No. 80, the deficiency bill, duly en-
crossed.
AFTERNOON RECESS.
The House resumed Its sitting at 3
o'clock, with speaker Gibson and Il
quorum present.
Mr.. Patterson moved to amend the
bill, SO that county commissioners
courts do not have the power to
change the roads at present classed as
first class into inferior or third class
roads. Agreed to.
Mr.. Robinson moved, and it was
adopted, that where a number of par
ties reside within an enclosure, either
or all Of them may petition the COM
missioDers' court to provide road to
their nearest trading post, mills, gins,
church and school houses and county
seats.
Mr.. Swan moved to expunge from
the bill a clause providing that "no
part of a first class road shall be
changed to second-class, nor no Sec
ond-claSs to a third class road" on
the ground that it was surplusage and
unnecessary.
Mr.. Rogers favored the amendment,
and spoke against making too many
new roads at present. He did not
propose to place yoke on the
necks of the people which would
prove to be CALLING. and he asserted
without fear Of contradiction that the
rural sectionsof the state could not now
undertake 10 map out roadways that
would suit the public convenience five

Senator Gooch moved that both
bills and all the amendments be re-
committed to the committee on stock

The motion carried.
So that section one of the Terrell
bill and the foregoing Senate bill No.
80 and the amendments go to the

new bill. The first section of the
Terrell bill as amended is as follows:
Sc. 1. Be it enacted by the legisla-

closed school land in the county for

any county by one having stock
therein, for want of time before this
act takes effect, the owner of such
stock may avoid the penalty for VIC
lating this section by depositing witt
