Rc6sf Of The Aierandria S46eyers.-The bill
for this object, which had passed the House Of
Representatives, i, gives us pleasure to state,
also passed the Senate yesterday. 1t was taken
up at an early hour of the sitting, and passed
forthwith, without debate, though not without
dissenting votes. There were gentlemen Of
that House, as well as Of the other, who felt
themselves constrained by principle and con
siderations of public duty, to vote against the
bill; but with the utmost respect for their con-
scientious objections, We must express our un-
qualified appreciation Of the bene6cent act, and
avow the opinion that il will shed enduring
lustre on the Legislature Of the Nation. Soon
after the bill'passed the Senate, twas enrolled,
signed by the presiding officers of the two
Houses, submitted to the President of the q.
States, signed Immediately by him, sent to the
Secretary the Treasury, and draft forthwith
transmitted to the Mayor Of Alexandria for the
amount Of The appropriation. This prompti-
tude enhances the value Of the act.

that the said Randolph Acton is in actual confinement

auire, even sspposlng The population to be sta
tionary. about seveniy-h>e, years more to ac-
complish measure so congenial 10 the whole
,heo-y of our institutions. This consideration,
also, seems to require new scheme OF enroll
men, and organization, by which the whole bo-
DIV OF the militia, held to service might be ef-
feciively armed aud instructed.
In respect 20 INSTRUCTION, another material
defect may be noticed. Systems OF convent
snt size and form, for the Instruction OF caval-
~, artillery. and infantry, each bearing the ex-
press sanction Of the Government, are much
wanted by The militia. Such systems are now
in preparation by this Board, under the orders
Of the Department; but, should they be ulli-
ma,ely adopted, great want Of uniformity
would sill exist in the exercises OF the same
arm; toe infantry, for example, If provision be
rot made by the government, for the employ
,nen, a, eas, in the FIRST instance, OF experience
ID ins,ruc tors at ,be requisi,ion Of the States.
This point, which is deemed Of great impor-
,ance by the Board, win again be noticed under
the head of Camps of instruction.
Under the &C, Of Congress, May s, 1892, "for
establishing a uniform militia throughout the
United States" section I'd, it appears, by the
CORE spontlence before the Board, that exemp-
tons from militia service, granted by many
States, are so numerous as to operate very In
juriously on the whole establishment. In some
instances, the number OF exemptions is report
ed to be equal to the number OF enrolled men.
Not again TO recur TO this supposed defect IN
the act Of l792, the Board will here observe,
thar it would greatly promote uniformity in
tie distribution Of The benefits and burdens o.
wril regulated militia, among the respective
States, fno exemptions were allowed beyond
the cases which mightbe enumerated in some
new provision made by Congress on this head:
and, with a view TO such enumeration, the
Board would most respectfully suggest, that
persons belonging to religious communities or
societies, known to entertain conscientious OBJ
iections 10 the bearing Of arms, might be in
Guided, Or at least, exempted from service, in
time of peace
