[13-P VVe find the following explana-
tion of the Militia Law in the Commer-
cial Bank List, evidently from the pen of
Gen. Geer, the author of the Law.

THE NEW MILITIA LAW.

The Committee reported this bill be-
cause it makes provision for it thorough
and uniform system of’ instruction of all
C'ommmzde7*s in the Militia in this State
at the same time and place, and because
the law of 1854 made nopravision. what-
lever for an officer's drill. This bill they
did not not upon until the 28th day of
June, after they had received, in mi-
swcr to circulars sent them by mail,
June 16th, letters from about two-thirds
of the commanders, expressing their ap-
probation of an officers’ drill, as propos-
ell,

SF.C'l‘[0N 1s'r reduces the Regimental
training days from three to two, (but
does not reduce Brigade or Division days)
lmcziiise the bill of 1854 would draw on
the military fund, according to the pres-
ent number of troops, from $18,000 to
$20,000. Therefore the Committee
would not reportin favor of adding $1 -,-
00010 $1500 expense for an officers’
drill-—but in lieu thereof out of one day's
parade by regiment, which would save
to the Military fund,about $3500, if nei-
ther of the two Brigades should muster
by Brigade. And if one Brigade muster
by Brigade and the otlie'r by Regiment,
the saving to the fund will be about
$500. The efficiency in Company and
Begimental drill, without. an officers’
drill, would not be brought up to a stan-
dard to corpond to the greatly enhanced
expenses of the Militia to the State.—-
VVitliout. such an officers’ drill it was be-
lieved that the next Legislature would
be irnportuned from all parts of the
State, to repeal the law of 1854, because
of want of improvement on the part of
the Militia in general, in comparison
with the increased expense, and that the
best way to ensure the permanency bf
the 1854 law was by the reduction of
one day’s Regimental expenses, and al-
so to get such instruction in drill and
discipline as could be imparted to coni-
manders under a proper drill master, thus
placing the Companies in better drill ;—-
consequently the public could not fail to
witness great improvements in the Mili-
tia, and would thus be satisfied with the
increased expenses. ’ __

SEC. 2nd makes each General,"Field
and Staff officer to be fully uniformed ac-
cording to the State regulations-—-instead
of allowing these officers (as some have
done)to patch tip, by borrowing parts of
uniforrii here and there, of the odds and
ends of the old styles,

SEC. 3rd requires all the officers there-
in named to meet at the,State Arsenal,
Hartford, because there the State can
furnish muskets, swords and all other
arms and equipments for drilling, also
tents, without the large expenses and
losses by damage attending the trans-
portations of them to different
pa'rts ofthe State Besides, the State here
have good accommodations for drilling in
a building in stormy weather. The law
embraces all commandants of companies
and allsuperior officers Lieutenants and
Non-commissioned officers were not inclu
(led because of the additional expenses,
and because the State allows $100 per
year to each company for the rent of an
Armory, in ‘which, it is expected the
Captain will often drill the officers and
privates under his command. The mu-
sic majors are included in the law in'or-
der that they may also be uniformly dril-
led in their branch of the service.

Sac. 4th provides for the employment
of tlie best Instructor that can be found

SEC. 5th authorizes a court. martial to
inquire into the reason for delinquency
on the part of officers.

Sac, 6th defines duties of Quarter
,Master General in connection with this
drill.

SEO. 7th provides compensation to-
wards each officer’s expenses. All are
also compensated by extra pay in mile-
age—-accordiiig to the respective distan-
ces they have to travel—thns paying
them for their time necessarily required
in travelling to be at the arsenal at 8
o'clock, A. M., on the day warned.

Sac. 8th compels each officer, whether
a General or Captain or of the Staff, to
appear in the coat pants, cap pompoii
and shoulder knots as required by the
State uniform for Privates for Infantry.
There being companies in every county
in this State which have adopted this
uniform, no trouble need arise in officers
procuring these for the occasion, in their
respective counties, if they do not choose
to buy them for themselves. This sec-
tion ensures uniformity in dress—a very
important feature in the good appear-
ance of any military battalion.

S20. 9th in fact explains the whole ob-
ject of the law.

See. 10th. 11th and 12th, defines the
duties of the Major General for the oc-
casion. , '

Sac. 13th makes provision for :1 Reg-
imental band or’ music, on the last day of
this ofiice'rs drill, to enable the battalion
to be properly instructed in morning and
evening parades, and in review exerci-
ses-—\vhicli cannot be thus done without
the aid of a band.

SEO. 14th properly limits the number
of Companies to each county, for when-
ever tén Companies muster the number
allowed by law, there wifl be over 660
men. This is also to prevent the law
becoming too great a burden to the
State, and to encourage the formation of
Companies large in number, instead of a
large number of small Companies.

By this meeting in encampment, the
oflicers of the State will become acquain-
ted with each other, and a spirit of emit-
laion must consequently arise, which
will prove advantageous to the drill of
the Companies and Regiments,

An additional day’s Company's drill
and target exercise, was favored before
the committee to take place between the
officers’ drill and the lnusteriiig of the
Regiments or Brigade—as being much
less expensive to the State and premo-
tive of the efiiciency of Companies for
service—but this they left for their leg-
islative successors to act upon.

With this law, it was believed that in
efficiency and actual improvement in the
drill of the troops, more would be ac-
complished in the two days’ Regimental
drill than could be in a week without it
The great object of the 1854 and 1855
laws is to raise the standard of Military
discipline and drill-—which will restore
the Military in the estimation of the pub-
lic to the exalted position they held more
thnn twenty years ago.

l§' Con. VVALKER, the Nicaraguan
Freebooter, landed at Realejo, June 14,
with 56 men. and proceeded" to Chinan-
dega, where he was joined by a force of
150 Central Ainerlcan troops, under the
command of Cols. Mendez and Ramirez
furnished by Castellon, the President of
Leon. With this force he proceeded to
the invasion of Nicaragua. On approach-
ing Rives, they took ri small outpost l~y

The fight was eanguinary, but in the
midst of it the Central American troops,
with their officers, deserted, leaving Col.
Walker’s small band hemmed in by two
bodies or hostile troops. In this dilem-
ma, Walker retreated to a plamer’s house
in the neighborhood, where he sustained
the combat for two hours, against over
300 asssailants, until simultaneously the
building was stormed in front and set fire
to in the rear, when the Col. and his re-
maining men broke the enemy, and fled
to the fields, from whence he found his
way to San Juan. Thirteen Americans
were killed, and their bodies burned.-—
Tlie government party, it is said,'had
thirty men killed of Col. Walker's party
vix: A. L. Kewen, the second in com-
mand, Lieut. R. Y. Merman, and F.
Anderson, Dr. Jones, and Dr. W. H.
Davis. Among the documents that have
fallen into the hands of the government,
is the original contract between Byron
Cole and the provisionary government,
for 62,000 acres of land in Nicaragua-.-—
Walker arrived alone at San Jan, where
he recruited fourteen Americans, and get-
ting on board an Italian brig, proceeded
towards Realejo.

The Prolzibitory Law in Indz'a.mz.—
The Franklin, Indiana Star has the fol-
lowing in relation to the working of the
prohibitory law in that State :

“We are gratified to learn that in all
parts of the State, the law is having the
desired effect. The New Albany Ti-31,-
une speaking on this subject, says :_
“The sixty or seventy liquor holes ’that
‘formerly lined our streets, have all been
shut up.” And in the same tone, speak
all the city papers in our Sta'le, and \ve
hear of no place where :1 single liquor
shop is in operation. True we hear ofa
few violations, committed chiefly with
a v_lew of testing the Constitutionality of
the law. Doubtless some are stenlthily
committed, which escape detection, as
is the case under all criminal laws.-
Biit no where is an open violation of the
laws attempted or resistance to its opera-
tion offered. Demrigogues and office

conjectures that the law would be dis-
regarded. ‘

The Judicial Reform Bill.

We stated last week some of the evils, in
the practical working of the old Judicial sys-
tem of the Sfiitmwhicli culled most. loudly for
£1. remedy.

The Legislature bcgaii the work of reform.
by “P9-mtlnfi tllf’ Supreme Court of Errors
from the Superior Court, tho f01'mpy- under 3;;
new organization, to consist of tliree jiidgr-s
ll9l'f01‘mll1g the duty of that l.ribnnu.1 as thii
only and peculiar function of their office ; the
latter to consist of six judges, dischargiiig in
like manner all the functions of the S]]pnri0r
Court. To this arrangement, thus far we have
senn no objection made by airy party.

That the Supreme Court of Errors and the
Superior Court should consist of separate and
independent benches, has been for years mp,
universal sentiment of those who have redact-
ed upon the subject, and a. plan of separation
similar to the one now adopted. was pI’Op()?F.(1
in 1848, and has been brought forward at in-
tervals since. Its consummation standing by
itself, would meet with universal approval.

But the Bill goes further; as the sis.‘ judges
of the Superior Court are discharged from
the duties of the Court of Errors, and would
if the Law stopped there, have only the cir
cuit business to perform, which was formerly
performed by five judges, who had also their
Supreme Court engagements to fulfil; as the
labor done and time employed by the Superi-
or Court. would thus be so far diminished, the
Coimty Court is abolished, and its business
transferred to the Superior Court.

To this feature of the Bill objections have
been made in some quarters. It is asked, if
thirteen judges could not do the business of
the Courts, how can we expect nine toriccom-
plish it? The above brief statement of the
new organization, together with the consider-
ations that we offered last week seem to us to
answer the question. We appeal to the
knowledge of every lawyer and every liti-
gant, when We say that the County Courts as
a general thing were inefficient, that they oc-
cupied unnecessary time which might have
been actively employed by an eflicient, well-
drgtinizcd Superior Court, and that the latter
would have performed all the business of the
County Court in, at most, one-half the time
that was actually wahtcd under the old sys-
tem. The Bill guards carefully. as will here-
after be seen, against re:-zatious appeals, and
against the continuance of “ahimnage” cases.
It expedites trials by limiting the number of
counsel in appealed cases. and by pnttingstop
to the eternal jangling of lawy erg on side
questions, and by checking the waste of time in
interminable arguments. VVI-. have no hesita-
tion in saying that if the jmlges of the Supe-
rior Cnurl (lulu ¢‘.L‘€TC'l.W? I/ic juslpowers gin‘
on them by that Bill, caiises. will be reached
for trial and finally disposed of. in the Coun-
ties having the greatest press of l)l1Sll‘lP.E.‘!, in
from one-fourth to one-third of the time for-
merly required.

2nd. We affirm in the language of the Gov-

“well timed and very gootl” that "any im-
provement of the old judicial system must be
attended with cost to the State. Ifit is right
that such improvement should be made, the
additional cost, upon sound principles. must
be regarded as economical.”
3rd, We aver, and will demonstrate that
the additional cost of judicial salaries will be
more than balanced in the strictest pecuniary
sense, by the diminution of other expenses ac-
complished by the new law. We stated last
week that the expenses of it session of Court
amounted to about $40 per day. These er-
penses are the same ivlierlier two or twenty
causes are tried to the Jury in a" "term. It
was and is believed that under the full opera-
tion of this law, after the fir-st one or two
terms, at least double the number of Jury ca-
ses will be disposed of in any succeeding term.
that were despittched under the old system.-’
That is, that While under the former practice
it would require two terms of twenty days
each to dispose of twelve Jury cases, and at
an expense of $1600 to the public, hereafter
when the Bill gets into practical operation,
which cannot well be before the second term in
each county after its passage, the same number
of cases can be tried in (1. single term at an ex-
pense of‘ only $800 to the public. There are
eight counties and tliirty—ttvo ti-in] terms of
the Superior Court, in the State under the‘
new law. If only half‘ the above "expense is
saved to the Stale by the operation of the
Bill, the’: saving will mu-eed the iiicreaserl
amount of .Tuzlici7aI salaries. _ ,
Nor is this all. Nearly every citizen of the
State engaged in business, has more or less
occasion to seek jii.-ticc in our Courts. The
dimiuution of expense to litigants caused by
this bill, in cases brought after its passage,
will be at least one half. With these remarks
we leave the objection of expense with the sin:
