Capturing q Sea Lion.

On Thursday afternoon, while Mr..
John NJ. Stone was down the river tend
ing his fish nets, he discovered in the
meshes of his seine large fish, which at
first he took to be a bass, but which
proved to he specie Of the seal kind,
called the sea lion. Mr.. Stone was alone
and the sea being rough, he experienced
some difficulty in securing his prey, but
few we'll directed blows on the head
produced suspension of life, and he
was brought to town and is on exhibition
at the fish market on Thames street, at
tracing much curiosity. The sea lion is
covered with thick coat of soft gray
hair or fir, and measures 80 inches in
length and 341a inches around the body,
weighing 115 pounds. The head aud
face resembles that of cat, and its hind
flippers those of fish, the tail protrud-
ing about four inches from the body, and
appears to he we'll fitted for both land
and water. The sea lion was taken of
the coast point Of Popposquash in about
two fathoms of water, and twenty rods
from the shore. These animals or fish
are generally found with the seal and are
very formidable foe to contend with.
Several Of our citizens, who are scquaint-
ed with the seal fisheries, pronounce this
to be genuine specimen of the sea lion
and quite young. as they generally attain
a large size and weigh from 1000 to t.
500 pounds. Mr.. Stope intends pre-
serving the skin and the blubber will be
converted into oil.-Pr0uidence Or. ~

A GLORIOUS LITTLE WOMAN.-Some
five years since Harry Odgers, a miner
from Truro, Cornwall, England, arrived
in this locality. Before leaving home he
loved a certain little lass, the only daugh-
ter of an inn-keeper, to whom he pro-
posed marriage, but was rejected. Two
years ago, Harry, who was employed at
the Delaware mine, met with an accident
by which he lost his eyesight. The news
of his terrible misfortune didn't reach the
ears of his Truro sweetheart until quite
recently. She thought of the man who
once told her he loved her aud her wom-
ans heart softeped. She wrote to q
friend in Keweenaw County, and in time
got a history of his condition and the sad
plight he was in on the distant shore Of
Lake Superior. The other evening u
quiet little woman arrived On the stage
from L'Anse. and before many hours she

Cipher kilograms.

Cipher kilograms were used during the
Presidential contest by the managers of
both political parties. Of course, the OBJ
ject was to prevent all persons from un-
derstanding the kilograms save those to
whom they were sent. The cipher de-
vice is frequently used in business mes
sages, and is not difficult to construct.
The method of constructing the cipher
used by certain political managers is thus
explained:
1t was what is called Dictionary
telegram" being based upon a particu-
lar dictionary selected by the senders and
receivers of the kilograms. The tele-
grams, when written, would seem to be
tumble If disconnected words; hut they
were interpreted in this way: The mes
sage was first plainly written. Suppose,
for instance, il read, I'VE want more
money" Instead of sending the dispatch
in these words, however, the sender would
begin With the word I'VE" finding its To-
caliiy In the dictionary agreed upon. He
would thea turn TEN pages il advance,
and find the word in corresponding col
gmn and IN q corresponding locality

the State officers very extreme case we
meet with errors almost equally gross in the
newspapers almost every day. The sincere
friends of the President seem unable to appre-
cinte the sound and safe Interpretation which
he places upon his powers; they persist Ill
discussing his Southern "policy" as II IL
rested upon nothing better than his personal
judgment of expediency-ls If it lay III his
discretion to determine whether the Southern
States should govern themselves or be gov
erned by him. When Senator Morton under
took to defend the course OF Mr.. Hayes he
ignored the constitutional principle ana Jlstilicd
the non-intcrventlOn policy upon the ground
that circumstances had made any other course
impracticable. Other supporters of the Ad-
ministration are begging the people to wait
and give the new experiment" fair trlai,
and meanwhile they anxiOusly exh0rt Hamp-
ton and Nichols to behave their very best
and Justify the confidence which the President
has placed in them. "Whe there are appre-
tensions felt" said an able Republican jour
nal the other day, "that the South VIII not
"make the wisest Use of its entire political
" freedom, there is IA willingness TO try the
experiment"
There we have the prevailing error OF tho
time in three words" Try the experiment..
Restoring ~ the States their entire pohticai
" freedom which has been wrongfully Kept
from them is not an experiment, ana whether
they are likely to make good use OF IL or not
the duty of restoration remains the same. we
hope that Just and prudent counsels VIII pre-
vail in the South although we must he pre-
pared for occasional disorders like the DE kalb
assassna,ions, and for a general agreement
among the white people to keep the negroes
out of politics. But whatever use the South
NAV make of its entire political free
dom, it is nevertheless the duty OF
the President to confine himself to his
constitutional functions and apportlon the
measure of Federal interference in State al
fans not by what he may think advantageous
TO the Republican party, but by the extent OF
his legitimate authority. Recent decisions OF
the Supreme Court have done a great deal to
clear away the confusion generated by the wan
and by that inevitable tendency toward des-
potic measures which marks a period OF civil
armed contest. The President has gone for
ward courngeously in the direction previously
pointed out by the court and whatever may
be the consequence to himself, be has done a
great service to the country in calling 1t back
to the true American theory OF government,
and aIresting movement toward centTallza-
ton which must have resulted in the most Sc
rous organic changes.

"AN FYPFRIuENTp

II is sixteen years since the outbreak Of the
rebellion dspelled in the rude shock of arms
the distinction between Federal and State au-
tbority which was once thought to be the
most characteristic and most important fea-
ture of American republicanism. While the
Union was batting for its existence patriotic
citizens were in no humor to split hairs with
constitutional theorists; but whatever power
the General Government needed for such a
crisis it made no scruple in assuming, and we
all stood by it Loyalty. After the war came
reconstruction, and the Centlalzing tendencies
were still encouraged, as we had to
discharge new responsibilities and confront
new dangers To-day, with reconstruction
accomplished, the Southern States restored
10 their normal relations with the Union. and
the harsh feelings OF war time rapidly diSap-
nearing, we attempt To return to strict constl-
tutiopal methods, and to our surprise we find
that large proportion of the people have en-
tircly forgotten certain political truths when
only little while ago were accepted as axloms.
But the truth is, sixteen years OF such change
az we have witnessed, and among people
such as ours, constitute an age. Nearly all the
men who directed public events and influenced
opinion before the war have passed from the
stage; our active political constituencies are
composed OF ;he later generations who
formed their ideas Of government iii the
midH of the smoke of battle, or who have
come 10 mans estate since it became the
labit Of the Federal Government to establish
IL adherents By force in the Southern state
capit0s and send it, troops to supervise State
elections, aud since a believer in state Rights
has been popularity regarded as synonymous
with Copperhead. These younger men are
the leaders Of American opinion to-day, and
they naturally show the influence Of the school
in which they have been Brought up.
There could not De Il better illustration Of
the great change which has taken place in
popular ideas than note from correspond
ent III Ohio, published in The TRIBUNE last
Saturday. We know nothing Of the writer ex-
cept that his occupation creates presumption
that he is a man of intelligence and general
information; but we find him asking seriously
why General Government which has au-
thority to defend the Mexican frontier against
foreign malauders does not assert the power
to punish murderers in Mississippi, and he in
quires, evidently with the impression TINT he
has given President Hayes "a posef, whether
"Texas cattle are more valuable under the
"'policy' than Republicans" Nor is this hopeless
confusion between the international duties Of
the Federal Executive and the police duties OF

LOTTERIES IND TIE Wis.

A decision of Judge Blatchford in the Dis
trict Court sustains the cOnstltutonailty OF
the act of Congress excluding from the United
States mails letters or circulars concerning lot
ferries Gift concerts and similar enterprises. One
Jackson, who is an agent for the Havana,
Kentucky, and other lotteries, was arrested for
violation of this law. AS he was held to
answer. his counsel, Judge Dittenhoefer. took
out writ of habeas corpus and brought HIM
before Judge Batchford. The ground taken
for his release was that constitut0naly Con-
grcss had no right to exclude any sealed letter
from the mails, whatever might be It's con
tents. Judge Blatchf0rd, however, in his de-
cison, took an entirely opposite view OF the
question, holding that as Congress had the
power to establish post-0iiices and post-roads,
it had also a right to determine what it will
and what it will not carry. So the prisoner
took nothing by his habeas corpus, and was
remanded to custody.
We suppose that a similar decision might
have been arrived at upon grounds of public
policy. 1t is evident that if the PostOtlce
Department is under obligation to carry any
thing and everything which may be rendered
to it with a request for transportation i'll a
sealed package, it may be made the agent of
many undertakings avOwedly criminal. Lot
tcnes may or may not be adverse to good
morals, but Congress has expressed the opin-
ion that they are and has done what it could
to prohibit. them. We do not see why the
argument for tho defendant in the case above
referred to might not be employed to save
one posting obscene literature from richly
merted punishment. The rule discriminating
against lottery matter Is made because lot
teries are held to promote bad habits, and
purchasing them tends to impOverish the pur-
chascrs.
Again, many States have by statute prohib-
tied lotteries and the sale of lottery tickets.
The law, however, is utterly inefficient, If
traders in such tickets may, through the me-
dunn Of the mail, carry on their business here
in New-York almost as effectively as if they
were permitted to open shops here for the
purpose. We are fully aware that great abuses
might result from any loose construction of
the Constitution respecting the right OF the
Government To control the mails. The matter
is therefore properly to be referred to the
representatives. of the people in Congress
assembled. If they commit any error or are
guilty of any oppression the remedy is Ill the
hands of the people, who will be prompt to
apply it, OF power unduly and Illegally exer-
cised by the Post-Oflice they would be prop
erly jealous, but in thi, case there has been
nothing done which IA majority of the States
and of their people would not approve
