CURIOUS LEGAL PROCEE DlNGs.
An Attempt to Null,fy the Texas
Criminal Code.

San Antonio, Tex. April 16.-
One of the most curious legal pro-
csedings which has ever come to
light in this part of the country and
which, if prosecuted to the ultima
tum, will be no less startling than
sensational in it's results, has been
commenced in the United States dis
strict court in this city.
The proceeding has for it's object
the complete notification of the en-
tire criminal code of Texas as estab-
lished and practiced since 1876,
The most casual observer can see
what state of anarchy would be
forced upon the people of Texas if
the federal court sustains the allie
cations contained in the petition
which was filed for hearing to-day.
The issue eff the validity of the pc
nal code and code of criminal pro-
cedurs is raised in an application for
habeas corpus to secure the release
from custody of Dick Duncan, who
was convicted by the state district
court of Maverick county, sitting at
Eagle Pass, few weeks ago, of the
murder of the Williamson family,
whose mutilated bodies were found
floating in the Rio Grande.
He was indicted on several counts
of murder, and upon his first trial
was convicted of murder and the
death sentence was pronounced up
on him. He has been in Jail in this
city since sentence was passed for
safe keeping, pending the decision
of the court of appeals on his case.
The application for writ of habeas
corpus is new route by which he
expects to secure not only his own
release and immunity, but establish
that the state of Texas is without a
statute under which any criminal
act can be corrected or punished.
The application was first made to
circuit judge Pardee at New Or
leans, and Judge Pardee ordered
that hearing on it be had at the
spring term of the United States
district court for western Texas,
which opens here May S. General
Roger A. Pryor, of New York, has
been retained to assist in pleading
for the alleged murderer, and it is
understood the petition is the hand
iwork mainly of Gen. Pryor and T.
J McGinn, of this city. The case
will be carried to the United States
supreme court.

AGIN THE BOYCOTT.
Southern Statesmen Putting on
the Brakes.
VANCE AND GORDON oUTsPoxEI,

And Others. While Sympathizing with
the Movement, Opposing 1t as Bad Pol
icy-Northesn Democrats Who Indorse
the Position of Governor Gordon-Re-
lance Placed by Some on the Impossi-
bility of Enforcing the Election Law
If Passed.
WASHINGTON CITY. July 24.-Those
southern hot-heads who are calling upon
their fellow citizens to boycott the north
in case the force bill is passed are not re
ceiving much open support from the
Democrats in Washington. Almost every
southern senator or represent ative of any
prominence has been interviewed, and a
large majority of them say that the talk
OF boycOtting is nonsense. These men are
as earnest as ever in their opposition to
the bill, and are still of the opinion that
it v an outrageous insult 10 the south,
and that it would put a material check
upon the growing prosperity Of the south
ern towns
Policy Influences Some.
Senators German and Vance are out
spoken in their opposition to the boycott
ting programme, and such radical south
erners as Butler, Colquitt, Call and others
are very chary of expressing an indorse-
ment of Governor Gordon's sentiments.
1t is true, however, that some of the lead
ing southerners in both houses, including
one or two of those above quoted, while
being at heart in favor of the boycott,
deem it very unwise to agitate the subject
before the determination of the senate is
made manifest.
SOlidifying the Republicans.
They feel convinced, too, that the bill
could never be practically enforced Ow-
ing to the existing conditions of society in
the south. They very much regret, how
ever. that some of the southern papers and
southern statesmen are indulging in such
inflammatory talk. The more conserva-
tive and thoughtful southern Democrats
in Washington have begun an active and
concerted movement to head off this talk
of bOycotting and so far they have en-
listed in their ranks almost every southern
Democrat of any influence or power. These
men think that it is such talk as is being
ihdulged in by Governor Gordon that will
solidify the Republican senators in favor
OF the force bill, and draw To their sup
port men who are now lukewarm.
Northern Advocates OF the Boycott.
Some of the most eager advocates OF
boycotting are congressman from the
northern states and an earnest effort is be-
ing made by the cool-headed men from the
south to restrain their ardor knowing
that all.talk of southern retaliation only
strengthens the hands of the Republicans
