The ADMINISTRATION AND THE
CONSERVATIVE ORGANIZATION IN VIR-
GINIA.-Under this head the Richmond
Wing discusses the aspect of political
affairs, and concludes with the follow
ing sensible advice, which every Con-
sentative should take to heart: "Mr.
Hayes may continue the evil course OF
Mr.. Grant. He may prove vindictive
in his temper toward the South, and
partial and sectional in his views as to
the administration Of the Government;
or he may not do as Mr.. Grant did. He
may mean to show to the world that as
patriot he can rise above the partisan );
that as the chief of a great government
he is capable of putting all prejudice
behind him; that he has head as well
as q heart of his own, and that in cour-
age and resolution, as well as in wishes,
he can and will prove equal to the brave
duties devolved on him, whether he
shall stand or fall before his party in his
efforts to discharge them.
But whatever Mr.. Hayes may mean
to do, it behooves Virginia and Virgin
ians to stand steadily and firmly by our
own Conservative organization. 1t has
been the salvation Of our State. And
we must cherish it and uphold it and
maintain it in all its purity and power,
or we will rue the day of our departure
from it. This grand old Commonwealth
is the first object of our affections. Let
US hold up the party that has held up
Virginia. No matter what the new
President may do or decline to do for
the South in her troubles, Virginia s
vestal lights on the affairs of her glorious
Conservative party must be kept burn
ing as brightly as ever"
VIRGINIA FISH LAw.-The Legisla.
ture of Virginia has recently passed an
act to prevent the de.truction and to pro-
mote the multiplication of fish in the
streams this State. 1t provides that
during the next six years no fish shall
be caught otherwise than by angling in
any streams above tidewater. 1t is made
unlawful to take noun tain trout between
September Is and April by any pro-
cess whatever, and at other periods only
by angling-a similar provision apply
ing to sblack bass between May Is and
July of each year. Possession Of these
fish within the prohibited periods to be
prima facie evidence Of violation of the
law. The penalty for infraction of the
law is fixed at fine in each case of S2(
and imprisonment until the fine be
paid. The offender is also to forfeit his
boats, nets, or other illegal contrivances
in such taking of fish. The act is no "
in force.
