Mr. Davis, from the committee on pensions,
reported a bill to place the name of Mrs. Logan
(widow of General John A. Logan) on the pen
sion roll at the rate of $2,000 a year, and abked
for its immediate consideration.
Mr. Perry objected, and the bill was placed
on the calendar.
Mr. Davis also reported a bill to increase
pension of Mrs. Blair (widow of General Frank
P. Blair), and it was also placed on the calen
dar.
Mr. Edmunds asked that the postal tele
graph bill, introduced by him, be taken from
the table and referred to the post office com
mittee. He had intended, he said, to have
submitted some brief observations on the bill,
but trusting to the zeal and lidelity which the
postoffice committee had hitherto shown in
favor of some such measure, he thought he
could safely send it without any
preliminary observations, trusting that it
would be very speedily reported, when it could
be discussed. The bill was so referred, as
well as a bill on subject introduced
by Mr. Cullom.
THE MORMONS AND GOVERNMENT.
The resolution offered by Mr. Cali yesterday
to print in the Congressional Re.cord the me
morial of the constitutional convention of
Utah was called up by that gentleman, who
asked that it be now adopted.
Mr. Edmunds preferred that the resolution
be referred to the committee on territories,
which now had jurisdiction of the subject.
