TIE MILITIA D1IL. >,
On Thutsday to-day c bl: was introduced
and pas.td, On ths motion OF DISTINGUISHED
Scnnior, repcallug tho law passed at the lat
session for the organization and lt.ciplfte OF
the militia Of the State. This bill Is a most
pense Of millions, without return Of one
cents worth Of good; its provisions beiog
Erch that II could nerer he carried Into

Of those regions can make living for their
wives aud little ores. Now, suppose they
arc to be ordered out to muster 6otne six or
eight tim.a In n year snd fail to appear. the
fines would amount to about thirty or forty
dollars. Where 11ll these men get the money
to ray these finest And how could you get
them 10 pay out tteir hard earnings for that
purpose, when they hare freely given their
sons, their property, and some h4ye gone 80

Keeping certain parties in good, fit o1iicet-

There Stems to be a gcne1n1 disposition

Is very probable that tit Session will not last
