The High Court.


AU>rlS, Tex May 1.-The SEN
ate met at 3 p. M. ard resolved it.
self into a court of impeachment.
Repres ta,ive Smith said that this
was not the case of the board of
managers, but of the house of rep.
resentatlves He thought that an
opportunityso1ght to be given the
house to consider the decisions on
the demurrers. The committee
mad in their possession new evidence
and they had uuder consideration
the presentation Of new articles of
impeachment.
Major Walton, counsel for re-
spon tent, said that the house could
not amend the articles of impeach
men,, as there was no matter upon
which it could be founded. ne
only thing the house could do would
bs to withdraw the rem aiming ar.
ticles of impeachment or bring new
articles. He though it was unpre-
cedented for the court to wait ior
any additional articles of impeach.
ment to be brought.
TIE senate refused to postpone
the case until Taesday morning by a
vote of 10 to IL.
Representative Smith asked if
the house would be gwen the privi-
lece Of filing additional articles of
Impeachment.
The chair said he was unable to
give the information.
MAJ Walton then read pro.
test That the court has no power to
put the def, ndant on trial inasmuch
as the defendant demurred that the
impeachment article in the con-
stitution is not self executing and
the articles of Impeachment set up
no improbable matter.
Representative Smith said it was
admitted that the defendant was the
duly elected and qualified land COM
missioner, He then offered in
evidence a map Of the county of
Harm, with the school lands mark
ed in red and blue.
c. f. Wlnkler, county clerk of
Harris county, was then sworn. He
test fled that he had been county
clerk for about two and one half
years. He tai Jurisprudence with
the land flee. He had been
furnished from time to time with
corrected classification of school
lands in that county. He had the
original correspondence in regard to
putting the school lands on the
market, and also have received the
rip TT of sales. The witness here
prt duced the original documents.
The letter was then read giving
notice of the change of ella silica
ton of the school lands in Harris
county so as not to re luire settle
ment. The letter was dated Dec.
IA, 1892. This letter was to give
notice that the land was on the
market. Prior to that letter, these
school lands, which were not isolat-
ed and Diet ached we're not for sale
except to settlers. Witness is not
familiar with the lands and does
not know whether there are any
isolated aud detached sections in
the county.
After the receipt OF this letter
from the land commissioner, he had

Representative Breeding Of Harris
never tires of telling al anecdote
perpetrate at his expense several
weeks ago upon II p up the lake
above he dam. to the Chautauqua
Mountains. Quite number of
buzzards we're seen well up the cliff,
when newspaper man proposed
the conundrum, "Why are those
buzz ards like the statesman from
Harris?" They all give it mp when
the answer was gwen, Because
they are Breeding, i'll the noun
tains.
The senate resumed consideration
of the McGaughey matter this
mornil \ motion by TIPS to dis
miss the case was defeated, the
proposition receiving only two
affirmative votes, Tips and Crowley
casting them. The house commit
tee had no notice of che action Of
the high court on the demurrer up
to that time, and conse qnently could
not be expected to reform its case
to the ruling Of the court without
due notice az to what that action
was. The rulings of the court
we're read and the cour, ad burned
to o'clock, peIpetratlug palpable
outage in the Judgment of the
prosecution, in insisting upon re
formation of the charge to the
findings Of the court, lmmedi tsly
after they were made known, aud
while the members of the committee
were supposed to be enjoying their
noon meal.
And when the court convened,
Smith, for the committee Of ma-a
gers, arose and stated that his com.
mittee was not the prosecution, but
that it represented the house of
representatives and the people of
Texas. The house had instructed
the prosecution of the impeachment
proceedings as filed, but the fad
ings of the court in the matter o
the demurrers had so changed the
case that the committee did not
wish to take the respons bility Of
continuing the prosecution without
instructions. He further thought it
likely that the house would desire
to amend its articles and prefer ad,
ditional charges, bat ne was not
authorized TO speak, as no time had
been given between the rea ling of
the findings Of the court on the
demurrers and the enhancement
of the testimony. 1t being settled
that the house had the right which,
by the way, specifically reserved in
the articles Of impea ,hment, to file
additional articles If desired, the
senate refused to let the trial go
over to tomorrow morning.
The respondent filed a written
protest against the remaining arti-
cles of impeachment on the ground
that the general demurrer should
have been sustained, and that there
was no Improbable matter charged.

Fishermen'a Superstition.

At the beginning Of the herring season
the crew all try to seize the herring first
board, to see if it be male or female.
II it is a male. their fishing may be x
pected to be a poor one; il female, a
good one. Sometimes. however. the
skipper secures it and hides it away, salt
ing it and laying it past for the season.
The boat must not be turned against the
sun. Certain animals considered of i'll
omen must not be spoken of in the boat,
and ministers in this respect occupy the
same place as rabbits, hares and pigs.
Fishermen do not like to lend anything
to d neighboring boat, lest their luck
should go with it. IF they lend a match,
they will contrive-secretly if possible
to break it and keep part, hoping thereby
to retain their luck. Their dislike to
have anything stolen is increased by the
fear that the thief may have stolen their
luck with it. To ask the question,
Where are You going:" Of any one who
is going on board is equivalent to de
stroying all his chances for that time.
Persons with certain names are held to
be of bad omen, the dreaded names be-
ing different in different villages.-Notes

in favor of the revolutionists, and pnt
their vessel under his command. The

fred upon from the gunboat Camocin.

passing back of the town Tuesday
