Bad colds are universal, and there are
many cases of pneumonia in the city.
The StocKmen's State association con-
yenes next month, and will promulgate GER
tain views relative to the disposal of public
lands, that prevail among stockmen.
Land men are supposed to affect sublime
Indifference at the withdrawal of public
lands from market, but behind it there is
evident disappointment and deal of
smothered Indignation, and they eye as
Rance the patriotic legislators, whom they
lear will pass rigid laws governing future
sales.
Senator Kleberg's bill, giving hotel and
boarding. house keepers a lien on their
guests baggage, has caused him to be an OBJ
lect of suspicion in the minds OF his col
leagues. 1t is believed that he is in collu
sion with the hotel men, and to save his
own baggage is attempting to jeop-
ardize that of his brother leg
islators and thus protect the
sleek purveyors. Senators Davis and Shan
non are seriously considering the propr iety
of domiciling themselves in tent on the
capital grounds; Senator Terrell has had
numerous applications for lodging room in
his elegantly fitted up private apartments,
Senator Maddox going so far as to even pro
pose to sleep on the wardrobe: while
! Messrs Chesiey and Gooch are perfectly
willing to content themselves on top OF the
| book cases, and PleulIer and Gbbs, inclined
| to cOrpulency, ARE willing to blissiully dream
under the center table. Labatt, OF the
house, who carries roll ofgreenback con-
! federate bills which, when around his
! boarding house he inadvertently makes
conspicuous, anticipating the worst, has
/ mid his borrowed carpet-bag containing his
other shirt and one sock, in one of the clos
cts of the capitol. Other members are in
some distress, and il the bill should by any
possible chance or mischance, be passed
it will be calamity from
which many legislators will emerge
at the end of the session shorn OF their
W airing apparel.
Senator iraylor's bill, providing for a
banch of the lunatic asylum, is carefully
drawn and sh Ould receive careful considers
ton. Ofcourse, it and others that have
been and will be introduced of like import
will meet with much opposition, prompted
by local interests. The bill in question
designates no particular locality but places
