ton of the $5t00O appropriation bill to employ counsel and experts for the railway commission, known as the war measure" consumed the greater part of the session in an endeavor 70 cut the appropriation in half.
 The opposition to the $50,000 ap- propriatiOn was led by Senators Simms, Watson and Carlock Their contentious against this section of the bill were that the appropriation was too large and that the needed expense could be covered with an appropria- tion of $25,0Oo. It was argued by the senators opposed to the section that Governor Donashey had asked for only $40.OoO, and that the bill raised his figures $1o,oo0 Also that if $50,- coo was appropriated the fees de manded by the attorneys and experts would be large accordingly.
 The s50oOo appropriation was sup ported by Senators Patterson, Me Knight, Logan, Keel, Dill, Turner and others. who argue dthat the stake being played for was millions, and that a reduction of the amount might tie the hands of the state authorities by depriying them Of the very tesi- money needed to win the suit.

 "lf, as an official, I have been gull ty of conscious delinquency, I am un- worthy public trust. and the people are giving me an office which I should not hold and of which 1 should be deprived"
 Governor Patterson in conclusion said:
 "'1 now invite any legal action in court, or in the senate sitting as a court of impeachment, to determine the truth or falsity of any charge that may render me unfit to be governor of Tennessee. If the charges are not preferred, or if they are and fail, I believe am entitled to ask, for the peace and honor of the state and in the name of decency, that this reckless defamation cease. Whether it does or not, as governor of Tennessee I shall pursue the even tenor of my way, un- dismayed by the froth of passion, un- deterred by the assaults of towards and calumniators

FAILED TO AM TEND
 THE WAR MEASURE
Arkansas Senate Tried to Cut Appropriation from $50 GOO to $25,o00-House assed Semi Monthly Pay Day Bill-Warm Tilt in the House-Dongs in both Branches of the General Assembly,

Little Rock, Ark, Jan 27.-~Tor the first time during the present session of the house personalities of rather pronounced type were indulged in in discussion on the floor this morning, when MT. Vim, of Pulaski, demanded to know of MT. Little, of Mississippi If a statement of the gentleman from Mississippi with regard to the aa- pearance of lobbyists about the state capitol had personal reference to the gentleman from Pulaski. The de- mand was made with considerable vlgor and several members of the house arose to points of order" questions of personal privilege, etc. adding confusion for several minutes.
 When the situation cooled down MT. Little calmly observed that he had made no personal reference to any one ill the house and that he inn pugned the motives Of no member of that body.
 More than that, M-. Speaker" ad- dei MT. Little. with emphasis, "I want to say that when l have occasion to make a personal matter of anything occurring in this body should it come to that, it will not be done on the floor of the house.
 With this remark he resumed his discussion of the bill. out of which mad grown the remark objected to by the Pulaski county gentleman, the bill providing a semi-monthly pay day for corporation employees.
 The discussion on this bill began al most with the convening of the house, and it was nearly Il o'clock before the bill was finally disposed of by passage by vote of S4 to T.
 During the morning the debate was at times acrid. Mr. Parks, of Lafay- cite, objected to a reconsideration of the bill by the committee or the plac- ing of it back on it's second reading, as had been moved by MT. Monroe, of Hampstead. He wanted the bill passed immediately.
 Mir. Monroe argued that the bill was one of great importance and ac- ton in it's consideration should not be hurried, for which reason he pro- posed that it go back to it's second reading. The suggestion was made that the change from one to two pay days per month would work great hadrship and added expense to cor porations such as railways, mills. etc.
 MT. Parks remarked that he had heard it stated that the double pay day would cost the Iron Mountain Railway $8,000 more per month than the pres ent system. However, he declared, it made no difference if it were $S,000 or $8,O00, 900 more they would have to pay per month, if the employees were
 entitled to their pay they should have 1t twice month.
 The house also passed the bill by MT. Newton, of Lonoke, prohibiting the manufacture. sale or ownership in Arkansas of toy pistols that shoot blank cartridges, etc., with appro- priate penalties for it's violation.
