Working Effectively in the Ranks.

w
The correspondent Of the Ne1cS and
Courier, in his glowing account OF the
first gun Of the campaign at Pickens
on the 23rd ult., says that Hon. George
Johnstone delivered a logical and ef-
fective address. His chief points were
that the Republican party was one OF
intense sectional ideas, party OF sell
fish interests and one disposed to SUBJ
ject one section of the country to the
domination of the other. He investi-
gated the causes which prevented
coalition OF political sentiment and
aptly and eloquently compared the
condition of the Republican party OF
the Union now to that OF the Republi-
can party of South Carolina while un-
der Radical rule. He showed how it
had degenerated into party of repu-
diation. He dwelt on the question OF
the donation of the public domain to
corporations and monopoliSts who
again sell them to the people from
whom it was stolen. He then went
into the personal history of Blaine and
held him up as man, self-convicted
and absolutely unworthy OF the public
confidence he courted. This was evil
dent. he said, to large proportion Of
the Republican party itself.
Mr.. Johnstone's remarks were heard
with the earnest attention they de-
served and produced an evident effect.
The correspondent in his account OF
the meeting at Walhalla on the 25th.
says: The Hon. George Johnstone,
although not on the list of the speak
ers for the day, was loudly called for
by the meeting, and in response de-
livercd a short but stirring address, in
| which he Incorporated scathing ar
raignment of Blaine and pointed ont
the endeavor made by the Republicans
in their National platform to revive
the principles of the Known othing
| party.
At the Anderson meeting on the
26th Mr.. Johnstone announced the
nomination by the Republicans OF a
| full State ticket. He said he could
hardly realize it as fact that it was
intended seriously to surrender the
State at this day into the hands OF
such crew. lie said that the propo-
sition they had made could only have
but one effect, and that was to arouse
the people all over the State to know
ledge of their danger, and to incite
them to look that danger squarely in
the face. He then very appropriately
recalled certain chapters in the history
of the State previous to 1876, and said
that at this late day the scenes OF
those dark days could better be i'm
agined than described. With the op-
portunity and text offered Mr.. John
stone made ringing speech in favor
of the maintenance OF the present
government and stamping out of eX-
! istence the Infamous ticket nominated
by the Republicans.

Accidentally Shot.

AcclOenCalIS onOC.
On last Wednesday night, the 24th
ult., Mr.. VIM. H. Blease called on
Messrs. James Singleton and A. II.
Blease to go with him to Helena to ar
rest one Wash Carwile, colored, for
breach of the peace. Mr.. Blease had
a warrant for his arrest. While watch
ing Carwile's house Mr.. Singleton
heard noise, and thinking that per-
haps it was the accused, under the
house, he stopped down to look ior
him, when the pistol, which he held
cooked, was accidentally discharged,
the ball entering his (Singleton'S) leg
about two inches above the knee, and
ranging down in the calf of the leg,
making only flesh wound, but very
painful one. Mr.. Blease called on our
good friend Zobcl for his wagon and
horse to carry the wounded man home.
He responded promptly, rs ne always
does when called upon for favors.
Drs. MeIatoSh and Glider probed
for the ball, but did not succeed in ex-
tracting it. They say that there is no
danger of its making a stiff leg. Mr..
Singleton is improving fast, we are
pleased to say. Mr.. Blease begs US to
thank Mr.. Zobel for himself and his
wounded friend for his kindness.
The pistol is 44-calibre and belongs

Lake Erie and the Niagara River fur
nish thirty-seven marketable varieties
of fish. Tut their numbers are bcconl-

great measure to so many fish being

fish spawn late in thesall; the Eastern
salmon, salmon trout, whitefish. brook
trout and lake herring belong to this
class, but the majority spawn in April.
Nav or early June. Black lass choose
a place for their spawn-beds where the
water is shallow and the bottom il,
sandy gravel. They leave their winter
quarters in deep water n month or six
weeks previous to spawning. The
eggs hatch In from one or two weeks,
according to the temperature. Bass
are very prolific. yielding fully one
