La-%t Moments of Coigrevs. The Adjournment-Priparations for the Oho Campaign-Effects of the Veto of the Marshals' Bill. Telegraphed to the New York Herald. WASHINGTON, July 1.-Congress adjourned amid general good humor and with no traces of bitter feeling be tween the members of opposite parties. The Ohio men were particularly glad to get away to begin the summer and fall campaign, and the Republicans seem inclined to meet Gen. Ewing's wishes by waking the canvass con spicuously on the currency issue. The Congressional committee has ordered. among other documents for distribu tion in Ohio, 40,000 copies of each (,f Congressman Morton's two speech_s on silver, the one opposing the frce coinage of silver, the other opposing the redemption of trade dollars. In some Republican quarters it was pretended to-day that the failure of the marshals bill would put a stop to all proceedings in the Federal Courts and inflict terrible calamities upon the country. A formidable list was pub lished of not less than eighteen in. stances in which the United States, it was asserted, would now be defence less at the mercy of evil doers. Of course this is all nonsense. The veio message gave incidentally some coun tenance to the fable, because the Pres ident recited in it the duties of war shals, which, if there were no mar shals, would of course remain undone. Bat he did not pretend that these du ties and offices would be prohibited or would remain unfulfilled through the lack of an appropiiation of money, and he does not intend to disband the force of marshals or to order them not to act. On the contrary, they will all go on with all their duties precisely as though the six hundred thousand dollar bill bad not been vetoed by the President, and all their legitimate ex penses will doubtless be covered by a deficiency bill at the next session, which, it is to be hoped, the President will not veto. That is to say, the fact that the marshals' bill was vetoed does not prohibit the marshals from acting in their lawful capacities, but only de lays their payment a few months. If it were otherwise the President would either not have vetoed the bill or he would have felt obliged to call an ex tra session. Those who suffer from nervous ir ritations, itching uneasiness, and the discomfort that follows from an en fee bled 'and disordered state of the sys temn, should take- AYER's SARsA PRIkLLA and cleanse the blood- Purge out the lurking distemper that under 'mines the health, and constitutional vigor will return. The MiarshaP's Bill Vetoed. What the President Has to Say About It. WAsHINGTON, June 30.-The Pres ident approved the bill making appro priations for judicial expenses, but vetoed the bill making appropriations to pay fees of United States marshals and their general deputies. The Pres ident says the bill cociains restric tions similar to those in that here tofore vetoed and concludes his mes sage as fellows : "In order to secure its euactment, the samne measure is again presented for approval, coupled in the bill before with appropriations for the support of marshals and their deputies during the next fiscal year. The object manifestly is to place be fore the Executive this alternative either to allow the necessary func tions of the publie -scrvice to be crippled or suspended for want of ap propriations required to keep them in operation, or to approve legislation which in an official communication to Congress he has declared would be a ' iolation of his constitutional duty. Thus in this bill the principle is clearly embodied that by virtue of the provision of the constitution which re quires that .all bills for raising rev enue shall originate in the House of Representatives, a bare majority of the House has the right to withhold appropriations for the support of the government unless the Executive con sents to approve any legislation which may be attached to the appropriation. I respectfully refer to the commzunica tions on this subject which 1 have sent to Congress during the present session for a statement of the grounds of my * conclusiions, and desire here merely to repeat that, in my judgment, to es tablish the principle of this bill is to make a radical, dangerous and uncon stitutional change in the character of our i:stitutions." , Indian Depredations. The fair reader shudders when she thinks of the settler's wife watching, from the door of her rude hut, the retreating form of her husband going out to his daily labor-going out per haps to return not again, for before nightfall a savage' band may have laid him low among the prairie grasses. Or it may be a child. a bright-eyed daughter, is snatched away in an un guarded moment, to grace the next war dance. When we read the heat rending details of these savage depre dations, we are apt to blame the gov ernment for not taking more strict precautions to insu1re the settler's pro tection. But we daily read of the depredations of that arch-fiend, con suimption, with scarcely a thought of the terrible in-roads it is making in human life. Tens of thousands of homes are annually desolated by con sumption to one by Indian outrage. Like the Indian, consumption oftenest comes stealthily, and no danger is ap prehended until the victim suddenly finds him3self hopelessly ensnared, and death's fatal arrow ends the scene., Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis- I T1I0S.

There are those who insist on thinking that the former times were better than these in every re spect. They say that the race is deteriorating, and, in support of their position, point to-what they so regard-the fact that our pres ent statesmen are inferior to those of the past. They claim that there are now no such public men as Calhoun and Clay and Webster; no such orators as Patrick Henry, John Randolph and Wm. Pinckney. In Great Britain they point to Fox, Burke, Pitt and. Sheridan as the type of statesmen that flourished in the eighteenth century, and claim that they are superior to those who now fill the British Parliament. That there has been a decline in oratory there can be no dubt ; but that proves nothing. Formerly a public man was a great man com pared to his constituents. He knew a great many things that were un known to them. He could instruct them by the hour. Public speaking then amounted to something more than rhetorical flourish and bom bast. The public speaker was a public educator. There was a pub lic demand for speech-making. But things have changed. The tele graph and the newspaper have ta ken the place of the stump spertker. What one man, however wise and exalted, knows now everybody knows. Nothing of importance transpires in the world that is not known in twenty-four hours to ev eryv man who reads the newspapers. The mechanic and the artisan knows as much about the rise and fall of dynasties, the contentions of political parties and the workings of government as the most advanced politician. Besides these facts, the school master has been abroad ; education has become almost uni versal. Things that were miracles and wonders to our forefathers a century ago are commonplaces to day. To be an orator onie must have something to say that will in struct ; something that will fix and hold the attention of his audience. This is a fast age, and people have not the time nor the inclination to lis ten to the worn out platitudes and the high-sounding commonplaces of ratorical nothings. Flowing en tences, rounded periods, flowery images are things of the past. The present age has little use for them. hey are tedious and tiresome rere buncombe. Some of the "great speeches" that thrilled the souls of past generations would fall flat upon the ears of the generation living to ay. And yet we insist that there never was a time when the human mind was more vigorous and more highly cultivated. The axioms of the present were the impossibilities f the past. What the world de ands now is action, not talk. hat eloquence has declined is no proof that the men of the present are inferior to their predecessors. n the other hand it is evidence of heir superiority in general intelli ence and enlightenment. From every section of the coun ry we hear of signs of returning prosperity. A New York gentle man in town a. few days ago said hat it was almost impossible to et hands enough in that city to do ll the building that is in progr-ess. rom the Augusta Chronicle and "ontitutionalist, and from an Au usta gentleman, we learn that uilding is more brisk there now han it has been for many years.

A clause in the new Constitution )f Louisiana, now being framed by Quick Work. A wonderful piece of railroading was accomplished a few days ago. Th St. Louis Iron Mountain Ihil Road, extending from St. Louis to Texarkana, was five feet wide, the standard width of railroads being four feet eight and a half inches. The width of this road caused great inconvenience and loss of time in loading and unloading cars at the termini, instead of sending them forward over connecting lines. For the past two months preparations have been going on to change the gauge to the standard width. Ii was necessary that this change be made in a very short time, so as not to stop freight and travel. Or the morning of June 28th, every thing having been got in readiness, three thousand men, extending all along the line, began the work of shifting the rails, and before night the whole line of seven hundred miles had been changed from five feet to the standard width. The axles of the locomotives and cars were at the same time changed sc as to correspond, and traffic and travel under the new order of things now proceeds without let or hindrance. Congress Adjourned. The extra session of Congress which met the 18th of April ad journed the 1st instant. We car only give a general resume of what has been accomplished : The Jurors Test Oath has been abolished; the use of troops at the polls has beer forbidden; the Supervisors of Elec tions and Deputy Marshals remair as heretofore, but the Marshals will get no pay for election work. Al one time it was feared that the Democrats would play "stalwart' and spoil everything by refusing appropriations unless Hayes ap proved the bills in the form the3 desired; but counsels prevailed and though all was not accomplish ed that we desired the Democratic party have reason to be pretty wel satisfied with the results.

The trip from Newberry and thc ow country to the mountains is not uch an undertaking as it used to be. ou can now leave Newberry or Char eston-indeed almost any point in the State-in the morning and spend the ight in Asheville, N. C. Thursday norning~ we took the freight train at ewberry for Aiston. WVaiting~ there wo hours we camne on the Spartan. urg, Union and C.olumbia road to his place. T1his road is in splendid ondition ; the coaches are elegant, ad the speed is good-25 miles an our. At Alston crowds of low-coun ry people, bound for Ilenderson, Ashe ille and other points, come on: be ides two large coaches filled with anvited guests were transferred from th G. & C. to the S. U. & . road. would be able to get their eating and sleeping in Hendersoville, dropped Of at Spartauburg, to await the extra train the next morning. Instead of one train the next morning, there were two, one starting nearly an hour after the uther. There has been so much said and written about the Spartauburg & Asheville R. R., that I amu afraid I will be tedious. The scenery I could not venture to de. scribe-it is beyond the power of de scription-it must be seen to be ap preciated. It is easy enough to say that it is grand, and sublime, and beautiful, and allI that ; but that fails to convey any idea. I have traveled over the Blue Ridge on horseback; but that was tame compared to this. Here you have finer views, and they are presented in such rapid succession that the eye never wearies. But I cannot dilate on the beauticE and the grandeur of the scenery. It is all that the vivid imagination uan picture. Let th:,se who have not seen it take a trip on the Spartanburg & Asheville Railroad-it will richly repay them. The construction of this road is a mar vel of euterprise ; the location of the line is the work of genius. Maj. Duncan, in his speech at Henderson ville, said : "Whenever I ascend the Blue Ridge through the deep cuts and over the yawning chasms, and the panting engine stops to rest on the brow of the mountain, I feel like tak ing off my hat to Thaddeus Coleman" -the Engineer ; and this must be the sentiment of every one who contem plates the skill and the genius dis played. At every step he was met by a barrier apparently impassable, yet he never stopped or faltered, but like Longfellow's here his motto through it all was "Excelsior"-higher. Over thirty years ago when Robt. Y. Hayne and others were agitating the building of this road over the Blue Ridge, an appropriation was ask ed of the Legislature, to aid in the work. A grave old Senator rose in his place and said that he thought they had better make an appropriation to enlarge the Lunatic Asyluin, for those who advocated such a road were fit subjects for that institution. We can give on ly a few of the re markable features of the road. As we were flying along the moun tain side we saw just two hundred yards to our right, and away above us, what seemed another railroad running parallel. In a few minutes we were on that very spot, many feet higher up the mountain, and looking across at the track below over which we had gone-to overcome that two hundred yards we had gone one mile and a quarter. The greatest feat of engin eering is that of the three miles be tween North Paeolet river and Saluda, the summit of the mountain. The first intention was to scale this dis tance by winding around the moun tain. a distance of 101 miles, at an ex pense of $700,000. This plan was abandoned, and the road was construct ed in nearly a straight line. The grade is very heavy; the rise in the three miles is 632 feet, the maximum grade being 286 feet to the mile. A stran.ge fact is, that Butt Moun tain Gap, the highest point on the road-over 2,300 feet high-is a swamp, and reminds one very much of the swamps he sees in the low country. The crowd at the 4th of July bar bec4e was immense: several States were represented. Hardy mountain eers, and Siwkins' "Piedmont girls", from forty miles around were there. Very many of them had never before seen a railroad. As we approached Hendersonville at full speed we saw these eager mountaineers, with open eyes and mouth, gazing at the ap proaching train. The engineer fetch ed a long blow, the cannon fired a sa lute; and Simkins' girls and their uncles and their aunts and their cous ins "skedaddled" through the brush wood as if old Nick himself were after them. Gov. Jarvis, of N. C., delivered the address of welcome: the barbecue din ner was disposed of in short order, and the speaking began. The following parties held forth: Gov. Simpson, of S. C., ex-Gov. Centre, of Tenn., Maj. Wilson, of N. Y'., Judge Fowles, of N. C., S. YT. Tupper, of Charleston, D. R. Duncan, of S. C., Judge Inger soll, of Tenni., J. M. Leach, of N. C., Attorney-General YToumans, of S. C., ex-Gov. Bonham, of S. C., R. Y. Mc Aden, of Atlanta, Mr. Busby, of Rad. igh, and J. W. IR. Pope, of the Col auibia Register. Your corresponident is still living, but the doctors say one more speech would have proved fatal.

Such is the difficulty attend ing reforms and changes, no matter what speculationists and demagogues assert, that it requires time and a gen eration or so, growing up with the changes, befLre they can be demonstra tively effected ; and then it is only the gradual wearing away of old time pre judices and ideas, through and by the insinuating, creeping, noiseless, oblit erating steps of time. When we speak to our people of fish culture, so little acquainted are they with the im provements of science and art and the wonderful results therefrom, that they seem to doubt it. Like the boy who started to mill, with a rock on one side of his bag and a half bushel of corn in the other, and was induced by a progressive stranger to throw away the rock and equalize the oorn on both sides; yet who after proceeding a hundred yards or so was so worried in mind about the old custom and man ner in which he had been brought up, that he stopped, untied his bag, put the corn to itself and substituted a rock in the other end, and then rode on easier in mind. So it is with our people, they have no confidence in it. They doubt this fish culture because there is connected with it a singular myste:7 which they are not able to solve and comprehend; and in a ma. jority of cases say : Foreign countries never produced any fish, and may amuse themselves with such stuff to feed a starving population with in crease of food supplies, by the practice of the art of IPisciculture, but the for 'tile, boundless, inexhaustible waters of our streams, teeming with fish, re q1uire no supplementary resources of an art so doubtful. Let the fish, they say, do as heretofore, do their own spawning-their own hatching-that is the old way, the surest way, the best way. That is all they know, they don't know that science, intelligence is power. Well, let us see how matters stand. We will have to refer to the pages of Hlewitt, Adair, Williawstou, Mil' Statistics, Ramsay, Logan, Carroll's Compilations, Gibbes, Johnson's Re miniscences of South Carolina, and they inform us that once the Santee, the Wateree, the Congaree, Broad, Saluda, Edisto, Savannah, Keowee, Seneca, Sandy Flat, Enoree, Tyger and Catawba Rivers, together with Paeolet, Thickety, Turkey, Bullock's, Stevens', Long Cane, Indian and Duncan's Creeks, with many other tributaries, were famous in days gone by for an overflowing abundance of fish, as sturgeon, pike, trout, bream, perch, mud-fish, suckers, rock, shad, herring, cat, gar, eel, soft shelled turtle, terrebree and cray fish. Where now are those countless schools of fish? Where have they gone to? Seventy five years ago people thought and said they can never be destroyed. Alas ! for the march of civilization. Is it so ? We pause for a reply. WVe have a population to-day in the United States of 50,000,000. In twenty-five years hence, with the pro gressive strides made in this respect, we will number 90,000,000. South Carolina to-day numbers at least 715,. 000. In twenty-five years hence, from the increase of population, though its percentage of increase has been by no means as much as that of many other States; yet with the changes and shiftings of progress with the ever rolling, moving, ceaseless tide of marching emigration and increase that will develop and unfold itself, owing to developments unseen and unknown to the shrewdest and nmost calculating, will number, despite every obstacle, ovr1,000,000. In regard to the Lu ture no human being knows or cant speculate how soon the population of this great country, if it goes on unbro ken and undisturbed in its magnificent march toward empire, may equal Eu rope; nor how soon poor, unfortunate,t mismanaged South Carolina may pre- t sent a territory into which will pour I untold numbers, from its resogrees, its climate, its productions, that may place her oni a footing with New York. t Basing our remarks on this, we say I it would be unwise, it would be uni patriotic. unstatesmanlike, it would be donanijsie oteicmn oiglain in ustc tow othei on populatin and thr owdn pothnerbity to contewn or throw aside, through eel. b Let us for information, in regard to what we should do in our own State, take up the action of the State gov arinDeits of )Iaiue, New Hampshire, Vi-rmont, Massag.husetts, North Caro ina, Ihode Island, New York. Penn ylvaniia, with ti.any otht.r Sta:cs, and see what has been done. Well, what? Why they havc appointed Commis si(oners for the encouragenierit of fish (ulture. Their State Legilatures have appropriated thousands of dollars for this purpose. While they have been economical. thevy have riot been illiberal or stingy. 1lany people will argue it ought to be done clhceip, as it is a new and doubtful experiment. We say it is nt doubtful, it is an es tablished truism ; but whilst it should be done cheap, it cannot be done for nothing. The appropriations of Mas sachusetts alone for one year amounted to $30,000. Everywhere the results have been productive, vastly produc tive. In 1867 millions of shad spawn were placed in the Connecticut River and batched out by the hatching pro. cess. In 1870 the return or the catch in the Connecticut River was without parallel, 30,000 shad in one place was taken out in the Spring. It requires four or five years, bear in mind, for shad and salmon to reach their best condition. The results have been so stitisfactory that fish cultiva tion is now deemed an essential ele ment. All the waters of this State can be filled with fish adapted to them, with other additions. It has been proved that both fresh and salt water fish readily adapt themselves to new localities. The aristocratic salmon has bathed himself in waters, through this process, with which his ancestors were unacquainted. Pickerel have been introduced into the ponds of Berkshire, the great pike of the North eru lakes have been transferred to the Connecticut River, the salt water smelt lives in various ponds near Boston, and in many parts of Maine, and the tautog within a few years has found a new bone in Massachusetts Bay, North of Cape Cod. In like manner can be transferred to our waters nume rous edible fish that will contribute not only to our fastidious appetites but to the real wants of needy thousands. Every acre of water within the State of South Carolina is worth, and will be worth, two acres of land if properly farmed. Let our people spend but one-thousandth part of the same spent in tilling the land --in cultivating the water-and fish may, can and will be sold here-in Newberry County-and at the Court House, at two cents per pound. FORt THE HERALD. Our WVashington Letter. WASHINGTON, B. C., July 2, 1879. The 8ssionl which closed yesterday did much to familiarize the people with the methods of Government which have been in force for the last few years, and therein was profitable to the Democratic party and the people at large. There was danger to free government in the unchallenged au thority of the Republican party, not because the people were apathetic, but because they did not fully realize the enormity of abuses which had grown up during and since the war, and which were regularly sanctioned and provided for in appropriations until they had come to be considered neces. sities. This session has extinguished them as effectually as if the laws cre ting them had been repealed, as was t first attemipted. Below is a list of the acts and reso utions of the sessions, so far as they re of general interest: To prevent the introduction of con ~agious diseases; to contract for the ~onstruction of a refrigeratiwg ship or the djsirifection of tessels and car ~oes ; extending the pension of Gen. Tas. Shields to his widow and chil Irn, and granting a special pension ;o the widow of Col. Fletcher Web ter; exempting from registry, enroll nent or license vessels not propelled >y sail or internal motive power of ~heir own; joint resolution relating to ~he national board of health; to pro ide for a Mississippi River Commis ion ; completion of the foundation of he Washington mo nument; direct na monument to be erected to mark he birth place of Washington. That creating a Mississippi River 3mmission is one of the most impor ant measures that ever passed Con ~ress. In terms it mentions only the ne river, but ultimately not only that reat river but its tributaries will be braced in the work of the Commis ion. A population greater than that ow in the coun try will yet live in the rritory directly affected by the im rovements contemplated. Speaking of population I am re uinded to say that General Walker, uperinendent of the Census, is ac ively at work. and that he purposes aviug in 1880 the best and most comn lete report ever wade of the popula ion, manufactures and productions of ny country.
