An Old Chincoteague Fisherman

In the summer when oysters are not taken
for trade and when dredging is prohibited,
the native Chincoteague enjoys himself fish,
ing for his family or CUNNING or loadng.
Tie women do some gardening about their
comfortable and neat little houses, and
raise vegetables enough to supply their
family wants. One of the natives called
"Kate" an abbreviation of his christian
name, Decatur, who has found out that
there is money in the sportsman tourist,
soon discovered the Baltimore gentlemen
of our party, and before they had eaten
their suprers on arriving, opened negotta-
tions on tho hotel porch, inquiring IT "You
tellers" did not want a boat. he said
"some other fellers" ha6 gone out In the
morning and had just returned with loads
of fjsh and game. He said we could 60
anywhere on the island in a boat, even to
camp meeting, but he was told we wanted
to 90 to supper and preferred to walk. One
of the valuable chaperons of Chincoteague,
who sits on the hotel porch and talks until
It is time for the steamboats, to arrive and
secures its moorings, remarked to Kate, 7"
who owns land, but does not cultivate 1t,
that the Chincotcaguer was too lazy TO
work and preferred always, when the
winds would give him an excuse, to loaf en-
the hotel porch and talk with "us gentle
men.V

The carbonized skeletons Of two men, who

the things found are eight rings, six pieces
of money, two pairs of earrings, two large

pairs of half globes, with little shells upon
them, held together by chainwork, and .

sham shOp Glrls waI.l :

correspondent writes to complain of the
epistle of Mr.. Bergh, in which that humani-
'allan says that if he should stop car and
opilge the passengers and the shop girls Ia
walk home in the slush and snow that the
HERALD, among others, would make a ter
rible ado about his using his arbitrary
authority, &c. Our correspondent wants Ia
know why the shop girls should be Obliged
to walk when most of them are thinlv clad
and few among the hundreds are able to buy
a pair Of overshoes and thereby may take
their death of cold just because SONS
horse in Mr. Bergh's opinion, is a little dis.
tressed. To clinch his argument the write,
adds 81 know a family father and mother
over seventy years of age, and an invalid
daughter that has not been out of the house
in seven years. who are supported by the
work of two shop girls, and they are about
three miles from it, and have to depend ON
the cars to do it"
1t will be seen that the painful burden oi
this epistle is whether the overcrowding OF
the street cars is to be discontinued at the
expense of poor shop girls, who will be
compelled to walk in consequence. Oui
correspondent evidently has not fully con-
sidered the question he undertakes to dis
cuss, and he berates Mr. Bergh terribly sins
ply because his own premises are false.
What the HERALD has been contending for is
that the shop girls and everybody else shall
both ride and be able to sit while riding, in
stead of being compelled to stand, as nova
days. 1t would certainly be better for those
gentle creatures who are supporting an aged
father and mother and an invalid sister ii
they were always sure Of q seat in the street
car going to and coming from their work.
To gain such an advantage as this the tenn
porary Inconvenience Of stopping over
loaded ears and compelling the victims OF
the street railways to walk might be borne
with comparative patience, though it is not
impossible that people who have consented
for years to be packed into these vehicles
would grumble outrageously if required to
bear their share of the inconvenience neces-
sary to reform. What is wanted is scat
for every passenger and plenty of cars to
accommodate every person who desires to
ride. When these wants are supplied there
will no longer be q question whether shop
girls shall walk, and to gain these even Mr..
Bergh may suffer with patience the bitter
shafts of irate correspondents who write to
the newspapers.
The New York herald., 1876-02-02

| declaration in Mr. Monroe's Message arose
from different quarter. 1t grew out of the
claims of Russia and the claims of England
on the Pacific coast, and that separate
declaration contains the really characteris-
tic part Of the Monroe doctrine. The Times
would have been entirely accurate in assert
ing that Mr.. Canning never assented to the
Monroe doctrine and never proposed it to
Mr.. Rush if it had only made this distinc-
ton between the two declarations of
the Message and had confined its
denial to the one which con-
tains the real gist of the Monroe doc
trine. That the declaration against colonial
tion, and not against the supposed designs
of the Holy Alliance was the one which
has taken such deep root In the public mind,
is proved by the whole subsequent history
of the Monroe doctrine. We cannot at
present go into that subject in detail. al
though there is an interesting thread of his
tory which might be traced. We will
merely cite one signal instance of the
official Interpretation of the Monroe doc
trine, which shows that the real source
Ol inc uOCJTlue Is Jldb QeCldIdllOH Oh
Monroe in which Mr. Canning had
no part. President Polk, in his
annual Message, December 4, 1S45, had occa-
sion to make very formal reassertion of the
Monroe doctrine; but he made no allusion
whatever to the Canning Rush declaration,
and rested it entirely Oh the other declara-
ton of President Monroe, which he
quoted at length. 1t is a well estab-
lished historical fact that that
part of Mr.. AIonroe's celebrated Message
was not acquiesced in by England. Mr..
Richard II. Dana, in the long note of more
than dozen pages on the Monroe doctrine
which heinserted in his edition of "Wheatons
International Law clearly points out the
distinction between the two separate declara-
tions, and says:-'It is well known that nei-
ther Great Britain nor Russia assented to the
position taken by Mr.. Adams and now pub
licly announced by the President under
his advice; for those Powers had
plans of extending their colonization and
occupation, and contended that portions of
the country were still open thereto in the
principles of public law. The London
Times is therefore, quite correct in impugn-
ing Mr. Fish's historical statements.

Roscor CoNKLISo AS CANDDArE. The
The Reference- Abuse.

One Of the most deplorable features of the
old Tammany rule was the bad influence it
exercised over the courts. The corruption
of the judiciary in the days of the Ring is
matter of history. There has been a
marked improvement in the personal charnc-
ter of our judges since the overthrow of the
Tweed regime. Probably no present occu-
pant of the Bench would allow political
leader TO inAuence his action on the Bench
and control his decisions. But when q
Judge allows a political party to dispense the
patronage of his court and to dictate his ap-
pointments OF referees in pending suits he
makes a dangerous stride toward complete
surrender of his judicial independence and
purity. Since reformed" Tammany took
possession Of the city government and of
some of the judicial Offices over year ago
the list of referees appointed by the courts
shows how completely the selections have
been under the control of political inhu-
ences. 1t is the 'Gratz" business over again
We have before us two copies of
the legal paper, one of October G,
