WASHINGTON. May 1O.-The Texas and Pacific
people were a good deal excited to-day over an
amendment to the rules reported from the Commit
tee on Rules by General Garfield. The nature and
effect Of this amendment were explained III dis
patch to The TRIBUNE several days ago.
The Texas and Pacific people declare that
the amendment which requires Senate bills making
appropriations of money, land or property of the
United States to be first considered in Committee Of
the Whole on the State of the Union, viii not be
adopted. They say that the objection will not
be based so much upon the effect of the amend
ment upon the Texas aud Pacific and Northern
Pacific Railroad Bills az upon its effect upon other
measures, upon all other measures making appro-
priations of any kind. Pensioners and honest
claimants, they declare will be prevented by it
from receiving their just dues. The indications
are that the whole Texas and Pacific interest will
make united and earnest opposition against the
adoption of this amendment and II is impossible to
predict what its fate will be.

% bo mentioned in the House to bring half dozen
nomocrats to their feet and to start discussion
which generally continues for hours
This afternoon almost the entire session was spent
~ tbe debate of a bill to pay loyal Vlrglnlan
Cor some rails taken and used by the Fed
oral Army during the war; Ihs was uh-
admittedly a deserving case, the loyalty OF the
claimant having been cCnclusivey proved ana no
estion being raised Gs to the honesty OF his clam;
Int the House did not discuss the merits of the DILL
ho General tonic only was debated. There were Grim
nations and recriminations on each slde each party
accusing the other of being responsible for the pay

defend lis position and make it appear that it alone
is the watchdog of the Treasury.
In the course of the debate reference was made to
the william and Mary College Bill, which was car
ried over to-day, and which Mr.. Goode announced
n was not his intention to call up again this scs-

of the claims of disloyal persons, nor for those OF
loya claimants, believing that the majority OF the
latter are dishonest.
General Harry White during the debate this after
noon worked himself into fever OF excitement
over the sufferings of loyal citizens OF the South
during the war. He is excusable for exhibiting
some feeling on this subject, since he knows
from experience what the horrors of the Southern
prisons were, and the sufferings which -etugees,
