By Mr.. Dunshee, for Committee on Military
Affairs, against bill to pay State bounty to volun-
teers snlisung in the Invalid Corps, TO pay said
soldiers one hundred and twenty-five dollars each.)
Mr. Stone Of Westford thought 1t very desra-
BILE to pay this class Of soldiers, and that the bill
was free from some Of the objections which had
been urged with regard to other bills having q
similar object 10 view This was a proportion TO
pay q specific sum to about one hundred soldiers.
lie had learned that about eighty Of the one hun
dred men were wounded. and nine had each lost
a limb. lie thought these soldiers might be paid
without committing the State 10 pay Others.
MIR. Barnes OF Burlington stated that he bad
been urged by one OF the soldiers in question TO
use his influence to secure the passage OF such
bill. This soldier had family consisting Of
wife and six children. lie was trying to sustain
them on thirteen doll'rs per month. OF course
It could not be done, and the soldier had inquired
II he should send bis children to the poor house.
Such soldiers should be relieved, and that, not
uithstanding any amount OF taxation it might re-
quirs.
Mr.. Spear Of Brain,ree thought it wrong for
the State 10 take advantage Of mere technical
difference that existed in the nature of its obga-
ii, to the soldiers in question and others who had
Uttn Tauslttftu luto luc Nofls uoteh" VI
enlisted. lie should vote for the bill.
NJ. Boyce Of Fyston could see no reason why
a distinction should be made between these sol
diers and others 10 regard to payment. he
spoke with good deal Of earnsstness and al some
length in support Of the bill.
The yeas and nays were demanded by Mr..
Dwinel Of Marshfeld. The vote stood l0l TO
