RESOLUTION RELATIVE TO THE MILITIA LAW
Mr. Dorr OF Rutland, offered the following
important resolution:
Rsoued That is the debe jud gm Of his House
hat ATTN fh.
regulation and government of the Militia of this
approved Dec. , 1862 as 1t empower he Commander
nChef to order into t. service of the State,
bers Of the enrolled militia his Judgment any emer
geucy demand is SUN sient for any emergen which
arise, and that it therefore pedent this
sion OF the General Assembly 10 any act providing
for any other or different organization OF the militia OF
the State.
II reference to this resolution Mr.. Dorr re
marked hat the Militia question had received
much attention during the past two years. 1t
was unfortunately true that the action which had
been mad by the legislature was not such as had

to the people. When the House was ready to

action which should now be taken. He had
learned that when absent from his seat resou

hoped every member would be, ITO place

ton when the time for il should arrive.
Mr.. Dorr stated at some length the opinion Of
those who, taking different and to some extent op-
posi,e views upon this militia question, had made
representations of their views to the Committee.
The arguments derived from the difficulty of ef

Of the relations of the States and the General
4 Government, it was urged that the Senate were
to a great extent pledged to defeat any act for
an active organization.
| Another objection was fouzd in tt e prospective
expense OF such II easure. No one thought of
organizing less than brigade The expense at
I lowest estimate would be $l60 0OO 1t was sup
