WASHINGTON, March 4.-The bill

not in proper shape for the signatures
of the Speaker and Vice. President.
The old Senators say the vote to table

the presiding officers of the House,

ANOTHER REBEL MAJOR GENERAL.

ANOTMER REBEL MAJOR GENERAL.
An item is travelling around in the
kilograms that "Mora,' "Mason," !"
"Marcy," ETC., has had his credentials
presented as Senator from Texas. His
true name is S. B. Maxey, and he is a
resident Of Austin, who was elected a
year ago over Throckmonton, an able
man, but one who was semi.loyal to
tho Union flag during the war.
It 10 not remarkable that tho tele.
graph and newspaper people should
bo laundering as to his name, because
his fame and reputation are strictly
local. But the people of Texas know
their man. They know how 10 spell
his name and to vote for him, because
he won Major Generals double stars
In leading the Texas Rangers during
the late struggle.
They may occasionally blunder in
their craftsmanship in the South as to
non essentials, but they never make
any mistakes as to sending their rep
rescntativcs to Congress. According
to Harpcr's Weckly they have already
returned liz men to Congress who
held commissions in the Confederate
army, and directly, at the rate thoy arc
going they will have majority there.
Major-General Maxcy succeeds Flan-
nagan, and he may be relied upon in
tho future to put tho Confederate
credit and the lost cause where the
public credit and the loyal cause now
stand.

sOLDERs, ROUNTY BILi,

The bill 10 equalize bounties to sol-
diers was amended in the Senate so as
to provide that in case therc was de-
ficiency in the treasury to pay the
bounties that the government borrow
to supply such deficiency. This
amendment was proposed by Senator
Edmunds, OF Vermont, and he evil
IDENTIFY did so to defeat the measure as
upon its passage, he is found voting
against it. Senator Logan stated that
it would not require an expenditure OF
over $50, 100000. Senator Wright, of
this State, voted for it, and Senator
Allison against it. The bill will have
to go to the House for concurrence.
All the chaps who have been in the
rebel army and in Office under the
Confederacy who now occupy seats in
the United States Senate voted against
the bounty bill as a matter of course.
They voted against itnot because they
had doubt as to the policy of incurring
this extraordinary expense at this time
but because they had no relish for pay.
