Special Orde'-The bill providing TO pay
the seven dollars per month State pay
to substitute soldiers came up as special
order, and the pending question was
upon so amending the bill as to exclude
from its provisions substitute soldiers
who were not resident citizens of Yer
mont at the time Of their enlistment
Mr. Dorr of Rutland spoke at conside-
rable length to the effect that no dis
tinction should be made between substi-
tutes from abroad and those who were
citizens of Vermont. He favored pay
ing the bounty to all alike.
Mr. Rounds of Chester believed il would
not do to make any distinction between
foreign and home substitutes in this
matter. 1t would make trouble in camp.
The com. on military affairs had report
ed against the bill, after taking into full
consideration the difficulty of distin-
gushing between worthy and patriotic
/
other States or Canada and enlisted
from purely mercenary motives He ex-
planned at some length the considera-
lions which had Influenced the com. to
report against the bill, and was of opin-
ion that to leave the matter as it is for
the present would be the best way.
| Mr.. Wheeler of South Hero believed
| that the true and patriotic men of Yer
| mont who had enlisted as substitutes
should not be put upon the same footing
with merely mercenary soldiers. Helm
| clined to believe that it would be better
for the. State to pay bounties to the vol
| unteers who enlisted at the beginning
of the war, as first step in paying
| bounties.

Stone Of Westford, Tyler of Whining
| ton, Wilson of Bakersfield, Barlow of St.
