SENATE.-Bdts,-repealing the act in.
cooperating the Village of Woodstock, re-
ported BY Mr.. Adams, with a proposal of
amendment, providing that the acl shall
not take effect without the consent of a
majority Of The voters Of said Village. TO
BE- ascertalned at meeting named FOR the
purpose. Amendment adopted, and the
bill read third time and passed.
Reused StatUtes.-Chapler rs, of the
general list, called up by Mr.. Noble, for
consideration, and on the question shall
The bill be read third time? Mr. Pier
PInt demanded the yeas and NAYS, and
adaressed the senate, at some length, in
opposition TO the present system of taxa
lion as unequal in its operation. and in ma
ny cases uWlst, He believed new and
more simple system ought at once to be
adopted, correct in principle and equal in
PRACTICAL operation. Tax all the proper
" man possesses, said Mr.. p, and re-
CURE every man TO pay the expenses of
government in proportion to what he pos
sesses no less and no more. The subject
was taken up, the senate acting as in com
Tninee of the whole, upon a proposed
amendment offered by Mr.. Adams, requir-
ing that each male person of 81 years he
SET in the list at 10 dollars upon his poll.
and each person equipped for military du.
" be exempt from all taxes except for
high ways. This, with various other
pmendments to the chapter, was adopted in
committee of the whole. A proposition
that the list be taken The first of June in.
stead OF the first of April, ELECTED discuss
Ion Oy Messrs. Eaton, Adams, Harvey,
Gurus Townsley and others. The mo-
lion TO alter from April to June was lost,
%nen very interesting debate ensued on
tue question o. taxing the faculty of pro-
lesslonal men. Its injustice was insisted
upon BY Mess. Tracy, Converse, Eaton
aud others, on the ground that the chapter
proposed to tax. from year to year, all the
property a person may possess. If one
person or profession, more than another,
possessed a peculiar faculty to acquire
property, tina; faculty was abundantly tax
90 IN the annual assessment upon the
property thus acquired. The motion to
Tax the faculty was lost by strong vote.
Mr.. Harvey moved so to amend The chap
rr, as 10 exempt wild lands from taxation.
Motion lost, when the chapter was laid
lpon the table
