There are three pension bills in the days big grist. Two of these, by MT John, of Jefferson, and MT. Bulger, of Tallapoosa. directly provide for more liberal pensions to the Confederate Veterans and their widows. and an other. by MT. Arnold, of Calhoun, ex- empts Confederate soldiers and sail ors, and their widows, from taxation.
 There are three bills, also, upon the subject of roads. two of them being by Mir. Edwards of Washington. One of his measures provides for the gen. eral improvement of the public thor oughfares, and the other applies only to Washington County providing that the Board of Revenue of that county shall work the county convicts on the roads there. A bill by Mir. Henley of Escan1bia provides that all persons and corporations having persons in their employment must furnish a list of hands to do road duty.
 Would Reduce Interest Rate.
 There are. two interest bills before the Legislature. Bill No. 61. by MT. Bloch of Wilcox. would reduce the rate of legal interest to per cent, and No 6s. by Mir Cooper of Calhoun. in addi- ton to the present punishment for usury, makes 1t a misdemeanor to
 
 cent a week on loans.
 A measure in which considerable public interest will be taken Is No 41, by MT. Sherrod of Lawrence, evidently inspired by the large number of recent wrecks on the railroad systems of the country, due apparently to mistakes on the part of operators. MT. Sherrods 8 bill is designed to regulate the ern- pioyment of railroad telegraphers, and provides for a telegraphers' examining board to examine applicants for posi- eions as operators.
 There are many bills in the list which apply to the courts and to legal procedure and several have to do with the Incorporation. and the extension oi the corporate limits of municipalities, The grist was exceptionally large for so early in the session.
 Aside from the introduction of bills, and the canvassing of the vote cast at the recent election, there was little of public interest during the day. Repre- seutatives John of Jefferson and Bull ger of Tallapoosa, had a little tilt dur ing the day. but the oratory of the days proceedings was furnished by two out side speakers pr. T. s. Palmer of Washington. and Dr. J. N Mccormack of Kentucky. The members were too busy to talk.
 The session of the House Was oSered with prayer by Rev. MT. w R. Avery, Representative from Randolph. The roll showed eigthy-seve members pres- ent
 Immediately upon it's conclusion, a message was received from the Senate announcing that it was organized and ready for business. The Journal was approved without reading.

nothing to do but accept the shelter Of
