Colonel Montgomery, president pro tern.,
coiled the Senate to order to-day nt IS o'clock,
nnd to tho roll call which followed, only seven
senators answered. This number not constitut
ing a quorum, the president so announced,
whorenpon .lillson moved that the srrgoaiit-ai
nrms be Instructed lolook up the absent senators
and bring lu all he found. This motion was
carried, and the sergeant-at-arms started out.
After an absence of about twenty minutes, he re
k turned and reported that he could (bid none. The
S Senate then, on motion of Hsyne, adjourned.
B Til at coin dill.
ST The bill providing for the payment of the in
Beerest of the St ate stocks and bonds In coin Is still
one of the chief topics of discussion. Many of
the Rndlcal members express t hoir disgust at the
w manner in which it was passed In the House, and
do not hesitate to assert that money was freely
jose I to Inilnence the votes of the members. It
?0&S been stated that the highest arm tun paid for
Hi vote was two hundred dollars, and the lowest
H en dollars.
H H is reporied that flovcrnor Scott win veio the
^?ill after it is passed by the Senate, some assert

not wish to assume tho onus of having favored

his veto. Some of tnc less charitable ones hint
that he will veto the bill hcciuse he bas sold nil of
his bonds ami is not now interest?d.

Who shall "nave the power of purchasing school
books for the children of the free-schools of the
.state* is n Question frequently asked, but as
often unanswered. The "Educational bill" pro
vides that the .state board of Education Khali
h ive the power, hut it is doubtful if the section
containing that proviso will puss. Tho House will
endeavor to pass an utnctidmctit providing thut
there shall be a commission appointed by the
Senate and the House, whose duty It shall be lo
.=flect and' purchase lie; books. Some want
the matter left entirely lo tiie county school com
missioners, who shall select the books they deem
best adapted for the children of their respective
counties. Anticipating thai this last course
would bo pursued, a Now York publishing house
seul out two agents who, taking different routes,
have called upon all or nearly all of the school
cominis-iouers und, doubtless, Impressed them
with the belief that their tcxi books only have the
necessary requisites to train up Hie education of
the child reu in the way it should go. Another
New York house Is represented here. It Is rumor

bined lo llghi the oMlcial "ring," Which both
believe has been formed to purchase the books of
a iioii"c of their own choosing. The combination
propose lo divide Hie spoils?one lo sell the

promises to be warm.
the swamp i.AXD8.
The Radical's Executive, In hi* last message,
states that iue swamp lands of the State com
prise more than one million of acres of almost In
exhaustible fertility, and recommends an accur
ate Survey of them and a plan for their reclama
tion. As has been stated by The News, Donald
son has given notice of his Intention to Introduce
a bin providing for the drainage of these swamp
landi. On Inquiring of the Auditor of the state
in regard lo the number of acres comprised in
these swamp lauds, I was informed that he had
no data by winch ut could judge accurately, as
they were not relumed under that head?the un
cultivated lauds being returned as "wood, un
cultivated and marsh lands," of which there
are eleven million acres, valued at forty-two mil
lion dollars. What plan will be urged in the bill
to be Introduced, lias not, as I am Informed, been
determined upon. Some arc iu favor of the Stale
purchasing Ihc swamp lauds, aud othersdesiiu
the State lo drain them and let the owners pledge
themselves t?> pay the expense Iu live or ten
years. It Is very much desired that owners of
swamp lands will communicate their opinions
upon ihc method of drainage which ean accom
plish ilia work thoroughly at the least expense,
and at the same time not conflict witli the inter
ests of the owners.
