AUSTIN, April 10th, 1SS2-There have
been any number of efforts made ut getting
up Apportionment, tables, and here and
there before the morning hour in the two
houses, at the hotels and elsewhere, you
may see little knots of men bending over
and calmly or cxcitedly discussing the Re-
districting problem. They remind one of
the time and the sights so very general when
the Is, Ia, puzzles were in vogue. This man
has to be provided for, and that mans friend
has to be taken care of, round man is to
be fitted in square hotel and u two-bits

Now look at our proposed district. Here is
Navarro county linked with Dallas. Ma
yarro is the home of Mr., Mills. Dallas is
the home of Mr.. Wellborn Both these
gentlemen are most excellent members in
congress, and warm personal friends.
WHY ANrAGoNIzE TuEM7
Why throw one of them out Of position
j am satisfied that, In contest, the Hon.
Oin Wellborn would be the victor and go
back TO his seat for the next congressional
term. The rule ought to be that an ar
Management should be effected whereby
delegation we of the Lone Star state are
now so proud of should be returned,
other things being equal. Again
observe the district apportioned
for this and other counties
IL runs from Bexar TO III Paso, and like tho
net of the coquette, claims all the fish
that come within the limits of its sweep -
Tarrant county, it would seem, does not
wish to come within the sweep for Dallas.
BY extending westward the gentleman
nom Weatheriord would have his chances
vastly improved toward congressional
glory. Nor do | fancy that Ex-Governor
Throckmorton would irown at the arrange.
nent us proposed for the fifth district. We
also thlnk OF some ambitious gentlemen in
The BeyNr and Travis district, so theI> may
be trouble here Elsewhere We have in
Harris conflict of interests ~ between
Charlie Stewart and Mr.. Hutchinson. Tho
former would like To have the upper Coun-
ties tackled on to Harris; the latter
prefers to reach out in another direction.
So, too, with Finay, of Galveston, the tall
Joh'i ulii uTNloI lrOm lnc southwest, he
would like a shoestring district strung ont
from the Island City to his former home

now In the hands of Lieutenant. Governor
Storey, but | have not been able To see il.
RAILROAD LEGISLATION.
Very little thus far has uvyrlnpcd in the
matter OF railway legisalion one feeling,
however, find quite prevalent, and that is
that passenger fare shall Ice reduced TO 3
cents per mile; and also that the roads shall
be maintained In bedway and ears etc In
good and thoroughly sale condition Tor rae.
sengers Among nearly all tho mcmbu,s
there Is an evident disposition to have IA
commission similar to that In other states,
but among the more conserva.
tive there prevails an iden
that the present Is not tho legislative
: body,to frame fair, equitable bill that will
be alike Just to railroad companies and tho
people.
THE BLIND ASYLUM SCANDAL,
DIR. Rainey, superintendent Of the blind
asylum, Is much incensed ut the reflections
made against his institution by the San
