II is traditional that the salmon was
onco so plentiful in the Connecticut River
that when a man went down to the landing in
Hartford to buy shad he was compelled to
carry away. also. two salmon in his basket 1t
is also asserted that there are old indentures
extant In which it is expressly stipulated that
bound apprentices. boarding with their MIS-
ters. shall not be compelled TO eat salmon in
season Oftener than twicea week. But for many
years past Connecticut River salmon have been
considerably scarcer than Connecticut candi-
dates for the United States Senate. Last year.
however the State and some adjacent States
particularly New York reaped the first fruits Of
the recent efforts to restock the Connecticut
River with this noble fish. and the Commission
ers have Just reported on the subject to the
General Assembly in session at Hartford.
Altogether. II IL Il queer report. II appears
that when the river was restorked il WIS in
tended TO preserve the fish till 1880. and tho
catching was prohibited till that time. But the
arrival OF mature fish on their return to spawn
was too much for the fisherman. and the law
was repealed 80 that last year at least 500 fish
OF tho average weight OF twelve pounds were
caught in the Connecticut and sold at dollar
the pound. mainly. II is complained. for tho
benefit OF New York epicures." The seine and
gill net were employed. and the take WIS suf-
flcient 10 prevent the natural propagation; at
tho same time. the Legislature reduced the
appropriation SO low that artificial salmon
Matching could not be continued. Complaint is
also made that tho fishermen are in iorco
enough TO control all legislation for tho protec-
ton OF the fish, and consequently they will con-
tinue " to fish. as they do now at MI times and
in all ways. according to their own WILL regard
less of the laws" This is a bad outlook for
future supplies Of salmon from the Connecticut.

Apportionment-The End Approaching.

So far as II relates to the Assembly, tho
apportionment question may be regarded
as disposed Of. The counties Of Cattarau-
gus, Columbia, Delaware. Madison, Niagara,
Ontario, Oneida. Oswego, Washington, and
Wayne have to give up ono member each 20
furnish four additional members to New
York. four TO Kings, one to Suffolk, and one
10 Monroe.
Though New York and Kings do not get
all they deserve nevertheless the ten coun-
ties yielded their ten members with extreme
reluctance. They did not seem to draw con-
ISOLATION from the fact that for many years
they had been allowed TO send twenty-three
Assemblymon 10 the Legislature, when in
justice they were entitled 10 only thirteen.
The political consequences that are likely
to follow the new apportionmcnt Of the AS
sembly are worthy Of notice. New York and
Kings will have thirty-eight members. This
is only fraction short Of one-third OF the
whole Assembly. The eight country mem
bcrs that are given up to New York and
Kings were invariably elected by the Re-
publicans. A united Democracy might now
secure nearly the whole OF them. Pretty
much the same rule applies 10 the two mem-
bers that are added to Suffolk and Monroe.
They are taken from Republican counties,
and allotted 10 those that sometimes go
Democratic.
There was no way OF avoiding these re-
suits for the undue proportion Of members
was confined TO Republican counties; and
the Republicans in the present Assembly
deserve credit for not following the bad
example of their predecessors, who permit
ted political intrigues to lead them away
from the plain path Of the Constitution.
To apportion the Senate is an easy task;
and now let the Republicans in the present
Senate refuse TO listen to the pernicious
counsels of few allies of Speaker ALvoRD
in their House, but pursue the sensible
course Of their brethren in the Assembly,
and bring this long controversy TO a close.

ECZEMA 0E THE HANDS
Cured. Interesting Letter from a we'll
known Attorney.

EDITOR NEW ORLEANS PICAYUNE; Sir:-Since
the fall of 1857 up to the last three weeks, have
been troubled with an eruption of the skin, which
the doctors call by various names, but which is
generally known by the name eff Eczema or Salt
Rheum. The principal place of attack my
hands, which at times especially during the winter
time, were very sore
Attimes the disease threatened to spread from my
hands and envelop my whole body. Doctors have
been consulted IN Philadelphia, Washington, and in
this city, with no more success than temporary
relief. After considerable expense, and much pain
and suffering, had come to the conclusion that
would, the saying goes, have to grin and bear it.
About four weeks ago read IN the Picayune the
advertisement of CutIcura, for sale by our we'll
known druggist Mr.. Lyons, and resolved TO try 1t.
purchased fifty cent box, and before it was half
used the disease had completely disappeared, and
feel certain that mine is permanent cure.
My object in send ng you this letter is to make
known to other sufferers the value of CUTICUBA,

IN the special interest of the national banks

attitude of Congress on the Presidents

be so very easy to pass a little bill con-
vertiDg the legal-tenders into depreeiat-

discussion whatever, and the whole thing
might be disposed of as quietly as silver
dollars, the money of the country for
eighty years, was converted into merchan-
disc in February, 1873 But the advo-
Gates of this measure overlook the radical
character of the change it would make in
the financial policy of the country. In the
first place there Is the question of con-
stitutionality to be settled That ques-

twice by the Supreme Court, and IS now
awaiting consideration. The revised
decision was that she legal tenders are

involves all the fundamental principles of
money and finance. of national policy and
duty. It precipitates discussion on the
policy of increasing the power of the two
thousand moneyed corporations, which
already have capital of nearly halt
billion dollars, and act together as solid
interest in elections as we'll as on the floor
of congress, where they are always ably
represented. And we entirely agree with
conservative men in both parties that it is
impolitc to precipitate discussion like
this on the eve of an exciting presidential
campaign, to add a new element of dis
traction to the country, which is only now
recovering from the terrible depression
caused in large part By pernicious financial
legislation. Let US have peace until
