House Notes.
THE MANUTACTURE or OIL AND FERTILIZERS
FROM FISH.
The bill 10 amend and recnact section (
Of chapter 100 Of the Code, in relation 10
catching fish for the purpose of manuiac-
turing them into oil and manure. came UP
as the special order OF the day, and pro-
yOked quite a lengthy and animated dis
cuSsion. The members love to talk about
fish. and any reference whatever 10 the sub
iect j. sure 20 produce "big talk"
This bill. OF which Alr. Mayo, OF West
morcland, is the patron, was reported from
the Finance Committee.
il provides that hereafter it shall not he
lawful for any person TO take or catch fish
i'm any Ol thc waters Of the Commonwealth
for the purpose grinding, pressing, or
manufacturing oil or manure from the
same: nor shall any person grind mp, press.
or boil any fish taken or caught i'm the
waters OF the state, or manufacture the
same into oil or manure, unless such person
shall have first obtained from the county
court OF the county in which lac wishes
to carry on the business OF manuiactu-
ring fish into oil or manure a certificate
authorizing him TO obtain license TO carry
on such business. When any person shall
apply for said certificate he shall be re-
qulrcd 10 swear or affirm that be has been a
resident OF the State for twelve months
next preceding such application. The spc-
citic licensC-taX for taking or catching fish
In manufacture them INTO oil or manure
shall Doc 81. and in addition thereto there
shall be tax OF 81 per ton on every ton Of
manure. and two cents gallon on every
gallon OF Oh manufactured. ANY person
violating this act shall be fined 500. and
shall forfeit all boats. vessels. scines, and
tackle used 10y him in catching and manu-
featuring said fish.
Mr.. Stubbs moved that the bill be- COM
mitted 10 the Committee on the Chesapeake
ard is Tributaries. He spoke AZ some
length i'm support OF his motion, during
which he gave some Interesting facts iu
connection with the manufacture Of oil and
manure from fish in this STATE. lie was i'm
favor Of raising revenue from this source.
but thought that the bill under discussion
would defeat the very object for which il
was framed He did not believe II would
stand the test in the courts, and therefore
wanted the question referred 10 the Com
mittee on the Chesapeake and IL, Tribu-
talls, 50 that q proper biz might be- framed.
Mr.. Mayo opposed the motion. He re-
iferatcd the statement made on a previous
occasion, that he represented the almost
unanimous voice OF the people Of his dis
trict, and declared that the bill va. intended
10 protect citizens OF this State against out
sidcr~. He had also had ASSURANCES that he
represented others outside Of his district
who were interested i'm the matter. lie
said that the only objection which had been
made TO the bill was that the tax had been
pui q little too high and he had consented
10 have this rcmcdied when the bill came
up IN the Senate. He i1dlculed The idea
that the bill was open 20 constitutional OBJ
jcctiOns, and declared whenever a lawyer
could find nothing else 20 urge against 4
measure he fell back on the Constitution.
Mr.. Evans said the motion OF Mr.. Snbb,
ought 10 prevail. The patron OF The bin
had exposed il weakness in cOnscnting 10
have il amended in the Senate. The SEN
ate ought not 20 be called on 10 correct the
mistakes of the House, but ii ought to be-
done by a committee OF the House.
Me,srs. Giddings and Norton also IA
yOred the motion of Mr.. Stubs.
Nr. Mayo offered rs an amendment that
the bill be recOmmittcn 10 the Finance
Committee. The amendment was rejected.
The question recurring on the motion 10
commit to the Committee on the Chesapeake
and it, Tributaries, ii was decided in the
aflirmatiye-ayeS, 4G; noes, 3J.

els 4. Anderson. one Of the Judges OF the
Court Of Appeals. The resolution Is SINH
lar 60 that offered some time since for the
