EnnaIlza1ion of RounIies.

The following are the main provisions Of

Friday by the Committee on Military affairs.
and passed by the House

aiers, Sailors and .Marines irho serred in
the late irGr for the Union.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House Of
Representatives Of the United States Of America,
in Congress assembled, That, instead Of any
grant Of land or other bounty, there shall be al
lowed to each and every soldier, sailor and ma
rine who faithfully served as such in the army,
navy or marine corps Of the United States, in
GLIDING those recognized by Congress in an act
entitled =" An act making appropriations for COM

purposes, approved Feb. 3, 1862, - and includ-
ing those borne on the rolls as slaves, and those
who have been or who may hereafter be honora.

eight and one-third dollars per month. or at the
rate of 500 per year, as hereinafter provided,
for all the time during which such soldier,
sailor or marine actually so served, between the
18th day of April. 1861, and the 9th day Of
April, 1866, and in the case Of any such sol
der, sailor or marine discharged from the SER
vice on account of wounds received in battle or
while engaged in the line Of his duty, the said
allowance OF bounty shall be computed and
paid up to the term Of service for which his en-

Equalization OF gountie..

The members Of Congress from the East
almost all voted against the Bounty bill, last
Friday, while the members Of the West
voted lo- it. The reason Is obvious; tic
Eastern States all paid bountizs to their
soldiers at the time Of enlistment, 90 that
none of them will now get any benefit from
this bill; nevertheless the Eastern States
will have TO pay their iull shane Of tax for
the bounties which 90 into the pockets of
Western soldiers. And TIE amount called
for by this bill is not small how much
even Mr.. Schenck who introduced 1t could
not tell the lowest estimate is one hundred
million dollars, and some put the figure as
high as three hundred millions.
Our representatives could not see why
this large additional tax should be demanded
of the country, because the Western States
were not rich enough, or large hearted
enough, to give their soldiers a sufficiently
liberal bounty at the outset; and they will
be backed up in their action by their cJns;i-
tuents.
The bill may fail of passage in the Sen
ate it is to be hoped that it viii.

HOUSE.

The Senate amendment TO the military bill
vss taken from the Speakers table.
Mr. Stevens moved for non-concurrence and
that the House ask for com. Of conference.
Mr.. Spaulding moved to concur in the amend
ments.
Mr.. Stevens yielded for twenty minutes 10
Mr.. Boutwell, who opposed the amendments and
spoke earnestly against any possible reeonstrue-
ton On a disloyal basis.
Mr. Stokes opposed the Senate amendment
because he saw in it universal amnesty and
universal suffrage, and he did not understand
the English language If ii did not enfranehite
every rebel in the Southern States.
Mr.. Stevens spoke at considerable length in
opposition to the Senate amendment
The House few days ago sent to the Senate
bill to protect loyal men IN the Southern
States but did not attempt the difficult task Of
reconstructing civil governments in those States.
1t has sent US back amendment which con-
tains anything else but protection.
Mr. Blaine spoke in support Of the amend
ment contending that II gave 10 more right TO
rebels TO vote than Congress had given them
when Tennessee was admitted. He denounced
Mr.. Stevens proposition for com. Of confer
ence.
Messrs. Wilson Of Iowa, Bingham and Farms
worth supported the bill as It came from the
Senate.
After further debate sIr. Blaine demanded
the previous question on the motion to concur
and it was seconded by 73 TO Ga. and the main
question ordered, l03 to 60.
Mr.. Stevens took the floor to close the debate
but Welded to several gentlemen who opposed
the Senate amendment. Before the expiration
of his time the half past four arrived and the
House took recess till half past seven.

\ New KIND OF TRiDE.-The scorpion crop

seventy thousand. These venemous insect

80 great was this pest, that in the time e.
the YIceroys they commenced offering

has always been continued. The old price
was six cents each, but it was found that the
annual increase was enormous, and it was
soon discovered that many OF the poor people
had taken 10 raising them for a living

The price was consequently lowered, and to
day it Is only half cent each; but 1t is
supposed that many people still find 1t pro-

\ INV RELIGIOUS PAPER.-The - Vermont
Coagrcgah0Hafa" is the title Of a religious
paper which it is proposed to publish in the
interest Of the Congregational denomination
Of this State, and Of which specimen num-
Der has been issued. Ii is to be edited by
Rev. !. Q. Bittngcr Of s.. Adams, assisted
by Rev. Messrs. Ellington, Chandler, erout,
Ford, Smith, Lord and White. The pub
Usher is c. w.Willari, Esq, of Montpelier,
the well known editor and publishers Of the
Freeman. The specimen number is very
well gotten up, printed from new type on
good paper, ard the subscription list is al
ready 500. The contents are short articles
on various religious topics and items of re-
lIgious interest. abstract Of current events,
miscellany &c, well written and compiled
The subscription price is $3.50; and 500
more names at least are to be obtained to
secure its permanent publication.
There has long been in the minds of many
a conviction that another and differently
managed religious paper was needed, and as
there was no hope of bringing the Chronicle
to the desired point, the CongregatiOnaEa
has been started. To succeed in getting
1000 subscribers to start with. will be pretty
good proof that the conviction was right
one.

4 correspondent of the n. y. Times, re-
lating the liquor seizures there, and the row
among the hotel keepers, says " one of the
peculiar laws of Vermont is that private
Louses cannot receive and entertain any
stranger for compensation"
The peculiar" law alluded to is the very
common and proper statute requiring innkeep-
ers to take out licenses. and forbIdding any
person to "become an innkeeper, or make ii a
business to furnish victuals, lodgings and &C
commodations for guests, without license.
There is nothing in the law which would
have prevented any citizen of St. Adams
from receiving and entertaining strangers,
