Editor. sr WSTAlign* Cameron has been elec­ ted Senator br the Wisconsin Legis­ lature, to succeed the laic Matt C. Carponter. •SFThere is great speculation as td the probabilities of an extra session of <>njjre#s» It Is understood that' Presi­ dent G-arAeld does uot favor it, al­ though it is true that the administra­ tion will be somewhat embarrassed by the failure of the act providing for re­ funding t!;e bonds falling due in May. Had Congress passed the bill without making war upon the National Banks, the loan would have been taker, rapid­ ly at three per cent. Such a Dill would not. have been vetoed by President , Hayes. The judgment of the country approved his action, and the veto turned back a tide that seemed likely to sweep like the besom of destruction over tho business interests of the whole country. THIS INAUGURAL President Garfield's Inaugural Ad­ dress is like the man, and meets and satisfies the expectations of the peo­ ple. It is brief, sound and sensible to the core, outspoken and emphatic In Its utterances, clear and unmistakable In Its meaning, scholarly in expression, and while It is so thoroughly Republi­ can that it might well be adopted as the creed of the Republican part/, it Is so tree from a narrow partisanship as to command encomiums from Demo­ crats as well as Republicans. Its par­ tisanship, if so it can be called, is the broad partisanship of deep conviction, so expressed as to command the re­ spect of all. Our limited space forbids extended comment. We should like to present our readers with a few out of the mul­ titude of favorable comments of the press, an<l especially or the Democrat­ ic press of the South; bus we an com­ pelled to forbrnr. |&*Tlie last Illinois Fish Commis­ sion in its last report said: From the 1st of August 1879, to Sept. 30th, *18S0, there have been taken from places where tliev would have died if not res­ cued, and deposited in the rivers and lakes along the Mississippi and Illinois rivers, and distributed to various ponds and streams throughout the State. 199J bushels of yonng native flsh of all varieties, such as bass, crop-pic. wall- «jred pike, perch, sunflsh, catfish, bull pouts, etc. The Commissioners esti­ mate 20.000 to the bushel, which would *ive an aggregate of 5.895.000 fi9h._ Every native flsh planted in any of our stream? is said to be an assured suc­ cess. The Commissioners have on hand ready for distribution, about 20.- 000 black bass, crop pie, etc. These are kept In ponds and live boxes, and can be had on application. They have as far as possible, supplied all who came for them, with yonng native flsh, and •re pleased to note a rapidly Increased interest In the subject of flsh culture In almost every section of the State. tRB«TIMhS"ONPBIt8IOB!(TOABriKlO. In speaking of President Garfield, *h<* Chicago Timet says: Hardly has there been a President elnce James Monroe whose entrance up on the high office was made the oc­ casion for so little unfavorable com­ ment In the public journals as tluttf&of Mr. Garfield has elicited. His Inaug­ ural address has been treated kindly and approvingly by the press of all opinions, in all sections. Even that portion of it which express so clearly and emphatically the president's views on the negro-suflrage quostion at the south Js, met by no intemperate or puguaciouS criticism iij the better class of touthern journal*. On the contrary, expressions of confidence In the char­ acter, ability, honesty, and complete trustworthiness of the new president come from al! ssctions and all men. It Is evident that no president in this generation has entered upon his office enjoying in a greater degree the public confidence, and esteem. Can it be that we have arrived onee more at the be­ ginning of an era of good feeling. <W Cable dispntches bring the sad liewe of the assassination of the Czar. Alexander II.. of Russia, which took place on Sunday last, a* he was re­ turning from a public parade. The dastardly act was accomplished by throwing glass balls, filled with dainnyte. the first only shattering his carriage, hut the second dropping at Ills feet blew off both his legs and mutilated Ijim in a shocking'manner.--' There were two assassins, the first hav­ ing failed the second accomplished h'.s object. But one was captured. This Is the Mxth time that an open attempt, lias been made on the life of the Czar. The brutal Nihilists of Ru*. «ia. under whosa instigation the as«assiimtion was committed, de­ serve. as they will no doubt receive, the bitter condemnation of the civ­ ilized world. No matter what the l>ro*oeatfotiv there could be no good cause for this inhuman act. it ts true that a government like his «ouh] not live in the United States, but the Rus­ sian people are not used to the liber­ ties of America.and in many respects the late Czar has greatly improved up­ on the policy of bis predecessors.

VINKLAND, March 7th, 1881.3 EDITOR PLAIN-DEALER:--I have, been here almost two years, and I thought I should like to write, you a little about «>ur preijy place. We left Chicago about five o'clock of the evening of t),e 7th of October, 1879, and arrived here the 9th, the distance being about eight hm-dred mllos. Vineland Is situated on the lower peninsula of New Jersey; it Is thirty sfour miles from Philadel­ phia, and one hundred and fifteen miles from New York, at the junction of West Jersey R. R.--running from Philadelphia to Cape May--and the New Jersey Southern!R. R.--running from New York, via, Sandy Hook and Long Branch (with connections to all the New Jersey^ seasidej watering places.) Tlie track of Vineland con­ tains about fifty square miles of farm lands, orchards, vineyards, gardens, etc., and the thriving city of Vineland, one mile square, about in its center. It is said to have been settled about the 18th of Augi:st. 1861. by Chas. K. Lan- dis, who came here, bought land cheap, advertised greatly, and the people, black and white, came flocking to tlie place,* for a time. It grew more at first than it; has of latereirs. Thlre' ts no water very near us, except one of .the small branches of the Maurice river, and a partly artificial lake «iThls lake they improve upon yearly; the last Improvement being an island. The names of^some of our ^principal streets are: Landls Av., the Boule­ vards, Eighth, Seventh. Sixth. Peach, Pear, Plum and Wood. Our side-walks are not made of wood as yours are, but consist of thejbare earth, and they; are no! muddy, even in wet weather, for the rai l sinks into the ground, and leaves the ground almost dry, a few hours after. The soil is productive un­ der the treatment of common good farm culture, and the crops grown are those that pay the best in markets of New York, Philadelphia and Boston.-- The past season ever ten thousand bar­ rels of sweet potatoes were shipped, fifteen hundred tons of grapes, and as many as ten car loids of blackberries a day. etc. The Board of Trade of Vineland says: "When it isconsldered that a bushel of sweet potatoes will sell for as much as a bushel of wheat in the West, and a quart of blackberries for as much as a bushel of corn, the advan­ tages of farming in Vineland over the West, can easily be£calculated." Also, '•The climate is better, the market is better, it is better calculated for the success of many families than the far and cold West, with its arctic winters, and dry and hot summers, and bad water. In Vineland the water is good, and it is so healthy that it has become a health resort for invalids, and tho climate and water are a ^pacific for many diseases." We have now an in­ telligent population of between six and seven thousand, several railroad sta­ tions, one hundred and eighty miles of splendid roads, streets and broad avenues, lined with shade trees, mostly the catalpa, tulip, maple, chestnut and the Jersey pines; many fine residences, fifteen church edifices, a flue High School, and numerous other nice schools. A great deal of business is carried on here. It now lias four shoe-factories, three button-factories, steam mills, foundry, machine shop, one glove fac- tory, pocket-hook factory, and exten­ sive inanufacturies of clothing. By a fundamental township taw, the ques­ tion of "License or No License is sub­ mitted to a popular vote at every Spring election, and so far only twenty- flve votes have been cast for license."-- A building Association, Saving Bank, and a National Bank have been estab­ lished. It Is the residence of Marcius Wilspn. the author of tho school book; Mrs. Mary Treat, the entomologist; Mrs. Charity L. Mabbit, the botanist; Mrs. F. D.Gage, the poet pnd" author; and Mrs. Augusta Cooper Bristol, the lecturer; who is very mnch interested in the familistere movement. We have many soclties here, the priucipal of w.hlcli are the Reform Club, Floral Society. Grange and Ma­ sons. Tlie Reform Club has been or­ ganized only four years, although this has been a temprance town ever since its foundation. We have not alienor saloon in the city. Our Floral So­ ciety is doing a great and good (work, too; it U composed entirely of ladies, and while they teach and learn a great deal of plants and flowers, they gatiier much other instruction. They have formed a cooking school for girls, and it promises to be a success. They have bought a lot. and have built a nice lit­ tle hall. The Grange is well attended by many of the Vineland farmers, and they are doing work which goes to make a pleasant town. The flowers of Vineland are a very great feature of beauty. Our roses are particularly heiutlfui. If you visit Vineland in June, you will see a town of roses, and it Is so pleasant to get the fragrance of the different gardens. We have the foundation of a beautiful park fald,and some day it will do credit to us. We have two drilled bands. One formed by the workers at one of the factories. They have been formed about two years, are furnished with uniforms, and I think most equal to the McHeury band. Tlie other is a juvenile band, composed of boys from fourteen tosix- Theykave been organized about teen. a year, have their uniform?, and give some excellent music. Both bands are hired by other towns, and play at most every occasion here. Having given you a few iteuu concerning our town, 1 must close. Yours truly, EMMA A. PAT. Maine News.
