THE OUTDOOR
Election Laws RepeaIed--Su-
provisions Abolished.

From q recent debate in the House
of Representatives upon the appro-
priation bill, it looks as if there would
be a sever struggle over the repeal
of the election machinery invented
by the Republican party in 1872, for
the perpetuation of their power.
To John /. Davenport, as much as
to any other one individual is due
the paternity of measures, whereby
in the city of New York, as well as at
the South, there have been recent
outrages on legal voters. These laws
form an important part of the scheme
of Capitalization begun at the close
of the war, and designed to be ex-
tended until the States should be
shorn of their most important rights.
The late Senator Morton, with Conk-
ling, Blaine, Chandler and Logan
and those led by them, looked and
still look TO nothing short Of the
most radical changes in our instltu.
tons, and had in that particular, the
hearty assent and cooperation of
General Grant. Among the means
resorted TO we're confseations, test
oaths, exclusion from %juries, politi-
cal disability and carpet bag rule.
The repeal Of these measures has
always been persistently resisted by
the Republican party. Therefore,
when the Democrats proposed the
other day to abolish these laws in the
very mode IN which they We're passed
by appending a repeal of them to an
appropriation bill, the members, that
originally put the job through X
claimed against the imitation attempt
ed of their example and threatened
to prolong the debate to the end of
the session rather than surrender their
supervisors and marshals at five dol
lars q day to work as electioneering
agents.
This menace stirred the Democrats
and the outcome now, very material
ly depends on the respective back
bone that shall be exhibited by one
or the other of the parties IN the
House.
Since the above was written the
question of repeating the election
laws, &C., has been reached and pass
ed in the House by q vote of 143

WRANGLE.
Ine Lie Passed Between Burn
sides and COnkling Over am
Important Nomination.

The Senate while in executive ses-
sion ON Saturday was the scene of a
dlsgraceful wrangle between Messrs.
Burnsides and Conkling, both Repub-
lican senators. The one the friend,
and the other the enemy, of the adj
ministration. The seeming cause of
this outbreak was an unimportant
nomination which senator Conkling
desired to have passed upon, but its
true origin, no doubt, has a more
serious root-mutual jealousy of one
another. For a moment only was
this passage at arms confined within
parliamentary language. Conkling,
full of anger. felt himself assailed in a
tender spot 10y an administration sem
ator, and gave vent to his wrath, only
retaining sufficient control of himself
to keep within the Senate's rule of
debate. 1t is reported that his re.
marks were extremal-o
His abuse Of j. Arnsides was enough
re- use any ones anger. The lat
ter, under great excitement, told the
New York senator, in plain terms,
that he lied, adding that in all his life
he had never seer such duplicity. and
wishing hat he had the tongue of
Blaine who had, on a similar occasion,
replied so fifty to the senator. Sena-
tor Hoar, who was in the chuir, ord
cred Burnsides to take his seat. For
a minute or more the belllgerant SEN
ators were like a pair of dogs and
cats. The presiding officers gavel
failed to secure order. Finally Burn
sides took his hat and left the senate
chamber.
After the row was over the Senate
adjourned without taking formal
action, and senators say they a not
see at present how the alteration is
to be settled. They are greatly divi-
ded. Some think Conkling had great
insult, and others believe he solicited
the quarrel supposing that he would be
the strongest in the fray. Burnsides'
friends say that Conkling has been
continually abusive toward him in
executive session, because he sup
ported the administration and because
he supposed himself Burnsides' supe-
rior. On this occasion he accused
him of trickery in regard to New
York appointments which Burnsides
denied.
For shame. gentlemen; on Wash
ington's birthday, too. The country
needs attention given to its interests.
The spectacle of well-dressed and
well-kept senator's, whose get-up,
whose w~hiskers, clothes and canes
have long been the admiration and
envy of all beholders, flying into pas
sion, getting red in the face and hiss
ing out liar to II another may be
sensational, but il is not what
the country expects of its representa-
ives at Washington.

FISH Culture.
by R. ID. Roosevelt.

Birds are provided for men to shoot
and fish are given them to be caught,
and provided both are honestly CON
verted into food, it is difficult to say
why hunting and fishing should not
be as honorable as ploughing and
reaping. Trout are sometimes sold
rs high as 81 per pound, a price that
is rarely demanded for any other
species of food, aud it would be both
a benefit and a blessing to increase
their number and lessen their price.
If the farmer can add to his ether
crops, a crop of fish he will benefit
both himself and his neighbors. To
attempt this may at first sight appear
difficult, but it Is not nigh SO heavy
a job as to make broad acres laugh
with luxuriant h~arvests.
Fish-farming has its rules and its
limits too, precisely as land-farming
also has, but they are simpler aid
far more remunerating. From a
single mature fish millions may be pro-
duced A sturgeon contains nearly
ten million eggs,cod and herring have
their millions also, shad their hun
dreds of thousands, and even trou&
and bass their many hundreds. Once
Matched fish provide for themselves
they need no care ; they convert in
sects and water-grasses into human
food. Trout OF bass from the farmers
pond costs nothing beyond the trouble
of catching, and compares favorably
with wen his poultry, to say nothing
of his bacon and pork. 70 reduce
the labor of catching fish it is only
necessary TO make them abundant.
H. is not necessary now a-days for
farmers to look after the Matching of
fish. The State attends to that.
After the trout fry are placed in their
proper elements, and 1t must not be
forgotten that only cold spring-water
is suited to them, they will take care
of themselves. In the course of a
year or two, they will have attained
an edible size and can then be caught.
Nothing is simpler than this, and yet,
how many streams and fine fresh
brooks there are, that perhaps once
abounded in trout, which are now
wholly depopulated.
There is however ANOTHER fish
known as the fresh water bass, which
is possibly even more valuable than
trout for farmers use. 1t is not so
exacting in the character of the
water in which it will live. 1t will
grow ever more rapidly, and what is
more important still, it needs no care
or culture whatever. Bass never fail
to increase rapidity wherever they are
introduced, and they are suited toAaIl
sorts and sizes of ponds. They are
especially the fish to be used where
understanding is combined with land
farming. Nothing Is necessary for
commencement, but to place a few
pair Of mature fish which can easily
be transported to any water, they may
be expected to populate. After that
they will take rare of themselves.
They can hold their own with any
other species and for human food can
not be exoelled, The big monthed
bass thrives best In muddy or stag
nant water, while the small mounted
require clean water, running over peh-
bly, bottoms, and ale among the
earnest. of fisk.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1879-02-27

Few persons have any idea of the
magnitude of this trade. 1t 10 esti-
mated that last year the value of live
and dead beet exported, reached if
teen millions of dollars. If to this
be added that Of pork and mutton
sent abroad, the amount will touch
twenty-five million.
This trade vast as it is, is insignif-
cant to what it might be made. 1t
has been increasing rapidly, but late
ly it received a severe check in pleuro
pneumonia. This is exceedinly I'M
fortunate. The English are proyerbi-
ally slow coaches. 1t was difficult to
convince Johnny Bull that England
is not par ex~ceilancer the land OF
roast-beef, plumb-pudding and boiled
mutton. And now, when that was
well nigh done-when prejudice was
almost dispelled by the irresistible
excellence of our shipments, when
the refrigerator enabled us to land
whole carcasses in as fine condition
as when they left the slaughter houses.
this new difficulty arises.
The English public have been in
formed that this disease comes from
carelessness, and something must be
done to satisfy them that hereafter
brother Jonathan will not attempt to
palm off ON them sick cattle. They
pay great attention to merciEul trans
portation Of stock inSGreat Britain.
Every twenty-four hours cattle are
unloaded, fed, watered and rested
seven hours. British experts trace
this disease TO cattle being kept sixty
hours on their feet without food or
water in the cars during their trans
port across this continent.
This matter has been before Con-
gress for some time but action has
been delayed by railroad influences.
This can be submitted to no longer.
Cruelty to animals in transit can and
must be stopped. The bill now be-
fore the Senate proposes not only te
accomplish Shis, hut also TO provide
