Department Notes

The acknowledgement is in receipt of q
letter from Hon. Lew Wallace, governor
of New Mexico. asking for Information
regarding the organization and manage
ment of the frontier force OF Texas. He
eontemplates organizing a similar force
to operate on the border of that terri
tory.
The following is from the comptroller
| department and shows the amount OF
available university fund to be used In
the erection of buildings:
AUSTIN, August 30, 1881.
Mr.. A. j. Peeler. Austin, Texas.
SIR Il have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter of this date in
which you ask:
1. "What is the amount of available
university fund in the state treasury sub
erection of buildings and support of the
| university
In determining this amount there are
several questions to be considered in re-
| laIiOn to whether the interest on notes
given as purchase money for university
lands belongs to the available or the per-
manent fund of the university. lam not
prepared to determine this question now,
and can not therefore answer at present.
For construction heretofore given to the
law by this department, you are referred
to the report of the late comptroller for
year ending August 81. 1880.
Further you ask:
.. "What amount is due of available
fund for which the legislature can make
appropriation, not including the nrst
itemp'
Texas state bonds to the amount of
1854 ,472 .26 issued in 1866, bearing five per
cent. interest, ARE held by the treasurer to
the credit of the university fund. These
10 finn tn hn mi
versity fund the above amountwhich was
borrowed from it in 1860. The form of
the funds used belonging to the univer-
sity was United States bonds and ac-
crued interest thereon. A part of the
S134 ,472.26 represented by the Texas
bonds was interest which had accrued on
the United States bonds up to 1860, and
was therefore available university fund
at that time.
available fund included in the S134 ,472.2 6
will require considerable investigation,
and, at present, can not answer on this
point besides, the provisions of the con
stitution of 1876, in relation to this prop
erty, must be considered, as to whether
their effect is to set aside this entire debt
to the permanent fund or not.
The actual interest to August 31st,
1881, on the S134, 472.26, which, when ap-
propriated by the legislature, will be-
long TO the available university fund, is
S9S, Gl7.OO. No appropriation has been
made for the interest on the Texas bonds
referred TO, and they are now due nor
has any provision been made for sink
ing fund to pay the principal of the
bonds. Until the legislature recognizes
this debt, and makes an appropriation for
the payment of the interest due, ques-
ton must exist as to what is the availa-
BILE fund from this source; and, until
some definite settlement of the amount of
the principal due on the bonds shall be
made, the actual amount of the unlver-
sity fund must remain as doubtful.

WASHINGTON, d. c., September
6.-The crowd was very quiet and
orderly during the transfer of the
president from the conveyance.
LAMAKIN, Pa, 1925 A. M The presi-
mington to LamakIn, fourteen miles, in
fourteen minutes and then stopped for
coal.
AT precisely $40 A. M, the president
was carried from the sick room to the ex-
press wagon which had been backed up
TO the steps of the front portico by Drs.
Bliss, Reyburn and Boynton, General
and Messrs Rockwell and Warren, who
remained with the party during his re-
moval to the depot. He was reclining in
a pleasant position on the bed upon
which for 30 many weeks he has been suf-
fering and fighting for life. His
right hand was laid on his breast while
his left arm was stretched full length
upon the coverlid. His high forehead
was coveredb lime cloth, and his fea-
lures, though emaciated, were patient
and resigned. A platform had been
erected from the p0rtico to the wagon,
andacross this the bed was tenderly and
carefully carried and deposited In the
wagon. There was no mishap whatever
in the transit, and when the horses were
hitched to the vehicle and started at $50
for the depot feeling of relief took pos
session ofthe bystanders, for in the opin-
ion of many the most dangerous part of
the journey had been accomplished. The
conveyance was preceded TO the depot
by carriages conveying the remainder
of the party which was to accompany the
president to Long Branch. As the express
wagon moved away from the executive
mansion the president feebly but cheer
fully lifted his left hand and waived fare
well TO the inmates OF the house who had
assembled on the porch 10 bid him God
speed In his journey. The wagon was
then already driven through the grounds
of the mansion and driven through Penn
sylyania Avenue to the Baltimore and
Potomac depot, the horses at no time
being driven faster than walk. At the

they cau't run q paper without it;
but we'll show EN-.

we're going 10 make such lots or
money; we won't spend it all for beer

we'll be benevolent and do good with
