It is not important that the election bill

Reed thinks an election bill should be

publicans attempt to put the negroes in
possession Of the local governments in
the South, it win be bad for the
Republican party and worse for the

2,600political murders in Louisiana under
the operation Of the vicious reconstruc-
tion laws and in the presence Of the
United States troops. Such prospect
ought to make man shiver The Republi-

We have often directed the attention
Of the rabid, hysteric. South-hating
organs of Pennsylvania, which stultify
themselves by abusing the Southern
people, because It is esteemed good poll
tics, and advised them kindly to
sweep before their own DOORS We
have often pointed to the fact that
Pennsylvania furnished more crimes
Of more revolving character than
any six Southern states. This
proposition Is proved by the
daily dispatches which come reeking
with horrible, bloody crimes from the
state which, more than all others, ex-
cept Ohio, assumes a moral censorship
over the Southern states. Yesterday
Moses Harris. colored man, was inn
prisoned in Chester after he had
deliberately fred into group
of men and wounded three
Of them. Harris resisted arrest
and tried to shoot the arresting officer.
Let the Pennsylvania pharisees look over
the South to find something worse than
that, and then remember that where
Pennsylvania has one negro, each state
in the South has three and some Of them
twenty. 1t Is no part Of our business
to palliate, defend or excuse crime any
where It is frequent and horrible
enough everywhere, but 1t is neither SC
frequent nor SO disgusting at the South
as in Pennsylvania, Ohio ard New Jersey
The South might be better and the
Southern people are growing better. bui

Rock fish that can be gilded in a shad

mand. A huge drum-fsh, none OF which

81 The fish brought 81 90, and was the
frst one ever caught in the river in
March.
While yet cognizant Of the fact that
they had had one Of the most successful
seasons on record the fishermen agreed
to formally close the season by having
a general good time. Accordingly May
30 was decided upou as the day for an
old time boat race. On the morning of
that day fourteen boats started in the
race, which was over a course to point
ten miles down the river and return
James Foster came in the victor, and
the prize handsome and substantial
suit Of sails was presented to him by
John A. Walls, in a neat speech.
The shad trappers then, after a hard
springs work, left their boats and nets,
and like Peter, James AMI John, were
called to other fields. The other field
that these fishermen were called to,
however, was that OF the New Castle
Base Ball Club, where they succeeded in
completely wiping out the crack Merry
Ten Club in game Of base ball, by q
score OF 19 to 18.
William Bartlett, young fisherman,
caught the largest number of Ehad, and
was, therefore, s'high boat" OF the sea-
son. He hauled over the gunwhale OF

The fishermen are loud in their ex-
pressi-ns Of gratitude at the wonderful
and prosperous work Of the United
States Fish Commission, and cay that
they owe their success to the efforts OF
that great department. The young shad
as well as many other delicious varieties

they can be gilled, taken out Of tn,

In order that the rising generation, who
