THIRTY-SIXTH DAY.

In the Senate the main question OF
the day was the bill for the support and
maintenance of the University of Missis-
sippi.
All the amendments suggested by the
Finance Committee were agreed to
eventually, Notwithstanding weak at
tempt to filibuster.
This is very important matter, in
view of the conditions now prevalent In
this state The bill forbids any trust
or combine making any contribution to
the campaign fund of any candidate. 1t
also makes it unlawful for any candi-
date to begin canvass before August L
of the year preceding the election; for
a candidate to promise any office to any
person in exchange for votes or as re-
ward for work in his favor, etc.

THIRTY-FOURTH DAY.
House.

The most complete surprise of the day
in the Legislature was the passage by
the House, by vote of 63 to &c, of the
Quin elective judiciary bill. The surprise
lay not so much in the passage of the
bill as for the fact that it was directly
in opposition to the recommendations OF
the Governor in special message sent
to the two houses The debate on the
bill was interrupted by the reading of
the message, yet the advocates were
able to keep their forces well in hand,
and contrived to win out on the first
round. The feature of the bill that en-
gendered the most opposition was that
which seemed to invade the constitutions
ally provided prerogative of the Gov
ernor, as it provides that whosoever may
be nominated as judge OF chancellor must
be recommended to the Governor as the
peoples choice, and he would forthwith
be expected to appoint that individual.
A resolution was presented by Mr..
Stanton and referred to the Committee

their ignorance or ulterior design.
Senate.
The Senate passed the State normal
bill by vote of "a to 10. This was just
one more vote than was necessary to give
the measure clear majority of all the
Senators, but it was sufficient. There is
no telling what the House will do to it,
Rs that body is said to be the low pres
sure stronghold. The bill provides for
al appropriation o. 100000.
1t was an all-day session of the Sen
ate, the bill having come up early, and it
was only at lunch time that vote on
recommittal was held in order, that the
suggested amendment might be better
studied by those in charge of the meas
ure.
