LAW FOR THE PROTECTION OF
GAME.

At the late session of the General
Assembly a wise and much needed
measure was enacted, looking to the
protection of game throughout this
State during the breeding season.
The Act is No. 60 of the extra session,
and was approved April ID. Under
the provisions of section one it will
be unlawful to catch, kill or pursue,
or have in possession after it has been
SO caught or killed, any buck, doe or
fawn, between the 1st of February
and LIST of August of each year the
penalty for violation being SOS for
each offense.
Section two prohibits the catching,
killing or pursuing of wild turkeys
between the first days of April and
September, under penalty of not less
than SIS nor more than $25.
The third section contains similar
provision relative to quails, cartridges
or pheasants caught, killed or pursued
between the LIST of April and 18th of
September, with penalty similar to
that prescribed in section two.
The provisions of the remaining
sections are, briefly, as follows: No
person shall catch, kill or pursue any
whippoorwill, sparrow, finch, oriole,
bluebird, swallow, night-hawk or
blaekbird, except when destructive
of the fruit or grain crop no person
shall roh or destroy the nest or eggs
of any wild birds, except those of
predatory nature and destructive of
game or insectivorous birds; no per-
son shall entrap, rob, kill or pursue
any song bird, except domesticated
birds, unless said birds are intended
for domestication the possession of
animals or birds sought to be pro-
tected by the act during the periods
prescribed, shall be deemed prima
facie evidence of the violation of the
law, and punishable as such the ex-
posing of such animals or birds for
sale during said periods, except when
intended for demonstration, will also
be deemed a violation of the law
contained in the act applies
to migratory birds or fowls; all trans
portation companies, steamboats,, rail-
roads or other public carriers of what
ever description, are prohibited from

Thanksgiving day was celebrated
with great and general enthusiasm in
New Orleans, the prominent feature
of the occasion being grand parade
of the local military organizations,
reinforced by the First Alabama In
fantry and Mobele Artillery, the band
of the Thirteenth U. S. Infantry lead
ing the procession. Services were
held in nearly all the churches and
business of every description sus-
pended.
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1877-05-12

transporting any of the animals or
birds during the periods prescribed
for their protection.
The penalty for violation of any of
the provisions thus epitomized is SIS
for the first and $25 for each subse-
quent offense.
One half of all fines collected will
be paid to the informer, the other
half to the Treasurer of the parish
School Board.
Persons convicted under the act
and failing to pay the prescribed fine
will be imprisoned in the parish Jail
not less than ten nor more than thirty
days.
Ali violations of the act are declared
to be crimes against the State of
Louisiana, for which District Attor-
MES proper and pro tempOre shall in
stitute prosecution before any court
of competent Jurisdiction.
Finally, the act takes effect from
and after the LIST of June, proximo.
AS we before remarked, the act is
wise and necessary, and all true
sportsmen, as well as persons of hu-
name and refined instincts, who dep.
recate the wanton destruction of harm
less beasts of the field and birds of
the air, should lend their efforts to
the rigid enforcement of the laws
provisions.

TIFF NEW REGIME.

A state of most profound peace pre-
walls within the borders of Louisiana,
which is decidedly refreshing after
the long season of political turmoil
and uncertainty which but few
weeks since paralyzed the commercial
and industrial interests of the State.
The new government is getting we'll
under way, and while it is yet too
early to form final judgment, there
is every indication of smooth working
in all its branches, the practice of
economy and retrenchment, and a
proper recognition of the equal rights
of citizens in the administration Of the
laws. Confidence is felt in the dis
position of Governor Nichols to carry
out the policy declared prior to his
election and reiterated since; and
while some distrust is felt that a
numerous class of subordinate officers
and ultra politicians will not be dis
posed to give him their cooperation,
it is an indubitabie fact that Ah over
whelming majority of the people,
regardless of previous political diff
ferences, wild vindicate the enforce
ment of his just and liberal ideas of
the proper mission of civil govern
ment.
It is not to be denied that whole
some and subtantial reform laws were
passed by the late General Assembly,
under which expenditure of public
money will be curtailed without i'm
! pairing the efficiency of the civil SER
vice. Prominent under this head may
be classed revival of the old system
of assessing taxable property, the re-
duction of Tax Collectors fees, Par
| ish Judges salaries, and expenses OF
criminal prosecutions, repeal of The
Louisiana LeEee Company's charter,
and Limitation of the rate of parish
taxation to one per cent. Other re-
formatory measures might be cited,
and others again which seem the OPP
posite candor compels us to admit,
however, that the former are the rule,
the latter the exception, and that al
together the legislation of the recent
session will save many thousands oil
dollars to the people of the State.
Political disappointment should not
prevent Republicans from gracefully
fulfilling The duty of loyal citizens,
from according to the present govern
ment that support and respect they
have heretofore demanded for Repub-
lican administrations, nor yet from
acknowledging the evident DISPOSE
ton of their victorious opponents in
the recent contest to secure peace and
prosperity to the State by proper rec
/ ognition and enforcement of those
laws which effect the rights and in
terests of the people, irrespective Of
race or condition.

BOdie Mining News.

Following are the introductory re-
marks preceding the mining review
in the Standard of Wednesday:
Owing to a continuance of ex-
tremely fine weather, work on the
mines around here continues to pro-
gress satisfactorily. Work in the
Standard IS steadily advancing, as
also the Bech,e. In the former the
ledge IN the $50 foot level being three
feet wide, the ore assaying about SS5,
and in good working ground. In the
latter mine the main shaft is sunk
ITO feet, with ledge at the bottom
of the shaft 81 feet wide, which i'm
proves as they go down, and stands
almost perpendicular between two
walls. In the Bulwer they are still
running drifts north and south on the
200 level, and are in good working
ground. In the BDdle ale still run
ming crosscut west for ledge; good
indications of an early find. The
Black Hawk and McClinton are pro-
crossing satisfactorily, the latter ex-
pectlng the machinery to arrive daily.
The residents and miners employed
in the different mines here have form
ed such IA high opinion as to their
future prospects, when work is once
fully begun, that they are purchasing
all the stock they can possibly get
hold of, which is sure proof that
they have every confidence in the flu
ture prosperity of our mines.
