former practice Of his House, in ousling postmas-

DIVISION OF WINDSOR COUNTY.
Mr. Bowman called up the petition Of Harry
bingham aud others, and moved It's reference to
the members of Windsor County. On this mo-
ton prutmccd debate cnsued, the chief points
OF which wc state briefly, us II fail report would
exceed our limits both Of time and space. The
motion of Mr bowman was advocated Ivy Messrs
Wurdncr, Davis of n, Robbins aud Billings, who
claimed that this case did not come within the or
binary rule which required dislnlercSICd commit
tee. The people Of Windsor county were most
Immediately and particularly interested, and their
wishes should be consulted the members from
that county were moreover best acquainted with
the geographical situation Of the county, and with
all the facts necessary to be known on this ques-
ton. Should the matte, he referred 10 them, an.
lng forth all the material facts on bo,h sides, up
ON which the House could make up It's judgment.
Last year, different course Ind been pursued,
and the result was that the friends Of division were
dissatisfied, us was shown By the increased nun
Der of petitions now sent on for presentation. 1t
was suggested in the course Of debate, that the
purpose oithr fIcnds of division was 10 refer the
question to the people Of Windsor county, 10 vote
upon il, aud their decision wOU!d be uCquIGsced in
on their part. On The other hand, Messls Dcuison
If IT,, Spraguc, Russ, Van Sickn, Harrington
aud Shailer, opposed the reference proposed by
Mr. Bowman. The llouse desired an impartial re-
port Of facts, which could be had only from dis
interested committee, composed Of persons re-
mote from the county. This could not he eSpGc-
ted from the members Of the county, who had al
ready prcudged the case, and who would una
vodably, perhaps, in the collection Of facts, aim
only 10 sustain their own views. II was also in
sisted that the nd Olnlng counties OF Rutland, W ind
ham and Orange were deeply Interested in this
question, indeed the whole State waS interested H.
additional county differs, would make additional
eXpensc--and it was not righ, TO subject these IN
rercsls to the keeping Of the members from Vi ind
sor county. Before any question was taken,
The Senate came IN, aud the joint assembly
