The Fish Law.

Discussing the fsh law, the Southern
Industries says;
Is it possible, in the face Of the bcnc-
fits derived by the citizens Of the State
from the very lcnient law now in force,
that our Iaw.giyers will wantonly repeal
it? Fish in abundance in the streams
and lakes Of y commonwealth are the
food-oicrings of the Almighty, and are
entitled, at least, to mans protection.
Almost every state in the Union not
only has fish laws, but many Of them
hatchercs aud paid commissioners to
better insure the care Of the fish. The
laws in all Of those States where they
exist are stringent and strictly enforced,
yet the citizens acqniescc, and assist the
officers Of the law to enforce them. In
Tennessee the law simply protects the
fish against the outrageous traps, selnes,
snare nets, and other wholesale slaugh'
tcring appliances in use by pot-iishers.
Why, therefore, repeal the law ? With
in the last two years Of its existence,
fish have increased prodigiously in cv'
cry stream in the State. Instead Of
repeating the law, our legislators should
so amend il as to make the infringcrs OF
it suffer severe penalties.
The repeal of the law would give in
finite dissatisfaction to n large class OF
our best citizens, and therefore our
representatives might do well to consid.
er the comparative value Of the appli'
cants in the premises, and thus deter
mine whether it would not be better t.
cater to the wishes Of the solid people
and serve the interests Of the State than
Weld to the selfish clamor Of the vandal
istic polishing class Of their constit
ucnts. But few States Of the Union are
so favored with streams in every par
Of its territory adapted to fish culture
as Tennessee. With proper protection
the people Of every county in the State
can in Il few years have an abundant
supply OF fish food. 10 our legislator.
our people must look for this protection
and realization eff these inestimablC
benefits.

The South and the Yankees.

The Memphis Appeal, in speaking Of

servatsm. A revenue tariff, a protect
i've tariff and free trade arc the issues
The former is system Of custom duties
which excludes all determinations as to
the amount of the duties imposed upon
the varied articles Of import except such
as have exclusive reference to the
amount Of revenue to be raised.
The second is a system of imposts lev
led on foreign goods 20 that the price on
them may be raised and thus prevent
their sale at bwer prices than the
home production.
Free trade abolisbes all tariff duties
on foreign imports, and proposes to sup
port the general government by sys'
TEN Of direct taxation. A sophism is Il
rerenHe-tariff with incidental protection,
and is in its text which says with in
cidcntal protection" which means that
while the duties are imposed for the ex-
elusive purpose Of raising revenue to
support the government, discriminates
and isadjusted as to the amount imposed
on different articles with reference to
equality of the public burdens and en-
enlargement and protection Of articles
Of domestic production. This is the
veriest bosh, and means protection in
another shape, hence while trimmers
may seek to use this mystifed cxplana-
ton Of what kind Of a tariff is the most
desirable for the best interests Of the
country, they may as well put on a pro
tcctive cap and smoke the calumet OF
peace with the fosterers of the true prin.
ciplcs Of protection and join with us IN
the proposition that what the American
people want is protective tariff that
protects trade from abuses, and happily
adapted to the varied interests Of the
country. Our people don't want the
tariff explained to them by principles o.
arithmetical progression. Too many
figures confuse US; what is wanted is 4
plain statement Of facts. Can our man
ufacturers sustain themselves without
protection? The universal sentiment il
that they cannot. Can the masses O.
our country improve, We may say main
tain their line Of self support, if the
:. standard Of profitable manufacturing il
lowered? We argue they cannot. Il
this is the case, intelligence improves
the theory Of protection.
a mooted argument is that protection
is antagonistic to the interests of thu
strictly producing sections Of the coun
try. This is an absurd idea, fallac,
in its entirety. The reservoir int,
which the wealth of the producing sec

Too Much Legislation.

The GAINESVILLE Tobacco Leaf makes
the following sensible remarks;
Members of the Legislature should
not make the mistake Of thinking that
unless they can Introduce aud secure
the passage Of several bills they will
have accomplished nothing. There is
no more valuable member of II lcgisla-
tive body than he who prevents the pas
sage Of bills. We have too much legis-
lalon, too many laws, too many chan
gcs. One Legislature cnacts laws ma
king radical changes. Hardly has the
law begun to be understood and becohc
valuable before another Legislature
meets, composed of new members, and
the laws enacted by the preceding Leg
islaturc are sought to be repealed,
