Mr. Stephenson, from the Committee on Agriculture, sub-
mitted the following

REPORT.

The Committee on Agriculture, to whom was referred the
Report of the Hons. Richard Mackall an I John M. Carter,
Commissioners, appointed by Governor Swann, to represent
Maryland in the American Convention of Cattle Commis-
sioners, held at Springfield, III., December, 1868 ; also, the
proceedings and debates of the said Convention of Cattle
Commissioners, have had the same under consideration, and
ask leave to report:

After a careful perusal and consideration of the debates
and proceedings of the Convention, your Committee have
come to the conclusion that legislation on the part of Mary-
land, with reference to the prevention of the spread of the
"Texas cattle fever," would he premature at this time, as
the Convention of Cattle Commissioners were themselves
unable to agree as to the origin of the disease or the proper
means to be used for the prevention of its spread.

The Committee, therefore, ask to be discharged from the
further consideration of the subject.
WM. B. STEPHENSON,

Chairman.
Which was read and adopted.
