Nh. Crothsrs hoped the Bill would be
ordered to cngrossment; the money to be
appropriated Was for the subsistence OF the
militia who were out during the Jones
raid. 80
Mr.. Robinson favored the Bill. The
House had already made appropriations for
the payment Of civil purposes, and it was
proper and right that the militia claims
should be paid. lie therefore moved that
the rules be suspended, and the Bill passed
Mr.. Golf said he hoped the Bill would
not pass. The State was not now prepared
to meet these claims he had number OF
similar claims, and did not expect them to
be paid now. Mr.. Ross favored the Bill;
the money to be appropriated was for the
subsistence of the militia who were out
during tho raid, and should be promptly.
paid By the State. 81 --f-o
Mr.. Barnes was for paying the soldiers if
they could not get subsistence from the
United States, our State should willingly
furnish it. $3.50 - -,s....
Mr.. Wheat was opposed to the Bill ; it
was not proper that the militia of one sec.
ton should receive an appropriation and
the other go without any; let the gentle
men who favored the Bill go to Dixie pro.
per, and learn how the border counties bad
suffered; many men there had paid hun
dreds of dollars out of their own pockets
for the subsistence Of militia and home
guards.
Mr.. Davidson hoped the Bill would be
laid over; the Bill had never been printed,
and he thought this was rather hasty lsgis-
lation; for his part, when the militia were
called out, he subssted company for
week at his own expense.
Mr.. Ross said the claims had been before
the committee and were reported as correct:
what further action did members ask 3
There could be no doubt as to their cor
reetness. e-~ .-..-ss se-' 1..-- --s-.-
Mr.. Robinson said the House had been
some time perfecting militia system, and
would it now refuse to make an appropria-
tion for the subsistence Of the men who
had been out in the service
Mr.. MGrew was Of the opinion that
there was no Just claim for the passage of
the Bill at this time. Why was it post
poned until the eleventh hour. He was
not aware that the claims were drawn up
in the proper form. he was in favor OF
laying the Bill over.
Mr.. Turner hoped the Bill would be pass
ed, as the militia should be subsisted; if
this Bill had been before us when the Jones
raid, he had no doubt it would have been
passed.
Mr.. Wheat said he had no doubt about
the business Of the claims, but on the prin-
ciple of equity he would vote against the
Bill. -...-..-..-. .s.s,- ...-.
Mr.. Hagar was in favor Of paying all
Just dues to the militia, but he did not wish
to see few paid at the expense of the
whole. If his life was spared, st the next
session lie would bring up bill for the
payment of other companies
A vote being taken, the House refused
to suspend the rules, and the Bill was com
mitted to the committee on Taxation and
Finsnce .-5.--.L ....r. ...g... .a.-.
