Mn Enron II has been Justly said that
almost every bill of iny Importance. which
passed the house ofrprcscnintN cs, was de-
ieHted in the >cnatc. The bin introduced
by Captain Partridge regulating and gov
cruug the militia q this state, was IN my
opinion a very important one.
One ofthc provisions in this bill was not
TO exempt Justices OF tie peace sheriff., high
baiIitls, sclcctmun. constables. elders, dca-
cons, quakers, physicians, surgeons, stated
schoulmasters fcrrymcn and mllcrs, unless
they paid the sum % two dollars each, 10
the quariormlstcr This bill also provided
that the officers and soldiers should be com
pensated tor their services. They were 10
be allowed the sum af fIty cents per day
each Tor training dnfs and on muster days
the sum Of seventy-iNe cents per day. These
alterations III the militia laws of tins state
were thought to be very desirable 10y the
house of representatives, and after being
discussed by Capt Partridge, Fullam and
some others IN favor of the passage of the
bill as reported, il passed by almost an u
unanimous vote. 1t was then sent 10 the
senate for their concurrence, but they VOID
not concur in SAID bill ; especially they
would not concur ~ the above alterations
in relation to the question Of exemptions
and COMPENSATION Of the soldiers. After
tit Ilil lld' b'CU VII ludliN Nihhf.''t'lN W. ~
the scnate. it was sent back to the house for
then concurrence. The house thought at
first they would not concur: but on the
whole they come to the conclusion that II
would be preferable 20 pass the bill, aIlho
they were not satisfied with the conduct OF
the senate III relation to II.
A general interest is f,li upon the reform
ofthe militia To-; and peoBsi, S wi! sem aIGay

A FmNEn
There is hardly enough of truth in the n
bove articlr to hold il together. The mil
tia bill, spoken of, was reported, in the frs
place to the senate, by Gen. Phelps, chair
man of the committee on military affairs
and afterwards to the house by Capt. Pr
fridge, chairman Of the committee III Tia
house. The allegation that the bill wa
! raised by The hous,, III any shape. and al
forwards sent 10 the senate, where IL wa
slaughtered" IS entirely untrue, The b
A. passed the senate first and was sent tror
that body to the house. The amendmcn,
il received IN the senate were with the cor
sent and appreciation Of the chairman of tll
committee. The whole story about the b.
being sent from the house to the senate .ther
I, slaughtered" then sent back 20 the hou,
= who ''lhought at first they would not cot
cur" is without foundation. How did til
@ arrogant censor Of tic senate kno" Wh
