The sending of the name of \. r.
Shepherd, to the Senate for confirmation
as one of the new Commissioners for the
government of the District of Columbia
points most forcibly the bulldog -obstina-
cy of Gen. Grant, as sketched in our edito-
rial. After the report of the Committee
of Investigation and its almost unanimous
adoption by both Houses, the attempted
appointment of this man, was a wantor
insult to Congress and the country at
large. But what cared the President, SO
that he gratiied his personal feelings? Ii
is to be hoped this is the last we will hear
of Shepherd. We believe that he was a
native of this county, but We are happy to
say he left it early in life, and sincerely
hope he never will return.

the Alexandria and Washington road,
reaching Waghington at 6.33 p. M; there
they take the Baltimore and Potomac road

the names of Ex-Governor Shepherd. Hon
VIM A. Dennison, of Ohio, and Hon. Henry
I. Blow, of Missouri. as the mmissioners
to manage the affairs of the District OF
Columbia until Congress perfects some
new form of government. There was a
sharp contest over the disgraceful appoint

" rejected the name of that Objectionable
individual by very large majority. The
name of Hon. \. G. Cattell of New jersey,
was then sent in in place Of Shepherd, and
the Commission as thus constituted was
confirmed by the Senate.

at proper period is as much a duty as
to have borne it faithfully. If some ter
mination to the services of the Chief Mag
istrate be not fixed by the Constitution, or
supplied by practice, his office, nominally

representative government responsible
at short periods of election is that which
produces the greatest sum of happiness to
mankind, feel it duty to do no act

Thus spoke the Apostle of Democray when
appealed to by numerous bodies of his fell
low-citizens, and the Legislatures of some
five or six States. If ever there was an
occasion when a violation of the precedent
set by Washington was justiiable it was in
this instance. But Jefferson was familiar
with all the great men who had helped to
frame our form of government. He knew
their views, he knew their sentiments
He knew that to listen to the syren voice
which offered him power would be to
prove recreant to them and to himself

The Potomac Fisheries.

The amount received by our fishermen
from the sale of fresh fish in the northern
markets the past season is about $250,oO0.
This shows the importance of the fisheries
in our river, and the necessity protecting
this interest by suitable legislation. The
bill introduced by Mr. Gedney last evening
in the Council is one of importance in this
direction, and should have been introduced
earlier in the session to have become law.
1t provides against the drainage of gas tar

which drive the fish away. Within few
wears past more than half the fish trade of
Alexandria has been transferred to our
