law? Our understanding is that the bill
originated in the IIouse, went to the Sem
are, was amended there, and Was sent back
10 the House, where il became IL law. somt
of the States (kentucky, for instance)
have al.eady Leen l,disirieied by the Leg

the passage of this bill, aIoiher has
b,en introduced in the lower House, Civ

States, Vermont. Florida ana two or thre'
Others, and We suppose this is the bill
which has led the News astray. We urt
