f The wagon bridge over the bayou in
Ithe city of Batesville went down Wed

GOVERNOR INAUGURATED.
Senate Enacts Three Measures Third
Day Of Session—Members Will
Furnish Constituents With

In the third days’ proceedings of the
Thirty-fourth general assembly the
feature was the inauguration of Gov
ernor Jefferson Davis for his second
term and the delivery of his message
to the senate and house in joint ses
sion. The inaugural ceremonies were
very simple. A large assemblage
filled the house of representatives to
overflowing. A committee escorted
the governor to the hall, where Chief
Justice Bunn administered the oath of
office. Then the governor delivered
his message, occupying two hours and
ten minutes. Ex-Gov. Jas. P. Clarke,
Democratic nominee for United States
senator, was present at the ceremon
ies and was given an ovation.
The senate got well down to busi
ness Wednesday, passing three bills,
one concurrent resolution, several
resolutions relative to the proceedings
and introducing and reading seven
other measures.
Three bills passed at the Aorning
session on special order were:
No. 3, by Senator Wood—To furnish I
members of the general assemb y
with 30 copies of a daily paper, pub
lishing the proceedings of the general
assembly, with 25 cents’ worth of
stamps a day.
No. 4, by Senator Butt—To appro
priate §100,000 for the mileage and
contingent expenses of the general
No. 11, by Senator Hardy—Provid
ing for an assistant journal clerk of
the senate, at $6 per day.
Concurrent resolution, No. 1, by
Senator Killough, was also passed in
special order in the morning session
of the senate. The bill provides for j
the appointment of a special com- :
mittee on levees, of twelve members !
of thfi house and senate.
These were ordered transmitted to
