4 Crying Remonstrance against Crutchetfs Long
Pole

A Crying Remonstrdnce against Crutchett's Long
Pole.
The brds-the birds of summer hours
For the wing;
love them love the flowers
The sunlight and the spring"
And all these things, the birds, and the flowers,
and the sunlight and the spring, are to be had in
the capitol grounds and they free as the waters
of life, for you can have them without money and
without price.
But Crutcheus long pole on the top of the great
dome, and the lantern the top of the long pole,
and the wires supporting the pole, will be the death
of the birds who come to the capital grounds every
summer to spend the season, as your gay birds
of fashion go TO Saratoga, Niagara and Coney
Island Qong life TO the Govemor). We say
that pole, and Its lantern, and fixtures, will be
the death of the birds The night anteceden,
TO the last dark night, and stormy. The
large lantern surmounting the long pole was lit up
brilliantly, and al a mile OIL II shone like meteor
IN the sky The birds IN the trees and shrubbery
surrounding the capitol, driven out by passing
strangers or by the storm, dazzled by the bril-
liant phenomenon on the top of that long piece of
Susquehanna hemlock and flying toward ii and be-
widered by 1t like moths by candle, continued in
utter amazement crcling about that fatal lantern
TILL striking against the glass, the pole or the
iron braces, they fell dead upon the skyligh of the
rotunda. AT least fifty were picked up there yes
terday morning 10y Mr. Huntington, the gentleman
Iy Janitor. They comprehended many varieties
blue birds, cat birds, yellow throated warbers, orr.
oes, tanagers, indigo birds, black crested singers
red birds, agerines, &c.
We enter remonstrance against that long pole
LIST. Because it disfgures the capitol, and may vet
draw the red ghtnings down. ID Because It en-
dangers the dome to which it is fastened, and may
bring down destruction In Its fall, upon human life,
under some heavy storm. Sd. Because the gas re-
CURED for the lantern if distributed over the ground
In lamps, at convenient distances. would light them
up ten times more efficiently and beautifully than
that long pole arrangement, and would keep a vast
quantity OF that gas out of the capitol; and
last, through not least, we ask that that pole and
lantern be taken down, in order to save the birds
belonging to the Park from determination

The news from France is of startling character. Still
we do not despair of the republic The struggle OF the
factions with the government has been indeed violent
and productive of much bloodshed but the insurgents
have been defeated and the government haze been
triumphant. This defeat may keep off another emsute
for time. But we are not sufficiently acquainted
with the elements of the calculation to predict the
suits. What slur it would be upon the character of
France and how completely would deprive her of the
sympathy of all liberal nations if she to degrade
herself by submitting to the rule of any of the Bonapa
ists any of the Bourbons 1t is disgusting any
portion of the French people turning to either of these
families if they legitimate rulers 1t is contrary
to the whole spirit of the age May France escape the
degradation of sacrificing her high destnes such a
degrading msrule.

We would also sate that in other well-regulaed post

the general delivery of letters separated from that part
of the office where citizens rent private boxes and in
which their letters and papers are deposited but in
