WASHINGTON Dec. %.

Congress.-In the House, Mr.. Douglass Of
Illinois, leave, introduced joint resolution for
the annexation of Texas to the United States, in
conformity with the treaty of 1903, for the pur-
chase of Louisiana, which was read the first and
second time, and referred to the Committee of the
Whole on the state of the Union. On motion by
Mr.. Cave Johnson, the rules were suspended tc
allow of reports from committees, notices and the
introduction of bills and regulations and in con-
sequence, the greater part Of the day was taking
up with business of that nature. A number Of
petitions and memorials were, as usual, presented
and referred under the rules.-GlObe.

for the purpose of seeing the Steamer

The Texas Question.

This question has been looked to at the
South, as one of the most important which
would come before the present session OF
Congress. We had hoped from the late
verdict of the people, that this all-impor-
tant subject might be settled without fur
sher delay, but we begin TO think with the
Richmond Enquirer, that "there is dan
ger yet" From the present aspect Of
things, we see no probability Of the pas
sage of the joint resolutions for annexation
offered few days ago, we believe, by
Mr.. McDuffie, of South Carolina.

IMPORTANT DECISIONS

1t will not be forgotten that the legality of the
rules under which duties were collected under the
Compromise Act during, the summer of 1912, was
lately disputed, and that the duties were paid un
der protest. The question has at length been set
tied. The Globe of Saturday says :-"'Fhe Su
preme Court has now decided the matter in con
troversy, having yesterday given a una,simou.
opinion-in a case brought by an importer agains
the Collector of Baltimore, to recover back the
duties paid between 30th June and 3Oth August

1t will be seen from all extract oil a letter
below, that the Senator from Onslow-Mr.
Enuet, has hcen expelled from the Senate:
"RALE1GH, Dec. 22d, 1914.
y s'Our old friend Ennet, was on
yesterday unceremoniously expelled from
his seat in the Senate, and the Federal par
ty, to gain majority in the Senate, and
thereby get the power Of doing as they
please, have wronged man, disgraced
themselves, and cast stain upon their
party, that no human hand can ever wipe
away. Yes, Sir, such injustice was, as
sure you, never practiced upon an Amerl-
can citizen before. His Counsel were
not permitted to defend him. They were
ruled down, and Mr.. Henry was ruled out.
The Federal party no doubt have caucus
sed, and had made up their minds and re-
solved to pursue just the course they have
done. All the proof under Heaven could
not have saved him; and, sir, he has not
been expelled because his enemies think
him guilty. No, no. 1t is, | ssure you,
not so. But the main reason is this: Mr..
Ennetis Democral-the Feds want pow
err; and to get it, they will Go almost any
Thing. assure you there is most tire,
mendous excitement here. They (thc
Feds are now in power, and will no doubt
make every effort to get through their ia
vorite measures. before Oaslow can send
Mr.. Ennet back"
We had hoped better things Of the Fed
cralists, but we are now of opinion, if new
er before. that they are capable of doing
anything for the sake of carrying theil
point. Here is a man that has evi.
IDENTIFY been imposed upon-had deliber
ate fraud practised upon him; as soon as
he finds it out-as an honest man should
have done-he Immediately brings the
subject before the Senate, and inUites an
investigation Of the matter; committee i:
appointed, unfricndly to Mr.. Emmett polit
ically, they can't find out who committed
the forgery; and the result is-a resolution
is offered by the Chairman Of the commit
tee, that he, MIR. Ennet, is the guilty per
son or accessory to the forgery, and Is
then expelled by q strict party Oote.
The first resolution which declares thai
aforgery had been committed, we learn
from the Fayetteville Observe, was passed
unanimously, but the question having beer
divided, when it was taken onthe I'd and 81
together, they were carried by the casting
vOte the Speaker. Here then, we have
federal authority to warrant us in our opin
ion and belief, that party maIignity ha
been the cause of the expulsion of Mr.
Ennet. We believe-wiLh our correspon
dent, who ought to know something abou
affairs in Raleigh, that he has been expel
led "not because his enemies thought hin
guilty." but so as to enable them to carr
their measures through, which they knew
was impossible for them to do, unless the,
could get rid of a Democratic member.
A writ has, we learn, been issued for al
election to take place in the county of Ons
low, on the Both instant. We have ever,
assurance that Nr. Ennet, the in ure
man, will be returned. If so, it will onl
go to show that the people of OnsIo1
know how to meet gross insult aimed &
iheir whole county.

MeItco.-We have information from

that the revolution in JaIisco presents each
day an aspect more formidable. Gen.

galnst the Congress, while that body is
daily publishing every document received
both tor and against the revoIution-a cir
cumstance which would Indicate that the
members are determined to act indepen-

That majority of them are in favor of a
change OF government, and heartily sick
OF the tyrannicaf and oppressive measures
OF Santa Anna, we see no reason to doubt.
