Mr. Hatch read telegram from Lafayette, lnd'
declaring that the cattle interests Of Indiana de-
mended the passage OF the pending bill.
Mr. Weller thought that there were provisions
In the bill which were in the interest Of cattle

OF the great northwest.
Mr. Elwood. while advocating the general pro-
visions OF the bill, declared that IL was badly
| framed, and gave notice ofa number Of amend-
ments which he would offer. He was opposed TO
turning the government into large slaughter
house.
The constituuonality Of the bill was discussed
| pro and con by Messrs. Weaver, of Nebraska
Reagan. Of Texas, and Hart Of Ohio
Mr.. Dunham asserted that II was the duty OF
congress to take measures to stamp out the dis
ease Of pleuro-pueumonia.
| Mr.. Wilson presented the reasons why the bill
should be given speedy passage.
| Mr.. Randall advocated resolution, which he
proposed TO offer at the proper time, reoommiting

Useful Information,

Don't believe all you read. Don't
believe too quickly half you read.
Don't believe anything as regards
thought, opinion or assertion until
you've run it through the mill of
your own Judgment and have seen if
it energies without flaw. Remem-
Der that a book is general, one
mans talk on paper. Remember
that his conclusions and deductions
are often based on other mems state
ments which time may prove partly
or wholly wrong. Remem Der that
it is easy to err with the pen as with
the tongue. Remember that for
two men to give the same account of
the event of which both are witness
es is extremely rare Remember
that no conscientious author can
read what he wrote twenty five years
ago without finding many opinions
and assertions which will make him
squirm and feel like hunting for a
hole to hide his head in. Remem
Der that the man, be hc writer or
not, who all his days sticks to one
opinion, sinply because it is his
opinion, ceases % grow intellectually
and inprisons himself in his own
dogmatism. Remember that the
man who is searching for the truth
must give up his mistaken convic.
tons, no matter how dear they may
be to him.

The Democratic Situation.

The Democratic situation is not as
bright rs it ought to be and would be
but for the extraordinary conduct of
faction of the Democrats. notably.
Mr.. Randall. lie was defeated for
Speaker and ever since, he has been
active in tomenting discord by array
ing the views of the democratic pro
tee tionists against those OF the party
The republicans have large MAORI
ty III his Congressional district and
yet he succeeds by a considerable
majority. And why? Because he
supports their protective policy. In
Congress the revenue democrats are
largely in the ascendant, and in the
United States constitute more than
three-fourths Of the party and yet
Nj. Randall and bis fellows want
tao party to yield to their protective
views. To do that would be to des-
troy the party, macerate its princi-
pies and spike its guns in the ap.
preaching contest. The protective
tariff democrats as we now plainly
see, are to the democratic party what
the parasitical nistletoe is to the ir q
upon which it grows. 1t adds nc
strength and is all the time sappinq
vital and growth.

Railroad lsumors.

The statement in the Americas
Recorder that a delegation of railroad
men hal been in conference with
President Raoul, and that he had
made them the proposition that if
the people of Americus would grade
the road east from Americas to Flint
river or Vienna, and there stop, the
Central would iron, equip and oper-
ate the road, and would do the same
by road from Americus to Lump
kin, created some remark in railroad
cilcles. The Recorder further stated
that the delegation was unanimously
in favor of accepting the proposition
as it would make the entereSts of
Americus and the Central Railroad
the same, and if it be followed up by a
spirit of Cancellation the Central would
aid in building up the city by giving
fair and eq litable rates.
A Morning News reporter called
upon President Raoul yesterday with
the inquiry whether the work would
probably be carried out as the report
OF the delegation suggested. Mr..
Raoul replied that several gentlemen
had called upon him in reference to
the construction aud equipment OF
roads; but that, 80 far as his making
any proposition was concerned, he
had made none. The delegation,
had urged the Central's taking an in
terest in the construction OF the pro-
posed roads. and he had said that
he would Law the matter before tbs
directors, bnt nothing further. SIN

The Verdict thar Led to Riot.

The grand jury, which Investigate
ed the late riots says a Cincinnati
special of the It'll inst, 10 the New
York Times, is believed TO Lave be. N
placed in possession of testimony of
sensational character. It is still
publishing its Investigation, and it
will probably be continued for some
days to come.
Michael Mcclure, one of the jury
who precipitated the trouble BY find
ing Berner, selfconfsssed murderer,
guilty of only manslaughter. made
a statement to a reporter that throws
much light upon the method by which
that wonderful verdict was reached.
He says that between the ballots
games of cards were played for mo-
ney, and minated that those who
won were not afterward as strenuous
for Berners conviction. He says
that after retiring to the jury room
the foreman, A. +. Shaw, suggested
thar they tai Q ballot at once, and
urged him (McGuire) to vote s'Not
guilty" Shaw and one other Juror
wrote the ballots and banded one to
him. 1t read "Not guilty" He
threw it into the hat and then took it
out and voted for murder in the first
degree. He says that there was no
open discussion of the q estion OF Ber-
ner's guilt bat four Of the jurors, in
Guiding the foremal, held whispered
consultations after every ballot was
taken. The foreman, after one Of
the ballots announced that it was
unanimous for manslaughter. Nc
CURE declared that il could not be
possible, for he had voted for murder
in the first degree, and thought Ju-
ror Merrill Lad voted for murder in
the second degree. Mcclure says
Shaw was a good talker, aud fnanly
influenced Merrill to vote Manslaugh-
ter. At last he (McGuire) was fore
ed to also vote for manslaughter.
AS soon as this vote was taken they
were rushed out to the court room
and the verdict read. He thought
of making an explanation to the
Judge, but was deferred from doing
SO by Shaw, who told him that the
Judge wanted them to return ver-
dict Of manslaughter, and was pleas
ed with it.
Mcclure has been before the
grand jury, and, it is believed, made
before it q much fuller and more
startling statement than the one
given to the press.

Carp For Geosgans.

Special Correspondent of the Chronicle.
Atlanta, April 2l.-Travellng with
DIR. III. II. Cary, our State Fish Com.
missioner, / learned that there are
now in the Stale of Georgia 5000
carp pounds, which is an average of
~ to the country. Middle Georgia
has more of them than any other sec
ton OF the State, and Bib county
leads her section of the state. Con
gresham J. H. Blount has been very
active IN distributing fish among his
constituents aud to his constituents
aud to his zeal i'll tha matter is very
largely due the superiority of his
county and section in this new and
important industry;
The government began in 1877,
with about 50 fish, aud stocked
ponds all over the Union In 1878
8 the first distribution Of 700 was
made in Georgia. In 1879 so there
were then 5000 given out; the next
year 5000 fish. Altogether about
$4,000 young fish have been allotted
to Georgia. aud the result is the
5000 ponds. The majority of
these are successfully run. MIR.
Heyser, of Madison, has series Of
10 or II ponds in the edge of the
place, and sells all that can be raised
for breeding purposes, to stoek new
ponds. This seems to be pretty
much the case all over the
State.
1 was much interested in Dr.. Ca
rvs statement. There is a general
interest in this matter Of fish culture.
Of course some men who do not go
into it intelligently and with proper
knowledge are making failures But
the success is certain when sthe
culture is properly done.
The carp as an eating fish is better
than mullet or perch, though not
fully up to shad. With large carp
the bones give no trouble, the fish
taking off nicely. Mr.. Baird, the
United States Fish Commissioner
had 229 correspondents out of 242
write praisiugly Of the quality
OF the carp as an
edible. The carp grows to
pounds weight in three years in the
cooler climates, and will reach 10 to
Is pounds in the same time under
favorable condition Of warmer climate
and shorter winters. A female carp
years old will spawn half a million
eggs. II not fed, an acre pond will
raise $500 carp worth $500.
