For.y-fIEth CoH2rcss.-.Thiru Session,
WASHINGTON, December 5, 1878.



Mr.. Matthews. in advocating the Texas.
Pacific railroad bill, said il should be passed
as a matter OF justice to the southern States.
He believed if the bill became law its benc-
fetal influence would not be felt in the South
alone, but throughout the whole country.
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Matthews's re.
marks the bill resumed its place upon the
calendar. r....
Mr.. Conover presented resolution to in
yestigate the cause OF the omission In the
bill OF last session relating to the Hot
Springs OF Arkansas. Agreed 10.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The House passed the Military Academy
bill and the Notifications appropriation bill
with very little debate. There was no
amendment to the latter, and it is identical
with the bill OF last year. This passing OF
two general appropriation bills on the sec
ond day Of the session is unprecedented III
the history OF the House.
NIr. Rainey introduced bill in relation
to election frauds. 1t imposes fine not
exceeding $1,000, and imprisonment not
exceeding two years, for using tissue bal
lots, or other than one printed on plain
white paper, and provides that any ballot
found in u box with distinguishing mark
shall not be counted, under like penalty.
Similar penalties are imposed for interfering
with, intimidating, or preventing voters
from casting their ballots. All ballots
found folded together are to be thrown out
and not counted.

SCHOOL LANDS.

Comptroller Darden, in his
Austin speech, suggests the sale
by the State of her school
lands. some 100000 of acres,
which are now bringing in no
revenue. The present revenue
of the State for school purpo-
ses is wholly insufficient for
comprehensive system of pub
lie schools. Mr.. James B. Simp-
son, of Dallas, writes letter to
the Herald in which he SAYS
that it world be much better for
the State to dispose of her
lands; he thinks thatif properly
put on the market, these lands
would realize $4,000, 900, the
interest on which would make a
permanent, and for some years
to come, munihcent school
fund. In addition to this it is
suggested that the sale of these
lands would add the amount
they brought to the taxable prop
erty in the State. The people of
Texas will never need this fund
more than they do now. Pos
terity will be richer than this
generation and it is not deemed
Just that such vast extent of
the public domain of the State
should be locked up for their
exclusive benefit. Were this
plan fully carried out taxation
could be reduced by the amount
now levied for school purposes.
The occupation tax is regarded
as exceedingly onerous and
should if possible be abolished
and some other means devised
of raising the revenue now de-
rived from it. The poll tax. one
that should be paid is not collect
ed, and under existing laws can
not be unless the parties own
property subject to an ad valo-
rum tax. The poll tax could be
collected by allowing no man to
vote unless he exhibited his
poll tax receipt. The votes of
those who are unwilling or una
bic to pay their poll tax could
be readily dispensed with with
out any public detriment. All
these matters will have to be
considered by the next legisla-
ture.
