nr1TE I'M ACCORDANCE.


The following which we CLIP from the Re-
..ns,an CTenn) Banner, is qui'e in accord
-. with that spirit which seems unanimously
: ,.,v,ds the TORY PARTY in this coun-
,,.--mmely, to suppress anything that hap
-, 70 conflict with their own views, to pre-
l,,, an honest inquiry into those matters
,s.b nav or may not be for the public good,
,,ltotake from the people the right, intended
abe secured to them, by the constitution, Of
choosing for themselves;
A most novel, extraordinary and
d;sreputable proceeding on the part Of
Mr. Speaker Thomas was witnessed
I,st might in the House. AT the close
Of The discussion ON the nominating
resolutions, Mr.. Buchanan offered
IN lieu Of those resolutions the follow
ing:-
Res0lge9, That we have full conf
dsnce in the intelligence and patriotism
ofthc people, in the selection they may
Wish to make Of candidates to fill the
Offices of President and Vice Presi-
dent Of these United States.
Seeing, we presume, that this Ieso-
luton, if voted upon, would place the
majority in an unpleasant altitude, the
Speaker Of the House called the mem
bsr from Henry to the Chair, and
announced his intention of offering an
amendment, provided the House would
give him time to prepare it. Time
having been allowed him, he, the
Speaker Of the House, offered the fol-
loving:
RESOLVED, That the amendment off,
cred by the member from Lawrence
is offered to embaTrass the majority.
The Speaker was proceeding to Offer
somoremarks in favor oGhis amendment
when he was called TO order by the
member from Lawrence, on the ground
that the amendment offered by the
Speaker was out Of order, as being
irrelevant TO the subject under discus
sion and as imputing motives TO him,
demember from Lawrence, by which
Ecwas drfrombeing actuated.
After a few minutes, the Speaker
resumed the Chair, aud pronounced
bis own amendment to be out o
order
We venture to say that conduct 81
dl3reputable, on the part Of a Speake
Of a representative body, is unprece
denJed in the annals of legislation
The history Of Tennessee Legislation
may be searched in vain for such al
outrage on the rights Of members ant
sogross a violation of the duties Of tn,
Chair. hremained for the Van Burel
Speaker Of a Van Buren, House @
Representatives to bring this stain upo
The character Of our legislative proceed
ings.
Finding that the amendment of til
member from Lawrence could not b
otherwise got rid Of, the majorit
sprung the prcUiors question, and pass
ed the resolutions nominating Mr.. Va
Buren, and Col. P ok by strict part
vote.

MISSISSIPPI FEMALE COLLEGE,

A T the last session of this Institution, the
m following resolutions were adopted by the
Board of Trustees, which will continue in force
the ensuing session:
RESOLVED, That the board of each young lady
be 800 per session of twenty weeks, TO be

This sum is intended to include room, bed
ding, fuel, washing, aud all other contingent
and extra charges connected with the boarding
department.
Resolued, That the prices Of Tuition be as
follows:

This Department embraces all the studies
usually taught in the higher schools.
ORNAMENTAL DEPARTMENT.
Music, including the use ofthe Piano, $40 90
Needle Work, Is 90
Drawing and Painting, Is 90
Painting In Oil, % 90

1t will be perceived from the foregoing reso-
lutions, that the rates of boarding and tuition
| have bern chang6oAf6m the former prices
This course the Trustees have been obliged to
adopt They have employed competent and
| efficient instructesses, who must be literally
compensated, and the resources of the institu-
ton are the only fund from which that CON-
pensatioa should be drawn. Hitherto this fund
has proved insufficient.
The rates which are now established, both
for board and tuition are such as are adopted
III other and neighboring schools, and are such
as the necessities ofthe College demand.
Resolued, That no young lady be admitted
as student in the College till the aciole tut
