House roil No. 20, for compulsory education, was indefinitely postponed in the hcuse to-day, by a yote of 44 to 35. A similar bill before the legis- lature in 1879, had twenty-five sup- porters. House roll number 38, introdaced by Mr. Montgomety, of Furnas, was paseed fo-dsy. It appropriates the sum of £50,000 to be used in_the pur- chaze of seodigrain, vegs‘able scods and feed, to be scld on timo, at cost pricesof such supplies, (without freizht ot transportation charges) to the citl- zens offihis state in the counties of Gosper, Phelps, Hatlan, Red Willow, Hitchcock and Frontier, made desti-] tute by reason of the failure of crops in said countics in the year 1880. Senate bill No. 40 being reported back by the judiciary committee with the recommendation that it pass, was before the eevate committee of the whole this sftorncon, Dr. Taylor in the chair, This is a bill in which Omaha is greatly interested, as it restores the old law regulating the taxation of rail- road property. It is hoped by the senators from Douglas that.thia bill will be sent to the house eoon, it hav- ing been reported back to the scnate with the -recommendation that it be passed. It bar been delsyed in the printer's handa some daye. Tt Is quite smusiig to see how Sena- tor Myers got bimself into a picklo with his little bill to prevent persons, not emploes, to ride over raileoeds on frea permits, The bill was reported back by Myers' committoe with the recommendation thatit do not pass. The only explanation of this is that they had become convinced that the Bill would become 8 law if reported on favorably, which was the last thing they wanted; #0 that took the back track. Iam informed, however, that it will not be allowsd to dio, snd ! such logislation as will be alike just that its chances for passagears good.
