Congressmen and Contractors
Cash.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-It is init
mated that the favorable action in the
House to-day on the Star Service Ap-
preparation bill, with the Senate
amendments, was brought about
through liberal use of cash by con-
tractors. 1t is said, that S., 600 was
the price of a vote, and that the plan
of the contractors was to approach
members in close districts and tell
them that if they would vote for the
bill so much money would be contri-
buted to their campaign expenses
Some say that as many as twenty-eight
succumbed to this sort of influence,
while others fix the number that was
bought at about fifteen, and say the
price ranged from $5, 900 to $4,000.

Our fishermen have not yet gone into
active operations. Herring are plenty,
but shad are yet backward, although
few have been caught by the gillers in
the vicinity Of Turkey Point. The fish
cries OF Messrs. Rodney and Shippers
will commence work on the 11th Inst,
when we shall expect to hear something
about shad. Branch herring are now
plentifully gilled and even dipped in
this immediate neighborhood, and are
selling at fifteen and twenty cents per
dozen. The first sbad caught In the
neiehborhood Of Havre de Grace was
on Wednesday of this week. The first
caught In the North East river this year
was at Hance's Point over month ago.

Buck a HldE 'R'E.osEf.

As gentleman was angling i'll the mill
dam below Winchester, he accidentally
threw his line across Il strong white duck
/ which, suddenly turning round, twisted
/ the gut about her OWN neck, and fixed thC
hook of the dropper fly i'll her own breast
Thus entangled and hooked, she soon
broke of the gut above the dropper, and
/ sailed down stream with the end OF the
fly trailing behind her. She had not pro-
ceeded far before a trout, of about pound
and half, took the fly etfectualiy. Then
commenced Il struggle as extraordinary as
ever was witncssed-a duck at the drop
per, and a large trout at the end of the fly.
Whenever the trout cxertcd itself. the
terror of the duck Aas very conspic,loua;
it tiuttered its wings and dragged the fish.
When the trout was more quiet the duck
evidently gave way, and suffered himself
to be drawn under some bushes, where
the shortness of the gut did not allow the
trout to shelter himself. The ducks head
was frequently drawn under water Rv
chance, however, the gut got across Il
branch which hung downward into the
water; and the duck, taking advantage Of
the purchase which this gave her, dragged
her opponent from his hole and obliged
him to show his head above water. Then
it became 4 contest of life and death, The
trout was in its last agonics, and the duck
in q very weak state, when the gut broke,
and suffered them to depart their own
