The Education Bill
again came up as unfinished business,
and after spending about an hour and
half on il, it's second reading was
brought 10 u close, 10 the great relief OF
all concerned. Ii was ordered to third
reading and engrossment after having
several amendments attached to it. One
by Mr.. Cox, provided that Cadets to
the University shall not be appointed
for less than two or more than four
years, and that there shall not be more
than three from each county. This gen.
tleman also proposed some further
amendments in relation to the govern
ment of the University, which were
adopted.
Colored Normsl Schools.
The following addition 10 the bill Off
cred by Mr.. Ferguson was adopted:
provided further, that the State Su-
Derintendent of Free Schools shall, II
possible, in each year, make arrange
nents with some suitable institution ot
learning in this State for the educa-
tiOn and normal school training of "a
number OF cOlored school teachers in
the proportion to the cOlored popula-
ton Of the State, which the non-paying
white students in the normal schools
bear TO the white population OF the
State; but the amount to be paid for
each OF said colored teachers shall not
exceed the sum specified for each non.
paying white student, and an addition
al sum to the extent necessary 10 pay
the tuition of said colored students, is
hereby appropriated, payable out OF the
treasury OF the State in each year as
provided for in the section upon the
requisition OF the State Superintend
ent."
What Shall We Do Hows
was the question that now agitated the
Legislative mind. Some wanted the
reading OF bills the second time to con-
tinue, sthers wanted bills read a third
time and others wanted bills taken out
OF their regular course and helped along.
This all occasioned considerable confu-
sion and during il all, Speaker Wilson
called Mr. Hubbard, to the chair. That
gentleman when he took tue g4vel put
the question whether bills that were en-
crossed should be read third time The
vote was, that such should be the pro-
gramme. Mr.. MotIett claimed that such
action could not be done without a sus-
pension Of the rules and he moved TO
reconsider, which was done, and after
some little talk, business was ordered TO
proceed with such matters as were on
thsir second readings.
Very Unexpectedly the first paper
taken mp was II. j. r. No. 5, which is
the
Constitutional Liquor Amendment
paper, introduced long ago, and on its
second reading. In order to explain
what was said afterwards, We print here
the resolution:
Rssoired by The Legislature OF Vest J'r.
giRid, t,rD thirds OF the piSmbers 'Lcted 10
each Ho1se coHcVrjnJ therein, That the
following amendment to article6 6 OF the
Constitution Of this State be and the
same is hereby proposed, to-wit' That
section As of article q OF the Constitu
ton, As il now is, be stricken out, and
the following inserted in lieu thereof:
40. The manufacture and sale OF in-
toxicatipg liquors shall be forever pro-
hibited in hniS State, except Tor medical,
scientific and mechanical purposes; and
the Legislature shall enforce this sec
ton by appropriate legislation"
Immediately after il had been read, Mr..
Leonard said that he presumed this
question had been
Settled for this Session
at Least, and with view of saving time
and avoiding useless discussion, as the
Senate had plainly indicated its puT-
pose, he would move 10 lay the same on
the table.
Mr.. Ferguson said he hoped that
vote could be had at this time and then
on the third reading OF the bill he him
self would move to lay on the table.
Then during the recess, the members
could canvass among their constituents
and at the next session II would he bet
ter known what to do on the subject.
Mr.. Leonardo renew my u JtiOn.
Mr.. Feryuson-I demand the ayes
and nays.
The vote was then taken several ex-
plaining why they voted ave. Mr..
Hubbard said that by ordering il to a
third reading, all discussion was closed
and as there might be an amendment
that ought TO be maie. MesSrS. Motittt

Senate seemed TO be conclusive of its
