hShieaing Of the various railroad hobbys
Mr.. Pike hos prepared General Railroad
pssi" which hs will sahuit for the consider
alton Of the Legislature. This bill gives
the right to any company Of ten men. who
have money enough, tn build road when
and where they please. subject to the ap-
prevail Of the Railroad Commissioners.
And think the bill i good one. II any
company Of men want 10 build n road. and
can get the money to do so, why In the
name Of common sense shall they not have
the right to do so. without coming to this

The bill for the repeal OF the Law In
relation to the ''seining Of poryies" pa ssed
the house on Saturday after a sharp de
bate. Mr.. Pike and others spoke in favor
of the bill, and Mr.. Rawson spoke for the
opponents OF the repeal, the opposition to
the bill came from the towns Of HarpsweIl
and Deer Isles, and the plea was, that the
law should remain ill il could be tested A.
To Its constitutionality. rhe Committee
on Fisheries, after = long debate has
decided in favor Of exenpting the dam at
Augusta from the operation Of a nshway.
for the space Of three years.
According to the predictions Of some Of
the Older members, the session draws near
to its close. and by the last OF the present
week the assembled wisdom and eloauence
Of the state Of Maine will srperate, and
scatter. in homeopathic doses, all over the
State. And the chances are, that many of
these wise doctors Of the Law" will here
after have to content themselves with
patching the laws Of their own towns
Never more, in all time. will their thunder
ing eloquence be heard beneath the SWELL
ing dome Of this proud Capitol. Many q
time and of have the battle fiags in its
halls been stirred by the sound Of their
voices. but, alas. the hall that have know n
them so long, shall know them no more.
In their own towns and plantations they
shall Re held As prophets, and they shall
expound and explain the law. and none
may doubt their word. Augusta the
beautiful city Of the wise" shall pine for
the tramp Of their feet In her well worn
streets. And Baker. who keeps the
Augusta House, shall long for the clink of
their dollars in his well worn pockets. but
never more shall the legs Of these on,
going members tramp in these beautiful
streets. and never more shall their dollars
gladden. the eyes Of the rapacious Baker
So mote il be. SCROGGINs.
