The first bill inroducel in the T* xas

and ninny bills have been introduced renting
in 9'ime way to railway companies. The
iiios' import-int, so f?r, however, is the one
creating a commission and oue requiring the
railroad corn pair cs to provido separate
coaches for white nnd colored passengers.?
Ves, there has been one other bill introduced,
which is *cy important to the lawmakers
themselves, and the object of that bill is
nothing moro nor less than to increase the
pay of legislators, notwithstanding it was

Only a few days ago at Dodd City, ia

asking the present legislature to pass a law
to pr d.i' it a poison not al lc to piove that
lie tind paid a poll tax from voting in any
c'ecton, which, in my liumb'e judgment,
would be a good lnv here, bocause we have
in this S'.atc many very smart Aleoks" who
go from (lace to p ace and tako largo etock
in all elec'iin'?, who never pay any poll tax
or any other tax?or their accounts either,
as to ilia'. By the bye, this reminds me
tint this State, with all of its boasted school

great s'niiipiiig ground for rascnls, aud a

I<a"t year's cotton crop was tbc largest

was le*s money realized out of it, in pioporti

same.

1 will ouly mention one which occurred in
the city of Fort Worth sometime ago: The
Batcman Brothers, wholesale grocers, fa led,
and when a sshcdule of assets and liabilities
was made, it showed the assets amounted to
$125 000, and tho liabilities were over
$400 000. They made a proposition to
settle with their creditors, by paying 20
cents on the dollar, which did imt exactly
