House refused to lay the bill on the table
but the motion was lost. Finally, however,
1t was so disposed Of.
The Assessment bill was made the spe'
cial order for 10 o'clock to-day.
The Senate amendments to the Justices
and Constables bill were then considered,
and disposed OF seriatim.
A number Of other bills were also read
the second time and sent on.
DOGS.
Among these bills was the one proposing
to tax dogs for the protection Of sheep. The
consideration Of this occupied a good
while, and made the most amusement Of
any measure yet debated, A substitute
had been adopted, Section 8 Of which
contained the following paragraph:
"The constable having such list shall
kill, or cause to be killed, every dog on
which the taxes assessed as Aforesaid are
not paid on or before the first day Of
March OF the year next after that in which
the assessment is made, having frat de.
manded the amount OF such tax from the
keeper OF such dog, For every dog so
killed he LhRll receive credit for the tax
charged on the animal killed, and one
dollar from the funds collected by him.
He shall have the same commission for
collections under this act that sherilfs are
allowed for collecting county levies."
Mr.. Tippelt moved to add at the end Of
the section the following words:
"And for his protection while executing
the provisions Of this section the consta-
BILE shall be furnished, at State expense,
ONE BROAD SWORD, TWO NAVY REvOLVERs
AND A dATLING GUN.
HE shall also be furnished with a SUIT OF
clothing impervious to hot water, and a
broomstlCk.proof helmet, He shall also
have power to call out the militia Of the
county to aid him in the execution Of the
provisions Of this section; and II In his
opinion the militia OF the county 10 not
sufficient for the purpose, then he shall
call on the Governor for assistance, and 1t
shall be the duty OF the Governor to call
out the militia OF the State; and II In the
opinion OF the Governor the militia OF the
State Is not sufficient for the purpose, 1t
shall be the duty OF the Governor to call
on the President OF the United States for
aid; and 1t shall be the duty OF the Presl.
dent OF the United States to furnish
enough troops Of the Regular Army for
this purpose"
Mr., Wells, Of Tyler, wanted to know,
with some sternness, who offered such
resolution?'
Being told who had done so, he re.
marked that he did not think II was prop.
or or parliamentary. It WAS disrespeCIful
TO the patron Of the bill, Mr.. Lowry
thought 1t was not proper amendment to
offer, and the proposition should not be
entertained by the Speaker,
Mr., Leonard said II the mover would
withdraw the amendment he would rec.
ommend his appointment as
CoMMANDERR IN cuIEF
Of q special force organized for the pur.
pose aimed at In the resolution.
Mr.. Tippett said with that understand.
ing he would withdraw the amendment.
