The Fishes Again.

We are glad to see that in the exciting
railroad war, an interest, scarcely inferior
In value to the whole railroad property OF
the State, is not wholly forgotten.
The Senate yesterday passed Mr.. Pen
dleton's bill apprepriating $4,000 towards
the expense of rePlenishing the streams OF
Virginia with fish. The sum is mere
trihe, but if promptly and judiciously ex-
pended, will do great deal. We hope it
will be Immediately put through the
House, and the Commissioners appointed.
Let them at once contract with responsible
parties to prepare proper spawning beds,
and stock them this season, the actual cost,
when approved by the Commission, to
be repaid by the State. II this is done, a
hundred billion young shad can be sent
out to their ocean pasturage this spring,
there to grow and fatten, and to return to
gladden. the hearts of our fishermen, feed
our people, and fertilize our lands.

Washington News.

Washington, March 10.-The removal of
Senator Sumner from the chairmanship of
the committee on foreign relations is still
the subject Of discussion in political circles.
Senators Chandler and Morton, espe-
cially the first named, made bitter speech
in favor of the change, and warmly op-
posed motion made by Mr.. Wilson to
recommit the matter. He declared that
the party would not lose a vote by the
change, but that it would harmonize the
party and strengthen the hands of the ad-
mnistration. During the latter part of
the caucus, as stated, Mr.. Sumner was
present, but did not participate. He was
confident to the last that be would not be
deposed, and only gave up when his col
eagues motion to recommit was lost
The only vote which was taken by yeas
and nays was on the motion of Mr. Wilson
to recommit and report Mr.. Sumner back
as chairman. 1t was in detail as follows
For Sumner--Senators Gilbert, Trumbull,
Robertson, Logan, Morrill,, of Vermont;
Morrill,, of Maine Wilson, Wright, Win
dom, Ferry, of Connecticut; Schurz,

The Republican members of the HOUSE
held a caucus last night, continuing three
hours. A private letter from the Presi-
dent to Speaker Blaine was read, in which
the President does not venture to recon-
mend any course for the Republicans to
pursue, but suggests that some kind of
measure be adopted for the protection of
Southern loyalists, without going into
further legislation. A general discussion
took place on the subject, but no conclu-
sion was attained.
Mr.. Inocencio Casanova, whose expul-
sion from Cuba has been noticed, was in
this city yesterday and presented a memo
rial to the State Department, setting forth
the facts of the expulsion, among which
was taking bis passport from him and re-
tanning it. He subsequently, called at the
Executive Mansion and related the facts
there.
The understanding is that the Southern
claims commissioners will organize and
commence business operations Immediately
a ter the confirmation of their appoints
ments.

The Senatorial investigation into the
Ku-Klux outrages in North Carolina has
been closed. So overwhelming is the tes-
timony as to the terrible nature of the
wrongs done loyal men, that the commit

The Ean Domingo Commissioned
Revolution Imminent

Santiago De Cuba, March "a letter
received from Puerto Plata, dated the 9Th,
says: The San Domingo commission
lett here for Monte Cristo yesterday ac-
compsnied by Baez The official belief in
Puerto Plata is that the annexation scheme
will be carried. notwithstanding there is a
strong party in opposition to Baez.
Threats have been made to burn the town
if it is annexed, aud already two houses
have been set on fire. Guards patrol the
t wn at night.
Partisans of Cabral predict general re-
lltion, aud there is much excitement in
the islaui. 1t is reported here that the
condition of Baez is critical. The annexa-
tion party, however, remains firm. An
attempt to assassinate Mr.. harrington,
British Consul at Puerto Plata, failed. The
Dominican General Luperon has entered
Dominica from Hayti to join the revolution
against Baez, and the American Consul at
Cape Hayten has reminded the COM
mander there that non.interierence with
Dominican affairs should be the policy of
the HaytieD government.

The ichmond and Petersburg Rail-
road,

In the contest now going on for the pos
session of this road our sympatbies and
convictions are uureservedly with the cit-
zsus of Richmond.
Every consideration Of policy and fair
dealing dictates that they should be al
lowed the first chance to purchase the con-
trolling interest, or place it in hands where
they are sure that this most essential con-
nection should be secure from any un-
friendly influence. 1t is clear, also, that
what is for the local interest is equally
beneficial to the State at large. A body
of men eminently combining those sterling
qualities which ought to control a public
corporation, and possessing the confidence
of the people of Richmond and the State,
have offered to pay literally for the State
stock.
This offer is in large excess of any other.
They likewise offer to General Malone and
ali other parties the most liberal terms, in
case they should obtain control of the road.
No bond or official oath would command
public confidence more fully than the as
surances they have given. If we cannot
trust our best and wealthiest citizens,
whose all is staked in the general welfare,
there is an end Of public faith. Let the
Legislature look at this matter deliberately
and thoroughly. No foolish haste to ad-
journ should be permitted to stave off these
questions, or prevent the full investigation
required by the gravity of the interests in
yolved.

The SCHOOL FUND.-The State Board
of Education have to their credit in the
treasury, or soon will have, about half
million of dollars, which they are anxious
to commence distributing, but find an un-
expected difficulty in the way-it appear
ing that number of county treasurers,
who were elected last summer, have not
qualified on account of an inability to give
the requisite bond, and consequently many
counties are without an officer authorized
to receive the quota of the school fund due
them. Inasmuch as the county judges
have power to fill vacancies, of course the
difficulty will soon be removed and the
money properly distributed.

Incident on the Square. Day before yes

propel herself with, was found walking on one
of the grass plots in the Capitol Square. As
soon as one Of the Capitol watchmen saw her
he commenced hailing, accompanied by an in
this, either not hearing or not disposed to
obey if she did, no attention was paid. The
police then proceeded to enforce the law,
which was to get the old lady off the grass

not only refused with her tongue, but banged
him with her stick. Finally, with the aid of

Escape of Highwaymen

Sail Lake, March 1O.--Wm Mckay,
the notorious robber, who, in connection
with three other men, recently robbed the
s)uthern mails, has again made his escape
from prison in company with the other
men, this time from the custody of the
Mormon police. He is supposed to be
striking for the Union Pacific railroad.
He is probably the most desperate rufian
ever in Utah

PARIs.-The disturbances in Paris are
expected to subside, we are assured, with
out the interference Of the military. As
the National Guard itself has been dis
banded, on account Of its demoralized con-
dition, no military force exists in strength
sufficient to put down the rioters of the
suburbs. The truth is that Paris is in a
very dangerous state of agitation, and that,
misled into excesses by Hugo, Rochefort,
and their class, she is virtually arrayed
against the government which is trying to
restore order.-N. Y. Tribune.

Frightfssl Hurricane.
TRAINS OF CARS BLOWN FROM THE TRACK.
SEVEN LIVES LoST-THIRTY TO FORTY
PERSONS INJURED.

A terrific hurricane passed over a por-
ton of East st. Louis between 2 and
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The wind
first came from the southeast, accompanied
by brisk shower, but suddenly veered to
the southwest, and came with fury and
force never before witnessed in this lati-
tude. 1t first struck the elevator on the
bank of the river, and took part of the
roof off, and passing in a due north
east direction, it totally demolished
the freight depot of the st. Louis
and Vandalia railroad, eight hundred feet
long, by one hundred feet high; the
freight and passenger depot of the North
eastern railroad, two freight-car depots,
portion of the passenger depotsand ticket
office and the large round-house of the
Chicago and Alton railroad, the car-house,
scale office, freight office, and part of one
Of the freight depots of the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi road the freight and passenger
depots of the Toledo and Wabash road,
and number Of dwelling-houses 10 the
vicinity. A portion OF the roof of the
Terre Haute and Indianapolis depot was
blown off, and nearly all the derricks and
other appliances used in the construction
of the bridge, were torn from their places
and blown down into the river. Every
thing in fact, within space of from two
hundred to three hundred yards wide, was
actually torn to pieces. A train Of cars,
including thirty ton locomotive, was
blown down from the track and hurled
about forty feet into a slough. Another
train of thirteen cars, ladeL with grain,
was overturned and smashed, and one car
was blown into the river.
A train was coming in on the Terre
Haute road, and when at Brooklyn, three
miles north of east of st. Louis, was blown
from the track, and about fcrty cars stand
ing on side track of the Toledo and Wa
bash, and Chicago and Alton road, about
nine miles out, were overthrown.
The round-house of the Chicago and AL
ton road, after being blown down, caught
fire from an engine inside and was burned.
The engineer of the locomotive was burned
to death. The number of killed and
wounded can not be now stated but seven
are known to be killed, and between thirty
and forty seriously wounded some dam
gerousIy, and good many more slightly
injured. 1t is believed number OF per-
sons are still buried beneath the ruins.
The scene is frightful. Houses are torn
to fragments, others are unroofed or upset,
and still others are carried bodily from
their foundations. Scarcely building,
tree, or anything else within the track of
the storm is standing. The wreck and
ruin is complete.
The pecuniary losses are estimated as
follows: The Chicago and Alton railroad,
100000; the Ohio and Mississippi,
5000, 900 the Toledo and. Wabash, $685.
900 the st. Louis and Vandalia, $50 900;
the Southeastern, $50 1000; Virgins Ferry
Company, $25 900. The steamboats, lying
on the eastern side of the river are serious
ly damaged.
