To-day in the Court in General Term, Judges Cartter and Wylie, the case of Edward Perkins was argued by District Attorney Corkhill and Mr. A. B. Williams.

On the trial below it was shown that in June, 1 Perkins sold to Drexel & Co. 19 bonds, amount- ing to $13,000, which, answering the description of the Hanscom bonds, led to his arrest. The tpi found a verdict of guilty, and he was sen- enced to three years in the Albany peniten- Uary.

The paper wes referred. Mr. Beron moved that a committee of three be appointed to examine into the “sneaking” contracts for the work at the Patent Office and at the National Mu- seum.

The motion was adopted, and Messrs. Beron, Craney and Plowden were appointed. Mr. Hamilton offered resolutions relating to the proposed dis- position of the public lands, declaring that the recommendations of Major Powell and Mr. Britton on that subject, if adopted, will operate against the poorer classes, and give opportun!- tes to the capitalists to take a land which should be open to settlement. Mr. McDonald claimed that the land commission (Messrs, Brit- ton and Powell), had acted in the interests of the capitalists, and that if their recommenda- tions were enacted into a law, in a short time 160 or 20 men or corporations would have all the public lands.

Stewart, at the foot of 12th street, last evening, and had ashort talk with him upon the subject of fish and the Potomac fisheries. Capt. Stewart is a veteran river man, having hunted and fished on and about the Potomac all his life. There isn't an oyster or a good ducking inlet from the Chesapeake bay to the Little Falls that he doesn’t know all about it, and many an interesting reminiscence he can relate Caen Toa nas over the prospects of the coming season he rep! quicely. “Slim, I can tell you, and ms THE BOYS ARE DOWNBEARTED.” « ‘The reporter expressed surprise that the tisher- men would continue to pursue the business without much bope of reward for their labor. “Well, you see,” answered the cap- tain, “fishing is like any other trade or occupation. A man gets his all invested in selnes, boats and everything that goes to make an outfit—and it costs something to get up a good rig—and there he is. He’s got to work with them and get his money out of the invest- ment. His mind gets tixed on the business, and he becomes interested. Now and then he meets with a litve luck, and that draws him on. So of the stiller fishermen, who use gill nets and other fvaps less expensive than the shoremen; u in learn: to knit a net, and after it is made ihey soon work into the business of using it, and this is what has brought ruin on the busi- ness—-teo May at it, and they run it as loug as they cak get a shad or herring. even into June, when the female tish should be left unmolested to-deposit their spawn Young in the natural way. DROPPING THE USE OF LARGE SEINES. To the question whether seines are as much used now as formerly, he said: “No they are Lot; it Is found by practical fishermen that the scareity of fish does not justify the cost of keep- ing up the fishing shores in the old manner; and where this 1s done the length of the seines have been cut down, requiring less men to run them, and of course'a corresponding decrease in the cost. In leu of the seine THE POUND NET is coming into use, and several of the shores are them altogether, owing to the cost bein less in running them and the scarcity of fish. This year Mr. Wm. Elliott, at Gut Landin; Captain Jacob D. Faunce at Free Stone Poin’ and others are using them, alsomy men at Cockpit Point, and they seem to be working well.” In reply to the querry as to how they compare with the seine in the matter of Inter- fering with the spawning of shad and herring. he sal: “That's the very thing I'm driving at; they don’t interfere at all with the spawning, and that’s why we are encouraging their use. ‘The fishermen on our river have pretty gener. ally come to the conclusion that they have got to discard the old seine for the reason that if they keep on with them they'll soon have no use for them or any other nets, and that they have got to use a device less destructive to the fish. Now this pound net seems to be the favorite, and I think will be the coming net in use generally at the fishing shores.” This is a stationery net, made fast to poles which are driven down into the bottom of the river. The nets sink to the dot- tom and float on the top, between the poles, by means of corks attached to the cord line. About. 150 fathoms ot net is required to make a good sized pound net, or 300 yards. The poles are driven in rows, stretching from the shoal water out Into quite deep water, and in such a man- ner as to lead or hedge the fish into the pound, which is about thirty fect square, and placed in deep water. It works equally well on either the and propagate their | ebb ortiow of the tide,and 1s alwaysat work. All that is necessary ts for the boatmen to watch the pound and pull it up when necessary, and xemove the fish into the boat. This may be done at any moment, and as eften as one likes. In this way the dragging of a heavy seine several times every day over a large area of river bottom, and disturbing the process of spawning is avoided. The pound net does not interfere with the spawning, and although a smaller catch than from the Seine is the result, Yet, in this way only, do the river mer belleve the fish can be encow gain return to our rivers in abundance as formerly. It will probably take some time to get the fishermen into this practice, and what persua NOT A BELIEVER IN ARTIFICIAL FISH PROPAGA- ‘TION. ON. Capt. Stewart takes no stock in the artificial process of propagating shad or herring as a means Of stock! our rivers. He thinks the passage of the act now pending In Congress, Which fixes the penalty of $5 for every shad or herring found or exposed for sale on any deal- er’s stand or place of business in the District of Columbia, at certain seasons, will effect more in stocking our river with these fish than 40 fish propagators, backed up by Spon rasions: of Said he, “dis- Congress. “Golden and mysell i pore of all the fish brought to our market. Last year we sold 20,000 shad in the month of June, when fishing should have ceased altogether. The best run of shad last year was up to about the 25th of May. From that time out, sixty-five per cent of the shad caught were large roe. or female shad, entirely unfit for use. Sup} each of these female shad to produce 1,000 youn; Shad, which | think a very low estimate, ant we have 10,000,000 of young fish from these 20,000 female shad. which might have been saved by stopping off the catch on the 25th of May, as should have been the case. There were 10,000,000 fish which could have been propagat- edin the natural way and saved. The most that Professor Baird claims to have hatched out in any ohe season, and set free, was 2,000,000, and the Sovernment has paid away many thou- sand dol for the artificial mode, all to no urpose. We have seen no good resuits from the artificial method in this river, and Prof. Baird acknowledges himself that the natural method ts the best, THE BILL NOW BEFORE CONGRESS (H. No. 4568), if Limes and enforced, will cure all the evils and ig back plenty of shad and herring to our river and markets.” The suggestion was put to Captain Stewart that should this bill become a law it could only apply to the District of Columbia, while the ‘states Of Maryland and Virginia would not be at_all affected by it. The captain rep'ied:— “ That is so, and it would cer ly be most de- sirable should these state governments pass similar statutes. But another fact not gener- ally known is that most all the shad caught in the Potomac from High Point up to this vicin- ity are brought to our District markets, and a law prohibiting their sale here would pretty soon put a stop to late fishing.” WHO WILL WORK THE SHORES THIS SEASON. From him it was ascertained that the follow- ing shores had been rented at greatly reduced rates, and will be worked this season:—Jackson City, by Henry Knight; Moxley’s Point, Md. James Skidmore: Greenway, Wm. Smith; Gut Landing, Wim. Eliott; Monkey Point, — Bar- ron; Chapman’s Point, J. S. Chapman; Budd’s Ferry and Stump Neck, Messrs. Downey & Co.; Fairy Landing, Wm. Bagne Stony Point, Wm. Knight; Free-stone Point, Capt. Jacob D Faunce; Cockpit Point, Wm. E. Stewart; Clit- ton, ——Waller; The Gums, Jerry Raub; Tumps, These are the only shores to be worked this year, aid most of these have much reduced outtits and a limited number of men to work them. ‘THE PHILHARMONIC CIETY met last night at the Congregational church for the purpose of rehearsal. f. J. P. Caulfield, the leader, being absent, Prof. Gloetzner ae lb his place. The rehearsal being over, a business meetin; was held. Mr. H. L. Prince, the vice president, occupied the chair, and stated that, owing to a difference between the conductor, Mr.Caulfield, and the board of directors in relation to a deter- mination on the part of the professor that the society should engage another organist and dis- miss Mr. Waldecker from performing at the next concert, he (Caulfield) had sent in his res- ignation as leader. Considerable surprise was expressed at this action, inasmuch as Mr. Wal- decker had done the best he could and had gen- erally given satisfaction, so far as he (the vice president) knew. Considerable discussion en- Sued on the action of Prof. Caulfield, and action was finally poned as to the acceptance of the resignation until the next meeting. —$—<—_— A HUSBAND CHARGED WITH BRUTAL TRRat- MENT OF His WiFE.—In the Police Court to-day, Daniel Burns, was with assaulting his wife, who testified that her husband knocked her down, after which she did not remember what happened to her. Dr. Merriam testified Uaat her shoulder was seriously injured, and the wounds had the appearance of having been caused by the heel of a man’s boot. Mr. Burns Stated that he not strike her, but that she fell while scufiling with him. “He was fined $20 or 60 days in jail and $300 bonds to keep the peace, and in default of bonds six months additional.

Mr. Bender, and lived together until May, 1879, when she charges he left her without just cause; that in August, 1879, she gave birth to a still born child, which she all was the im- mediate effect of bad treatment received at his hands, and she details several instances of cruel treatment. She states, at the time of his mar- riage defendant had two wives living from whom he had been divorced, and charges that after leaving her he employed nts to pro- cure evidence upon which he might obtain a divorce from her and withdraw an allowance of $20 in order that through poverty and want she might enter u feofshame.

ARRESTED ON A CHARGE OF Fravp.—Wm. ‘Troxall, the young man who some months since was indicted for forgery of a signature in order to obtain a certificate of drawback from the office of Mr. W. O. Roome, in charge of re- visions of special assessments, was arrested this morning on a warrant sworn out by Mr. Wm. Dickson, agent for claims against the Dis- trict, chi ing him with defrauding him out of $97.19 on the 12th day of August last, in a sim- lar transaction.

E. church, cor- ner of 15th and R streets, assembled last even- ing to welcome the return of their pastor, the Rev. Dr. E. D, Owen. A committee waited upen him at his residence and escorted him to the church. As he came down the aisle a_volun- tary was rendered upon the organ, and upon Ae oes the chancel he was recelved with a short address of welcome to which he made a feeling response.

The bidding was slow, and res generally ruled low. Mr. Scott, the auctioneer, is the same genial gentle- man ‘who managed the Shepherd sale couple of years ago, and his temper is as uu tailing now as it was then, and he looks for- ward hopefully to better things. He will hardly be disappointed in this, for his paintings are far better as a whole than those generally brought here for auction sales, and some of the very best in the collection will be offered to-night.
