Fish Commissioner B. F, Shaw has
been absent about five weeks on the
shores of Lake Michigan gathering
the lake trout for propagation in the
Matching house in this city. He is at
present at Scammon's Harbor, a re-
mote spot in Saginaw, inhabited by
Indians and halfbreeds, and boards
with the only white family in that
locality while he prosecutes his
labors. He obtains the spawn artifi-
cially by squeezing the eggs from the
female fish and impregnating them
with the milt of the male obtained
in similar manner. He wishes to
get 100000 eggs, and in u recent let
ter says he has nearly accomplished
his task. He states that cold weather
has begun in that region, and that a
furious snow storm was raging at the
date of his letter. ~
BE-. Shaw returned from Michigan
Tuesday evening. He obtained $780,
900 lake trout eggs, 100000 Of which
he brought with him, and the re-
mainder he sent to DEBORAH, Iowa.
A stuffed specimen of the full grown
trout, and another of the white fish,
which Mr.. Shaw procured at the lake
and also speciments of the spawn
sack and milt of the trout, which he
brings with him preserved in glass
jars, are real curiosities.
Mr.. Shaw informs us that there are
100000 California salmon eggs and
100000 white fish in process of hatch
ing at the fish house. The salmon
will be ready In about sixty days,
and parties can obtain them by mott
fying Mr.. Shaw.

JUDGE DILLON, OF the United
States Circuit Court, has decided
that sending postal cards through the
mails upon which is written vile and
scurrillous matter, is not punishable
by law, but that it is the duty of the
postmaster into whose hands such a
misslve falls to destroy them. Yet
the learned Judge hardly knows how
to get over that provision of the pos.
tai laws. which forbids postmasters
from reading postal cards passing
through the mails.

MINNESOTA,


Minnesota improves her Republi-
can majority of last year, giving
Pillsbury, for Governor, a majority
Of 10000, with the Legislature two
thirds Republican.
MARYLAND.

ocrats have carried My Maryland by
the skin OF their teeth, the majority

nor, being barely 800. The Demo
Gratis have the Legislature. The ag
gregate Democratic majority on Con
gresham last year was 4,ls7.
MISSISSIPPI.
The one spark of light that casts
its beams upon the Democratic situa
ton this fall, comes from Mississippi
The colored voters, deprived of the
protection of the government, sought
personal safety by absenting them
selves from the polls, and the White
League thus having full swing car
ried the State by sweeping majority
electing full Congressional delega
ton and the State officers, with hard
ly show of opposition.
CHICAGO.
An intense interest has been felt in
the election In Chicago, mainly on
account of the peculiar nature of the
contest. The issue was square one
between the ruffians, gamblers, re.
peaters, ballot-box suffers and dan.
gerous classes generally, on the one
hand, led by Hesing, the renegade
Republican, who left the party for
:'reform" two years ago, and the re-
putable classes, the business men,
taxpayers, &C., on the other. The
latter party rallied around the Re-
publican party as the most appro-
pirate and available one for their pur-
pose; and the contest waged for the
past few week has been the most
desperately fought political battle
ever known in the history of Chi
cago. Hesing and his gang of roughs
and Williams, recruited from the slums
of that great city, determined to win
by any means however desperate; but
the result is glorious victory for
honest government, and bright
feather in the cap of our western
metropolis. Hesing and his asso-
ciates on the bummers' ticket, were
soundly beaten, Huck, the Republi-
can candidate for County Treasurer,
receiving nearly 1000 majority over
Hesing. The merchants and business
men and the decent population OF
Chicago generally have right to
feel proud of Tuesdays work; and
their success cannot help but rebound
to the prosperity and good name of
the city. Honor to Chicago for her
demonstrated ability to deal with
Tweedism.

SPEAKING OF the prospects for the
coming hog packing season, the Du'
buque Times says:
1t is we'll known that last season
was an improbable one for packers
from the fact that the prices paid fol
hogs were much higher in proportion
than the prices of the produce, and
the only hope of saving themselves
was in an advance in the latter. This
hope was not realized, and packers
lost money. 1t may be expected
therefore, they willoperate with more
caution this season. The outlook fol
the packing season is briefly as fcl
lows: The crop, as to numbers, is
estimated at about Is per cent. below
last wear, In view Of this and the
abundant corn crop, it is anticipated
that farmers will hold their hogs for
high prices, and that the season will
in consequence be backward. This
fact will, however, tend to increase
the average.

The Rhomberg whisky tax case
from Dubuque, was before the Unit
ed States Circuit Court at Des Moines
last week. Judge Dillon overruled
a demurrer and motion filed by
Rhomberg's attorneys, attacking the
assessment of $4,000 against Rhom.
berg, on the ground that the Com.
missioner of Internal Revenue had
no authority to make it. The author
ity of the Commissioner was sustain
ed, and the Judge ruled that the as
sessment makes a prinaa .facie case
for the government. The right for
the defendant to institute judicial ex-
animation Of the correctness Of the
assessment was conceded, however,
and the case will now probably be
tried on its merits.

DEATH ON THE RAIL.-Last Friday
night, during the severe snow storm,
as freight train No. IL, on the Hi
nois Central, Conductor Dow IN
charge, was coming down the Cedar
Falls grade, II. Pynn, a brakeman,
by some means fell from the train,
and was not missed until the train
ran up to the station at Cedar Falls
When it Mas ascertained that he was
not on the train, search was made
tor him, and he was found by the
train men at the side of the track on
the grade mentioned. He was terri
by bruised; a severe cut was made
in his head; one of his legs was said
to have been broken in three places;
and he also sustained several other
injuries. He was brought to this
city and everything done for him that
could be done, but his injuries were
too great to be survived, and he died
Saturday morning. He was young,
unmarried man, and had been on the
road but couple of weeks. We
have not learned whether he had rel
atives near here or not Waterloo

In the United States Circuit Court
at Des Moines last week, Judge Dill
lon rendered decree Of foreclosure
against the Burlington, Cedar Rapids
& Minnesota Railroad and branches,
for the SUM of 100000, and order
cd the sale of the road at Cedar Rap
ids the present month. The decree
contains provisions calculated to pro-
. tect the smaller bond holders, giving
them the option to take their proper
ton of the sum realized from the sale
of the road, OF to enter the reorganiz-
ed company on the same footing with
the new company.
DEGREES of foreclosure were render
ed against the Davenport q St. Paul
for four millions, and the Iowa Cen
trail for five millions, with like provis-
ions regarding the bond holders.

A PROMINENT Democrat, a member
of the next and several preceding
Congresses, who has carefully looked
over the ground and canyassed it, is
reported as saying, that Mr.. Kerr, of
Indiana, will receive the almost
united Democratic vote of New Eng
land for Speaker, and that his election
is as certain as any event of like
character in the future. Mr.. Kerr's
chances Of success are certainly not
lessened by the elections last Taes-
day. Randall, of Pennsylvania, who
has been considered his principal
competitor, will be pretty effectually
laid on the shelf by the Republican
victory in that State; besides the gen.
eral results of the November cleo
tons will, or should have the effect
of admonishing the Democracy to
send their cleanest-handed men to
the front, to which class belongs Mr.
Kerr.

THE Democratic third-term shrek
ers have received notable accession
to their number, Victoria Woodruff,
no less; and the Dubuque Herald par
AIDES her opinion with evident pride
and appreciation. Being Intercepted
by a reporter of the Cincinnati Com
mercial as to who, in her opinion,
would be the next President, Vic re-
piled:
"Grant of course. Money will
carry him through, just as it did be-
fore. The country is running into
monarchy just as fast as it can, It ia
now governed by two or three men.
Have you read my speech on the
Principles of Finance?' The truth
is all set forth in that"

The Davenport Democrat, prog
nosticating regarding Democratic
Presidential probabilities, says, cit

In the light of Tuesdays events, the
latter alternative is not improbable.
1t certainly does not look favorable
for Tilden, and if it did, disaster
is not necessarily averted.

EFFORTS are still beng made to
obtain the signatures of the jurors
who convicted Col. Joyce at Jefferson
City to a petition for Presidential
pardon, Six of the jurymen have
signed the petition. Robert N. Leith,
of Polk county, Mo-, one of the ju-
rors, seems to be the principal one in
acting for Joyce, and has called upon
his fellow jurymen to solicit their
signatures. 1t is now asserted by
those whose means of information
were good that, during the trial of
Joyce, certain parties from St. Louis
went to Jefferson City with $25, 900
to influence the verdict of the jury,
but that the jury-room was SO closely
guarded by incorruptible officers of
the law that it was found impossible
to use the money.

lack CHANDLER is not our model
OF statesman; we are not in love
with his political methods, nor can
we always endorse his Judgment in
public affairs, but we think it may be
set down to his credit that a paper so
eager and anxious to make point
against prominent men in the Repub-
lican party as is the Springfield Re,
publican, can find nothing worse to
say OF him than the following:
There are any number of worse and
more dangerous men in public life than
lack Chandler. He will be, in several re-
spects, an improvement upon Mr.. Delano.
There is nothing of the hypocrte about
him. He won't steal, himself, and he
won't knowingly allow his relatives to
steal. If he were to take notion" he
has business ability enough and force
enough to make an efficient Secretary, so
far as the routine work is concerned. But
the odds are heavily against his taking a
notion of that sort. By temperament and
lifelong habit, he is a partisan of the mar
rowest and most intense type.
The difference between the parti-
sanship of Mr.. Chandler and that of
the Springfield Republican is, that
the one Is frank, unconcealed and
hearty, while the other is attempted
to be hidden behind the cant of tic-
tltious independence" and a provin-
cialism that is ridiculous. The hear
ty hater of hypocrisy will find its best
development in the New England
corner of the famous Independent
newspaper quadrilateral.
