DALLAS.
A Democratic Wrangle—Tramps—Davis
Goes to Washington—Fears for
Rnssell and Norton.
The Troubles of the Chicago, Texas and
Mexican Central Thicke n.
Special to the Democrat-advance .
Dallas, Tex., March 21,1882.
The Democratic candidates nominated
tor alderman in the first and fourth wards
refuse to run, for business reasons. In
the second ward the party split, after two
nights convention, which resulted in the
nomination of James Maroney, already
nominated by the C'tizen’s convention,
which was conducted by Republicans and
Greenbackers. Maroney is a Simon pure
Democrat, and so announced in the city
papers. The Democratic bolt, nominated
John Spillman, who will be supported by
the extreme liquor interests. It is feared
now that the Republicans will endeavor
to profit by the Democratic wrangle, and
support a straight out party man.
Precinct No. 2, of this county, adopted
prohibition by a large majority. The pro-
hibitionists have abandoned the move-
ment for a contest in the balance of the
county.
The trial of R. E. Cowart, charged with
the murder of J. M. Thurmond, has been
set for the second day of May.
The city is overrun with tramps, thrown
out of employment by the discontinuance
of a great amount of railtoad work. The
authorities are running them out, as they
can get plenty of labor on farms and
plantations, work on which is greatly be-
hind on account of the wet winter and
spring. o
Beautiful weather now, and farm pros-
pects are brightening up.
The Republicans here are much exer-
cised at the departure of Ex-Governor
Davis to Washington. All concede that
Marshal Russell, of the eastern district, is
doomed to removal as soon as a report of
the investigation by special government
agents is made known to the department
of justice, and it is feared, with Davis as
the recognizeed administration leader,
that Marshal Norton, of the northern dis-
trict will be removed. Davis and Norton
mix like oil and water. Norton’s friends
are more anxious to-day than ever.
Dallas, March 20,1882.
General manager Odell and Chief En-
gieer Graham, of the Chicago, Texas and
Mexican Central railroad, forwarded their
resignations by mail to-night to head-
quarters, Chicago. It is not positively
known why they did so, but the compa-
ny have been financially embarrassed for
three months, and the loc^ office has been
the scene of much annoyance from credit-
ors. A few days ago A. F. Bennett, sec-
retary ot the company, arrived from Chi-
cago, tor the alleged purpose of settling
the company’s indebtedness, but as yet
no money has been shown up, and the
creditors are very much surprised and
dissatisfied. The resignation of Odell and
Graham are attributed to their being
virtually ignored in their respective
capacities by Mr. Bennett. Things are so
unsatisfactory tlat Messrs. Adams &
Schneider, resident directors, are threaten-
ing to resign. A number of the heaviest
creditors inform your correspondent to-
night that it their claims are not satisfied
within the next week they propose start-
ing legal proceedings, and express a de
termination to apply to the Federal court
for a receiver.
Ex-Governor Hubbard, of the Texas
and St. Louis Narrow Gauge, is in the
city, in the interest of that corporation.
He speaks in the most glowing terms of
its prospects.
At the Democratic city convention to-
night, C. G. Green was nominated for city
assessor and collector. The convention
was as harmonious as a harp.

gate, tor the year, from the first of Sep-
temher 1880, to the 31st of August 1881,

tion. cars, engines, buildings, etc., $150,-

fessed his guilt, and implicated Jacob
Johnson, colored, who he claims was the
instigator of the crime. Both were bound
oyer .by the recorder to the criminal
court.
It is now thought that Wahlendenburg,

rival ot the sheriff of Bell county.
Merchants are now doing a good busi-
ness in furnishing stockmen’s outfits for
the spring round up.
Young cattle here are in active demand,
at three dollars per head, or thirty per
cent, more than at this time last year.
A cold norther, with light rain, blew
here last night, and overcoats have been
worn all day. With a clear evening and
cold, the prospects now are good for frost
to-night. Otherwise the crops, early veg-
etables and fruit are very promising.
Good progress is being made by the
Santa Fe construction corps.
The Watery Waste.
New Orleans, March 21.—A Vicksburg
special says a heavy wind and rain storm
visited here last night. A strong north-
west wind is blowing to-day, producing
heavy swells on the river, which, it is
leared, will cause new breaks in the lev-
ees.
The steamer Hattie Corny, from Deer
creek, brings 350 head of stock from L. A.
Campbell’s plantation.
At Shreveport, the water is seventeen
inches on the plantations.
Large numbers of refugees, mostly col-
ored laborers, are at Mayesville, being
supported by the planters. They will be
ready to go to work as soon as the water
falls.
Duckport continues above water; plant-
ing commenced near there yesterday.
The wharf and elevator platforms were all
afloat this a. m.
The Tallahatchie and upper Yazoo
rivers are declining rapidly. The section
on these rivers which suffered most is be-
tween Bolonia and Yazoo City,where the
loss of cattle is big. There are a large
number of acres of land free from water
on Rosebank, Egypt, Shell Bluff, Glen
Oak, Oakwood, and a number of other
plantations in Yazoo.
At Greenwood the water is falling,
though the place is still under water, and
the courthouse is filled with people.
New Orleans, March 21.—A Baton
Rouge special says Gen. York, the agent
appointed to distribute forage, telegraphs
the governor from Troy, Louisiana, re-
porting the distribuion of forage back of
the river, and says the country is in fear-
ful distress. There are 350 head of stock
on Black, Tensas and Little rivers that
must be fed to save them. The corn and
oats shipped by the steamer St. John will
be distributed to-morrow on Tensas river,
Gen. York advises the shipment of forage
for stock in all the streams above men-
tioned, and also on bayous Macon and
Bartholomew. He reports the liver rising
rapidly, and says he has chartered a
steamer to remove stock.
Little Rock, Ark., March 21.—Dis-
patches were received here this morning

Mississippi, caved in into the Mississippi
river last night. Several stores were
washed away. No particulars have been
received.
New Orleans, March 21.—Officers of the
steamboat Hannah, from Ouachita river,
reports an abatement of the water at
Trenton, but it is rising in Tensas river
and bayou Macon, these being the first to
receive crevesse waters from the Carroll
and Madison parish. The crevasse re-
ported to-day in the Alsatialevee will add
greatly to the flood of water already delug-
ing the country between bayou Macon
and the Mississippi river, and from the
mouth of Red river to the Arkansas line..
Vicksburg, March 21.—Gov. Lowry ar-
rived to-day from Jackson, and sent a

Vicksburg, Miss., March 21.—The
United States steamer Emma Etheridge
arrived here at 5 p. m., and brings news
of the break ot the Alsatia levee, in
Thompson’s bend. This is regarded as
the worst break which has occurred south
of Helena on the Louisiana side.
J. B. Johnson, assistant engineer of the
Mississippi river commission, states that
from Alsatia to Goodrich, a distance of
one mile, there are three breaks, all seri-
ous. The breaks occurred at A’satia,
Artie and Mrs. Savage. The entire levee
to the Bell place is gone. It is impos-
sible to tell the depth of the break
at Alsatia. The breaks have caused a fall
in the river at this point. This occurred
at four o’clock this morning, and were
caused by the heaw storm which prevail-
ed at that time. The fall of water over
the levee is about seven feet.
Dr. Chalmers beautifully said:
“The little I have seen in the
world and know of the history of
mankind, teaches me to look upon
their errors in sorrow, not in an-
ger. When I take the history of
one poor heart that has sinned
and suffered, and represent to my-
self the struggles and temptation
it has passed through—the brief
pulsations of joy, the tears of re-
gret, the feebleness of purpose,
the scorn of the world that has
little charity, the desolation of the
soul’s sanctuary, and threatening
voice within, health gone, happi-
ness gone—I would fain leave the
erring soul of my fellowman with
him from whose hand it came.”
CONGRESSIONAL.
Proceedings of the Forty-Seventh
Congress—First Session.
Washington, March 21.—House.—At
12:10 this morning a final roll call was
ordered, and no quorum being present,
an understanding was reached that after
the reading of the journal to-day the
house would proceed to vote on the propo-
sition submitted by Hewitt, of New York,
namely, making the Geneva* award ” bi. 1
the special!; “order for April 11th, "and
thence from day to day till disposed of,
but not to interfere with revenue, and ap-
propriation bills, the tariff commission
bill, and the bill referring private claims
to the court of claims. The house then,
at 12:45, adjourned.
Washington, March 21.—House.-Ac-
cording to the agreement made at the end
ot last ni ht’s session, the house proceeded
to vote upon the compromise of Hewitt,
making the Geneva award bill the special
order tor April 11th. subject, however, to
the tariff and appropriation bills, and the
bill referring private claims to the court
of claims. The resolution to this effect
was adopted. Yeas 162, nays 55.
Gibson, of Louisiana, presented a tele-
gram received from the relief commission
at New Grleans, giving a statement of the
destruction caused by the overflow of the
Mississippi river, and declaring that the
supplies of rations received from the de-
partment had been exhausted, and that
the commission is in receipt ot additional
demands for fully 300 000 rations.
In reply to a quesiion by Cox, of New
York, Mr. Page, ot California, stated that
he would call the previous question on the
Chinese bill to-morrow at three o’clock,
and the morning hour having been dis-
pensed with, consideration of that bill
was resumed by the house.
McClure, ot Ohio, contended that con-
gress not only had the power to pass the
bill, but that its provisions were express-
ly warranted by the Chinese treaty. He
favored the passage of the bill on the
ground of expediency, and in conclusion
asserted that the Republican party was
committed to the principle of this bill,
the freedom of labor. It should not now
turn its back on its battle flig, its old war
cry, and its platform, as mere clap trap,
and be recreant to its prompt trust. He
hoped to see the Republicans stand by the
white labor of the Pacific states, against
the dishonorable competition of Chinese
labor, and he could vote for the bill with
a clear conscience. [Applause.]
Senate.—George presented a memorial
from the Mississippi legislature for aid to
rebuild the levees.
Hoar offered a resolution, which was
adopted, calling on the president for the
instructions given early in 1880 to the
minister to China, Greene Seward, con-
cerning Chinese immigration, and the
modification of existing treaties relating
thereto, with the correspondence between
Seward and the state department relating
to said subject.
Call presented a petition from citizens
n f Florida for mail facilities on the Gulf
coast.

was taken up, and the senate committee
amendments were agreed to without de-
bate. They insert in it $3,500 ior the con-
strucrion of a pontoon train, $10,000 for
contingencies for the superintendent of
the academy, and $5,000 for a swimming
booth for the use and instruction of ca-
dets.
The bill was then passed.
The senate then resumed consideration
of the tariff commission bill, and Morgan
addressed the senate^ upon the necessity
of prompt tariff revision by committees
of congress, in preference to the commis-
sion plan.
The remainder of the day’s session was
taken up by the Chinese bill, several mem-
bers speaking on both sides of the ques-
tion. The bill then went over without ac-
tion. Adjourned.
Morgan criticised the dilatory course
ot congress in taking action, apd said he
would have voted for a commission if so
long a period of inaction had not elapsed.
VanYVyck secured the floor, but yielded
temporarily, and the bill was informally
laid aside for general business.
On motion of Brown, the house bill es-
tablishing district United States courts,
with separate officers, for the northern
and southern districts of Georgia, was
passed.
Adjourned.
The Lawrence Strike.
Lawrence, Mass., March 21.—This
morning the strikers showed signs of
weakening, and about forty returned to
work. Later in the day, a meeting was
held and a union formed. The agent of
the Folney mills is in the city employing
some of the striking spinners. This en-
couragement from elsewhere, and the for-
mation of the union, stiffened the strikers,
and correspondingly alarmed the mill
men, and matters have taken a serious
turn. The corporation propose to close
the entire works. This will throw 5 000
persons out of employment for an indefi-
nite period.
Through a Bridge.
Des Moines, lo wa, March 21.—The first
train which attempted to cross the new
bridge over Middle river, on the Des

three Nihilists in whose behalt Victor
Hugo had pleaded. On learning the news,
Victor Hugo toasted the czar.
Injured by a Falling Building.
New Orleans, March 21—While a num-
ber of workmen were raising the frame
work ot a building for the New Orleans
and Pacific railroad at Gouldboro, the
wind blew a portion of the standing work
down upon them. Four men were more
or less severely hurt, one fatally.
Proposes to Make Them Elective.
Washington, March 21.—Pendleton in-
troduced in the senate to-day, a constitu-
tional amendment providing for the elec-
tion of postmasters, marshals, district
attorneys, etc., by the people of the dis-
tricts in which such officers’ duties fie.
Suspended Operations.
Washington, March 21—The steamship
line plying between New York and Porto
Rica, have given notice of suspension oi
direct communication, because of the
high differential tariff in Porto Rica in fa-
vor of vessels under the Spanish flag.
Shipberd Before tbe Gommittde.
Washington, March 21—Mr, Shipherd
appeared before the committee on foreign
affairs to-day, and presented a copy of the
three missing letters. After looking
through several envelopes, he said there
must be something wrong about it. He
could not find the letter of May 21. He
stated it was addressed to the president,
and as he had been informed by letter
from his secretary, J. Stanley Bremer, was
referred to the department of state. The
letter of May 25,1881. was then read. It
was to Hon J. G. Blaine, and showed
that on the 21st he (-'bhipherd) had trans-
mitted to the president duplicates of the
enclosures which he presumed would be
referred to the department of state. These
enclosed were to be handed to Hurlbut in
his (Blaine’s) discretion, and at the prop-
er time. He stated that he would be glad
to be summoned to Washington, before
Hurlbut and Kilpatrick’s instructions
were prepared. Shipherd was questioned
as to the enclosure mentioned, lie said he
had not made copies,as the originals were
in the’department of state. The principal
enclosure was the prospectus of the Pe-
ruvian company.
Letters of May 31st and June 4th, were
also produced. Both were addressed to
the president, and were merely a formal
statement of the interest lying in the en-
closures, which were found in the corres-
pondence already printed.
Shipherd was cross examined as to in-
terviews with Hurlbut, before he went to
Peru. At one of the same held in New
York, Hurlbert told Shipherd he had been
sent to tell the latter the president regard-
ed his case as strong in law and equity as
it could possibly be, but that it was unfor-
tunate Peru should be in such a deplorable
condition. He added that the prime condi-
tion on which the president would consent
to act, would be that the claim would be
put in such shape that it would not im-
pose a hardship upon Peru, but should be
remedied, and should enable Peru to pay
her indemnity, and get out of her trouble
with Chili. If that would be done, the
government would heartily endorse the
scheme. He further said this claim must
not be pressed upon Peru in any Shylock
spirit. I (Shipherd) replied that we ex-
pected the United States to assist only, as
the affair could command the approyal
of every fair-minded man. I
asked him if the secretary of state
had given him the papers I had alluded to,
and he replied, “no sir; I know nothing
of your scheme. I am only telling you
what I have been instructed to do?” In
speaking, Hurlbut used the term, secreta-
ry of state, but always used the somewhat,
vague term, the government, the execu-
tive, or the United States. He desired
as lull an account in writing of our plans
as I could give him. He would read them
with great pleasure. He said Peru ought
to have help at the earliest moment, and
I hope you will propose your plans as
earnestly as possible.
Shipherd then made a general statement
to the effect that he never imagined it
would be necessary to buy any man, and
never intended to do so. He did, however,
feel that it was necessary to prevent Hurl?
but from taking any position which might
be violently opposed to their company.
Shipherd was asked “‘Did you think Huri-
but could be purchased?’ and replied
most emphatically: Mr. Chairman, Did
you proceed to purchase him, I an-
swer, no, sir; simply to prevent
him from setting himself-viciously and de-
terminedly against the United States. I
recognize the fact that it would be neces-
sary to assure him that it would in the
future result advantageously to himself
or friends if he did not oppose us.
Shipherd was then questioned in regard
to his interviews with Secretary Blaine,
and replied: The interview took place at
Blaine’s residence, in this city, ou the
eveuing of June 25th. It lasted until a
late hour, and was resumed the next
morning.
When asked who was present at that in-
terview, Shipherd said, a United States
senator, whose name I do not feel at lib-
erty to mention, because he had been in-
formed that in an investigation of this
kind it was necessary to be very careful
about mentioning names of members of
the house or senators. He said further
that this interview was brought about by
the good offices of the before mentioned
senator.
_Tue chairman suggested that Shipherd
give the features of the interview with
Blaine, and at present waive the question
of what senator was present.
Destructive Tornado.
Cincinnati, March 21.—A Lexington,
Kentucky, special says a tornado passed
over the northern part of the city yester-
day morning, unroofing many houses and
demolishing the round house Of the Louis-
ville and Nashville railroad. One man in
the house was severely, if not fatally in-
jured. There was great destruction of
property in the track of the tornado.
A heavy rain fell here fast night. The
gauge at the signal service office shows a
fall of 2 and 55 100 inches within twenty-
four hours, most of which fell between
eight and nine o’clock.

Washington, March 21.—At the mee
ing of the cabinet, the court martial »
