Mr.. EDITOR:

MR.. EDITOR:
rts SO AS some person has seen
fit to assert that the subscriber was the
author and advocate of the militia bill,
which was enacted at the last session
Of the General Assembly, it is perhaps
not improper to say that | was neither
the advocate nor the author OF that
measure. The Bill originated with the
military committee, the road working
clause was introduced in order to IA
vor the scruples of those who feel con-
scientiously opposed to contributing to
military operations of any kind; and
the act was passed without the consent
and against the will of the subscriber.
In short, l opposed the bill, both by my
vote and argument. If the act be pop
ular and well received, | am not entl-
