Special to the Appeal
JACKSON, March 19.-The house COLI
sidered the school bill to the third Sec
ton. This voluminous bill works radi-
cal changes in the school system, doing
away with large salaries and reducing
the number of officers. The present sys-
tenn is not noted for its success, and the
only recompense given to the public in
return for the money expended is the
amusement caused by the comieal at
tempts of aspirants to get large slices
out of the pie.
In the senate, after the Vienna bill had
met with so much favor and two COM
missioners allowed, great deal of fault
was suddenly found and the bill was
killed. Colonel Power and Captain
Fisher, the agents appointed by thego
ernor to collect articles for shipment
and the designated commissioners to
visit Vienna, have done the arduous
duty of collecting samples of the pro-
ductions of the State, and will probably
resign. Another bill will doubtless sue
ceed, but will tend more to be pull at
the State treasury and frolic for the orig
inatOr.
