COMMON SCHOOLS--COUNTY SEATS.
Mr. OWEN said the bill [H. R. 322-see pages 47 and 52 of this volume] concerning Common Schools was referred to the Committee before it was read, and it would be better to have the new matter pointed out by a Committee, and he would be willing to wait an hour to have that done. He moved to suspend the constitutional rule that the school bill [H. R. 322] may be taken up and read the first and second times by title.
Mr. BROWN moved to substitute the bill [S. 298] concerning the re-location of County Seats, and as a speech in support of this motion sent to the Clerk's desk and had read a petition signed he said, by many prominent citizens of Seymour, praying for the passage of this bill.
The substitute was rejected, as was also the motion to suspend the constitutional rule.
