Shepard said he had Just received
the fret part OF the code as passed by
the Senate. He moved that The rec.
ord be made to show that the bill had
been read the third time, and that the
House now proceed TO consider the
amendments.
Kmball said the title OF the code
relating IN railroads had not been con.
sldeEtd / y the Senate, because 1t had
been un erstood by both houses tnat
the railroad bill, Just killed, would
take the place Of the railroad title in
the code; consequently that part Of
the code would nave TO be considered
! by both housee. The work Of ffty-
three days by the railroad committee
