and The question required upon feadlns Inc ryoer
offered bv Mr.. TAYLOR The ryder provides,
that 1890 dollars lie annually appropriated out of
the Literary Fund for the permanent endowment
Of the University, and that the act appropriating
$4,000 dollars annually 10 The University De re-
pealed.
MIR. TAYLOR considered his proposition fair
ia all respects, and he wished 10 attain his object
in the only practicable mode al this period OF the
session.
MIR. EDMUNDS thought this an improper
mode OF legislation. II this amendment should
be objected 10 BY The Senate, the Senate would be
compelled either TO accept il, or defeat The appro-
praiion bill. The repeal OF the law making an
appropriation 10 the University could only be at
tained BY separate act. This method Of lesis-
lation had led 10 the most injurious results in
The Congress Of the United States.
MIR. FOX was in favour OF the amendment as
an independent proposition. but opposed 70 lis in
corporaion in the appropriation bill.
MIR. MCPHERSON understood that the com
m,tee had recommended The education Of thirty
TWO students at the University free OF charge,
and be would therefore vote against The ryder.
The question being put upon reading the ryder
a second time, was determined in the negative
