uOn law. Inc friends of an inspec
ton law, labored in vain to have tn
repeating bill referred to the commit
tee on manufactures and commerce
but it was nc use, as it was apparen
that the feeling was so overwhelming
ly against it that a pOstponement wa
impossible, and so the bill which wa
run through in the very last hour O
the last session, was the firstone ealIeI
to judgment and banished from tn
statute book at this session..
NEW BILLS.
In the Senate % and the House 4
bills have been already introduced
One is for the repeal of the eight pc
cent. interest law; and another is II
repeal the Morgan raid claims law
another to increase the salary of tn
Governor to 5000, Supreme judge
5000, Judges of Common Pleas So, OO9
The Agricultural and Mechaniea.
College question, which dragged it
slow length through several weeks o
last winters Legislature, is to be bro
up again, a bill having been intrOduc'
ed in favor of establishing such al
institution. Mr.. CAssNA,a Democratic
member of the House, from Hardin
county, has introduced an important
bill on the subject Of the education OF
children. The bill requires the pa
rents and guardians of children be-
tween the ages Of seven and fourteen
years, to send them to a common
school for twelve consecutive weeks
in each year, or they may provide Pri-
waite instruction for that period. A
refusal to comply with the law, is to
be adjudged a misdemeanor, and may
be punished by a fine of SO to $50, or
three to twenty days in Jail.
The principal opposition to this bill
is likely to come from the Democrats.
A score of bills are on matters not
of general concern, hence I will not
give their titles here, but shall from
time to time keep the reader duly in
formed of all measures of importance.
HOUSE COMMITTEES.
On Tuesday the Speaker Of the
House announced the standing COM
mittees. In their formation the Re
publieans have a maiorityo of the prin-
committees, and have a majority
of the members of every committee
having political significance, save
one-the committee on Federal Rela-
lations-which is only possibly i'm
portant in the contingency of the 18th
Amendment being referred to it; but
the Republicans feel competent to the
tasko averting from the Amendment
all unnecessary embarrassment. We
