reading proof the other day on the Journal
of the proceedings of the last House Of Rep
rssentatives, We found the following streak
Of fun:
Mr.. Grantham, from the COMMITTEES on County
and Township Organization, submitted the fol-
lowing report:
Tho Committee on County and Township Organ
. very ponderous chara1t4, be1Eine the signasnrs
Of Elihu Mullekan, Of New jefferson, Iowa.
The contents of the Aforesaid document may be
stated thusly;
lst For law to prohibit the payment Of all
just debts, especially everything in the shape Of
taxes.
I'd, Fora law to refund al taxss heretofore
paid.
Sd. To abolish the American and Merchants
Express Companies.
4th. To restore the Democratic party to power
in Iowa.
18th. To put down Puritanical customs.
9th. TIE squech abolitionsrs.
It'll. To snuff out the Black Republican party.
Your committee recognize the right Of petition
in its broadcast sense, and are pleased rather th an
offended ct tho boldness Of Sistsv NullskAn She
il genuine disciple Of Miss Anns, and 10 most
certainly sound on the goose anu therwise. But
her views being so far in advance of other be-
nighted mortAs, it is feared she will ss in state
Of onpieasaatness 80 long ~ shs lives under Iowa
behalf.
They would therefore recommend that Sister
Mullekan have FREQ pass, and that she scoof
without delay to the dominions Of Brigham
Young who will no doubt relieve her troubles, and
administer to her tcants geaerdtly.
