SECOND DIsPArcH-rULLER DETAILS.
AUSTIN, Jan. 26.-[Special. when the
Galveston News OF Friday arrived this
morning, the senate vas soon in fever
Hon. John Hancock. He denounces the
senate as being wanting in patriotism and
sense, as evidenced by the defeat OF the
Terrell bill. This morning an editorial in
the Statesman was in the same strain.
Some of the reaellious north senators claim
that the honorable gentleman is Hot in
the Collar" because he had large tracts OF
western land upon which the Terrell bill
would have forced tenants. and that he
had large trades dependant on the
passage OF the bill. They claim that
the denunciations of the governor
and the legislature are in keeping with
Hancock's usual course towards all other
men who don't subserye his interest. The
members before the morning session OPEN
ed were gathered in little knots, and Han
cocks record was severely criticised, and
the following resolution was prepared, and
1t Is said will be introduced on Monday:

commonly known "a Back Salary Grab

A north Texas senator to-Gay said that
1t is we'll known that there is combination
between certain journals and public men to
bull the land market, and that they will at
tempt to destroy the democratic party or
carry measure similar to the Terrell bill.
They claim that the railroads and land
speculators, owning alternate sections in
west ard northwest Texas have pooled their
issues, and hope in the name Of the school
fund to get support enough from the
farmers to down" ireland and all opposi-
ton TO the herd law. Some of our
senators from north Texas are wide awake
men, and have unmssked what they claim
as the finishing touch TO railroad legisla-
ton. They also charge that some leading
Independents are in the scheme. The s,n-
ators claim that ii is not want OF leadership
but conflicting interests that retards leeis-
lation In both houses. Austin 10 full o. rc-
