The Senate proceeded TO the considera-
tion of the special order for IL A. M. to-
day, being House bill by Mr.. JEWETT-
Supplementary to an act entitled ian act
to provide for the reorganization, supervis-
ion and maintenance of common schools"
passed March IA, 1858; and the question be-
ing on the passage of the bill,
! Mr.. LINN stated that the general object
of the bill was practically to transfer the
benefit of the Mclntire Poor School Fund,
now yielding an income of about $4,000 a
wear, to the public schools of the city of
GAINESVILLE.
Mr.. REX objected to the bill that it
placed 6 portion of the common school
of the Trustees of the McIntire Poor
School, and beyord the control of the
Board of Education.
Mr.. BERRY read the bill to show that
it did not take away the control of any por-
tion of the common school fund from the
board of education of GAINESVILLE, but au-
| thoriZed the board to contract with the
trustees of the McIntire fund for the tuition
of children belonging to the public schools.
| in such way as to give these schools the
benefit of the fund.
Mr.. REX argued that, under the will of
McIntire, and the decision of the Supreme
Court thereon, the board of education of
GAINESVILLE could have no control of any
portion of the McIntire fund, and the
| trustees of the same could not transfer q
dollar of it to the common schools of Zanes-
vile.
Mr.. EVERETT argued at some length
that the objects of the bill could be ac-
/ s,L,o 90
OF the McIntire fund the control of any
portion of the common school fund of
GAINESVILLE, or violating the will of Mr.. Nc
Intire.
Mr. COREY was of opinion that no law
could be passed, changing the direction OF
the McIntire fund as given by the will of
the donor, and that what could not be done
directly, could not be done indirectly. The
Legislature had no right to authorize the
contract contemplated by the bill between
the trustees of the fund and the Board of
Education of GAINESVILLE.
On motion of Mr.. SIMMONS, the Senate,
at half past II, took a recess till 8 P. M.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The PRESIDENT pro tenn. called the
Senate to order at O'Clock.
THE ZANEsvILLE SCHOOL BILL PASSED.
The question pending when the Senate
took q recess, being on the passage of Mr..
Jewett's House bill supplementary to the
common school act, so as to allow the COM
mon schools of the city of GAINESVILLE to
avail themselves of the fund devised by
John McIntire for the education of poor
children in that city, being in the nature
of general law applicable tn all schools in
cities or towns similarly situated in regard
to poor school fund,
The vote was taken, and the bill passed

vision-c consisting of the counties of Ath-
ems, Washington, Gallia and Meigs-of the

special order for p. M. to-day, being
House bill to protect the citizens OF Ohio
from empiricism, and to elevate the stand
ing of the medical profession, and the bill
having been read the third time,
Mr.. GRISWOLD stated that the people,
as we'll as the members OF tine medical pro-
fession, seemed to be in favor of some
measure like that proposed by this bill.
1t did not aim to put down one school of
medicine and elevate another, but simply
to require that every practitioner of medi-
cine shall have medical education.
Mr.. COREY moved to refer the bill to
select committee of one with instructions
to amend by striking out the penalty for
second offense in violating the provisions
of the bill by imprisonment for thirty days.
Mr.. COREY advocated the proposed
amendment.
Mr.. r.GRISwOLDt thought 1t was as prop
er that practitioners In medicine should
| well as lawyers and clergymen.
Mr.. DOWDNEY was In favor, if the bill
was to become law, of striking out all
penalties.

lost.

committee of one, with instruction to

as to prevent grandmothers from admins
terng cat-mint to infants. The motion
was not agreed to.
| The question recurring on the passage of
the bill,
Mr.. DANGLER doubted whether the
people of Ohio were prepared for a meas
ure of this kind.

tect the people against quacks in medicine,

medicine.
