There are two sides to everything.
Some Of my neighbors, knowing your
usual readiness to publish both sides,
and seeing several articles in your paper
in favor Of the fish law, have asked me
to write and request you to publish 4
few words on the negative side Of this
law.
First, is this thing constitutional ?
Secondly, Has not Il person as much
right to 90 and catch his fish on hisown
land, in any manner he wishes, as he
has to 90 out and catch his hog or his
sheep in any manner he may choose ?
But, they say the fish are are being
rapidly reduced. This | do not believe
A lilc-t time Knowledge Of Elk river con-
vinccs me there are fully as many fish
in it as there were ten years ago-ccr-
tainly not as many as there were thirty
years since, but the reason is plain.
Then tlat-boat could and did load in
the county with hundreds Of bales OF
cotton and so through to New Orleans,
Then fish could start from the Allan
tic ocean and come to Franklin county,
Now, mill-dams prevent fish from ever
ascending, although in high water they
may descend. This is certainly the Sc
cret Of the decrease in fish. They have
now reached II stage where there
is no visible decrease. Although ! do
not believe in scining during the spawn
ing season.
Again, there is II law allowing people
to prevent any one from fishing or
hunting on their grounds, but the pco-
pie Of this county, naturally generous,
have not awaited themselves Of the ben
eft Of this law.
see it denied that the fancy fisher
men engineered this law through the
Legislature. If they did not, vino did,?
There is II splendid prospect for
wheat, Corn coming up beautifully.
Hill and dale are clothed with living
vcrdure, and the ting-a-ling music Of
Of sheep and COW bells is heard on every
side SUBSCRIBER.

to your insane remarks about the fish

Rev. Joseph 7. Davidson.

At a meeting of the Parish Board of
School Directors held in Homer on the 9th
day of Nov, leel, the following preamble
and resolutions were presented by Mr.. Cor
mick and unanimously adopted:
Whereas it has pleased our Father in
Heaven to call to His celestial abode our
most worthy and efficient President, the
Rev. Joseph 7. Davidson, we, the surviv-
ing members of the Board, bow in reveren-
tial awe to His inscrutsble decree. We
deeply deplore the loss Of one 50 well known
and appreciated by this enmmunity for
more than a quarter Of . century for his
purity, integrity, piety, and unselfish and
self-sacrifciDg devotion TO the educational,
moral and Christian elevation Of his fell
lov.men. No man could have acted in so
lofty and holy a sphere Of action with
greater energy, zeal and consistency. His
place cannot soon be filed. We shed the
tear of sorrow over all that remains to us
of this noble adopted son Of God, and
whilst his spirit survives in eternal har-
mony with its Creator, we bid peace to his
ashes. Requiescat in pace.
LIST. Resolred, That the Board deeply la
ment the removal by death of it's able and
efficient presiding officer-a man long the
instructor Of youth himself; the liberal,
earnest and pure advocate Of Christianity
from the pulpit; member Of our late Con-
stitutional Convention; one who filled ma
ny Offices of trust from the people to their
entire satisfaction without even the breath
Of calumny to tsrnish his unspotted repu-
tation; u man without an enemy; friend
to the poor and helpless; one, like the Chew
alier Bayard, "rithout fear aud Tithout re.
proach, in a word, Gods noblcst work,
an hopest man."
End. Resolred, That we, not only rs mem
bers Of this Board, but M personal friends
of the deceased, do tender orr sincere feel
ings of coincidence to the widow and be-
rcaved family, assured however that they
feel and know we'll that their temporal
loss is his eternal gain

preamble and resolutions bc furnished the

The Trial Of Guiteau.


The mOst interesting trial which has
trsnspircd in the history Of our govern
ment is now in progress ia the city Of
Washington. Charles J. Guiteau il on
trial for the murder of the President Of
the United States, James A. Garfield. IL
Is al honor to our government and TO the
state of society that this malefactor " no
has stricken down great peoples chosen
and popular ruler ia the very com mence-
ment Of his administration is brought to a
fair and impartial trial before jury Of his
conutrymcn, and no hand Of violence has
been laid upon him. We suppose there are
few countries where Guiteau could have
anything like the chance for his life which
he has IN ours. There are few govern
ments where he would not have been torn
limb from limb without the formality Of a
trial But here he has ut least the show
Of fair trial and chance for an ac1uttal
This is all proper and As it should be.
Guteau has committed q great crime. lie
murdered the President, but at the same
time he should he allowed every defence
which the murderer of the hurnblest citi.
zen would be- accorded, aud il punished,
punished only after legal conviction. 1t
is q spectacle for the world to gaze upon
the court Of great government trying
fairly and impartinlly a worthless vnga-
L., Zoe h., r
citizen.
Fhc tnry has been sworn and the prose
cution and the defence have made their
opening arguments. The defence rely on
the insanity Of the prisoner alone. We
presume that the question of NAL practice
will not be raised. As the trial progresses
Guiteau is playing his part with great
skill. professional actor could not more
perfectly play the part Of nh insane man.
The only fault that could be found with
his acting Is that it il too perfect, aud
shows that there are brains behind which
prompts lie actor 10 make this last des-
pcrato effort for his life. The trial will
last for some time yet and there is no pre-
dieting the result. What man was ever
wise enough to forctcll the verdict Of a
jury
The question of insanity is one which
should receive tho earnest attention of the
court and jury. We do not believe that
Guitcau is insane, but VIC have but n poor
opportunity Of knowing. There is much
in his conduct which strongly savors of
insanity, and while no sane mau should he
allowed to escape on the plea Of insanity,
yet no insane man should be punished 1t
would be horrible for this people to
convict and execute n mnu who was not
morally responsible for his acts, no matter
how great the crime he had committed
The verdict of this jury will he awuitcd
with more interest than that Of any jury
ever empanneled on this continent.
