EQUALIZATION OF BOUNTIES.
Mr. GORDON submitted a joint resolution [H. R. No. 6]:
WHEREAS, A law passed the first session of the 39th Congress, giving to certain soldiers an additional bounty of $100 failed to render full satisfaction to our country's defenders, or to satisfy the wishes of the loyal people of Indiana; therefore,
Resolved, By the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, that our Senators in Congress be instructed and our Representatives requested to use their influence to secure the passage of an act to equalize the bounties of soldiers, similar to the one which first passed the House at the last session of Congress.
It was read and referred to the Committee on Federal Relations.
