EQUALIZATION OF BOUNTIES.
Mr HUMPHREYS offered the following:
WHEREAS, it is a fact apparent to all persons that many private soldiers who were engaged in the late war against the South, and also the families of many deceased soldiers, are now in limited if not destitute circumstances, and
WHEREAS, The law on the subject of bounties makes an unjust discrimination between persons entitled thereto, in regard to the amount of the same, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Senate, the House concurring, that our Senators in Congress be instructed, and our Representatives requested, to use their influence to procure the passage of an act for the equalization of the bounties of all persons entitled thereto, under the provisions of any act of Congress on that subject.
It was adopted.
