The Bill In Conference

Seven senators and seven representatives were appointed a committee of conference to reconcile the disagreements between the two houses. The bill reached the committee July 8th, with nearly nine hundred amendments which had been made by the senate. Most of them were unimportant, and as to about four-fifths of them the committee recommènded the house to recede from disagreement. Sugar, wool, and hides were the items most warmly contested. A sugar schedule was adopted which was between the rates of the' house and senate bilis. As to wool,the committee adopted the senate rate, with modiflcations, on third class or carpet wool; and the house rate on the other classes. A duty was imposed on hides, but at fifteen instead of twenty per cent. Cotton was restored to the free list; , 'and the proposed tax on stocks and binas was stricken out. Subscrib ofor The Demoerat
