The "PREsS GAG" LAW INDOORS.
ED. The Senate Committee on the
Judiciary has made report on what
is known in the newspapers as the
"press gag" law, which fully sus.
tains the view of it taken by us,
and concludes by saying "the result
is that the act of June %, 1874, is
not in our opinion obnoxious to any
criticism, and in respect of the crime
of libel it confers no power either
to bring a person charged with it
into the District of Columbia OF
send him out OF it." The report is
signed by Senators Edmunds, Conk
ling, Frelinghuysen Wright, Thur
man and Stevenson.

ON Saturday last, Tom Whalan
of Paddocks village, emigrated to
Connecticut under peculiar circum-
stances. Some four years ago he
married daughter of Joseph Green.
wood, very excellent young wo-
man. He lived with and about
half supported her, till last summer
when he went to Connecticut, where
he wOoed aEoung woman, cripple,
but the possessor of some $40. He
lived with her long enough to get
we'll clothed up and spend all the
poor woman's money, about two
months in all, aud then slit out
again, returning to this place rap
ped at the door of his fatherin law,
who has been supporting his wife.
Since that time he has lived Oft and
on with his wife, with his own faith
er, running in the road, &c. His
wife had been informed of his ir-
regularites in Connecticut, but he
stoutly denied the stories. On Fri
day last an officer from Connecticut
appeared with q requisition from
Gov. Peck to deliver up said Whal-
an to the Connecticut authorities.
Getting Sheriff Preston, they pro-
ceeded to arrest him. But as the
officers went in at one door Whalan
went out at another and ran a mile
west with the officers at his heels.
They tracked him to Il barn in Wa
terford, and, seeing no tracks lead
ing from the barn, knew he was
there. After a long search he was
found in "a wooden roller with lot
of chaff scraped up at the ends to
obscure him. AS the sheriff run his
hand through the chaff into the end
of the roller he clasped bunch of
hair, and the next instant d voice
came out of the chatf, "By G.,
you've got me-" He was then hand
cuffed and the next morning emf
grated to Connecticut, where his ex
ira wife and the authorities in her
neighborhoOd can interview him.

INSTRUMENTATION. The trial sti

goes on and has every appearance
of continuing for several weeks long
er. Tilton's DISCRIMINATION clos
ed on Monday. and the direct exer-
animation was commenced by Mr..
Fullerton. During the cross exami-
nation Mr.. Everts read statement
prepared by Mr.. Tilton soon after
the publication Of the Woodruff re-
port. This ''true story" as Tilton
called it at the time it was written,
has not heretofore been brought out
in connection with the other evil
dence in the case. 1t is not known
by what means the defence came in
to possession of a part or the whole
of the document. Tilton supposed
it was destroyed. This document
goes to show Tilton that did not be-
lieve the story of his wife's guilt,an
not only denied it himself, but took
pains to procure evidence of the
falsity of the charge as made by
Mrs. Woodruff.
At the time of the publication of
the Woodruff story, the two princa-
pal witnesses, whose names Mrs.
Woodruff published as authority
for the scandal were Mrs. Paulini.
Wright Davis of Providence, r. l.,
and Mrs. Il. Cady Stanton. The
former was absent in Europe at the
time, but, as soon as the story reach.
ed her, she sent home an emphatic
denial. This denial was published,
and is reproduced in Tilton's ''true
story" Mrs. Stant0n's prompt de.
NAL is also reproduced, the two
showing that the strongest ground
OH which Mrs. Woodruff based her
allegation was unworthy of conf
NCiiCC. 4O tuOSC IctttIS are duucu
explicit and seemingly satisfactory
denials from Mr.. Beecher and Mrs.
Tilton, the whole going to make up
one of the most startling and inter
esting documents of all those yet
presented in connection with the
case. One of the most striking
features of the ''true story" aside
from the letters, is the account Civ
en- by Tilton of his famous interview
with Beecher, in which Tilton as
serted in evidence that Beecher
made no attempt 10 deny his guilt.
In this document he asserts that
Beecher, instead of admitting the
truth of the charge, answered by ga
royal mop The prosecution will
claim that the ''true story"
was written by Tilton to prove to
others the innocence of his wife, and
that he made use of modified forms
of expression and otherwise took
liberties with the facts to give the
desired cOloring to the record which
he prepared. The defence, however,
by Introducing the document, give
evidence of purpose to show that
TiltOn k new his wife to be innocent
and, in this "true story" furnished
convincing proof of the falsity OF
the charge which he now makes.

THE NEED OF INCREASED REEVE
NUE.. Mr.. Dawes is right, The
Government is in need of an In.
creased revenue, and the only
straightforward way of dealing with
the matter is to enact the necessary
measures for obtaining it. Taxa
ton is never popular, IN increase of
taxation is hard times peculiarly
obnoxious, but the Government
must be sustained, and If its income
is inadequate to meet the necessary
expenses it must be increased. 1t
is unworthy of patriotic citizens to
complain Of the duty of contribut-
ing to the support of the Govern.
mcnt. If the resources of the
Treasury are honestly and econOm-
ically used, and are sufficient for the
actual wants of the Administration,
there should be no question what
ever made of the necessity of in
creasing them. The only question
should be, is the necessity real ?
That point settled, it should be met
cheeriully.
AS to the actual needs of the Ma
tiOnal Treasury, we have the state
ments of the President, of the Sec
rotary of the Treasury, and of the
Chairman of the Committee of
Ways and Means, which show con-
clusively enough that the Govern.
ment is running behindhand, and
that on the present basis of eXpen.
ditures there must be an increase of
revenue. This is not. due TO an in
crease of expenses, but falling of
in the customs and internal revenue
receipts, which must in some meas
ure be made good The Govern
mcnt is suffering from the effects of
the hard times quite as severely as
the citizens. OF course, there should
be rctrenchment and economy, the
looping off of all unnecessary and
Improbable expenses, but it is evi
dent that with all that can be done
in that way, the Treasury will be in
embarrassment unless something is
done to increase its receipts.
The increase of taxation proposed
in the new revenue bill will not be
severely felt by any class of people
who have right to complain. Near
ly One.half is to come from distilled
spirits, and it will be perfectly easy
to escape the burden of that tax by
making no use of the article taxed.
Another proportion is to come from
tobacco, and those who find solace
in the weed should not object if the
Government derives a liberal bene-
fit from indulgence in its soothing
influences. The bulk of the rest of
the increased revenue will be OBJ
tanned by restoration Of the ten
per cent. taken from certain duties.
Very little benefit has been derived
from the reduction, and little hard
ship will be felt from the restora,
ton. The proposed addition to the
Government will fallvery lightly Oh
the people generally, and we see no
reason why the pending bill should
not be promptly passed. Nobody
wishes to see the Administration
crippled for want of funds, and it
is not desirable that economy should
degenerate into parsimony. Let
everything be done to secure effici-
ency and economy, but let us have
revenue laws that will keep the f.
nancial balance on the right side.-

Our Fish Culture.
ITS LATEST AcHlEyEMENTs.


From small beginning, fish culture
in the State of New Y ork has risen 10
an industry of very much importance;
Fishermen and the lovers of natural
history are no longer the only persons
who take in the annual reports OF the
State Commissioners. The entire pub
lie begin to see that fish culture, under
capable management, means cheaper
fish of the finest varieties. The report
of 1874, now made public, will greatly
deepen this conviction. 1t presents .
far more encouraging statement than
that of any previous year, vindicating
the wisdom of the methods hitherto
pursued, and leaving no room 10 DOUBT
that the expectations cherished Wy the
best friends of the work will be mostly
realized. The State is fortunate ID
having at the head of this novel un'
dertaking three gentlemen OF high
character and sound judgement who
are heartily devoted to the trust com
mitted to them. They are aided by
the best talent in this line OF practical
science that the country can furnish.
1t is to such propitious conditions that
we must attribute the remarkable sue.
cess which has attended the labors OF
the Commission. Shad-hatching Ia the
most important branch of the business,
and is conducted on large scale at the
State works. Last year the Commis-
sioners were enabled to turn 5000, ,OO0
yeung shad loose into the Hudson
river. The stocking of the river in
previous years has begun to tell its In
| the results. The nets in the hudson
made larger hauls last year than in
any previous year for along time--the
total reported catch being about l0O,-
600. This led to a sharp decline in the
wholesale price of shad along the river.
Encouraging as these figures are, they
are far short, as the Commissioners
believe, of what they would be il the
Legislature would embody their rec
concentrations ina law. The nets at
present are worked day and night
through the season without any inter-
mission. They may be counted by
hundreds from the mouth of the river
to the Troy dam, and prevent a sufh-
cient number of ripe fish from reaching
the headquarters to spawn, thus retard-
ing the process by which the river
may be restocked thoroughly and
quickly. The Commissioners suggest
as a remedy that fishing for shad be-
tween Saturday night and Monday
morning shall be declared illegal. This
would give. some opportunity for the
fish to make their way up to the place
of their birth, there to assist in replen
ishing the river. The Board are also
! opposed to the use of the pound net,
I peculiarly sweepipg and destructive
apparatus, which has been prohibited
on the Connecticut river with the bes
effect.-N. Y. Journal Of Commerce.

Notwithstanding the many statements
in regard to the dullness of the freight

abandoning the field.
The Cunard line, in addition to the
Bothna, which commenced running a
few months ago, will place another
new and colossal steamerlon their line
in a few weeks. The new ship is
named the pcythia, and is Of the same
Dimensions as the Bothnia, being 432
feet In length, with saloon and passen-
ger accommodations amidships. These
two splendid steamers are the longest
vessels ever set afioat by the Cunard
Company. FL
The Inman Company will bring out
their new leviathan, the City of Berlin,
which leaves Liverpool on the 29tli
and New York on May 10Th. This ship
is about 500 feet in length, and is said
to be the largest ocean steamer afioat
except the Great Eastern. Her saloon
is amidship, in accordance with the
plan inaugurated by the White Star
Line.
1t Is said that more money has been
expended on this new Inman ship than
on any ship excepting the Great Eastern
and 1t is claimed that no other snir
will compare with her for magnifcencs
and comfort in the passenger depart
