I am directed by the Committee on the Judiciary. to whom was referred the bill to amend sections 5424. 5425. 5426. 5428. and 5429 of the Revised Statutes of the United States under Title LXX. chapter 5. crimes against the operation of the Government. to ask to be discharged from its further consideration. and that the same be referred to the Committee on Privileges and Elections. I should like to be permitted to state that this is a bill changing certain sections of the Revised Statutes in regard to certain crimes. and nearly all of the crimes are crimes in relation to using false naturalization papers in elections. and so forth. While there are one or two provisions of the bill that do not come under the ordinary jurisdiction of the Committee on Privileges and Elections. those provisions do not seem to us likely to commend themselves to the Senate. and the substance of the bill comes within the province of that committee.
