THE occupation of politician is pleas
ing one in any quarter of the world, as
witness the nice little episodes at Yazoo
City, Mississippi, and San Francisco, CAL
ifornia. An election for members of the
Legislature was held recently at Pan
anna and appears to have been about as
lively as Donnybrook fair. The oppo-
sition to the present Government party
hit upon the neat expedient of stealing
the ballot boxes, in order, doubtless, to
preserve the purity of the elective fran
chise. The administration partisans
went them one better as the poker play
ers would say, and met the patriots with
a fusilade from their revolvers, by which
the ballot box stealers were routed. A
black politician named Casimiro de la
Flor announced his intention to kill all
and singular that opposed his political
views and candidacy, whereupon the
sovereigns placed the gentleman in the
stocks, and when that failed to repress
his enthusiasm they secured their own
peace by hacking their Flor, that is to
say flower of chivalry, in pieces Vive

IT is stated in the New York Sun that
the Fish Commission of that State "have
turned into the Hudson River this sea-
son upwards of 6,500,000 young shad
hatched by artificial processes. The
most satisfactory results have followed
the efforts of former years. Shad have
not been so abundant in the Hudson
River for nearly half century as they
have been this spring. The New York
markets were filled to overhowing, and
fishermen along the river disposed of
vast quantities for fertilizing their fields.
Fish have never been so cheap in New
York as they have been the present year,
and with properly directed efforts their
abundance may be continued at compara-
lively small cost. The Fish Commission's
work in other directions has been hardly
less successful. Brook trout have been
put in nearly every available stream
salmon have been turned loose in the
rivers, lake trout, black bass, perch and
white fish are thriving in waters that
had not known them for years" The
advantages of thus stocking the lakes
and streams Of the country with the most
delicious varieties of fish are so great that
we think the country may congratulate
itself upon the development of a source
of food supply for the masses that prac-
tically adds millions of dollars to the
available resources of the country.

for the previous question, imme-

trumpets and moved to lay the
amendment on the table.
The motion prevailed with a yell.
And thus the House of Representa-
tiYes said "we reject, with indig>
nant scorn a proposal to say that
we intend nothing dishonest, and
especially intend not to violate one
of the plainest of constitutional
provisions" 1t mi ght seem strange
that this rejected amendment was
not made a part of the bill in the
Senate. But here is a fact about
the Senate-and l wish it under

any near friends in the House-the
Senate contains much less ability,
and vastly less good hard sense, in
proportion to its numbers, than the

They are great speeeh-makers in

less, for in nearly all of them there
is a perceptible undercurrent of dis
honesty. l should not be greatly
surprised to see some of the solons

The tax extension bill met with

it is not a special extension, but a
general law that the illegal addition

adding a penalty for delay is one of
the most outrageous violations of

State has ever been guilty of.
The property is liable for the tax,

paper.
rh- DAILY CHRONICLE, and
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE,
will be kept up during the year
1879 to their usual high standard.
By enterprise, accurateness, and
close attention to the wants of our
readers, we hope to merit contin-
uation of the liberal patronage
heretofore extended these journals.
Nearly nine years ago, when
there was not Republican daily In
the State, and only two or three In
the South, we commenced the pub
LEGATION of the CHRONICLE. In all
these years we have battled for Re-
publican principles, and see no
reason to change our course now.
Hence we shall continue to publish
truthful, reliable Republican
journal, not the organ of any man
or clique, but the outspoken and
fearless advocate of principles,
measures and men, best calculated
to promote the welfare of the
country and the Republican party.
We will endeavor to make our
agricultural columns worth more to
farmers than our subscription price.
AS newspaper our publications
shall not be excelled in the State.
In addition to our telegraphic dis
patches from all parts of the world,
our readers shall have the benefit of
correspondence and every other
means through which reliable infor~
nation is obtained,
Each number of the paper will
contain selections made with special
reference to the home circle. :. We
will continue to avoid everything
calculated to contaminate, and will
publish paper that may be taken
without question within the sacred
precints of the family circle.
Our market reports shall have
close attention, and be made entire
ly correct and reliable.
We call upon all persons inter-
ested in the publication of our in
dependent, fearless, reliable Repub-
lican journal to come to our aid and
assist in extending the circulation
of the DAILY CHRONICLE and
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE.
In view of the financial pressure
upon the country and the general
reduction of values, we have decided
to reduce the price of the WEEKLQ
WING AND CHRONICLE to suit the
times. In the fu4ure we will send
our weekly paper to subscribers on
the following
TERMS:
One copy one year....."...........Sl 90
six months."............... 100
To any person who will send US
a club of ten subscribers with the
cash, $500, we will send one copy

The law prohibiting the carinp Of vounp

The law prohibiting the caging Of young
knocking birds seems to lie nullity in this
immediate section. We are sorry to see it,
but it is nevertheless the case. The mock
ing bird is the sweetest singer of ell the
birds, and its natural disposition is to linger
about our homes, which fnct renders the
caging of them entirely unnecessary. Our
homes are cheered and enlivened most
when their sweet notes are caroled from the
tree-top and among the shrubbery of our
yards; and to cage them is not only vio-
lation of law, but will ultimately annihi-
late the species. By some means or other
the practice should be stopped, and If moth
ing else viii do il tie enforcing of the lau
will. The penalty is fine of ten dollars
for every bird Gagged, one-half of which goes
to the informer.
