THE BLUE FISH As FIGHrER.-Colonel

HE DLOh Tl5h A. n pIdaIER.-COlOQol
Thorpe writes in Appleton's Journal:
The "old inhabitants" OF the jersey coast
take great pride in their locality, which Is
often Illustrated in very characteristic ways.
1t was at one of these country store gather
ings that learned cockney IRON New Yolk
attempted general lecture on the yoraeity
of animals of the feline species, more espec-
tally of the tger-bind. A representative of
Barnegat beach, who was present, listened a
while with unconcealed impatlence, and final
ly broke forth alter the following fashion:
"TEar's no use to talk to me about them
tigers for fighting and biting; they amt any
thiaAs tAsss may bs Soua?srod to a vol s1own
blueflsh. He's an animal, if be hasn't got
claws, that can whip anything OF his size and
something over. In fact, a regulaEebluefish is
natural enemy of every fish not superior to
him in size, and goes about as Satan does in
Scripture, seeking whom he mag devour.-
Nothing swallowable comes amiss to him
he gorges himself with bits of sea-w weed and
junk-bottles, and then gobbes up clam-shelIs
and gravel-stones to aid his digestion. The
tiger is nothing 10 bluefish, in tearing things
TO pieces. Why, shoal OF moss-bunkers or
porgies, disporting IN the sea, will be cut to
shreds in no time by a dozen bluefish. He's
| clipper built, he is; and when doing his work,
will spring at his fodder. dash around it like a
mad cat, and, in few seconds, kill, waste,
| and devour more than his own weight, driy-
ing every living thing from the vicinity but
the tautog-that black rascal having sense
enough to hide away IN sand holes and under
the rocks until the Earthquake is over. And
| when the bluefish has got surfeit, and you
would suppose you couldn't drive a point of
| knife into his body with hammer, he will
| dash at bone bait, seize it, and when you
haul him up, he will give you few nabs at
your hands and legs, just to let you know that
his appetite is insalisbe even in death. Talk
about tigers! what are they to fighting and
eating, to clipper-built bluefish ?"

One support of Comptroller Connolly has
been little reckoned on. 1t is generally un.
derslood that he is at the head of St, Patrick's
Mutual Alliance, secret society some five
thousand strong; its chief officers being clerks
in his department, and the officers generally
holding positions in the several departments
OF the New York city government The Or
CARNATIONS consists of Irish, (mostly Roman
Cathohcs,) who are devoted to its interests,
aud it is well known that it took an active
part in the riots OF last July. The society has
ritual, grip, and a password, thereby its
members are known only to each other; and
they are bound by the most solemn oath to
stand by this organization against all others

The New Circuit Judge.

The proceedings of the Legislature show that
the vacant Judgeship of the Seventh Circuit
has been supplied by the election of Col. Mont
gomery Moses, of Sumter, for she second time,
and by an, increased vote. The opposition
brought Gen. MCGOWAN into the field, and we
are glad to know that he received very COM
plimentary vote.
:, Mr.. Moses is the brother, and was for many
years the law partner, of the Chief Justice, and
is considered lawyer of fine abilities. He is
an affable, courteous gentleman, not much in
public life heretofore, and will make goodju-
dicial officer. In politics, he differs from the
Chief Justice, and has hitherto acted with the
Democratic party. We trust that he will re-
ceive the support of all law-abiding citizens,
without regard to party affiliations, that he may
be enabled to maintain order and tranquility
throughout his jurisdiction.

The Blue Ridge Railroad.

The following is the bill to repeal the Act
authorizing the endorsement Of bonds for the
Blue Ridge Railroad to the extent of 81, ,O0O,-
600, passed in 1868. This bill originated in the
Senate, and is substitute for thatpresented by
Mr.. Whittemore. It received second read
ing in the Senate on Saturday last, and unless
the Legislature postpones adjournment, it can
not reach the House of Representatives in time
to become law this session. But we are not
sanguine at this writing, Tuesday night as to
the adjournment of the Legislature on the 1st
of March, as agreed upon some weeks ago, and
We would not be surprised to hear that the i'm
maculate law-givers had concluded to extend
their labors for few days. If this proves true,
we have no doubt that the enemies of the Blue
Ridge Railroad will succeed in Withdrawing the
endorsement from its bonds, and virtually make
an end of this important enterprise, at least for
the present. The bill sets forth as follows:
Whereas the faith and funds of the State OF
South Carolina were, 4. e., by the Act of Sep
tember Is, 1868, pledged to the payment of the
bonds known as the Blue Ridge Railroad Com
pany's bonds of South Carolina to the amount
of 81, ,O00, 900; and whereas the faith and funds
of the State were pledged upon express condi.
tions which have not been complied with; and
whereas it has been found impossible to nego-
tiate sale or hypothecation of said loan, either
to the United States Government or private
capitalists and whereas only 81, 100000 of the
said bonds have thus far been pledged as COLA
teral security therefore,
Be 1t enacted, by the Senate and House OF
Representatives of the State of South Carolina,
now met and sitting in General Assembly, and
by the authority OF the same:
SECTION l. That an Act entitled Gan Act to
authorize additional aid to the Blue Ridge Rail-
road Company, in South Carolina" SO far as
the balance of the bonds authorized under that
Act, viz: 50, 900, 900, which have not yet been
pledged as collateral security, are concerned, is
hereby repealed, and the Comptroller General
of the State is hereby required to cause the i'm
mediate return and cancellation of the same.
The Columbia Union learns that Hon. VIM.
H. Trescot, Solicitor Of the Blue Ridge Rail
road, has written cogent letter to Senator
Wilson, of Anderson, in defence of the present
management of that Road, and against the pas
sage of the bill to repeal the State endorsement
of its bonds.

Death of an Aged and Honorable Citizen

.. The Laurensville Herald brings us the pain
iful intelligence that Oswell Richardson, Esq.,
one of the oldest and most respected citizens of
that county, has been gathered to his fathers.
Nearly ten years ago, Mr. Richardson was par
alyzsd upon one side, and has been an invalid
cripple ever since On Sunday night, 10Th Of
February, he was stricken again with paralysis,
and lived only few hours. He was buried
with Masonic honors on Tuesday the 21st ult.
Mr.. Richardson, previous to his affiiction, was
prominent in the public affairs of his county,
and at one time filled the Office of Sheriff to
the entire satisfaction of his constituents. In
deed, he was one of the most popular and ac-
commodating public officers we ever knew. He
was kind Of heart, upright in every relation of
life, and sternly inaexible as man of honesty
and integrity. He was truly Mason, and ex-
emplified that broad charity which is the foun-
dation stone of that ancient order. And withal,
he was devoted and exemplary Christian, and
ne trust has gone to join the innumerable
throng Gin that house not made with hands,
eternal in the heavens"

A DISGUSTING ScENE.-The Columbia cor
respondent of the Charleston Daily Republican
lifts the veil upon one Of the most disgusting
scenes that has ever transpired in the presence
of legislative assembly. Our readers can
imagine the disgracefu! tricks and grotesque
conduct of men calling themselves lawmakers,
who would permit horde of scoundrels to
desecrate the State capitol by such infamous
practices, And it is this sort of thing that has
pushed through the House of Representative
the swindling measure in aid of the Greenville
and Columbia Railroad, or rather for the bene-
fit of the crew of spectators and sharpers now
controlling that corporation:
There was scene in the Judiciary Commit.
tee room this afternoon, which exceeded in
barefaced impudence anything that has yet
made it's appearance in this or any other capi-
tai in the Union.
This room, which is located next door to the
House of Representatives, was turned into q
bar room, in the interest of the Greenville and
Columbia Railroad. Bad whiskey, beer, porter
and segars of the same stamp, were brought
into this room by swindling lobbyists, and
given out free to the members of the House
many of whom drank freely until they became
completely incapacitated to attend to the bust
ness which their constituents sent them here tc
attend to. 1t was certainly deplorable sight
and one that is calculated to degrade and great
ly lower the Republican party in this State, il
it should'be permitted to pass unrebuked.
assure your readers, however, that this in
fernal work was sprung in such manner thai
it was impossible for Speaker Moses, or the ma
| of tbo ,,,a,,berc. Of tho House Of ReDrp
sentatiyes, to know what was going on outside
as they were busily engaged on the appropria
ton bill and it is well to state also that such
a scene will never be permitted to occur agair
during this session at least. l would rather
be silent, and bury the shame which few bold
bad men, even in presence of strangers from
other States visiting the capital to-day, have
brought upon lis, but cannot; I therefore, ir
, the name of the great majority of the members
of the General Assembly, denounce this yilt
and villainous transaction.

nation the names of Messrs. Corn and BACON
as the most suitable candidates for the Offices
of Peace and Plenty, for the year 1871. 1t
hopes they will be unanimously supported, es-
pecially by our planting friends. As the NOM
nations take place within the present month,
the necessity of choice deyolves upon the

whether they will select an imperial govern
ment, under King Cotton, or free and indie
pendent condition of affairs, under the lead OF
Corn and Bacon, the backbone and sinew OF
