The Situation.

Senator j. d. Cameron delivered
the following speech in vindication of
the Republicans in the Senate in their
support of Mr.. Malone, United States
Senator from Virginia. Senator Ma
hone voted with the Republicans in
the organization of the Senate:
Mr.. PRESIDENT: / venture to In
trude for a moment upon the atten-
ton OF the Senate, and 1 feel reason
ably assured that if l do not add to
the information of this honorable
body, ! will not detract from the
good spirit which has heretofore
marked this debate. Since l find that
my absence was the occasion of so
much eloquencc, 1 am not sorry that
1 felt sufficiently unwell to ask the
honorable Senator from South Caro-
lima Mr.. Butler] to take upon him.
self the double duty of endurance
for few days. 1 am back refreshed
and quite willing to extend the cour-
tesy which L received TO any other
member of this body who may be in
need of it, and can safely promise
that nobody on this side OF the Sen
ate viii make speeches in prose or
poetry at the expense of the absent
Senator
! cannot, however, allow my posi-.
ton or that of the Senators acting
with nee to be misrepresented, al
though done IN the best of humor.
After repeated votes had established
that majority Of the members of
this body desired to change its off
GERS, our opponents announced by
their acts as well as by their words
that they had decided that a minor
ity of this body was determined to
retain the present officers. The issue
was too plain to be misunderstood.
We said that majority had a right
to decide that question. Our oppo-
nents said that the minority had the
right to decide it, 1 said it seemed
then to be a question of endurance.
and 1 really do not see what else it
can pretend to be. The general doc
trine that the majority is entitled to
rule is not called in question. The
right of the majority of the Senate
to elect its own officers is not called
in question. The minority simply
says to the majority, "We will not
allow you to exercise your undoubted
right, because we Will resort to dila-
tory motions, to long and eloquent
speeches and to political quotations
until you are weary of the struggle
and allow us TO have our own way."
We cannot afford to abandon the
right of a majority to rule because
the minority makes it a mere matter
of endurance of how long we will
endure dilatory motions and dilatory
speeches. We must endure them
just as long as the minority choose
to intiict them upon u.s.
The contest in which we are en-
gagged is not simply to secure the
officers and employees of party friends
as the Senator's on the other side pre-
tend, nor is it solely a struggle of
the majority to maintain its rights to
control the organization of the body.
There is something higher than, and
above all this; something the great
importance of which.has not escaped
the attention of our opponents here
1t is the coming political contest in

The following is from a Virginia
newspaper: The thief who would
capture the prize for audacity now
languishes in durance vile in Rich
mond, Va. He WAS convicted of
stealing a mule, and had just re-
ceived sentence of four years IN the
penitentiary; but, regardless of the
lessons impaired by the grave Judge
in his charge, and his prospective in
carceration, he gathered IN conve-
nient. hat belonging to one of the
Jurors who had convicted him and
secreted it under his coat. The act
was witnessed alike by court, jury
and spectators, and the gravity due
to the halls of justice was consider
ably disturbed by the shouts of laugh
ter which followed the ludicrouA
scene.

il for shad. They would clean and
salt the shad on the river shore, put
them in barrels and return home
The common price of shad was'three
and four cents each. Besides shad
there were many other kinds OF food
fish. the most noted among them was
the old Susquehanna salmon weigh
ing as high as fifteen pounds Inc
salmon we're considered even supe-
rior to the shad and commanded a
higher price. They were caught IN
seines. on hooks and lines, and were
the sport to the gigger at night Hes
copeck Falls, directly opposite Ber-
wick near where the Nescopeck creek
empties into the river, was a noted
place for salmon fishing with hook
and line. Men standing on the shore
with long poles and lines, would often
in drawing out the fish, lodge them
in the branches of the trees, g1ving
them the appearance of salmon pro
ducing trees. The shad fisheries,
which / have alluded to, were not
common property. The owner of the
soil was the owner of the fishery and
no one was allowed to fish without
permit. Tte owners of the fisheries
also had seines and when not using
them, they would hire them out to
others and take their pay in shad.
The seiners share was always one
half the catch. Shad were caught
both night and day in seines. AT the
Webb fishery / have known eleven
and twelve thousand shad taken at
one haul. These fisheries were al
WAYS considered and used as source
of great pleasure, value and profit,
and everybody depended on them for
their annual fish and table supply.
1t was considered the cheapest and
best food by all. Immediately after
the erection OF the river dams, the
shad became scarce, the seines rotted,
the people mur1nured, their avoca-
ton was gone, and many old fisher
men cursed Nathan Beach for hold
ing the plow and the driver of the
six yokes of oxen that broke the
ground at Berwick, for the Pennsyl-
vania Canal. The people suffered
more damage in their common food
supply, than the State profted by
her ..internal improvement, as it was
called. Although eighty-nine years
old to-d:%, 1 hope still to live long
enough to see all the distractions
removed from one end of the noble
Susquehanna river to the other, and
that the old stream may yet furnish
cheap food TO two millions of people
along its banks and that may stand
again on the shore Of the old Webb
fishery and witness another haul of
ten thousand shad. All of which is
most respectfully submitted for the
consideration of the honored Society,
which you have the honor to repre-
sent.

Virginia. The Senator from Virginia
who sits nearest me has terrified the
old Democratic regime of his State
by his courageous bearing on this
floor. They seem to have entertain
ed hope that with their malediction
still ringing in his ears he would for
get his own purposes and save his
Democracy by consorting with the
enemies of his people Disappoint-
ed in their expectation, they appeal
to Southern Senators here to SO cover
him with opprobrium that his follow
ers at home will not dare to share
his fortunes. The Republicans in this
body and elsewhere see clearly that
the assaults made upon him here are
to punish him for his refusal to obey
the orders issued to him He has
committed the unpardonable sin OF
doing that which his enemies only
profess to do. He has made politi-
cal slavery impossible in Virginia.
He has championed the cause of hon
est elections. He is about to lead In
a final struggle in the Old Dominion
for obedience to law in elections. He
has our sympathies in this good work.
We know his good work in his State
is giving to all citizens, black and
white, equal rights before the law.
In the coming State election the
struggle Will be a bitter one. I be
ieve the right is going to prevail, for
the law-abiding citizens of Virginia
who were confederates will go into
that great contest with the knowl
edge that our hearts are with them
Our colored friends in the State viii
be glad TO see that we share their
confidence in these well-tried friends,
and they will continue to give Gen
eral Malone the hearty support he
has already earned and received at
their hands.
All Virginia will see that the great
North fraternizes will all ex-confed-
crates in the South who are known
by their acts as well as by their words
to be in favor of an honest ballot
and fair count. The election of
Colonel Riddleberger to response
bile Office in this body will be the best
proof that could be given that for all
time, for men who uphold the laws
the Republican party has confidence,
respect and cooperation. We give
our votes to that gentleman as an
earnest that we are not sectional, and
that we have no preiudices on ac-
count of old conflicts.
Whoever is right at the present
time is our friend, and we are his.
This, and this only, is the bargain we
have to offer to all our Southern
friends who will come out from the
party of reaction and grow ON with
the nations growth. All that We ask
is that they shall stand with rs in
favor of securing to each lawful voter
the right to cast one free and unin-
timidated ballot and to have that bal
lot honestly counted. We know, our
know, that if Virginia
takes her stand upon that platform
the solid South is thing of the past,
and this is the true meaning OF the
present struggle.

The North .gmerican has this to say
concerning the project for the re-
moval of the State Capitol to Harris
burg: THE regular renewal at every
session of the State Legislature OF
the project for the removal of the
State Capitol from Harrisburg to
Philadelphia has degenerated into a
discreditable farce, the only effect of
which is to give force to the preju-
dice against the city always prevalent
in the rural districts. 1t is high time
that the movement were abandoned
finally"
