FIsH.-The Shasta Courier of last
week says: U. S. Fish Commissioner
Bird intends to send 100000, young
shad to California in the Spring. The
young fish will be placed in the Sacra-
mento at different points between Sacra-
mento and Reading, and it is thought
that this number, in addition to the 150,-
600 previously deposited in the river, will
be sufficient to stock all the streams in
the State. We are informed that the
California f,h Commissioners have made
arrangements with Myron Green, of
Lower Soda Springs in this county, to
collect and articially hatch out a large
quantity Of trout eggs next Spring with
the view ofrestocking some of the streams
that have been exhausted Of their natural
supply Of this favorite fish.

THE ELECTORAL CoUNT.-The count
ing Of the Electoral vote began in Con-
gress on the Ist inst, as directed by the
terms ofthe Electoral bill. Everything
progressed smoothly until the State OF
Florida was called, when the battle of
parties began. At this present writing
the votes of that State are before the
Commission, and upon the disposition of
the Florida vote the Presidential Election
may be said in n great measure to hinge.
in the event of the vote Of Florida being
counted for Tilden, it would elect him
President, while ifi be counted for Hay
e.. the principle involved in the count
will have n bearing upon the similar
cases Of the States of Louisiana and South
Carolina.
At latest advioes the Commission was
engaged in hearing arguments upon the
subject Of the admission Of testimony in
regard to the manner in which tie cleo
tion was conducted and count of votes
made by the Florida Returning Board.
Upon the ruling on this question will de-
pend the prospect of p speedy solution of
the matter. II the Commission decides
10 hear evidence upon these points there
is no knowing how much evidence will
he adduced on each side, the sitting of
the Commission may be protractcd until
n late dny. We cannot, of course, more
than speculate what the decision may be,
but to us it looks as if the duty Of the
Commission, under the bill creating it, is
simply to decide whether the officers en-
trusted with canvassihg and certifying
the votes Of the disputed States have per-
formed their duties according to law. If
they have followed the spirit of the laws
under which they acted, it strikes us that
the Commission will accept their acts, as
official duties performed in good faith
Ifthey have violated the laws their re-
turns should be rejected.
There may be further intelligence re-
gsrdng the doings of the Commission
before We 60 to press. II there be we
will endcayor to give synopsis Of it..
LATER. R.-Since the above was put in
type, we have received the Sacramento
Bee Of Wednesday afternoon, which is
She latest intelligence at the time Of go
ing to press, and contains the following
dispatches from Washington, Feb. 7th ::
"The Electoral Commission, which
met this morning at 10 O'clock, are at this
hour Q:30) still il secret session."
"rhe Electoral Committee bya vote of
To 7 decided that the Commission can
not go behind the returns, but can in
quire into the ineligibility Of Presiden-
tial Electors"
The Electoral Commission by n vote
OF eight against seven have decided that
10 evidence can be admitted or consider
ed by them in the Florida case except the
various Electoral certificates and such
evidence MS shall be submitted on the
question of the eligibility Of Humphreys
as Il Presidential Elector.n
The decisions as above announced will
# course be adhered to in all other dis
puted States, and ms they strongly sup
port the grounds taken by Republicans,
we opine it will not be many days until
the Presidential question is decided and
Hayes declared elected. 'Ror for Hayes.

DAVID DUDLEY FIELD is exhibiting
an immense amount of "cheek" in his
so-far vain endeavors to intimidate Gov.
Wells of the Louisiana Returning Board,
and further seems to be greatly alarmed
at the prospect Of being "bull-dosed" by
said Wells, who boldly asserted, in face
Of the Democratic Committee his ability
to defend himself elsewhere. Upon
Fields suggestion, the Sergeont-at-Arms
relieved Gov. Wells Of his little pistol.
1t is particularly unfortunate in the pres
ent crisis that Benjamin T. Butler, of
Massachusetts,, does not occupy place on
that Investigating Committee.
