Ths pssa s Done.

The conspirntors have contaminated
their work, IS far as the Returning Boards
could DO ii. South Carolina, Louisiana
and Florida, have been counted for Hayes.
The Radicals admit that the two last named
States gave decided majority for Tilden,
but they aIlege ''intimidaiiOn, : and BY
virtue Of the Judicial power Of the Radical
Returning Boards, they have thrown out
the votes Of certain Democratic parishes
50 as to convert majority for Tilden into
majority for Hayes. The enormity Of
this piece Of unparalleled political scoun-
drelism is well illustrated BY the result in
louisiana, where majority Of seven
thousand for Tilden has been changed to
a majority Of over three thousand for
Hayesl sWiIl the Democrats submit to
it?' is the question asked on every hand,
and the universal and emphatic response
is-NO. The House Of Representatives
will not permit these States 70 be counted,
and in doing 50 they viii be acting in
pursuance Of law and precedent establish
ed BY the Radicals themselves. There
viii consequently be no election BY the
people, and in that event it becomes the
constitutional duty Of the House of Re
representatives. to elect President. That
body viii elect Mr.. TildeD, who win be
inaugurated on the 4th Of March as Ger
tainly as the day rolls arOund. The Dem

ty Of using force, It viii be met by force
for the Democrats viii certainly maintaiI
their rights under the constitution, law
and precedents of the land.
Since the foregoing vas written the re
turns Of the Electoral Colleges of all tn
States have been received, showing tn
election of Mr.. Tilden, by division Q

given certificates TO two Republican cleo

Of the other three States viii be throw

The N. Y. SIN says as things are now
going at Washington, the next step Of the
eoDspirators will be to follow out Louis
Napoleon's exahs9le to the end, and eng

people allow their liberties to be struck
down without raising voice of remon-
STRANGE, why should not military despotism
complete is work and silence every utter
suce against its tyranny.
The first outrage in Louisiana was con-
doned by aequiescenee, because the scene
was distant aud the crime did not touch
our own fresides Now, however, the
capital is garrisoned and ships Of war are
ordered to the Potomac, to cover the pub-
lie deliberations in Congress with uumnsk-
ed batteries. Who shall dare to say these
menaeing preparations have no meaning
The Fleurys, St. Arnauds, Mornys, and

Mai. Ferguson, hsh commissioner, aiier the
successful Matching Al Druid Hill Park OF one
million of salmon eggs brought from the s..
Cloud river, in Oregon, has commenced the
distribution Of the small fish in the waters Of
the State Of Maryland. He commenced on
the 9th Of November, and up TO the 22d had
distributed 964 900, as follows $4,000 in the
Gunpowder, near Parktons $4,000 in 0wing's
creek, a branch Of the Monocacy, near Me-
ehaniestown, Western Maryland Railroad
10, 900 in the North Branch of the Patapsco,
at Tank Station 1900 in Pipe Creek, near
Wakefield, Westera Maryland Railroad 81
COO in Deer creek, near Pennsylvania line
As, 900 in the Patuxent, at Savage Station,
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad $4,000 in the
Patapsco river at Sykesyille $1,000 in the
north fork Of the Patnxent, near Mount Airy;
AZ, 600 in Little Gunpowder, east Of Monkton;
"a, 900 in the North Branch Of the Patapsco,
at Tank Station, $1,000 in the Antietam,
near Chewsyille, and 10, 900 in the Conoco.
cheague, west Of Hagerstown. Since the 22d
DOC, 900 Of the small fish have been distribu-
ted at various points in the waters Of the
Eastern Shore of Maryland. The fish are
carried in large tin cans TO the different
points, and deposited in the rivers by the
| hsh commissioner and his assistants.
The money expended by the Fishery
Commission of this State might as well
have been tossed into the deep for all the
practical good it has accomplished. Fish
ways have not be constructed in our streams
to enable the fish to ascend the natural
and artificial distractions therein, and il
millions more than have been introduced
had been placed in our waters, what good
purpose could have been subserved there
BY, since the fish are unable to ascend to
the head waters where instinct leads them
for breeding. As wen might these young
fish have been emptied out into some
abandoned sedge6eld, as to have intrOduc
ed them into our waters without the pre-
vious preparation of our streams so as t.
make the ascent, descent, and annual re
turn Of the fish to their Matching ground
practical. The bungllng character of mucl
of the legislation in this State is truly re
markable, and this fishery business is but
another illustration of it The propel
. preparation of all the streams should hav
! been the first work provided for after tn
creation Of the commission. This woulI
have been the dictate Of common sense
> But common sense has not ruled in thi
c case, although the experience Of Othe
States was accessible to us for our guild
t ance. When the Legislature assemble
again, the preparation of the difereu
$ streams in the State ought to be provide
/; for; if not, let the commission be REPEALED
e altogether.
