PROGRESS OF THE TEXAS QUESTION IN THE
LEGISLATURE.

The rampant constitutional doctors Of the Assembly.
have cooled down little in their pretensons. They
been compelled ask conference and yesterday. on
motion of Mr., Wallace. the Senate passed a resolution
vng the House appoint a committee Join its own
committee in FRIENDLY the sub
ject OF disagreement between the two Houses.
Accordingly, the House responded in smeable tone
and the joint committee commenced its session about
O'Clock yesterday. ..
The committee the part Of the Senate consists Of
Messrs. Wallace. Thompson Of k Sanurd, Taylor Cart.
er, McMuen, and Caper,on; the part Of the House
Messrs Witcher, Preston. Edmunds Of H., Bowden, To-
er, Anderson, and STROLLER.
We anticipate No coMFRoNI.E SUBJECT. The
House cannot give inch, without yielding the whole
question which is full and unconditional admission of
the POWER CoSoREss ASNEN FOREIGN STATE BY
RKsoLrToSan absurdi,y, the discovery of which
have been reserved this age Of political en-
pyricism and folly.
