Petitions Against Sunday Legislation

On a recent day in the Senate of the United States five senators presented various petitions and memorials relating to Sunday legislation. Memorials from sundry citizens of the States of New Hampshire, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, North Carolina, New York, South Carolina, Ohio, Nebraska, Kansas, and Missouri were laid before the Senate, remonstrating against the enactment of legislation to protect the first day of the week as a day of rest in the District of Columbia. Memorials were also presented from sundry citizens of the States of Washington and Missouri, remonstrating against the passage of the bill to prevent Sunday banking in post-offices in the handling of money-orders and registered letters.
