rHE NEW YORK PANIC

For some time past the telegraph has been chief
" occupied in announcing failures at New York.
Some new nsion is added to the list daily.
The unexpected suspension of the Ohio Life and
Trust Company seems to have inspired general
alarm, and awakened suspicion as to the solvency
of many business houses heretofore regarded beyond
doubt We are not of those who think the present
condition Of the money market in New York acct
dental or temporary. The causes which underlie
1t are general and permanent, not partial or tempo
rary. The amount of imports is larger than it has
been for years; the amount Of exports, which
should correspond to preserve the balance Of trade
is smaller than it has been for years, save in one
article. and that is gold. The amount of gold re-
ceived from California is smaller than that Of last
been Withdrawn and invested in Western land
speculation, which is absorbing vast amounts Of
capital There is also an idle surplus in the
National Treasury Of near twenty millions Of dol
lars. The monetary revolution in New York is not
over 1t will spread and involve other communities.
We, even here, are not too remote to feel its in
uence and we therefore advise our friends in their
plans for the next winter, to provide against the
influence of such a contingency, take as few risks
as possible, and be prepared to meet them at the
moment. The high price Of cotton may somewhat
restore the commercial equilibrium and counterfeit
the effects of excessive importation, but IFS influence
will only be partial and will tend to initiate prices
and stimulate extravaganza, and so neUtraize any
permanent advantage.

pRnTFCTInN nF GAME

We publish to-day the last Of the series of articles
in favor of the protection of fish and game. These
articles have excited lively interest wherever they
have been read-so much that with a view to their
wider dissemination, his friends have prevailed up
on the author to have them published in pamphlet
form, which will soon be done. We believe that if
this subject were properly presented to them, it
would meet the cordial approval of large majority
Of the people everywhere. A copy of the pamphlet
we understand will be sent to each member Of the
Legislature, for his examination in the hope that
the subject may meet with favorable consideration
at the approaching session Ifnothing more should
result from this movement than the passage of laws
to prevent the wholesale destruction of fish, which
has already nearly dePOpulated our streams, those
who have undertaken the agitation of this question
will yet have accomplished much, for which they
will deserve and we trust Will receive the gratitude
of the people who to be the real benefciares Of
the proposed measures.

RELICS OF SIR Holm FRANKLIN

During the last days session of the American
Scientific Convention at Montreal, DR.. Wynne, OF
New York. introduced DR.. Rae the discoverer of the
authentic relics of Sir John Franklin's party who
received a cordial greeting from those present. He
exhibited the portion of the relics still in his pos
session, such as watch cases and chains, and a
spoon marked with Sir Johns crest, and described
their discovery, of which accounts were printed at
the time. These relics obtained, it will be re-
membered, from the Esguimauxs, who gave him
positive information concerning the party DR.. Rae
has more belief in the existence of them at pre-
sent than he has of the survival of those who went
down in the steamer Arctic, on account of the al
most utter difficulty of obtaining food in that re-
giOn. He thinks the party must have persisted from
hunger and scurvy in attempt to cross Peale's
Sound to Behring's Strait, after spending the first
winter at BECKY Island. They were last seen on the
Sound near King Williams Land. He thinks their
bodies were carried off by the floating ice, were
devOured by wild animals. Cap MeClintock, COM
handing the present expedition in search of traces
of the party. will endeavOr to obtain their written
records, but Dr.. Rae does not think this party will
meet With success because books were not found
among the original relics, but were destroyed by
the EsquimauX children. He gives credence TO the
word of the Esquimaux; because their testimony has
received confirmation in several instances. Neither
does ne think with some, that the party were MUIR
dered, because his own party were never molested,
and all the EsquimauXs east of McKenZie's river
proved harmless. DR.. Rae thinks DR.. Kane should
have built houses, according to the custom in
that region, instead of using tents which bur
densome to transport, and not comfortable as
snow-houses. The introduction of DR.. Rae proved
a most Acceptable episode, and his collection of rel
les was examined with great interest by the audi

From the Kansas ConstitationGlist
WHO MAY VOTE IN KANSAS

Judge Cato, Of Lecompton, on being addressed
by number of his fellow citizens, requesting his
opinion the question of who may vote in Kansas,
replied as follows:
81 am clearly of the opinion that the Legislature
intended TO supeTadd to the other qualifications pre-
scribed by the then existing law, that Of being a
bona fde inhabitant, who shall have resided in the
Territory months before the next general election.
There is clause in the act ofthe last legislature
expressly repeating the election law, as it stood
before the passage Of the act; and the rule which
governs in cases of repeal by implication is to exam
inc the provisions of both the old and statutes
and there be inconsistency in their provisions,
fthey all reconcilabe with each other, and can
have their full operation, there is repeal of the
former by the latter.
''The only Inconsistency observable between the
election law it stood up to the passag, the fifth
section, and the existing law, is this the law it
stood, required simply mere inha6itnacy, and the
existing law requires an actual residence Of six
months. am satisfied that the last legislature
intended to make no further change, leaving the
payment of territorial tax still indispensable
prerequisite to the right vote at next general
election.
81 agree with you in the opinion that the fifth
section of the of the last legislature is void
far it confines the right to vote to citizens of the
U. States only, who possess the other qualifications
prescribed; because the organic act contains an
express prohibition of the passage of any law which
have declared on oath their intention to become
citizens, and have taken an oath to support the
Constitution of the United States and the organic
act"
There has been much discussion as to who is
entitled to vote what qualifications necessary.
Above we have Judge Catos decision what require
ments make legal voter. As Judge he has
-ven his opinion that the Act requiring tax to
be paid before any can vote is still in force,
and the last Legislature added six months resi-
dence to make lawful voter, This decision should
be taken a qualification, and no doubt it will.
The first act is not repealed and Of course remains
in force The two acts taken together requires the
tares to 6spaid and sir months residence before any
vote.
The Wesport Star says that "GovernOr Walker
has fully declared himself to be in favor of six
months residence and the payment of taxes, as a
qualification not only to vote for the Constitution to
be made in September next, but also for members
of the Legislature and all county and inferior Off
GERS" That will make the Lawrenceites pay their
taxes, and they will have to up and do it vol
UNFAIRLY. The black republicans can pay up their
taxes or be deprived of voting The Sherifs should
have a list of every mans taxes, and every one be
required to pay poll tax, at the polls the day Of
the election.

A LOVER OF NATURE.

ARTIFICIAL BREEDING OF FIsH-We are informed
that very extensive establishment has been start ed
at Sat;ucks Lake. by MIR. Upham Treat, formerly
Of Maine. Mr.. Treat commenced his arrangements
early in the Spring, and has already stocked his
preserves with shad bass, salmon and other fish, to
a considerable extent. When the spawning season
comes on, he will commence his experiments, and
the prospect is that he will be entirely and remu-
neraively successful. There is nothing simple
than the artificial breeding of fish The entire
mystery consists in taking the female during her
time and by running the thumb with gentle steady
pressure down her back, force out her oya in jar
Of pure fresh water The male is then taken in the
same way and made to yield drops of the spermatic
fluid in the vessel; the two then stirred to-
gether for a few moments and the contract of the
fluid of the male has the effect to vitalize the eggs
al once. The eggs are then laid down in shallow
tanks with gravel bottoms, arranged in a series of
steps, that running water can continually pass
over them
The whole trouble of the breeder is then to keep
the eggs free from any sediment muddy deposit,
and in due time each egg becomes FISH. Thus al
most every egg in an innumberable ova can be
turned to account for the benefit of man. There IS
however, something 10 do after the eggs have be-
come fish, and that is, TO con6ne them within GER
tain limits by a dam, until they are old enough to
be able to take care of themselves, and make fight
against the larger fish, which would eat them up
There are now three or four establishments in the
country for the artificial breeding Of fish, and we
see no reason why every lake and river may not be
filed with life aad food, and made TO make immense
return to the enterprising men who 60 into it
