The Military Law of Vermont.

To the Editor of The CaiedOnion
In The CALIFORNIAN of Sept II, find an
article headed "Field Officers of the New
Regiments" in which the writer calls atten-
ton to few provisions of the military law
ofthe State. And now, sir, with due respect
for the opinion of said author, suffer me also
to cite briefly few sections of our present
State militia law. At the last session of the
Congress Of the United States, "A bill was
passed to amend the act calling forth the mi
litia' to execute the laws of the Union, sup
press instructions, and repel invasions. APP
proved Feb %, 1895, and acts amendatory
thereof, and for other purposes" extending
the time of service of such militia to nine
months, instead of three, as heretofore. In
section one, of said bill, are these words, eff
by reason of defects in existing laws, or, in
or any of them, it shall be found necessary to
provide for enrolling the militia and other
