TEMPERANCE AGAIN-INrKREsrING pHnATE
Mr. BISHOP moved to recommit the bill, and alluded to
the Inconsistencies Of the veto message 1t mis-
statement pretended
be quoted. 1t was contradiction throughout He
withdrew his motion.
Mr. CROSBY had doubt if the bill passed it would
increase litigation in the communityf the pockets Of
the lawyers alone It would be rich harvest for that
class. He was opposed to the bill
Mr.. DICKINSON hoped the bill would pass.
Mr. RICHARDS objection to the present laws was that
they unequal. The argument OF the opponents of
prohbitory law had been that we had laws enough-it
was only necessary that they be enforced He
surprised at the inconsistency of the opponents Of the
| prohibory law manifesting itself on the bill.

in consequence of the general desire pass prohibtory
law intended 10 do away with this entire system Ee
hoped instead of passing this bill regulating the traffic,
should yet strike at the very root of the evil He
garded 1t granting special charters 10 engage in the
liquor traffic and then pass little petty geneallaw to
eguate this matter. His object in giving notice of
III to-day was to repeal this special charter system He
| referred that the bill be laid aside:
ucsion sustaining the veto of the Governor without
discussion, because number of members de sired TO
placed himself against pronbitory laws altogether He
regretted friend OF temperance, that this question
must go down to the next canvass He regretted that
the who stood at the head of the troops
in this State had-not in many words but in effect
sustained the veto had prepared feather bed for the

the session. he hoped act would be passed to put
this traffic out of existence He doubted the efficacy of
this bill.
Mr. DICKINSON remarked that the Senator from the Sc
venteenth partizan ought to have known that the
would be vetoed.
Mr.. DASronrn had no doubt of it was the first.
Mr. DICKINSON had seen the men who brought about
this veto Prince John Van Burep here $ he was

concocted at Washington by the Lecretary of State Ho

Mr.. PRATT, he understood this debate, il amounted
TO a post mortem examination Of the prohibtory law
which had been killed this morning. He thought the
bill would have unequal and unfavorabe effect and
he would prefer trying to enforce present laws lit
tie farther.
Mr. SPENCER believed it an honest vote He could no
understand why the Senator from the Twenty sixth de-
sired to mix this matter mp with politics-nor could he
understand why party tactics had been brought to bear
postpone the law going into effect until December.
Mr. DlcKrNsoY-It was but Just 10 those who were en-
gagged in the business that time should be given to close
up this business,

Mr. DIcKINsoy-Does he live in sandy HILL where they

But sir after this bill has gone to the Governor, who
consulted in regard TO it2 Edward G. Deevan. Who
first Jaw the message Edward C. Deevan? Who first
gsyo public notice that the bill would be vetoedy Edward
G. releyan. He thought that in this course Mr.. Deevan
had forfeited his claims the leader of the Temperance
in this State. This apostle Of temperance deserved
the reprobation Of every in this community for
coming out and paving the for the Governors veto

Mr. WILKINSON thought the friends Of Temperance
should not be dishearened hy these We had

Still, take courage from adversely, and pass

might stand in the way.
Mr. CROSBY was surprised 10 these dissensions in
the ranks OF those who had long stood shoulder to
shoulder that they snould attack one Of their prime
movers He liked consistency in this matter. He
believed the Governor would be sustained by the com
munity in his action not politically for he had not the
shadow Of party hanging at his heels. He awarded
him consistency in this matter. Who but Nr. neavan
desired what the action Of the Governor would
