tain what volunteers are meant, and al,o auhori-
zing towns to raise money to pay bountes already
voted; amendments agreed TO.
Mr.. EdmunGs proposed further to amend the
bill SO that it should not be prospective in It's &C
tion SO far as raising volunteers hereafter is con-
cerned.
Mr. Stewart said he should have less objection
TO the proposed amendment { be believed il
would cure the evil which it was intended TO rem
edy. HI believed it would be impossible to pre-
vent communities, by voluntary subscriptions
from paying btuutiesi volunteers should be here
after called Tor, and while thai was so he thought
it better 10 let these communities in their organi
I'D capacity as towns, settle the question tc
themselves.
Mr. Cree moved that The bill aud proposed
amendment lie on the table, nlsmuch as Their
were several bills having the SINE object ,,ti,l befor
the Committees, and be thought but one bill shoul
| pass, which should embody al the good proyis
ous OF all the bills.

ious TO have immediate eeaon on bin, an
perhaps for that reason Tue SeEaIe had better ac
now

State, few days delay would not make any ma
terial difference The bill was ordered 10 lie.

Mr.. Cree called up House bill 10, authorrir
towns to pay bounlirs TO volunteers. Theques,it
was on the amendment proposed by Mr.. Edmund
Mr.. Edmunds, said be deemed it unwise for 4
Legislature TO au,horit, towns to raise money
pay bounies hereafter voted 10 volunteers. |
i'd not ADM, the force Of the argument th
uch legislation should be rtsorted to becau
communities would do the same by volunta
5, ton without the law He thought the dri
tie true way 10 fill up the army, aud that t
. sistem OF paying nouutes was fruitful source

ing bounlie., decidedly opposed 10 providing
law Tor an, such action btrealler
Mr.. Cree thought no wrong or injury won
result from law authorizing towns 10 pay mon
Z in future. Ii would he no worse than the Ii
i which allows towns 10 rNlse what money tn
pleased for highways and other purposes
!, there NO I'D be- no more evil in The com petti
Z in one case than in the other.
Mr.. S,oush,on did not think 1t wise for t
