson, said:
From the academic shades of tho military in-
stitute he went forth to battle for the cause of
States rights, self-government and consti-
tutional liberty. Nobody expected that this
quiet professor would have an opportunity to
snow the great qualities he possessed and be
come the great hero of our war, aud to-day he
stands, in tbe opinions of Europeans, so far as
I know it, the mightiest chieftain of the Con-
federate cause. This silent professor con-
stantly rose like a meteor over
the battle-field of the Confederacy, only
for the light was
y. It shown to the
very close, increasing in brilliancy and in the
trust wfaioh people reposed in it. Such was
Jackson. He lived for hfs country, never
doubting the justtoo of his caus6, believ
ing it was righteous and trusting
in it, he died as I live to-day, feeling
that the Confederacy ought;to have succeeded
because it was founded on truth and'justice.
He gave hfs life for the whole country, and the
country gave its heart to Jackson. You men
upon whom he leaned in the hour of danger, in
honoring him also honor yourselves.

The Peasant Rents I'kase.
St. Petersburg, May 11.—The ukase rela-
tive to the peasant rents, the terms of which
have been settled, is'expected to issue in a few
days. General Melikoff and m. daba^a havo
been its principal promoters. An experience
of twenty years has shown that the payments
imposed on the peasants for lands received at
tho tkne of the emancipation of serfs brought
much more benefit to tho landed proprietors
than to the peasants. Iu many cases these
payments amount to more than the whole in-
come capable of being derived from the land.
The ukase will decree that proprietors and
] xsasants may come to a voluntary agreement
:'or a complete transfer of tho ownership
to pea^mts until January 1, 1883,
when the period of obligatory transfers will
begin. In the meantime, annual payments

Republicans Frightened.
Washington, May 10.—The Republican
Senators reassembled in caucus this afternoon,
and resumed their private conference in regarc
to the contested nomination for the New York
Collectorship. The discussion as to the expe
diency of bringing this case before tbe timate
for final action at the present session followed
the same line as yesterday, but was more col-
loquial and was characterized also by
less animation. As a result of this supple-
mental interchange of views, it was finally
ascertained to be the sense of the caucus that
further efforts to harmonize matters and avert
the threatened conflict in the party should be
made by all members of the caucus prior to
taking action on any phase of the subject as
now presented. a resolution to this effect \
adopted unanimously by a rising vote The
caucus, shortly after 5 o'clock, adjourned to
meet at the call of the chairman. It is stated
that Senator Edmunds withdrew his
resolution by which it was proposed to de-
clare as the sense of the caucus that
it is inexpedient for the Senate to take action
at this session on any contested nomination to
fill an office not now vacant. He withdrew it.
it is said, because a careful ctoivass showed
that if pressed for adoption it would be de-
feated by vote of 3 to 2. The work of peace-
making ordered by the caucus to-day was not
delegated to a committee, but to all the Repub
lican Senators individually.
Opposing its Abandonment.
Washington, May 10.—Mr. Wilson, Presi
dent of tie Port Royal Railroad, and Hon
Wm. Elliott, of Beaufort, s. c., are here
opposing the abandonment of the naval stat
at Port Royal, as indicated to be the poiicy
by the withdrawal of the New Hamp-
shire. They were strongly backed by
a Senator, who called with them on
the President yesterday. The delegation was
received kindly by Mr. Garfield, who was mush
interested in the statement that the duties paid
at the Beaufort Custom-house were equal to
those paid at Charleston and Savannah to-
gether, while the expenses of their collection
were only a twentieth part of either one of
those ports. The Secretary of the Navy was
visited, as was Admiral Porter. The result
is that a promise was secured that
Port Royal would be continued
as a naval station. Another storesbip
would soon take the place of the New Hamp
shire. Admiral Porter favors the establish
ment of naval repair shops in the noble har-
bor of Port Royal, which, he said, was the
only one worthy of the name on the Soutn
Atlantic coast south of Norfolk.

them unprotected by the police. This morn

The Anti-Jewish Strife.
losdon, May 10.—Professor Dragamonoff
writes to the Pull Mall Gazette from Geneva
The significance of the recent anti-Jewish
rising in Russia is much underrated. it ex

has been an undying hatred for centuries.
The trouble does riot originate in religious
animosities. It is purely a social
war, long foreseen by those
familiar with the condition of the Ukraine.
It may assume frightful proportions. Of the
3,000,000 Jews, an immense majority are
crowded together in the towns and cities of
the South and West. In many towns thev
form a majority of the population. Through
their hereditary avocation as usurers, spirit
dealers, traders, etc., they have made them-
selves master alike of indebted landlords and
unfortunate peasants. It is the deep-seated
; detestation of the peasant for the money-
' lender Which is breaking out in the Ukraine.
