Republicans did not so much as nominate a
and the Independent Democrat,
who ran with the hope Of getting the negro
vote, was distsnced in tie race. Here is a
straw, from which tibet political managers at
Washington may determine the direction Of
the political wind in the South. The truth
is. since the negro has found out, under his
Radical experience, the real value to him Of
politics, be cares nothing for elections, and ii
be votes at all hereafter, it will be as South
ern man, equally interested with the whites
in good, honest government; which he knows
he can never get at the hands Of the Radicals.

The immigration societies Of the South, in
their pursuit Of labor t" restore the desolate
fields and abandoned plantations ftbat coun-
try, have SO far snught for immigrants in the
great hives whence the Northern States have
been SO plentifully supplied. This, we sub
NIT, is mistake. The Swedes, Germans,
Norwegians, and 10 great measure the Irish,
will always prefer a kindred climate to their
own, where they can be healthy, and where
the system of agriculture is somewhat akin
to that they have been accustomed to at home
Immigrants for the South should be sought
in more southern countries There is very
large and valuable population in Northern
Italy to be obtained for immigration, through
the port of Genoa. These people have already
been going to the Argentine Republic, and
other parts of South America, where they
have become most valuable citizens, eminent
for skill, thrift, industry. and quiet, peaceable
habits of life. In 1868 Genoa alone sent co.
600 emigrants to South America. But society
there is too insecure for this quiet people /;
late outbreaks oEriot and fanaticism will have
the effect to check the flow of population
thither; and there could not be better time
than the present for the Southern immigra-
ton societies to establish such relations with
Genoa as will turn the tide of emigrants to our
own Southern shores. The peasanty of Pied
mont aud Lou1bardy are precisely adapted to
the wants of the South. They would not
need acclimatization. and they are already &C.
quainted with the crops of the South-corn,
cotton, and rice being leading products of
their own fertile plains. They are people
of great industry and much skill. and would
be able to introduce the cultivation of the
mulberry. the spinning of silk, and the pro-
duction of wine, and of oil in the more south.
ern parts of the country. They are people
also of excellent instincts, very honest, very
industrious, and very dociie. No one who
has crossed the "waving plains of Lombardy."
or fingered in the valleys of Piedmont, has
come away without strong and affectionate
remembrance of these hardy folk. whose ways
are so cleanly and SO simple, and whose lives
so thrifty and industrious. Wash. Patriot.

The Point lookout Railroad.

49, sEs
The Marlboro Gazette of the 18th instant,
published a card for a public meeting on the
late, lyesterday,) in that place, to take into
consideration the bill for. aiding in the con-
struction of the Washington and Point Loc;i
through which t,shs .a Stion Of the countis-
vides for the subscription by the counties to
capital stock of the company BY the issue Of
bonds, to be taken at spar value" and for the
delivery of said bonds at certain periods and
under certain regulations, similar to those ex-
acted Of the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad,
when cur county subscribed the amount we re-
ceived from the State to that corporation. The
bill further provides that the question of Coun-.
ty Subscription shall be submitted to the legal
and qualified voters ON the first Monday in
August. This, however, we are satisfied will
be changed and the question submitted at the
general election next fall. As soon as the bill
assumes more definite shape we will endeayor
to lay it in full before our readers. = =

Comets

Many people have no doubt felt somewhat
uneasy at the prospect Of this planet and a
certain comet coming into collision next
August, which occurrence has been predicted
by Swiss professor of astronomy. What the
result of such meeting would be, is not well
known to the majority of mankind. For aught
they can tell, the earth would be dashed into
millions Of pieces and hurled through space !;
or it might be burned into cinder and be alb
sorbed by the moon We feel great pleasure
therefor, in stating, on the authority of that
excellent scientific Journal Nature, that we
actually passed through comet as late as
1861, and that it is possible we are passing
through one every day, as Arago computed
their number at IT 100000. All this shows
that cometsssafe very harmless affairs, aud that
their coming against our planet can hurt them,
but not us--nn]sss they hurt Us by exercising
a subtle n6uence over our mental organization,
and making us ripe for all manner of mischief.

Protection or Fish and Terrapins.

On the 5th instant Mr.. Chapman, as Chair
man Of Select Committee, reported favorably
abiil for the protection Of, and to regulate the
time and manner of catching and taking fish
and terrapins in that portion Of. the Potomac
river between Maryland Point, in Charles coun-
ty, and Chiseldine's Island, in st. Mary's coun-
ty, which bill, being further amended on the
9Th, is now upon its third reading IN the House.
The object of the bill is to prohibit non.resi-
dents of the county fishing in the creeks and
inlets Of the Potomac, between the points nam.
ed, except in cases where they rent q shore from
the landowners living upon said creeks and
inlets. The bill in no wise affects our own CT
tizens, in fact embraces but small portion or
the Potomac where either gillnets or long seines
reused, and is intended to give our own peo-
pie the benefit of the fish and terrapins in our
creeks and coves by excluding foreigners there
FROM except under certain specified regulations.
Theobject aimed at in this bill is not covered,
by &ny of the existing laws upon the subject OF
fishing, hence we think the move, on the part
OF Mr.. Chapman, good one. st. Mary s, Anne
Arundel, and other counties of the State have
similar enactments, even more sweeping than
the bill of Mr.. Chapman, and we are inclined
to think that total exclusion of non-residents,
as in the two counties above named, would
have been productive Of greater good, and have
given more satisfaction to the g,eat body OF
our people than the measure now contemplated
by our worthy Delegate. The class immedi.
ately affected by the. bill is that known rs win
ter fishermen, who are, without exception,
non-residents ofState or county. Moving from
place TO- place, RS inclination or occasion de.
nands, they neither rent shores nor pay for the
privileges of hauling Their catch, too, is al
ways sent to Alexandria or Washington, and
thus riparian proprietors not only derive nc
advantage whatever from their presence, but
in fact, are subjected to many annoyances and
depredations. Nor is this the worst feature O.
the business. The meshes of the seine used by
them are very small, and thus large. quantitie.
Of small fish, of no use whatever, are hauled
up and left to perish on the beach. This whole
sale slaughter is going on, it must be remem
bered, day after day land many times day,
during the whole season. Here, then, is pat
emit cause Of the decrease of the fish in on
waters, and, as we derive no benefit, from tn,
agents of their destruction, we think our Dele
gates should not hesitate to pass an act restrict
Ing their operations altogether, or else confn,
them within the narrowest bounds possible.

Captain Thomas Stackpole. the we'll known
commander Of the steamer Arrow, died in
Washington City, on Sunday afternoon last.
He had been suffering from disease of the

was not unexpected by his physicians
He was an enterprising, genial, and ener-
getic man in business; had much tact and
talent; was of good temper and habits, and
was known: generally by business men, and
was much esteemed by them. 10 his sudden
