The Fishing Seasan.

Preparatory To the annual fishing season
the wharfs fer The receipt OF tsh III Washing

this year, in both places. at sum less than
that received last season.
Shad, herring and other fish are already ne
ing caught in Inc lower Potomac, aud on

fish were carried to Washington by river
steamer.
Quite number of herring have been caught
in Port Tobacco Creek and other tributaries
Of the Potomac, aud fishermen say they are
here earlier than usual. Fishermen, are much
like the peach grower on the reninsuar, or al
at predicting calamity, and they are now
trophes,ing that the prospects, for the coming
fishing season on The Potomac, are any thin :
put favorable.
But all the same. maUy hundreds Of citizens
of this county will engage in the business and
thousands of dollars will he realized. We Dc
not take much stock in the calamity howlers,
as we believe the prospect for successful
fishery is equally good tuis, as any presiou;

New Bills introduced.

A bill has been introduced by Mr.. Mad
dcx, to regulate the appointment of trustees
of the poor in Charles county. What tie
provisions of the bill are We are not aware,
but would not he surprised if the measure
was not originated foi the purpose of getting
Mr.. Thomas NJ. Weich out Of his position as
keeper of the alms-house, as he is not regard
ed, nowadays, as simon plre CROUCH to suit
the Democratic bosses of this county
Every one in these times, no matter how eff
Gent must bow 10 the decree Of the Demo-
cratic boss, or, off goes bis head.
A bill has also been introduced by DR..

Injunction Continued.

Arguments in the equity case Of the
washingt ~ and Potomac Railroad Company,
aud other creditors, against the Washingt n
and Point Lookout Railroad, we're heard in
Marlboro on Friday last. Messrs. John P
Poe and Sydney &. Audd appeared for the
plaintiffs, and Francis P. Stevens for The re-
spondents.
In November last, bill was filed asking an
,,;;.s.s...iisa 10 restrain the Washington and
Point Lookout Railroad from the use Of III,
road, which runs from Brandywlne, in Prince
Georges county, through Charles iato St.
Marys county. Judge Briscoe granted the
Injunction.
The hearing on Monday last was a prelimi-
nary one for tie appointment of receiver
and also for the dissolution of the Injunction.
The case was fully argued and the court re-
fused to appoint receiver and the case to try
the title to the bed of the road, which is the
principal question in the controversy, was set
for hearing on April sth Leave is given to
all parties to take testimony 10 snstain the al
legations as to their claims This leaves in
operation the injunction restraining the ope-
ration of the line and defers all questions to
the next term of the Circuit Court for Priaee
Georges county.
To his argument Mr.. Poe claimed that if
the Washington and Potomsc is given charge
of the road it will build it to its terminus, and
operations ia the interest of large ccmmun-
ty desiring railroad facilities, will be begun at
an early date.
On the other hand, Mr.. Stevens claimed for
his side the same quick and valuable services
to the citizens of the three counties through
which the road passes.
The Washington and Potomac are the sue
cessors of the original owners, the Southern
Maryland, and claim title as representing the
original builders The title of the respondents
lies 10 tax safes, purchase of ways, &c. The
State has stock in the road amounting to
$l63, 900.
In the mean time, while the litigation is go
lug on, the people along the route are praying
for its speedy termination, so that they can
have the railroad facilities of which they
stand so much in need.
