LINCOLN , Feb. 2 The legishtnro
has now been in aesiion very nearly
one.half of ila allotted time. The only
bill ( hit has , aa yet , VeSn enacted is
the bill making appropriation for tbo
expenses of. the legislature , which in-
eludes the pay and tnlleago of mem
bers , and the asl'tics of a small
baard ol cletka and hangers-ou. The
present legislature , howaver , i by no
means made up of drones. The alack
of bills that have already been intro
duced and printed would stagger a
Philadelphia lawyer , if they were em
bodied ia the statutes , la the hocse
alone one hundred cd thirty-eight
bills liavo ben Introduced , and over
two hundred are now pending in both
houses. Of those , of course , seven-
eights will bo pi oon-holed In the
committees , or indefinitely postponed
when they come before tbo legislature.
I have taken pains to procure all the
house bills that are printed , including
over one hundred bills , and I will en
aeavor , for the benefit of tue origina
tors and the information of read
ers to give a bynopsia.
EDUCATIONAL.
There are ten bills before the house ,
containing V&rlous reforms in our tya-
tern ol education and propositions for
its enlargement. Two of these bills
propose the erection of additional nor
mal schools , ouo by Hon. Geo. W
Brown , which proposes the establish"
merit of a normal school at Albion ,
Boone county , at a cost not to exceed
S10.000 for building and § 2,000 for
the furniture ; another , introduced by
Hon. C. C. Wyatt , locates an addi-
tioual normal ochool at Norfolk * Mad
ison county , the cost not to Bxceed
$15,000. There is a bill by Mr.
\Vindham authorizing school boards
to admit non-resident Capita at a fixed
rate of tuition , ' ,30 , authorizing own-
era of r-fti oatato adjoining the dis
trict Q which they reside to send
upila to ah adjoining district. There
s a bill , introduced by Sir. Slocnmb ,
which provides for compulsory educa
tion , and requires parents , .guardians
ind other persons having control of
tKllrlron "between the ages of eieht
uti-oimW fc 4a ouvK VT > 1T * * J at-

This bill authorizes , in lien of school
attendance , sixteen weeks of home in-
.truetisn. . Jit this clauie Is adopted
ho whole bill might as well be put in
he waste-baiket ] . The penalty for
flotation of thla compulsory -school
aw is a fine of one dollar for the first
ifiense and five dollars for each week
n which the parent or guardian fails
o comply with the conditions Fhero
TO bills , one by Mr. Mickey and the
ither by Mr.Vheedom gotten up ] in
he interest of parties who bought
ichool bonds , which by these bills are
obe legalized whore any defect or ir-
egularity exists. There is one bill
iy Mr. Hick , authorizing the officars
f county , township and precinct
chool districts to compromise their
ndebtedness and issue new bonds.
QUACKERY AND BODY-8SATOHINO.
Mr. Wiudom has Introduced a bill
that legalizes the dissection of all bodies
ies of criminals executed by law and
af all unclaimed paupers. These bodies
ies may be turned to any medical
ichool , physician or surgeon for the
purpose of scientific Investigation.
Section four of this bill makes It un
lawful for any person to disinter any
: orpso except on thoorderof a judge of
-ho court of record , where said dia-
interment is demanded for the purpose
if removing the remains to another
jurying ground , or in case of criminal
prosecution , while suspicion of violence
lence cr poison exists. The penalty
"or violating this act Is from one to
three hundred dollars fine or confine
ment in count ? jail from three months
; o one year. [ This penalty for body-
jnatchera ia too light. It ought to be
made a penitentiary offense.J
Hon.fR. W. Montgomery has intro
duced a bill to regulate the practice
) f medicine. Section two of this act
.requires all penona claiming to bo
physicians or surgeons to fill a de
tailed statement under oath giving
name of college or school from which
Lhey graduated and time of practice
In any place where they have acted as
.surgeons or pbysicani. Section three
makes a false statement a felony and
punishable the same as perjury. Sec-
Jon four prescribes the qualifications
of registered physicians and surgeons.
These sre as follows : First Graduates
of legally chartered medical colleges.
Second Persons who have attended
one full course of lectures in a legally
chartered medical college and prac-
.iced medicine continuously for three
cears , the last year In this state.
Third Penons who have at the time
this act takes effect buen engaged in
the practice of medicine or aurgerj
'or a period of ten years the last two
years of which practice has been in
this state. No paroa not a resident
of Nebraska when this act takes effed
who has not received the degree ol
Doctor cf Medicine from some legallj
chartered college shall be allowed tc
practice in this state. Section ei hi
provides that no person shall recovei
In any court in this state any sum fo :
medical or surgical attendance whohai
failed to comply with the requirement :
of this act. Section ninu makes thi
pratlco by any unregistered phyaiciai
a misdemeanor , punishable by fine
[ That penalty ought to include imprisonment
'
prisonment in the county jail , at least.
Section eleven provides that any itin
erant vendor of any drug , nostrum o
ointment who ehall advertise the Bam
by any other than a professional caner
or shingle , shall be deemed guilty of
misdemeanor and fined and Imprlsone
for a period of thirty days , at the di !
cretion of the court.
Mr. "Windcm has introduced a bl
providing for the organization of
board of health. This bill authoria
the governor to appoint seven perion
who shall constitute the board , and
who a terms shall expire each year
consecutively for seven yeais. The
state board of health fahall have the
penonal supervision of the heal h
&nd lives of the cltizans of the state ,
including quarantine and sanitary pre
cautions. All police officers , shejaftj ,
constable and other employes or the
state shall enforce the regulations es
tablished by the board. They shall
hive supervision of the registry of
births and death * . The Becretary of
state Ii chanted with the safe-keeping
[ of the board. The county clerks
shall bo required to keep separate
books for the registration of the
namei nd ftastoffice address of doc
lots and raidwivos ; slao a rrg'atry of
births , marriages and deaths. The
clerks shall furnish a transcript of
these registers once a year to the
board , The board Of health shall re
ceive no y except their traveling
fa\d \ other expenses. The secretary
shall receive such pay na the board
may fix. The anm of § 3000 is ap pro
priated for the use o the board , and
the board shall make annual report j
to the governor. [ In a state where
the frost gets four feet below the sur
face , and epidemics are utterly im
possible , a board of health would bo &
very ornamental and costly appeadacjo
to the state government. A bill re
quiring county clerks to keep the pro
posed registry of births , deaths and
marriages , andJrs'VTmi the same to
the sjcretv ot the a'a'e annually , is
aU fd want. If the legislature addi
$500 a year clerk hire for the Bccru-
tary of state , the statistics and reports
will bo just as accurate , and serve just
as g\od a purpose .13 though made by
the board ] .

ited by la r , road overseers will em
ploy a small army of laborers just be

WASHINGTON , D. 0. , February 2.
The chair laid before the senate a
communication from the president ,
reciting the circumstances under
which the rocoat commission to visit
the Ponca Indians was appointed ,
and transmitting their report with a
minority report by Mr. Allen. The
president reviews tha history of th8
Ponca wrotig ) , and recommended that
ample reparation be made , including
tJ > allotment of land in severally to
the Indiana in Dakota and the Indian
territory , and says in conclusion that )
without inquiring AS to the particular
share of blame that may attach to
any department , ho feels sufficiently
responsible for the wrongs t ) these
Indians te make him anxious that full
reparation be made during his admin'
istration.
lho chair also kid before the senate
( communication Froni the 'secretary
o ! tha interior , transmitting. in re *
Bponso to a resolution of the , senate , a
copy of the report of the Ute com-
misnlsn.
Mr. McPherson , from the committee * -
tee on naval affairs , .reported a bill ap
propriating * lCO,000 for the propara-
tlbn , equipment and supply of war
vessels to be sent in search of the
Arctic exploring steamer "Jeannette , "
and gave notice that be would call up
the bill in the morning hour to-mor
row.
row.Mr. . Morgan called up the caucus
resolution in relation to counting the
electoral rote , and offered an amend
ment changing the resolution to a
concurrent resolution and making the
tellers on the part cf the senate two ,
instead of one , which was agreed to.
Mr. Morgan then addressed the sen
ate in support of his substitute for
Mr. Ingalls' resolution.
Mr. Edmund : said that without sur
rendering his convictions that the con
stitution expressly declares that per
sons having the highest number of
votes shall be president and vice pres
ident and tha * . neither the vice presi
dent , senate , house nor the throe com
bined hud the power to reverse that
declaration of the constitution , he was
willing to take this method of not dis
posing of or deciding the question.
He , however , ' advocated , an amend
ment striking out tho. words "Hall of
the house of representatives , " not be
cause he boliared it made the alighoat
difference in the present case , but the
tlmo might come when , to carry these
archives an eighth cf a mils through a
great crowd , might bo a dangerous ex
posure of them. The constitution
made the president or the senate cus
todian of the returns , and the cnly
wise place for counting was where the
president of the senate officially and
rightfully belongs. Heretofore the
question of physical convenience bad
been the only good reason for occupy
ing the hull of the house , but the sen
ate chamber waa now large enough to
accommodate both houses.
Mr. Thnrman said that for seventy
years the votes had been counted in
the house hall , and on none of these
occasions had any senator going to
and from that hall been molested.
He waa not willing to depart from a
practice sanctioned by so long usage.
Mr. Hoar said he felt it his duty to
call attention to the character of the
resolution. On more than one
occasion they had to resort to a mere
shift to get over temporary difficulties.
When the count of a presidential vote
is pending the necessity of some def
inite mode of conducting the count is
necessary. But as soon aa the elec
tion is over the matter is dropped to
come up on the next occasion. The
resolution , he said , WAS a method of
getting around a disputed question as
to who should count the votes. It
was a proposition that the senate and
house should meet the president of
the senate and tha vote should not be
counted at all. What they were to
do was to say , as the senator from
Alabama ( Mr. Morgan ) had said , that
he was satisfied , in advance , that Garfield -
field and Arthur were elected , and
get rid of the question in that way.
A long debate ensued on the validi
ty of the vote of Georgia.
L j Mr. Blaine said he intended , on the
( i first day of the spring meeting of the
' senate , if there should be one to second
end , to move a select committee ot
1 five , consisting of two democrats , two
republicans , and the senator from
Illinois ( D. 7is ) as chairman , to sit
during the recess , and report on the
Grit Monday in December a remedy
for this evil. He believed that noth
1 ing but a constitutional amendment
would reach the difficulty.
A verbal amendment , inserting af
ter " 12 o'clock , meridian , " the words ,
"pursuant to the requirements of the
constitution , and the law relating to
the election of president and vice
pres'dent of the United States , " wa !
aupgts'ed by Mr. Edmunds and ac
cepted by Mr. Morgan , and as thus
amended the resolution was agreed to ,
Mr. Wallace , from the committee or
appropriations , reported the postoffice
appropriation bill
Tne pension appropriation bill wa <
then taken up , and Mr. Yoorheei
made a speech energetically opposing
the sixty surgeon bill , whlca Mr
Withers offered yesterday aa a rider t (
the appropriation bill.
At the conclusion of Mr. Voorheea
