The soldier did not wait to see that ahe

that he had been guilty of wanton

Years after. when discharged from the

He took apublic house in Bridgegate,

Very soon after he saw his wife comb

The next witness called was Mr..

seasons. During this season the fish is
soft. loses its color. and is unfit to eat.
From June to October, salmon is unfit
to eat. / do not think that the Spring
run and the Fall run are two distinct

Mr.. Ryan. of Rio Vista, who
had been engaged in the salmon
catching business, also did not believe
that the fish was suitable food during
the spawning season. ...
Mr.. Brown, who is interested in the
cannery business on the SaDsmento,

way, but thought two months time
during the spawning season was suffi-

Congress- Yesterday.

In the United States Senate, yesterday,
Mr.. Hereford introduced a bill to cancel
certain contracts for the sale of certain
lots at Harper's Ferry, w. Va, in 1869,
by the United States, and to sell or lease
the other real estate then owned by the
government. The bill amending the laws
granting pensions to the soldiers and
sal lors of the war of 1872 and their wild
ows was adopted after debate the bill
restores to the list the names of those
stricken therefroln on account Of disloy-
atty.
In the House, the reports of the COM
mittee on election in the case of Ackiin
VS.. Darrell, from the fourth Louisiana
district, were called up, the majority re-
port being in favor of Acklin, democrat,
contestant, and the minority being in
favor OF Darrell, republican, sitting mem.
ber, and Mr.. Harris spoke IN favor OF
the majority report. Mr.. Hale then took
the floor and denounced the prosecution
of the Louisiana returning board, and
charged that the prosecution had its
handspring elsewhere. He also claimed
that the President was learning now the
lesson of misplaced confidence. Mr.
Garfield spoke in the same strain, whilst
Messrs. Gibson, of La, and Clymer, OF
Pa, contended that there had been nc
breach of good faith on the part of Gov
Nichols or the democrats of Louisiana
and denied that there had been COM
pact for immunity from crime.
