THE FISHERIES Several small lots OF shad
have already arrived from the lower Potomac.
This is unusually early for the appearance OF
these fish in any numbers and is thought by
some to presage an early fishery. The Super
iutendent Of Police has force at work hhug
10 and making other necessary repairs at the
fish wharf. 1t will soon be in good order for
the spring fisheries. Two cargoes Of fish ar
rived here this morning, one from Mr.. uhD
Horseu.an's shore, at Plum Tree Cat, aud the
other from Mr.. HeoderSon's shore, at Deep
Hoe. Several lots are brought up each day
by the tug boats, which have commenced run
Mug fish. The fishermen are jubiant at the
pros pect of successful fishery, after several
years of bad luck. Ii is hoped that their anti
cipations may be realized, as good fishery
adds much 10 the prosperity and welfare OF
large portion of our community.

eeiyed from Mr. Ferdinaud Lewis aud others,
Of Greenland, Grant county, West Virginia, a
ful representation of the iron ores and lime
stones of that locality. The ores, fossil hema-
ties aud limonites, correspond to the celebrat-
ed beds at Dauvile, Pennsylvania where veins
of snail size have been mined to great depths
In Graot county they are found in immense
beds at or near the surface, which can be traced
through several adjoining counties MIR. R @.
son, in his report to the Washington and Ohio
Railroad Company, says: "rhe amount OF Iroo
ore through this bell otcountry is simply enor,
nous aud beyond calculation. The several
varieties of limestone would afford both hrst
class huxes aud hydraulic cement, while the
immense coal measures Of that section are prac-
tioally inexbaustlble.

WHATEVER may be the result 10 indiana
at the state election next month, the Repub-
licans have fairly driven their opponents from
the field, so far as speaking can do 1t. The
addresses of Senator Booth of California are
among the most felicitous, eloquent and bril-
liant that have been delivered in any politi-
cal campaign for many years. At Indian.
apolis, the Senator analyzed Samuel J. Til
den's course and opinions during the war as
follows:
When the great trial came which searched
the hearts of this people, IN that supreme mo-
ment of our history when the instinct of patri-
Otism was higher guide than learning or philos-
opey. when the great idea of country came like
revelation of love, Governor Tilden took down
the constitution to see if he could fnd in its
written words any warrant for the existence of
this patton among the powers of the EARTH
He examined it as though he were trying to
find flaw in criminal statute to ascertain if
he be had country. The idea of . country
whose living presence is in the heart of pat
riotic people never dawned upon his caculat-
iDg and metaphysical mind. He analyzed
sentences, hunted among nouns and pronouns,
adveIbs and propositions; among commas aud
periods, coloDs and semicoOns. Think of it
the character aud existence of the nation, the
question whether it should meet armed rebel
Ion with sovereign power, was matter of
punctuation. Our destiny hung upon semi
colon. At last he reached conclusou-hear

geant from Otter Creek, WHO left the home of

through march and bivouac, in sickness and
suffering, aud privation and danger; who stood
with his comrades 10 the front of the battle,
joined with them in the charge upon the bat
teries that blazed with the fires of hell; fell,
bullet pierced, grasping the standard with the

True Friends and False.

The true friends Of the South, those who
by their conduct are doing the most for its
pacifcation and prosperity, are the men who
to-day support Hayes and Wheeler. The
enemies of the South are those who are ex-
citing the restless spirits of that section by
raising hopes that the old order of things
will be brought back, that the South will be
restored TO her former supremacy in national
affairs, that the black man will be reduced to
his old state of dependency. The Republican
party insists that the South shall accept the
situation, that it shall acknowledge equal
rights to all men and the political equality of
black and white. The election of Hayes will
will be reteration of this demand. On the
other hand the election of Tilden will signify
that the loyal element of the country
has made mistakes, that the enfran-
chisement of the negroes was an error,
that the constitutional amendments we're ill.,
judged, that the legislation of the last de-
cade is to be apologized for. Such a con-
fession will disturb instead of pacifying the
South, it will raise hopes that can never be
realized. it will lead to proloDgation of the
race conflict, perpetuation Of the color
line. On the other side the election of
Hayes will be accepted by the South as proof
that the country does not recede from its po-
sition regarding the freedmen, that 1t enter
tains no regrets, that it has no apologies to
make. Seeing this the South will come to
heartily accept the new condition of things,
an acceptance which would have been a fact
long ago had it not been for the hopes raised
by the reactionist party in the North. A
vote for Hayes is a vote for order and good
feeling in the South. That is why every true
friend of that section will support the Re-
publican candidates this fall.

Mr.. Julian, who is working for Tden 10

The loss of "hard times" will take away
all the Democratic capital.
We never elected but one old bachelor
president, aud he nearly broke up the Union.

Ter, ''Vote against him, now aud always"
Tilden is visby alarmed; he finds he's
got too much Hayes out, and irantically calls
on Seymour 10 help him get it in.
From this time on il is a stern chase for
the Democracy. The campaign has become

The Meritian, Miss, Mercury says I'VE
have got the state; we know how we got It.;
we know how to keep it, and we are going to

The newspapers all over the country are
saying the same that the Boston Advertiser
says: The evidences that the tide has really
turned and that we are really catering up
on season of prosperity, are too numerous
and convincing to be longer neglected.
A Democratic, paper has discovered that
Tilden's initials stand for ''Sball Justice

The School Question In Vermont.

The very intelligent correspondent of the
New York Tribune, 2 l. W., who is now
In Maine, writes from Vermont respecting
the canvass there. Among other things
which agltate the public is the school ques
ton and the action of the Republican
leaders and the declaration of the Repub-
lican National Convention in favor of a
school amendment to the Federal Cons.itu
ti0n. The correspondent writes:
But while either of the two candidates
would make good Governor of Vermont,
there are some questions beside those of na-
tional politics which the people of this state
are discussDg 10 the present campaign, and
which may have slight infuepce on the Re-
publican majority next week Oue of the
most important of these has been raised by The
action OF Congress on the proposed public

In the efforts of Confederates in the last

In the efforts of Confederates in the last
House to make showing of reduction they
displayed much ingenuity to disguise appro-
priations so that the total amount for the
year will appear less than that for the previ-
Gus year. A noticeable illustration of this
is found in the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill. In the law of
last year stated amount for postage was
appropriated for each of the Executive de-
partments. The ninth section of the law
of this year, however, authorizes the heads
of the several departments to make requisi.
tions upon the Postmaster General for the
necessary amount of postage stamps for the
use OF their respective departments not ex-
ceedng the amount stated in the estimates
submitted to Congress. By this ruse alone
the amount appropriated for the several de-
partments is apparently reduced nearly one
million aud half. And they call this re-
trenchment

MR.. TILDEN was member of the Judi
ciary Committee of the New York Legisla,
ture which investigated the judicial conduct
OF Judge Barnard. After the evidence was
received Barnard's friends proposed that the
Committee recommend that he be removed
from office by vote of the Assembly, in
which case he could be Immediately reelected
TO fill the vacancy caused by his removal
The other side demanded his impeachment,
which involved not only his removal but his
disqualification. Tilden, at the last moment,
when the choice had to be made between
these modes OF Furnishing the corrupt Judge,
weakened, and actually voted in committee
to substitute mere removal for Impeachment.
Tue committee, however, did not waver bu,
reported articles Of Impeachment under
which Barnard was convicted and removed
from office in spite of Tiden the Reformer.
