shad Catching At the Ohio Falls.
Louisville Courier. Journal

- 01 80
Louisville Courier Jonrnall
Il win be gratifying as we'll as most en-
coufaging to pisciculturists and the Fish
Commission Of Kentucky TO know that
tor the last ten days or two weeks past
large numbers of regular genuine shad
have been passing up over the Ohiofalls.
opposite our city, and beyond oil Ques-
ton are making their annual visit to the
headwaters of the Ohio river tributaries
to deposit their spawn. The Ohio river
at this place is about one mile wide, aud
along the line ofthe great railroad bridge
for three-qnarters Of the way across from
the Kentucky shore will average about
two to FIVE feet deep. enabling fishermen
to handle q seine at some points, At
the lower epd OF Corn Island Just above
the bridge, fifty to sixty shad, weighing
from two to fsur pounds, and twenty in
ches long, are taken every day, and at
some of the small islands below the
bridge many more are taken. The main
channel, three hundred yards wide, near
the Indiana shore, is too deep and swift
to do anything with a seine, so that, If
some sixty shad are taken daily at small
point, we may consider that thousands
are ascending toe regular channel.
Louisville people can now get the regu-
lar Eastern and Potomac shad in the
market every day at about half price Of
what they would have to pay for Eastern
shad.
1t has bsen cOntended by somethatthe
fish running up over the falls now are
not regular shad. So, to settle the ques-
ton, a lev days since Mr.. Pack Thomas
sent one by express to Prot Spencer L.
Baird, United States Fish Commissioner
at Washington, and we publish below his
answer by telegram Wednesday:
WASHINGTON, May 10, lS7L-Pack
Thomas, louisville, Ky: The fish you
sent me is not a taller, but q genuine
white shad, the result oil the United
States Fish Commission.
SHESoER f. BAIRD.
This ought to satisfy the most incredu-
lous, as Prof. Baird has been acting as
United States Commissioner for the past
SIX or eight years, and has distributed
millions Of young sbGd all over the Uni-
leu otaIeEi ana MS opinlon IS highest
authority in this country.
In 1872 the Government turned loose
about 400, 900 young chad in the head
waters of the Allegheny river at Sala-
mauca, in the State Of New York. There
can be no question that the shad now
running up over the Ohio falls are the
product Of those put 10 at Salamanca
FIVE years ago by the United States Gov.
ernmeRt, and is. proof beyond all ques-
ton that the shad, which is a saltwater
fish, when put in heads Of fresh water
streams will descend and run to the gulf
or ocean, and at the proper season for
spawning will return again to the point
where they we're hatched or put in fresh
water when young, though the distance
be 500 or 1000 miles, and notsithstand.
inE the water be of a muddy character,
such as the Mississippi and Ohio rivers

The total debt of Tennessee, &C.
cording to the cohptroller's report
of January, 1877, was at that date
S22,S52,00 less $27S,O2O.45 due by
solvent railroad companies. The
assessed value of real and personal
estate in Tennessee in 1876 was
$27S, 020, 534, at the rate of taxation
forty cents on the 800. On this
basis the estimated receipts for 1877,
from all sources, would be, $780,
400. The estimated ordinary ex-
penses were $7O7, 200, leaving $685.
$50 applicable to the payment Of
interest on State debt at the old rate
of taxation, the payment of the in
terest in full requiring a revenue in
excess of the ordinary expenses of
about $1,000, 900. An additional
tax of two mills would have pro-
vided for the deficiency and enabled
the State to pay the interest annu-
ally on all its bonds in full. Nor
would this be a serious burden, for
Of all the older States of the South,
Tennessee suffered least from the
waste and rayages of the last war.

In South Carolina a gratifying
evidence of harmony and good feel
ing appears in the unanimous cleo
ton of Mr.. McIvor, an eminent
lawyer, to be judge of the Supreme
Court. He received every ballot,
Republicans uniting with Demo

a spectacle Of harmony has not
been seen before in South Carolina
