 In pursuance Of former notice Mir. Rus 1 sell moved to reconsider the vote by which
 house bill No. 133 failed to pass.
 The motion to reconsider prevailed. Mir. Emmsrson moved to reconsider the
 vote by which the bill was ordered to a third reading. The moticn wns lost. f..f ( to grant state license to teachers, was read the third time. l Several members spoke for and against the bill. The discussion was of dilatory l character until Mfr. Hays arose and opposed
 the bill. He made an earnest argument against it's passage.
 Mir. McGhee was the next speaker recog- i nized, He said he was not surprised that the l gentleman from Nevada should oppose any thing that was possessed of merit or com
 mon decency. He regretted to have to
 handle man so scurrilous and indecent,
 and he wanted the papers to publish the fact that the gentleman from Nevada was
 the only man who had been called to order on this floor for using indecent language. Mr McGhee then read extracts from The Peoples Fri bune published at Prescott, in which the gen. tleman from Nevada had referred 10 mem bers in way which the speaker character ized as false and scurrilous, and declared that a man who would be guilty of writing such articles was an unworthy member. Mir. Hays attempted to rise in his seat for the purpose of interrupting Mir. Me- Ghee, but that gentleman, waving his hand, said: No, Mr. Speaker, I can t
 bear to be interrupted by man so in decent as him." and proceeded with his scathing remarks. He favored the bill, and, concluding, said: fin view of the fact that the gas bag, the great, notorious, unwashed P. P. from Nevada has seen fit to oppose this bill I hope every member
 will rise up to the situation an support | it.n
 | Mir. Leatherwood in the chair. l MT. Brodnax thought members should not allow themselves influenced by prejudice, but should vote from logical conclusions.
 1 Mir. Stewart said some members seemed | to attack every member of his party every time they said any thing. All such was
 beneath his notice. He was here to look after his people regardless of party, and he | opposed the bill.
 | The bill being upon its final passage Mir. Gates moved the previous question which was sustained, and the quession being shall l the main question be now put, the same | was agreed to. The question being shall I the bill pass the clerk called the roll, when the following voted in the affirmative, 38; | negative, 45.
 I So the bill failed to pass.
 Mir. Adams, who would have voted no. was fpaifed with Mir. Bledsoe who, if present, would have voted yea. Mir. Kirby moved to reconsider the vote by which the bill failed to pass and to lay that motion on the table. The motion to lay on the table prevailed
 Mir. McGhee moved that the house do now adjourn out of respect to Grover Cleveland, who was at this hour being in- augurated president of the United States of America at Washington, D. O., upon which motion
