The low-tax, 'sshort" bond spec
ulators, who immortalized them
selves by fling bill to prevent the
State debt from being settled in ac~
cordance with the act of the Legis-
lature, sounded loud their trumpets
about the bribery and corruption
through which the bill was passed.
They procured an isiunction, from
narrow-minded, partisan judge,
which was dissolved and their
bill dismissed by Chancellor
Merritt. The next thing we behold
was the unprecedented act of parties
filing a bill, going into court and
arguing against the trial of their
case.
Perhaps they knew what was COM
ing out. Perhaps they knew that
their own folks had not only been
guilty of attempted bribery, but that
they had resorted to the most un-
principled acts to deprive mem-
bers Of the Legislature of
their votes. We do not
wonder that they shrunk from the
revelations which have come to light
within the past week. Decent men
would naturally shrink from having
the fact made known that they were
associated with worse than savages,
Who were willing to commit the COW
arlly crime Of poisoning a
man to keep him from voting
for measure to which they
were opposed, and in which
they had no interest save gamblers
interest. No proof has been made
that any member of the Legislature
accepted a bride, but there is abund-
ant evidence that a low tax ring was
gambling around the State capitol,
and that to win they were not only
ready for all sorts of bribery
and corruption, but they were
ready to violently abduct a
member of the Legislature
from the capitol or to administer
poisonous drugs, which would rem
der him unable for duty and perhaps
take his life. No wonder the men
who filed this bill charging bribery
and corruption, are not willing to
have the matter investigated upon
their own bill.

Special Dispatch to the Evening Post.
WASHINGTON, December 29.-It is
reported that Representative George
W. Jones (Gnbk., Tex.) has deter
mined within few days to make a
canvass in Texas as the candidate for
Governor of the Independents. Mr..
Jones has had the subject under
consideration for some time, but it is
only since he has been here in atten-
dance at Congress that he finally
made up his mind. He is said
10 have been convinced, after con
sultation with friends of the admin
istration, that his effort will be given
such encouragement as can
consistently be offered. Mr..
Jones expects to receive the sup~
port of the Republicans, the Green
hackers, and about one-third of the
Democrats, and he has impressed
Republicans here with the belief that
he will be able to combine these ele-
ments successfully. If he can he
will be elected.
Mr. Jones expects to make thor
ough canvass of the State. He says
that great dissatisfaction exists
throughout the State, which only
needs q we'll organized movement to
crystaliza into successful opposi-
ton to the ruling party.
Mr.. Jones influence in Congress is
said to be no measure of his infiu-
ence in his own State. There he is
held in very great esteem, and has
successfully conducted twice q can
yass as an Independent Greenback
Democrat, in one Of the largest and
strongest Democratic districts.

that tie House generally wishes the debate
to close, makes formal declaration to
that effect. The leader of the house or
some other member then moves that the
question be now put. No debate is allowed
and division is Immediately taken, when,
if the majority is in favor of closing the de-
bate At is closed accordingly, but upon the
condition that the number voting for the

and if the number voting against it be forty
or more, two hundred votes at least are re-
quired 10 carry it. If four hundred men,
bers are present, the closure may be carried
by majority of one.
