AN IMTEMEamMO OCCASION.
The gathering in abort time, at
A root, othoa interested in the fish in
terest of the State ooght to be a notable
one, brxaaae it will bring prominently be
fore the public eye, at the moat suitable
point for illustration, an industry capa
ble of adding greatly to the rerentiea of
the State, and demonstrating the numer
ous aad otter ly variant resources of
North Carolina. The point selected has
peculiar advantages trr promiuatifly dis
playing the nagnituoof the fish inter
est. Avoca ttefcttdenre of the proirie
torsfrflbe great fisheries chose, as the
"subject of demonstration, Dr. Capehart
and soa, ia in the southeast corner of
. Bertie county, near the month of, the
Chowan river, not far, also, from the
mouth of the Roanoke river, and very
near the head of Albemarle Sound, which
stretches away to the cast to the extent
of sixty miles until closed by the long,
low, narrow sand bants which stand as
a barrier between the inland waters and
the turbulent ocean outside Ibrever bat
tling to regain Ks lost ground ; for, when
the expedition sent out by Sir Walter
Raleigh approached the const, it entered
into the waters of the sound by an inlet
opening directly into it. This has been
closed for perhaps two centuries; and
vessels, and, what is more to oar pur
pose, the fish enter into the placid sounds
in search of their spawning grounds
through the inlets lower down the coast
Oregon, Loggerhead, Hatteras and
Ocracoke. Into these sounds annually
pour, from February to May.theswarm
ing multitudes of shad, Herring, rock,
and others of (cm commercial value, aim
Ing air the Roanoke and Chowan rivers
and their numerous tributaries, The head
of the sound, to which the courses of
these rivers converge, forms almost a
veritable cul de sac in which the fish be
come entangled for the while; and this
feature, together with the fine broad
sandy beaches, designated Inevitably this
as the leat of the most constant and pro
line fishing grounds. '
The numerous proprietors who engaged
in the business, the magnitude of their
operations, the vast stretch of their fish
ing apparatus, the introduction of de
structive methods of fishing, the incessant
pursuit) night and day, from the begin
ning to the end of the season of the perse
cuted fish, and the obstructions opposed
to their ascent up the streams to their
spawning places, together wHb the agi
tation of the waters by steam vessels.
had brought about marked diminution
in their numbers and loss to the proprie
tors of the fisheries. Legislation had
dime something to rectify some of the
most tranaparcnt evils in the establish
ment and enforcement of lay-days, and
in regulating the character and position
, of nets But the most effective remedy
was sought, and eventually would have
been attained, by the establishment of
- the Fish Hatchery at Avoca, successful in
high degree, so far asit went; abandoned
became its fruits were not immediately
apparent, r. ,. .
We hope those who visit Avoca on the
occasion to wbkh we refer, will interest
themselves to the extent of acquiring full
information on the subjects presented for
their consideration. We feel sure they
wilt be convinced of the wisdom of urg
ing the broad policy of removing the
question from local or sectional consider
ation. Our State is so vast in Hs extent
, so diverse in its production, so opjiosite
in ks Interests, that Its separated part
are with difficulty brought into common
sympathy, often unwisely arrayed in hos
tile interest. But the broad minded
statesman and the intelligent citixen
must be convinced that what benefits one
part, benefits the whole. Neglect. of. this
principle has retarded the progrcs of the
, whole commonwealth.
North Carolina has by far the finest
natural fishing grounds on the wholi
coast of the t'nited States. Her land
locked bays and sounds, opened to the
ocean by wen defined, permanent gnte
ways, arc the natural resorts for fish
most -rallied for human food. Judicious
measures may perpetuate that supply,
may increase it inimitably, may add
vastly to its already large commercial im
portance; and doing so, add other large
sources to State revenue, and diffuse the
burdens of taxation over a larger class of
subjects, and hght those of the whole, as
the influence of the Western North Caro
lina road, carried to completion against
sectional hostility, because providing few
subjects for taxation, is already bringing
about, when development of values is be
ing made under the light of knowledge
and facilities of access.
, Petersburg Index-Apicali How does
the senate menace the pence of the
nation? What are its extraordinary
powers that can disturb the machinery
of government ? With the solitary ex
ception 'of withholding its assent from
some nomination submitted by the presi
dent, there is not a step it can take, re
lating to the affairs of the people, but
can be checked by the co-ordinate branch
of the national legislature. Its legialu
tivs functions are even more circum
scrilacd than arc those of the bouse of
retiresMitatiwn, and in no respect is its
dignity as a part of the governmental
machine snore prominent than is that of
the house. The peace of the nation might
be menaced by the president; by the
Senate, never. -
r iioiA.' i ak::ad.
TlKiebas been a Rrrat misOke made
somewhere. A kooU many peoi'Ie have
txn under the imjtmssion that Western
North Carolina, with its mountain alti
tudes and biacing air, was healthier than
the eastern part of the Slate, but the im
pression most be effaced at once by all
who bare no local prejudices one way or
the other. Commenting upon the re
markable figures concerning the exemp
tion of Western North Carolina from
consumption submitted by Dr. Marcy to
the International Medical convention,
and published in the Citizen a few days
since, the Elizabeth City Economist
makes the very libera concession that
the figures make a very good "compara
tive" showing for Western North Caro
lina, but adds:
''But we are satisfied from long obser
vation that the death rate from con
sumption in Eastern North Carolina is
less. In fact that great scourge of man
almost unknown in Eastern North
Carolina, which is owing to the mild
winter climate, the sorter and more hu
mid atmosphere, the abundance of the
food fish and oyster supply, and to the
softening influence of the hearth-laden
(jull ettreamtaat passes near the const,
We thin we are within bounds in say-
lig that this county which contains
more than ten thousand of imputation
has not had a death from consumption
during the year.
We once heard W. W. Cherry, a distin
guished lawyer of Windsor, the county
seat of Bertie county, containing a popu
lation of about 800inhatntants,say tnat
tn its whole hwtory of near 100 years, it
had but one remembered case ol consump
tion, and that was a case of an old wo
man who died of consumption at 75
years."
Dr. Marcy 's figures, it will be re mem
be red, showed that 'Western North Caro
lina had six deaths from consumption in
the 10,000 population to ten in the Aiken
section of South Carolina, eleven in the
Thomusville section of Ocorgia, thirteen
on the Peninsula Of Florida and eighteen
on the main kind of Florida. But it
seems that they don't have any at all in
Pasquotank.
THE NKORO;i.KlT OUT.
The Birmingham conference is now on.
In pursuance of a policy which is under
stood to receive the endorsement of the
President, and to be in direct line with
the idea which has guided and will guide
him in the distribution of patronage in
the South, the Republican party, in Ala
bama is to be reorganised on the protec
tive tariff bas-s, thereby to be relieved
from being called a negro party. It
expressly declared thut no negroes are
to be admitted into the conference. If
they desire to co-operate in a movement
the first idea and the first utterance of
whkh is fa snub them, they must form
separate organisations. They must of
course give up all idea of any pnrticipa
I ion in the offices all of which are reserved
for the exclusive use of gentlemen whose
only motive for becoming Republicans is
their conscientious conviction that unless
the high protective tariff is continued
their beloved South will suffer, and who
to avert from her the unspeakable evils
Which would follow lower prices for the
necessaries of life, are willing to incur
the odium of being called Republicans
and the burdens and cares of office inci
dent thereto. Who can withhold admir
ation from the pioneers in such an heroic
undertaking as this? Of course the negro
being largely interested in protected man
ufactures and well accustomed to get
nothing from the Presidents he elects,
will be glad to avail himself of the kind
permission given him to form separate
organisations.
Friends of Mr. George Bancroft, the
eminent historian, are greatly alarmed
at his fccbls condition, and it is feared
that the end is not far off. There are no
special ailments other than those that
accompany extreme old age.

The mouths of the subsidy hunters
are fairly watering for the approaching
Congress of American nations. They
exjiect to humbug all the Spanish-Ameri
can countries into giving tliem subsidies,
look for great things from the iiniro pol
icy of the secretary of State, and want
the entire internal revenue receipts to
pny Tor their private enterprises. -

The news seems almoat too good to be
true, but there is a possibility that the
Chicago Big Four, who are rolling in the
wealth mude by buying cattle cheap ant
selling beef dear, may soon encoanter

A Senator who has known Blaine for
twenty years, and who is also well ac
quainted with the leading- men in Wall
street, said the oilier night, in comment
ing upon what he regarded as "Blaine's
peculiar and uncoinlortable, poaition,"
that bethought Bluine would leave the
State Department very soon, perhaps
next month, and that he would not be
surprised if his friends, Gould and Hunt
ington, who are interesting themselves
in the re-orgniiiiation of the Atchison,
Toirka & Santa Fe Kiiilrond, should put
mume at the bend of it. "The election is
the second week in May," was the Sena
tor's closing remark.
