japanese Fish.

The Smithsonian Institution at Wash
ington has just received collection Of
134 species of Japanese fish, being very
nearly complete collection of all the
known species in that empire. The
specimens are beautifully arranged, and
are correctly labeled both in Latin and
English. They come under the exchange
system SO widely practiced among the
scientific societies of the world. Not
long ago the Smithsonian Institution
sent to the Toxic Museum collection
of North American birds. equaled by
only three similar collections in this
country, and to the museum of the edu-
cational department a collection, also
very complete, of South American
birds.

stole a state, but thereby absolutely
reversed the popular will of the people
of the whole country. But the Democrats

Louisiana in this. In Louisiana in 1876,

Gov. Pinchback, of Louisiana, now in
Washington, says that the charges of bull
d. ziDg in Louisiana at the election just
held are utterly untrue; that the election
was the most orderly in his recollection;
that the negroes voted the Democratic
ticket voluntarily. and that if the Repub-
iican party expects to retain the colored
vote it must adopt different policy than
has been observed lately in that state. He
says that where the Democrats gained so
largely was owing to the liberal treatment
of the colored people and by inviting them
to share of the county offices. Pinch
back ought to be pretty good authority,
Out the stalwart papers will continue to
echo the charges just the same It is part
OF the plans Of the Republican party to

The fraud in Maine, as our Republican
friends term it, is based on law-further
the law is of Republican origin. Governor
Garceon has not stepped aside in single
instance, says Pillsbury, from Republican
precedent, and the action of the Governor
and Council was based on decisions of the
Supreme Court of the State. 1nasmuch
as the court is Republican, and the law
under which Governor Garcelon acted is
of like origin, there certainly ought not to
be any complaint from stalwart sources,
1t is clear case Of chickens coming home
