THE PLANS AGAIN.
Judge Marshall, counsel for Myers,
appeared and asked that the committee
pay the 10000 due to Myers, no having
executed the bond and signed the con-
tract required.
City-Attorney Meredith urged that
the $4,000 should not be paid until the
necessary changes in the plans and
specifications were made.
Judge Marshall held that under the
contract the money was due, and it
should be paid at once.
Mr.. Meredith contended that Judge
Marshall was in error.
Colonel Cutshaw said that the plans
as they stood were in such shape as to
render it impossible for him to COM
mence the construction of the building
by them. He had always been in favor
OF the Myers plan, but could not sane
ton paying for it until it was made
complete.
SlON IhE tONIRANi hEN i1ANo
ARE COMPLETE.
Mr.. Pizzini asked Mr.. Myers if he
would DO willing to allow the contract
to remain unsigned for the present,
with the understanding that just SO
soon as he furnished Colonel Cutshaw
with the dimensions and sizes required
to complete the plans now in possession
Of the city that the contract will be
signed and the first payment made to
him.
Mr.. Myers and Judge Marshall re-
tired for consultation, and soon reap.
pesred and asked Colonel Cutshaw for
. written statement O. to what was
needed to make the drawings complete
and satisfactory to him and the COM
mittss. Colonel Cutshaw submitted

REHEARING.
As mentioned many times before,
counsel for prisoner have moved for a
rehearirg, and their petition therefor
will be filed in print when the court
meets at Staunton September 10th.
Counsel have not made known the
special grounds upon which they rely
in asking that rehearing be granted.
THE PRISONER.
Cluverius, who is confined in Rich
mord jail, still bears up hopefully and
courageously. He evidently thinks
that be has good chance Of securing
a rehearing from the Supreme Court.
He sees 4 few visitors. Yesterday q
young man from down the country came
to see him, bringing letter from pris
oner's homefolks.
Cluverius told the jailer Wednesday
morning that he felt the earthquake
shock very sensibly the night before
lie said nothing yesterday morning
about the shock on Friday night.
The prisoners at tho jail have so fsi
suffered nothing of the terror which
seized the penitentiary convicts OF
Tuesday night, but from CIuverius'i
account, on the third story, where h'
IS confined, the vibration must have
been almost as decided there as at tn,
penitentiary.

A very large portion Of Judge Lacy's
opinion is devoted to discussion of
what evidence should be considered on
appeal. Many authorities are quoted,
and the Judge argues to show that only
the evidence of the defence which is 10
conflict with that Of the Commonwealth
should be rejected the rest should be
considered. That is the theory upon
which he proceeds, and lawyers Of
ability say that his opinion is a very
able presentation of the law and the ad-
thorities on this particular point.

THE INSPIRATIONS or OoMMIS-
NLONER HALSH.

Not long since Senator Dick Harrison
of Waco got after Land Commissioner
Walsh with bludgeon. He made the
assertion that the land commissioners Is
sued patents to lands without authority
OF law. Mr.. Harrison may call this a
discovery, but we do not. II he will
produce any evidence that Mr.. Walsh
ever paid any regard to the law when it
conhicted With his peculiar notions, TUE
GAZETTE will print It as startling item
Of news. But no one familiar With the
course OF Mfr. Walsh's administration of
the land affairs of Texas will feel the
least surprise at the honorable senator's
charge Of illegal conduct. II the ad-
vance in the price OF leases from cents
per acre was not outside Of the law we
would like to see the Waco senator set
himself to the task of showing why not.
The Greer county case, which Senator
Harrison spoke of, was peculiarly fla
grant violation Of law, and the conduct
Of Mr.. Walsh in that matter seems to
have been kind Of bravado TO show the |
people how far he dared 60 in defiance Of
the law, The lands there we're leased to

without ever having been surveyed, as
required by law, In violation Of the
land boards ruling that no wstered land
should be leased, thousands of acres Of
this unsuryeyed land were taken up along
creeks and rivers by the Austin favorites,
without competition, without notice to
other parties likely TO want the lands that
hey could be had at special rates to the ,
avored ones. The whole transaction was
