President shannon Gagged.

The Missouri House Of Representatives, on the
22d of November, debated an day on an amend
ment to the State University bill, which contained
a provision that the President, Professors, and
Tutors Of the University should not preach or ex-
ercise the functions Of minister Of the Gospel
during their continuance in Office. Tho special
telegraphic despatch TO the Missouri Republican
says:
President Shannon was severely arraigned by
Mr.. Brown, of St. Louis, and many serious charges
were preferred Religious sectarianism and poll
tics entered largely into the discussion, and the
State University was charged with bcilg manu-
factory of Gospel preachers. There seems to bc'a
bitter animosity against President Shannon, and
the object Is to legislate him out Of Office"
The House adjourned without arriving at any
definite conclusion, and next day thc Esd Now
the debate was resumed, and a special despatch to
the Missouri Republican thus chronicles the result
JEFFERsoS CIrY, November Esd.
The House this morning resumed the considera-
ton Of the University BILL and speeches made
by Darnes, Murray, Blair and Bogy. The bill, to-
gether with the amendment proposed by the Re-
vising Committee, which prohibits the President,
Professors or Tutors from preaching, exercising
the functions Of Minister Of the Gospel or Of any
Of the learned professions, was passed by large
majority.
The ayes and noes were not called.
This virtually gags President Shannon, or viii
have the effect OF legslating him out Of his place.
