PARTY DISCIPLINE.
From the Jefferson Cny Tribune. j

,From the Jefferson Cily Tribunc.]
IF the democrats of Missouri would,
they could learn a valuable lesson, by
reviewing the party drill and discipline
of the republicans, when they were IN
power in the state 1t they would calm
" look into and study the tactics OF their
political enemies. they would abandon
some of their extremely foolish prac,
tices. The republicans were ashamed
to be considered Il party. bound and held
together by the strictest rules oi party
organization, not afraid of compromls-
inc their manhood or losing their lnde-
pendence, by yielding ready obedience
to the expressed will of their conven-
tions. A republican in good standing
never hesltates to give the full measure
of his influence to tho nominations OF
his party, nor to cooperate to the full
extent of his ability in carrying out
whatever programme was laid down by
the action of his party conventions, no
| matter whether it was, in every respect,
lust such as he would have had it or not.
1t was sufficient for him to know that
the will of the majority had been fairly
expressed, according to the usages OF
the party. With the advantage OF dem
ocratic principles, and the admirable
party drill which they always maintain
ed, the republicans would have been in
power to-day in Missouri, and for gen.
Grafton to come. Why? Because they
took care of their party, built up their
public men, stood up bravely tor their
acts in congress, IN state cabinet anu
general assembly. and the party assumed
the responsibility for whatever ITS rep.
resenLatlves did. They never ueittieu
their congressman, besmeareG the staV9
administration. nor derided their iegis-
, latures. They were always ready 20
y defend the work OF their party, as the
hest that could be done under the cir
! cumstances. If.any. amongst them' nc
matter who, yentnred to disturb the
. harmoney or degrade the party by de-
. nunciation of its work, he was given to
y understand that the party would be bet
- ter without him, and admonlshed him t.
~ 90 into the ranks of the enemy, ,where,a "a
% q deserter, he could do less harm. thar
" as a grumbler, and disorganizer in th'

=, tolerated any man who made 1t his bus
N ness to complain of everything, and pul
I I. down every man who did not fill tn

ri ness, or disappointed ambition. :.
ts 1t is none too soon for the democratl
M party in Missouri to hold grand n

FISH CULTURE.

Notwithstanding this interesting and
important branch OF industry is so l't 9
understood and appreciated. it is no nov
city but has been in successful operation
for centuries. The Chinese many cen-
turies ago commenced the successful
Matching and raising of fish of various
varieties for edible use, and their efforts
have been SO successful, that q penny
will buy fish enough for breakfast fer
small family.
The Remains, too, were adopts at fish
culture. Lucullus is SAID to have sold
his stock OF fish for 50 900 pounds ster-
ling equal to about $4,000. Some ep-
icures nourished pet breeds OF fish, as
stock breeders perfect particular ST rains
of blood, IN horses or cattle. The ex-
pertinent has also been made in many
of the European and some OF our own
northern states with like satisfactory
results. One of the most successful
trout breeders in the United States
is DR.. j. ii. Slack, of Troutdale n. j.
HIS works cover an area Of two acres
and are supplied by stream of cleaI
spring water, at uniform temperature
Of fifty-five degrees Fahrenheit. 1h'
ponds are three in number, the ont
nearest the hatcling house, prepared
for the reception OF The young trou
hatched during the winter; the next TO
yearling fish: the next occupied by full
, grown. or well developed trout. Th
capacity of this establishment is proba
bly one hundred thousand fish annually
: these at four years old will averag
about three pounds, making the az
h gregate three hundred Thousand lbs. {
delicious fat trout; this at twenty cent
per pound, which is below the averag
/, price Of such fish in the market, make
t the enormous sum of 900. gross pr
Il ceeds.

COMPLETION OF SUTRO TUNNEL.
A Magnificent Mechanical and Scientific
Victory over Nature.

A Sutro, New, dispatch of June 30th
says: Tonight the mountaln-tops over
looking the Washoe silver region and
the Carson valley are aolaze with bon
fires, and the echoes Of cannon and
discharges of giant powder are heard in
every direction. The event which is
being celebrated is the fnal completion
of the Sutro tunnel fer the reception
of the water from the COmstock mines.
After ten years of ceaseless labor day
and night, and the expenditure of
Sc 00O, 900, the powerful engines of the
combination shaft of the Hale & Nor
cross and Savage mines were started
up this morning at precisely s o'clock,
dlscharglng their water into the Sutro
tunnel, at The mouth of which it made
It's appearance IN one hour and twenty
minutes, showing a temperature at first
OF 1O1 degrees, which gradually IN
creased to us degrees. In eight hours
the water in the long drowned-out
mines was lowered 100 feet. Every
thing worked to a charm. The wooden
boxes, constructed Of threeinch tongue
and grooved Sierra Nevada pine, did
not show leak, and not even par
tlcle of steam escaped from them, so
that the tunnel after the hot water was
turned in showed barely an increase of
temperature. The water from the
Sierra Nevada, Union, Ophir, the Bo.
nanza mines, Best & Belcher, and
Gould d Curry will not be turned in
for couple of weeks, and after all finds
its way into the TUNE it is expected
that one of the double line of boxes
will have ample capacity to carry of
all the water. As an engineering work
the success surpasses all expectations,
and, while the people axe rejoicing, this
must be considered the proudest day IL

fully call your attenti il to the imme-

ouate provision for the due and eff
Gent execution by marshals and deputy
marshals of the United States, of the
constant and important duties enjoined

preparations 10 provide for the perform
