- COUNTY BONDS.

issue war bonds, lew tlxesto paw them &c, was
read the second time.
Mr.. Coffroth insisted that the bill was unnec
essary. The burden of taxation might be 10

out Of the State and prevent Others from com
ing ia.
Mr.. Kilgore spoke against the bill. Il would
be unjust to liberal citizens.
Mr.. Brown thought the bill wonld not estab
lish a uniform bounty system he wanted the
states to furnish all men called for by the presi
dent OF the United States. and pay bounties out
of the state treasury
Mr.. Newcomb explained the provisions of the
bill so far as to do away with some objections
that had been raised against X. His desire was
to avoid the waste and extravagance heretofore
in vogue in the paving of bounIies
Mr.. Wright objected to the bill because it
taxed the soldier in the field to benefit those who
STAYED at home.
Mr. Griffith opposed bounties everywhere.

m AFTERNOON. .lfa
Bill 20 was continued in discussion in commit
tee of the whole.
Mr.. Brown opposed the bill. He hoped that
no enactment wonld be placed upon our statute
book dscouraging enlistments. Should the sys
TEN of volunteering be adopted, or should we.
with manacles and stripes, drag men from their
homes to FIJI our armies !? He was for making
our cause so high Just and holy that each man
would voluntarily spring TO its support. He
would not have u cause such as would REQUIRE
the dragging of men as conscripts TO its support
BE opposed the bill with great pow er. He showed
how under it everything would operate TO the
benefit Of the large ard wealthy counties.
he vac opposed 70 al local bounties. he was
for the state declaring what i, would give. Thus
you would do away with bounty brokerage. Let
the rule be uniform throughout the state. The
question was upon Us. Whut can we DO to ar
rest this terrible calamity which is upon usI
This system OF uniformity must be adopted, or
you must let the draft in all his horrors come
upon Us. We must now do cur duty. The war
was uoon US. He was proud that he was a peace
man, but be was also proud that be had con-
trIbuted TO I'll all the necessities of war.
After further debate the committee rose, re-
ported progress, and asked leave TO sit again.
which was granted, and the House adjourned til
