I 10 authorize towns to raise money to pay boun-
ties to drafted men when they are citizens oil Ver
mont not to exceed usual State pay
| Mr.. Keith Of Mortified favored this bill on the
consideration that towns could make the proper
discr mnilion between substitutes worthy oicom-
pensation aad bounty, and merely mercenary sub
stitutes from other states Hence the objection to
the other b providing that state pay should be
given to substitutes, did not exist with regard to

agricultural Colieg,-Fhe proposition to recon-
slider the vote passing the House Bill to repeal
the Agricultural College act oil last year came up
as specal order.
Mr.. Sswall Of Lunenburgh spoke in favor Of
reconsidering the vote.
Mr.. Tyler Of Wilmington hoped the vote in
question would not be reeonsidered. The whole
question had been thoroughly discussed and
conclusion reached with due deiberation.
Several plans had been favored at different
times but il had become apparent that they could
not be carried out TIE first proposition had
been to unite the existing collegiate institutions
of the State with the Agricultural College. II
soon became apparent that this was impraciltable
because the institutions themselves would not
unite Then there had been proposition to
unite the agricultural college with one OF these
institutions To this there were many objections,
made by the people generally. The plan would
not give satisfaction. The conclusion reached
was that separate institution, devoted exclusive
| ly TO agriculture, would best meet the wants OF
the State lie gave his own view OF What an az
ricutural college should be. 1t should not be
free TO all without ex euse, but an institution
that men would be willing TO patronlze and pay
for.
Mr. Lane of Cornwall was opposed TO the re-
consideration of the vote 10 question because the
bill repealed did not propose to carry out the
true idea OF an agricultural college, or the design
OF Congress in donating ths Land.
Mr. Keith Of Mortified said that the act Of
! t.I xxbg nUFl
culture should be the eadng interest The bill
repealed proposed to unite an Agricultural College
department with others, not as first, or second,
but lhird,-becluse the Vermont University had
already medical department as second. bat
was the whole argument end the vote repeating
the act of last year ought not to be recons'dered
Mr. Dolph Of Warren, moved the previous
question and it was ordered
Mr.. Wires Of Underhi demanded the yeas
and nays ;-yeas "a, nays l5S. So the House
refused to reconsider.
