pra,ed was a m,r, rra,ui,y 4, be distributed in The same
manner with the Literary Fund. The enri,e basis Of dis
ti5linn would be changed by TIE amendment.
Mr.. YERBY said he felt smb, rrassrd by tho propo.i.
suon. yet he would be willing TO vote for 1t. il the sue
cess OF his resolution would thereby be promoted. Itm,ght
he in acrnri,uee with strict, ,,.,,,, o., AZ ,,,h,,. 81, find.
in the manner proposed, but this was nots mere question
Of cent per cent. lie believed the amendmen, contained
the seed OF death TO his resolution.
Mr.. EDSuSD' remarked that both branches in the Educa-
ton Convention recommended tho adoption OF a system
requiring each county to bear the burden OF the education
OF the poor within il. limits. This Amendment carries out
this intention. by providing that the money from the Trea.
sury shSli be d distributed in the ratio ef the revenue raised
In each county.
Mr.. SrKoTHER moved to lay the resolution on the table.
He thought the amendment objectionable. The object was
to distribute $4,000 among the counties in the same pno
poitIOG in which the revenue was raised. II was evident
that as unnecessary loss would be incurred in the collection
and disbursement OF this s~m. Ii would be better to re
qure eaen county 10 PROVIDE the means Tor itself. lie pre-
reteo passing oy the yarl'us propositions Tor the present

feroy as the corner stone OF any system that might be
