Rochester:Express says:
''The fishermen along the Hudson having re-
fused to remove their nets for twenty four hours,

to move up the river where they are in the habit
Of spawning, Seth Green has hstched 10000
young sturgeon, which he has placed in the
river, and which number he intends to increase
to three million. In three years time they will
have attained large size, and will then 60
through shad nets like an arrow through the
air. and thus enable the other fish to move at
will up and down stream Sturgeon were very
plenty in the Hudson twenty years ago, selling
for fifty cents to 81 each, while the present price
in the New York and Albany markets is So.
and the demand is greater than the supply.
Shad are now sol ing TOR third of the price
that they sold for before artificial propagation
was introduced, and Mr.. Green expects in three
or folr years hence the price of sturgeon will
be reduced in a similar ratio. The sturgeon is
valuable as food for the poor on account of its
chespness, while the spawn is used as caviare, an
epicur.an delcscy, large quantities of which
are annually exported to Europe"

A CURE FOR HARD TIMES.

The cry of .shard times" is general
Throughout the country. 1t resounds
/ through all parts of the Union and is
heard in every direction. Old estab-
| lished business houses in the Atlantic
States are failing. and the telegraph IS
freighted daily with the news of sus-
pensions. The gold and silver products
OF the mining States and Territories is
sent to Europe almost the moment it is
coined to pay the interest on railroad
bonds and the National debt. 1t is es-
timated that the gold coin In the United
States does not exceed one hundred
and fifty millions. about twenty millions
of which Is in circulation on this coast
and the greater part of the balance is in
the hands of the Government. In view
of the continued depression of business
resulting in the failure and bankruptcy
OF productive enterprise, the enforced
idlensss ofthousands of working people,
the continued shrinkage of values and
relative increase of taxation, and the vast
burden of public and private debt. the
citizens of Indianapolis, without dis
tinction of party, believing that this has
been caused by a mistaken policy Of
financial legislation. have signed the
following demands upon the Congress
of the United States:
First-The immediate and uucondi-
tiopal repeal of the resumption act of
Jan. II, 1875. commonly known as the
Sherman bill.
Second The permanent retirement
of all national bank notes. aud the sub
stitution therefor of national legal ten
der money to be issued directly from
the Treasury of the United States.
Third-Tbe refundiDg OF at least a
portion of the present national bonded
debt into bonds bearing lower rate of
interest, say 60 per cent. per aDnum.
interconyertible with national legal
tender paper money at the pleasure of
the holders.
A cali for mass meeting. to be held
December 1st. has also been issued. at
which the above demands upon Con-
gress will be repeated. as the legislation
asked for is considered the most practi-
cal cure for hard times.

THE SPEaKERsHIP.

A dispatch from Washington says,
Samuel J. Randall, of Pennsylvania.
S. S. Cox and Fernando Wood, of New
York, and NJ. C. Kerr, of Indiana, all
of whom are prominent candidates for
the Speakership, are now in that city.
1t is impossible to guess who is ahead,
and there is a probability that some
man not yet mentioned may &c. away
with the prize. Ex-Governor Walker, of
Virginia, now a member of Congress
from that State, is talked of as q COM
promise candidate. Randall is an in
fa.iorist. and Kerr is for hard money
and in the event of dead lock between
them, it is thought that Walker will be
takenup and elected as compromise
candidate.

IT is reported that Senator Booth OF
California is getting himself in condi-
ton to act as the champion of re-
ciproci,y treaty between the United
States and Mexico. San Francisco
and the entire Pacific Coast wauld be
much benefited by closer commercial
relations. During the fiscal year end
ing June 30th, 1873. Mexico imported
from the United States goods to the
value of 81. 420,41 while our impor-
tations from Mexico amounted to Sll,-
336, $50. 1t is thought that California
would soon monopolize the commerce
of the west coast of Mexico, the greater
part OF which is now in the hands of
Europeans.
