that delegate from Bennington county
other than Mr. Huling could be considered
only as territorial delegate.
Mr.. Abel of Rutland, apprehendcd no
such difficulty as suggested by the member
frcm Windham. If the delegate was
properly certified there was no way in
which the acts of the board could be i'm
pcachcd on his account.
The board could not 90 into an investiga-
ton rs to how each member was elected;
If they were only certified that was the
sole guide in the matter, and there was no
way to be governed except by that.
Mr.. Lyndc of Windbam said the creden-
tials of the delegate from Bennington
county were already presented, and if he
presents himself it will be all right he
did not believe the chairman of the county
convention would certifyto any other man.
If man presented himself properly certi-
fed, however, he should not object to his
admittanoc.
Mr.. Keith of franklin considered the
question solely as point of law, and rails
ed the supposition that some one outside
might say this was not lawfully elected
board. which would bring about disastrous
results,
Mr.. Dwinell of Washington said the law
on this point was conclusive. While he
regretted that Bennington county was not
represented, he still believed that it was
necessary TO have a delegate who should
represent all the interests that regular
delegate could represent. and be admitted
to all the rights of delegate, save that of
voting. If the motion now before the
board should be withdrawn he would make
such motion.
Mr.. Waterman of I.amoilc stated that if
it was the feeling of the board he would
willingly accept the amendment
Mr. Keith Of Franklin thought that if
the project was not legal the board had
best not commit itself at present.
Mr. Jones of Orleans, inquired if it was
at all possible that Mr. lIuling would re-
cover in time to be present during the con-
not Informed.
Mr.. Pollard Of Windsor suggested the
proprety of ascertaning if there was any
probability of Mr. Rulings early recovery.
Mr.. Keith of Franklin, submitted the
following dispatch for transmission to Mr.
Huling
"The convention have voted to admit a
delegate here, provided that he be men,
Der of the convention of Bennington
county"
Mr.. Chamberlin of Grand Isle, moved
that the former vote of the board Ike recon-
sidered, which was adopted, and the ques-
ton being on the amendment offered by
MIR. Keith, Mr. Chamberlin moved that the
same be further amended by the addition
of the word ''advisory" before the word
delegate which was so ordered ; the
board then voted to admit an advisory
delegate from Bennington county and the
dispatch submitted by Mr. Keith was or
dered to be sent to Mr.. lluling.
The president then presented the several
abstracts of the grand list of the different
counties in the state, to the use or further
action of the board.
Mr. Lynde of Windham, offered the fol.
lowing resolution viz
Resoloed, That the secretary be directed
to procure the printing of all exhibit that
shall give the population of the state in
1860 and 1870 and also of the valuation
of the real estate of Vermont by towns and
counties the total number of acres and
valuation thereof in 1865 the total num-
Der of acres and valuation thereof and rate
per acre of second class lands in 1870,
and the total number of acres, the valua
ton and rate per acre of second class lands
as established by county equalizing con-
ventions IN 1874.
Mr. Jones Of Orleans moved the adop-
ton of the resolution, which was carried
and the resolution was adopted.
Mr.. Parks of Caledonia moved that the
board adjourn till tomorrow morning at 8
o'clock.
Mr. Chamberlin of Grand Isle suggested
that something might be done towards or
ganization of the session, during the after
noon.
The motion, however, of Mr.. Parks pre-
vailed and the board adjourned.
The board is composed of excellent ma
terial, and the business of the session will
be without doubt dispatched in prompt
and satisfactory manner, with credit to the
members and the state. The members gen.
