DUriMiion of Land Forfeiture Bills In the Hoime—

Against the Veto, Etc.
Washington, July 2.—Payson. of Illi
nois, from the committee on public lands,
reported back the bill forfeiting lands
granted to certain southern states to aid in
the construction of railroads, with a Benate
amendment excepting the Gulf and Ship
Island railroad from the terms of the for
feiture. Payson said the committee rec
ommended concurrence in the amendment.
He was in favor of the forfeiture of the
Gulf and Ship Island lands, but had taken
a stand against this forfeiture, and he
feared that if the amendment was not con
curred in the whole bill, which involved
seven million acres of land, might fail.
The bill, as amended, would forfeit the

Shelbyville, July 2.—The race for
commonwealth’s attorney in this district
is growing red-hot and promises to be
closely contested. The candidates are
James S. Morris, ot this county, the pres
ent incumbent, and Hen S. Robbins, of
Oldham. Considerable bad feeling and no
little bail blood has been aroused. Not
long since Mr. Robbins, in acard addressed
to tne democrats of the seventeenth judi-
ial district, brought charges against liis
Mr. Morris, Hon. J. C.
tficio chairman of the ex-
authorities. and Prof. Dabney on behalf of
the State University. Miss N. Harrison, of
Commerce, made a beautiful address for
the association in reply to the welcome ex
tended to them by the citizens of Austin.
Child nature, primary education and va
rious other subjects were ably discussed.
Notable among the proceedings were re
marks by Mayor Robertson declaring that
Texas did not need or desire federal aid in
her educational affairs, and a resolution
which was ottered and referred to a com
mittee on resolutions, recommending that
the state reject all federal aid in this direc
tion, whether through the Blair bill or
otherwise.
A motion was adopted that all members

He also charges Mr. Beckham with not
voting a proxy intrusted to him, as he was
instructed, and with aiding Morris in all
that he could.
Both Mr. Morris and Mr. Beckham are

Mr. Beckham argued that the calling of a
primary election was a thing for the com
mittee, and not. for the candidates to de
cide. He says that the meeting of the
committee was called at the instance of
Mr. Baskett, the chairman of the Henry

to emphasize the unionist opposition to
the premier, withheld opposition and left
the field clear to Jacks, so that he
might go back to the house of
commons with a largely increased majori
ty. At the last hour allowed by the law
the liberal managers nominated Gladstone
himself as tlieir candidate, the premier
consenting. Thus equipped, the Glad

However, under the accepted legnl theo
ry in general contracts there are no frac
tions of a day, it is held that no embarrass
ment will follow the failure to pass tlie bill
if the senate—as it probably will—shall to
morrow take up and pass the emergency
resolution passed by the house to-day, ex
tending the appropriation of last year tem
porarily. In this event, if the president
approves the resolution, it will bear date
July 1, and will cover services rendered
during that day and thereafter until its
term expires.
Senator Edmunds’ purpose in objecting
to the second reading of the ri solution to
day was to emphasize and call public at
tention to the repeated failures of appro
priation bills to reach the senate in time
for due deliberation and seasonable action
—a purpose which is approved on both
sides of the senate.

Montgomery, July 2.—The state demo
cratic executive committee met here and
issued an address to the people of the
state.
The address recites the fact that the re
publican party ruined the credit of the
state, destroyed the public schools, made
the convict system a disgrace to humanity
and a grievous burden to the state, propa
gated intemperance by encouraging cross
road “deadfalls” where the ignorant and
dishonest bartered stolen farm produce at
night for mean whisky, licensed lotteries
and c-reaieil a multitude of useless office ;.

to the legislative appropriation bill. A
ment reducing the number of senate mes
sengers from 27 to 25.
The amendment was rejected—21 to 25.
There were three other amendments in
the same line of economy. Two of them
were agreed to and one rejected on the yea
and nay vote.
An amendment for an additional clerk
for the civil service commission was op
posed by Vance, who remarked that if the
commission was unable to do any more
business it would be so much better.
Saulsbury looked upon the civil service
commission from beginning to end as a
useless piece of machinery. If he had his
wav he would repeal the law.
Yonrhees said that he had never been
for the law. sleeping or wakening, but
while it was the law he would treat i*
fairly and give it a fair chance. If there
was any good in it. he hoped the good
would come out. The fact would be made
manifest in due time, and tlie people would
pass upon it.
Ingalls did not wonder at Voorhees being
in favor of civil service law as administer
ed by the democratic party, and he quoted
from a statement of the commissioner of
pensions that out of seventy-seven
men appointed by him under the
civil service rule seventy-two
were democrats and the other
five were of unknown politics. He had 1.0
doubt that if the clerical force of the com
mission had been sufficient tiie politics of
the other five would have been found out
ai d the men w ul I 1 at e been demo r. ts.
Voorhees defended the commissioner of
pensions and commended the practice of
the two great parties in putting their ad
herents in office. Still he would no more
cut down the force of the civil service c-c n:-
niission or deny it the means of
giving the system a fair trial
than he would vote to cut off the. supplies
from an army in the field, even if he did
licit approve the policy of the war. The
commission was discharging its duty ami
he was upholding its hands in a liberal
and proper spirit.
Call said he did not propose now to ar
raign the law as being in the direction
of aristocracy and privileged classes
or as being a clear denial of the responsi
bilities of the president and heads ot de
partments to the people. He should take
occasion before the close of the session to
present his opinion on that subject. All
he wanted to state now was that no person
in Florida, whether democrat or republi
can, had been able to obtain an office under
the civil service law. The discussion
closed, the amendment was adopted and
the bill passed.
Sewell then took up the river and harbor
appropriation bill. Before the reading of
the bill was concluded Eustis. at 4:36. called
up the resolutions in connection with tht
death in this city on the 14th of March last

The man who caused all the trouble is a
rough character living in Lilly named Al
ger, and it was found that lie had taken
one of the horses from (lie quarantined
premises to his stable in Lilly and placed it
between two valuable horses. This animal
was also killed, and the board will prose
cute Alger. It will most probably also
prosecute the sheriff of Tazewell county
lor .refusing to do his plain duty under Un
law.

New York, June 30. The estimate was
made at the sub-treasury in this city to-day
that the engagements of gold lbr shipment
to Europe this week will amount to nearly
£3.000,000. This large amount of the
precious metal going out of the county at
this season of the year is attracting much
attention in business and financial circles.
A sub-treasury official gives the following
explanation: "It is easy enough to account
for the European demand for our gold.
During the past few weeks: the re ceipts f r
duty on imported goods at the custom
house have been unusually large. 'if
course the gold for the purchase of these
goods must go abroad. There is nothing
alarming or surprising in this state "f
alfairs. Certainly no occasion exists fi r
alarm. The shipments of gold will not
long continue as heavy as they are lbr tlie
week.”
