Fish and Sheep.

Governor kEAPER does the State great
deal of service in directing the attention Of
the Legislature TO the Importance of the
cultivation of fish and the protection Of
sheep. ---
Each year proves 10 the world the great
wisdom of fish.culture. Fish is an article
of food whose importance all appreciate.
The use which men in savage life make of
fish-their fiocking to the streams at regular
seasons to catch and pack away fish
for future use-is striking illustra-
ton Of that providental guardianship
which placed so valuable an article OF
food in reach of races SO little acquainted
with the arts of civilization. Under the
progress of civilization, and the uses of water
courses that follow It, the supply of fish in the
rivers is greatly diminished. The art Of
fish. culture rapidly restocks them. and gives
to dense populations ample supplies OF the
best food. The choicest species are trans.
lated to waters where they were never
known before. So great blessing is rarely
conferred upon men, and we cannot over
estimate it.
The Governor wisely brings it earnestly
before the Legislature. We can in no way
devote the same time and money that this
measure may require with equal benefit to
the people. 1t becomes especially incumbent
upon Virginia to contribute her share to-
wards the stocking of the waters with fish.
Many of the States are doing all that can be
done in the work. The waters of the Union
are allied in one great system, and the enter
prise must be general among the States, or 1t
will be imperfectly carried out.
There never was an undertaking which
gave richer rewards for the labor devoted to
1t. The results every where are amszing.
Then, with regard to sheep, it may be said
that no domestic Animal is more worthy OF
protection. The sheep gives Us cheap food,
and also the invaluable clothing which pro.
tects men against the weather. That such
an animal should be left to the slaughter by
dogs savors of barbarism. What do we gain,
who have paid liberal price for the VOLTS
scalp, when in lieu Of the wolf We have the
| more destructive dog, which We make COM
panion and a pet OFF
We trust that the Legislature may this
year show o better appreciation of this sub
iecr. The Governor recommends coun ty
dog.tax to raise q fund in every county out
of which to indemnify farmers for sheep de-
stroyed by dogs. This is right and just.
The sheep, SO great source Of support and
comfort to man, should not be left to the
mercy Of the dog, which Is in the long rur
more of pest than benefit.

Editors Dispatch,-What has become Of the
rule made by the Legislature at its last ses-
sion that the clerks of the Senate and House
of Delegates in making their appointments of
assistants should distribute them over the
State, giving one appointment to each con-
gressional district? The rule is an eminently
proper, just, and fair one, and ought 10 be
carried out if it is still in force. 4.

pose that General GRAsr has been Ignorant
of ali this ? How can he censure southern
people for what is the regular practice OF
the Administration The thing Is mon
strous. 10, 4SA ~ F:,.ysr s,Ht
But look at the facts, Nearly all negroes
are employed by whites and see the hum
dreds of thousands Of them whe blindly vote
the Republican ticket because, as General
GRANT says, in the spirit OF small partisan
rather than Of President of the United States
the negro "knows That his friendsare of that
party" Taking this example into account,
ho " far does the alleged intimidation of the
negro in imitation of the Administration
succeed? But little way. e-
But the truth Is the Republicans are only
friends of the negro for the use they make Of
him. They reach office and the steslings in
the South by getting on his back. They are
mere hypocrites. The true frie, ds OF the
negro are the southern people, who give him
employment. He begins to find this out, and
puts not so much faith in freedmen's banks
and freedmen's institutions as he formerly
did.
The message, In short, shows that General
GRASr is in the deep rus of error 10 regard
to interference by the Federal Government
in the South, and the reasons for it. lie
speaks of the people and the States as entirely
at the mercy of the Federal Government
and unqualified to govern, and as though
they were animated by cruel impulses and
uncivilized prcjudices; whereas he should
know that there are no more civilized, and
generous, and humane people on the face OF
Gods earth than those he SO upJustly
asperses. 1t has become habit with him,
and it will bring him to grief. .--..
President GRANTS message is understood
to please no section and no party. Congress
itself is tired Of Federal interference in the
States. II has done more to kill the Repub-
lican party than any ether cause. Congress
will, it is understood, leave the subject to
take csre of itself. General GRANT may be-
wall the fate OF the negro and talk of the
"amendments" as useless unless they pro.
tect the negro and Cypress the white people;
but Congress is tired Of the whole thing; its
mockery and its Hypocrisy are too hideeous
to he endured.
