the schools. A number OF Senators Yester-
Gay presented petitions from their constit.
uency asking for the passage of the bill.
Representative Sayre yesterday intro
duced an Apportionment bill, providing
that the number OF Senators shall be fixed
at thirty and the Representatives at sixty.
The bill was no doubt introduced for polit-
ical buncombe, and was met with a motion
from Representative Gooding that il be re-
jected. Upon calling the roll several Dsmo-
Gratis voted with the Republicans, and the
motion was about to carry, wnen enough
members changed their votes 10 defeat IL,
and the bill wss referred TO the Committee
on Appointment. The bill will o. course,
be defeated, but IL would have bsen dis
courteous to reject il without reference and
upon this principle the Democrats voted
against the motion to reject.
