From the Capitol.

The Second Auditor, General Rog-
ers, 10 communication to the Gener-
al Assembly made the announcement
that s35. 900 in coupon bonds had been
distracted from the Treasurer's Office
and funded the second time. -.
Some of the readiusters are very plain
spoken in regard to the Capitol offices.
They say that a new corps Of officers
would be preferable to the old set. The
leaders, however, are very quiet, and
when questioned on this subject have
very little to say. .........
In the House to-day Mr.. McCaull
presented resolution providing for the
election of State officers next Tuesday,
and IN support of his resolution said
that he desired this matter to be settled
at an early day as possible, in order to
get rid of being annoyed by the candi-
dates for the various Offices.
For superintendent of public printing
the only candidates spoken of are Maj.
r. F. Walker, the present incumbent,
and Capt. Richard E. Frayser, former
ly business manager Of the Wing.
For superintendent of the penlten-
t,ary Col. Samuel Swami will be oppos-
ed by Gen. r. Lindsay Walker.
The penitentiary storekeeper, n. c.
Taliaferro will have Mr.. Lewis Wagner
as an opponent for his position

RESTORING REyoLUTIoEARY PEN.
sIoNERs TO THE RoLLs.--The commit
tee on revolutionary pensions of the
House Representatives is preparing
a bill to restore to the pension rolls the
names ofall persons which were strick-
en- off by the act Of February, 1862, and
the joint resolution passed BY Congress
in March, 1857. The act Of 1862 drop
ped from the rollal persons who had
taken up arms against the government
or had encouraged and aided the
Confederacy. The joint resolution
Of 1867 dropped from the pension rolls
all persons not known to have been op-
posed to the rebellion and in favor oil
Its suppression. This resolution requir.
ed the pensioner to furnish proofs of his
own loyalty, sometimes difficult mat
ter for even staunch Unionist to do.
Under the existing law pensioners are
required to give proof of sixty days ac-
tual service before pension is granted.
The new bill will only require proof of
ten days service. This reduction of
the time ofservice is justified by the
very few, revolutionary pensioners in
existence. The present law requires
proof Of marriage not later than 1925.
rbe aew bill extends the time to 1880.

The FL PAse War.

GALVESTON, Dec. 15.-Special dis
patches to the News reports that the
Ell Paso troubles have broken out anew
and fighting between State troops and
Mexicans has been going on for two
days. The following dispatch has been
received by the Governor from the
sheriff of Ell Paso county:
"Theie was fighting all day at San
ElHario between State troops and
MeXicans from both sides of the river:
CHAs. KERBER."
The Governor sent the following dis
patch to President Hayes:
II am officially informed that citizens
of Mexico, IN connection with citizens
of FL Paso county, Texas, Of Mexican
birth, we're fighting all day in Texas
with detachment Of State troops who
were aiding our civil authorities. The
Mexican force being too strong to be re-
PEELED by Texas troops, and it being
Impossible to raise civil posse from
the citizens, who are nearly all of
Mexican blood and sympathy. and
having no reinIorcements within sew
eral hundred miles. ask the aid of such
United States troops as may be nearest
to the scene Of action to repel this in
vasion of our territory. l have the
honor to be your obedient servant.
''R. 3. HUBBARD,
Governor OF Texas"
The latest dispatches from Ell Paso
report that five rangers and a merchant.
named Ellis, were killed by Mexicans.
The State troops are entrenched and
San Elizario is surrounded by mob of
several hundred Mexicans from both
sides Of the river. The Governor has
telegraphed orders to recruit men from
the nearest points in Texas and New
Mexico to aid the State troops.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Is, 1877.
Renewed interest having attached
itself to the Mexican question by reason
of these recent dispatches relating to
troubles in Ell ?aso county, Texas, it
may be mentioned that the admins
tration has been given careful attention
to every report, official and otherwise,
bearing upon the situation of affairs on
the Rio Grande, and deep scrutiny,
aided by reports from trustworthy
sources, does not present the condition
of things in that section in a shape
which should cause any serious appre-
hension Of international complications.
In answer to earnest applications
from citizens of Texas for force. to
protect them from Mexican raiders, the
War Department has, it is already
know, ordered an imposing force Of
cavalry, artillery and infantry to the
border This is a peace measure
altogether.

Tenn, Dec. I'm
submitting TO the Legislature correspon-
dence from parties representing a very
large number Of Tennessee bonds. ex-
presslng'a Willingness TO take fifty cents
on compromise Of the State debt,
Gov. Porter concludes his message as
follows: Il appeal to the General
Assembly to rescue the State from its
peril, and to preserve something Of its
credit. The people Of Tennessee are
not prepared to learn the full lesson of
reputation. They are still sensible of
the responsibility resting upon them of
maintaining the good name impressed
upon the State by so many Of her sons.
The time has been when the pestige of
Tennessee and the high standard of
her commercial credit made all of her
sons proud Of their nativity. Do not
letus turn our backs npen this honora-
bic history.'' 7-'--- ----..- -
