DUCKS DYING OCT.

He has spent twenty years, almost continu-
ously, duck hunting on this river, and frequent
~, years ago, stood on 11th street wharf and
thousands OF them In q single mock would allght
all over the river, where now are mats and
marshes. Now it Is seldom that duck can be
scarce even further down, having been absolute
ly murdered and driven out by gunneB In sea-
son and out OF season. During the four years
of the war. while strict embargo was laid on
gunners and river prowlers OF the genus homo,
the ducks became very plentiful, and could be
seen In myriadS at all times, especially In Occo-
with them; now there are none, the gunners
having driven them away. The same state OF
facts respecting ducks was also true Of the Sus-
quehannah river, where they were once scarce
but by a rigid law, giving them rest, they are
now plentiful enough. Both fish and ducks
must be protected by law, to keep up q supply.
keeping up stock without well enforced laws
are sheer nonsense.

takesa boil Of cotton thirty days to

The meanest form of political
lying OF which human nature 10 Cd.
pable is'the following from the New
York Tribune:
''The south says the war isn't over,
and the north will AXE it at its word"
Now, the one thing above all 9th.
ers which the south and the Demo.
Gratis of the north have labored to
establish in the minds Of all the peo-
pie is that the war is over. This
the Tribune knows as we'll as it
knows anything. 1t knows that the
chief fault found by conservative
men against the Republican part, is
the persistency with which that
party has ignored the fact that the
war is over, and insisted upon drag
ging its bloody corpse before the
country as the only hope of keeping
alive the animosities which precipi-
tated the war, and holding the north
in solid array against tbs south.
Sectional hostility, and a universal
pandering to the power of money
and monied corporations are the
two elementsOf Republican strength.
One brings the favor of the com.
mercial classes, the other appeals to
the ignorance and bigotry of the
masses.

INTERVIEWING Mr.. NOBODY
One of the excuses to which the
modern practice of interviewing is
carried consists in printing long in
terviews with people who have no
ideas to express-persons of no ac-
count-persens who could not in any
other way command any considera-
bic space in the columns of news
paper.
1t is amusing to see the aracular
manner i'll which Mr.. Naught de-
clares himself on subjects OF which
he knows just about as much as he
could find out by his own calcula-
tons, of the next eclipse. He talks
blibly where wiser heads would hold
their peace.
A little more discrimination in
selecting persons to be interviewed
would be an evidence of progress in
journalism N. Y. San.

The Reason Why.

General Ewing, the democratic
candidate for governor in Ohio, was
formerly republican, and some OF
the yowlers want to know why he
left that party. His views in 1867,
as presented in the following extract
from a letter written at that time, is
a complete answer:
II want first to know whether
Grant approves the reconstruction
measures, for if he does l cannot
support him. / regard them as mis-
chievons-begot of revenge, misdi-
rected philanthropy aad lust ofpow-
er. l would as soon expect house
to stand on the crater OF a living vol
canO as a state, where whites and
blacks being nearly equal in mum
Der, the whites are prescribed and
the blacks made rulers. Such a
government cannot have the heart
felt sympathy of any large body of
white men anywhere. Blood is
thicker than water, and northern
whites will sympathize with south
ern whites in their struggle to shake
off the incubus of negro rule. To
punish the southern whites for their
treason, the northern people might
possibly for time be willing to af-
fiict them with such governments,
but self interest forbids it. The
north already groans under the pun
ishment now being afflicted on the
south, and mist besides pay for the
whip. The negro governments,
when formed, must be propped by
northern bayonets, and the north
must pay ior the bayonets, and
however costly, they can never safe
~ be withdrawn.
