Menhaden Fishing.

The Menhaden Oil business in Maine is about
the same in August as it was in July The fisher
men report that i'll June a large school of Mcnha
den made their appearance, and during that month
there was a good prospect of large catch for the
whole season; but about the first Of July large
school Of Albicores," or as some call them Bart
coutcrS, made then appearance on the usual feed
ing ground Of the Menhaden driving the latter in
to the rivers and bays, from Gloucester to Mt. De
Sert The result was, plenty Of fish but of poor
quality and small size. This affects the fishing i'll
terest in two ways; it affects the factories on &C
count of poor quality and the fishermen because
Their selnes are made expressly to take fish off
shore, and in trying to take them close to land
they destroy their scines. One steamer destroyed
five seines in as many days, and caught less than
one hundred barrels, although they estimated that
they surrounded five thousand barrels during the
five days.
and weighs about thirty pounds they called
by the fishermen, .butchers." from their savage
manner of destroying Menhaden and Mackerel.
Capt. De Bois, of South Bristol, Me-, says that
nine years ago he found Albicores on the same
ground where they are this year and that not
Menhaden seen while they We're present He
then came to the conclusion that Maine not
safe place to continue the Menhaden Oil business
in, and taking down his factories, he removed his
whole business to Virginia. The next year the
Menhaden made their appearance off Maine and
were plenty from that time until 1876 but during
this time the Albicores absent. Knowing
the above facts, 1t is the universal opinion OF the
Menhaden fishing interest, that this poor is
not owing to scarcity of fish, but because they
are driven from their usual feeding grounds
The above comes to us in slip, with Il
request to publish. The facts it relates,
if they be facts, are interesting. But the
whole is tinged by suspicion that the
present operators in the menhaden bust
ness are making good thing of it, and
want to keep out competition by repre-
senting the business as failure We
don't charge anything for the opinion,
but we believe it to be correct

The Election.

The result Of the election on last Mon
day can be told in a few words. Conner
is reelected by from seven to eight thou
sand majority Out Of the sixteen coun-
ties the Democrats carry Knox and Lin
coin, and possibly Cumberland; all the
rest are Republican.
This was not unlocked for, by those
who were in a position to sean the field
with GOODNESS and calculation. 1t was
known that Senator Blaine, in the pecu-
liar state of politics in the state and ma
ton, would not permit the fortunes of the
party TO wane in his own state, if it were
possible to prevent it, after the deter
mined opposition Of the Republican state
convention to the course pursued by the
President. So his efforts as an organizer
We're put forth with determination that
the party should do its best. But the
situation was one of extreme peril to the
Republicans had the Democratic party
possessed the perception, the tact and
the courage to use the opportunity. A
large portion of the Republican party
were in open revolt against Blaine, and in
favor OF supporting the President-Were
feeling outraged and indignant that no
resolution of support or even confidence
had been permitted to pass the state
that this opportunity was not improved.
There Was every reason why it should
have been. The President was sQuarely
and immovably on Democratic ground as
the only living question that existed be-
tween the parties when he came into pow
er. He was complimented, endorsed and
supported in the South, where the great
strength of the party resides. There was
never an opportunity more invitingly pre-
sented-thcre was never one more fool
lshly irittered away and lost.
The State Convention did it's work well.
But scarcely had they adjourned when
the miserable rum issue, which the Con-
vention had put its foot upon, was revived
to create disorder and division. The very
proper and discreet acceptance of Mr..
Williams was assaulted and hOWled over
by the Bangor Commercial, to the disgust
of Democrats and the delight of Blaine.
No man in Maine ever did better service
for Blaine than has the editor of the Ban
%or Commercial in the last four weeks.
Quotations from its columns have delight
ed and filled the columns of the Republi-
can papers. Any one can imagine Blaine
behind the curtain, rubbing his hands
and laughing to see a hitherto Democratic
paper 50 acceptably playing into his hands.
All this time the Republican organiza-
ton was being perfected, with discipline
and vigor that made the most perfect con-
tlast to the condition Of the Democracy.
This is a brief history of the recent cleo
tion-the recital of what might have been,
and what is. Comment would be super
tiuous.

netting Out Justice.

We publish to-day accounts of the in
dictment at the Court Of General Sessions
in session at Columbia, of the batch of
official thieves who for so many years
robbed with impunity the people of South
Carolina. Every honest man in the coun-
try will rejoice at it, and pray that JUS
tice may be swift and thorough Speak
ing of that and other instances in which
well laid schemes have been overthrow,

retributive justice impends over the Re

party friends in Oregon that he was cog

Morton set that inquiry upon foot to
weaken the power of Senator Grover in

necessary to procure the vilest perjury.
and so apparent was the fraud that it
broke from it's own weight, had to be
abandoned and now returns to plague its
inventors. Not charge was sustained
by any respectable authority, and the in
vestigatiOn was abandoned in the very
middle of its progress. And now that it
has failed we are having an inside view

position of the Republican papers which
speak of the punishment of these scoun-

government of South Carolina will be
grossly untrue to its trust if it fail to push
