Ayres of Brazos moved to amend by
providing that any change may b,
made which is plainly in the in
terest OF the public. He thought
the bill a good one without any amend
ment, but he thought it might he i'm
proved by the amendment. IT is FREE
quently found necessary To make
changes in roads, and the bill would
make ii necessary that such changes
should not only shorten road but
place ii on better ground. He had in
| his section roads that ought TO be
shortened and might be shortened
three miles in ten, but under the bill
| IL would be impossible To do il. Roads
should he made straight, and then put
! in good condition by work. He did
not favor cast-iron legislation
though no one was more willing than
he % circumscribe the discretion here
tofore exercised by commissioners
courts.
Jones of Anderson moved TO amend
the amendment so that II would read
that no change shall be made which Is
not clearly in the interest ofthe public.
Accepted by Ayres.
Wood OF Lavaca opposed the amend
ment. He could see no objection to
the bill Us IL read. The trouble hereto
fore has been that the commissioners
courts could change the roads TO suit
each and every individual that APP
piled for 1t. 1t had been done
In his section, until in some
places person could scarcely go from
one public place TO another. III u

quent were the changes. ! T theaplend-
nlents were adopted, parties would go
before the commissioners courts with
their proofs and would continue to
crook and lengthen the roads as here
lOfore.
Scott OF Kerr opposed the amend
ments. Accept them and the same
trouble would exist us now. IL IL the
same principle of favoring monopolies
whiel, has involved lis in our
present troubles. Parties will 80
into the commissioners courts and in
fiuence them by money or promise OF
votes and get roads changed to suit
them.
Foster of Limestone did not think the
change would affect the bill; II merely
changed the wording. He wanted II
precise, so that no changes in the III
tcrests of individuals could be made.
He once heard a clown saying that he
was going TO pass around the hat and
take up a collection for the poor, and
adding, said that he was the poor.
The amendment requires that
changes shall be made for the
interests of the public, and II
adouted the public will be the indi-
vidual. 49,,
Pendleton said the bill would not
allow change without both shorten
ing il and placing 1t on better ground.
Gases might arise where roads could |
lie on better ground without length
enip6 them, and he thought II should
be permitted
Nash OF Dallas favored the bill with
out amendment. The bin does not
compel anything, but prohibits
changes that do not shorten the dis
lance aud place on better ground. II

Chambers of Tarrant moved Ia

Ruled out of order.
Pending the question on the sub
stitute, Cundif Of Gregg moved to lay
the substitute and amendment on the
table. He thought the majority of
the house was In favor of the original
bill. The motion TO table prevailed by
a vote of So to 80.
Chalmers of Tarrant renewed his
motion to amend He said IL would
be very different in country
where the ground was all
equally good TO make changes under
his amendment. A road could be
shortened If placed on equally as good
ground, which ought to " allowed.

the previous question: which was
moved and seconded. The amend
ment offered by Chambers was adopted
by vote of lifty-fve ayes to tbiHy-two
nays, and the bill passed to tDgross-
ment.
A message was received rom the
senate informing the hone OF the
passage by that body OF the
joint resolution requesting ttxas sena-
tors To urge the grant of rjet ,of way

El Mahdi Orders His Soldiers to Walk
Across the Nile.
THEY ATTEMPT ET AND 5000 OF
TmE NUMBER ARE DROWNED.

CAIEo, Dac, S.-General Gordon recently
sent defiant message to Ell Mahdi, inviting
him, if he bs the real prophet, to dry up the
Nile and come and take him (Gordon.l The
latest adyices report that El Mahdi accepted
this challenge aud directed his force to cross
the river, as If it were dry land, while he re-
msined on the bank and invoked the aid of
Allah, The result was that 5000 men we're
drowned. The disaster has greatly lessehed
FL Mahd's influence. His followers are
rapidly deserving him. He retired to the
Southwark after his discontinue.
The reported disaster to the Mahdi's force is
also reiterated at DoDgola. According to
other reports, however, the Mahdi remains at
Margtst and is making no attempt to inter-
cept the conveys sent by Gen. Gordon to Shen-
day. This inactivity ou his part, it is said, is
having tendency TO awaken the popular be-
lief in the sacredness OF his mission which has
prevailed among the natives
