Menhaden Fishing.
The Menhaden oil business in the State is about
the same in August as it was in July, The fish,
ermen report that in june large school of men.
baden made their appearance. and during the
month there was good prospect of . large catch
for the whole season, but about the first of July
large school of elbicores. or as some call them
barscouters, made their appearance on the usual
feeding grounds Of s.enhadep. driving the latter
into the rivers and bays S-<l Gloucester to Mt.
Desert. The result was plenty of fish, but Of
poor quality and small size This effects the fish
ing interest in two ways: 1t affects the factories
on account of poor quality, and fishermen because
their seines are made expressly to take fish off
shore, and in trying to take them close to land
they destroy their seines. One Steamer destroyed
five sienes in as many days anu caught less than
one hundred barrels although they estimated
that they surrounded five thousand barrels during
the five days.
The Albicore is fish about three feet long and
weighs about thirty pounds. They are called by
the fishermen "buchers," from their savage man
ner of destroying menhaden and mackere Capt
DE Blois of South Bristol, says that nine years
ago he found Abeores on the same ground where
they are this year, and that not menhaden was
seeu while they were present. He then came to
the conclusion that Maine was not a safe place to
continue the menhaden oil business in, and TAX
ing down his factories he removed his whole bu 81
ness to Virginia. The next year the menhaden
made their appearance off Maine, and were plen-
ty from that time until 1876, but during this time
the albicores were absent. Knowing the above
facts, it is the universal opinion of the menhaden
fishing interest that this poor season is not owing
to a scarcity of fish, but because they are driven
away from their usual fishing grounds

meeting. Nye's friends prevailed
upon him to demand a retraction,
and he accordingly paid the editor
visit. The knight of the quill re-
ceived his visitor very haughtily and
demanded his GRAND. Nye helped
himself to a seat in the sanctum,
urged the irate editor to be seated,
and calmly proceeded to discuss the
subject about which he had called,
lntrrmingling his conversation with
jokes and stories to illustrate his
points. The result was, that the
editor not only retracted all that he
had previously said that was Often
sive, but came out in his next issue
with a quarter column article in
praise of Nye, declaring hin, to be a
man of such generous impulses and
constant good humor, as to make
his errors worthy of laudation.

1876, says: "Our reporter called on the
officers of several banks this morning,
and from them learned that the tax on
the larger banks amounted to from $500
to $1,000 per day. This tax was 80
onerous that it completely walled in the
efforts of the bank officers. If any
large amount Of the redundant currency
should be on deposit for safe-keeping
on the part Of the owners, the bank
stockholders were compelled to pay u
tax upon it, without having any oppor-
tunity Of using it. Again, should .
holder Of large quantity Of gold place
the precious metal in the bank on de-
post, merely for safe-keeping, the bank
was compelled to pay tax without real
izing anything from it. Should the
banks officers be desirous of increasing
reserve for the purpose Of resuming
specie payments, their efforts were re-
tarded by the enormous tax that was
imposed upon them, and thus an obsta-
Gle was put in the way Of effecting what
is considered to be a desirable result.
With the present tax on capital,
amounting to about per cent, several
Of the larger banks had contemplated a
reduction of their capital from 40 to so
per cent, as the only safeguard against
serious injuries, if not bankruptcy.
With the rate Of discount fully two per
cent below the rate allowed by law, the
banks had no opportunity Of earning
money sufficient to pay the taxes and
current expenses. When the tax was
first imposed it was willingly complied
with as a war measure, but now so long
after the war had ended, and business
reduced in consequence to less volume,
requiring the use Of less money, some
consideration was deemed necessary in
order to save the banks from actual
ruin, and this subject was to be brought
fully before the meeting tomorrow.
The Financial Chronicle, Dec, 1876,
says: "The subject of bank taxation is
very ably presented in the report Of the
Comptroller. So much public interest
has been excited by this topic that it
demands a complete discussion. A Pc
tition to Congress is in preparation
praying for the repeal of such bank tax
es as are the most productive of evil,
and as there is growing conviction in
favor Of the repeal Of these imposts, the
petition, we suppose, will receive large
number of signatures IN all parts Of the
country. The recent decisions of the
courts are regarded by many persons as
conclusively settling the question, that
the only immediate relief to be at pres.
eut obtained by the banks from their
oppressive fiscal burdens must be sought
from Congress-.

Vice President Wheeler, who Is

tended by the president, that being to
