jec,ed. BY General committee, against bill in
addition 10 the act Of 1874 relating to licenses
Mr. Jones Of Chelsea supported the bill as neces.
sary to construe the law-Mr Russell argued
that the law itself involved constitutional
question as to the power Of the State to inter-
fere with trade. lie contcnded that the law
was not uniform throughout the State, in some
counties il being practically different from what
it was in others. Again he thought It the duty
Of every community TO supply suitaO'e places
for the convenient entertainment OF travellers.
But under the present law, in some counties,
no sue places exist, for the inns required 10 be
kent were without some of those convenlences
deemed so necessary by many Of the travelling

on Military Affairs, bill in relation TO Militia,
providing for the removal of staff officers. Mr.
Russell thought it was an extension of execu-
tive power aud ought not to pass. Mr. Howe of

thought the appointing power ought to have
the power to remove. Mr. Button favored the

ed the bill. Mr. Barlow and Mr. Stevens opposed
il. Mr. Barlow moved to dismiss the bill car
ried. BY committee on Education, on the peti
ton of Calvin Townsley and others, bill to in
corporate the Bratteboro' Hydropathlc lntlrma-
nv. Mr. Kendrck moved to dismiss the BILL
Mr. S,oddard thought public opinion in the vcin
ty of Braitcboro' was decidedly in favor of The
institution, and thought it was calculated to do
great deal of good. Mr. Hall of b. sad the
people in its vicinity were very favorable to the
infirmary. There had been one hundred pa.
tients there within the last six months, most OF
whom we're much benefited. and many entirely
cured. 1t wanted the Incorporation to concen-
trate funds to carry on its operations, and he
considered this act quite necessary, and an act
of Justice. Mr. Thomas thought the act Of in.
corporation was free from objection, the private
property being holden, and the act subject to
future Legisatures-that it was harmless at any
rate, and he was disposed to try il for one year
at least Mr. Hazen, Of II. inquired whether
the conductor of that institution had not recent.
" come from foreign penitentiary! Mr. Fair.
banks in answer said that he believed the gen.
teman in question was imprisoned in Germany
on account Of his republican principles. Mr.
Kendrck thought, if the Hydropathists or any
, other school wished to duck their patients, they
, should do it on their oUn hook. Mr. Rice sad
that the craft were strongly opposed to the BILL
as a matter Of course. lie thought that sue
cess had attended this practice in great many
! cases, and noticed some instances. Mr. Con.
verse said that it was true he belonged TO the
, craft, but he had no hostility to any practice that
was calculated TO do good. But he thought it
trflng to legislate upon every new thing that
arose, before its utility was fairly tested. He
thought the fare at the Institution rather high,
$40 week for cold Dater and pet sheets. MIR
Danforth thought the subject not one for rdi-
r cue. The petitioners were respectable. and
, they ought to be treated in a respectable man.
f ner. Moreover, the bill was free from ohjec.
ton, being within the control of future Legis.
latures, and private property holden for its La
bilitles. Mr. Thomas thought. as matter Of
economy, the bill ought to pass for if men
, could be made to live by ,oet sheets and cold
, ,cater, it was a new and important discovery.
Mr. Fairchlld said it did not appear that the
head of that Institution ever had diploma, or
, was qualified for his duties. lie was impris.
1 oned in Germany, and left on condition Of
his not returning again. lie acknowledged
himself one of the craft alluded to, whose bust
ness was to ameliorate the condition Of the
human race every where. There were many
, humbugs il the world that had sprung up and
l had their day, which professed to be panaceas
\ for the ills OF the race, and he believed this
one, and that if the Legislature chartered this
, Institution, they would have the consolation,
in few years, of looking back and seeing
