HE GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS BILL

Montgomery, Nov. 19.-(Special Corre- spondence.) )-There was evidently con- siderable lobbying done last night on the Governors mansion bill. This morning during the first hour of the session in the lower house, MT Wiley, of Montgomery, made motion to reconsider the bill, and the motion carried by a vote of 56 to 80; about the same majority which defeated the bill on yesterday. It seems now that the vote on the passage of the bill will be much closer than on its first considera- tion. The bill was referred back to the committee on appropriations and lively discussion is expected on it's re-appear- ance in the house.
 A resolution providing for chaplain al salary of $2 per day, whose duty it shall be to open the session of both houses with prayer each day, was re- ferred to to the committee on rules.
 MT. Waller, of Hale, introduced a reso- 1uton providing that the house shall convene every morning at 10 o'clock and adjourn a 2. The resolution was adopt ed. Of course the house will remain in session until o'clock only when business justfies the session being extended to that hour.
 Hon. A. Craig Smith, of Dallas, moved that the general appropriation bill be made special order for Monday at Il o'clock. Adopted.
 MT. Davis, of Marion, moved that two hundred copies of the appropria tion bill be printed for the use of the house and senate, and MT. Smith, of Dallas, moved that the motion of MT. Davis be laid on the table, as he thought the expense un- necessary. MT. Davis motion prevailed, with only two or three dissenting votes. MT Davis thought there had been some important changes made in the bill, and he considered it necessary for the mem bers to have the bill before them that they might vote upon it intelligently.
