BY THE SENATE,

June 18th, 1861.
Gentlemen of the House of Delegates :

As there exists a difference between the Senate and House re-
specting the pay and mileage of the members, we respectfully
suggest to your body the appointment of a Committee of Confer-
ence on this subject, so as to procure a unanimity of action, as
this body is informed there has been a disagreement between the
Joint Committee heretofore appointed and the action of the respec-
tive Houses of this General Assembly, and the said Committee be
instructed to report as early as possible.
