on bills concerning annual sessions

| many matters including these: Re-
curing that in the distribution of
damages paid by reason or death
doctors and undertakers shall have
their bills paid first requiring sellers
of deadly weapons to give chiefs the
names of purchasers within twenty
four hours, and appointing High
Young judge at Enfield.
The resolution to memoriaIize Com
gress for q change in the constitution
to permit of election of three sena-
tors from each state was indefinitely
postponed in concurrence with the
House. An unfavorable report was
made on the bill to reguiaEe OPTIC
metry.
In the House, these bil1s were re-
ported: Placing appointment Of jan
Itors and assistant 5anitors of court
houses in the hands OF the commits
sfoners who have power also to fix

In the national guard and Instructions
