MRS. MoHL DISCUSSES sUNDRY TOPICS IN
TEREsTING TO TEXAS READERS, WITH A
SPICE OF GENERAL GOSSIP.
Special Cor. Of tie Eraminer.
WASHINGTON, May 2.-All Washing
ton turns out to attend circusses. Yes
terdRy the tent was packed at both per-
| tormances with representatives of every
stratum OF society from senate to slum
You Will see, d ar reader, that / have
| placed the senate at the top of the list,
thus once for all committing myself to
one side OF question which has for
nearly century shaken Washington So
ciety to its very centre,v viz (which shall
rank the other, a senator's wife or a cab
met oflicers?"
Senators wives have been known to
leave a house on the very eve of dinner,
because a cabinet officers wife was taken
in before her; and a secretary's wife has
because preceded by a senator's wife
gone to the dressing room instead of the
supper room, at party, donned her
wraps in high dudgeon and been taken
home in a white heat of rage.
ATExAs SENATOR'S WIFE.
Appropos of senator's wives, Mrs.
Maxey left for home yesterday evening,
| Everybody admires and loves Mrs.
Maxey who knows her, She is a thor
Ough southern lady, gentle and dignified
| IN manner, intelligent and entertaining
| IN conversation, and living out in her
daily intercourse the sweet and loving
doctrines of her faith. Yet she has Il
spirit of her own, too, as any one can
soon discover who says or do anything
~ hn, l,,gI,D,l IL :, l.,
with most of us, ] think, and highly
commendabe it is too.
THE MILLS AND wELLBoRN LovE-FEAST.
Gen. Maxey told Mr. Mohl something
about Col. Mills which makes me ad-
mlre the representative from my dis
t1ct more than ever. When he-Col.
Mills, learned that his county, Navarro,
was put IN the same district with Dallas,
he went at once to Col. Wellborn and
told him what he had heard and said:
'lf this is true Wellborn,I will support
yOu In the convention and in the can
vass with all my might. [ shall in ne
case be your opponent, but you may
rely on whatever influence | possess as
entirely yours" You may imagine how
words like these, from a man who means
what he says, would affect a heart full of
warm and generous impulses, like Well
bOrn's. He could not speak but could
only wiring the .hand held out to him in
such frank and manly fashion by his no.
bic senior, and stammer out his thanks.
BUGLE BLAST FOR ROGER.
Now Ih~ven't seen the apportionment
bill rs finally passed, but [ have heard
1t was so amended as to put Navarro
out Of Wellborn's district. Should this
not be SO, | shall have to add to my
slate the name of r. Q. Mills for Gov
ernor. Not that | am opposed to the
"old alcalde,' but abominate the third
term doctrine except in congressional
and Legislative affairs. In the latter in
stances one term is a necessary prepara-
ton for the next, and the longer man
is kept in congressithe more efficient
he becomes if he was a good man to
begin with.
WASH JONES A CANDIDATE.
The Hon. Jones says he means to run
for Governor of Texas and to be elected.
He seems quite confident of success,
counting probably on federal patron
age" which, however he says he does
not have the distribution of at present.
PARTIzAN DEBATES
Every session of congress for years
passed has witnessed one or more eff
forts to repeal the last two remnants of
what is called war legislation" from our
laws, viz: the ''iron-clad oath" used only
for loyal officers, and section Is of the
revised statutes, which reads thus:
mo person who, has served in any ca
pacity IN the military, naval or civil ser
vice III the sO-called Confederate States,
or of either of the states III insurrection
during the late rebellion, shall be ap-
pointed to any position III the army Of
the United States"
Every session since '67 has seen spe-
cial legislation to lift this burden from
some individual, generally with success.
Yet whenever an attempt is made to re-
peal 1t, the republicans resist it. 1t
came up again last Thursday and caused
some lively passages between Edmunds.
Garland, Hampton, Vest, Maxey and
Harrison, of Ohio, the first and last men
toned being opposed to the removal Of
what Edmunds calls "an everlasting
monument that there was a right and
wrong of it." Senator Maxcy immedi-
ately followed Edmunds in a short
speech full OF brave, good words, fifty
spoken, in which he handled the dis
hngulshed Vermonter without gloves.
CONCERNING DAVID DAVIS.
Davis, of Illinois,-"pro tempore," as
he Is now called-is queer sort of
man. A lady-one of his constituents
became uneasy about her position and
went to see him about it. His second
wife was then alive and both received
the distressed woman very kindly.
promised to use all their Influence for
her,and finally, when she arose to leave.
the old senator patted her kind on the
head with his enormous hand and said:
Now don't you be uneasy, child; you
Just keep all your clothes on; it'll be all
right" Senator Davis Is now widower
for the second time and immensely
wealthy, but most ungainly, homely, |
ungraceful mass of obesity.
Personal AND EXPLANATORY.
The Bolton Journal will please re-
ceive my thanks for kind words, but it is |
mistaken as to my having government /
position | have no other employment |
than that of sc!ibbler, being so fortu- |
nate as to have a husband who takes
care of me, and civil service laws for |
bidding husband and wife holding offic, |
at the same time, unless they are extra !
good republicans-which neither of us !
is. Now don't make a pural verb of |
is, if you please Mr.. Proof Reader. be- |
cause it has to harmonise with neither, |
and not with MS.
Senator Pendleton is still spoken of as
APROBABLE PRESIDENT.
Should he be elected the |
white house will once more be pre-
sided over by an elegant and refined
family, who understand how to dispense
IN its most charming form.
His family consists of wife, a daugh-
ter of Francis Key, author of the Star
Spangled Banner" two daughters,
Misses Mary and Jennie Pendleton, and
one son. Miss Pendleton Mary is be-
trothed to Mr.. Donaldson, but Jennie
is still ''in maiden meditation, fancy
free" or supposed to be. Among other
graceful accomplishments, one of these
young ladies play on the harp and an
other paints in water colors, talents in
herited believe from the mother. In
