z THR CONSERVATIVE CcNvEsTIoN.-The Con.
,servatiVe, Stste Executive Committee OF Viz
ginia has issued call for q State Convention
to assemble In Richmond on the 31st OF. May
for the purpose of eiecting delegates to the
National Democratic Convention at st. Louis.
Presidential electors also will be chosen by
the Convention. It 10 strange that the Con-
serYative Executive Committee Of Virginia
has. not yet been able to determine upon q
just system of representation IN State con.
yentions. The present call SAYS there shall
be two delegates from each magisterial dis.
tTict In the counties. and one delegate from
each voting preciget In the cities. Under
this arrangement. Norfolk county, having
six magisterial districts, will send twelve
delegates, while Portsmouth, with o larger
CONSERVATIVE voting population, will be
entitled to only four. Norfolk will beenti:
tied to eight for the reason that the whites
and blacks 10 each ward vote in separate
boxes, which may be construed as separate
voting precincts, But the system is radi-
cally defective which gives the thirteen hum
bred voters Of Norfolk county, the same
number Of votes in the Convention which
are given to the thirtv:seyen hundred votes
of Portsmouth aud Norfolk. i IL viewed in
the light of population the disproportion IS
equally glariDg. The population of Norfolk
county is about 16, 900, while. that OF Ports.
mouth and Norfolk will reach 30, 900. The
same objection will hold good to other coun.
ties. Asa general things ward in the cities
contains more people than township In the
counties. In the city of Richmond three Of the
wards haveeach four voting precincts, and the
other three have three each, making twenty
one deIegatesfrom that city to the convention.
The population of Richmond is four times
that of Norfolk county or Southam pton, yet
it is given oyly nine more delegates. Rep.

be in proportion to population. There Is ne

Fish. Culture.

The report of the. New Jersey fish com.
missioueIs is one Of the most triumphant
evidences of the beneficial results Of the
cultivation of the fish and the protection OF
them from the destructive means for their
capture that have heretofore SO diminished
the stocks Of the rivers as almost to entirely
depopulate many of them. The rivers OF
New Jersey are, most of them, short and
ncensiderable. She is bounded BY the
Delaware on the west it is true ;
but that is not peculiarly hers. The
States of New Jersey and Pennsylvania
are cooperating in replenishing the stocks of
fish in that river. But the rivers of New Jer.
sey are so replenished that crowds of sports.

great Enjoyment. Even railroads are begin.
ming ito count the passenger.money from
fishermen as an important new source OF
revenue. The salmon, the trout, the club,
and other fish are being bred in great quaint
ties at the State hatching-house at Troutdale
The examples of other States ought to
arouse Virginia. We trust the Legislature
will ind time to pass some measure TO helI
along the cause. We see that the House Of
Delegates summarily dismissed the bill
against "pound.nets" upon the motion Of
General TAIlAFERRo, who represents the
mouths Of great rivers, and therefore the
gates through which the fish pass. In
their way from sea towards the in
land population. We know not enough
Of the subject to give an opinion about it
but we we'll remember what SETH GREEN
the veteran fish culturist and angler, said
about them. He represented them as fish
destroyers-as cutting of the people on the
upper valleys of the rivers-the fresh.watel
people-from supplies of fish. he is an en-
ergetic, "cussing" man, and he "blessed'
pound.nets. ~, y,r.. ...,.- ,..

Public ana 3 Private Interests.

There Is form OF conflict OF public With
private and corporate Interests that Is doing
q great deal to i1iure the public interests
and also to impair tie sense Of public duty
amongst the Representatives selected By the
peopls to take care of their interests. II has
grown TO be great evil because gentlemen
have begun TO regard It as conventional and
proper for them to stand up In the public
councils as representatives Of the people
while they sussain reIations to corporations
incompatible with the faithful performance
Of their public duties rendering it impossi
bic for them to give a fair, candid, and i'm
partial opinion upon many questions which
they are called upon to consider. 81
We but speak the truth. The mere state
uoent here made will cause blush to flush
not few cheeks. And weare glad to THINE
30; for, thank God, the men of Virginia are
not so deeply STEPPED in indifference 70
honor as not to feel the slightest departure
from it, or even the suspicion Of departure
from 1t, mantling their cheeks with the tinge
OF regret or indignation. ~
We have long thought that the law should
have an eye to this source Of faithlessness,
and we think every community in choosing
| their representatives ought to think often
before trusting their interests to men who
hold agencies or lucrative appointments from
corporate or other sorts of power welding a
bias in the State. Prinsa Jacie 1t has come
to this, that nearly all corporate authority Is
alien to popular rights-ever seeking favor
and increased power to set at nought public
opinion. The known representatives OF
these powers-tbose who have canped and
messed with them, luxuriated on their luxu.
ries, and literally disbursed their liberality-
stand in the peoples councils, and side with
the powers that are against them.
10 this way we know that the welfare and
the rights of the Commonwealth have since
the war been basely betrayed. We tell the
people that they cannot be too cautious
against this prolific source of public injury
and public corruption.
