The Fishery.

The Alexandria Gazette Of Tuesday last
says:
The receipts of fish at Fishtown since
yesterday have been $4,000 herring only
which sold at 81 per thousand. The fishery
has almost closed, all the principal gillers
and most of the shores having 'cut out. y
Freestone Point "cut out" to-day, and af
ter Monday the only shores that will con-
tinue to be fshed will be those at Tent
Landing, Sandy Bar and Chapman's Point
The salters at Fishtown have, nearly all
ceased buying, and that place is rapidly
losing the busy and lively appearance il
has worn for the past two months.

Excursion of the Maryland Editorial
-.---. Association.

We before mentioned that there would
be another excursion of this association
in June next. A circular received by us
from Mr.. Ruby, the Corresponding Secre-
tary of M. E. A., furnishes the following
particulars with regard to the route to be
taken by the excursionists. We failed to
meet our friends of the association last
year on account of sickness, but we hope
to be with them this year. We think we
can justly claim some relaxation from ar
duous duties-the tread mill-of publish
ing paper, at which we have SO constant
ly applied ourself. Former excursions
have brought to us much valuable know
ledge and left upon our mind impressions
which afford subjects for most pleasing
recollection. We cannot, then, well afford
to forego the delightful trip now offered
US, if We can possibly make arrangements
[From the Circular.l
The Annual Excursion of the Maryland Edi-

reach Baltimore early on Saturday morning,
The Association will be under the guidance
of Maj. N. H. Hotchkiss, the Travelling Agent

Brightens homes and fills or souls,
With Hope that lightens every duty
springtime, so important to the farmer,
so full of inspiration to the poet and lover
of Nature, has this year been tardy in its
advances, and chary with it's sunshine and
blossom. The patient husbandman has
not, however, desponded, for he knows that
if seed-time and harvest are delayed it is
for wise purposes and there is no avoca-
ton in life so well calculated to teach pa
thence and trust in the tiller of the soil.
The dreary Winter fingered far into
Spring, and work on the farm has been I'M
usually delayed; the great staff of life,
Corn, which is generally planted between
the first and tenth of May, has not yet been
committed to the earth, save in few cases;
but by industry and perseverance all will
yet be well with it. The wheat is not
promising, and will yield only partial re-
turn. 1t is too early to speak of the tobac-
co crop, but the plants are promising
This crop is the chief dependence of our
farmers, who look with anxiety to it's cul-
e.-Marlboro' Gazette.

House of Reformation for COIOred Chill
dren.
General John w. Horn, the Superinten-
dant of the House of Reformation for Col
ored Children, situated in Prince Georges
county, has now under his care twenty
three colored children, who but for this
institution would most probably be Ian
gushing in the city or county jails. The
children are regularly taught the common
branches of an English education, and are
carefully learning the arts and mysteries
of practical farming. The best of health
prevails, and even those who reached the
institution in bad health have entirely re-
covered. The conduct of the inmates is
reported as uneXceptionable, General Horn
making his boast that nowhere can be
found the same number of children who
conduct themselves with greater propriety
There has not been single attempt to es-
cape; in fact it is thought it would be a
hard matter to induce any Of the boys to
leave General Horn has always entertain
ed the opinion that prisons should have
no walls around them, his idea being that
the higher and the stronger the walls, the
greater will be the desire of those incarce-
rated to escape. So far the House for the
Reformation of Colored Children has been
decided success.-B0ltine01e american.

sY -Four years ago, when harsher feel
ings were rife, the government found it had
made blunder, and shocked public SEN
timent by driving back with the bayonet
OF sentinel, the women and children who
wished to strew the graves of the Confed-
crate dead with flowers. A band of poll
ticians, associated as ''the Grand Army of
the Republic,'' are now about to play this
dirty political card again, and have issued
formal order declaring that an 'sattempt
by friends of the rebel dead to strew flow
ers on their graves = will not be
tolerated." Now we should like to know
by what right this organization issues Or
ders to anybody but its own voluntary
members. We know nothing in the laws
OF this or any other country, civilized or
uncivilized, to prevent widow, an orphan,
or friend from dropping flower on any
body's tomb. How, then, does it come
that a political association can declare
they will not tolerate it? They will be
law breakers as we'll as brutes if they in
terfere with it in any manner. If Horace
Greeley were alive, he would address them
as ''NarroW-minded Blockheadsn

- The Westminster Democratic Aduo-
cate remarks: "An evident revolution of
public sentiment is going on in the centre
and western sections of the Union. The
doctrine Of free trade is spreading like
wild-tire, and the farmers movement is
threatening an earthquake in the West and
a total humiliation of the Republican su-
premacy. High tariffs have had their day.
Monopolists must go down, and free trade
must go up, bearing the Democratic party
into power again on the wave of enlight-
ened public sentiment"

THE New Y ork Tribune makes this point:
sThe Louisiana delegation Of colored poll
ticisns, who have come North TO remove the
prejudice which exists against the admins
traticn of Gov. Kellogg, seems to be abun-
dautly supplied with means. A military
Company turned cut to receive them in
Providence, R. l., and the members of the
delegation we're so much pleased with the
honor, a local newspaper says, that they
paid the expenses Of the parade and gave
the company the handsome sum of $1,000
beside. Such unusual liberslity is little
suspicious, especially 10 men coming from a
bankrupt State"

IT appears that the postal telegraph
scheme is to be urged upon Congress at its
next session with even more zeal than at
the last session. The Washington CORE
soondent of the New York Times writes,
Sept. 10:
"Mr. Hubbard, of the Hubbard Postal
Telegraph bill, is in town. he is determ-
ined to renew his support Of his bill in the
next Congress, and is quite hopeful OF Its
success. It is known that the engineers OF
rival postal telegraph schemes will also re-
introduce their measures in the next Con-
gress snd it may fairly be expected that the
telegraph war will again be renewed. There
is reason to believe that the Postmaster
General himself has not changed his pre-
vious opinion upon this question, and that
he may make in bis next report recon-
nendslions similar to those in his last"

On the question whe her the fever devel-
oped in Memphis be really "Yellow jack"
or not, the doctors seem as much divided as
they were about the prevailing disease"
here in early June. The Western MettO-
dist urges that day offasting and prayer
be appointed to propitiate Providence, and
we hope the scientis will not demur, for
we believe with Hamle! that there is "more
in heaven and earth than is dreamt of in
their philosophy" The appeal of Thurs
day reports TRAIT Louisville has established
q quarantine Of three days against all pas
sepgeIs y rail from Memphis. The Ap.
neal states further that section-boss on the
Louisville railroad, and two of his hands,
died of yellow-feyer Wednesday, at Wythe
depot, twenty miles from the city. These
men have not been TO Memphis since the
appearance of the disease.

THE " race issue" has been sprung in
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, as well as
Charleston, South Carolina. In one of the
wards of Harrisburg the nero element
preponderates il the Republican party, and
they have accordingly carried the primary
meeting and nominated, with one ex-
ception, full ticket of their own race for
council, school directors, etc. They per-
mitted one white man on the ticket as a
monument Of black Republican magma
nimity. This IS the beginning of the end.
The negro vote in Pennsylvania forms the
Republican majority in the State. If they
should absent themselves fron the polls
once, they would bring the white portion
Of the party to their marrow-bones in a
iifFey, and make them z few shades paler.

The New York World presents two cases
of crime, which, from their political COM
ploxons, are worthy of careful considera-
ton. The first is that of Leo Canman,
clerk appointed in the Chicsgo Postonice
for political reasons, who was convicted in
the United States Court Of stealing regis
tered letters, and sentenced to ten years
Imprisonment. When he came up for SEN
ltence he asserted his innocerce Of The
charge, and declared that the letters were
''planted" in his pockets By other officials In
pursuance of a scheme 10 clear the real
thief, who being the near relative OF
United States Senator, was laloed 10
avoid detection, and then permitted
to leave Chicago. After serving one
month in jail as librarian, Csnman was par
doned by President Grant. 1t remains
mystery to this day why, being guilty, ne
was pardoned, or why, his observations OF
innocence being true, the real culprit was
not prosecuted. The second case is that OF
Col. ]. FL. Young, who goes to Chicago
with letter from Republican Congress
man, and is at once plscsd in the money
order department of the Postofice. Being
suspected of Irregularities, be is dismissed,
but carries with him bundle OF "advlce
envelopes and money-order blank, which
he counterfeits wholesale. BE has been
arrested. But what the resultw viii be can
not be told. He may have influential po-
liticaI hackers, or he may know too muc b
about certain parties. In either case
he is safe. Paymaster Hodge OF the United
States Army, who was stati-ned at Wash
ington under the very nose of the Presl-
dent, robbed the government OF four hum
dred thousand dollars. The Commit tee
who had the affair In charge reported that
it could not have been dons but for the
gross negligence of the accounting officers
f tle Treasury. Hodge was tried by 8
Court Martial and sentenced to imprson
ment for ten years. Within less than one
year the President pardoned him out
of prison. There was theft in the
ofics of the Sub-Treasury in rev
York; it amounted to over one hundred
thousand dollars. The thief is now free
man. In the very Office of the Treasurer
of the United States there was an embez-
element Of ever sixty thousand dollars; was
anybody punished or has the Treasurer
made it gOodP Millions have been stoler
Of the peoples money snd the thieves are a:
free as anybody; and yet we are daily en-
tertained by the assumption of purity Oh
the part of our rulers; who sppeara to con
slider all grlst that comes to their mill, and
to make free with it accordingly. Such
state of thing is disgraceful. Aud yet t.
this state we have been reduced by Radical
rule,

JUST month after the publication Of the
report of the official inquiry into the Vienna

Jay and McElrath acquit him of any culpa-
bility in the Irregularities, and that his sus-
pension is. accordingly removed. Upon
which the New York Tribune makes this
comment: Punishsd first; tried and &C
Quilted after yards; this is an illustration OF
the State Department way of dealing with
supposed delinquents.
