New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-08-21

The bill passed it's first reading, and was
placed on the calendar.
Mr.. McMillen, of Carroll, asked the opin'
ion of the Chair relative to the withdrawal
Of the militia bill from the Conference Com
mittee, and upon the action of the House
in relation thereto.
The Chair decided that a disagreement
arising between the two Houses upon bill,
or any part thereof, and confreres having
been appointed, the bill is then in possession
and control of the confreres and the House
can not discharge their coRfreres without
consent of the Senate, nor can the bill be
Withdrawn without Joint action, and any
preceding on the part of the House, with
out such Joint action, would be irregular.
Under a suspension of the rules Mr.
Wren, of Bossier, offered the following joint
resolution, which passed on its first read
ing:
Be IL resoired, That a Joint committee of
seven members of the House OF Represen-
tatives be appointed by the Speaker, and
| i've members of the Senate be appointed by
the President of the Senate to confer and
| mature bill to organize tue puolie schools
| OF this State in accordance with the re-
| quirements of the constitution.
