fine, season with pepper and salt. Drain
the oysters, setting the liquor aside.
Now take very sharp knife and peel

careful not to have any of the bitter and
tough white skin left on; cut the peel

croppie, were secured during the year and
distributed to every stream In the State
crossed BY railroad with which a con.
tract for transportation could be effected.
In taking these fish it's shown that at least
five young tish of different kinds, not dc
sirable for planting in the interior streams,
were taken for every one OF the desirable
kinds. These excluded fish were all trans.
terred to the nearest streams, 20 that The
work resulted in saving the lives Of not
less than 10000 fish that would other
wise have persisted by the drylngup OF the
ponds where they were stranded. The ma
i've food fishes saved III this way were
distributed to nearly hundred different
points in the state, being the practical
stocking OF about sixty streams capable OF
supporting them we'll and producing them
in abundance.

chancellor saalsbury's opinion.

The announcement that Chancellor sauls-
bury sent to the Senate, Yesterday, his opIu-
ion on the questions touching upon the
power Of the Legislature to increase the re-
presentation Of New Castle county in the
General Assembly and divide the State into
election districts, will cause some surprise,
as the prevailing idea was that the judges
10 whom the question was referred would
hold consultation upon the subject and
present all their opinions at the same time.
However, it makes very little difference
whether Chancellor Saulsbury's response Is
presented by itself or in company with the
others, as its tone and effect would be the
same, in either event. In the Chancellor's
opinion any increase in the General Assem-
bly,, effected by mere Legislative
enactment, must be divided equally
between the three counties, so that
New Castle county would not be one whit
better of in the event of an increase than
nder the existing condition Of affairs.
should the Judges Of the Superior Court
concur in this opinion, Constitutional
amendments or a Constitutional Convention
NNtdd bS tAN ONiJ VI
Since the Chanceilor's opinion has thus
been made public there will be an intense
eagerness on the part OF the people inter
ested to learn tho views of the other judges
ia this important matter. Up to the assem-
bling OF the present session Of the
Legislature the disfranchised citizens
Of New Castle county had no hope
Of redress except by the pro.
tracted methods OF convention or amend
ment, but the intelligent research Of Speaker
Bates, and his resolution calling for the
opinion OF the State judiciary as to the
power Of the General Assembly to effect the
long-needed reform by tue ordinary process
Of legislation, raised the expectations Of the
people and caused many to believe that the
day of deliverance was at hand.
However, we can but possess our souls
with patience, and If Chancellor saulsbury's
views are maintained by the other legal
minds TO which the matter was referred, we
must, perforce, wait few years longer for
justice to be done to New Castle county
in the matter Of representation. If, on the
contrary, the Judges sustain Speaker Bates
views as to the power of the Legislature to
grant the desired relief, there is every reason
to hope that it will be done at the present
session.
