PROTEST.


Hon. NJ. D. X. TAYLOR Speaker Of the House
Of Representatives.:
The undersigned, on behalf of his constit-
uenIs and the people Of Texas who have SER
we'd their country as soldiers on the frontier
pursuant to his notice given last night,
hereby enters his solemn protest against the
action of the House upon the payment of the
Rangers, in refusing to receive the ten per
cent. interest warrants, heretofore ordered
to be issued to soldiers, in payment Of gov
eminent dues.
On the bill entitled an act TO make the
ten per cent. Treasury warrants receivable
for direct taxes, having offered an amend
.ment to q former bill to make them receiy-
able for all government. dues, which the
House refused to sustain.
The report of the committee was against
making the warrants receivable for direct
taxes, and this being under consideration,
! moved to lay that report on the table,
which the House refused to do. My desire
was to have the bill taken up for considcra-
ton, that might procure its amendment
and final passage.
q Having endcavored, during this session,
in every possible way, to bring the warrants
issued TO soldiers in payment for their hard
service to a par value and having been
thwarted in my every attempt, l now, as
J the Immediate representative of large num-
Der Of those who have faithfully, served the
Stale, and have not received their pay, pro-
test against the action OF the House, and
for the following other reasons, VIZ:
!. Tia: the Legislature has appropriated
away the direct taxes of the State, for pay
ment Of the members and officers of the re-
cent Convention, nm extraordinarily hume
rous body, Who had performed service, long
after the soldiers, and without having them
selves any reasonable ground for expecta-
ton of such liberalify on the part of the
Legislature, in thus appropriating money
for them to the exclusion of the soldier Tor
services performed long after the Rangers
( had performed their service.
2. The Legislature still further appropr:-
ated the direct taxes to pay for their own
services and the services of their officers,
and can see no rule of propriety-no sha-
GLOW of right--no ground for Justification Of
( such unwarranted action.
8. The Legislature have still Further
Shown an ul,insi preference forpaving cher
