TEXAS AFFARs.-There is a prospect of
serious difficulty in Texas, growing cut of
the acts Of the late Convention, in passing
resolutions deposing Governor Houston.
The latter refuses to submit, and several
hundred Rangers, commanded by officers
lately appointed by Houston, are encamped
at San Antonio. IL appears that HoustOn's
friends have possession of a good portion of
the property turned over to the State au-
thOrities by Gen. Twiggs. But little is
known as to HOustOn's intentions, but it is
probable he intends to place himself at the
head Of the Lone Star party, who favor an
independent republic, and the conquest of
Mexico.

FAMINE IN INDIA.-A Bombay paper, Of
February 18th, contains the annexed ac-
count of the ravages of famine in the north
west provinces.
Horrible accounts reach US from the North
west Provinces Of human beings dying at the
rate Of 400 or 500 day; while the desolation is
not even limited to the vast expanse Of country
from Lucknow to Lahore; for tales are now told
equally appalling of the extremities to which
the population Of the native State Of Travancore
in the south Of India, are reduced by the
drought, which has caused all the fruits of the
earth to wither. According TO Cochin news

The Sour HERN LOAN.-Some weeks age
it was announced that the Government of
the Southern COnfederacy found no difficult
ty ia negotiating their 100000 loan at
par. But 1t appears that no portion of the
loan has not yet been taken, and there is
no knowing that II will be. The Secretary
Of the Treasury has given notice that pro-
posals would be opened on the 18th of
April, in the principal cities and towns OF
the COnfederacy; that bids would be re.
ceived in sums of City dollars aud upwards,
and that paper money would be received at
the current rates. 1t is possible that this
loan may all be taken among their own cit.
izens; but no capitalist outside of the Con-
federacy would touch it. BY the last Pony,
q dispatch was received stating that the
treasury notes Of the COnfederacy had sold
at twenty per cent. premium. If this re-
port Is true 1t cannot refer to any legiti-
mate business transaction. The notes have
not accumulated any interest, and if any
Of them we're ever sold at rates above par,
the sale was merely for effect

LEGISLATIVE APPORTIONMENT.-The As
sembly Committee appointed to apportiOn
the State made report on Monday. and
gave table showing the white and coored
population OF all the counties of the State.
In nine Of the Southern counties the census
takers neglected to discriminate the races,
and the Committee made an estimate Civ
ing those counties the same proportion OF
white and colored inhabitants as was shown
by the 0gures to exist in other counties.
In their anxiety to give the agricultural
districts large representation 10 succeed
ing Legislatures, the Committee have been
exceedingly liberal in their estimates of the
white population of the counties in which
the returns we're defective. 1t is evident
that frauds were perpetrated by the census
agents in some counties, and as the Legis-
lature will have to estimate the representa-
tive population of those very counties, the
vote at the last election would be the fair
est basis for an estimate. The proportion
Of voters to the white population. through.
out the State, is about as one to three
Let the white population of San Diego, San
Bernardino, Los Angeles, San Luis Obispo,
Santa Barbara, Fresno. Tulare, Monterey
and Santa Cruz be estimated at three times
the vote they cast at the last election, and
they should be satisfied. The agricultural
and commercial districts will hereafter have
majority in both branches Of the Legisla-
ture, and the members from the mining
counties should see that they have no more
than they are justly entitled to.

REFUNDEDs-A bill has passed the Legis-
iature, and been approved by tie Governor,
refunding to NJ. Brennan, Assessor of Ne
vadA county, $l2S 93, for money Overpaid
on poll tax receipts. AbOat year ago,
Mr. Brennan paid over to the County Treas
urer some $3.50 for poll tax receipts which
had been mislaid, but were afterwards
found. On evidence of the mistake being
presented to, the Supervisors they ordered
the proportion Overpaid.tO the county to
be refunded !; but as the receipts had been
returned to the Controller as sold, he had

refunding the portion overpaid to the State.

Mr.. DEALY, one of the proprietors of the Co
lumbia marble mills, has discovered an exten-
sive quarry of nearly white marble ofa superior
quality, at the foot of Gold Hill, in Columbia,
Tuolumne county. He has already obtained
several immense blocks of beautiful tint and
quality from the new quarry fine enough for
statuary purposes. The above discovery affords
another proof that many valuable productions
Of our State remain undiscovered for want of an
intelligent search for them.

is none ct all about his opponent. We can

D The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun says:
hear of the circulation in business circles of
treasury notes of small denomination (S50),
which having been indorsed by the government
creditor to whom they we're issued, pass as cur.
rently as specie paying bank notes. They are
redeemable in two years, and bear interest at
the usual rate.
A great squabble is going on among the pa.
triots touching the Offices of the House Of Rep
resentatives. One would think that In this
hour Of the countrys perils the coarse, harsh
note Of wrspgling among friends would be bush
ed. But not 30. Not only is the spois doctrine
recognized and justified in general, but the
spoismen are now engaged in pillaging their
own camp.
1t is stated in the press generally that DR..
John Richards, Of this city, who was taken
prisoner near the Falls Church, by the Confed-
crate troops, has been released. But as he has
not returned home, the fear is that be has been
carried "beyond the borders of the Confeder-
ate States" farther into the interior-perhaps
to Montgomery. The war has worked more
changes in the medical fraternity than in that
of any other profession. DR.. Garnett has left
for Richmond, where he is said to have large
practice already. Drs. Boyle, Maury and
Miller are understood to be in the Confederate
army.
Mayor Berret extended the time for the
reception of bids for the SIS, 900 loan, in aid of
the families of our District volunteers, until
three o'clock this afternoon, but the only pro-
posal received was one for $3.50. Six per
cent. was, unquestionably, too low figure at
this time.
At the usual hour this morning, when Mr..
Halliday, collector, and Mr.. Morgan, register,
entered their respective offices in the city hall,
they found that Mr. Dixon and Mr.. Douglass,
the recently elected collector and register, re
spectively, had reached there before them, and
took possession. During the day the two sets Of
officers have been in attendance, one set claim
ing he c6iees and the other The books.
