for a speedy transmission by the county treasurers of the money in their hands to the State Treasurer. It would compel each county treasurer to transmit to the State treasurer once in each week, provided he had over $200 of the State's money in his hands. House bill No. 76, which has already passed, provides that each county treasurer shall pay over to the State Treasurer all moneys due the State within thirty days after the receipt of the same, and makes such payment one of the conditions of his bond. Your committee are of the opinion that the passage of House bill No. 76 renders the passage of this bill unnecessary, and they have therefore directed me to report said bill back to the House, and recommend that it do not pass, and ask to be discharged from the further consideration of the subject. C. B. GRANT, Chairman. Report accepted and committee discharged. On motion of Mr. Striker, The bill was laid on the table. By the committee on religious and benevolent societies: The committee on religious and benevolent societies, to whom was re-committed House bill No. 78, entitled A bill to amend section 7 of chapter one hundred and sixtynine, it being section 4725 of the compiled laws of 1871, relative to marriage and the solemnization thereof, Respectfully report that they have had the same under consideration, and have directed me to report the same back to the House with the accompanying proviso, recommending that the House do concur therein; and the committee do further recommend that the committee of the whole be discharged from the further consideration of the bill, and the bill be placed on the order of third reading of bills, and ask to be discharged from its further consideration. E. J. WELKER, Chairman. Report accepted and committee discharged. On motion of Mr. Welker, The bill was placed on the order of third reading. MESSAGES FROM THE SENATE.
