The Pennsylvania Bribers to
be PardOned,

HARRISBURG, Pa, April 30
The board OF pardons met this
morning, Messrs. Quay, Stone and
Denkel being present. After for
NAL application by the counsel for
the prisoners now serving their
term tor conviction Of corrupt sollc-
itation in connection with the riot
bill-Messrs. Kemble, Crawford,
Salter, Petrof and Rumbeger-the
board retired for half an hour for
consultation, and finally recommen-
ed the pardon of all FIVE, so far as
their Imprisonment is concerned.
This does not include a remission
of the fines and costs imposed, or
the disqualification to hold office
The recommendation is signed by
the whole board Notwithstanding
the fact that Palmer was not pre-
sent, and is substantially as fol-
lows
That the act of 1874 provides for
simple imprisonment,and that there
is no law for the imposition of adj
ditional conditions in the sentence,
such as Imprisonment at separate
and solitary confinement and hard
labor.
The Supreme Court have often
decided these enlarged sentences
unlawful, and by common law i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary has
been regarded as infamous. AS these
are offenses recently made punisha-
bic, and the first conviction under a
new law, the board recommends as
above.
The pardons in the corrupt solic-
itations cases were made out by
two o'clock, signed by the Govern
or and taken to the sheriff of Dau-
phin county, who took the papers
into the court. The judge, after
examining them, called attention to
to the fact that the sentence, as re-
cited in the pardons, read "hard la
bor," whereas he had not used the
word "hard" at all. He directed
that they be corrected at the State
Departmentment by striking out
the word .'hard," and that, on being
presented again to the sheriff, the
latter should release the prisoners.
The were then then presented to the
sheriff, and fines and costs, amount
ing to S6,921, having been paid, the
prisoners were released and depart
ed for their homes. with the exccp-
ton of Rumberger, who is still
here.

We have not expressed a decided
preference for any of the parties named
az a probable candidate for President
in the National Democratic ticket. We
have no perss email choice. We expect
to be governed by the wisdom Of the
National Democratic Convention in
their selection Of a man. We expect
them TO select a man whose personal
popularity will assist the party in elect
ing him. We expect to elect the DEM
ocratic candidate, and when elected we
expect him to take his seat. We were
unjustly and fraudulently cheated out Of
the Presidency the last time. In this
contest we want q man whe is deter
mined to maintain his party's rights.
We 90 into the contest with the full ex-
recitation that the Democratic party.
the party which is IN the majority 10
this eountIy-is fully determined not
only to elect its candidate but to see
that he takes the position to which he
is elected. We must be ready to detect
all tricks and schemes Of the enemy.
We have already exposed one traspar-
ent scheme, the independent electoral
ticket of Virginia, which we believe is
now harmless, for the people can see
its object, and knowing that they will
not touch it. We must be on the look
out for others and be prepared srst to
avoid all tricks and tricky schemes and
secondly to determine that no fraudu-
lently chosen President shall cheat the
people out of their rights. The Demo-
cratic party is able not only to elect a
President, but also to install him after
he is elected. Let the people know our
determination IN this respect and their
natural love OF liberty and hatred ofty-
rany will draw them to the enthusias-
tic support of our candidates.

The following account of the

The following account of the
propagation of the German Carp,
as reported in the Baltimore Sun,
will be of interest to many of our
readers. If we can have a domes-
tic fish that can be raised in ponds
our farmers will be supplied with
an abundance of fish which will
be under their exclusive control.
Yesterday april 24 afternoon
Prof, Baird invited the President,
anumber Of Senators and representa-
tives and others to meet at the gov
erment carp ponds, in Monument
Square reservation, to witness the
draining off of the waters of the
pond in order to secure the impor-
ted carp and separate from them the
cells, catfish and other fishes. Prof.
Baird and Mr.. Furguson superin-
tended the work of draining the
pond and transferring the carp to
the breeding ponds. After the wa
ter had been nearly drained off a
large seine was employed to secure
the fish, and each haul brought up
hundreds::of differedt varieties, in
Guiding cells from five inches to a
feet long, bass, suckers, catfish,
&c. The carp could be seen all
over the area Of the pond, swimming
lazily along as the water gradually
receded to the depth of ten inches.
The operation was novel, and was
witnessed with much interest by all
of those who were present. In 1876
Prof. Baird engaged an eminent
German fish culturist, DR.. R. His
sci, to bring a supply of the best
varieties of this favorite European
pond-fsh. The first experiment
was in May of that year, and was
not successful; out of 800 fish only
four survived. In May, 1877, DR..
Hissel returned from third trip,
bringing 345 young carp, 227 OF
which were of varieties known as
the 'leather carp and the mirror.
They were in a thriving condition
and increased rapidly in size, and
two years ago 100 of them were re-
moved to the government carp
ponds, constructed especially for the
purpose on the Washington monu-
ment reservation. The ponds
cover about IL acres, and the carp
have multiplied to such an extent
that it is possible now to begin the
work of distributing them. The in
PRODUCTION and domestication of this
new food fish will be Of much inter-
est and Importance to all inland
communities, as there is not ditch,
mill.dam OR a Doggy, muddy spot
which can be converted into pond
in which they will not thrive. The
carp soon become tame, and can be
readily handled, and it is thought
that in few years they can be
made as common an article of food
as ducks or pigeons. Prof. Baird
stated yesterday that each of the
famale carp taken out of the pond
would furnish from one quarter to
one million of eggs, and by the ar
tifcial system OF propagation. which
insures the fertilization OF all the
eggs. ninety per cent. ofthem will
be hatched. The carp taken GU
yesterday will soon spawn, and be.
fore long the little fish will be ready
for Observation-Disclosures present
yesterday were much ENTERTAINED
and interested, and Senator Becl
got so excited that he waded in the
mud up to his knees.
