Columbus Jan. 27.-The Senate had the pro-
posed amendments TO the Bounty Law under
discussion, in Committee of the whole during
the entire day. In saying amendments TO the
Bounty Law, an explanation is necessary, to
wit: That the bill before the Senate is properly,
and in all its essential provisions, an entirely
new measure. Instead of the original bill, as
introduced by Mr.. Lockwood into the House,
and which simply proposed so amend the 10th
section ofthe present bounty law so as to permit
a bounty of two hundred instead of one hunred
dollars, this bill proposes to pay State bounty
equal to the amount paid by the general Gov
eminent for vOlunteers-that is one hundred
dollars for one year, two hundred dollars for
two years, and three hundred dollars for three
years, and prohibits cities and townships from
hereafter raising money, in their corporate ca
pacity, for the payment of bounty. To raise
the money a loan is to be negotiated by the
fund commissioners and the amount is to be
paid torecruits, not in a lump, but by INSTALL
ments. The discussion to-day was confined en-
tirely TO single proposed amendmentlviz: To
substitute "twO hundred" for lone hundred" as
the bounty for one year, and "two hundred and
fifty" for two years.
Some time in the distant future, the Senate
may come TO some conclusion, but lO.en or autat,
it is useless to predict
