WASHINGTON, Jan. Z, 1886.
J. G.. BENNETT


The proceedings in the House to-day indicate
an explosion-especally the speech Of Mr.. Stetson.
He is not alone in his preference of the Constitution
to Texas, under the rule of strict construction
But we shall see what we shall see, and if they
don't annex, for the present, to Texas, it will not
break up the Government. Although we do
want that fine country destitute, though il be, Of
water and timber in the centre, and aboundng
with the black vomit and yellow fever, as it does
n the East, with any quantity Of Camanche Indians
on the Western frontier. Truly, it will require a
stretch oi the Constitution to annex us TO such
glorious country as that. But we must have it,
If II costs a lawsuit.


Mr.. Gushing appeared in the House to-day,
shaking hands with us ALL His hair seems TO grow
out (ike Sampsons) since he left the Philistines
of the House, and he looks much better in health.
Mr.. R. Owen will have to give up all idea of
starting here an indiscriminate right of property,
and a free and misce elaneous intercourse of the
sexes, as the utimatum OF refinement and civili-
zation. 1t won't begin TO be heard, Master Robert
