JUROR QUALIFICATIONS.
Mr. Overstreet's bill [S. 20] relating to the qualification of Petit Jurors was read the third time.
Mr. HENRY said the bill was the re-enactment of a law of 1875 or 1877. There is a question whether it is in force or not. This law is held to be repealed by implication.
Mr. FOULKE objected to the emergency clause.
Mr. BELL thought the provisions of this bill commends itself to everybody. It strikes at the professional Juror, who, under this bill can only get one strike a year at you anyhow.
Mr. OVERSTREET spoke a few words in favor of his bill, inaudible at the reporter's table.
The bill passed the Senate-yeas, 39; nays, 3.
The Senate Committee on Invitation appeared with the Mexican veterans, who were received by Senators standing. General Mahlon D. Manson, the Preside of the Association, responded to the welcome address of the Lieutenant Governor. Speeches were also made by Major Jonathan W. Gordon and Governor Porter. On Major James B. Mulkey's motion, and by a vote of the veterans present, Governor Porter and Lieutenant Governor Hanna were made honorary members of the Association, and invested with badges.
Mr. SPANN offered a resolution, which was adopted, recognizing the grand achievements of Mexican soldiers, and pledging the Senate's aid in obtaining from the General Government recognition for their services.
The Senate took a recess for interchange of courtesies-
And them came the adjournment.
