The House then resolved itself into a eom. mittee of the whole upon the Loan Bill. Hon. Mr. Walker in the Chair.

Hon. Mr. Paumer: I think there would be nothing unfair in my observing that there is an absence of one provision in this bill which I think should be in it, that is, a limit at which the debentures for this loan wuuld be sold. We bave had instances given where foreign countries and colonies obtained loans at from 80 to 102$, andit is i:npossible, with- out knowing the precise situation of those dominions, to pronounce whether we stand upon as good a fouting to sueceed in the same

Hon. Mr. Harraonne: I think it is neees- sary that there should be a militia im this Island as well as in the other Volonies, and if 80, we should have a law for their governanes and guidance. This Bill was prepared by the military authorities, and t think it is to be regretted that the matter has been so long neglected. I have now been a number of years on the Island, and never was called upon to serve in the militia till last year. When a man has arrived at the middle age of life it is rather too late to call uper bim to shoulder a musket. Perhaps it is well te have some exemptions, bat it should be seen that they are not too numerous. However, as the Bill has undergone such a discussion in the House of Assembly [ think yoar honors may venture to let it pass in ite pre- sent shane. | lon.

Hon. Mr. Hayruorne: Well, as there is no misconception between as, | will proceed to notice some of his remarks respecting the bill.

The answer is this: if we fixa |mininum price for our debentures, we will | probably get an offer at that fixed rate, and /will not be able to realize any higher price |fur them. On the other hand, if we fix the | price at a high rate we incur the danger of raising the price of the proprietors’ lands in equal proportion. Besides, it would be al- most equal to a vote of want of confidence, and if it is considered that the Government is not fit to be entrusted with this loan, it is better to express it. His henor has also

to state ‘* that the present Government should bring forward a remedy for the great evils

called for th® bringing in of the troops—thbat the late Government were sadly deficient in their duty—they had promised that the whole Land Question should be settled in eight months.”’ Well, | believe there was one member who, at a moment when his ex- pectations were highly raised, made sume promise of that kind, wheter it was intend- ed to be taken literally or not | do not know.

Hon. Mr. Batpersron: Hitherto I have not taken any part in this matter, but I think we should be prepared for self defence —prepared to repel a foreign invader, as well as to quell internal commotion ; and if the occasion should arise, 1 believe the loyalty and patriotism of the people would be mani- fest, notwithstanding the tenant union pro- clivities of a part of Queen's County. I hope His Excellency and his advisers will see the necessity of taking off this proscription which is placed upon them. As I said upon a former occasion, if you treat @ man asa rebel it will have a great effect in making him such. I am of opinion that if the Voiunteers had been treated properly there would not be so much necessity for a stringent law now, but when they had taken the oath of allegiance, and when there was only an imaginary disturbance their arms were taken from them. This virtually said that veither their word nor their oath was to be depended upon. Then the Government sent for Troops,who I venture to say,were not superior to our own men as far as loyalty is concerned. The xesult has been that when they were called upon to drill they merely made a virtue of necessity, and 1 venture to say that they would never have volunteered again while that Government was in power. 1 do not think, as I said before that they were nottreated as they should have been. However I hope to see the day when every young man in the [sland will be wiliing as well as pre- pared to defend his country if required, and [ would make it a necessary qualification of schovlmasters to train the boys to some know- ledge of military evolutions. When a man comes to be forty or fifty years of age, he takes no interest in the matter, but rather takes a disgust at it.

The Bill was then read a second time and committed to a Committee of the whole House.—Hon. Mr. McDonald in the Chair.

Hon. Mr. Patwer: The Bill gives exemp- tion to all volunteers, to Constables and to Jurymen. I think it is a very wide exemp- | tion. Constables are selected from an active

class of young men, such as would constitate the volunteer corps,and it would perhaps lead |to inconvenience. It is a necessary office, though perhaps not a popular one, and vet
