the decision are of equal value to-day.
The decision affects no honest or col-
lectable indebtedness—it simply af-
firms the universally accepted theory
of tbe constitution.

The visitors from the northwest left
this morning at seven o'clook for El Paso,
and intermediate points. They were
In excellent spirits, and overflowing
with admiration for the Prairie Queen

with while here. There was no fault
found, but the opinion was freely ex
pressed that our city would be none the
worse for two or three more good hotels
The party have not yet determined what
route \ylll be taken for the homeward
trip, but it is believed .Snn Antonio, Aus-
tin and other cities will be ''taken in."
Up to this time the utmost success has
attended the tourists, and It could hardly
be otherwise when the character of the
equipments, and the executive ability
of the experienced inen In charge of it
Is taken into consideration. The Dkmo
chat wishes them continued enjoyment
on their trip, and a safe return to their
liomes.

grossest contempt of court, and fined
him $100.
Belford having returned, tbe court In-
quired what be he had said, and Bel.'ord
repeated it with emphasis.
'•This Is a contempt of court," ex-
claimed his honor, "and the court im-
poses a fine of $100, and you Btand com-
mlttrd until it is paid."
"1 will pay $500,'' retorted Belford de-
fiantly, but no man shall stab iny char-

"This Is a degre« of impertinence and
indolence which tbe court will not per-
mit to take place in its presence!" in-
dignantly exclaimed his honor.
School Oeasus.
The school superintendents recent-

congress to | um the bill appropriat-

strong tooling in congress that tho
bill hIiouIJ be passed at this session.
In connection with it, the census
bureau fui-nislies some interesting
statistic*, from which I solcct those
having a loc al application to Texas.
In Texas tho number of males

I whites number 88,085; tho colored
' 50,660. Tl.o total population ten
yours of ago or over who cannot
road is 256,223. In tho sluto the
total population ton years of ngo and
over who cannot' write is 316,482,
divided as follows: White, 123,012;
colored, 102,520. Should tho bill
pass the proportion allowed to Texas
upon the basis of iifiteracy would be
9507,105.00, or nearly us much as
ihe ochool fund furnished by tho
state.—Washington Correspondent,
