HOUSE
Labatt rose to a question Of privilege, the
effect of which was denial that
Hutcheson's remarks yesterday 'And
mark you that you are not too virtuous TO
betray your people," could not be address
ed to him.. He was not i'll his seat, but outside
the bar when it was made. Labatt
when at his desk is not always visible to
the reporters, and the statement that the
remark was addressed to him WIS promised
on the fact that Hutchinson, in delivering
it, pointed his right hand in the direction
of Labat!'s desk. Hutcheson,
your reporter shis evening that although
this attitude would seem to Indicate the
application of the remark to Labatt, it
was intended to Apply equally, with HIM.
TO all the members who had
shared the sentiment that The peo-
ole are not the masters, that
the people do not rule, and that the rail
roads are their equals.-[ REPORTER.
The senate committee bill on state sem
atorial and representative apportionment,
with the house committees amendment,
was taken up and adopted.
Paddock offered an amendment divorcing
Tarrant from Dallas and Rockwell. He as
serted there was not u unity OF interests be-
tween Tarrant and those of the
other counties in anything that
obtains in commerce or morals; il seemed
TO him that the rule laid down in the con-
stitution has been strictly adhered to; in
making this apportiOnment of the congress
sional districts, it has been carried out with
ont regard to the commercial relations
Of the people, and in the senatorial
districts without regard to population, one
district having 25UUO aud another OO,OOO
people, made without regard to the har-
mony of the interests of the people. Jndg-
ing from the past he felt justified in saying
that Dallas had men perfectly willing To
represent the Deity in the event
there was vacancy. 1t was
not political consideration that
iluenced his Paddock's) opposition; fer
rarrant has as many delegates to the polit.
zeal conventions as Dallas.
Daniels-What antdgonism is there be-
tween Dallas and Tarrant?
Pdddock-A commercial, social and moral
antafonism.
Paddock in conclusion, said that he was
in receipt OF letters and kilograms asking
that Tarrant be divorced from Dallas.
This effort was not confined to Fort Worth,
but came from farmers all over Tarrant
county. In the words of his friend from
kaufman, (Woods,) he would say it was con
trary 10 the most solemnly dedicsted preju-
die IS OF Dallas and Tarrant to put them IN
the same districts.
Nash took the position that the surplus
population of Dallas and Rockwell was not
sufficient to float representative. ROCK wall
has not representative under tue appOr-
tionment, and if il is not tioated with Dal
las and Tarrant, the whole bill will be dis.r-
ranged He undertook to say that a Heater
elected from Dallas would represent Tar
rant as faithfully as one from the latter
county,
Tabled on motion Of Mr.. Nash.
