Supreme Court Reports.

Our fellow citizen, Hon. f. III
Stiles, Reporter Of the Supreme
Court, has just gotten his first vol
ume before the public. Ii is issued
by celebrated law book publishing
concern in Alany, New York, where
Mr. Stiles has been for many months
experimenting its publication. The
legal Fraternity, to whichit ismain
ly interesting, and valuable, are
unanimous in praising this the first AT
tempt OF Mr.. Stiles in this direction,
for its plain, clear, and faithful rem
dering of the important cases, tried
before the Supreme Court, during
the first half of 1867, the time it pnr-
ports to cover.
We take thefollowing highly COM
plimentary notice ofthis work, from
"The Western Jurist," a law maga-
zine published at Des Moines. This
notice from the able pen of Judge
Hammond the editor Of that maga
zine, is . handsome, and well desery-
ed tribute, of which Mr.. Stiles may
be justly proud:
s'The first volume of the new Iowa
Reporter makes its appearance
promptly, and contains the decisions
ofthe first half of the gear just clos
ing. But we notice in il neither any
traces Of undue haste, nor the defects
which might easily be pardoned
in the first essay in q task where ex.
perienco and the faculty of habit are
so valuable, as they are in the work
of o reporter. On the contrary, Mr..
Stiles first volume bears scrutiny re-
markably well, and assures us that
the Iowa Reports will lose, under
his charge, none of the reputation
which they deservedly won in the
practised hands Of his predecessor. -
His head notes are accurate, snccinct
and at the same time. remarkably
perspicuous, and he has wisely re.
tanned all the typographical helps to
the eye which constituted one Of Mr.
Withrows 8 greatest improvements in
the art ofreporting; while his index
strikes us as more carefully and sys-
tematically arranged than that oi
any other preceding volume. OF the
hundred and thirty cases, or there
abouts, here reported, more than the
usual proportion, we think, will be
found Of permanent value, not only to

The Speed of the Senses.

According to the researches of Helm
holiz, distinguished German physiolo-
gist, and others, il has been ascertained
that the nervous fluid moves at the rate
OF about ninety-seveu and one tenth feet
in a second. Now, electricity travels
with speed exceeding 100000 feet in
q second, and light over 9O0,000,000. A
shooting star moves with velocity Of
100000 feet in a second, and
the earth in its orbit around the
sun, 10000 A cannon ball has
a mean velocity of 1900 feet in second I;
az eagle, l30; and locomotive. 95.
The nervous fluid, il will be perceived,
has no very remarkable rate Of speed.
A fact, which, among many others il : 4
asserted, serves to indicate its non-ids n
tity with electricity. Again, Profe5 so

susq,,eha,,..a FISHERIES.

Up to the first of this week the fishing on
the Susquchanna river and the Chesapeake
Bay has not been very brisk This is owing,
in great measure, to the cold and backward
spring. George We Barnes, ESQ, who fishes
at Carpenters Point caught at one haul last
Yeek;:4o0 shad, and, although this is not a
large haul this shore--which is one of the
most certain at the head Of the bay-it is,
nevertheless, a large haul for this season. On
the Susquehanna, Mr.. George Brown made,
during the latter part of last week, haul of
400 shad and 500 herring, and another of $50
barrels of herring. VIM B. Morgan made q
haul, a few days ago, of so barrels of herring,
and Johu B. Cole one of 70 barrels. Cole &
Baily, on Watson's Island, opposite Havre de
Grace, have been averaging, since the COM
mencement Of the season, about 10 or Is bar
rcls Of herring to the haul. This shore isnot
generally very good for shad The OILERS
appear to be doing better than the shore
seines. Their average to the boat night is
from 1870 to 200 shad, Herring are now worth
at Hayre de Grace five dollars barrel. Al
though these figures indicate poor spring
fishing, yet if the weather keeps warm and
the river does not get too low, there is time
enough yet for persons who are engaged in
seine hauling and gilling to make good fish
ings. We have known fishermen to do well
after this time of year. t5seslsaz II v'rrr
Since the above was in type we learn that
the fisheries about Hayre de Grace and at the
head of the Chesapeake have been doing a
very airsbusiness during the present week,
and that shad range from $40 to $50 per hun
dred, according to the quantities caught and
the demand. Shad and herring are not I'M
frequently lower on Saturday than most other
days in the week.. r'om a-sg E.H

The Late Elections.

Under this caption the Tribune attempts
to make all sorts of explanations for the re-
cent overwhelming condemnation ofits party
in every State where an election has been
held. 1t endeavors to shut its eyes against
the handwriting on the wall, and to fabricate
excuses for the most overwhelming defeats
Mr.. Greeley conveniently discovers, for his
own satisfaction and for the edification of
his friends, that the Conservative majority in
Connecticut was doubled by the absenteeism
of defaulting Radicals. This might all be
very well if It were true, but unfortunately
for the Tribune, its own columns contain the
proof that bride was offered to every absent
Radical who would return home to vote, by
barefaced advertisement to pay his expenses
In spite of this shameless corruption, and the
fact that an immense sum of money was en-
ployed to operate on the election, Governor
English was reelected by nearly double his
majority of last year. Throughout New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kansas, Mime
sofa, New Jersey, Michigan, and in fact,
wherever an issue has been made, the cleo
tons have uniformly developed but one
sentiment, and that is adverse to Radical
rule.
In the whole history of parties, considering
that almost the entire patronage of the Gov
eminent is in the hands ofthe Radicals, there
uCfCi has Dccu WlbucoScu IofOlutiOu CUI-
responding to that which has recently hap
pened. Every local contest, however small
1t may be, without exception or reference to
particular causes, discloses the same result
And this too, in the face of the fact that
General Grants name and supposed influence
have been used to promote Radical success
Even his likeness has been autographed on
every ballot. We believe, if the Presidential
contest could come off tomorrow, that there
would not be over six small States which
would support the Radical ticket; and this
3 reaction is spreading, growing more positive
every day. nt -lts tis
Apathetic as the people may appear to be
upon the surface, they have not shown any
such indifference at the polls, which is the
natural appeal of the American citizen agains
injustice and oppression. Our countrymeI
desire, if possible, to avoid and to avert any
other issue than the peaceable arbitramen
of the ballot-box; but if they are driver
by tyranny, outrage and fraud to asser
their rights, it will be found that those wht
counted upon a neglect of duty or disre
gard of right have woefllly deceived them
selves, and misled all who have placed conf
dence in their assurances. The American
people have born and are prepared to endur'
much, but they are not prepared to see thei
q institutions destroyed, or to acknowledge TIN
proposed despQtisln of corrupt politicians
We advise Mr.. Greeley and his followers tt
look before they leap, and not to count chick
ems which have yet to be Matched.

q irankness, that oil the Republican State

~ Mr.. EDITOR Il observed in your last
weeks paper an ably written article bearing
the above caption, in which the writer
fully demonstrates the benefits and advanta-
ges of raising thoroughbred stock. 1t is true,
as he proves, that the profit derived from
raising pure stock, SO far outweighs all the
advantages Of raising common stock, that IL
is difficult to see what inducement there is to
breed from any other than the purest blood
But l did not commence this article
for the purpose Of enlarging upon the COM

has done il full justice. My only object
therefore is to. add one valuable name to the
list so graphically described by the author of
Thorough Breds." refer to Black War
rior, owned by Mr. Philip peSwan. This
horse is son of the famous horse Patrick
Henry, and resembles him in color, speed and
many other important particulars. His dam,
which is an unusually fast roadster, of great
endurance, is said to be thoroughbred

owner refused $1,000 for this horse at three
years old. Being an adInirer of good blood
and particularly Of the stock of Patrick Hen

ling You with this communication / have
no interest, direct or indirect, in this or any
other horse in or out of the county, nor am
prepared to say that there are not other horses
and other stock in the county just as good as
that of the horse of which write, or any ofthe
horses named by the author of Thorough

or better stock than the Patrick Henry can
be raised, if we are to be governed in our

icy The American Colonization Society Is
making an earnest appeal for money to colo
nize in Liberia more tl.an two thousand
freedmen who want to 20 there. -Four thous,
and freedmen have petitioned Congressto send
them to Liberia, or to give the Colonization
Society the means to send them. Some Of
their petitions have been published, and also
some letters from them, from all of which we
judge they are persons of some intelligence,
good character, and earnest in their desire to
emigrate. They are poor and unable to pay
their expenses. Many. of them have friends
in Liberia, They are all needed there--and,
as they want to go there, it seems desirable
that they should be assisted. The Societys
ship is expected to sail early in May and can
carry six hundred and fifty of them. Dona-
lions should therefore be made at once, and
sent in sums large or small, TO Rev. w. Nc
