The Texas Debt Bill.

1t seems that, in the face of the contrary
representations of the writer's for the press
interested in the final settlement of the Texas
debt, the Texan Legislature is about TO put its
veto on the triumph of their hopes. The Aus
Lin Gazette, of the I'D ult., says:
The debate on the Texas debt bill was
brought to close on Wednesday last, in the
House of Representatives, when the vote upon
the engrOssment of the bill was taken, and
Iesulted-aycs 40, noes 46. Mr.. West, of
Travis, friend of the bill, voted no for the
purpose of moving a reconsideration. Mr.
iaryer immediately moved a reconsideration,
declaring, at the same time, his intention to
vote against the reconsideration. The friends
OF the bill, by moving call of the House, &c /;
prevented the vote being taken upon the mo-
tion on Wednesday.
On Thursday, upon motion of Mr. Tarver,
Inc motion to reconsider the vote was post
poned until the 18th of February next. The
late OF the measure is still uncertain"

The House then adjourned.
Pfsceedings Of Ts.Day.

in the House, to-day, Mr.. Campbell. of
Ohio, moved TO rescind the ten minutes rule
until Wednesday next, to enable Messrs.
Banks, Richardson, and Fuller to answer at
length such questions as might be propounded
to them under the resolution of Mr.. Zoilicoffer
adopted yesterday. .Ea.rs.., ..s
: Mr.. c. addressed the House in favor Of his
motion, arguing, in the course of his remarks,
that party platforms were very worthless
things, and exhibiting an immense scrapbook.
containing, as he declared, only the platforms
of the various parties in this country, adopted
and promulged since 1882 He had come to
the conclusion that " it is dangerous to stand
on the platform" in politics as on the rail
cars--there being SNAKE heads" and very
dangerous ones, in politics as on railroads,
and the chances of smashing collisions being
as many in the one as in the other.
Mr. Jones, of Tenn, opposed resembling the
ten minutes rule, except to permit the various
candidates for the Speakership, to answer to
their own satisfaction the inquiries about to
be formally put to them. 7af1 fHEsr
Mr.. MiIlson replied in q few remarks to Mr..
Campbell, of Ohio.
Mr. Bingham, also, proposed to put series
of inquiries to the various candidates for
Speakership, relative to their views on squat
ter sovereignty, the eOnstitutionality of the
fugitive slave law, ana oil the antl-aDOlltl0n
laws Of the legislature of Kansas, &C., &c.
Mr. Boyce also proposed to put to the can
didates series of question--whetber they are
for the restoration of the Missouri restriction,
the prohibition of Slavery in the United States
territories, for the abolition Of Slavery in the
District of Columbia, for the equalization of
the white and black race in this country; how
on the Know Nothing issue &c.
MIR. Richardson, then taking the floor, after
stating that he was ready to answer every
question fully and Enthusiastically that might
