THE FISHERY. ALL agree tina, the catch
"t fish this season will not reach anything
like that of last season. Various reasons, Of
course, are given for this falling of, among
them the continued cold weather. While
The catch has been comparatively small the
prices hlye cnntinucd high, and, i. is
thought, the fishermen will ito quite as well
as last year. The steamer VIM Gates,
which has been engaged from the first ofthc
season running fish to Washington. made
her last trip yesterday, and returned to her

The President and Silver.

That the president would in his message renew his former attack on the standard silver dollar was to be expected. It IS made in this form
 ''In respect to the coinage of sill yer dollars and the retirement of silver certificates, 1 have seen moth. ing to alter, but much to confirm the sentiments to which gave express ion last year. A comparison between the respective amounts of silver dol lars in circulation on November l, 1882, shows slight increase of q million and half of dollars, but during the interval there had been In the whole number coined, an in crease of twenty-siX millions. Of the hundred and twenty eight mil lions thus far minted little more than thirty five millions are in circu latlon. The mass of accumulated coin has grown so great that the vault room at present available for storage is scarcely sufficient to con fine it. It is not apparent why it is desirable to continue this colnage, now so enormously Tn excess of the public demand"
 He also urges retirement of silver certificates, because of the issue of gold certificates. The paragraph quoted compels the conclusion that the total coinage of standard silver dollars has added only $35, ,000 to the currency actually in circula- tion. This the president accomplish es by sappresslng an important fact. He omits reference to tue fact that to the 5,000.000 standard silver actually in circulation must be added $70,000,000 in silver certificates, rep resenting 70,000,000 standard dollars in the treasury vaults. So the peo- pie have the benefit of over $l O5, ,OOO, 900 of the coinage of standard dol lars, instead of only $35, ,00O, as inferred from the presidents decep- tive statement, which was made to confound and mislead persons who do not investigate these questions.
 It is the presidents desire that all the greenback and gold and silver certificates be retired, thab the ma. tional banks may furnish the only paper currency He also desires that all the standard silver dollars be thrown into the melting pot, and gold made the only standard of val uc To accomplish this his object is to first stop the slver coinage, and then displace the silver in the treas ury vaults. He will fail in his f. nancial programme signally as he did in the political programme the people condemned so emphatically in the late elections. Little Rock Ga zette.

from all such lands as appear erro- neously returned. am authorized to say by MT, Hall, the attorney for Eugene Caffrey, ct al, that he does nos desire to work any hardship on parties who have paid their taxes and hold receipts; that he intended only to reach those lands on which the taxes were due and unpaid.
 All persons having any legal cause, whatever, to show why their lands should not be offered for sale on the 10th & 12th days of January, 1883, will please make them known, and whatever can be done to satisfy law and justice will receive prompt attention.
 l have been hurried to get the list ready for publication--copsequent some lands are included in the list on which I feel sure the taxes have been paid. All persons interested will please examine the list, and re. port if they hold tax receipts and send them up.
 Persons wishing to redeem can do so at any time before the. day of sale.
 Very respectfully,

Sale of Real Estate for Overdue

By authority of a final decree rendered in the Pope Chanoery Court on the 11th day of November 1882, in a suit brought by Eugene M. Caffry, on relation of the State of Arkansas, against certain lands therein named, to enforce the payment of overdue taxes, said decree. es.ssstiiaring a lien to exist upon the lands and town lots and blocks hereafter described, for the aggregate amount of the taxes, pen alty and costs, and the costs of this action as is set opposite each tract below de- scribed:
 I, H. $. Carter, as special Commissions CT appointed in said decree to execute
 the same, will on the 10th day of Janua- " 1883, and on the days following until
 the sale is completed, between the hours of 10 o'clock, a. m. and 4 o'clock D. m. on said days. offer for sale at public out cry, the several tracts of land, town lots and blocks herein described, situated in
 Pope county, Arkansas, for the said az gregate amount of taxes, penalty and all costs at the front door of the Court house in the town of Dover, in Pope county, ,.Arkansas, said property will be offered and sold in subdivisions to the persons offering to pay said aggregate amount of the taxes, penalty and costs aforesaid, for the least portion of the tract or town lot or block offered, the same to be laid off in a square in the north east corner of said tract or town lot or block thus offered. If no person will offer to pay the said aggregate amount for less than the whole of such tract or town lot or block, then the whole of each tract, town or lot or block will be sold for the aggregate amount.
 All purchasers at said sale will be re- quired to pay promptly on the day of sale. the amount of their bids; In de- fault thereof the property will again be offered for sale.
The Russellville Democrat., 1882-12-14

IN ANOTHER column will be found the list of lands forfeited by decree of court at the last term in the case of E. M. Caffry vs. certain lands on which taxes are due and unpaid. A perusal of the list and the letter of Mr. Potts, clerk of Pope county, might be to the advantage of the reader. The law to enforce the pay
 ment of overdue taxes may, in the
 main, work hardship, but it will do some good, as it will in the future in sure the payment of taxes on lands that have not for years been bearing their share of the burden. The ''tax
 dodger" has no show under this law. If any one finds his land listed in the present list and holds a receipt for taxes paid thereon, he can have the
 error corrected by calling on Mir. Potts at Dover before the day of sale.

The MOrmonS.

The Utah Commission in report to the secretary of the interior, rec ommends that q marriage law be en- acted by congress which would form an auxiliary Tn the suppression of polygamy. The commission say that, owing to the peculiar state of affairs in Utah, the territorial law allowing women the right of suffrage in an ob- struction to speedy solution of ''the vexed question" and should be re- pealed or annulled by congress. The commission say the law so far has been a decided success excluding poIygamists from the exercise ofsuf- frage, and they are of tine opinion that steady and continued enforce ment of the law will place polygamy in a condition of gradual extinction. The commission notices as an en- couraging sign that many of the ''li bera'' meetings have beer largely attended by Mormons, and that these meetings have been character ized by exceptional good order and good humor. In conclusion, the re- port says, after counselling modera tion: If, however. the next session of the legislative assembly elected under the act of congress shallfaina respond to the will of the natduHfp, Hfp congress should have no hesitation in using extraordinary measures to compel the people of this territory to obey the laws of the land"
