ture to exempt them from working on
the public roads. The House meets at
A. NJ
Mr.. Dyche, in his speech on the bird
law, perforated with the hope that the
bill would rise on pinions far above the
opposition of the House, and bidding
farewell to its parental home, wing its
flight to the Senate.
Mr.. Tanner thinks that the young
country lads who ride by with a wag OF
the head and protrusion ofthe tongue
making fun of the old men working on
the roads, ought to be put to the same
work and see how they like it Them
selves.
Mr.. Wooddel, chairman of the Com
mittee on roads, has succeeded in getting
his road bills through the House. Mr..
w. Is a live man and working member
He deserves credit for his earnest labors
in behalf of the interests of his constitu
ents.
Hon. Alexander Monroe, who has been
absent for several days, resumed the
speakers chair yesterday. Hon. l.. 5
Jordan. who has been occupying the
chair so creditably during the absence OF
the Speaker, resumed his place on the
floor, where he SO faithfully represents
his constituents.
An item rejecting upon Mr.. Chides-
ter's vote on the Centennial Bill appear
ed in our notes on Friday, which was
inserted without our knowledge or au-
therity, and does injustice to the gontle-
man in question. Mr.. Chidester makes
q faithful and efficient representative,
and, we believe, honestly endeavOrs to
reflect the will of his constituents.
The woodchuck bill was before the
House to-day. The bill provides against
the killing of robbins, tom-tits, and 9TH
er birds, with swivel, howitzer, or other
heavy artillery. The bill Is silent as to
the legality of throwing sal: on the tails
OF birds, but one distinguished gentleman
was of opinion that this process would be
IN conflict with art ,, sec, 10 of the Con-
stitution.
The House having under consideration
the bill to protect birds and game, Mr..
Dyche said:
Mr.. SPEAKER-From the hour when
my eyes were first opened to Heavens
bright light down to the present, there
has never been any earthly sound to fall
upon my ravishcd ears compared in
sweetness and melody to the tuneful
notes of the feathered songsters of the
forest. The groves were Gods first tenn
plies and the birds the happy choristers
that from "early morn till dewy eve"
warbled the praises of Deity, filling the
spacious woods with their glorious an
thems. When this House failed to pro
tect that proud and palatable old bird,
the wild turkey, ! swore in my wrath.
Mr.. Speaker, that | would vote against
the bill. But upon calm reflection and
rs my Imagination carried me out to
those delightful rural scenes of the
sportivo groung-hog gamboling upon
he meadow green with her little wood
chucks on every side; or of the festive
coon sitting on rail husking his neigh
Dor corn; of the innocent fox lying
down by the side OF the spring-bOrn
lamb for the purpose otsppeasing keen
appetite. | cannot resist the emotions
of my better nature and yielding TO those
stray forces which touch forcibly, yet so
tenderly, the chords of the human heart,
| am constrained to support the passage
of this bill, and thereby drive from our
sacred soil those base characters who,
with gun in hand, would wantonly shoot
down the musicians of Gods universe.
| conclude with the hope that this bill,
ION pinions strong, will rise above the
opposition Of this House, and bidding
farewell to its paternal home, wing its
speedy flight to the Senate.
