H. 129, in relation to monument to
Nathaniel Chapman.
Senator Butterfield opposed the pas
sage of the bill, not because it was to
take a sum not exceeding 5000 ont of
the treasury of the State, or because the
subject was not meritOrious, but because
it was inaugurating or carrying out a
policy that the State could not well sus-
tain. He was in favor of making such
for memorials to be placed
in or around the capitol of the State.
Senator Veazey advocated the passage
of the bill, giving brief history of the
last years of Nathaniel Chipman, stating
that his last resting place remained to-
day unmarked with any stone or monu-
ment, and that his grave could only be
pointed out by those who had had it
pointed to them by those who had passed
away. He made brief allusion to his
public life and services, to the State of
Vermont, and his extreme poverty, SUBJ
sisting, as he did during his last years,
as lieutenant in the Revolutionary war.
He outlived most of his relatives, who
were poorer than he was, and was buried
by his neighbors and strangers, who
were too poor to place stone at his
grave.
Senator Powers opposed the bill.
When you have once opened the door
for appropriations of this kind, it was
difficult to close it. Judge Chipmans
last moments were In the hearts of the
people. He was i'm favor of appropria-
tions to adorn the capitol of the State
and of the United States, but when YOU
come to step aside to erect monuments
in private cemeteries. he thought it was
taking responsibility not warranted.
He drew no discriminating line against
Judge Chipman. but regarded it as a
dangerous precedent.
Senator Bailey replied to the remarks
Of Senator Powers, and said he was sur
prised to hear him express himself
against precedent, when, yesterday, in
the case of the division of Westminster
ne said he was not afraid of precedents.
He hoped the Senate would decide this
case upon its merits without regard to
precedent.
Senator Reynolds advocated the bill.
Senator Bigelow thonght the Senator
Mr.. Powers) was mistaken in regarding
his as a precedent. We had already
money to erect a monu-
nent to Ethan Allen, and let us appro-
)riate something for distinguished ju-
list
Senator Wilson opposed the bill, but
was willing to contribute from his pri-
7ate purse for monument to Judge
Jhipman.
Senator Morrill, said he should vote
With pleasure for this bill.
Further advocated by Senator Bailey.

or Morrill, demanded the yeas and nays,

ing house, in Bradford, to dispose of

ion of the vote passing House bill 26S,
Antietam monument which was agreed
o, and on his motion, the amendment,
100 for s'50O" was recon-
idered.
