received at the East, he endeavored
10 resent them upon the pioneers
who crossed the plains; he encour-
aged crime, smiled upon murderers
and as,assins, and vainly thought to
defy the power of the general gov
eminent. But while these events are
matters Of history, we would OF de-
sire to ignore their claims to a posi-
ton in the sisterhood of States. Nor
mons have rights that should be re-
sPected. Among them are many
simple-minded, honest men and wo-
men whose condition might be vastly
improved if treated with sympathy

SEA WATER AS AN ANTIDorE FOR
OBEsITY.-According to the Paris
Medicale, seawater, taken internally,
acts like diuretic and purgative salts,
= remarkable fact being that the diu-
retic effect increases when the pur.
gative diminishes. The water should
be obtained, when possible, from
some depth, aad far from shore. 1t
is then to be left to settle from six
to twelve hours, and filtered. It is
to be taken three times a day, in
doses of a small glassful, or in half
that quantity at a time, with fresh
water or milk. It is stated as a fact
that sea water thus used facilitates
the oxygenation of the blood, and
that it hastens the elimination Of ef
fete materials. In combination with
this treatment sea water baths are to
be taken, free exercise is to be prac-
ticed, and fattening foods avoided.

FISH CULTURE.-Our people who
constantly enjoy the luxury of baked
and broiled salmon, and whose boast
is that the fish of our waters are the
best that swim, are possibly not
aware of the pains taken at the East,
particularly by those bordering upon
the great lakes to preserve and prop
agate the delicious white6sh and
salmon trout of those inland seas.
The Legislature of Michigan, for
instance, recently appropriated &c.,
900 for this purpose, and the result
is that they have had in the incubating
establishment at Milwaukee, Wis
consin, 100000 whitefsh and sal
mon Fout eggs Matching. Ninety
five per cent. of these eggs will
hatch and the young ish be distribu-
ted in the waters of the State. The
greater part Will be deposited in
Lake Michigan.
The returns for money invested
in fish culture are described as enor-
mous-500 per cent. is not a high
estimate. The fisheries of the Do
minion of Canada for the year 1875
yielded one million dollars worth of
6sh more than in any one year be-
fore artificial Matching was begun.
1t is reasonably estimated that water
with less culture can be made to
yield more food per acre than land.

THE B. & D. FREIGHT TARIFFS

We learn that the authorities of TIE
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad have recon-
sidered their determination to increase
the rates of freight to and from local
stations on their line. The rates and
classifcations which have prevailed for
the last two or three years Rave been re-
stored, and will in the future be in force.
These worked with entire satisfaction
to our merchants and shippers and the
very best feeling has existed between
our business men and the road. THAI
cordiality of feeling will not now be dis
turbed. and the interests of both shipper
and carrier will be subserved.

q Republican partisan, was the presidine
judge. 1t was, of course, decided agains'
PIERCE, and appealed by PIERCE to tht
Supreme Court Of West Virginia, where
the judgment OF the Circuit Court wa
affirmed, it, the Supreme Court, being a.
that time of the same political complex
ion rs the Circuit Court of Preston
county. The case was then carried to
the Supreme Court of the United States
which decided the "Sutor's Test Oath
unconstitutional and void, which judg-
nent was, of course, entered as the
judgment of the Supreme Court OF West
Virginia, thereby reversing the circuit
court, and striking theshackels from the
hands of PIERCE and others who were
similarly prevented from contesting these
inlquitous burdens that had been heaped
upon them BY the war legislation" afore-
said.
But TO complete the demolition of these
disreputable statutes, and render nugstory
the judgments heretofore obtained under
them, the Constitutional Convention OF
West Virginia, which was called ia
1872, incorporated an article in the new
Constitution which provides that "No
citizen OF this State who aided or psrtici.
pated in the late war between the gov
ernment o: the United States and part
of the people thereof, on either side, shall
be liable in any proceeding, civil or
criminal; nor shall his propertybe seised
or sold under final process, issued upon
Judgments or decrees heretofore rendered,
or otherwise because OF any act done
according to the usages of civilized war
iare, IN the prosecution of said war, by
either Of the parties thereto"
Thus it will be seen that the people of
West Virginia. are determined to eradl-
cate from the statute books this species
of legislation, and SO far as possible TO
repair the wrongs it has already occa-
stoned. But the fight is not entirely
over. The parties who hold these iudg-
ments are not willing to give them up
without contest. We have not space
to refer to the present attitude which the
cases now assume IN the courts.
They are being contested on each
side by the best legal talent In the
State. The questions raised are novel
and peculiarly interesting to the profess
sion, while the matters involved are
equally interesting TO the people general
ly. We may take occasion to refer to
these legal questions in detail hereafter.
We content ourselves at present with
the hope and belief.thst the fruits of this
unprecedented legislation will be entire
ly stamped out, and the close Of the con-
test will estsblish b that after all, it is legis-
lation that did DOT legisiate.

Fate OF Passengers and Crew of

Steamer Georges. Wright.
SAN FRANCISCO, June "A survivor
of the wreck of the lost steamship Geo.
s. Wright has at last been discovered. He
is an Indian named Coma and was coal
HEAVIER on board. He was recognized on
the streets al Naninsmo Friday, and ar
rested and brought to Victoria yester-
day. The Cotonist of to-day says that
since the disaster Coma has constantly
evaded the police and until quite recently
it was not known that there existed a
single survivor of the wreck. Coma
confessed to the Superintendent
of Police, after being duly
cautioned, that at night the boilers
OF the steamship exploded and she began
to sink at once. Captain Ainsley, with
four United States officers and the pas
sengers got into the boat and told Coma,
who was on deck, to get in too. The
rest of the people were in bed, or tried to
escape by means of another boat The
captains party, seven in all, pulled
ashore near Cape Caution. The party
was nearly killed. The Indians gave
them blankets. A day or two terwards
three canoe loads of Indians came TO the
spot, and Captain Ainsley offered
the leader $500 to convey the
shipwrecked men to Fort Rupert.
Four of the Indians were armed with
muskets, with which they killed all the
whites, tied stones to the bodies and
sunk them in deep water. They robbed
the bodies of all their valuables, lnciud-
ing the Captains gold watch and chain.
They spared Coma, but told him that if
he ever dared to narrste the circumstsn-
css they would kill his father: Coma
thinks all the people on board, who were
in bed at the time of the explosion were
drowned, as the boat went down rapidly
The prisoner was to-day confronted by
the four prisoners who were brought by
the Rocket, aud have since been n Jail
here, and identified two as beIo nging to
