THE San Francisco Bulletin says:
Many shad are now being taken from
the bay in the nets of fishermen and
in salmon-traps at the mouth of rivers.
The law prohibits the catching Of
shad before December, 1877, but &C.
casionally fish of this species gets
into the net of fisherman and is
taken accidentally. The first shad
were brought here by Seth Green in
1871, and placed in the Sacramento
river at Tehsma. These doubtless
matured and spawned in 1874. The
shad now caught are two years old,
weighing from pound toa pound and
a quarter each. They are doubtless
the first product of those brought by
Seth Green in 1871. The California
Fish Commissioners are much graft
fed with the results Of their expert
ments in shad culture, and believe
that they made a wise decision when
they decided to stock the waters Of
the Sacramento. As several hundred
thousand shad have been put in since
then, there is reason to believe they
will be caught in great numbers next
year. These facts have been reported
to Professor Baird of the Smithsoni-
an Institute, and he is so highly
pleased with the success of the ex-
pertinent, that he proposes in his ca
pacity of United States Fish Com
missioner, to aid the California Com
missioners in this enterprise, by
sending in June next two million
young shad to be placed in the Sac
ramento, at the point where the first
deposit was made. He believes that
spawning shad can he taken from
that stream in quantities sufficient to
stock all the waters OF the Pacific
coast.

THE TROUBL0US STATES.

The President has cut the Gordian
knot 10 the affairs of South Carolina,
- we have hitherto predicted, by
ordering the withdrawal of the troops
from the State House at Columbia.
Governor Hampton left Washington
Monday night on his return, and it
was then thought the troops would
not be withdrawn until he reached
the State capital, SO he might be
present to preserve order as he has
promised. The statu quo being thus
broken, VIC presume the question as
to who are the rightful officers will
soon be settled by the couits. The
result may be considered foregone,
for the courts have already on sew
eral occasions decided in favor of the
validity of the Hampton government.
Within short period, no doubt, en-
tire quiet will have been restored and
the people relieved from further me-
cessity of serving two masters. We
think this result will be satisfactory
to the people Of the country generally
From the first all accounts agreed that
the Hampton State ticket ran far
ahead Of the Til,len Electors, and the
general belief seems to be that
Hampton was fairly elected. A dis
patch of yesterday says Chamberlain
has informed his friends that he will
NOT make any further contest over
the Governorship. He will return to
Columbia, and when the troops are
Withdrawn, he and the other State
officers will retire at the same time,
leaving Hampton in undisputed pos
session.
In Louisiana the condition remains
unchanged. The Commission ap-
pointed by the President have gone
to New Orleans to find way to bring
order out of chaos. We have until
very recently thought Packard would
be the recognized Governor, but his
late defiant and incorporating
attitude has doubtless hurt his cause.
A telegram from Packard Monday
says he will be glad to see the Com
missioners as visitors, but will not
listen to any other terms than those
of unconditional recognition. 1t is
thought ut Washington by some per-
sons that if sufficien. time is allowed
the difficulties In Louisiana will ad-
just themselves, and the question of
the reorganization of the Legislature
will be much less complicated. 1t is
based ON the belief that the colored
members of Packard's Legislature,
seeing the drift Of things, will desert
In such numbers as to give the
Nicholl's Legislature an undisputed
quorum. At this writing, however,
it is difficult to forecast the final re-
suit. Ii considerable portion of
the members of the Packard Legisla-
ture should 60 over to the other side,
of course the aspect Of affairs would
be correspondingly changed. Though
we believe the matter will be settled
within week or two at farthest, and
peace be once more restored in every
part of The land. We have entire con-
6dence in the wisdom and patriotism
of the President.

Territorial.

Articles of incorporation of the May Flower Silver Mining Company have been filed to operate in the Territory of Arizona, with capital seock of S10,eO0,0OO in S10O shares. The directors are A. Chabot, J. A. Lyttle, Walter Van Dyke,J Perschbaker and Chris. Refs.
 FoUR-HoRsE coaches are about to beput on between Silver City and the Clifton copper mines. All that eastern part of Arizona is developing faster than is gener- ally believed on this western border of our Territory. At the next election that sec. ton will hold the balance of power.
 The calendar of the present term of the district court in Pinal county is the largest ever yet made in Arizona. That is good sign. Mines that are rich and numerous always entail litigation.
