Whatever steps may be taken to stock our
streams with feb or to allow free passage to
them up and down our streams should be
encouraged 1t is idle to say such EFFORTS ore
futile and will never result in benefit, TO-" the
introduction and cultivation of fish hos
boen and can be made successful, and the
neglect Of effort to their introduction and
migration will result in the entire disap.
pearanoe Of them from our riyers. Thirty
years ago the rivers in our county abounded
in great variety Of fsh, large and fine, for
table use, and in the spripg chad 10 great mum.
bers were trapped. We can remember when in
she heart Of shad seasop, fine chad were sold
at ten to fifteen cents each. We can also re--
member during freeze In the winter as
many as Ave to eight hundred suckers were
taken from q trap in one night. The rock
fish and sturgeon were also occasionally
fonnd In our streams, while the jack, trout
and blue cat abounded. ALL this has passed
away, aud our streams contain but few fish,
of inferior size. We have not heard of a
shad being caught this season in Koowee
River, and during last winter. though severe,
few fab were trapped. Whether it be dams
and distractions that have cut off our supply

CnANDLER's REJECTION THE LAST ACT OF THE
SENATE,

WASHINGTON, May 20.--Tho end of this
most extraordinary Of extraordinary sessi ions
was reached to day. AS if to maintain its
well-earncd reputation tho closing hour was
characterized By fight over Office. The
executive session occupied all the afternoon
over the Chandler nomination. Tho discus.

several Republicans voting against and

Senate with no Offices to fight over, 80 IL nd
journod sine die.
a good many Office seekers we're at the
Capitol to-day, thronging tho corridors and
anxiously watching for what never came
thoir nominatlons. Contrary to the general
impression tho President sent in very few
names to"day and great many cruel disap..
pointments were the consequence. Tho pros
suro has been immense and great many
mon tonight wero dissatisfied and discour
aged with our form Of Government.
The opinion becomes more and more strong
here that Mr.. Conklng and Mr. Platt, to use
Westernism. havo "bitten off more than
they can chaw." News from Albany indicates
that their re>election is not by any means a
matter OF course. 1t is the general talk
here that .Conkling will leave the matter
in the hands of his friends and is careless Of
recollection. IIe will not 60 to Albany, but
will retire to sul1 in quiet place and leayo
others to boar the brunt of tho row he has
stirred up.
With Platt tho circumstances arc different.
Ito does not relish being retired in tho verv
beginning of his term, and will mako on
active struggle to como back. Platt had lust

Immigrants Settling in Oconee

EDIToRs OF KEowEE COURIER: Mr.. John
Kimmorer, whom you announced some weeks
ago rs having arrived in our town from Wurtcm-
berg, South Germany, has recently purchased
from Mr.. John j. Anscl his valuable farm, somo
two miles Northwest of Walhalla, on Cane
Creek.
Prof. Charles Many, Of Brunswick, Germany,
has also arrived lately and is now building his
house on tho lot of land purchased some time
ago from Mr.. r. Ochmig, situated near Wanner's
MILL
These gentlemen have means and will mako
and develop our county anI VIC have room and
hearty welcome for thousands Of such These
gentlemen were induced 10 como to Walhalla hy
our efficient County Commissioner, Mr.. G.
~anner, while on prospecting tour in Column
bia, some weeks ago, filled with the presumption
of getting from 10 board of agriculture" cor,-
posed of merchants and lawyers, the position of
Superintendent of Immigration
We are glad, however, that he failed, for this
action of his has ovcrbalanced the loss sustained
by some of our citizens upon investment of their
money in immigrants forwarded 10 this county
by the aforesaid board.
Long may Mr.. Wanner live in Oooneo to do
such deeds.

Offices.

We agree to some extent with tho views Of
"W P. c." on the distribution Of Offices in. this
State. Our county and Some other counties
have not heretofore been counted as entitled to
any consideration. We are never overlooked
when voting is to- be done or taxes paid, but
when the honors and cmoluments of the gov
ernment arc disposed Of We are ''smaIl po,a-
toes" We admit that Offices are not created for
the benefit Of any individual or section, but
they are necessities to the good of the whole
people in the proper administration Of govern
ment. Fitness and competency are requisites
above individual or local claims, but when those
are admitted to- exist In oil parts of the country,
then why should not sections be- favored in
ordera Why should Laurens have the bieu-
tenant Governor two terms, Chief Justice and
