SENATE NIGHT SESSION.
Appropriation for Mobile Medical
 College.

The Medical Department at Mobile of the University of Alabama was given $20.000 appropriation by the Senate at the night session.
 The bill was the special order for the night session. and Senator Goldsby of Mo- bile said that there is no state institu- tion in the country so poorly supported as the Mobile Medical College. The faculty of this institution receive actually no pay for their services. the buildings needed repair and the electrical and chemical ap- parati need replenishing.
 The college is highly recommended by the physicians of Alabama and should be supported.
 Senator Thomas of Barbour, spoke against the bill. He said that the State treasury had been touched too frequently by this Legislature and the time had come to halt. He spoke at length on the good work done by the institution in the past under the small appropriation and thought the same could be done in the future.
 Senators Oliver of Chiffon, and Jones of Wilcox, believed the institution worthy of better support, and announced them- selves as favoring the measure.
 Senator Powell of Butler thought that the increase should come out of the Uni versity appropriation and agreed with the senator from Barbour that the State treasury had already been drawn on suf- ficiently.
 Senator Rogers of Sumter answered Senator Powell that the State gives the University nothing, but is merely paying that institution a meagre interest on the debt made by the State years ago. The bill was passed. Senator NeSmith of Lamar. called uI and had passed the bill providing for the republication of the Alabama Supreme Court reports.
 The bill was discussed by Senators Ne Smith, Spragins and Powell. When the bill came up for the fina passage, difficulty was encountered in se curing @ quorum. The bill was finally passed.
 The Senate then passed a number of lo cal bills and adjourned until 10 o'clocl l this morning.
