LEGISLATURE OF VERMONT.

The business OF the SESSION 10 oeinS
transacted, not hastily, but with credit
able amount of dcliberation, and proba-
bly all acts and resolves will be those
that will best subserve the interests OF the
State. -....
A bill to increase the legal rate of in
terest to Z and 3-l0ths per cent has been
introduced and will probably secure pas
sage At this time such an act may be
called for; as a reason for this the general
government pays high rate and mon.
led men invest in its boLds and Securities
rather than supply the needed capital o.
the. country at lesser rate. The same il
the case with banks.
This enactment should have its limits
for the general government will not al
ways pay and 3-l0ths per cent, and as
soon as its notes come down so should the
price allowed banks and individuals.
The several reports of the State officers
have been presented and make good show
ing for both officers and State.
-a An act to repeal the present Militia
Law has been introduced, and makes a
good showing for passage. We hope
something will be done to relieve the state
from the miserable abortion of a militia
law which the State possesses.
