Mr. JONES of Tippecanoe, from the Committee on Temperance, returned sundry petitions and the bills numbered 38, 74, 128 by Messrs.: Bracker, Brett, and Roberts, with a motion, as to the petitions, that they be laid on the table, and as to the bills, that they be indefinitely postponed. The Committee express the opinion that any material change of the present liquor law, at the present time, would be highly inexpedient, because it has given such general satisfaction on a subject upon which people differ so widely. With respect to some of the provisions in the bills reported against, they report a bill in lieu, but strictly amendatory of the existing law; viz : a bill [315] to amend sections 3, 4, 5, 9, 11 of the liquor law of March 5, 1859; which was passed to the second reading.
