. -‘These lisli—German carp—are
sent out by Fish Commissioner
Baird, to be distributed free to re
sponsible parties interested in fish
culture. The carp seems to be
more in demnnd than any other,
giving the best results. Eighteen
tlionsnnd have licen assigned for
distribution in Georgia, and that
is what I am here for now.”
“What is your mode of distribu
tion?”
“Application should be made di
rectly to tlie lisli commissioner
through the congressman repre
senting the applicant's distiict.
When the season comes for distri
bution, the commissioner sends
tlfcm along under charge of compe
tent olllcers to the leading points
of distribution. The applicants are
lirst supplied free of charge. Then
the slate agricultural commission
ers arc accepted ns nuxillinrics, and
aid us very materially. Mr. G. G.
Davenport has been litre for some
days making arrangements for the
distribution of this consignment.
Eight thousand will be distributed
by him, and the balance will go
through the hands ofCommissioncr
Henderson, who has over 450 ap
plications to All. We will slay here
two days, when wc will proceed to
Louisville to meet the Kentucky
demand.”
“Which southern states exhibits
the greatest progress in piscicul
ture?”
‘•Georgia is a long ways ahead,both
in results neheived, applications
sent in, and success is having her or
ders tilled. That isduu totwo rea
sons: First there is an intelligent
interest in this industry among the
people, and second, your congress
men are so alive to their duty in
securing for their constituents
their full share of everything that
is going on. Texas conies next,
but Georgia is already ahead. Wc
have only been able heretofore to
supply carp for ponds, but next
majority ol' sixteen. The bid was
introduced by Mr. Stephens and
went before Mr. Henry G. Turner
us a sub-committee. To bis careful
study of its history and its
merits, and to_ his earnest
advocacy much of the credit of its
passage is due. It was simply a
request from Georgia to have re
funded $35,000 suent from her
treasury for the common defense
during the revolution. Every time
one of these long delayed claims ol
Georgia lias come up the effort of
its opponents has been not to dis
pute its equity, but to throw it otr
on a mere technicality. To the
dyspeptic objector from Indiana
that task was left this time. lie
was quick to pop up and argue that
as Georgia was assessed $740,000
direct tax during tlie late war this
claim ought to be credited on that
account. General Phil Cook ask
ed him why not credit tlie Govern
ment’s claim on the $12,000,000 of
cotton tax wrung out of the far
mers of Georgia since tlio wnr. Mr.
Blount showed that Holman lmd
made a point long ago settled by
Mr. Porter, the present Governor
of his own State, who when comp
troller ol the t reasury decided that
the direct tax le vied during the wnr
simply constitutes a lien on the
land of the Stnto and lias nothing
whatever to do with such claims.
Col. Hammond argued ably for tlie
bill and ,Mr. Speer presented its
claims for the fair consideration of
the house. It was snug work all
tlie way through.
The hill has gone to the Senate
and is in the hands of the committee
on revolutionary claims. Senator
Barrow fortunately is on tlint com
mittee. Ho will tnke care of the
State’s interest and the long delay
ed debt will soon bo paid into tlie
Georgia treasury.
Mr. Green, of Millcdgcvillo, lias,
I hear, a contract with the Stale to
prosecute this claim by which ho is
to receive 20 per cent of the
amount recovered. In addition to

A Negro Pressed to Death In a Bale

On November 20 James Bradley,
a negro living at Bell’s Ferry, I'itt
county, disappeared nnd nil search
for him proved fruitless. He was
about to marry a woman of that
section, when two women came
from llyda county, each of whom
declared she was Bradley’s wife,
and each exhibitedn child,of which
hu was alleged to be the father.
These developments broke oir the
marriage and threw Bradley into a
lit of rage and despair. He went

A Little Ohio Story.
Hon. George H. Ford, ex-Rop-
rcsentativo for Geauga county, bus
been giving a little history in con
nection with tbc re-election of Jfohq
Sherman tojthe Senate in 1872.—
,,1’hcre were eleven of us Republi
cans,” said Mr. Ford, “who start
ed out with tho distinct pledge
that under no circumstances would
wo vote for Mr. Sherman, but to
ward tlio last day of probation 3
of them were won away from us.
We slid held the balance of power,
and by aid of the Democratic votes
which were prollcred us for the
choice of almost any good Repub
lican as against Sherman, wo oould
have made certain of an eleotion.
But the trouble was in uniting on
any one man who would be entire
ly satisfactory to tlie eight. Fi
nally on the very night preceding
tho choice wo decided to telegraph
Gen. Garfield, who was then'in tho
House and ask him if he would al
low the use of his name. As near
I can recollect, a dispatch, worded
in this manner, was sent.
“Gen. Jus. A. Garfield, Wash
ington, D. ,C: You can be eleeted
United States Senator in to-mor
row’s conference by our votes, with
the aid cf tlie Democrats of the
two houses."
“To this dispatch,”continued Mr.
Ford, “were signed tho names of
thceight—J. S. Casement, ot Lake,
J. 11. Conard,of Portage, Kirtland
of Mahoning Ford, of Geauga;
Senator Gage of the Paulding dis
trict; Fulton, from the Western
part of the state; John T. Falls, of
Cincinnati, and, as near as I
can recollect. Chapman, of Cuya
hoga, not the present Senator, but
H. M., of Euclid. Almost; imme
diately, and showing that he had
taken no timo to consider the ques
tion or to consult with anybody
came back the answer from Gar
field:
“Gentlemen, I tlmidc you for tho
oiler so kindly made, but I can
novel' consent to bo elected United
Stales Senator by Democratic
votes.”
“This refusal somewhat set us
back, but wc concluded to tty it
again. Hayes was then just closing
his second term as Governor, and
wc decided to try him next. At
10 o’clock Gen. Jack Casement and
tnyself.were appointed a commp.-
tcu to call on him, which we did,
finding him in bed. We soon
routed him out, and made him the
same olfer wu had Gen. Garfield.
He said that hu could not deny
that lie would like to be a United
Stales Senator, hut that his rela
tions to Sliorwau were such that
he could not consent to be a candi
date. With that wc went back, and
us wc could not agreo among our
selves on Cox, whom the Demo
crats favored, we broke up and
eventually voted for Sherman—

tion of I-’allis, ol Cincinnati, who
stood out to the end, and gave his
vote lor Cox."

Suspended In .Mid-Air.
Chattanooga, Deo. 9 Early yes-
terdny morning a thrilling acci
dent occurred on the summit of
Walden’s ridge to a man named
Kendrick, a peddler from Setuac-
nec volley, who was proceeding to
the city on the Anderson road.
At the Southern brow of the
ridge, tlie road makes a steep de
cent along the side of tbe blutr,
fully 100 feet in height, and ab
ruptly hinds, making almost a com
plete circle. The road is exceed
ingly steep nt this point, and very
dangerous. A “corduroy” gang
way was built as a means ot safety,
but notwithstanding this precau
tion tlmt spot is feared by all trav
elers, and whenever possible tbey
avoid it.
Just us Kendrick started down
the road, tlie lock-chain ofhis wag
on broke, and the vehicle was
thrown upon the team. The right
hand horse, the one nearest the
edge of the htufl was thrown for
ward, and in plunging stepped too
near the edge and rolled over. It
then being suspended in mid-air,
the road being fully 100 feet below,
its harness prevented it from fall
ing, anil as soon as possible ropes
were procured and it was released
from its perilous position, the only
damage to the auiinal being a lew
scratches. Kendrick was in Ills
wagon when the accident occurred,
anil was well nigh beside himself
with terror; his escape from a Hor
rible death was indeed providential.
