FISH CULTURE.

The New England States have united in the
attempt to restOck their rivers with fish.
Owing to distinctions made by dams, fish,
which formerly were plentiful, have been pre-
vented from ascending TO the upper waters of
the streams to deposit their spawn. AS they
always return to the locality where they were
born, it would do no good to remove the dams.
To meet these difficulties the spawn is now in
troduced into the upper waters by species OF
artificial process, invented by Seth Green; and
that the fish may return, after being grown, TO
their native grounds the next year, fish-ways
are built over the dams, by which they can
ascend in their journey from the sea TO their
spawning beds, and they can thus carry on and
perpetuato the enterprise. Meanwhile, proper
laws for protecting the works, and in particu-
lar to prevent the rayages of sportsmen, are
enacted, and it may be expected that the ex-
tremest penalties will be visited upon whom
soever shall be convicted.
At recent meeting in Boston for the further
prosecution of the design, Prof. Agassiz dwelt
upon its Importance, and he presented some
facts to show the favorable influence which fish,
as food, exercise upon the human race in an
intellectual point of view. Fish, to large
extent, contain phosphorus, chemical ele-
"ment which the brain requires for health and
strength. There is no other article Of food
(which supplies the waste of the brain so
thoroughly as fish, and the evidence of this
/" is in the fact that the inhabitants of sea
shores, the world over are the brightest pop
ulation of the whole country" The Professor
also remarked that men are more healthy and
enduring in the proportion they vary their diet,
and take proper time.to eat and to chew their
food, and that man requires greater variety
of food than any other animal In civilized
country, little or no dependence can be placed
on food which ia spontaneously produced from
the soil. Beef, mutton, fowls, vegetables and
grain are produced by culture, and, so far from
these being natural to America, the greater
part were brought from the Old World, to be
raised artifcialy here; while they have ceased
to be found in their original state. For these
reasons, the plan adopted by the ew-England
Fish Commissioners has the same relation as
had the first attempts to domesticate animals
aud improve vegetable products. And now,
with our rapidly increasing population, aud with
New-York tribune., 1868-03-16

a high state Of mentality, which is still rising
higher, an addition to the supply of food from
fish must be considered of the first importance
with reference to future civilization.
These views will be likely to meet with some
dissent, for they serve to condemn the inhaDl-
tants of the interior to inferiOrty in place, and
such will say that the aborgines OF Manhat-
tan Island, whose chief food was fish, were In
no respect superior to the savages OF the pralrles
and plains whose food was the buffalo and
deer. But there are other analOgies between
sayages and civilized men which will faii to
prove O position, but which do not disproye
facts. The truth is, as the Professor suggests
that civilization is due more to variety than
10 n particular kind of food There is one part
of this subject upon which the Professor does
not touch, and this is with regard not only to
tbe different varieties in fish, but TO the differ
ent qualities they possess by reason OF climate.
II il well known that the fish of warm are in
ferior TO the fish of cold waters. Shad do not
attain their greatest excellence till they reach
the more northern rivers. The fish found in
turbid streams. whether North or South, are
inferior; but there are no fish equal to the
trout and shad found in waters recently as
solved from snow. If high intellectual stand
ard is to be secured by the use OF fish, GER
tainly the quality is next of consequence, and
from this may conclude that the inhabi-
tants of the tropics never can equal the inhabi-
tants of a cold climate. Still, if, in the cold
climate, the means now proposed shall be wisely
used, the supply of fish can be so increased as
to permit them to be exported in large quanti-
ties. and at the same time the propagation of
all the choice kinds can be extended to the
clear mountain streams of the Alleghanys, the
Cumberland, and the Rocky Mountains.

THE TREATY BETWEEN GERMANY AND
The UNITED STATES.

The Cable few days ago informed us that
the treaty concluded between the United States
and the North German Confederation has been
ratified by the Federal Council, or the Assembly
of Plenipotentiares of the North German States.
1t now only requires the sanction of the Senate
of the United States to become valid.
The treaty is of immense importance for the
hundreds of thousands of foreigners who settle
in this country, and hope, by assuming all the
duties of citizens, to acquire at the same time
citizens rights. The general principle of the
treaty, rs expressed in the first article comedies
what has long been demanded by America. The
German States agree to recognize those Ger
mans who have uninterruptedly resided within
the United States five years as American citi
zens, and 10 treat them as such. This uncon-
ditional and unequivOcal recognition of Ameri-
can citizenship is an important concession,
which gives to the adopted citizen of the
United States, from the moment he has become
a citizen, all the rights of native. There are,
however, some provisions connected with the
general principle which are likely to give less
satisfaction. The last section of the first article
provides that "the declaration of an intention
"tO become citizen of the one or the other
country has not for either party the effect Of
naturalization" Thus, the emigrants to this
country are left without any protection
on the part of the United States up
to the day when they become citizens.
Article 2 declares that natuIalized citizens re-
main liable to trial and punishment for an
action punishable by the laws of their native
country, and committed before emigration.
This article, 1t seems to us, leaves the door
open for a continued persecution of those nat
uralized Americans who, at the time of their
emigration from Germany, had not complied
with the stringent military laws which subject the
citizens to military duty until their thirty second
year. Formerly, German Americans, on their
return TO Germany, were prosecuted for viola
ton of the military laws of their native States,
as Germans according TO the new treaty. they
New-York tribune., 1868-03-16

will be amenable to the same laws as 1mer'-
cans. Article provides that Germans who
have become American citizens shall be held to
have renounced their naturalization when they
reside more than two years in Germany. This
article is entirely irrecOnciable with the first,
which confers upon the naturalized Germans
the full rights of American citizens. A native
of the United States may, from considerations
of business or health, reside any number of
years in foreign country without forfeiting
his citizenship. If the adopted citizen is to
enjoy, after his naturalization, equal rights with
the native why this very annoying limitation
of his rights
The articles which we have specified are, to
say the least, liable TO an Interpretation which
will leave the adopted citizens exposed to all
the annoyances of former legislation. The
treaty certainly contains number of provis-
ions which public opinion in this country has
not asked for, and which will fail to satisfy
those classes of American citizens which are
most directly concerned in the question

ZcbulOn B. Vance, Governor OF North Caro-
lima under jefferson Davis, was lately nomi-
mated for the same place by the Conservative
Democratic State Convention. After some days
of deliberation, Mr. Vance has declined, and
the Executive Committee have selected in his
stead Col. Thomas S. Ashe OF Anson. The
extreme course of Vance in support OF the
Davis Government would have sunk him be-
yond redemption had he ventured into the
canvass The result however, can hardly be
doubtful, no matter how good man the Con-
seryatives may put up. In anything like fair
election North Carolina ought to elect Repub-
lcan officers by 10000 majority.

TIE IMPE1CHMENT TRI4L.

The President was formally arraigned on Satur-
day. few delays like that so petulantly de-
manded by Mr. Stanbery would soon place nm
out of the range of justice, by the expiration OF
his term. The President, we think, will not
resign. He will probably contest the case, step
by step, in a fOrcible-feebe way, denying
and obiectng to everything, "inSsting upon
"the proof" abusing the opposing counsel and
the witnesses. This is his greatest opportunity
to make history. How many of us would have
heard of Warren Hastings had he not been the
hero of the impeachment trial so gorgeOusly
painted by Macaulay. There is pleasure even
in the nOtOrety of crime to which Mr.. john
son, we fear, has not always shown himself in
sensible. 1t is difficult TO know whose name
will live the lOnger-Cicsar or ErOstratus.
The Senate did wisely in fixing the time for
reply. Mr.. Butler ably answered every argu-
ment that could be made in behalf of the
application. We owe Mr. Johnson a speedy
deiverance from the country, or the country n
speedy delivcrance from Mr.. johnson. The
nation will not be willing to have the Senate
walk and the trial stand. If the personal lib
erty, or comfort. or emolument of blr. johnson
were merely at stake-if this were an ordinary
civil suit to test the ownership of property or
an ordinary criminal suit to vindicate the
majesty of the law-wc might rest patiently
under the delays of a judicial proceeding.
Impeachment might go into chanccry, and
come to an issue some time in the next century.
This is not a mere criminal or civil proceeding.
A great nation is rs much on trial as the
President, and all the interests of the nation
are arrested until we know who is to preside
over the Republic. Let the trial be calm, pa
tient, and just Above all things, let us have no
pettfogging. Let the Senate zealously ascer-
tain the facts, and promptly give judgment.
The question can be determined without un-
necessary delay. The President Is the last
person to demand a tedious trial He has been
busy for three years in arranging his plan OF
resistance TO Congress. and he certainly knows
the reasons for his action. All that the country
demands is that he make those reasons known.

style plantation system is not yet extinct, and
in these sections the colored population princi-
pally reside In the central and northern pOr-
tiOns there are few negroes, but great many
German immigrants and adventures from tho
Northern States. In the west, along tho Rio

Mexican population, with their peculiar customs

west there is an immense expanse of territory,
not yet settled by civilized men.
Texas suffered less during the war than any
other Southern State; indeed, her people found
in the demands of the Rebel army for beef and
grain an excellent opportunity for filling their
pockets and came out in 1865 probably better
off than they went in. Just at this time her
people are voting for Convention, to revise
their Constitution and resume their relations
with the General Government, and one of the
incidental questions discussed in their newspa-
pers is this of dividing the State. We presume
the Democrats there and in Congress will op-
pose the project; it certainly is not pleasant to
be hoist with ones own petard; but now thas
Slavery is forever gone, we do not see any good
reason to oppose the division, while the I'M
mense size of the present State, the diverse
habits and interests of the people, and tho
additional enterprise which would be infused
by the creation of new centers Of trade, capi-
tails, officers and legislatures, more than war
rant the change. Aside from these reasons.
it may be argued that one of the most eifectual
means of breaking down the lingering spirit OF
hostility to the General Government is to d.
vert and dissipate, by new political comblna-
tions, that spirit of State pride which clinss 50
powerfully to the feelings and traditions of the

Prince Lucian BOnaparte, near relative of the
French Emperor, as he is tho grandson of
Lucian Bonaparte, the only brother of the first
