s-5S-THr Suhp Quxs1IoY.-It will bo recollectoi
that at ,e last session of the Legislature bill was
passed rec uiring owners of dams the Susquchapna
River 10 tnskc such alterations in the structure OF
their dams as would allow the passage up the river
OF shad from the Chesapeake, and requiring tho At
torney 6 cncral to take legal measures for the re-
mova Of the said distractions it. in the OF six
months after the passage of the act the said altera-
,ions were not made by the corporate authorities or
individual owners. But, either through Inc nesli-
gence or collision of the Legislative authorives,
no specific remedial or vndicatory provisions wcrO
incorporated in the bill.
This enactment was made in pursuance of the de.
nlands Of the residents along the Susquchanna River,
who had years ago large shad-f fishing privileges by
which vast number Of people had been furnished
with fish at very moderate price Since the
struction Of the various dams that now rufic tie
auie. bosom of tho winding stream" the .had have
BEEN kept "at bay" and shad in season is now E
great delicacy, only to be enjoyed by those who can
pay sixty and seventy cents to fish dealers who bring
them UP.

At a meeting hcd in Harrisburg some two months

late meeting this Committee decided to call the at

to this subject with vie TO something like concert

B. F. Washington, the editor Of the San
Francisco ErGmiaer, Democratic has the
assurance to write thus in an article on
negro voting: se szs
"a feeling of disgust must overtake
every decent man when his kindred and
heirs are threatened with the horrible fate
of mongrel regeneration. There seems to
be no barrier so high that this fanaticilm
does not strive to overlap it. Il il will
ing to subyert the supremacy of the white
race by mingling in It's veins baser blood,
and destroying its identity in an all-per-
yading amalsamation.
It is safe bet that the blood of some Of
the Washingtons runs to-day in the veins
Of the emancipated slaves Of Virginia.
Which is the 6Gser blood we won't decide,
but we have very decided opinion as to
the amount of baseness in the composition
Of men who would sell their own daugh-
tiers, and charge higher price for them on
account Of their white blood and personal
beauty. As to the " mingling," the cen.
sus tells US where that is done, and it will
be seen that Charleston and other chival-
rous cities, where Yankees were not al.
lowed to exist, have been foremost in
" su6verting the supremacy Of the white
race by mingling in its veins = baser
blood" The census of 1850 gave total
Of 2,957, 657 black slaves, and 346,666
mulattoes. The census Of 1860 gives 81
642, lat black slaves, and 4ll,6l3 mulat-
toes. Thus while the per centage OF mu.

Or FOR NEVADA few days since
a company of twenty-five gentlemen,
officers and stockholders of gold and
silver mining company of Nevada, started
from this city, after having partaken Of q
sumptuous entertainment at the residence
of DR.. James MacNichols. The party
were preceded by a full band, and fol-
lowed by long train of relatives and
friends to the Pennsylvania depot. Each
of the explorers was armed with Aliens
celebrated sixteen-shooter or repeating
rifle, and also brace of reyolvers. These
gentlemen represent various branches Of
mechanic arts and science, such as assay
ers, engineers, blacksmiths, and carpen-
tiers. They took with them the latest i'm
proved mining engines, and other appa-
ratus necessary for the business Of exca-
waiting mines of gold and silver. They
have eleven teams, containing in all fifty
four mules We well remember the first
party that started for the gold region Of
California, in ls49, and shortly after that
event many of the citizens of Philadelphia
followed after them Perhaps others oil
the present time may follow the Nevada
Adventures. The following are the names
of the party: Colonel 7. 6. Moorehead,
