Delegation Divided.
JUDICIAL DISTRICTS.
rErom lhe anlyoston News.l

From the Galveston News.
WASHINGTON, April 9.--An unfort :
ntc division of opinion among the
members Of the Texas delegation in
congress endangers, fear, the success
of any bill looking TO u convenient di-
vision of the state into judicial dis.
tricts. Ab0utthree months ago, through
the intervention of Major Ochiltree, a
bin was prepared which ii was sup
posed would meet the views of the en-
tire delegation and which, in fact, has
been quite generally approved in the
state, if | may Judge from the COM
ments that have been made upon it by
the press. The bill refer to isthe one
introduced by Senator Flanagan in
January, which proposes to divide the
state into two districts by line cor
responding with the western bounda-
ries of the counties through which the
Central railroad runs until Hampstead
is reached, and then DETECTING west
ward so as to include in the eastern
district the counties ofColorado, Whar-
ton, Fort Bend, Matagorda, Brazoria
and Waller.
The three places ut which IL is pro-
posed to hold court in this district are
Galveston, Jefferson and Tyler, while
in the western district court would be
held at Austin and lndianola. But il
now appears that this bill will have to
encounter in the senate the opposition
of Senator Hamilton, who may be
able to retard, if not defeat, its passage.
Hamilton's opposition is, believe,
based on two grounds. In the first
place he favors the division OF the
state into four judicial districts and the
creation of new circuit, rs proposed

The number OF recent lawless acts In
various states, Including Kentucky
Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Texas
seems greater than usual. Organized
robberles Of banks, railway trains, etc,
some times accompanied by murder,
have occurred In Missouri, Iowa and
elsewhere. The cases In Texas have
been numerous ia n few localities, but
by no means general. II Is supposed
that some ofthe depredatora arc refu-
