LAND SALES CLAIM.
Mr. BRANHAM submitted a joint resolution in relation to the two per cent. claim bill of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, now pending in Congress, instructing our Senators and Representatives in Congress to vote for and use their influence to procure the passage of said bill speedily.
Mr. MILLER asked for information.
Mr. BRANHAM said: It is only asking our Senators and Representatives to place our State, with the States of Ohio and Illinois, on the same footing with other land States. The interest of the State of Indiana in this matter of two per cent. on the sales of the public lands is about $400,000.
The joint resolution was adopted on the part of the House of Representatives--yeas 92, nays 0.
