Am Obstruction.

Those who have paid any attention
to our legislative proceedings must
have become convinced, ere this, that
the State University and the Agricul
tural College are distractions in the
way of a great deal of necessary legis-
lation. Senator HUGHES seems to be
peculiarly successful in his efforts to
%confne the attention of the Senate to
two OF three matters in which he and
his immediate constituents T inter-
ested, to the absolute exclusion of
numerous bills in which the people of
the State are much more interested.
With his CUMBACK-BAKER CORE
spondence and his Omnibus Bill, he
has managed to consume nearly all
the time at the disposal of the Legis-
~lature, and has matters in such shape
now as to be able to defeat many bills
of great Importance, should the Sen
ate refuse to concur in his pet
schemes. We think the Senate owes
1t to the people, who have expected
better things Of il than it has thus
far accomplished, to shove the
HUGHES Omnibus Bill out of the
way. and devote its attention to mat
tiers of more pressing Importance.
The opinion is quite prevalent among
the people that Agricultural Colleges
are humbugs Of large proportions,
and that it would be far more eco
nomical for the State not to accept
the Congressional grant than to incur
the expense that will most certainly
grow out of its acceptance, and that
her educational interests will not de-
teriorate in the least because of her
refusal to accept the grant.
