occasions when it has been befcre tire House
have little doubt that bill will be passed at the
present session, providing for such organization
The difference of opinion now Is mainly A. to
the extent of the organization which Is expedi-
ent at the present time. The leading men 't

cation Of but one or two regiments, that shall
serve as a police force, when such Is needed IN

be convinced that about 50 much is necessary
Mr. Dorr provides in the bill which he has report
of organizing and arning them At from one
hundred and sixty to two hundred thousand
dollars That one half or one third Of this force
will be organized seems now more probable than
that the bill will pass without such amendment.
Should this bill he rejected and another prepared.

So far as now appears there is r majority Of the
House in favor Of an active organization Of one
or two regiments. How the exptn'e Of the or

LEGISLATIVE DIRECTORY AND Manual
We are indebted to Henry Clark, ESQ, Sc
cretary of the Senate, for a copy Of the Di-
rectory and Rules of the Senate and House
of Representatives for the present session.
also a copy of the Manual Of the Legislature
of Vermont for 1868. The former is the re-
gular annual printed by order Of the Legis-
lature, containing the list of the several state
officers. and the members of the two legi7la-
tive bodies, and their several oficers-their
residences while in Montpelier, &c, the lists
of the several standing Committees, the rules
of Senate and House, &c.
The MANUAL published at the private ex-
pense Of some one, contains lists of the con
gressional delegation Of the State, its Judicial
Gus executive officers and the State Senators
and Representatives. with the date Of birth
and mention of the place Of the nativity for
each one. In addition to this there is given
the occupation and religious connection Of
each one. We doubt the wisdom of M king
either Of those last statements. The occupa-
ton Of the members in many casts, probably
in a majority Of them, Is a mixed one, and
therefore the statement must be more or les
inaccurate. The tendency Of such list Il
also to excite jealousies and promote clan
nish feelings among the members, which are
always to be avoided. The same objection,
and with greater force in our view, hes
against the designation of the religions con-
nection Of the members We know of no

ton. and as mere matter Of curiosity it is
as much out Of place as a description Of their

Henry Ward Beecher in England.

On the first arrival of Rev. Henry W ard
Beecher in England, he was urged to address
the people on affairs in this country. He
refused but intimated that if he should re-
turn-to England from his continental excur
sion he might then do SO. On his return
few weeks ago the request was renewed with
urgency; and he has spoken in Glasgow,
Manchester, Liverpool and London, to great
assemblies and with powerful effect. In the
present some who were resolutely captious
and disposed to interfere with hisspeaking I'M
interruptedly, the sentiment of the great mass
of those assembled was strongly in his favor.
He evidently reached the heart of the people,
and their qualification was shown with an
enthusiasm which could not be mistaken.
At Liverpool the case was considerably
different. This city was in former times aud
for long period the great centre of the
slave trade of the world; and probably no
city in Europe at this day contains in its
population 50 large proportion whose sym
pathies are with slave traders and slave
owners generally, and with those in particu-
lar who in this country are in rebellion and
striving to break up the United States for
the sake of slavery. Great efforts had been
made by incendiary placards about the city
to excite the people against Mr.. Beecher /;
and from the beginning to the end of his ad
dress the interruptions were so lncessant and
turbulent as to make it almost impossible for
him to speak two sentences in succession.-
Very few men in such circumstances could
have spoken at all. Though the majority
were evidently disposed to listen in an hon.
orable manner, the rowdy minority was too
numerous to be kept under any control
Even Liverpool papers not at all favorable to
the cause of the Union condemn the unman-
ly and disgraceful conduct of Mr.. Beecher's
ASSISTANTS With admirable self possession
and good temper, however. Mr.. Becker kept
his place and SAID has say in spite of all, and
his speech is printed at length in several
widely circulated English journals. The eff
feet of the whole affair cannot but be favor
able to our cause abroad

The DRATT.-It has recently been stoutly
asserted by the cOpperheads, and reiterated
by some republican papers, that in case of
another Draft in any State, the State would
receive credit only for the men actually fur
nished under the late Draft, and not at all
for those who purchased exemption. The
matter is cleared up in the following letter
from the Provost Marshal General
WASHINGTON, Nov. l.

H. A. p. NJ G. Men York;
The representations made by Dean
Richmond and Peter Cagger. in printed circu-
lar dated Oct 9th, 1868, in respect 10 the &C
ton of the Provost Marshal General. are untrue
1t is not true that the State of New York is
charged as with deficiency for every citizen
who has paid Communication money, receiving no
credit therefor. On the contrary the State re-
ceives the same credit for a man who has paid
Communication as if the drafted citizen had gone
in person, or furnished substitute, and in Ike
manner towns which have raised the money TO
pay their quotas receivels the same credit as II
actual substitutes had been furnished, and the
President has ordered every citizen who has paid
the $500 Communication shall receive the same
credit therefor rs if he had furnished suosti-
tute, and is exhonersted from military service
for the time for which he was drafted, to WIT
for three years As the misrepresentation OF
Dean Richmond and Peter Cagger have been
published and circulated for electioneering pur-
poses it is proper that you give them immediate
correction.
