Salmon In the Potomac.

Cum berland Civilian.
On Tuesday morning last Mr.. q. w.
Delawarder received NJ Oakland eighty
three thousand salmon, sent ID hIm by
Fish Commissioner Ferguson to be
placed In the head waters of the North
Brrnch of the Potomac. This tact
would carry pleasure with it to every
body living within a dozen miles of the
said North Branch, were 1t not for AL
otuer fact Some years ago black bass
were introduced into these waters, and
everybody piscatorialIy inclined congrat-
u.ulcd himself on the sport which he
would in a few years have in taking that
game tsh from the waters, But alas !!
what has been the result? The bass have
deyoured the greater part OF the
tish native to the waters,
and in the search for food, and
by reason of their migratory nature they
haye.now nearly all gone down over the
dams. and cannot get back again. That
the stocking OF these waters with osss
WAS . fine thing for those people living
on the lower waters of the Potomac Is
bevond dispute, but 1t has proven fail.
IRE for US. and until fsh-ladders are
placed on the dams, or some other ar
rangement made by which the fish will
be enabled to come up stream again
after going down, it Is q matter OF little
importsnce whether the North Branch is
or Is not stocked with salmon CT any
other species of the fnny tribe not ma
tive to the waters. We hope that the
fish commissioners will look into this
matter and remedy the evil at once.

West virginia University,

From the Morgantown Now Dominion.
We are glad to be able to announce to
the students and friends OF the Universe
ty, that a special meeting of the Regents
has been called by Col. ID. d. johnson,
president, to be held at Wheeling on the
18th OF January next, for the purpose OF
elccting President of the Faculty, and
for the transaction OF such other business
as may relate to the interests of the in
stitution. We learn that assur-
ances have been received from
the President and the othe
members of the Board, that an election
will certainly take place NJ that date aid
from the material now presented from
which to choose and the names yet to be
presented, they have,nO doubt of their
ability to secure such an active, capable
and popular educator from this position
as will give general satisfaction, All that
remains to Us Cf this community is to
give him cordial reception, support him
10 all his efforts to build up the Univer-
sity, and by both word and deed TO show
him and the general public that we
have confidence in his ability and
fitness for the position until by some posi-
tive act he shall forfeit that confidence.
Ii We, who are more deeply interested
Ia the success of this institution than
any other community i'll the State, would
see it prosperous we must all heartily
agree to helpit on, whether in all things
il conforms to our notions or not. The
Presto nt cannot be both Democrat and
Republican; he cannot be member of
all the religious denominations; we can
not all be members of the executive
committee, of all secretaries, treas
urers' superintendent or janItors, but We
can all alike be friends of the University;
all alike proud of its success, and helpful
to those who bear its burdens. Let US
not lay any obstacle in their way. Let
us conceive in all possible methods the
welfare of the West Virginia University
as the chief interest, attraction and
source of material, social and intellectual
advancement of this community, and the
rrcarc.t and farthest reaching OF all our
State enterprises.

SENATOR CaNKLuse,s POSITION.
ofthe Electoral Votes OF south Car
Olina, Flor ida and Louisiana.

Dispatch to theiN. Y. Herald.
ALBANY, December 6, 1876.-Recent
indications show almost conclusively that
IN the contest about to be waged in Con-
gress over the Presidential succession of
Mr.. Tilden will receive very strong aid
from the action Of Senator Conkling.
The statement of Dewitt G. West that
Senator Conkling was preparing to deal
with this subject, has received additional
significance from theory developed to-
day DO prominent member OF the Elec-
toral College, that the Unexpectedly
sharp tone of Governor Seymours address
on taking the chair is pref
ace to similar hnc of argu-
ment TO Hbe made by Conkling
In the United States Senate Seymour
and Conkling are brothers-in law, with
intimate personal relations, unmarried by
political disagreements. They both live
In Utica and consult frequently with one
another upon measures of importance TO
the country, where partisan prejudices
are not in the way. Conkling has been
reticent throughout the campaign, and is
believed by his friends to have very serious
and we'll grounded grievances against
the Republican leaders who ran the late
campaign in addition, he has aspirations
for the succession, four years hence, and
does not like the idea of entering upon
campaign at that time with the cry of 80
change" still unsatisfed, and the addi-
tional burden of an apparent stigma of a
possible fraud in the attainment of the
Presidency resting upon his party,
1t is believed he will make so strong
an argument against the reception of the
votes of the three Southern States that
the Senate may consent to throwing
them out. That, it is urged, would give
the party good record, restore peace,
and, at the same time time, divide the
honors, by giving the Republicans the
Vice Presidency and the Democrats the
Presidency. The statement that Mr..
Conkling is preparing very strong
speech upon the matter comes from so
direct source that its truth cannot be
doubted.
