ET The New York Times concludes
On article on the sentence of Surgeon Gen.
Hammond as follows:
This mans ruin is fearful lesson up
on the moral necessity of avoiding temp
tation. Undoubtedly Surgeon General
Hammond began with as honest aims as
any public official. He had every en-
couragemeat to the loftiest ambition. He
could have identified his name with this
immortal struggle, so that itself should
have shared in the same glorious immor-
taity. In an evil hour he listened to
temptation, and the result is that he will
be remembered only 10 be loathed, and "a
serve as an example of the infatuaton of
betrayirg public trust for gold. He
walks free, indeed; but 10 the eye o.
every honest man the rags OF the beggel
shire like regalia when seen 10y the side
OF his rich apparel. 1t behooves every
young man, whether in public trust OIL
private trust, to note this piece of human
experience. The present generation ]:
undoubtedly very enlightened and smar
one, but there are some homely old max
inns about honesty it has not yet mana gee
to undo. Il still holds true that thos.
who undertake to undo them are, soone
or later, undone themselves.

Bills intredaeed and referved-By MI

voters in town, city and school district
meetings; agreed to and bill ordered to
third reading.
MIitia-S AZ, for organizing the mill
tia, was taken up, the question being
upon Mr. Reeds amendment.
Mr. Reed stated that the Executive had
positive information that there may be
at any time an emergency which will
demand large number of troops, to be,
at least, in readiness for duty, and he
therefore withdrew his amendment and
moved to strike out the section which
provides for the pay of the troops when
in service. He thought the expense,
Which would be incurred by paying our
soldiers, too great for our already over
taxed people, and that the State can
safely trust to the patriotism of her
citizepS
Mr. Wood thought it manifestly unjust
to ask a portion of our militia to serve
without reward. 1t is not q question of
saving expense, but of right and Justice
between the State and her soldiers. 1t
would not be fair, nor even judicious. to
ask these l2,0O0 men. mostly young and
poor men, to serve without any eoripen-
sation whatever.
Mr. Chapman said the State desires
an efficient military organization He
had heard friends Of the bill argue that
she great expense OF the system would
kill it in few years, after the present
war is past. But he thought it should
be made permanent, and this by making
it as inexpensive as possible. He ex,
pected to come under the provisions of
the bill it should pass, aud he thought
he had patriotism enough to labor for
the State without any compensation,
