Mr.. Mckinley of Ohio presented a telegram
from Cleveland, Ohio, detailing the destruc-
ton occasioned by the Ohio floods and rec
omended that Congress increase its appro-
priation to 8l,O00,OO0.
Mr.. Belford, Colorado, spoke in opposition
to the admission of Manning in the interest
of political morality and political decency.
In these election cases the republican party
has committed q blistering outrage only
equalled by the outrages by the democratic
party, On two occasions the democratic
party by brute force and political power had
seated Chalmers when he had not been elect
ed, and now it practically declined to seat
him when he was elected, and that in face
of the fact that Manning had confessed he
had no ca.e.
Mr.. Ray, New Hampshire, opposed the
minority resolution and the resolution offer

not exceeded the authority conferred upon il

FORTY-BIGRrR CONGRESS.


WASHINGTON. Feb IL.
The chair laid before the Senate . com.
munication from the secretary of the treas
ury transmitting in compliance With the re-
cent resolution of the Senate, the testimony
taken by the committee of the treasury OH
GERS relating to the performance of the duties
of the supervising architect.
Mr.. Hawley presented . petition from the
citizens of Connecticut, in favor of legisla.
tion giving citizanship to Indians where pos
sible and to grant lands to them in severalty.
The Senate on motion of Mr.. Sawyer took
up the bill making all public roads and high
ways post routes, which was debated by
Messrs. Plumb. Hale. Maxev and Sawyer,
and after q slight amendment passed.
Mr.. Beck called up the bill debated yester.
day relating to national bank circulation and
spoke at some length in its favor.
Mr.. Morrill, opposed the bill. Hc would
vote for anyone of the proposed bills that
would commend itself to the majority of the
Senate, but the bill he would offer as q sub
stitute was much better than the others. 1,
was as follows:
That upon the deposit of United States
bonds, as required by Law, any national bank
making the same will be entitled to receive
from the secretary af the treasury circulating
notes of different denominations in blank,
registered and countersigned as provided by
law, as follows: On United States four per
cent bonds deposited prior to Jan. l, 1890 an
amount equal to ITO per cent of the par value
of such bonds, provided that the issue Of the
circulating notes upon four per cent bonds
deposited or held in the first year succeeding
Jan. l. 1890, shall hot exceed l09 per cent.
of the par value of such four
per cent. bonds deposited or held
in each succeeding year shall be one
per cent less than in the year proceeding,
until the limit of the issue Of such circulating
notes is reduced to par, and provided further
that on the deposit of any bonds of the United
States now authorized by law, except as
herein otherwise provided, circulation notes
NAV be issued to an amount not exceeding
the par value of such bonds, and at no time
shall the total amount of such notes issued
to any association exceed the amount at such
time actually paid in on its capital stock. "
No one could contend, Mr.. Morrill, continued,
that there was the same security in three per
cents payable at the option of the government
that there was in four per cent bonds payable
90 years hence.
Mr.. Aldrich favored Mr.. Morrilrs amend
ment because it gave an inducement to the
purchase of four per cent bonds.

senool Matters eorEanirius Under the
New Law.

Our County Commissioners and Count,
Judge have divided the county into fou
school districts, the same being identiea
with the present Justice Precincts, arsl II
pursuance OF the new law Judge Kone hai
issued notice for the election Of thre.
trustees In each OF said districts. to come OF
on the End day Of August next We make
the following extract from the Judges let,
ter OF instructions to the trustees Of the
present school communities
You will please call your old community
together at once, elect your sub trustee for
your school, enlist all children between the
ages OF eight and sixteen years on tho first
OF September next, that reside In your CON-
munity, 30 that you will DO enabled TO pres
emit your petition 10 tho trustees for your
district, instead OF the county Judge IN for.
merry, at rs early date as possible, after
their election have them sign and forward
to the county Judge You will also observe
from the petition enclosed that each school
has but one trustee instead Of three as here
tofore. Under the new school law the
three district trustees determine how many
schools shall be maintained in their respec.
tive school districts and at what points they
shall be located and taught; hence the ne
cessity for presenting them with your peti.
ton and enrolment of scholastic children
in your neighborhood.
Judge Kone in his notice of election
gives the boundaries of each district, but be-
ing as we have said identical with the justices
precincts, the boundaries of which we pub
lished at the time they were Ibid out, and
which are now pretty we'll known, We do
not deem it profitable to republish them.
The following gentlemen are designated to
hold the elections:
District or precinct No. 1. w. r. McKie,
7. G. johnson, d. W. Daily.
No. 2. f. A. Vaughan, W. J. Good, J.

No. 4. j. T. Workman, NJ. L. Reed, I.
]. Good.
No. S. o. N. Casselberry, Ad. Adams,
rhos. H. Everett.
The new law having thus properly. as
We think, devolved the election of school
rustees upon the people, we trust sufi-
ent interest will be felt to cause full at
enhance at the elections of August End
f school matters are not managed satsfac-
orily, the fault will be with the people.
Ind if they neglect to look after their own
interests, who else can they reasonably ex-
ect to do so?

Editors Blanco Neacs II arrived here
today travelled over the Blanco and San
Marcos road, and write to inform you that
the enterprising people of this place have
commenced work on the above mentioned
road, and saw what 1 thought to be al
most impossible that is, the road is
being made first-class. / have known this
road thirty years and have often heard it
said that it would never bemade good one.
but this is mistake. The work is now
completed from here to the four mile post,
and from the county line of Comal and Hays
to Purgatory Springs; in all about seven
or eight miles of the work is completed and
I am, think. reliably informed that about
FIVE hundred dollars has been already
subscribed for the purpose of speedily
carrying out the enterprise, which is GER
tainly enough to more than complete it I;
and from what saw to-day, l am satisfied
that every teamster will prefer this road to
one without rocks, especially in muddy
weather. Now that these people have
shown their appreciation of the Blanco trade,
it is the duty of every merchant and every
other citizen to make this their railroad
point; and believe they will too, for this
is the nearest point, and will be the best
road when completed. 1 have heard that
Mr. Hermann Fischer intends having the
the road worked from the county line of
Hays and Comal to his store, and there can
be no serious objection to the road from his
place to Blanco. These people are SO en-
terprising that l wonld not be surprised to
hear of them working up scheme 10 build
railroad from here to Blanco. The ice
factory and water works are grand success
here and do not think the day is far dis
tant when there will be large factory Of
some kind erected here. There is already
paper mill spoken of. There will soon be
a wagon bridge completed across the Sal
Marcos River on the Austin road. Crops
are excellent, but cotton begins to need rain
badly. Business in the mercantile lines is
a little dull at present, but this of course is
not unusual in any place in Texas at this
season of the year.
have met many familiar faces here, and
all seem to be cheerful, and well they may
be, for San Marcos certainly has q bright
future. I hope these and the Blanco peo-
pie can soon shake hands with out striking
so many rocks as they have in the past.
