THIRD READING OF BILLS,


An act explanatory Of chapter 1888 Of the Cen
eral Statutes entitled ofmechancs and other llensi
passed.
TMr. Root OF Shelburne, was excused, at his
reoues, from attendance during the remainder oil
the session..
The bill relating to estrays, &C., was taken up
as unfinished business, and the question was upon
adopting the amendment allowing the selectmen
Of any town to grant the privilege TO poor man
having only one COW 10 let that COW run IN lhe
road rom May to December, ifhe prevents her
from running at large in the night time.
Mr.. Hluckley Of Cheleea, favored the bill with,
out the amendment 1t was iuconyenlent and
mpoli,ic to allow cattle to run in the road, even
under the restrictions proposed IN the amend
ment
The amendment was rejected by vote Of Al
to so.
The question then occurred on the passage oil
the bill.
Mr.. Shaw stated that as the law now stands 1t
will not be enforced, because il leaves any man,
who CHI SO to do so, to prosecute for It's VIOLATION
and of course generally men Y i'll take upon them
selves 10 do this and hence the law is practically
inefficient.
MIR. Rounds though, the facts did not bear out
tho statement, made by the gentleman from bur
Iiugton. IL did not appear that the existing law
was practically inefficient. There were no in'
stances before the committee who had considered
,hi. question, TO show that such was the case.
The yeas and nays on the passage of the bill
we're yeas 96, nays lis, and the bill was lost.
An act TO incorporate the Mount Anthony ob-
servatory Association passed.
The House ooncurred in Senate amendments q

BY Mr. Colby for Committee on Ways and
Means, against bill relative to the grand list or
dered TO lie.
The bill was subsequently called up and dis.
cussed BY Mr. Wheeler OF South Hero. The
point Of The bill is that the listers shall be re-
auired to demand written statement OF their
property from property holders. 1t was urged
in the support Of the bill, that as the law now is
listers are merely men who guess, ba, do not
know, the amour, Of property they should enter
upon the list. While listers now have the priv
lege Of making such demand, they never do it,
from feelings Of personal regard for those whose
property they have TO estimate. Millions oil
dollars Of personal property would be taxed,
which now escape taxaiion, If this bill should be-
come law. 80.
Mr.. Marcy stated in behalf Of the committee
that they had thought beat 10 report against ths
the bill because il would make q good deal ol
trouble to require every property holder TO write
ou, a list and make oath TO is correctness. The,
did not think II beat to regard all the people o.
Vermont as kpayes because one man perhaps in I
hundred or a thousand would attempt 10 con
ceal .he real amount OF bis property. ~

BILLS.
By Mr.. Thornton Of Mendon, an act restoring
Dayton daily empire. [volume] (Dayton [Ohio]) 1850-1865, 1863-03-06
A Revolution.

Our whole political system Of the peace
establishment, including the subordination
OF the Federal Government to the will Of the
States and the people, will be reversed; fol
the States and the people be rendered sub
ordinate to the will of the Federal Admins
tration. And this will be done, too, through
the duly elected representatives of the States
and the tpepple IN Congress assembled.
This most remarkable political revolution
IS now within a few days of its contamination.
The Militia Bill which has passed, places an an.
der the control of the President, for the uur.
poses Of tbs war adj the militia of the United
States; the Banking bill, which has passed,
and the 'freasury note or financial bill, which
Is sunder Consideration, will invest him with
an almost Unlimited power over the banks,
finances aud currency of the country and
that other bill which is pending before the
House, pr6vidihg for the suspension of the
writ of habeas corpus will give him full au.
thority over the liberties Of the Individual cit
zen IN a word, we may say that with the
Adjournment Of this Congress, on the 4th of
March, Presideht Lincoln, for the two years
remaining dfh his term Of Office, WILDE clothed
with diotalgial powers, political, military and
93Ancial oyer State and eitiaen,--N r.
World ..,. .,..t... .s...... /.
Dayton daily empire. [volume] (Dayton [Ohio]) 1850-1865, 1863-03-06
The COnsCriptinn nm.

The bill places everything under the con.
troll of the Federal Government The Presi-
dent is to appoint Provost Marshal for each
congressional district who not only makes all
rules and regulations for carrying cut the
DRAFT, but who is to act as an informer, and
report all reasonable practices" in his dis.
trict. Even the enrolment is TO be under the
charge of this Provost Marshal and two other
persons appointed by the President There
may be those who will fear that these Boards
will be composed of political partisans---of
men who will not perform the duty of their
office fairly and honestly There seems to be
no restraint or check upon them. The Gov
ernor of State is nullty No State au-
thorily is recognized under the act
There are very few exempts-the law laws
its iron grasp upon every person. In the
first class is included every able bodied man
between twenty and ibrtyrfve years of age,
MARI led, or unmarried and between twenty
and iorty'fve years il married In theseeond
class, all others, regardless of age, are in.
cluded--the boy Of fourteen and the old man
of seventy,
There are several severe provisions in the
act, which, in the hands of nnprincipled men
or besotted partisans--and as vet those two
classes embrace the large portion of tboae
who have held Office under the present AID.
m'nistratlon-ma be used in tyrAnnical
manner. Summary arrests are authorized for
"dissuading' any person 'from performing
military duty" We have seen in the past
that the issuing of a hoaxing handbill-the
comment of a newspaper upon, the course of
the Administralinn-the remarks of a ,publie
speaker on the progress or prospect Of the
war--any word, in fact, falling from the lips
or pen Of an opponent of radical aboltionism,
has been held to be "diseouraging enlist
ments," and has been regarded as an offense
worthy of arbitrary arrests and the denial Of
the writ of habeds corpns. s.-Atlas g. Arous.
