GERMAN IN THE COMMON SCHOOLS.
On motion of Mr. COFFROTH, (under a suspension) the House took up the Senate amendment to his bill for German in the Common Schools-it adds the words, "physiology and history of the United States," and was concurred in.
On motions of Mr. OSBORN, the Senate amendments to Mr. Ruddell's bill [H. R 341] creating the 25th judicial circuit, providing for the election of a judge thereof, etc., were taken up. They propose to make the bill to include the counties ot Morgan, Johnson, Brown, Bartholomew and Shelby, and prescribes the time of courts n the 4th Circuit, and to change the title accordingly.
Mr. MITCHELL opposed the amendments, and insisted at length on the non-concurrence in the amendments-complaining of irregularity in the proceedings on this bill.
Mr. WILSON replied, supporting the amendments from the consideration that, if the bill fail, Johnson county will be left without a court.
Mr. OSBORN also replied to Mr. Mitchell.
Mr. NEFF spoke in favor of concurrency in the Senate amendments as the best arrangement, leaving Morgan county in circuit where she has formerly stood.
