ten OF chapter s7s OF the laws Of lSs9n respectfully
report against the passage OF said bill; and as the
bill has been made tue subject Of much comment by
certain parties who have either misunderstood tho

Sor some OBJECT msrepresented It, we desire briefly
80 give our reasons for making this report.
There has been an impression created upon the
minds Of many MEMBERS and many other citizens
whose attention has been directed TO the matter,
shat the law whose repeal Ia asked for has some
reference to the common scno0 fund OF the State
and that the moneys appropriated are drawn either
from the common school fund or the literature fund.-
