CONNECTICUT PEACE SOCIETY.
Resolutions Adopted and me Convention
Adjourned.

NEW LONDON, Conn, Aug. -.
The Peace convention at Mystic closed to-
day. Mrs. Washburne of Philadelphia sub
mltted resolution eXempting persons of con-
scientous scruples from military duty or mil
tary taxes.
Thomas Greenman was opposed to the
Connecticut military system. In time Of
peace it was not one of resources and in case
of uprising no one could tell on which side
the militia would be.
In this country the militia is no use as it
could not be controlled.
Mrs. Dyer moved for the unconditional
abolition of the military system of the State.
Resolutions were adopted follows:
Resolved, That this convention requests
the Connecticut Peace Society to petition the
Connecticut legislature that the laws be so
amended that all persons who are conscien-
tous'v opposed to the military taxes or mi
tary duty be exempted; also, tlft the whole
military system of Connecticut being disad-
vantage expense and inmical to peace and
anti-christian, be unconditonally abolished.
and in lieu of the ourt of arbitration, estab-
lished also for the rep" i of the law provit NJ
for capital punishment
Resolved, Tha; the thanks of the civilized
world are due to Gladstone for efforts TO
avoid additional bloodshed in Egypt.
Resolved. That any attempt TO acquire
additional territory 10 the United States by
armed force deserves the severest reproba-
tiOn.
Resolved, That we protest against the
dynamite policy and counsel all friends of
the good cause of Ireland or elsewhere not to
use violent threats or carnal weapors as they
delay and prevent scccess.
