Skip Skip PETITIONS and MEMORIALS.R. CLARK. Ihold in my hand, Mr. president, 218 etitions from various towns and places in the Late of NewHampshire, all of them numerously signed, so that I think they may be rearded as the petitions of the citizens of NewHampshire, in which they ask for an act of Congress making a special bounty of land to the soldiers in the late war of 1861 and 1862, which shall make them more equal in pay with those who afterward entered the service and received large bounties. They also ask a special bounty of land to the reenlisted veterans who did so much toward the termination of the war. I move their reference to the ComMilAffrs , hoping that they may be able to do something in answer to the prayer of the petitioners. The motion was agreed to.
