TExARKANA, BOWIE COUNTY, TEX. March
1S.-Hon. R. L. Henry, assistant attorney
general of Texas, who has been visiting his
fathers family at this place for week
past, returned to Austin yesterday after
noon. While here THE GAZETTE reporter
took occasion TO sound him touching his
preference for the Democratic nomination
for president, and in reply Mr.. Henry in
substance said: l am unqualifedly, first,
last and all the time for David B. Hill Of
New York. His very name is tower of
strength, a synonym of success, and he is a
sure winner. With him as the Democratic
standard bearer there would no longer be
any doubt of the result of the contest; with
someone else 1 should have serious fears
for the outcome. Despite Republican abuse,
which 1 regret to see some so-called
Democratic newspapers copy and indorse,
regard Hill as clean man, an honest, up
right and true patriot, whose one and
only sin as seen by his political enemies
lies in the fact that he is intensely Demo-
cratic from the ground up, and is a deter
mined, conquering fighter in the Democratic
ranks. Nothing is clearer than that he is
the choice of the Democracy of New York,
or that the opposition to him in that state
comes entirely from ex-Cleveland Office
holders and mugwumps. Yes, I predict
Hill as surely the winner in the Chicago
convention and glorious and overwhelm-
ing Democratic victory next November.
The second man on the ticket will be,
think, either Gray or Boies."

tt with much pleasure that your atten-
ton is drawn to the condition of the reve-
nues. After paying the current expenses of
the government and reducing the state tax
for general purposes twenty-five per cent,
there remains money enough on hand to
pay the legitimate expenses of this session
of the legislature and to meet and pay off the
bonds issued in 1871, now about due, with
out creating deficiency in the treasury.
Your honorable bodies at the general
session, fearing that a reduction of the
taxes might produce 4 deficiency or abridge
the revenues to actual current expenses of
the government, provided for the payment
of those bonds out of the permanent school
fund, with the condition that interest-bear-
ing securities should be issued to that fund
in lieu thereof. 1t is well now, in view OF
the existing healthful condition of finances,
to change that law by making an appropri-
alton out of the general revenue to pay of
that debt.

Mechanics Liens.

Defects in the laws have worked much
mischief and harm to artisans, mechanics,
material-men, contractors, builders and La
borers in this state. They nave often been
defrauded of their labor, material and money
by those who have crouched behind techni-
calities in the law. In justice to that wealth
producing class it is well to afford them
Just protection by making their liens more
certain and secure. No man in justice can
be, nor should he be in law, permitted TO
live or do business in a house while those
who have furnished the MATERIAL labor or
money for its construction are left
in distress and bankruptcy BY rea-
son of an act of Reputation
warranted only by legal technicalities never
intended by any government operated for
the public veal. A re-enactment of the law
on this subject, embracing all the features
necessary to secure their rights and 10 pro-
tect owners of property from injustice, re-
moving all technicalities in the way OF Sc
curing the lien and enforcing it, would now
seem necessary and proper.

| Special to the Gazette.
AUSTIN, TEX, March 13.-As was ex-
| pected the absorbing topic with the legis-
| lators is the election of a senator. The
| solons, since their arrival, have gathered
about the hotels where the talk has all
| been about Mills, Chiffon and Culberson.
| Nothing else is mentioned or thought of.
| Tonight the ieutenants of each candidate
are circulating actively among the members
| ascertaining their standing and stiffening
| the backbone of those showing evidences
of weakness. The non-committal members
are being courted asSiduously and told how
strong is the following of this or that
candidate.
Some rather extravagant claims are be-
| ing made for the purpose of influencing
| doubtful and hesitating members. There
are probably twenty odd of these latter,
which circumstance gives the friends of
each candidate an opportunity to enlarge
upon their claims.
The Mills men are claim
| ing everything tonight and boldly
assert that heir man will be elected on the
| first ballot. They parade the following
| poll: Mills, rs votes; Chiffon, 81; Culber-
son, 20; doubtful, II. Total, 1877.
The poll prepared by Chilton's friends
reads: Chiffon, 81; Mills, AZ; Culberson,
10; doubtful, 25, Total, 1877.
CulberSon's friends have made no poll,
but claim thirty-fiYe votes in a Joint ballot.
Representative Jester, Lieutenant. Gov
ernor Pendleton, Senators Page and Tyler,
are working hard for Mills, and while they
do not claim enough pledged votes to elect
Mills, they pretend to know the secret
choice of sufficient nor-committed members
to warrant their claim.
Senator Crawford is Culberson's chief
lieutenant.
Representative Selman of Tyler is acting
for Chiffon, but expects Representative
Lindsey, Messrs. Finley, Duncan, Jones
and others from Tyler tomorrow to work
for the Tyler favorite The fact that
certain members known to be for either
Culberson or Chiffon, are looking for IN
welcome instructions from their con-
stituents on every train has a rather dis
concerning effect on the friends of these
two candidates, and very corresponding
encouraging one on the Mills people.
Chiffon lost two supporters in Rogers of
Anderson, and Mckinney of Walker. and
will probably lose another two, maybe in
Travis.
At late hour tonight while the Mills
men are claiming everything, it is entirely
safe to say that Mills lacks several votes of
enough to elect him on the first ballot. The
issue of the fight depends on the fidelity TO
their candidate of the Culberson men, and
on the decision of the non-committals. If
the latter, or most of them, go to Chiffon,
as is claimed, it may take several ballots to
elect, otherwise one ballot will finish it.

At the regular session your honorable
bodies passed law providing for the uni
forInity of public school text books. For
the reason that the enacting clause, to-wit:
'sBe it enacted by the legislature of the
state of Texas, ;" was omitted or removed
from the bill before it reached the hands of
the governor, it became imperative and
void Everything indicated that the bill
had been despoiled by the fraudulent
manipulation of some interested party.
After a thorough investigation, however.
the grand jury of Travis county failed to

that legislative action was defeated in this

Damages by RECEIVERS.

It has recently been held by our courts
that article 2S99 of the Revised Statutes,
while making railway and other corpora
lions liable for damages resulting from the
death of persons caused by the negligence
or carelessness of themselves or their serv-
ants, does not apply TO receivers in charge
of the corporate property.
As great many of our corporations are
operated by receivers, they escape all dam
age caused by the death of persons inflicted
by their carelessness. 1t is well, there
fore, 10 so amend the law that these re-
ceivers and the corporate property operated
by them shall be made liable also.

Yesterday moripg about O'Clock,
the report OF q pistol was heard In
the nelg borhood of Mesquite street,
which aroused the many Inhabitants
Of that section, Upon investigation
it was learned the firing was done ct
the residence of one of San Antonio's
most popular business men, on Mes
quite near Burleson street. From all
that could be learned of the affair by
q reporter, the following is q correct
account of the cause, etc:
During the night this mans wife,
who is quite popular in society, had
occasion to leave their sleeping
chamber, and repaired, so the nus
band supposed, to the rear portion of
the building to o closet. The sffec-
ton the man had for his wife,
naturally caused him to be
anxious, and be did not 60 again
to sleep thinking he would lay
awake and protect her if necessary,
that portion OF the city being very
lonely, and good place for Migrants
TO linger.
While he was lying quietly, he
heard the footsteps OF man approach
ing. AS he reached the front gate,
he came to a stop. This excited the
husband, for being naturally afraid
of midnight in truders, he was of the
opinion that visitor of that kind was
ABOUT to enter. To his surprise, he
q moment later, he heard the voice OF
Thia nnnnh
called in q low voice for his wife, but
no answer was received. He con-
cluded to peep out Of the window.
That instant he realized that his life
would no longer be q harpy one; that
his supposed true and loving wife
had deceived him through life and
that the efforts on his part to make
her a happy home were of no avail.
What was to be done? Was he to
forgive her and again welcome her to
his sacred spot? No! it was too late.
The deamon of anger had fixed itself
in the heart of the unfortunate man
and he could not endure IL longer. A
moments thought and he concluded
TO let the matter rest until his wife
returned to the bedroom. He took
one farewell glance at the strange
man and his deceitful wife and saw
the good night caress. This was
enough. He again retired.
The woman returned from the closet
q few moments later and what en-
sued, could not be learned. This was
the hour when the discharging of q
pistol took place. When the firing
was done, q scream was heard and
then all subsidized. The woman has
not since been seen and the general
opinion Is that she is staying in for
fear the neighbors are aware of the
occurrence.
