We are not inclined at this time To scruiin-
ize severely Secretary Robcson's application
for five millions for immediate uses Yet tho
country cannot forget that the shocking
financial acknowledgement of the last five
months has left us without dollar
in the Treasury from which to draw the
needed supply. Secretary Robeson's five mill
lions can only be procured by running the
printing press and adding that amount to the
already shamefully swollen initiation. How
much longer is this thing to go on
Mr.. Alexander K. Shepherd was yesterday
confirmed as Governor OF the District of
Columbia by unanimous vote of the Senate
His nomination was the most scandalOus one
yet made by the President, and it was conf
IDENTIFY predicted that it would be postponed
until after the holidays, and then possibly
withdrawn. But he knew his Senate. He was
so certain of his hold upon them that he in
vited large number of members of both
Houses to dine with him yesterday to cele
brate his success. The vote was taken in q
thin Senate and not voice was raised against
him. Everybody i'll Washington knows what
he is. His friends. when they praise him.
limit their panegyrics to an expression OF
confidence in his snartness; )" You will
"neyer catch him." they say. The alarming
state of the finances of the District, due en-
tirely TO the operations of this man, Is well
known to the Senate. But those who believe
him to be q knave were out of the way when
their names were called, and the faithful
friends of the White House were all on hand
to do as they were bid How can a body so
servile be expected to deal with any public
questions which require nerve and con-
science? No wonder they drag Sumner from
his Committee, and choose Carpenter to pre-
side over their deliberations.
In the House, yesterday the much talked
of salary question came up. and was as much
talked about as such vital topic was sure
to be. Mr.. Halc's bill is a disappointment;
after the premonitory flourish of trumpets
which excited great expectations, the bill
seems weak, and, considering that there are
various schemes for reviving the franking
privilege and other Congressional perquisites
now lurking about the Capitol it will be re-
garded as a tempOrizing eXpedient. The re-
peal of the Thanking nuisance furnished the
excuse for the back pay and increased
salary fraud. Now it is seriously pro-
posed that mileage, frankng, free per-
fumery and other " stationery" shall
resume their ancient and costly proportions.
But Mr. Kssson of Iowa has dared to lay
sacrilegi0us hands on the Presidents allow
ances, and proposes to make a general rcduc-
ton Of official salaries In the Senate, also,
Iowa led in crusade against increased COM
pensatiOn. Senator Wright having vigorously
denounced the manner by which this Increase
was carried as vicious and indefcnslbe. After
so much talk, of course Congress was too ex-
hausted to go into "a vote; and the whole mat
ter goes over. Mr. Garfield probably gave
utterance to "a popular apprehension when he
intimated that there was danger that the re-.
peal bill would be simply talked to death.

Cariously enough, doubt seems to be enter
tanned in some quarters as to the actual posi-
ton of Gen. Sckles. 1t may be well to
repeat, therefore, positively that private dis
patches to this Office from Madrid, from high
authority, announce Gen. Sickless peremp-
tory resignation.

Whatever the delay in the action of the
Senate on the nomination for the Chef-Jus-
ticeship may mean, it is certainly wide de-
parture from precedent. 1t has been the
settled practice of the Senate to confirm the
nomination OF any reputable Senator or ex-
Senator promptly and without reference to
committee. ChefrJustice Chase was so con-
6rmed, half an hour after the reception OF his
nomination.

ES A WASr TO DE SurrLtgp.
While the most Of tho streams Of our
State abound 10 a great variety and
number Of fish, our own waters are no.
toriously barren. From tho Valley
Falls, 10 Taylor county, to the bead
waters Of all The streams which form q
junction above, We arc almost destitute
Of any Of tho delicious fnny tribe. The
cause We app,ehcndod is to BIO found
entirely at che above named falls, the
fish being unablo to pas any higher up
the Valley River. tho West Fork pos.
sessing . fair iharo Of all the varieties
usually found 10 the western waters,
as also the Tygart's Valley Branch, up
TO tho impossible barrier a few miles
below Grafton. Now, here is great
want to be iupplied-a fault TO be
remedied /; and fortunately the remedy
Is within easy reach. Within a dozen
miles Of our town, in any Of tho waters
amptying into the Yves. Fork River, q
supply Of perch, sunfsh, catfish, and
psrhaps-ethor varieties, could DO easily
obtained-quiie sufficient to stock our
streams; and IL the Legislature will
come 10 our aid with laws for their
protection, II will DO but q few years
until our streams will swarm with all
the above named species ofthe denizeni
Of tho wateri. Ne.
This matter is not 50 trivial as II

nurely the prospect Of providing our.
1elvss with a iafiiciency Of what is now
. variety, and Of enjoying many . days
port In pursuit thereof, Is sufficiently
1<hilorating.
The matter should be attended 70
lhis ,pring. The majority Of fishes do
mol pawn until July, so any procured
