VIEWS ON DEEP WATER.

AUSTIN, Jan. 25. Especial. - Mr..
Woods having made motion on Thurs
day, when the resolution instructing
our senators and requesting our con-
gressmen to vote for the passage OF the
Eads bill passed the house, to recon-
slider the vote, and had IL spread upon
the journals, Mr.. Kimbrough called up
the motion. On the question being put,
the house refused TO reconsider. Mr..
Kimbrough's object in calling it up
was to offer the following substitute for
the original resolution:
WHEREAS, There is an imperative
necessity for deep water at some
| that the commercial interests Of
our state and Of the great northwest
may be enhanced; be IL
Resolved, That our senator in
congress be instructed, and cur
repre- sentatives requested to give
thoir best efforts and influence for
the passage of bill in furtherance of
this end at Galveston, which, in their
best judgement and discretion, will se-
cure the result, cheapness, feasibility
and practicability being considered.
The senate having passed similar
resolution to that passed by the house,
l
house, Mr.. Kimbrough will seek an op-
portunity to have his substitute adopted
by the house in lieu of the senate's res
olution.
When tho resolution was voted upon
in the senate, Senator Harrison gave
the following most sensible, practical
and conservative reasons for his vote
, against 1t, to-wit:
any reason for voting "no" on the
ado ption Of the Eads resolution is be-
cause the resolution seeks TO contine
the Texas delegation aG Washington to
the Eads plan. favor deep water at
Galveston, but am unwilling TO attempt
to contine our delegation To any partlcu-
lar plan aud cost when do not under
stand that plan, and when Others may
arise equally as good and cheaper. l
prefer 70 leave these matters TO the dis
cretion of tho delegation, but would be
willing TO request them to obtain deep
= water upon the best and cheapest plan
+ practicable"
Senator Hall concurrod in the views
of Senator Harrison and adopted his
$ reasons as his own for voting nay.
O \ HORSE ON THE HOUSE.
!. The senate Is ahead of the house In
i the number of bills passed.
:. FAVORS A REPoRMAToRY.
n There seems to be an almost unani
nous sentiment In favor of creating q
state reiormatory for boys under II OF
is wears of age. The idea is to save
them from the odor, tho infamy of ser
vice in the state penitentiary, and Il
)f place them under such moral influence
IA and educational facilities as will de
AZ velop their better natures and elevat
- :, them, that they may become good ant
~ useful citizens and members of sooiet,
|. when they reach mans estate.
l. HE WANTS To KNOW SOMETHING.
10 1t is a pleasant thing to see u legisla
IL tor who desires information. The

j. desires and requests the assessors an
10 collectors throughout the state TO son
I'd in to him any ideas they may have wit

In Hon. j. A. Peacock took short leay
1t. for his home at Daingerlield, but will
