1t seems that we in common with all
our villagers, were mistaken in stating
that the investigating committee had ter
minated ITS labors 1t held another session
on Tuesday, at which the road supervisors
were present rs witnesses. and another
yesterday. We were lei into the error bv
the action OF the committee in refusing to
disclose to any one what it had done or
proposed to do, by the statement of one
of its members, which was communicated
to us, on the last 81 urday on which they
sat. that their labors would terminate on
that day, and by the long recess the com
mittee took. We make the amende to the
committee for our mistake. and shall re-
main entirely quiet concerning he matter
of their investigation until they are heard
from through their report. 1t is to be
hoped, however, that if the committee
find, as we believe they will find, that they
are unable to make a satisfied Dry eXami-
nation without going back behind the one
fiscal year they limited themselves to,that
they will request the court to extend the
scope of their power 81 that they can make
i thorough and comprehensive examina-
ton There can be no doubt that the
public opinion Of the county demands a
thorough examination into this matter,
and the commissioners are certainly en-
titled to such an examination.

making this change, Mr.. Nimmo, Chief of

these grounds: First, that it would create an

ly, that the Geological Survey and Bureau

The Annapolis correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun says that committee of
Annapolis fishermen went to Baltimore
today to confer with the packers in refer
ence to general law proposed for the ac-
ton of the next Legislature to regulate
the catching Of fish in the waters of the
State. Some of the counties, among them
Queen Anne's, Somerset and Kent, have
local laws governing their waters prohib-
iting the interference of foreign seine
haulers. 1t is stated that an effort will be
made before the Legislature to establish
local laws for all the counties, which will
require seine-haulers 10 confine their work
to their own county. This is claimed to
be great disadvantage to the fishing in
forests Of the State, and its adoption, it is
said, will be hardship not only to the
county people, but to Baltimore packers
who receive large orders from local fisher
men. The Annapolis fishermen are under
stood to be satisfied with the present local
laws established, but will strenuously OBJ
ject to making them more general in their
scope. A State law imposing tax on each
vessel engaged in the fishery trade, and con-
fining the license only to residents of the
State, is suggested as means of keeping
nonresidents from the rivers, and will be
recommended to the Legislature in case
the fishery question comes up for consid-

A jury in Jefferson City the other day
had singular question presented to it for
decision. A tornado had destroyed the
house of Mr.. Joseph Baker in Missouri,
and he, averring that tornadoes are cleo
trio storms, demanded that the company
which had insured his house against light
ming should pay the loss. Experts were
heard on the question whether tornadoes
are electric storms or not, and the Judge
charged the jurors that if they found cleo
tricity to be the predominant and cotroll
ing force in tornado, they should give a
verdict for the plaintiff. The jury con-
cluded that tornadoes are not electric
storms, and accordingly returned verdict
for the defendant. Now there is chance
fer somebody to start tornado insurance
company.

mics are trying to take comfort from the

sidering the amount of trouble he causes
to the beautiful and good people of Mas

During the late election in the First
Congress ional district of North Carolina
the celored citizens appear to have GU
loose in large numbers from their allegi
auce to the Federal officer holders who
have hitherto controlled their votes. They
insist that their political serfdom to par
ty which uniformly fails to extend them
proper recognition as citizens has become
intolerable. The spirit of independence
seems to be gaining ground, and the col
ored men who are throwing off the yoke
will never have occasion to regret it.
