SPECIAL ORDERS.
Senate bill No. ID, TO increase the salaries OF
Judges of the Supreme Court, was taken up.
1t was moved that the bill be ordered to lie and
made the special order for tomorrow afternoon
at 9 2 o'clock p. NJ.
Joint Resolution 10 relation to the appointment
of commissioners to devise ways and means for
the erection of an Agricultural College was tax
up.
Mr.. Cree said that it was well known that the
last Legislature had already accepted the grant OF
land, and had already appointed commissioners
to receive the land scrip, and it seemed necessary
that something more should be done. The terms
of the grant had only in part been complied
with, and we had already taken some steps, and
we could not with credit let the matter drop now.
He said that the State OF New York had al
ready taken steps to accept the grant OF the Gov
eminent, and they now had the college buildings
in the process of erection.
He said the first great object was TO effect
consolidation of all the colleges in the State.
Mr.. Eng esby said that he thought it was first
necessary to find out what the grant was worth
before we could ask other Institutions to unite
with it, lie thought that the commissioners that
were appointed last year, ought to be instructed
to dispose Of the scrip.
He said that he had understood that the best
lands in Iowa, Missouri and NJ nnesota had been
taken up and the scrip would probably be located
in the far West and it might prove Of far less
value than had been supposed.
Mr. Stoughton said that he thought the State
of Vermont could not undertake to sustain col
lege from this grant, and that could not legs-
late ineligibly until the worth of the grant was
ascerained; and upon his motion the resolution
was laid upon the table,
