MEYERS, LAMOUR AND THE LIGHT.

Yesterday the editor of the LIGHT was in
Austin, and strolled up the Avenue as far as
the ruins of the Temporary capitol While
viewing its imposing 'front.' and specializing
upon its ruined rear walls, the stiffness and
quiet of the place was broken into by the APP
pearance of two distinguished looking gen.
tlemen..who came up and sighted the front
walls.
Meyers-'Just look along the line of that
WALL"
Lamour-"Yes; oh, yes" Glamour is
always very careful; if he has an opinion about
anything he always avoids expressing it).
LIGHr-''CeI tainly, blind man could see
what is the matter with that wall; it is out of
plumb"
Meyers-"Yes, couple Of inches. But
step this way"
And we followed the architect to the inte-
| rior of the ruins.
Meyers-':Look at that" pointing to the
wall on the north side, which was so out of
plumb that it looked like the work of some
botch stone mason that had not used line or
plumb in putting 1t up.
LIGHT-'That looks like one of our old
adobe walls, only they were built broad enough
to stand in spite of any irregrlsrity."
Lamour-' Eyes; Meyers don't appreciate
our thick walls"
Meyers-"The thick walls are just the ones
to contain the mischief; properly constructed
wall does not need to be made thick to stand"
| Lamour-"But look here" Stepping over
to the line of wooden pillars upon which i,
was intended to rest the weight of the halls
above. These pillsrs had actually sunk before
the roof or floors above were complete. Look
ing up, the ruins to the partially remaining
roof, presented dangerous appearance and
the west wall was cracked in the southwest
corner from the ground to the top; there did
not seem to be any attempt to bind these wall.
together.
Lamour-"Have you been up stairs!'
Meyers-"No, and don't want to 60 uE
there"
We left these distinguished architects dis
cussing this magnificent piece of democratic
jobbery that had brought its own exposure, in
time to save anything ike catastrophy.
We regard the falling of this building as
p~ovidential act, because its might have beer
made to stand until Wash. Jones had gone il
as governor, and amidst he rejoicing over thu
event, the whole pile might have fallen an'
crushed out the results of the peoples victory
AS it is, forewarned, forearlned, Col. Jone
and his new cabinet and legislature will re
) main at safe distance from this temporar,
capitol.

d, YES 1T Is
The New Court House is Well Built Says
the Expert Committee

The court house experts made the appended
report to County Judge F. G. Smith, yesterday
evening:
In response to the resolution passed by your
honorable body appointing MS rs experts TO cX-
anime in p;lrticlllar the lower partition wall,
and in general the entire construction OF the
new court house now in course of construction
on Sole,lad street, beg leave to report us lOl-
lows, viz:
We find the partition wall above referred to,
and as shown in the plan, To be composed OF ~
pieces 2N6 studding cross brdgcd twice, ana
containing 4XG solid posts, upon when rests
the gir,lcr supporting the centre OF second or
court room floor. This partition wall Is ~ feet
long by - feet high. After careful Gilcult-
| ton, we find that the partition wall in question
will not only carry the court room fOOr; when
loaded with people, to the fun extent of stand
ing room, but is capable of bearing more than
twice the burden just mentioned. Hence there
need be no fears of an accident from that
source. The front partition wall, running
trinsvcrscy. is similarly constructed.
Respecting the ventilation of The different
rooms, we find that the south side rooms are
| each provided with large window faclngs.
| ten feet wide alley ut present covered 10y d
thrce-StOry gallery. which latter being bounded
by u twO-StOry building on the south side, pre-
vents much light from entering the rooms ON
| this side. The specifications, however, calling
| for the removal of this gallery, and whitcwiish-
ing of the walls on either side of alley, there
will bc no lack of light after that part of the
| work is performed. The small alley left on the
| north side we consider a. conducive to the
| lighting and ventilation of that side, while the
small arrangements at the west side OF this
alley, which consist of Al chamber in the corner
| occurring i'll the front of the window in the
neighboring building and referred t." Inc grand
Jury, may be calculated to benefit said neigh
boring building only. 1t does not impair the
strength of the courthouse wall. The window
referred to in the northwest corner of the sec
ond story can be of no material benefit
to the building. This window, how
ever, as also the hast above
named item, does not appear on the plans of

Wiley Moore came up LOOKING for james
Wright. He wuS surrounded ana asked
what he wanted. He said he wanted
brcvcs James Wight returned that
il was no time to buy bccvcS. Moore was
taken to the corral and the witness was ordered
to watch him. Lopez was told to shoot the
prisoner if he attempted to leave. Jas. W righl
disarIned Moore. While the witness was guard
inr Moore Die Mccoy came up on horseback
ostcnsibly for the purpose of recovering pos,
session of some cattle which it is claimed had
been appropriated by Wright and the others
At that time James Wright was standing on ons
side of the corral gate, his brother on the 0ther
and the others were behind the cattle pen

A MASSACHUSETTS, SENATOR WHO NO-
TED FOR THE SOUTH.

Senator Hoar voted for the river and har-
Dor bill and it seems to be treasured up against
him. AT the recent Republican State Con-
yention at Worcester Mass. Mr.. Hoar was
chosen President, and amidst the applause
some one shouted. "He voted for the river
and barbor bill" Massachusetts has no riv-
ers that need to be improved hence for a
Massachusetts, senator to vote for a river and
harbor bill is considered quite a sin. But
Hoar made an able review of the progress of
the republican party and in the course Of his
speech said:
"There are still states in the south where
honest elections are unknown; but the access
sion of the great common~ ea'h of Virginia
to the ranks of these states, who, in the Ian
guage of her great leader, mean hereafter to
