Pertinent Questions Answered.

The New Orleans Times contains the fol-
lowing pertinent bit of catechism, which
will puzzle some of our Radical friends to
couflte:
Did the Northern States ever have the
institution of slavery? Yes.
Did they free their slaves? No.
How did they get rid of the ]accursed
thing? They sold their slaves to the peo-
pie of the South.
Why did they discontinue slavery in their
midst? Because it paid better to sell their
slaves than to keep them.
Did they make any provision for the flu
ture freedom of their slaves when they
sold them? No.
What States were chiefly engaged in the
slave trade? The Northern States.
Did they continue the trade after slavery
was abolished in their midst? Yes. They
continued it until the commencement of the
war.
Which of the Northern States had the
greatest number of vessels engaged in this
trade and made most money by kidnapping
poor Africans and selling them into bond
age? Massachusetts.
Could not Congress have passed n gradual
emancipation and colonization act, allowing
Il moderate compensation for slaves? II
could.
Would such an act have been accepted by
the South? Undoubtedly.
What prompted the rebellion in the
South An assurance that the very men
from whom originally the Southern people
purchased their slaves, after they had been
stolen from Africa, were determined to re-
lease them without a restitution of their
own ill-gottep gains in the premises, and
to make use of the Freedmen rs tools. in
order to perpetuate their own political
supremacy.
Have the fears of h eSOuth been realized :
Yes.

The Fishcrman's Paradise-A Per-
feet Marvel.

The villages OF Neenah and Menasha, Wis
.eonsin. are blessed with Il most extensive
water power, furnished directly from
Lake Winncbago, which drives the wheels
OF numerous mills, cotton factories, &c, the
water being conducted through artificial
races, on the principle of II Hydraulic.
The other morning all the machinery
suddenly stopped. and the cause was, for
somc time, a mystery. The Neenali Times,
of the ID, explains:
commencing his Investigations Mt the
cotton factory, and going from thence to
the extensive Baltic Print Works on the
race. our reporter found the fumes and en-
tire race alike filled with fish. All of the
races in Neenah and Menasha, and both
branches of the Fox river, were literally
filled we'll fish, to the exclusion OF the
water. which was thrown back by this
great iish-dam. till the banks were in dan
ger Of ~overfowNgl As Don as the news
spread thousands of people tlocked in from
the villages and country to see the strange
sight. Oshkosh and Appleton furnished
their share of visitors. If we had not
struck oil, at least we had found fish. And
al kinds Of fish-from the smallest perch to
surgeons weighing n hundred pounds !
There were pike, bass, sunlish, surgeons,
catfish, and occasionally large, fat, founder
ing whitc-iish and Salmon-trout greeted the
eyes of the boys and men who were by this
time busy in securing a supply of fish in
so easy u manner, as merely taking them
by hand! Boys carried off strings of fish
as heavy rs themselves, while tcamsters
pnloaded their freight and filed their
wagons with the linny tribe. 1t would be
impossible to estimate the amouu of fish
secured that day. They were discovered
at daybreak, and about dusk "A break was
effected in their ranks and they went down
the river toward Appleton and the bay,
like huge islands moving in the water.
The cause of this strange phenomenon is
v%ariously explained, but the most feasible
theory Is that the ice in Lake W%innebagu
commenced breaking up on the eastern
shore, and. frightening the fish, sent them
in huge droves to the outlet of the lake

THE RUSSIAN TREATY

The treaty with Russia for the transfer 70
the United States of the Russian possessions
in Northwestern America was ratified by the
Senate yesterday, only two votes dissenting.
The only objection of seeming force yet urged
against the treaty is that based on the state
inert that this territory Is Incumbered by va
rIous charters TO foreign trading companies So
far as the mere fact Is concerned it is true, but
the terms Of the treaty make special pro vision
tor these existing franchises. Russia fiPst Of

claims OF these companies. This our Govern
ment declined 10 accede to. The Russian Gov.
