Our representatives, Messrs. Brad
shaw, Middleton and Kemble, have,
i'm voting against James w. Throck-
morton as the successor of Mr.. Flana-
gan in the United States senate, disap-
pointed at least very large number OF
the people of Tarrant county. We
were present in o large crowd of citi-
zens Of all Classes and conditions when
the news was received, and, with enc
accord, they expressed decided disap-
probation as to the result. They prob
ably did what they deemed for the best
interest of the State, but they certain
ly did not represent their constituents
Of the Pwsntisth district, unless we
have been mislnformed as to their sem
Worth Democrat.

THERE was no court in this county
this week. The constitution requires
the governor to make appointments
when vacancies occur in the office of
district judges, and to send in the ap-
pointments so made to the senate for
confirmation, within ten days after the
Legislature convenes. This not having
been done, there is a vacancy in this
district, Major Martin, the district
attorney, was here IN due time, and on
Monday morning the attorneys held
an informal meeting at the courthouse,
and they were universally Of the opin.
ion that Judge Fowler was not author
lied to hold court. About that time
Judge Fowler came, but declined to
hold court under the circumstances.
The sheriff opened and adjourned court
in accordance with the provisions of
the statute. This is great hardship
upon the county, Kaufman Star.

WASHINGTON.

WAsHTNaToN, March 26.-The Presi-
dent signed the Joint resolution making
an appropriation to delray the expense
OF the Joint Select Committee 10 INQUIRE
into the affairs ol the District Of
Columbia.
The House Committee Oh Apprspris-
tions today heard the statements of Su-
perVisiDg Architect Alullet in regard ia
deficiencies in the appropriations for re-
pairs ot furniture, and fuel for public
buildings throughout the country, and
agreed 10 insert in the deficiency
bill items amounting 10 about $l25 900
for these purposes. The Committee also
agreed TO the item of $4,000 to cover the
deficiency in the appropriations for the
Bureau of Statistics, and $4,000 for Pro.
lessor Hayden's geological survey of the
Yellowstone region. This latter def.
cheney has been caused by the departure
from The usual custom Of selling mules,
wagons, &c, at the end OF the seasons
wor (, It havingbeen thought advisable 10
retain them ior this years expedition.
Gen. Babcock was on the stand again
today In the Howard court of INQUIRY.
The principal portion of his TESTIMONY y
related to the Slate county fund. The
witness testified that vouchers therefor
were presented to the Auditing officer oil
the Treasury, who refused to receive
them on the ground that the money was
not q public fund but belonged 10 the
Government. Upon which the witness
filed the vouchers in his office, leaving
them in his desk when he was re.
lteved, from which time he has no
knowledge Of their whereabouts. Gen.
Babcock was also examined in regard TO
the retained fees Of suspended and un-
licensed Attorneys, regarding which he
testified that he had kept an &C.
count book Of them in his desk,
leaving that also when he was
relived from duty, and since which time
he had not seen It.
The Court to-day ruled that It's action
was an investigation and not prosecu-
tton, and also that the counsel of the &C.
cused shall have the privilege Of object.
ing to receive any testimony, the aues.
ton oi receiving it to be.atterwards con.
stdered and decided upon by the Court.

by appointing deac0neesee, but when II
attempts 10 touch upon the doctrines Of
faith, we had right to interpose. Il
was not q light matter they had 10 con.
slider. There was q disorganizing power
let loose In the Church, and It was ioI
this Council to Subdue 1t. 1t was cor
porate principle in Plymouth Church
which was dangerous Il new. We wish
that Church every success, but with the
doctrine OF the Church we could no!
hold, nor be In fellowship with. II our
neighbor insists In keeping bombs and
grenades In his cellar, and persists In
firing one of now and then, we insist that
he must strengthen the walls between US II,
and draw the line, brethren, and tell US
where the rule Of fellowship begins. We
were In the place where two seas met
but give us practical advice-we turn
to you. Here are two Churches that
could not be matched with Plymouth
Church Tor standing and wealth, but
nevertheless as old, and doing the same
good work, they have done no dishonor
70 the Fathers name. They have taken
their lot In this city, giving Of their time,
money and power, that they might bless
and build up this city. But do not think
you can cover the cases Of these Churches
by abstract propositions.
President Chaplin, OF Beloit, asked two
questions, substantially as follows !:
Whether the charges against member OF
Plymouth Church, who had been drop.
ped from the rolls, had been urged with
the assistance of other Churches
Whether, before the first action Of Plym.
outh Church had been made public, had
there been any correspondence between
the pastor oI Plymouth Church and the
pastors Of inviting Churches.
DR.. Storrs said the charge that inviting
Churches had caused disturbance In
Plymouth Church was absolutely false.
In regard TO the second question, DR.,
Storrs said he, personally, had felt that he
had had no right to have intercourse,
after what had occurred, with the pastor
OF Plymouth Church.
In replying to MIR. Rankin's question
concerning the 18th chapter Of Matthew,
Dr. Storrs made long address, seeking
to show that the precept there laid down
could not be utilized. he spoke of the
question before the Council as the most
important one that had excited the Con-
gregational Churches since Dr.. Shanninc
preached his Baltimore sermon. DE-
Storrs stated that the Standing Commit
tee in his Church had no power, because
such committee did not officially exist.
But there was an examining committee.
The committee that drew up the letter was
q special one, whose mission was ended
when the business for which it was an
pointed was concluded.
One OF the examining committee stated
that they were all a unit on the subject
and perfectly agreed with Rev. Ors
storrs and Buddington in all they had
said.
The Moderator stated that il was the
rule OF Ecclesiastical Councils that their
deliberations would be in private, closing
out both the press and public.
The question Of goingin private ses.
sion was then put TO a vote and carried
and the Council retired to a private room
to deliberate.

A number Of gentlemen really and

Meeting OF Council Tonight. The
Question Of Street Improvements.

The report Of the committee appointed
10 take into consideration the subject ol
paving Chapline, Sixteenth, Main and
Zane streets will be submitted to the City
Council this evening. The projected i'm
provement contemplsteS the putting oil
these four great thoroughfares Of the city
IN condition worthy Of their importance
IS the lines OF communication with the
largest portion ol the city and with the
country beyond our corporate limits.
They constitute the lines Of ingress and
egress for all the trade and traffic OF the
city. To put them in thorough repair Ia
10 relieve other streets from the wear and
tear Of very much oi the heavy hauling
now done on them, thereby lessening
materially the expense Of cleaning and
repairs.
An examination Ol the Street Com.
missloner's account will show that the
cost Of repairs upon the streets amonnt
to about fifteen thousand dollars per an
mum, nearly all of which expense Is due
10 the fact that the streets have never
been properly paved. Our whole system
Of paving Is bad, it Is mere surface work,
and owing to the spouty nature OF the
soil on some portions, and the general
action Of the winter frosts, every Sum.
mer brings the inevitable necessity tor
large and expensive repairs. The work
which should have been done thoroughly
and year by year, is at last, from absolute
necessity, precipltated upon the city
measurably in one lump.
q The question for the consideration of
the Council is whether II will or will not
rebound TO the best interests Of the city
to take in hand these four great lines and
expend upon them an amount Of money
which in the wisdom Of the Council after
thorough investigation Of facts may be
deemed sufficient 10 put them in con-
dition commensurate with their import
Snce to the city.
We cannot undertake at once to put all
the streets in the state ofrepalr which we
understand the action of the Council In
raising the present committee, to contem.
plate, and we would most respectfully
suggest TO the members tho propriety Of
laying aside any action contemplating
large or even considerable expenditures
upon other streets above what Is actual.
Iy necessary to preserve them from
serious damage.
