The Thirteenth Legislature, or
several Of them, met in the basement
Of the capitol. The following is an
entry in their Journal:
"Capitol Building, Austin, January
10, IL m.--In consequence of the |
Senate Chamber having been seized
by body Of men styling themselves
the Senate of the Fourteenth Legisla.
ture of Texas, thus depriving the
legally constituted Senate OF the
State from assembling therein, the
Senate of the Thirteenth Legislature
of the State of Texas convoncs in
Capitol building In pursuance OF law,
ETC., at IL M, Thos. III. Baker, Chairs
man of Senate; Henry Moore, Speak
CT of House. Roll was called. No
quorum present in either body. The
Sergeant-at- Arms was directed to
bring in absent members tomorrow
morning. Adjourned till ten O'Clock
tomorrow"
There were but five Senators and
about an equal number of Repres en-
tatiyes present, though they impro-
vised several of each. A perfect
farce. Col. Saylor refused to attend.
Says he respects the powers that be,
and that should 1t become necessary
to prevent the State from being put
under military rule, he would assem-
BILE with the Thirteenth Legislature,
that is, if the Fourteenth Legislature
was denied all authority or action.
Another telegram from Flanagan
to Senator of the late Thirteenth
Legislature is exactly like the one to
Senator Swift, of yesterday; and one
from the Texas Democratic Congress
men to persons high in authority in
the Fourteenth Legislature says the
President has been interviewed and
that he refused DAVIS application for
troops. He advises Davis to respect
the will Of the people, and says to
organize and install the State officers.
Everything Is perfectly orderly to>
day, and showed that nothing hasty
or Incorporate was designed The
tact that Senators Flanagan and Ran
die coming in and taking sheir oatls
satisfied every one that nothing of a
serious nature would be attempted
by the Davis party.
There has been no provision made
for the representatives. The halls
are without water or stationery.
Me,srs. Nagle and Thompson offiere..
to sell them any stationery needed.
AUSTIN, Jan. 13.-The delivery of
the Governors response to the joint
Committee of the Fourteenth Legis-
lature postponed till tomorrow.
MRS., Swope, from Live Oak, was
run over by horse belonging to Mr..
Faser and badly injured. The acct

niture store. The poor woman, who Is
encieate, is thought to be fatally in'
jured.
JEFFERSON, Jan. ia large ard
enthusiastic meeting OF citizens to-
day adopted the following resolu,
tons:
Resolced, That the Snpreme Court
OF Texas, in its recent decision, at
tempting to subvert the free action
of the people. of Texas by rendering
null and void their voice at the ballot
box, speaking by majority OF fifty
thousand, deserves the unmitlgated
contempt OF all honest men, without
regard to party
Resolced, That Governor DAVIS, by
his action in secretly applying to
President Grant to send troops to be
quartered at the capital, in time Of
peace, with view to overawc thu
action of the people OF Texas, and
their representatives, has only fur
ther and irretrievably blackened hi
official record-black as it was before
and earnestly call ON the State Senat,
TO recognize no nomination of Davis
unless sent anew by Governor Coke
Resolced, That the reply OF Presi
dent Grant TO the application o
Davis, advising HIM to yield to tn,
voice of the people,is well timed ant
worthy of the high trust he hold il
that he entities himself to the thank
of a hitherto oppressed people.
Resolved, That in the present at
titude OF affairs, Texas expects ever,
