United States Fisheries,

ONE OF the most interesting and i'm
portant features of the new census is the
investigation which has been going on,
into the history and present condition of
the fisheries OF the United States. It is
placed in charge of Prof. P. F. BAIRD,
United States commissioner of fisheries.
His final report will include imports and
exports of fish and fish products from
1920 to the present time, beside foreign
shipments. a few of these tables have
ben prepared, and exhibit some remark
able features, such as the growth of the
oyster export trade from .$S5, 0S9 in 1862,
when the first reliable information be
gins, to s453 ,306 in 1879, and the decrease
in the exports of spermaceti for candles,
which in 1886 amounted to $341 ,907, and
in 1857 was but $35, 121, since which time
it has gradually fallen- off to condition
of absolute stagnation. The work is di.
vided into several sections, each one In
the hands of an expert in his particular
branch. 3. E. EARLL has charge of the
Atlantic coast fisheries. He was formerly
in charge of the propagating department
Capt j. w. COLLINS, for thirty years in
the halibut and cod fishery of Gloucester,
Mass, is his assistant. SILAs STEARNs,
naturalist of note, is in charge
of the gulf coast, and has with him S. T.
WALKER, as collector of specimens, long
in the employ of the Smithsonian Insti-
tute. LUDWIG HUMLEIN, late with the
Poloris Arctic expedition as naturalist,
looks after the great lakes. D. S. JORDAN
will report on the sea fisheries of the
| Pacific coast; he is also a naturalist of
high repute, famous for the discovery of
several new varieties OF fish. CHARLES
| G.. ATKINS, the Fish Commissioner of
Maine, has charge of the river fisheries of
that State. Col. MARSHALL MCDONALD
holding the same Office in Virginia, will
report on the Southern rivers, including
the Potomac. ERNEST -INGERsoLL, we'll
known IN literature, has been retained to
look after the interests of oysters, while
r. 81. EDMUNDs, of Baltimore, takes the
fish trade of that port, as also do BARNET
PHILLIPS, of New York, and W. A.
Wilcox, of Boston, tor those ports
About fifteen new varieties of food fish
have been already added, by the labors of
this department of the census, to the 173
common food fishes of this country. Prof
BAIRD contemplates the formation of a
permanent bureau for the collection of
statistical information in connection with
the Fish Commission at the close of the
present week.

THE old Ku.Klux organization is re-
ported, by advices at Washington, to have
been revived in Virginia, under the self
assumed name of "Southern Regulators"
It's operations are carried on in secret and
under disguise, and warnings, whippings
and murder are its manifestations. Among
its victims are honest and reputable white
citizens, whose only ofense is their politi-
cal sentiments. Prompt measures have
been taken to bring these conspirators to
Justice, but when arrested, identified and
indicted for their criminal offenses, they
procure bail through their sympathizers,
and gain their release, and the Laws
and forms of justice are def1ed and turned
into a farce. It is the opinion of we'll
informed persons that this is only the be.

Khan methods adopted at the last Presi.

Partisan Intolerance.

1t will be remembered that Immediate
ly after the adjournment of the Chicago
Convention, the Republicans residing in
Montgomery, Alabama, and its vicinity
undertook to hold a GARFIELD and
ARTHUR ratification meeting IN that city,
and that a Democratic mob assembled
and by riotous and violent dem onstrations
broke up and dispersed the meeting. De-
termined to maintain the right Of free
speech and free discussion, the Re-
publicans tried the thing over again
last week, and finally succeeded in
organizing and carrying out their meet
ing. Before they began, however, some
Democratic roughs assembled about the
speakers stand, and INDUCED in one of
their. favorite modes of augmentation by
hrowing eggs at the crowd which had
come together to listen to the speaking
But some of the more respectable of the
party had evidently become frightened by
the effect of the performances at the pre-
vious meeting, and tie Sheriff, who was
under their advice, to try and preserve
order. One of the egg-throwers
was arrested, and the Sheriff took
position upon the stand and
begged the Democratic rioters to desst.
In spite OF his efforts, however, not a
speaker escaped interruption and every
one was assaulted with opprobious Ian.
guage, by the intolersnt roughs who were
determined to destroy the effect of the
meeting. The Republican speakers per-
sisted, and in spite of these demonstra-
tons, carried out their programme. The
Montgomery Adoertsser, Democratic or.
gan, though trying to put as good face
upon these disgraceful proceedings as
possible, admits that there were a number
of Democrats about the stand who
cheered and. hurrahed for HANCOCK
and ENGLISH. This, the paper regrets,
and hopes the Democrats will hereafter
refrain from any sort of demonstrations
about radical meetings, for, no matter
how harmless their conduct, it will be
misconstrued." OF course, such little
matters as throwing eggs, and disturbing
the proceedings by hurrahing for the
other side and applying approbrlous
terms to the speakers are among the
mildest of Southern Democratic methods
for the suppression of free speech, but it
would seem that at this late day, and I'M
der free government, even such exhibit
tons of party hate and intolerance ought
to cease. 1t is certainly very poor rec
ommendation of cause which has to be
upheld by resort to such means by its
advocates. In time, there will be reac-
ton, and public sentiment will grow up
which will overwhelm the party that has
to sustain and perpetuate itself by such
unworthy, disreputable and vicious
methods.

In Mr.. Ames' first testimony he names
sixteen members of Congress to whom he
offered the stock, and says that eleven of
them bought it, but he sets Mr.. Garfield
down among the FIVE who did not buy it..
He says: "He Garfield did not pay for
it or receive 1t. He never paid
any money on that stock nor received
money on account of it." Let me add that
the last grant to the Union Pacific Rail-
road was by the act of July, 1864, and
that Cakes Ames had nothing to do with
the Credit Mobilier till more than two
years after that date.
The point to which I took exception to
the report of the Committee was this: the
report held that Mr.. Ames and Mr. Gar
field did agree upon the purchase of the
stock, and that Mr. Garfield received 1929
on account of it. insisted that the evi.
dence did not warrant that conclusion,
and rose in my place in the House and
announced that should make that state
ment good before the American public /;
that held myself responsible to demon.

If we are to credit the New Orleans
"Times, " matrimony 10 played out''
in that city. A fashionable young lady
who has been interviewed on the sub
ject says that the men who are not mar
ried are spoiled beyond all hope of re-.
demption, while many of those who are
married are so angry with themselves
for having gone and done it thst they
keep away from their homes as much
as possible. AS time goes on and a
period arrives it might be supposed
that the men would like to settle down,
it is found that they have lost all taste
for domestic life, and this is the reason
why New Orleans is crowded with old
bachelor beaux. Society, in short, is
found to offer much greater attractions
than home. This is a bad lookout.

this will inevitably result in the defeat
Of Grant. The Secretary hks just re-

two districts in that State have been
elected and are for him.
Both Sherman's and Blaine's friends

exaggerated. They give him about
300 votes, and assert that It will be diff
