SOUTH CAROLINA TO BE FREED
Hayes Order to the Secretary OF
War.


ExecUrIvR MANSION, Washington, d.
c., April 3, 1877-SIR; Prior to my en-
tering upon the duties Of the Presidency ;
there had been stationed, By order of
nv predecessor. in the State House at
Columbia, S. c., detachment OF United
States Infantry. Finding them ia that
place, have thought proper to delay the
decision of the question of their remoV-
al uutil I could consider and determine
whether the condition of aflirs 10 that
State is now such as to either require or
iustify q continued military occupation
of the State House. In my opinion
there does not row exist in that State
such domestic violence as Is contem-
plated by the Constitution as gronno
unon which the military power OF the
national Governmant may bs invoked Tor
the defense of the State. There are, 1t
Is true, grave and serious disputes as TO
the rights of certain claimlnts to the
chief executive Office of that State, but
these are to be settled and determined
not by the executive of the United States,
but by such orderly and peaoeabls
methods as may bo provided By the Con
stitu.ion and laws of the State. | feel
assured no resort to violence is contem-
nlatsd in that quarter, but on the Goa
trary disputes in question are to be set
tied solely by such peaceful rcmsdies as
ths Ooustitutioa ani Law of the State
provide.
Under these circumstances, aad in this
confidence, now deem it proper to take
action, in accordance with the principles
announced when entered upon the du-
ties Of the Presidency. You are there
fore directed to see that proper orders
are issued for the removal of said troops
from the State house to their previols

4 Description OF the "Eula-
chOn.''
OR THE GREASE FISH" OR CANDLE FISH"
OF THE NORTH


This valuable fish known in science as
the "Thaeichthys Paclticus," resembles
common smelt in size and general APP.
pearance, but differs from it in an i'm
portant particular for, while the smelt is
a dry meAtcd fish, almost entirely de
void of fat, the Eulachon through its en-
tire body from head to tail. is permeated
by fatty substance which when extract
ed, coos at high temperature and re-
sembles lard. This is largely consumed
by the northern tribes who use it, AS the
whites use butter or lard tor domestic
purposes.
To Sir John Richardson's account of
Eulachon, but little can be added. They
formerly entered the Columbia river in
great numbers, and were equally abund-
ant in Puget Sound. AT present, al
though sparingly found in the waters
named, they cannot be considered as
occurring in large numbers south or east
of the southern end OF Vancouver Island;
Fraser's river being the most southerly
point where they are taken. In that
locality they are very abundant at certain
periods, but nearly always a season Of
abundance is followed by three or four
years OF scarcity. Further northward
they are constantly abundant, but the
principal fishing is ut the Mas river
which empties into Portland Inlet near
the boundary line between British Co.
lumbia and Sitka, in lat. 55 north, and
distant from Fort Simpson some 35 or 4O
miles. For some unknown reason, the
Eulachnn give the Mas river the prefer.
ence over all the other streams, as their
spawning ground, and to the fishing
stations at the mouth OF Mas river, not
only the Indians of the immediate yicin-
ity, but from villages more than one
hundred miles distant, come in great
numbers and remain during the fishing
season, which usually commences in the
later part ot AlDrcb, at which time the
largest and hest run is taken, and again
at tile end Of June, which is fur inferior
bolh IN quantity of fish and quality OF
grease.
Tue Eulachon only travel up the Naas
rivr Us Tar rs the food tides reach,
which is from 15 to 20 miles from its
mouth. For about z miles from Mas
straits, the river is unsuitable for fishing
operations. From thence to the Mas
villages at the head OF tide water is ii
succession of sand.bars and these ioim
the spawning beds of the fish. Every
available spot along the banks of the
river is occupied by tile Indians during
the fishing season, who erect temporary
wigwams tor themselves. As the fishing
season approaches, the arrival OF the fish

BODY FUUND.--grom a private letter
dated Lewiston, Sep. nth, it is learned
that on the 10Th of Sept. the body OF DR.
j. A. Going WAS found in SNAKE river
near the mouth of AIpowai creek. II

ed down stream fully 90 miles to the
place where found. His remuins were
properly buried by kind friends in
Lewiston, and the place OF their repose
marked Dee.

DROWNED BY A DEVIL FIsH.-An In
dian woman, while bathing at Victoria

the bottom of the hay, in the embrace
Of the monster Indians dove down,
and with their knives, severed the ten
tacles of the Octopus and rescued the
body. This is the first recorded instance
Of death from such q cause in that local
ity, but there have been several narrow

stuck a row OF wooden pins or pieces of
