AT a meeting of the Fish Commissioners of
Maryland, Pennsylvania and New jersey, held
in Philadelphia, last Wednesday, a resolution
was adopted urging the importance Of the erec
ton of a fsh.way over the great falls OF the
Potomac, requesting the Uoitcd States Fish
Commissioners to take the matter in hand, and
calling the attention of the Representatives of
the States interested to the importance of ac-
ton on the part Of the government; and urg-
ing the States Of Maryland and Pennsylvania
to pass uniform laws regulating fishing on the
Susquehanna and the tributaries to the Poto-
mac. The Pennsylvania Commissioners stated
that they would place immense quantities Of
young shad aud California salmon in the up
per waters of the Susquehanna. Ii they were
not destroyed and we're properly protected in
their passage to and from the sea, that river
would eventually be beautifully stocked with
these valuable fishes, and the fisheries OF the
upper bay become much more productive.
Resolutions were also adopted urging the alb
clifton of fish baskets or fish pots in Maryland,
as they have been in the other States, as
they were found to be most destructive to
vOupp fish,

The following proceedings OF Congress yes

10 the House Mr.. Knott made a personal
explanation, defending Mr.. Adams, the clerk,
from remarks made by Mr. Whit. reAccting
on him. a bill was reported to amend Sec
tions 1893 and 1884 Of he Revised Statutes,
providiog penalties for sending obscene matter
through the mails. The provisions of the bill
were debated. Mr.. Hoar objected to the bill as
containing provisions more onerous than the
bill reported by Mr.. Poland last session, which
provided for The trial Of newspaper publishers
in Washington when charged With libels, and
would expose the press of the country to a
danger one hundred fold greater. After further
remarks the bill WAS recoumItted. Il bill from

UNEQUAL TAxATIoN.-The inequality OF
the assessments in different counties has long
been a source of very just complaint on the
part of those who are thus made to bear more
than a due share of the public burdens. In no
point, however, is the inequality more appar-
ent than in the school tax, which, Instead OF
being returned where it is collected, IS sent to
Richmond and redistributcd, under the pro.
visions of the Constitution, not in proportion to
revenue paid, but to population between five
and twenty one ears of age. A statement show
ing the amount paid and received, 10 return,
from each city and county, just prepared, by
the Superintendent Of Public Instruction at the
request of the House of Delegates, shows this
inequality most glaringly.
For example, the County of Alexandria pays
sl,155.56 and gets back for her schools only
81, O52. 50, or not quite sixty per cent. of it,
while ri tsylvauia pays but IS, S56. IA and gets
back $l3, Isl 9S, or more than a hundred aoc
fifty per CT, aud Buchanan, which pays only
1856. 10, gets back So, 03S-nearly three hun
CICu PEI VI, IL Il " OuiS tCaSOu luoh 1AiSA~
dria county has to levy so heavy a district ta2
to keep her schools going throughout the year
The cities, too. are very ~uujustly burdenet
under the present system, for while Alexan-
dria pays into the treasury $685. II, she re
ceives from it, for school purposes, but 81, 35S. O6
and other cities get still less 10 proportion; our
last school census having been very accuratel!
taken by the Clerk Of the School Board, AM
giving us, therefore all the money we are en-
titled to, whereas had it been carelessly done
las it has been, probably, elsewhere, We would
| have lost a dollar for each name omitted. Ih'
remedy for this inequality is a Constitutions
| amendment, giving each city and county tn
entire amount it pays for school purposes.
