The Run Of Fish.

The people OF New England are disturbed
on the fish question. Communities on
the upper parts of rivers have been dis
custcd with the small amount Of arrivals
from the saltwater. They have assembled
to welcome the nobility amongst the run
ming tish-those broad, silVer-sided shad
whose increase through the labors OF fish
culture they had reason to believe would
become so numerous as to give plentiful
supply to those on the upper waters as well
as those nearer the sea. But their disap-
pointment has been great, and they are
complaining very loudly about it.
SETH GREEN-wbo knows what's the mat
ter-endeavors to help them out as well as
he can, and advises that they s. make close
time of three days III each week" This
would give the fish a chance to ascend to
their spawning-ground, and, he says, there
would be "ten times" as many fish Matched
and every State would get its share.
SETH knows, however, that the pound
nets obstruct the run in most OF the waters
OF the country. Whether they are permit
ted in New England or not we do not
know. But the increase in the supply OF
fish has caused a great increase in the means
OF capturing them and the close period each
week is rendered necessary to give the peo-
pie all along the rivers fair chance.
In Virginia we have Just begun, as it
were, to stock our rivers, and we should see
that our measures for protection of fish shall
60 along with our processes of fish-culture.
We know our greatest enemy to be the
pound or purse-nets. 1t would seem that
IsHMAEL had returned to this world to con-
tinue his widespread hostility, and had taken
to purse-seines as the means OF iniurins
more people and provoking more hate than
anything else. AS IsHMAEL would naturally
resort to the purse-seine as his fittest instru'
ment OF wrong. the hostility Of all people
should be concentrated upon that seine
We trust to see the day, and that soon
when it will be finally and permanently
prohibited in our waters.
It is gratifying that fsh-culture is causing
such widespread interest. 1t shows that
people in all sections are beginning to ap
preciate its importance.

Sa.;on 81 The recent opinion Of the Court OF
Appeals that the sentiment IN that opinion
quoted By Judge STAPLES in his dissenting
optnfon and approved by him was COM n
nlete moral code In itself. We think proper
30 renroduce this as the UNANIMOUS OPINION ION
or TEE CouRT OF APPEALS, We copy II
below from Judge sTAPLEss dissenting
opinion:
LET me SAY, In conclusion, concur now,
s,as T. tlid then, with Judge CHRISTIAN IN
sswhat he said in the homestead cases tue
ssinsiolabiiity Of contracts, public and prl-
ssyate, is the foundation Of oil social pro.
.gress, and the cornerstone OF all forms s'' OF
q society wherever enlightened surispru-
af,ence prevails, and concur with him
s.now in what he has said on that subject.
g Good faiti, is essential in States as vel! as
ssin individuals neither can be Just or per
.smanently prosperous without 1t. opon
% that subject my own voice, feeble as it's,
scan never have any uncertain sound"
People OF Virginia, emulate the virtue OF
the court OF last resort in the adminlstra-
ton OF Justice in Virginia. Adopt this
sound code Of morals in your private ana
public duties. and it cannot follow that you
shall be false to either private or public OBJ
lirations. Adopt this high aud pure mora'
code, and peace will comewith healing upon
her wings and give ease and serenity to the
public mind. Agitation will be dead, and
the private and public conscience will he
purged OF all anxiety, OF all doubts, and OF
all qualms which must arise in every honest
mind when there is a doubt as to the JUS
ice of measure that mind may bave con-
niyed at or supported.
This moral rule, generally observed,
would not only end the whole agitation
about the public debt, but no :.'iorcible re-
adiuster'' would ever again shoWshis head
above the surface. The State would De al
peace, and would begin anew her career 0,
prosperity and contentment. Every citizen
would be proud OF Old Virginia.
