DALLAS AS ARMY nEADaUAnrEns

There can be no question that Dallas
Is more convenient to the frontier and
accessible from the other parts of the
country than San Antonio. Look at
the line Of posts; examine the dis
tances between Dallas and them, and
then say whether or not the headquar-
tiers of the department would not be
best for the service If located here, in
stead of San Antonio, which is quite
out of the way, has no railroad COM
munication, and is not as near the
fields In which the troops are stationed
and operate as Dallas Is. The estab-
llshment of the headquarters of
the general commanding the de-
partment here would be agree
able socially, and advantageous
commercially. Dallas is just that
much nearer st. Louis, the headquar-
tiers of General Sherman, command
ing the army, and in striking distance
OF the wild Indians, as well as the half
civilized ones who are in the nation.
1t is to be regretted that neither the
secretary Of war nor General Augur,
the accomplished soldier and christian
gentleman now commanding in Texas,
should not have paid our city visit,
in order that they might have seen for
themselves, and the matter has been
brought before them for consideration.
San Antonio would go into spasms
over the bare idea of moving the army
headquarters from there to alive place.
but it cannot be helped. We want
headquarters here.

all in his turn, and made the profit of chang

AMNEsTY.-Now and then we observe an
especially small event in Congress. The press
reports do not record it because the re-
porters, who have sense of obvious fitness
so far as news is concerned, know what to
omit. The other day, for instance, Mr..
Bromberg, of Alabama, offered the petition of
Raphael Semmes, well known as the COM
mander of the Confederate privateer, the
Alabama, asking for pardon. In his petition
Semmes averred that he went with the South
in the war that since the war he had re-
sumed his relations of loyalty; that he de-
sires sprompt and entire oblivion" ex-
cept sas far as history may deal with the
subject" But the House would not grant the
petition. Mr.. Merriam, Mr.. Smart, and Mr..
Hawley, Of Illinois, were prominent in their
objections, MI. Hale thinking Semmes could
wait as long as the claimants under the Geneva
awards have waited. So Semmes remains I'M
pardoned, although he was no more Of rebel
than hundreds of thousands who have re-
ceived amnesty. Why cannot we have
general, genuine, ungrudged amnesty? 1t is
nine years since the war closed, and we are
coming rapidly upon the hundredth anniver-
sary Of our national life Let us have par

Parliamentary Assault on the Dissolution
Policy Of the Ex-Premier.
Hint at a Challenge Amidst Un-
usual Excitement.

[HERALD CABLE DESPATCH FROM LoNDoN.]
LONDON, April "a, 1874
In the House of Commons tonight Mr.. P.
B. Smollett, member for Cambridge, de-
scendant Of the great writer of the same name,
moved vote Of Parliamentary censure on
Mr.. Gladstone for the act of dissolution of
the Parliament in the month of February
last.
Mr.. Gladstone replied in crushing speech,
ridiculing the motion and indicating fully
the late government.
The motion was negatived without d.
vision.
THE DEBATE.
Immediately after the assemblage of the
House of Commons Mr.. Smollett moved that
.sthe suddenness of the late dissolution of
Parliament is deserving of the censure Of the
House" He characterized the act as a coup
T<tat by which the last government sought,
unconstitutionally, to retain power. He de-
clared that Mr. Gladstone had resorted to q
strategem which was ungenerous to his
friends, insolent to his opponents and barely
honest to the nation.
Mr.. Whalley seconded the motion.
Mr.. Gladstone stigmatized the assertion that
the dissolution was secretly planned as Gun
true, absurd and impossible" He challenged
q repetition of the word .trickster'' which
had been applied to him, and upon the re-
fusal of Mr.. Smollett to repeat it he charged
him with lack of decency and manliness. He
defended the act of dissolution, which he de-
clared would have been more inconvenient
had it been postponed.
On concluding his speech Mr.. Gladstone
left the House.
Much excitement was manifested during
and at the close of the debate.

A THREATENED DUEL.
Personal Dispute Tending Towards Fight

PARIS, April "a, 1874
Two Americans, named Frank Riggs and
William Payne, intended hostile meeting on
the border of Belgium, but it has been pre-
vented The police interfered, compelling
the would-be combatants to return to the city
without bloodshed.
Rumor says that an old feud existed be-
tween the fathers of the young men. The
pretext for the dispute is words spoken about
young lady, but the real cause, probably, is
to be found in an ARRAY which took place be-
tween the fathers of the parties fortnight
previously at the Washington Club, Paris.
