General Hogg comes to represent Tex
as In several matters, the most important
being 10 aEgue The case OF Asher vs.. The
State Of Tezss before the Supreme court.
The c.se involved the right of stste to
levy tax On drummsrs, .Td WAS decided
py the Supreme court OF Texas adversely
10 the state. It will probably be heard

New York lawyer, will represent the
knights e the grip.
Judge ABBOTT never relszes his eSorts
to get the Fort Worth public building bill
through the Mouse, and had it not peeu
for some rather petty epd uuderhaaded
opposition, rot from any OF his col
leagues, would have succeeded long ere
this.
HyLGoRR AS AN GsJECToR.
Colonel Eilgore has certainly usurped
the place rbss Judge Holman had of yore,

him: "The men ST this time whose cb-
sence is most enjoyed during the frat
morning hour when unanimous con-
sent may be asked are Mr.. Kllgoye and
Mr.. Richardson on the Democratic
side AID Mr. Lyman on the other side Of
the House. Mr.. kilgore sDpeIrs to tske
3 sEVnge sort Of delight In interposing on
objection just when the gentleman asking
unanimous consent feels that he is safe.
He has way OF appearing not to notice
WAT Is going on until just the last mo-
ment, when he rises slowly from his
chair, as il about to leave thu nall, stops,
hesitAtes an instant, and then putting W
one hand after the fashion O; 8 military
salute, says: "Mr. Speaker. ! reckon
I'il object" His favcrlte objection to q

THE ADJOURNMENT.
speciaI TO the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6-The husl sd
iousnms1t OF Congress is the uppermost
question with the members st the present
line. A number Of Representatives argue
agslnst C formal dissolution, but the
great msiority, recognizing that moth
ing can 0e gcined by proioDeing
the session, are anxious to bring
1t TO an eafly termination. Unfortunately,
with the present elm attendance, it is
within the power Of q single member CT
the House to defeat the passage Of a res
olution OF adjournment By raising the
question OF q quorum. The NUMBER of
these who resist adjournment are con-
sIAntly growing less and the pressure
is becoming So strong that 1t is
prcb1ble these gentlemen will be COM
PEELED TO withdraw their opposition snd
permit the session to be closed by firel
adjournment or by recess TO begin shout
the middle OF the month.
VOTE ON TIE TARIEP BILL.
I; is certain that the Senate will do
nothing toward securing s vote
On the tariff bill Until December.
Democratic Senators recognize that
e vote is out Of the question until about
thsttime or even perhaps until after the
Christmas holidays, and the almost uni
versal desire Of these gentlemen csn not
fsil to influence their party friends in the
House WAC ere persisling 10 holding Con-
gress in session to 70 practical purpose.
Senator Harris, the leading member OF the
hnaIce committee in the absence OF Mr..
Bsck, ss:d to-day that he WAS
ulqusliaadly in favor OF an early terminc-
| ii1n of the session. The Senate, said
Mr. Harris, is in favor CT adjourning, bat
no resolution CT that character will be
introduced on thst side CT the Capitol.
Il will have to come from the House,
where sll such resolutions legidmstely
originate.
