Mr. Dewey also objected that II this matter
were thrown into the March meetings and nom
nations made, they could at any time be re-
considered at adjourned meetings, when per-
haps few Of the freemen were present--and thus
the representative would be relieved from all
responsibility, and perhaps become merely the
tool of a party in his town. II any change

SENATE. Report.-From the committee
on Banks, In favor OF the bill relative TO mort
cages given by the Directors of Banks; and the
bill was ordered to third reading, and referred
TO the committee on the Judiciary. From the
committee on banks, in favor Of Incorporating
the Windsor County Bank. From the com
mittee on Elections, in favor of the bill pIovi-
ding that plurality, upon the Sd ballot, shall
be sufficient to constitute an election OF town
representative, with an amendment that If no
person shall receive plurality upon said third
ballot, the presiding officer shall Immediately
close the polls The question being upon the
adoption Of the amendment proposed by the
committee, Mr. Cahoon said, that he supposed
the object OF the bill was to cure an existing
evil, the temporary loss Of the privilege Of rep
resentation. But II the proposed amendment
was to be adopted, the remedy would frequent
ly prove inefficacious. A tie, upon The third
ballot, between the two highest candidates was
contingency that might frequently occur. and
ought 10 be provided for; but not in snch .
way as to debar the people from any further ex.
ertions TO obtain representative. This would
be defeating the intentions, and violating The
spirit Of the original bill. He hoped that III,
proposed amendment would be defeated, anC
that another of different character, permit
ting the voters to ballot until plurality wa
obtained, would be adopted in its place.
Mr. Camp remarked, that the apprehcndet
contingency was most likely TO happen in small
towns, where, from the very nature of the case
il presented no serious difficulty. The vote
, poled were not so many but that half dozeI
balIotings, if necessary, might be had in III
course Of the day, with but little Inconvenience
He thought the adoption Of the amendment un
called for and Unjust.
Mr. J. Barrett presented similar views.
Mr. Camp remarked, that bill of simila
character was pending in the other House
from which, perhaps. such bill ought proper
" to emanale. He therefore moved TO lay tn
bill before the Senate on the table; carried.
, Resolutions.-By Mr. Scott, requesting on
Representatives in Congress TO use their influ
ence TO procure the removal of the Circuit an
District Courts from Rutland and Windsor {
r Burlington and Montpelier; referred to the ju
, dietary committee.
Election of U. S. Senator.-The Senate re
:, sumed baoting with the following results:

7. s7lh, S S Phelps 10, S Royce Is.
(, Whereupon Stephen Royce was declare
elected, upon the part OF the Senate.
The Senate then repaired to the Hall of III
: House of Representatives to complete the sal
!. : election.
y Upon its return the Senate adjourned.
,rl Q O'Clock, P. M.
o The Senate took up the House bill, incorpc
n rating Windsor County Bank. The bill w'
l. read the third time, and the question being u
e on its final passage,
J: Mr. Moves said, that he observed that III
il charter as the bill proposed, extended from 81
,fl to 1864, two years longer than the ordinar
period. He entertained no unkind feelings /,
" wards this institution, but was not aware WI
IS it should be made the subject OF any partculi
,r favorilism. He moved to amend so as TO lin
v the charter to term of fifteen years.
IS Mr. j. Barrett remarked, that by the gener
j. law of 1910, the bank would be subject to Il
l. control OF future legislation. If il unwarran
D ably abused its privileges, its charter might e
re silly be vacated. He thought it immateri
A. what particular duration was assigned 10 Il
" Banks existence, and believed that the amen
: ment could subserve no useful purpose.
Ir After few further remarks by Mr. Cahoo
Id Mr. Camp, Mr. Chittenden, Mr. Billings aud
r., Briggs, the amendment, upon the motion
IS Mr. j. Barrett, was laid on the table.
