hoped it was the last bill of this character
which the Legislature would be called upon
MrtBRUFF replied to Mr.. Stedman. IS.
Mr.. CURTIS spoke against the bill, and
trusted that the House would vote it down,
and thus prevent the opening of door
through which scores of bills of this char
acter would depressed upon the Legisla-
tufe, to consume Its whole time, perhaps,
at the next session. He claimed that town
ships which had, through meetings of their
citizens, authorized their military COM
mittees toborrow money to pay bounties,
should stand responsible for the payment
of the claims so authorized, instead OF fall
ing back upon the, he,Legislature for relief.
Mr.. ENCELL spoke in favor of the bill,
and deprecated any division of int1r st be-
tween the military, and civil members of
the House. He thought it would be no
hardship for soldiers or their widows to
pay their proportion of the tax provided
for in the bill, and did not believe they
were so selfish as to desire exemption.

Gus question, which was not sustained
