TIE COUNCIL OF CENSORs.

Now in session at Montpelier, have pronoun-
ced several sections of the late Military law I'M
constitutional. They presented the following
communication to the legislature upon the sub
ject.
Resolved, That SO much of the acts on the
LIST day of November, A. D. 1887, and on the
18th day of November, A. D. 1889 regulating
and governing the militia of this State when not
in actual service, as are hereafter mentioned and
pointed out, are unconstitutional and ought not
10 have been passed. wit; In chapter nine
and section first, the articles numbered l, 2, 8,
4, S, IL, and 81 in chapter eleren, the sections
numbered l, 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7, passed the first
dav of November, 1887 ALSO in chapter sic
the section numbered 3 and in chapter eight
the sections numbered 2, 3, a, 5, 6, Z, s, and
81; and also In chapter ten the section numbered
7, IL, IL, and ID, passed the 10Th day of Nov
ember, 1889.
The articles and sections above enumerated
contain provisions for imposing diverse amerce-
ments. fines, and forfeitures on citizens of this
State Tor unmilitary conduct and disobedience of
orders, without the Intervention of any civil
magistrate, and excluding the right Of trial by
jury.
The fine is imposed by court martial. and
the sentence enforced by The levy of execution
on the goods, chattles, or body OF the delinquent
This the Council Of Censers believe to be In
| direct violation of the 17lh Article of the Con-
stitulion, which declares, shat no person in this
State can in any case be subjected TO law marital
or to any penalties and pains by virtue of that
law, except those employed in the army and the
militia in actual service )" and also in violation
of another sacred provision of that nsrrume mt,
which declares, "lhat in all prosecutions fol-
criminal offences the person accused shall nave
a rig ht 10 speedy public trial by an impartial
jury BY the country, without the unanimous con-
sent Of which jury he can not be found guilty."
The Council find the 7ih section in the tenth
chapter of the law passed on the 18th day of
November, A. D. 1886, to be, il possible more
exceptionable than the other sections in said
chapter, specified as aforesaid.
Certain penalties are therein imposed on
officers required by said laws to make returns in
writing, and on failure to perform thei. duIy. the
officer to whom such return should have been
made, may demand the penalty of the DELINQUENT
officer either verbally or in writing and If the
delinquent shall neglect or refuse to pay said
fine within fifteen days after demand made as
aforesaid, then the officer to whom such return
should have been made, shall issue his execution
! therefor.
The Council consider this section, as not only

COURAGE

Its truly amusing to witness the noisy exulta-
ton Of the Locofoco press over their temporary,
and to them prof,less, successes. Were we TO
believe their boastful and false accounts OF the
elections, they would persuade US that they had
gained every where. That their success was
the result, not of their own gain bat the negi-
gence of portion of the Wings which, though
comparatively small, was large enough if with

a temporary minority, can be easily proved every
where, and yet we hear the Tories talking OF
their GAINS We trust none of our Wing friends
will permit themselves TO be duped by an artIfice
so hallow, deception so gross. The Loe ofocos
have gained nowhere. Instead Of gaining, they
have not even thrown so many votes as they
threw last year, by many thousands. True the
wings have fallen off III far greater ratio, but
are the LocofOco falsi6ers so weak as to suppose
that the hundred thousand Wing votes who have
stayed at home In Name, Vermont, Mary land,
Georgia and Pennsylvania, have been anihllated?
Or do they hatter themselves they can dupe their
readers into the belief that they have gained any
popular strength, when their vote is almost every
where a smaller one than last year?
No, the fell spirit of Loco FocOsm may, for
while, be permitted by the criminal neglect Of

FROM CANTON TOJUNE 10.


We have news most Unexpectedly from Can.
ton 20 days later than we published yesterday.
1t comes 10 US by the same ship. the Naragan-
sett, and appears thus late in consequence of
the omission, on the part of the consignees, to
place it before the public at an earlier hour.
Previous 10 the Narragansett leaving Wham-
poa, the Chinese had agreed TO pay six millions
Of dollars as ransom for the city of Canton,
one million of which had been delivered on
board H. NJ. S. Hyacinth, on the 9th May.
On the 18th June, jus, before she left Macao
Roads. news was received that fighting had
again taken place with some newly arrived
troops, and that a few foreigners who had re.
turned to look after some of their property,
were again obliged TO retire to their boats.
Annexed are a few extracts from the Canton
Press of the 18th and 9th June, kindly loaned
to Mr.. Low for few moments, by the resident
at Angler.
Arrangements made between H. M. Penipo.
tiary and three Imperial commissioners.
LIST. That all troops except those of the Pro.
vince quit the city within 6 days, and proceed
60 miles.
I'd. Six millions to be paid as a ransom for
the city within one week, commencing 9th
May. One million 10 be paid before sunset of
that day. 1.-THE whole sum is not paid within
Z days, to be increased TO millions; if not
paid within ID days, to be increased to mil.

When the whole sum is paid, then the British

The troops had returned to their ships pre-
vious to the 18th June, after having suffered a
great deal from exposure on the marshy ground
back of the city. The Chinese even sent cool.
les to assist in taking their troops TO the boats,
being glad to help rid themselves of such
troublesome visitors. When the troops were
being drawn of, one company was found 10 be

muskets on account of the rain which was then
falling. They were rescued from their peril.

sistance with percussion locks.
Sir LIE Fleming Senhouse, who commanded
the Naval forces in the absence of Sir Gordon
Bremen died at Hong Kong on the l4th June.
and was buried at Macao, at his own request,
in preference to the former place. 1t is suppo-
sed that his death was occasioned by heat and
over fatigue attending the attack upon Canton.
Great sickness also prevailed among the troops
and seamcn at Hong. Kong. Capt. Elliot has
been sick week. Messrs. Morrison and Fear
son, Interpreters, had also been very ILL Six
million dollars had been paid-fye in silver,
and one securities.
The forces had left the river, except The Cal
Hope and Herald, at Whampoa. The Nimrod
had sailed with dispatches for Bengal. Capt.
Barlow was to proceed from there TO EnglaDd
with dispatches for the Admiralty.
The news from China excites good deal Of
feeling wherever it is read. The voice Of ap-
proval a. 10 the course Of England is no where
heard except from England herself The war
against the Chinese for the causes alleged. is
regarded as selfish, cowardly aud disgraceful,
-ihe inhuman war of strong and intelligent
nation against a people infirm Of purpose and
imbeciIe in all their actions. Beginning in
bold aggression, it is ending in plumber and
blood. The money which is wrung from the
weak..and helpless is obtained at the sacrifice of
humanity and the price of mercy. Were an
Englishman TO DO what England is doing it
would be pronounced lawless massacre, which
the subject SHOULD atone for upon the gibbet. In
the eyes Of nearly all Christendom, the conduct
of England will be regarded as without excuse.
Chinese cunning is no match for English Gu
pidity, and the world will say that it would
sooner trust itself to the Chinese serpent with
its poison extracted than TO the power of the
English lion, with his paws raised 10 strike
down, and his jaws open to devour all who may
come within bis reach.

should have acted in the manner complained of

offender, my instructions 10 the squadron Oh as

pressed for Lieutenant Ross, while bringing the
