Newspaper Circulation.

Three OF the journals In this city, each of
which has double the circulation of any
other paper in the Southwest, are just now
engaged in lively controversy as to
which paper actually leads the van in the
way Of circulation. The statements made
are most gratifying, especially to those who
make them. Publishing as we do paper
that has no circulation-that is to speak OF
in comparative way-we can yet rejoice
at the success of our neighbors. The
Times clinches the argument with statis-
tics, and in an article headed s'Facts and
Figures" as if the figures and facts were
not identical, gives the circulation of each
paper which prints more than every other
that is, the aggregate circulation in New
Orleans-tO be: Times, 3346; Picayune,
2O5l; Bulletin, 1l69. These are figures col
lected from news stands, and can not lie.
The information is perspicuous and COM
prehensive. giving the figures as compiled
from stand to stand, and embracing an
area extending from the Pontchartrain
depot to the Jefferson City Market. Tie
figures as arranged are calculated to over
whelm the feelings of the editor of any
village newspaper. Some of these journals
might be improved in appearance, and in
telligence, and yet not be held up to the
world as models. Still their very existence
is creditable. They live, move, quarrel
and have their mammoth circulation; they
tighten the burden of purchasing second
hand dispatches, and their proprietors are
entitled to all the rights, benefits, privileges
and plethoric incomes OF good journalists.

COMPULSORY Observation-Disclosures
Stewart, of Nevada, has proposed an
amendment to the constitution as
follows:
ARTICLE 16.-If any State shall fail
to maintain common school system, un-
der which all persons between the ages
of five and eighteen years, not incapaci-
tated for the same, shall receive, free OF
charge, such elemementary education
as Congress may prescribe, the Congress
shall have power to establish therein
such system, and cause tie same to be
maintained at the expense OF such State
This is one of the most important
amendments that has ever been SUBJ
mitted to Congress, says the New York
Herald. The constitution imposes upon
Congress the guarantee to every State of
a republican form of government. Now
there can be no such form of govern
ment, either in form or in spirit, with
out education. We are rapidly coming
to the doctrine that ignorance is crime.
and certainly it is crime against the
State. 1t is more necessary to build
School houses than jails, and quite as
important to send children to school as
10 preserve the quarantine at our ports.
We trust the Senator will press this
amendment, or one similar in spirit and
that it will commend itselfto the prompt
and intelligent consideration of Con-
gress.-PatJNrgh Telegraph.

THE FISH SEAsoN.-The abundan ce
of fish in tie Susquehanna during the
present season seems to have been al
most unprecedented. The Havre de.
Grace Republican says that during
several days of last week, such immense
schools OF shad and herring came up the
bay that the fishermen had to slacken up
and make lever hauls than usual or they
would have taken more than they had
capacity to handle. AS it Was, the
Philadelphia and Raltimore ,Aa.ln+ moo
glutted with fresh shad, and everything
available for striking herring was utilized,
aud the stock of salt and barrels ex-
haustcd in putting them up.
