State Capital correspondence.
AUSTIN, Dec. ),

AZ SIN, Dec, ..
Austin society just now is not so gay
as usual some how. The usual run of
receptions, germans etc, has hardly be-
gun and lovers of society are wondering
at the state OF affairs. In fact they iqueS-
tiOn as TO whether there will be much of
a season, although embryo debutanteS
are numerous and each intends giving
grand reception when she comes out"
The trouble is the scarcity of men,
so the majority think, for to every single
one there are four pretty girls. IL is not
that there is lack Of available material
among the Sterner sex. but the boys say
that under the prevailing system it really
doesn't pay to be a society man.
Austin has been about the last of the
Texas cities to introduce an electric car
system. but now she bids fair TO have one
Of tho finest in the state. The much per-
secuted mule with its ever changing and
ever cruel driver is a thing of the past,
and instead swiftly moving cars go flying
in all directions over the city driven by
hidden power.
The capital city is always liveier and
more enjoyable when the legislature is in
session and the called session soon to con-
vCnn. as many think. is looked forward to
with pleasure by the boarding house
keepers and the younger population, for
it brings many strangers to town, and the
verdent legislator, with his pro! lcial
looks and ways and SeIt-SatiSiipd manner,
is ever an object of interest.
The celebrated Terry Rangers had
meeting here on last Wednesday and
there was a gOodly attendance, judging
from the number Of yellow badges.
Sturdy looking fellows all of them: the
majority past their three score years, but
all jOvial and happy and glad TO meet
their old comrades Onc1 again.
Austin has had the same run of shows
this season as has San Antonio, and some
good plays have been presented, but so
far they have not been of much account on
the whole. However, many good things
are booked for the remaining months of
the season.
The dome of the capitol has just been
reprinted and the great number OF lad
dGTS, ropes. tcCStleS. &c, necessary to such
work have been at last taken down. The
first coet was brown and many people
wondered why the old dome looked squat
ty" while it was being put on. But twas
only a demonstration OF a familiar fact
that dark objects seem nearer than light
pr ones. The Statesman had its readers
interested one morning just after the
work was begun. by announcing that a
workman had discovered, tC his horror,
while painting the cheeks of the goddess
OF liberty. that the classic head harbored
a swarm Of bees. But many doubted and
more followed in their wake when, the
next day. a man was seen aStride her god
deSShip's OutStrctchCd arm gliding the
golden star in her head. The only reason
for starting such report was evidently
TO give the city editor of the Statesman a
chance for pun which soon appeared to
the effect that the high toned goddess
was the only publiC parsonage in Austin
who had a bee in the bonnet.

ECHOES FROM WEST END.
H'DQ'Rs DAILY LIGHT.


The arrest. under an Indictment. Of
Mayor Callaghan knocked me out Of the
lists of prophets: short while back when
the grand jury asked to be discharged be-
cause OF so much interference in their de-
alterations by Judge King ana Others. we
stated our belief that Mr.. Callaghan need
not be uneasy; that he had not been
charged with any crime and would not
be: il was a mistaken prediction and an
other case where the wish was father TO
the thought" for, personally we always
liked Mr.. Callaghan, and should be glad
if he succeeds to find twelve different vim
dicatOrS on petit jury than Mr.. Martinez
did. What do not like and cannot get used
to about Mr.. Callaghan is that reversible
political cloak of his, that he wore when
he was chairman of that parJy-Splitting,
never before heard Of. joint republican
and democratic executive committee. that
consigned him TO his early grave, on such
dismal and barren rock, where never a
resurrection plant will ever grow.
Among the recent inspectors at West
End were Rev. Father Smith, Of 81.
Mary's church, Of the city. He may tell
his own impressions to his friends and
may not omit to state that the children
could not find the queue. he was supposed
to have brought from the celestial en-
pire. We hope he liked his visit, "aIl
Samee." Among the ladies were Mrs. l..
and Miss Annie Wurzbach. who were fair
ly delighted with West End. SCHEID.

The editorial whine in this mornings
Express about Mayor Callaghan'S open

fact that it attempts to make the people
believe that the Indictment charges or
intimateS that the mayor received some
benefit dishonesty. from that tranSac-
ton. As amattCr of fact, the Indictment
charges nothing of the kind. In theft,
swindlinC. enlightenment, forgery etc,
there must be either an intention to in
iure" or "dcfraud, or convert
10 the use and benefit OF the
person accused" and in theft, the property
must be taken with the intent TO deprive
the owner of the value thereof and ap-
prODriate the same to the use and beneht
of the person taking the same" but there
are so MANY different ways of plundering
the CITY treasury that the law makers
made it penitentiary Offense for city
