Mr. Speaker:

Your Standing Committee on Agriculture to whom was referred Senate Bill No. 25, "An Act to amend Section 66 of an Act entitled 'An Act Concerning Conveyances,' approved November 5th, 1861, have had the same under consideration, have come to a favorable conclusion thereon, and beg leave to report the same back to the House without amendment and recommend its passage.

R. H. SCOTT,
Chairman.

Mr. Speaker:

Your Standing Committee on Public Morals to whom was referred Assembly Bill No. 14, entitled "An Act to repeal an Act entitled 'An Act to prohibit carrying Concealed Weapons,' approved February 27th, 1867," beg leave to report that they have had the same under consideration, and offer the accompanying substitute, the passage of which is earnestly recommended. The end sought to be reached is obvious. That the Act passed by the former Legislature does not meet with the proper regard that the solemn Act of a Legislative branch of Government should, is patent, owing to our peculiar locality and situation, in the minds of your Committee. The passage of the Act they propose cannot but operate in a salutary manner upon our morals, both social and political, and will, we feel assured, meet the approbation of all order-loving citizens.
