is good reason to believe that Connecticut could have been represented in the cabinet had MT. Blaine declined to accept the State quainted with the Republican leaders of Con- necticut, with some of whom he has served in Congress, and he is no doubt well aware of the importance of doing everything in his power to continue Republican supremacy in the State.''

COMMUNICATIONS.
The Public Oyster Beds.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Permit one of the readers of your paper g few words upon the most important matter to come before our Legislature this week. The question really is, Will our legislators aid and continue to assist score or two of men to obtain what they have not already got of the public oyster beds? If I under stand alright, this question covers two bills yet to be acted upon-the bill prohibiting steam dredging upon the public beds, and the bill to validate oyster and clam beds that be- longed to the public, but which have been staked off to individuals in direct vio- if not passed, allows & few wealthy gentlemen to obtain for themselves the remaining oysters and shells on nearly 5000 acres of natural oyster beds in the deep Connecticut waters, and destroys these same beds for upwards of 5000 voters of Connec- ticut who have depended upon them for livelihood for themselves and families. It is candidly admitted that with steamers built and building, if allowed to dredRe upon these beds as the few did last season, that the year 1881 will see the last of our large public beds. which have been the most productive and yielded the finest oysters of any in the world. The second bill is one similar to those that have transferred the public beds of Stony Creek and New Haven harbor, and in almost every harbor upon our shore, from the people, to whom they belonged, to wealthy men, and without compensation. This bill, if passed this year, will rob the poor man more than ever before, taking large share of what had been left for him.
 Will not the press speak a word for the thousands of poor men upon our shore and against one of the greatest monopolies, if not checked, that ever showed itself in our State? Will not the laboring man remem- Der that he is citizen with rights and priv ileges, and that he has power to help stay this great wrong upon him and his, even if he has not the means to present before the Leg islative committee his grievances?
