THE EDUCATIONAL BILL FAVORED BY MIS-
sIsslPPI.
WASHINGTON, Feb. A.--Mr. Van Wyck
called up, and the senate without debate
passed, a bill for the relief of the settlers
and purchasers of lands on the public do
main in Kansas and Nebraska.
The educational bill was then taken up,
and Mr.. Blair addressed the senate in re-
ply to the objections and criticisms made
against it. He denied that the people of
the south were opposed to the measure and
insisted that they favored it. a. ~. a. .~
Mr.. George said hat the house of rep.
resentatives of his state (AIississippi) had
passed resolutions requesting the United
States senator from Mississippi to sup
port this measure. Mississippi was not
here, however, Mr.. George said, as sup
plant for the national bounty; it regarded
the measure as generous offer from the
northern states toward removing the IL
literacy prevailing in the south. Mr..
George continued his argument at some
length, but finally yielded for an executive
session, after which the senate adjourned.
HOUSE.
THE HALF GALLON WHISKY TAX BILL
PASSED.
Mr.. Murphy, of Iowa, discussing the
Hennepin canal scheme, said the canal
should save the producers of the northwest
30 per cent of transportation rates.
The half gallon tax bill was taken up in
committee of the whole, and discussed pro
and con at length. During the debate, Mr.
Wise, Of Virginia, got into wrangle with
Mr. Brady, of Virginia, about the Fitz John
Porter bill, whereupon Morrison interposed
protest against irrelavent matter. After
some excitement the committee then
drifted back to the whisky discussion,
which resulted in reporting the bill to the
house and its passage without discussion
there. The house than adjourned.
