MONTPELIER, Nov. "a
The last day of the session of the Gen.
eral Assembly commenced briskly, but the
House soon fel! into the line of the usual
daily debating school. The first opportu-
nifty offered was upon the bill providing
for the employment of the inmates of the
Reform School, the question being on the
third reading of the bill. 1t met with
spirited opposition from the fact that ma
jorty had become con WINGED that there
was n job behind it for the benefit of the
superintendent of the institution. The leg
islature have already appropriated 500, 900,
amounting to s160 for each boy now in
the school. The title of the bill being one
liable to deceive, purporting to be for the
employment OF the boys at the school,
when it was in fact only device to sell
the state property above its cash value.
Whcreupon Mr.. Newell gave notice that If
the bill should pass he should move to
change It's title TO " An act to purchase the
property belonging to Mr. Fairbanks at not
less than double its cash value" The
board of trustees have previously refused
to purchase the property, and this act was
TO force it upon the state A motion was
made to provide surgeon for the Reform
School at a salary of $4,000. which was
not agreed to, and the third reading of the
bill refused by the emphatic vote of yeas
40, nays 81.
The next opportunity offered for for
ensic display was the bill to pay Julian
Scott for his war picture. The vote re-
fusing the passage of the bill was recon-
sdercd by vote of 14S to SO. Mr.. Buel
of Middletown moved that the sum of
81, 900 be stricken ont and the sum of
$4,000 inserted. Several gentlemen an
nounced that they would vote to pay
$4,000, and no more. Others opposed it
on the ground that it was bad job. The
bill was favored by Mr.. Cook of Mendon,
Mr. Buel of Mddletown, Mr.. Kennedy of
Fairfield, Mr.. Brown of Lowell, Mr.
Noble of Tinmouth, Mr.. Button of Nor
witch and Mr.. Churchill of Goshen The
amendment to pay $4,000 was adopted
yeas 100, nays 80. The bill finally passed,
ayes 115, nays Gs. This is in part justice
to gallant soldier, skillfull artist, and
it is qualification to know that Rutland
county so heartily favored the bill.
The Governor today vetoed the bill TO
incorporate the Burlington banking COM
pany, his principal objection being that
there is no provision requiring that any
particular sum or amount of stock to be
subscribed either before entering upon the
business of corporation or at any time
thereafter, further than that the directors
shall be stockholders to the amount of
81 900. The corporation could. under the
charter, cary on business with only
nominal capital. Gov. Peck is very watch
full and nothing passes his observation, and
he is determined to hold all doubtful meas
ures in check.
The bill to constitute the new county of
Allen was fully discussed IN the senate this
morning, and upon vote being taken it
was refused passage by vote of ayes 7,
nays %. Thus ends the new county pro-
ject for this year. Large delegations of
prominent citizens of Windsor county were
here-some favoring, others opposing the
project. Senator Edmunds CT Weston
voted against the new county, much to the
surprise of its friends, residing as he does
within its proposed limits, and haying been
nominated for the senate supposing that he
was friend of the bill.
The bill changing the time of holding
the supreme court in Rutland county, was
passed.
The bill founded upon the memorial of
the Ladies' Temperance Union of Rutland,
asking Imprisonment for the first offence,
called here the Nicholson bill, pissed the
house by a vote of yeas 80, nays 80.
The senate passed a resolution of censure
the other day upon the conduct of Henry
Oviatt in not furnishing the testimony in
the Vermont Central investigation and sent
it to the house. On Saturday they recalled
1t from the house, and to-day after amend
ing the resolution dismissed it by large
vote.
The Orleans county question to remove
the county seat from lrasburgh to Barton,
or some other point on the line of the rail-
road, was under discussion for some time
this afternoon, when it was laid upon the
table, and made the special order at 7
o'clock this evening.
| The senate refused to confirm the nomi-
nation of o. 3. Bliss and Il. ID. Mason as
members of the board Of agriculture.
The house and senate come to collision
on the return of the Morrill, back pay. The
senate insist upon paying it back to sena-
tor Morrill,. The house wish to return 1t
direct to the United States treasury. A
committee of conference has been appoint
ed. Both houses are still In session.
