This question was Of itself deemed Il

The Militia

IN connection with the army
re- organization bill, waen il
aomcs up fW consideration, Il
h understood thai amendments
viii hr offered designed to pel-
fcef the thorough organization
ol the militia of the States.
phis IA 4 matter Which has been
actively agitated in one or the
! aumher of y1eGfsG, G,aRgre6s Ter
rral occasions bills in aid oi
lIlia purpose and making large
appropriations have been intro
iuced.
The point has been made
that it was one Of the main OBJ
ieets OF the founders Of the
Government, to aid through
the Government, the organiza
ton Of well disciplined and
well equipped militia for alI
the States. Among the propo
sitions which are suggested Ill
this connection is Il plan 70
provide fora militia of 1000 men
from each Congressional dis
lrict, to be consolidated into
divisions and corps, under
commanders appointed by the
President, the brigade CON
manders to be designated by
the Governors OF the States,
and the regimental officers to
be elected by the men
This would make a militia
organization Of about 100000
lank and file. As there are six
congressional districts in Mary
land, it would give 2 force Of
8, 900 militia to that State. Tn
der this and other propositions
which have been drawn M,
the general government is
to provide for the entire arm
ing and equipment Of militia,
and the men are to receive pay
al the rate OF one dollar per
day fol the time spentin drills,
parades and encampments.
There are d number Of mem
bers Of Congress who favor this
bill in some shape, but there
are u good many Republican
members who will oppose it,
simply because, as they allegr,

eral members OF the House say
that when the army re.organ-
ization bill is taken up in that
body they will call for its read

Triumphant Love,

A marriage took place in Poca.

ago amid surroundings that might
bc expected to dnmpen even the
order Of yonng love, has just been
reported to us. The swain, n
stout young farmer Of Pocahontas

on the maiden iruckled to name
the day. She fixed IN carly one,
and no obtained q license in Po.

set for the marriage WAS II roiny
aud dismal one, but the minister
arrived nj the brides house 10 par.
form the ceremony. All the prep.
arations were made, when prelim.
mary to tho ceremony the minister
asked to see the license, When
II was shown there was trouble
tile minister refusing to proceed d
unless they went over into Poca
hontas county. The house was
only a few rods from the line, but
it was as dark as Egypt, and rain
ing BY the bucketful without.
However, everybody was anxious
aud nobody afraid, and out they
went. The pis pen was over the
line and toward it the party steer.

fence 70 got out Of the mud, and
wound his legs amoung the boards
to brace himself up, the couple
grabbed hands. and, while the
