''There is a general disposition to hold
SHERMAN responsible for the unhappy

By report of tho legislative COM
mittee on land frauds, it is said that
there is much more rascality yet to be
upearthed, and it is limited that there
will be revelations to this effect in very
unexpected quarters. There has been
land enough stolen by the land sharks
of Texas to form good sliced state,
but ten to one they will never be
properly punished when caught. Tul-
lis has short term in the penitentiary,
occupying the easy position Of physi-
oian, all for stealing thousands of
acres of land, while there are scores
of others around him serving from ten,
fifteen, to thirty years for stealing a
mustang pony or yearling. Ham,

that section, as demonstrated during
the present and past seasons, seems to
have convinced them that unless some
artful means can DO employed to in

Of the year. the stock interests of the

not entirely destroyed.
So speaks the Mckinney Enquirer.

WARRINGTON. a.ErTEH.
WASHINGTON, D. Oh
April q. 70.

Senator David Davis yesterday
made quite lengthy speech 10 favor
of the Army appropriation bill with
tho provision iu it iorbidding the use
of troops at the polls. Senator DAVIS
began his speech by asserting that he
had no allegiance to either party, but
was as emphatic as any Democrat in
his opposition to Federal armed inter
ference with elections. Senator Bay.
ard spoke che day before. monday
and as he always does, spoke admira'
bly,. Tho argument, in fact, has so
far been with the Democracy aud tho
defamation with the other side. Since
the crafty speech Of Garfield, which
opened the House debate on the Army
bill, no new ideas have been advanced
by the radical in support of Federal
interference, either through the Army
or the civil forces, with elections.
Garfield, by a cunning blending OF
facts, iusinuations, and threats, did oil
that could be done to create opposi-
ton to the programme agreed upon BY
tho Democrats. He exhausted the
ammunition Of his side.
Monday was the first unobstruo'ed
bill day" Of the session, and it was
improved by the presentation OF some
l,4OO bills. These embraced those the
last Congress failed to act on finally,
and many new ones. A large proper
ton related to the finances. REX.
