b. the latest count the present House
of Representatives will stand--149 Dem
ocrats, IA Republicans. The Republi-
cans, remembering the game they played
with fair promises when the Democrats
were being enticed into the High Com
mission Slaughter Pen, think they can
win enough votes from that side to elect
a Republican Speaker. Foster, of Ohio,
(the same man who carried around among
the Southern members, pending the cleo
toral bill, Hayes pledges to make them
stick IS said to be the Republican who
has been centered upon. Washington
correspondents, quoted elsewhere, de-
scribe some of the under-currents that
are at work We beg leave to say now,
as we Sc id when the electoral fraud was
in the process Of incubation, that the
unbought people will not be party
to any arrangement of the kind.
They are all in favor of the Southern
Pacific Railroad down this way. The
measure originated with, and its feasibil-
ity was demonstrated by, MississiPpis

in the Pierce Cabinet, more than twenty
years ago. 1t is national necessity,

longer delayed but they don't want nol

To THE PoIST.-We like the way the
Cincinnati Commercial (Republican)
puts the matter of dealing with the South
ern question. 1t is to take away the bayo-
net props from Packard and Chamber
lain and let the rotten concerns, of which
they are the fgureheads, go down:
Gas nearly rs we can make out, that the
great interests OF the general public can
bot be served by maintaining the Republic

and Louisiana, any longer at the point of
The b4yonet.'
And he adds:
THE Republican party might maintain
Itself for year or two in the disputed States
BY military force, ut the cost. perhaps of
half a dozen States elsewhere Let the
Cham berlain and Packard State govern

1t is asserted chat several members of the
Democratic Legislature of Mississippi were
not on duty exceeding five days during the
late session, but they nevertheless, claimed
and received $500 each-$l00 per day. Those
great reformers who have answered to roll
call every morning, were paid at the rate OF
a little leo than $50 per day for their valua-
bic services.-JacksOn Times.
This is every word true, though it is
very severe reflection on the Legislature.
However, the Radical thieves made the law
hen they were in power. OF course, this
covers the Democratic salary grab. We
make this excuse for the Democrats. because
it is the only one that can be made. 1t
a mean law made by Republicans -Vicks-
burg Herald.
The assertion of the Times is a vague
statement, unsupported by specification
or proof, and the deductions are therefore
baseless. The law fixing yearly salary
in place of per diem, is copied from the
example of the United States Congress
which pays its members So, 900 per an
mum, Notwithstanding there are but three
months service in off years (unless
an extra session is called, which is rarely
the case). The custom which prevailed
ia the purer and better era of the Re
public of regulating compensation by the
time actually engaged in the public SER
vice, is the only just and fair method.

The primo secret of successful oyster-breed-
ing lies, rs already noted, in capturing the
youug ragraut just at the time the character Of
tleir life changes. In this it will not do to
trust to Nature alone,-in other words, to ac-
ciLcnt. Nature fails too frequently; SO Art
steps in aud makes sure that tue conditions
under which Nature succeeds are uniformly
secured at the critical moinbnt.
The uystcr-far1ner's work falls naturally into
two parts. During the cooler mouths he is
chiefly engayed in harvesting mis- crop and pre-
pairing it fur market. AS warm weather APP
pru4cncs, be begins the more specific work of
making ready for the spawning season. As tic
oyster requires from thrce to i've years to
mature. il Is evident that the grounds OF any
extensive grower will present beds of oysters
in various stages Of Development, with other
areas from which the nalurea crop has just
been gathered. In no case, however, will
the oysters of any bed be OF absolutely uniform
us-e. It would be q prontless task to take All
ttlc oysters from Il field, anu there is geuerai1y
IN abundance left after crop has been gathered
to su,.lly any desired amount Of spawn, In case
the ground should br wanted for breeding pur-
poses.
AS the work Of gathering for market slackens

oysters Which haye settled into the mud during

broken up for transplantint. to thinner beds;

The propaeating beds receive very different
treatment. On these there will be few old
