PUBLIC OFFENSES.
Mr. HENRY, from the Committee on Free Conference, on the disagreements between the two Houses on the bill [H. R. 393], concerning public offenses, submitted a report referring to numerous disagreements by sections. Substantially the amendments the Senate are to recede from relating to disfranchising clause, and the law will remain as it now is.
The report was concurred in.
Mr. Henry introduced a bill [S. 379] relating to the loaning of the Common School and Congressional Township fund--so worded as to apply only to Madison County--which was pressed through the third reading--twice by title only--and passed.
