SHIPPING ITEMS. Three or four English
steamers are now employed in the Boston sugar
trade. They carry about 1900 hogSheads each,
and as they make saving in time and insur-
ance, steam will probably supersedesail vessels
in this trade......A bell buoy is to take the place

one of similar size and rig, both vessels to be
completed early next fall.....Mr. Minott of

lieved that the steamship City of Limerick,
which sailed from New York, january Sth for

FISH AND FISHING. Portland fishermen are
having remarkable run of luck stocking from
$50 to $40 per man on each trip......A gutted
market has made the smelt fishing Improbable
....Fresh fish are reported scarce at st. George.
The shore fishermen have caught none for some
time, and the trawlers report light catches......
Herring are again reported very scarce at st.
Andrews Bay and along the North Shore.
There is good demand for frozen herring and
prices have slightly advanced. The most of
the Waldoboro smelt shanties have been remov-
ed down the river; the catch this winter has
been much smaller than usual.

The Coming Elections.

1t was announced some weeks ago that the
coming election in this State was already attract
ing attention in Washington. and that politicians
there We're predicting an exciting campaign.
There can be no question but that the State elec-
ton TO be held in September next is most inn
portant one. 4 Governor is to be elected for
two wears: Legislature for two wears. that
will have the election of United States Stna-
tor, Representatives to Congress and county
officers: and from present appearances our Re-
representatives. in Congress will have to be elect
ed at large. The loss of a senator may deprive
the Republicans of their present control of the
L. :. Senate. and loss of Representatives
may defeat the Republican organization of the
next House. 1t is these facts which have thus
early caused discussion of the probable results
of our State election at the National Capitol.
and which give to that election national inn
portancc.
The duty of the Republicans is plain 1t is
not time for springing outside issues in,lulging
in personal animositieS. or promoting factiouS
quarrel>. The opportunity is afforded for re-
,leemin@ Maine from Fusion misrulr and pac-
ing her once more in her proper place in the Re-
publican column. The contest as we have
shown. is national aS well AS local in its charac-
ter. This will ensure outside assistance to our
opponents: and hence it is important that the
Republicans of Maine should enter upon the
campaign with unbroken ranks and unanmity
of purpose. In this connection the town and
city elections. now near At hand, assume an I'M
Wontrd significance, because Of the influence
they must have upon the September election
The kcnnebec journal well says: ''In every
town and every city in the State there is need of
wisdom in making the best selections for muni-
ripal officers. choosing those for candidates who
will combine capability efficiency and honesty
in the discharge of official duties. with personal
popularity among the voters. 1.-The
men who are elected to town and city offices in
the coming elections will have control of the
ballot-boXcs next September. They will decide
what names shall be placed upon the voting
lists. and what if any, shall be stricken Off In
the hands of Democrats, these powers are no
toriou~ly abused. 1t is not in the Southern
States alone that they prevent. when they can,
voters opposed to them exercising the right Of
suffrage, or counting out Republicans honestly
and fairly elected to office TO give their places
10 Democrats not elected. and in no WAY emit
tied to hold the offices given Them"
There should be no supinenesS or neglect
because of real or fanccd weakness and diyi-
>I"nS among our opponents: nor should the fact
t hat town has in former Years given large Flu
sion majority deter every Republican from put
ting his shoulder to the wheel If the town
cannot DE redeemed every vote gained will tell
on the general result in the State. The OPPOSE
ton is already at work; the Fusion newspapers
are calling upon their supporters to rally. and it

upon, we fear there would be sudden and
alarming increase in the number of Indians.

Congress has been in session nearly three
months but has accomplished little or nothing in
that time. and ii is thought il will not adjourn
until the middle or latter part of July next
This is not unusual, although ii is evident that
with each succeeding year the wheels of lc@Sla-
ton are more and more blocked by irrelevant
matter. The remedy is only to be found in
radical change of the rules governing the two
Houses, but more particularly the House Of
Representatives. All claims should be RELOCATED
to the court of claims where they can have
proper scrutiny: and a stop should b. put to the
printing and reference of thousands of absurd
measures which only serve to minister to the
vanity of member OF of his constituents.
Some members appear TO be ambitious to figure
in the Congressional Record as the father OF A
great number of bills, and others introduce
whatever may be sent them by their con>titu
cntS. This involves great Waste Of time and
money and DELAYS legitimate business. There
are many useless committees which should be
abolished and the working committees should
be increased in membership to allow of diyidin"
them into subcommittee for considering special
subjects. Several attempts have been made. at
different times. to bring about reforms in these
and other particulars. and their necessity be-
comes more and more apparent with each sue
ceeding session. Congress might and should
dispose of the public business. and give it full
consideration, in three months session. This
would be a gain to the country and to the MEM
