Decision Arrived at by IA strict Party
NOtc-The Commission Hold Session
in the Sick Chamber OF Mr.. Thurman.
The commission reassembled in
secret session at 1880, and remained
in consultation on the Oregon case four
and half hours.
At three o'clock, the discussion be-
ing concluded, and Senator Thurman
not being able to attend the sitting on
account Of illness, recess was taken,
in order to ascertain whether he would
prefer coming to the capitol, or the
commission should proceed to his resi-
dence and there transact business.
A committee, consisting of Senators
Bayard and Frelinghuysen, WAS ap-
pointed for this purpose, and reported
in due time that Senator Thurman
preferred to receive the commission at
his house. At 4 o'clock, therefore, the
other members OF the commission pro-
ceeded in carriages to Senator Thur
mans residence. Senator Thurman
was found confined to his bed, where
he remained during the proceedings of
the commission.
The commission was formally called
to order by Justice Clifford, and vote
was taken on the following PROPOSE
tons which had been informally sub
mitted and discussed, but not voted
upon, during the days session:
BY Mr.. Edmunds:
Resolved, That the certificate signed
by h. a. Cronin, j. N. Il. Miller and
John Parker, purporting to cast the
electoral vote of the State of Oregon,
does not contain or certify the consti-
tutional votes to which the State Is en-
titled.
Justice Field offered the following as
asubstitute

NOTES AND GOSSIP.

Tn" Democrats Determined 10 Secure
Nichols.
WASHINGTON, February 23.-The
House Louisiana committee have
agreed to report Il hill recognizing the
Nichols government for that State.
1t is determined by the Democratic
House, beyond doubt, to hamper the
army appropriation bill with provi-
sious that can only be removed by the
recognition of Hampton and Nichols.
To-day is big with events, but affairs
have 80 shaped themselves that the
best interests of the South cannot be
seriously all cted.
A disagrceable feeling prevailed in
political circles this morning, the Re-
publicans, on one side, being in doubt
~ to the action of Just ces Strong and
Bradley, and the irrecOncilable Demo-
Gratis, on the other hand, finding that
they cannot tllibuster sufficiently long
to defeat result before the fourth Of
March, Mr.. Randall's rulings making
the ordinary parliamentary tactics of
calling the yeas and nays Intellectual.
At an informal meeting at Speaker
Randall's house, it was agreed that the
army should consist OF seventeen thou
sand men, with proviso that the
troops should not be used IN support of
either party governments of Louisiana
or South Carolina.
Senator John Sherman is with Hayes
at Columbus. The resignation of
Sherman, to be followed by Hayes
election to the United States Senate
from Ohio, and his (Hayes) subse'
quent elevation to the Presidency OF
the Senate, and thence to the chief
msgistracy of the nation, were dis.
cussed here, if not at Columbus by
Hayes and Sherman.
J. p. Kennedy, of Louisiana, was
under ross.eXamination this morn
ing before the privileges and powers
committee. He acted with the Packard
Legislature; then went over to the
Nichols Legislature; didn't solicit
from Packard, Kellogg, or any one
else, support for the United States
Senate; offered money to no one; may
have said to some of the Packard Leg
islature that they would get mileage
from Nichols, because Nichols had
money and Packard had none.
The commission proceeded to the
residence OF Senator Thurman, and
there adopted, by the strict party vote
of eight against seven, resolution
offered by Senator Morton, deciding
that the votes Of w. Ii. Odell, John G..
Cartwright and John w. Watts, the
Hayes and Wheeler electors for Ore
gon, should be counted,
The commission previously voted on
the question of admissability of
Cronin's vote and rejected 1t unani-
mously.
The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1877-02-24

was adverse to the Democrats. The
Republicans insisted on vote being
taken by years and nays, which re,
sulted-yeas 1870, nays 100.
The following Democrats voted
against recess: Messrs. Beebe, Bell,
Campbell, Cutter, Goodin, Harden.
Ourgh, Raymond, Holman, Keller,
Landers of Connecticut, Lemaine,
horgan, New of Pennsylvania, Ste-
vensoD, Warner, Wells of Missouri,
and Whitehouse.
A Democratic caucus was announced
to take place Immediately.
The senate passed bills to remove
the political disabilities OF Henry B..
Kelly, w. T. Darlington and Sam ID.
Turner of Virginia; II. G. Gattlin, of
Arkansas; VIM. Butler and Wade H..
Gibbs, OF South Carolina; w. II. Jones
and II 5 Kinney, OF Texas.
A lively discussion followed the ar
rangement OF Jordon for contempt.
AT the close of the discussion Jordan
stated he was willing to appear before
the commission and testify, and the
senate then adopted resolution dis
charging Jordan from contempt, upon
his appearance before the commission
to testify,
An amendment of the committee
increasing the appropriation to three
millions three hundred thousand dol.
lars, and striking out the provision
in the House bill, was agreed to.
The amendments of the committee
were agreed to as follows: Increasing
the appropriation for the bureau OF
steam engineering, from 100000 to
S2,OOO,OOO, making $jO0,000 appropria-
ted. For bureau of construction, $780,
600 of the amount appropriated for
the bureau of steam engineering,
available at once, to complete the
work on hand.
The committee on appropriations re.
ported an amendment to strike out OF
the House bill, clause providing for
the creation OF Il commission OF nine
members to examine into the present
condition Of the navy, etc. Agreed to.
The bill was then reported to the
Senate, and the question being on con.
curing In the amendments made in
the committee of whole, it was laid
aside for time being.
MIR. Oglesby called up the House
bill, granting to the City of Stevens
Point, Wisconsin, certain piece of
land. Passed.
The bill was then read the third
time and passed. The Senate then re-
sumed the consideration of the bill to
create sinking fund for the liquida-
ton of the Indebtedness due the Gov
eminent by the Pacific railroad COM
panies, but it was laid aside inform

The stonswal Greys and Lamar Rides
Escort tho Centennial Hammer
Through the. Town.
Yesterday afternoon, according to
instructions from the flag commission,
the two military companies assembled
at their respective armories. AT four
o'clock they marched to the corner Of
Main and Austin streets, and the
procession was formed The Stone
wall Greys, commanded by Colonel
Bower, headed by the band, In advance,
while behind came the banner won
by Georgia.
AGUARD OF HONOR
was detailed, of two men from each
companyto carry 1t, and behind them
came the Lamar Rifles. Colonel Eblin
commanding Both companies were in
splendid trim, and their evolutions
added much to the occasion. An Inn
mense crowd gathered in the streets,
curious to see the banner, of which 80
much has been said and written. For
the benefit of our readers who have
not seen it, we will give description
of Ii.
THE BANNER
Is six feet by eight, and constructed OF
the richest silk, scarlet and blue. In
the center Of the front, the blue side,
is the coat of arms of the State Of
Texas, surmounted by magnificent
national bird below the arms, thir-
teen gold stars, representing the origi.
nal thirteen States, and the inscrip-
ton, Centennial Democratic Banner.n
In the right hand upper corner are che
arms of the State of Georgia, and the
words, "Won by Georgia, 1867 The
other side is of scarlet silk; in tho
center large oval and an Amercln
flag, surmounted by liberty cap. The
flag is upheld by a single hand. 1t ia
bordered with very heavy gold fringe
aud gold cord and tassels. The frame
is made in the shape OF u litter, having
four handles, and il eight foot square.
This enables the men who carry it TO
put 1t on their shoulders, or carry it IN
their hands, as they see Git. From
the center of this framework or litter
two upright standards are placed, with
a horizontal bar across the top, and to
this bar the banner is suspended and
fastened by heavy blue silk bands.
Elegant scroll work surmounts the
cross. piece, and on the summit Of all
perches gold eagle.
THE ROUTE
was first to Commerce street, then
west to and around the Courthouse
square, then east on Main street TO
city hall, then north to Elm street,
and then west to Jefferson, and back
on Main street to the LeGrand hotel.
All along the line OF march the crowd
was immense, ladies filling the VIM
vows ana balconies waving tnelr
handkerchief, while those In the
streets cheered the banner as 1t passed.
The flag was then deposited in the Ex-
change bank, and will be shipped at
once to Georgia, where 1t will remain
until four years rolls around, and then
Texas intends to win 1t back. Dallas
need not be ashamed to send this
beautiful token. 1t is elegant In de-
sign and finish, and we are certain the
people OF Georgia will cherish AMI
protect 1t with the greatest care. To
the gentlemen who got it up great
credit is due for their energy in push
ing the matter to successful comple-
ton.
