THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON.


Great Interest In the Result-Mr. E;aine's
Friends Elated.
Washington dispatch to the Times.
The news from the Pennsylvania Repub-
lican convention created great interest
here. Hotels and telegraph Offices were
full of people who sought news from Har-
risburg. Blaine was at a dinner party at
Senator AllisOn's, and attended the we'd
ding of ID. c. Forney's daughter after
wards. Returning home about mid
night, he received several dispatches Civ
ing the result of the days session, but de-
clined saying anything about the matter
further than to suggest the moral effect
of twenty or thirty majority would not
be very strong example to other states,
especially when Cameron CONTROLS the
state as he does. The friends of Blaine
are greatly elated at the result, saying
that his strength in the state must be
greater than that of Cameron or
Grant, else one hundred and thirteen men.
in the face of CamerOn's anger and ven
geance, would not have dared to stand up
as they did. 1t is known here that Don
Cameron was more interested in the Har-
risburg convention than in any other
political event of his life. When the
ds-McManes delegation was here Nc
Names was not in favor of instructine for
Grant, and during an interview in Gamer
On's house the latter was greatly excited
and walked up and down the floor in a
great state of mind, declaring that if he
failed in Harrisburg it would be his polit-
ical destruction. 1t was no longer Grant.

FISHING.
Shad fishing has been excellent the past week
Mcssrs. Shnre Bros, have been catching from
40 TO 20 each night They are the finest shad
that have been caught in these waters for many
years, many OF them weighing from 81 to ~
lbs piece. Angle fishing has begun, but few
are caught, as il is too early in the season.
Black bass are plentiful and win soon give fine
sport to anglers. Young eels are numerous and
can be seen by the thousand vending their way
up the river. Herring are plentiful in the canal,
and are being scooped out of the locks thous-
ands at 4 time.
RIVER
Owing to the long continued drought, the
river is very low, and still falling, it being only
IS inches above the lowest water mark known.
Rocks and small islands can be seen in groups
anywhere i'll line river ami the river is therefore
very picturesque,

pondent Of the Baltimore Sun says:
An employee in the Baltimore custom house
is very much displeased with the appointment
of census enumerators in Hartford county. He
writes to the superintendent of the census that
the enumerators are Democrats, that the ex-
cuse given for their appointment was that
they possessed the necessary clerical ability,
but he says there are others who applied who
had just AS much capacity and he, therefore,
protests against the appointments. The wri-
ters objection seems to rest solely on the
ground oflhe enumerators being Democrats,
but after all he must think there are some
good men among the Democrats, for he refers
the superintendent of the census to Judge
Carey, Baltimore, who is understood to be n
Democrat as indorser for his own good
standing
The enumerators appointed for this county
are all Republicans and nearly all of them
took part in the late Republican county con-
yention. So far as we know they are fair and
competent men, and their appointment is
satisfactory to the people of the county.

CoRRECTIoN-Oura attention has been call
ed to an error which occurred in our report
of the court proceedings last week In re-
porting the case of the State VS.. Scarborough,
(removed from Cecil county,) it was stated
that the defendants pleas were sustained and
the Indictment quashed because the opinion
of the Chief Judge took precedence over that
OF the Associate who differed with him. As
our readers know that we are not learned in
the law we are sure they will excuse an oc-
casional error or inadvertence of this kind :;
but rs we desire TO lead no one into error we
hasten to make the proper correction. The
facts of this case, as we are now informed,
and the reason why the indictment was
quashed by divided court were these The
defendant filed number pleas, all in abatc-
ment of the indictment; to one of these pleas
the State demurrcd and upon this demurrer
the court divided; and Of course, the dcmur-
rer not being sustained by majority of the
court, the plea was held to be good and the
indictment was quashed. The opinion of
neither judge has precedence over that of the
other, but the application of well-known and
well-established rules prevent the possibility
of " deadlock occurring through divided
court when two judges sit together For in
stance, upon demurrer, as in this case, it
requires the action of the court or n majority
of il to sustain it, and when the court is equal
ly divided the demurrer must fail Had the
differing opinions of the two judges in this
case been reversed the demurrer would have
failed all the same, and in that event the opin-
ion of the Associate Judge would have pre-
vailed.
