The Militia Law. The amendment to the Militia Law of Massachusetts, striking out therefrom the invidious, unconstitutional and absurd word ‘white’, which passed the Senate, last week, by a very large majority, was adopted by the House of Representatives, on Tuesday, on the passage of the bill to its third reading, by a vote of 105 to 97. Further particulars, with a list of Yeas and Nays, next week.
