In,the House, the bin introduced by
Mr. Rohlfs, for the enactment Of a
license law was tabled, without being
even referred to a committee. Mr..
Rohifs asked its reference to a select
committee of its friends. This question
created considerable discussion. In,or-
der to test the sense of the House, in re-
gard to license law, Mr.. Bereman
moved that the bill lie on the table;
which motion prevailed by large ma
jority. Therefore, no license law will be
enacted during this session Of the legis-
lature. Pr 3t. Il ~ ~ .'. H.
The Normal School" bill caused quite
an animated discussion in the House,
and was finally "tabled'' by vote of Al
to "a. The main opposition to the bill
was on the ground of the expense that
the state would necessarily incur in the
establishment and support Of such a
school. 1t was claimed, that the State
could not well afford to establish any
new institutions at the present time.
The bill providing for a system of
Township Collectors in those counties
which may adopt it by resolution of
the Boards of Supervisors, having pass
ed the Senate, came up for consideration
in the House, OH Friday. After some
discussion, it was laid on the table. To-
day that vote was reconsidered, and after
the most spirited debate, which has oc-
Cured in the House during the session,
the bill was ordered to be cngrossed for
a third reading, by vote Of "A to AZ.
Its final passage is therefore extremely
doubtful; since it requires so votes in
favor to pass any bill. Z "'1
The House has been engaged nearly
all week in considering bills on their
second reading. Only one bill has been
passed by the House, and that was of a
local character. But next week many
bills will doubtless be passed, unless the
special orders occupy too much time.
The following bills have passed the
Senate: To authorize the transfer of the
Relief FUND.-" and the levying Of an
additional tax for that purpose, where
necessary ITO establish private roads
in the same manner as public roads :"
"To provide for granting the right of
way to open and drain coal mines; :"
ITO provide for the transfer of real cs-
tate, and to aid in the assessment of
taxes" and "To amend section 7s5 of
the Revision in relation to the erroneous
assessment of taxes"
The reconstruction question has occu-
pied considerable time and attention in
the Senate, Several members have de-
livered speeches, two hours in length,
on that vcxing question. The recon-
struction resolutions have finally been
referred to special committee And it
is sincerely hoped, that they will remain
in the hands of that committee until
after the Legislature adjourns.
The House does not require recon-
structing, and therefore has Not consid-
cred that very important subject.
A resolution has been adopted by the
House, providing that no bills shall be
introduced after the eth of this month,
except those introduced by committees.
This has reference to bringing the ses-
sion to close at the earliest day practi-
cable. 1t is not probable, however, that
the Legislature will be ready to adjourn
before the 1st Of April. Farmers will be
getting very uneasy before that time,
and business will be put through with
''r,,sh," toward the latter part of the
session. - 'tt'"-ste - rt't'-.
Aside from legislative matters, it
might not be improper to mention that
the Hon. J. A. Kasson, Congressman
from this District, is at present in the
city. His wife has applied for a divorce
Oh the ground Of conjugal infidelity, and
it is presumed that the gentleman is here
to attend to the interesting affair.
The Farmers Club, has had some very
interesting discussions OH the question
of woman suffrage Of.course the adj
vocates of the proposition, claim that
under the presant order of things woman
has no rights, but if she were given the
right to vote, the world would be puri-
fled and regenerated. But every one can
not see that such would be the result;
and therefore, we find those who oppose
it both on principle and policy.
It is expected that next week will
bring up the railroad question. The
questions Of resuming the land grants
will come up III the Railroad Committee
on Monday. It is hoped therefore, that
there will be something of greater inter-
