the latter date comparatively little had been
accomplished towards the capture of Rich
nond, Though reckoning the losses Of the
Ninth Corps and the Army Of the James, more
than 100000 men had been put hOrs de combat.
There Is one other point which should not
pass 1ncrttcized. Cen. Grant says:
The South and North were more nearly
matched than you would suppose. The whole
population were in the war. The 100000 of
negroes were the same as soldiers because
they did the work in the fields which
white men would have to do. / believe the
South had as many men under arms as the
North. What defeated the Southern arms
was 5tS Northern courage and skill, and this too,
with detraCtiOn all around"
1t Is not easy to believe that the ex-Presi-
dent talked such nonsense as this. The whole
slave population, men, women and children,
are reckoned as equivalent to Southern SOL
diers, although We had in our service 18G,097
colored troops, which must have constituted
the chief fighting material of the negro popu-
lation. In the first year Of the war, when
July |, 1861 the North had only tsG, ,751 men
in the field, it Is probable that the Southern
armies were not Outnumbered They may
have held their own for some time after
ward, though our forces increased steadily
and rapidly all the time; but it is simply ab-
surd to suppose that the rebels equaled us
in the field in the spring of 1866, when we had
1,O0O,516 men under arms. If Gen Grants
reporter had taken ths pains to read that
gentllenan's celebrated dispatch about the
efforts Of the rebels to recruit by robbinp the
cradle and the grave he would not have put
such nonsense into print The suppression Of
the rebellion was such q great task and SO
gallantly performed that we can afford to tell
the simple truth about it. These exaggera-
tions do not sound like the Grant of old times.

A Case for Jndge Lynch.

NEW YORK, July 2s.-The Times to-day gives
an account of the seizure, robbery and outrag-
ing of a very wealthy and respectable newly
married lady of Boston, who had been on a
visit in the interior of the State and started via
the New York Central Railroad, expecting to
reach Albany, where her husband was to meet
her. Towards evening she changed ears at
Rome, and noticed that two men got on the
train with her, and seated themselves near
her, and by their glances and gestures seemed
to have her under discussion. There was
nothing unusually suspicious in their appear
anee. The men were middle-aged, neatly and
soberly dressed and had an air of respectable
ity. Very soon the conductor of the drawing
room car came through and she was on the
point of paying him the extra price-she had
secured a through hticket-when one of the two
men said, quietly: EDO not take that ladv's
fare; she. is in our, charge; we will pay for
her." and informed the conductor that she
was insane and that they were taking her to
the State asylum at Utica.
Despite her protestations and prayers that
she was not insane and did not know these
men, the conductor and passengers allowed
these villains to take the lady off the train at
Utica Here she was placed in q carriage,
chloroformed and taken toa house on the out

FISH HATCHING.
A New Process Which Beats seth Green g
The sen To EEe Rennnr,Iateh.

WASHINGTON, July 15.-PrOf Baird, secre-
tary Of the Smithsonian Institution, proposes
TO carry on more effectively the operations of
Matching fish The method devised O. few
years ago by Seth Green Of Matching spawn
in boxes with wire gauze bottoms set in the
current OF streams, has during the past year
been abandoned. An improved process has
been substituted, OF suspending the spawn
in a great number of buckets attached to
RATS, and Of gently and regularly tipping
them by means OF steam machinery, thus
dispensing with the necessity OF currents,
and enabling the Matching to go on in the
open sea.
By this improved process the commission
has in the past year hatched 25,0O0,O0O of
Shad, where as it Is said by Prof. Baird, the
utmost number that could have been obtained
by the old method would have been 100000.
The possession by the Fish Commission Of q
steamer to tow its Matching RATS at pleasure
from one place to another will, it IS thought
by the commission, increase It's facility of
work to such an extent as to enable it to hatch
fish artitiCally in unlimited numbers. Ex-
perimentS with other kinds of fish indicate
that the process can be applied with equal
success to the Matching of the eggs Of salmon
and Of several species of valuable sea fish, eS-
pecially OF cod, maCkerel and sea bass. The
Norwegian government has artifiCially inn
pregnated the eggs Of the cod, and the Smith
sOnian Institution has procured from Norway
specimens Of those eggs and young fish up to
six weeks old.
The artificial reproduction Of the cod, Pro-
fessor Baird asserts, can be carried on with
even greater facility than that of shad, since
an average Goldfish will furnish 1,OOO,O 200 eggs,
while the Shad furnishes only $4,000. SO that
If 100 spawning fish could be procured, there
would be hatched from them 1O0,0OOOOO of
young fish, and the sea would be rapidly filled
with them, along the whole Atlantic coast,
from Newfoundland to Florida. In this man
ner the hardships now endured by fishermen
in fishing in the cold climates off the north
ern coasts would be relieved by their being
enabled to fish at pleasure in more southern
waters. From experiments made by the COM
mission, it has been discovered that sea-bass
also can be enormously reproduced.
