REPEAL OF THE PROVOKE LAW.
Mr. JOHNSON moved to reconsider the vote by which the report of the Committee to indefinitely postpone the bill [H. R. 240] to repeal a misdemeanor act, was adopted.
The motion was agreed to.
Mr. JOHNSON said it was not treating him with the proper respect to dispose of his bill in that manner during his absence; especially so, as it is a very meritorious one, repealing one of the worst acts on the statute books.
The same matter being included in the civil code, on motion the further consideration of this bill and report was postponed until one week from to-day.
