APPROPRIATION BILLS i.
The IadugIrut Ball,

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Dec. % 1t seems that
the tremendous amount of money to be
inaugural ball has attracted the atten-
ton of numerous prominent MetbQ@st
ministers in various sections of the Union
and the result is q vigorous denunciation
and protest on their part. That these
expenses will foot up considerably over
500 200 seems almost Incredible, but 50
it is and that it will be the grandest
affair of the kind ever seen in tn Ameri-
can capital is equally true. 1t is
understood that the opposition
of the clergy is not merely
based on the great cost, but on the anti
braced in its discipline. But like the
against the big ball will be impotent, and
spacious as the huge pension office court

those who would fain usher in the return
Of the Republicans to the accompaniment
of twinkling feet.
THEY WILL LET IT DROP.
The Democrats of the house encouraged
by the fierce assaults made by 9 few of
the Democratic senators, notably Senator
Coke on the extremely vulnerable senate
tariff bill patched up in the interests of
monopolies are preparing to hammer the
life out of it as soon as it comes before
them. They will attack it with their
strongest guns in the committee first and
probably damage it so badly there that it
will nevermore respond to the call of
time. The ways and means committee
have caught their second wind and are
to-day as full of fight as when with all
the resistless might of truth and logic
they laid bare the sophistries of the adj
vocates of protection. The ringing words
of the president Just uttered in Boston
seem to have electrified his followers
and even now thousands are re-
echoing the words Gin the
track of reform are often found the dead
hopes of pioneers and the despair of those
who fall in the march, but there will be
neither despair nor dead hopes in the

HENRIETTA, TEX, Dec. 29.-Every-

the holidays, though the town has been
full Of people and business has been quite
brisk. 1t rained all day on the 25th, and
is raining again to-day, the intervening
time being clear and pleasant.
There has been no drunkenness
nor any fight, row or diff
fculty of Fanny kind during the entire
week-none of those unpleasant or dis
graceful occurrences that are so common
during Christmas week in most towns of
this size. Certainly no town in the state
is more worthy the reputation of peace
full, der-loying, lazy abiding than Hen
rietta.
The home-seeker continues to come.
Nine Germans from Missouri and Kan
sas came in yesterday TO buy homes and
will locate in this county. Several
of them were here two months ago pros

land then near town. They say they
have seen no other country that can
compare with this, and they will not only
buy themselves, but will bring others
down when they come TO imorove their
places in the spring.
Mr.. J. B. Ford, a well-to-do farmer

and convinced of the availability of Le-
sitilne to govern the four northern de-
partments they represented. All foreign
powers were Immediately informed of his
election, and portion of the navy was
ordered to this port to partake in the
demonstration in honor of that event and
to take part in the inaugural fetes. The
United States flag, after an absence of
eleven days, was returned to the mast
head of the Haytien Republic to enliven
the harbor, and was flying on the arrival
of the American vessels.
After having bombarded Cape Haytien,
Port de PAX, San Mare and other small
er ports in the north and west coast, and
completely demoralizing all foreign and
coasting trade, it has been decided to
advance war ships in connection with the
army marching to meet the forces OF
General Hypolite. Skirmishes have oc-
Cured on the frontier between small de-
tachments of the armies, and news of a
general engagement near San Marc is
mOmentarily expected. While the navy
and seat of government is in the hands
of the Legitime faction the troops under
Hypolite are superior in morals and gen.
eral efficiency and consider their COM
mander a ''second Napoleon.
The inhabitants of San Marc, recently
bombarded, are in a
MOST DESTITUTE CONDITION,
such being the condition to some extent
of all the bombarded ports.
Friday afternoon an official visit was
made by the admiral and thirteen officers
and men of the Galena and Yantic to
President Legitime and his cabinet.
President Legitime expressed in his
speech of welcome the friendliest feeling
for America, and entertained the officers
at his palace in the very best style.
Admiral Luce replied: 1t had always
been the policy of his country to encour-
age republics, especially those of the
West Indies, and particularly those
composed of enfranchised Africans, for
America had recently passed through a
conflict the ultimate object of which was
the freedom of that race in the great re-
public.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The full sub

tee in charge of the tariff bill was in ses-
sion to-day, going over the details of the
measure as far Us they have not been
passed upon by the senate, and deter
mining what changes to propose when
consideration of the bill is resumed next
week. 1t is hardly possible the
committee will be able to complete
this work before the new year land it will
probably be necessary to continue the
study of the measure with view to per-
fectlng it until nearly, if not quite, the
date fixed for their final vote upon it.
APPROPRIATION BILLS.
The subcommittee OF the senate ap-
propriati tons committee, in charge of the
District of Columbia bill, are working
hard on it and will probably be ready to
report it TO the senate next week.
In the house the Indian and sundry
civil appropriation bills are about COM
pleted and will be reported in the full
committees next week. This leaves the
fertilization, army, naval, deficiency :,
agricultural and postoftice appropriation
bills to be completed. Nearly all of them
are in al advanced stage, and the indica-
tons are that the first month in the new
year will see them all well out of the way
of the house.
