THE FISH L1W.
They Cannot be Enforced because
of an Injunction.

OF an Injunction.
On our first page concerning the
State's jurisdiction over the Delaware
there was partially incorrect statement
to the effect that the matter had been
twice decided by the United States
Supreme Court. The statement was used
in connection with Delaware's power to
enforce the provisions of her new fish
law prohibiting non-residents from
catching fish in the river within
the boundaries of the 10 mile
original grant confines. The question of
jurisdiction came up in connection with a
law similar to the one just passed, and
after much fruitless endeayor ut arbitra-
ton the matter was taken to the Supreme
Court, where the New Jersey fishermen
succeeded in procuring an injunction
against enjoining the State of Delaware, its
officers, agents and servants, to 'desist and
refrain from imposing any tax, assessment
or imposition whatsoever, by way of
license free or otherwise, upon any citizen
or resident of the state of New Jersey,
and from requiring them, or any of them
to take license from or under the State
of Delaware for right or authority to fish
in the river Delaware, as they have
heretofore been accustomed to do before
the interference of the said State
of Delaware, MS mentioned in said order
and from arresting, imprisoning, trying
filming or in any manner Furnishing, OIL
Selling, holding or selling any propert.
of any citizen or resident of New Jerse,
for fishing in said river as aforesaid, unit
the said court shall make other order t
the contrary"
In the opinion of several lawyers herr
the Injunction still continues i'll force
inasmuch as it has not been dissolved, ant
that, therefore, the officers of the State o
Delaware cannot enforce the law agains
fishing in the Delaware, though they cal
| prohibit the New Jersey fishermen iron
landing OF shipping from Delaware.

Special Correspondence Of Gazette and Journal.
DENTON, MD. April 8.-The circuit court
for the April term was promptly called
by Associate Judge Stump on Monday
morning. William @. Satterfeld, Esq,
was appointed foreman of the grand jury.
The time of the court has been occupied
in the trial of some unimportant cases.
Yesterday several indictments for viola
ton of the local option law of this
county were disposed of. Most of these
were for selling wine. The defendant
was sworn in the case and testified that
the liquid in question was grape cider or
Juice in which fermentation was arrested
by the use of sulphide of lime. He was
acquitted.
Our general election comes off next fall,
and, as we are to elect clerk, register of
wills, treasurer, sheriff. senator, two
members of the house of delegates, three
county commissioners and surveyor,
there is general stir all along the lines
among the politicians of both parties.
The county being very close, makes it
important that few mistakes should be
made. The offices of clerk and treasurer
are the only ones of much profit, and the
clansmen are summoning the faithful to
| make every effort for their friends to see
that they are not distanced in the race.
| There is danger that the clerkship, being
very desirable and several gentlemen
aspiring for the place, may give trouble
with both parties and lead to dissensions
| that may be difficult to heal.
Among the Democrats, the present in
cumbent Luther Fl. Gadd, Esq, Clinton
Cook. Esq, present treasurer, and Edwin
| @. Fields, ESD, are all entered for the
clerkship, with talk of a dark horse OF
two yet unannounced. Among the Repub-
licans b. Gootee Stevens, ESD, is con,
fessedly in the lend, with Thoms +. Jones
Esq, the Hon. A. B. Roe, outgoing SEN
ator, and Charles Stevens, following. II
is not thought TINT Mr.. Roe is nm aspirant
but his splendid race four years ago gives
him prestige among the people.
DIR. G.. w. Goldsborough, James w
Holt. ESD, and Col. Downes are men
toned for the senate among the Demo
Gratis. The Republicans ARE not canvass
ing much below the clerkship.
