SEEKING Moon HINE IN THE n. C. LEGISLATURE.
Monday las: a bill to remove the City OF Raleigh
t. some pls-e where the moon shines, was intro
dIced into the n. c. Legislature Considerable
laughter was created by the reading OF the bill
and the motion consequent to it Nj. Routh rose
and said, ss be introduced the BILL perhaps be
ought to say something about it. He came from
q mountainous country where there was but little
mud, and when be came down be found it rather
difficult TO get about, there was so much rain and
consequently mud Further, the people o, the
city OF Raleigh were so poor that they could net
afford to light up the streets, ard the moon would
not shine. But, as the moon now sh0ne, ana he
proposed by bill to enlarge the corporate 7its
Of the city TO let in SO much wealth that probably
the city would cease to fight for his bill 70 remove
the city. The bill was rejected after a runber Of
motions concerning posponement were lost.
