Der of Representatives to-day, after fur
ther animated discussion, finally and by a
decisive majority voted to support the gov
ernment in its appointment Of Dedeker as
Governor of Limburg. An enormous and
excited crowd again gathered around the
Chamber and uproarously manifested
opposition to the government appoint
pOintment, but the presence of large po-
lice force prevented breach of the peace
during the day. After nightfall, however,
there were serious disturbances, which con-
tinued all the evening. Crowds invaded
the Ministry of Public Works, but were re-
PEELED by the police. Several persons were
injured in the melee. At midnight all was
quiet.

Interesting Tax Suit

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 23.-Capt. Mcguire, tax
collector of this city, yesterday levied on
forty-fve thousand dollars of State bonds
belonging to the Life Assurance of Amer
lea, to satisfy tax bill for thirty thousand
dollars, which the Assurance refused to pay
on the ground that it is exempt from taxa
tiOn. The Assurance sued out a writ of
replevin but Capt. Mcguire refused to obey it
on the ground that this tax bill was an execu-
tiOn in the hands of an officer for a State
lien, and the bonds were not subject to re-
plevin. Mcguire will come before the Cir
cult court to-day.

His Opinion of Ku-KIuX and Grant.
LITTLE Rock, ARK, Nov. PA Ga
zette reporter interviewed Senator Rice to-
day, who is just from Mississippi, where he
has been taking evidence as member Of
the sub-Ku-KlnX committee. He thinks
the committee will recommend the passage
by the Senate of the House amnesty bill.
Mr.. Rice announces that he favors universal
suffrage and universal amnesty. He says
the organization of the militia in this
State means no good; that the late
removals by the President of prominent
Republicans here will have the effect to
unite the wing of the party to which he be-
longs, and that, if the President would quit
interfering in the local affairs of the party,
there would be less probability of two Re
publican candidates for President being
nominated, in case the Democrats decide on
the passive policy.

THE SCHOOL. FUND.
Mr.. Tinman presented minority report
on House joint resolution respecting the
school fund. The report was signed by Messrs
Tillman, McGlll, Parker, Nowlin, Payne
and Eckle. 1t shows that the school fund
on the 9th of June, 1861, was Sl,500,00O,
and other sums arising from escheated prop
ertv and given by deed or will. The ma
jority and minority agree that there is now
actually and in fact no school fund. The
minority of the committee insist that the
school fund is the $l,500,000 originally set
apart for school purposes; that as no pro-
vision is being made prepayment of interest
on that amount, the minority insist that
a certificate shall be issued for that
amount and the Treasurer directed to pay
to the different counties according. to schOl-
astic population their respective proportion
of the interest on that amount. The MI
nOrity insist that there is now nothing but
confusion and uncertainty on the subject
Of common school fund, that while the
constitution of the State declares there is a
school fund and section first of the act
passed July Z, 1871, declares that the fund
set apart by the constitution including the
tax derived from polls shall constitute a
school fund, there has been no legislation
declaring the amount of the fund thus de-
clared by the constitution to be a school
fund The minority recommend the pas
sage of House bill No. 105 to declare the
amount upon which interest shall be annu-
ally paid for school purposes. That a
tax of three cents on the hundred
dollars worth of property will pay the in
terest, and that if the minority Of the
finance committee are correct in the esti-
mate that thirty cents will pay the outstand-
ing warrants, current expenses, and loan
accounts, then the tax of forty cents agreed
to by the House will be more than sufficient
to pay the interest on this amount of school
fund, in addition to the other expenses Con-
tempiated by the Finance Commit ee.
Mr.. Guild presented the report of the
majority of the committee, signed by Messrs.
Guild, Hinckle, Harris, Sheppard and Jones.
They recommend the rejection of House Bill
No. los, which authorizes that a certificate
of Indebtedness be issued for S1,500,0OO,
and that the Treasurer pay the interest on
