The fishing season on the Potomac appears to be drawing toa close, many of the seines and trap- nets having already been cut out. The appear- ance of myriads of May files ts regarded by fisher- men as a sure sign of the “last run of shad.” The season opened with great promise this year, and Was progressing finely, but the long continued nothern storms !n April, with the high rise of the river from freshets, proved to be most disastrous to the fishermen, breaking up their nets, and in Several cases sweeping them away altogether. Bug, the worst phase of these cold freshets was the turning of the fish back into deep water and keep- ing them back during the season when the fisher- houls have been at work. For this reason ft vas that those who had heavy Investments in this industry petitioned Congress and obtained the passage of th mn, recently adopted, for continuing the legal season’ for shad und her~ Ting fishing this vear fifteen days into the month of June. This, 1 was thought, would help them out of their difficulties; but thus far but very Ii tle good appears to have resulted, as the best and most experienced inen In the business state that It is no use as the season is gone. THE FALLING OFF in the catch of shad from last year ts quite 100,000 up to the present time, and in herring, 2,524,341. Of course, to a considerable extent this falling off in the catch has been compensated by an apprect- ation in the price of fish, but the gain from this has not been equally distribued among the fisher- men. As stated above, the cold floods «? April and the first part of May had the effect of driving the fish down into deep waters, where the heaviest cateh hus been made, leaving those engaged on the upper part of the river alinost without occupa- tion. It 15 for this reason thet many have been heavy losers.

The herring landed at Alex- andria will not exceed 2,500,000, and other places, altogether, It ts aout, will not exceed 600,000. A BLESSING IN DISGUISE. While the falling off this year ts disastrous to many, by some, {tis thought, 1t will in the long Tun prove a blessing, as it will, without doubt, afford the fish better faciliti«s for spawaing and hatching thetr young for future seasons. The shoals Ir. many places on the river have practical ly been left undisturbed the present season, and the change in the metiio¢ of catching, tt 1s elaimed by many,ts of great advantage to future prospects. While the seine disturts and destroys the hate! processon the shoals, the pouad net operates Gifferently and does not molest. the process of hitching. The latter method 1s now used almost universally on the upper Potomae, and the gangs ot men with cummbrous paraphernalia, which uscd to be seen in early spring, steering down stream, are notably reduced in late years. ‘The hauitng 11 of lengthy setnes by horse power—an old time custom—and more recently by steam power with stationery engines, planted on shore, at some of the more pretentiois landings, are seén no more, and probably will hereafter ‘be abandoned alto- gether. THR GILL NETS are also getting to be unpopular, as thoy are un- profitable and are believed to be a most destruc- tive device to the fish. Many thousands of fine roe shad, which have been left struggling in gill nets for want of the proper care and watchfulness of the hands left in charge of them, have been de- stroyed by eels, and when taken out have been found mutilated and dead. The pount, or trap net, seems to avold all the objections urged agains: other and older devices. While these reforms in the modes of catching have been progressing steadily the past few years the fact should not be overlooked that the United States fish commission under Professor Baird has done and {s now doing much towards maintaining the supply of shad and herring in the Potomac and other stocks of fish in the lukes and rivers of the country. eee A Family Poisoned at Breakfast. CHIEF OF THE SECRET SERVICE BROOKS AND HIS WIFE AND OTHERS ILL—ALL OF THE SUFFERERS IMPROVING. On the morning of Decoratton day, as Mr. James J. Brooks, chief of the secret service of the Treas- ury, and his wife were walking down 9th street, ‘Mrs. Brooks was taken very sick. She was able to.

Yesterday afternoon, in the Criminal Court, Judge Wylie, the case of Henry Young, charged with second offence petit larceny, was tried, and he was convicted. It was claimed that the pris- oner, by means of a game something similar to the tree-card monte Dusiness, obtained the money, and the counsel raised the point that the case at Tost was a breach of trust. Judge Wylie said that in all_ these cases—bunco, three-card monte or otherwise—where the money 1s obtained by means of a conspiracy or agreement, the court would hold {t to be larceny, and the law would he enfored to the utmost penalty; that he had con- sulted with his brethren, and they, with him, were Satisfied that such cases were larceny, and would $0 construe them when the proof was sufficient.

STORMY TIME IN THE HOUSE YESTERDAY—MACKEY SWORN IN AND DEMOCRATIC RESOLUTIONS OF PRO- TEST TABLED—THE FLORIDA CASE TAKEN UP. In the House of Representatives, at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Mr. Calkins demanded the Previous question on the Mackey-O’Connor election case, pending which Mr. Randall moved to recom- mit the report of the committee on elections, with instructions to inquire into the authenticity of all depositions, &c., produced in the case of Mackey agt, O'Connor. Rejected—yeas, 97; nays, 187—and the main question was ordered. Mr. Dibble spoke in his own behalf, and Mr. Calkins then closed the debate in favor of the majority t Mr. 8} icans had ‘this remark should not go in the nop tot the Speaker sustained the point; whereupon Mr. Mills, of Texas, excitedly fxcialméd: “Yes, the Speaker can preserve order and su] press the Tecord, oan never blot from the’! story Of this that treason against the government.” Mr. Milis Was called to order by the Speaker and threatened with the sergeant-at-arms. The resolution seating Mr. Mackey was then adopted—yeas, 150; nays, 3—and he was immedi- ately sworn in. A QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE. ‘Mr. McLane then rose to a question of privilege, and sent to the clerk’s desk a resolution reciting the fact that the House in the exercise of a power expressly conferred upon it by the Constitution has ordained and established a code of rules for the government of its proceedings and for the guidance of its presiding officer; also reciting the facts in connection with the Speaker's refusing to entertain the motions and appeals of Mr. S;ringer on Monday last, declaring that he was not allowed. his right as a representative of the Prople to sub- mit motions affecting the merits of the measure then pending, and that thus the right of the House to construe Its own rules was not accorded: — Road ae it the duty of ool tp) to maintain the integrity, and reealarity ‘Dro- ceedings and to preseve the rights and privileges of its members, and therefore resolving that in Judgment of the House the said motions and ‘appeals were in order at the time they were made and taken under the es, and ought to have been entertained and submitted by the Speaker to the House for its action thereon; also resolving that the said decision and ruling. of the chair and his refusal to allow appeals therefrom were arbitrary, and are condemned and censured by the House. 4 LIVELY TIME, The resolutions at once raised a storm on the republican side, and Mr. Reed moved to lay them on the table, whilst Mr. Hiscock simultanously inquired of the Speaker whether they were offered 8 a question of privilege, to which the Speaker replied that Mr. Mc! had assured him that they were not personal v0 the Speaker. This drew from Mr. McLane the remark that they were not Personal to the Speaker, which was disputed on the republican side. Leading members on the democratic side insisted that Mr. Reed had not the Tight to take the floor from Mr. McLane, who had presented a privileged question, but the Speaker, amidst great nolse and confusion on both sides, announced that he entertained Mr. Reed’s motion to lay the resolutions on the table, Mr. McLane ensued between Messrs. McLane and Hazleton, @uring which the former informed the later that he had no right to address him. THE DEMOCRATIC RESOLUTIONS TABLED AND THE FLORIDA CASE TAKEN UP, Finally the democrats had to yield, Mr. McLane declaring that the chair was violating the rules of the House. The yeas and nays were demanded and ordered, the storm subsided, the vote was taken, and the resolutions were lafd on the table— Yeas 143, nays 88. Mr. Ranney, from the committee on elections, then called up the Florida contested election case of Bisbee against Finley, aud the question of con- stieration raised by Mr. Randall, the House voted to consider it—yeas 149, nays 2, (Messts. Phelps and Hardenbergh)—and then the’ House, at 8:80 o'clock. adjourned. CITY ITEMS. Rowell Hazael, O'Leary, Hart and other pedestrians all use German Corn Remover, 2% cts, All drugzists.
