TUESDAY, Feb. 70.
Mr.. Wilson, from select committee to

thorize company to build bridge across
the Missouri river near the AID parallel Of
latitude, reported back the same with some
amendments, which were adopted. Rule
suspended and bill passed. sx III
The Senate then went into committee Of
the whole ON the school bill, Mr.. Rankin in
the chair.
A motion was made to postpone the con-
sideration of this subject by MIR. Carter. ]
MIR. Saunders thought it best to put it OF
for the present, and let other matters OF
more immediate importance occupy the time
Of the Senate. The Board Of Education
would meet next winter, and the Constitu-
ton had made it the peculiar duty OF that
body to attend to these matters.
Mr.. Foster thought this poor time to
to be SO saving of time-he con
sidered this by far the most important meas
ure Of the session. i
Mr.. Grinnell wanted to know whether the
Senate intended to kill the bill by . pretext
Of lack of time. The School Bill had been
killed last winter by the same pretext, after
q great amount of labor had been expended
upon it, and If Senators wished this one to
share the same fate, he wished to know it.
tie did not take to himself any Of the merit
which belonged to this bill, but it embodied
the ideas of Hon. 7. II. Benton, Jr., of our
present Superintendent, Of Hon. II. Mann,
and Amos Dean, and added to this, all that
the School Committees, after much earnest
had been able to add to it. He
believed it to be an excellent bill, and it had
been so arranged that it could 20 into effect
this spring. The people were looking to
this General Assembly with more anxiety
upon this subject than any other. -
Mr.. Cattell earnestly hoped the Senate
would dispose of the bill at once. The COM
mittee had worked upon it day after day, and
night after night, to perfect it. He thought
it absolutely the duty of this General As
sembly to pass school law. If it did not,
we must remain under the old one, essen
TALLY for two years. His constituents ex-
pected the passage of q school law this win.
ter, and were anxiously petitioning Tor it.
They were not willing to await the action of
the Board. t..
MIR. Allen said he had not done much as a
member of the committee, and he therefore
felt free to say that this school bill was su-
perior to any school law he had ever seen.
1t seemed to him to possess the excellencies
Of the laws of all other States with few of
their defects. He considered the Senator
from Cedar, (Mr. CattelD who had spent SO
much of his time upon this bill from the com
mencemsnt of the session, as better fitted
than any other man he had ever known to
get up bill of this kind, and now that the
work was SO nearly completed, when the
people were anxlously expecting its passage
when every consideration seemed to demand
It, he was sorry to see an effort made to do
feat by prctext of want of time. He had
hoped that the difficulties had all heen met,
and that he should enjoy the pleasure Of
seeing the bill passed and nut into immedi-
ate operation. @
Mr.. Rankin thought the Senate had deci-
ded by vote some days ago, that It was
