Option bill was passed, IL to 3--Messrs. Hcu-
Erickson, Hopper Lydeclser.. 20 Aeaf ~om
!, Passed--supplement to act empowering rail-
road companies to employ a police force for
compulsory attendance of children at school.
The Senate concafred in the House resolu- |
ton to holdits sessions another week. ~
HOUSE, The supplement to the act corsti- |
tuting the National Guard was taken up. ~
This bill was introduced by Mr.. Vanderbilt,
and it came upto-day on it's second reading.
Mr. Vanderbilt introduced a number of
amendments by which tho force is reduced to
20 companies Of infantry,3 of cavalry, and 2
batteries of artillery. Tho present force con-
sists of 90 companies of infantry, companies
of cayarly, and two batteries of artillery.
The objectof these amendments, said Mr.
Vandcrbilty was to reduce the cost Of the mil
itary, which now reach the sum of nearly |
100000. The cost of the cnenmpment at
Cape May reached the neighborllood Of $780,
600. The encampment was held at an cx-
tremc end of tho State, increasing the cost of
transportation. The transportation of horses
for tho officers to ride was enormous. Why |
not hold the encampment in some central part
of the State which would decrease the cost ? |
The force provided for by the amendments
was amply sufficient for all the purposes of
the State, as every man can see for himself. -
There was no danger of foreign invasion, for
the general Government would meetany such
emergency. The only necessity for the State
Militia is the protection of the people against
riots, and this force with the present facilities
for transportation, is equal to any emergency. i
This is simply q matter of reform. Its object
being to reduce the expenses of the State $780,
900 per annum. ,..,....r-.,
The amendments of Mr. Vanderbilt were
agreed to, and the bill ordered to Sd reading.
