A Swedish Poem.
It matters little where I was bom,
Or if my parents were rich or poor;
Whether taey shrank at the cold world's scorn.
Or walked in the pride of wealth secure;
But whether I live an honest man,
And hold my Integrity firm in my clutch,
I tell you, brother, plain as I am.
It mattersjmuch!
It matters little how long I stay
In a world of sorrow, sin and care;
Whether In youth I am called away,
Or live Oil my bones and pate are bare;
But whether I do the best I can
To soften the weight of adversity's touch
On the faded cheek of my fellow-man,
It matters much!
It matters little where be my grave,
On the land or on the sea;
By purling brook or 'neath stormy wave,
It matters little or naught to me;
But whether the angel Death comes down
And marks my brow with his loving toueh,
As one that shall wear the victors crown,
It matters much!

ALBERTSON VS. KEOGH.
A Bitter Factional Fignt Among- North
Carolina Republicans.
Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.
Washington, July 6 Now that the
President has a temporary respite from
the annoyances and discomforts caused
him by the wars of the office holders
and the office seekers in Maryland, he
finds that he mnst go through a similar
ordeal from North Carolina. A war
between the ins and the outs in that
State is raging with much bitterness.
The main point apparently at issue is
that the outs complain that the offices
are mostly rilled by carpet-baggers, and
the native-born Republicans have not
a fair show. It is believed, however,
that deeper than this is the question as
to who shall succeed in controlling the
delegation from North Carolina in the
next National Republican convention.
Mr. Thos. B. Keogh, who has been chair
man of the Republican State committee
tor a number oi years, ana who lias ai
ways exercised more mnuence over tne
politics of the State than any other man
of his party, is said to be first for Grant
and after Grant for Conkling. The fed
eral officials in North Carolina are with
some exceptions the close friends of
Mr. Keogh, and are understood to be in
accord with him in regard to the next
presidency, u nited States District At
torney Albertson is said to be the lead
er of the wing opposed to Mr. Keogn,
and in favor oi Secretary bherman as
the next Republican nominee. The
President, who it is generally acknowl
edged favors Secretary Sherman's as
pirations, has been interviewed to an
alarming extent, and it has been sought
to impress upon mm that the interests
of the Republican party in general, and
of Mr. Sherman in particular, would be
much subserved by the ejection of Ke-
ogh's friends from the offices, and the
substitution of natives with Sherman
predilections. Among those whose de
capitation is particularly desired is Mr.
Powers, the collector ot internal reve
nue at Newberu. The friends of Ke
ogh assert that lie is not anxious about-
remaining at the head of the State com
mittee, and that he has several times
offered to resign, but that the better
portion of the native Republicans put
him there and want him to stay there.
Owing to the peculiar manner in which
the Republican politics oi JN ortn jaro
lina are run, the chairman of the State
committee exercises a very important
influence in the make-up of the delega
tion to the national convention, and
hence, the friends of Sherman will con
sider It a great victory if they icaa get
Keogh's friends put out of office and
dispossess him of the chairmanship.
When it is considered that the Southern
delegations in the convention will in
all probability control the nomination,
it is not to be wondered that there is

THE FISH LAW.
The Question of Its Constitutionalitr
To the Editor of The Observer:
The constitutionality of the recent
acts of the Legislature, providing for
fishways over dams, has been so well
settled that no intelligent lawyer doubts
it. Many citizens, however, or even
lawyers, not haying access to the au
thorities, would perhaps be pleased to
have information on this subject. It is
the duty, too, of the county commission
ers to inform themselves about the
matter, as they have to execute the law.
The act which imposes this official duty
upon them is mandatory, and a failure
to perform it is indictable. Wherever
an officer is commanded to do any act,
it is criminal to neglect it, as well as
subjecting him to a civil action.
In the year 1859, Mr. lyre tfienn, oi
Yadkin county, erected a dam across
the Yadkin river, which completely ob
structed the passage of fish up the
stream. Mr. Glenn was a "riparian
owner" of the. land, that is, his deeds
called for the banks of the stream, but
in addition to this he took out from the
State a grant for the bed 9 the stream.
nim to construct a nsn way over tne
dam, but did not provide any compen
sation for this requirement. He was
indicted and our Supreme Court in De
cember, 1859, (7 Jones Reports p. 321,)
held that the act was unconstitutional,
because the act did not "provide a fair
compensation therefor."
rne present legisiauon, acis ioo- 1 1,
private law, chapter 49, section 5, page
671, in order to meet this defect in the
old law, expressly provides that the
owner of the dam shall have compensa
tion, and that "five disinterested free
holders shall assess it; just as is done
when land is condemned for public
roads, railroads and the like. This pow-
r to condemn land tor public use is
often exercised, too, in allowing per
sons desirous of erecting a mill to con
demn an acre on the opposite side of the
stream, or that allows an owner of a
dam to flood another's land if he pays
the annual value and it does not ex
ceed twenty dollars. The right to pond
water, on paying just compensation, is
the same as the right to condemn a fish
way oyer a dam. See Holyoke Compa
ny vs. Livman. 15 Wallace, JN. &. Re
ports, p. 507. Owners of dams that pond
and on others are tne last persons wno
can dispute tnis legislative power, as
they are keeping up their dams under
this very power.
5ut note, Mr. liienn had a grant tor
the bed of the stream. Mere "riparian
owners," whose deeds call for the banks,
are not entitled to compensation. Judge
Battle, in the Glenn case, says: "Me
cannot bv force of his riparian proprie
torship, merely, erect a dam or put any
other obstruction in the river so as to
prevent altogether the passage of fish
up it." This is clear and unmistakable.
Now, is there a single owner of a dam
on the South Fork oi Catawba river
who has a grant for the bed of the
stream ? If not. then Glenn's case does
not protect him. We merely cite this
case to show that by our ovm decisions
1 1 1 A ,
tue law is consiiLuuonai.
But in the year 1872 the Supreme
Court of the United States has gone
further than our Supreme Court, and
decides that the State has a right to
condemn, without compensation. And
lawyers know that the decisions of the
United States Supreme Court control
our courts, in all cases, as in this,;where
they have jurisdiction ot the subject
Our court must give way to it, as it did
on the homestead question. The de
cision is the same above quoted, Holy
oke Co. vs. Lyman. In this case the
company had erected a stone dam across
the Connecticut river, and to erect
hshwav would and did cost 830,000, on
account of the magnitude of the dam
The Holyoke Company resisted the act
and carried the case to the Supreme
Court of Massachusetts, and being de
cided against them thtre. thev appealed
to the Supreme Court of the United
States and the company was asain de
feated, and was compelled to erect the
hshway at the enormous cost Detore
mentioned. The decision is too long to
publish, but can be read and understood
by any one. The digest ot the opinion
is: "The right of hsherv is a public
right, subject to such reasonable regu
"lations as the State mav make for its
"protection: including the right to re
quire ot persons who own or build dams,
that they construct such hshways as
"will enable migratory fish to pass from
tne lower to tne nigner ievei oi uie
water occasioned bv such dams.
One word as to these fishways. Tliey
are of various patterns, and can be con
structed over a six feet dam at a cost
of $25 or $30, and do pot in the least in
jure the dam or decrease tne watei-
mwfir. Now. nnsrht not mill owners,
r ,
who are generally men or "means, be
willing to do this much that their poor
neighbors above them may get a few
hsb as well as themselves t ana ao tney
think it rio-ht. when the lesrisiature is
protecting their dams, that they should
use them so as to cut on tne passage oi
fish to every one above therm1 tan
they justify the exercise of that right
even if thev have it f These laws are
now adopted bv all the States, and are
part ot the law ot every civilized gov
eminent in Europe, and it is too late
now to attempt to resist it. It has been
tried and failed.
Let the poor as well as the rich have
the luxury ot a nice nsn occasionally.
and this they can soon have if the young
fish are protected a tew years and tne
shad and salmon can come up our rivers
and lay their eggs. The young always
come back to where they re hatched,
and if shad are allowed to come up and
spawn we will have thousands in three
years (the time they take to get tneir
growth) in the South Fork anauatawpa.
