COLLEGE LAND EypoUEfEyr.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l3.-Tho voto in tho Senate,
today, on Senator Morriirs bill to provide for
the further endowment Of colleges for tho bene-
tit Of agriculture and the mechanic arts, indi-
Gated TINT tho Vermont Senator had not ovor-
estimated the situation in his statement that
three-fourths Of this body WAS in favor Of the
measure Before tho discussion Of the merits
Of the bill Was entered on, Er. Morrill, himsolf

original bill in several important particulars.

of the Treasury to ascertain the net amount of
sales of the public lands for the preceding fiscal
year, and invest the same in registered bonds,
or, at his discretion, may issue such bonds to
Buch colleges, returning the money to the
United States Treasury, instead Of causing
the Secretary Of the Interior to isaue 1aad-war-
rants where applications we're mndo as had pre-
vioualy been provided.
The objections to the bill came from Senators
Sherman, Thurman, and Hamilton Of Maryland.

larger States, they being placed on tic same
equality with the smaller. His amendment to:
include common schools among the benctlciaries
OF the grant was lost by the decisive vote Of Ga
to Q. 4 subsequent motion to refer
the bill to the Committee on Public
Lands VAS also yoted down By &c to i

Stewart, to the effoct thnt Nevada bo allowed to
