bill, which tile Hous. refused to further
amend for the follnwins reasons:
fFbe Bill, while enufled ''-Ap act to pro-
vide for the resumption and, control Of the
penitentiiry," ETC., IN my Judgment makes
resumption more difficult than II was DC
fore its passage. DA
The plan provided in the bill for tho
management o! she penigve larry aud CON.
