KYLE, TEX, Jan, s-Although Kyle
has been the theme of more than one
newspaper scribbler, yet be 1T said to he
credit OF the place, nothing has been over
drawn.
Kyle is situated ON the International &
Great Northern railroad, about twenty
one miles south Of Austin, and has pop
ulatlon Of some twelve hundred souls.
The town Is now about five
years old and is situated IN the midst
of as fine an agricultural and cattle coun-
try as can De found in Texas. The land
is gradually uudulating, aud for fertility
cannot be surpassed Cotton, wheat,
corn and oats are the principal products,
and wheat raised in tins section last
year will compare lavorably, according
TO the reports of wheat dealers, with that
grown IN North Texas. Cotton, in favor
able seasons, ranges from three-quarters
to a bale and half TO the acre.
The old settlers of this portion OF the
stnte are among the best class OF people,
while those who have come OF q later date
are God-fearing, respectable, enterprising
law-abding people, whose chief aim Is
to do what is right. One of the chief
places of interest around Kyle is the
large Touring mills situated two miles
| west OF town on the Blanco river. This
in -titution Is the laagest OF the kind in
Southwest Texas, and the perfection Of il
| was the lifetime work of the late Maj.
| Ezekiel Nance. The large steam cotton gin
situated IN the town Of Kyle is also the
work OF Mai Vance, and stands to-day a
monument of his great enterprise and in.
dustry. This latter institution Is so ar
ranged that cotton thrown from the
/ wagon comes out Il few minutes later
| hailed and ready for the market, aud the
] lint room is as near iire-proof as any
| other In the state, inasmuch as fires
can be smothered at a moments warn
ing, without even stopping the gins,
Kyle seminary is also one OF the inter
estiug features OF this little city, and IL Il
this institution, perhaps more than any
other, that has given Kyle the gooC
name she hes obtained abroad

THE SENATE,
WASHINGTON, jan. Son motion OF
Mr.. Ingalls, the senate agreed that when
it should adjourn to-day IL should be Til

with the view that resolution Of like
import may be drafted that will be ac-
ceptable both 10 Mr.. Voorhees, and MIR.
Harrison, for whose resolution that OF
Voorhees, was offered as substitute.
The senate then proceeded TO the con
sidetation OF bills ON the calendar. In
the debate arising upon a bill for private
relief Mr.. Dolp commented upon the in
creasing number OF such bills and the de-
creising number OF meritorious bills
coming before congress. He thought it
would be necessary TO make some general
provision for the consideration of private
bills and take them away from congress.
He showed thattsHring the first flfJy years
OF our government the number of bills in
troduced in the house Of representatives
was S777, while the number introduced
during the Forty-elghth congress alone
was $3.50.
The Utah bill was taken up and its con-
sideration was proceeded with. MIR. Ed
munds created some merrimont on rising
to speak on one of the amendments Of
tered yesterday. Looking about him and
finding lew Republicans in their seats he
said; CAS- hardly any of the friends of
human liberty are 10 the senate, | will adj
dress myself TO the reform men" After
some debate, MIR. Browns amendment
offered yesterday, which was To strike
out the words that would compel law
full husband and the wife OF the accused

dog two or three years old makes
