GENERAL MALONE is going for" the
members Of his party who refuse to support
Arthur, as savasely as he did forthose who
declined to support his Hancock ticket four
years ago. His own paper says
1.-The few men, who profess to be of u.s.
that may be opposed to Arthurs nomination,
are such as would sacrifice our cause and
defeat our party TO get place; they are men
who have been disappointed in their grasp
ing at office for themselves, or for members
of their families, or for their personal fol-
lowers, in the Interests Of their own ambi-
tons
The General brooks no opposition to his
own will He knows that he is the soul OF
his party-thas without him and bis money
it would be nothing; aud he Is, and not un-
naturally, determined TO do with it just
what he chooses. And his colored cohorts
will stick by him 10 The end-mow rapidly
approaching.

while the young colonies of Australia
and the plaius of Northern India have been
pouring their surplus grain into our markets,
and helped by the quota OF South American
States. the produce of the North American
prairies has been rotting in the granaries OF
Chicago. A variety of causes, chief of which
is their henighted tariff, combine to beat the
Western farmers III the race, and just as
they have suffered, so will the ranchman
and hog raiser suffer-
There can be no doubt about the truth of
this and the farmers of this State know it

Mr.. INGERsoLL and the negroes are in
favor OF Justice Harlan, Of the u S. Su-

is the only justice of that court who holds
that the civil rights bill is constitutional.
That opinion might be the means of obtain
Ing Mr.. Harlan the republican nomination,
but it will ever constitute an e6'ectual bar

At ONE haul Of the Seine at the White
House yesterday twelve shat! were caught.
At ono haul there twenty-five years ago
thirty-sx hundred shad were caught. For
twenty Years the shad and herring fisheries
OF the Potomac, once 50 fruitful, have been
steadily and rapidly failing. Many OF the
fishing shores that once rented ior thousands
of dollars are now not fShel ut all, and the
few that ure fshcd, though they rent for a
mere song, are Improbable to the renters
So far rs tested by the experience OF the
Potomac, fish culture is a failure, for though
millions of young shad have been turned
loose in it every spring for several years
past. the catches show either that few OF
them reach maturity, or. if they do, that
they don't come back to their native shores.
