That, however, was a matter of official propriety as to which every man must judge for himself. Mr. Blair defended Congress from the criticisms made by the President, ami stated that somo of the President's statements were entire misapprehension of the facts. Mr. Blair gave instances to support his own assertion. He charged that the Pension Office, as organized, was organized to reject claims whenever that could lie done.

Pa., Three Hundred Factory UlrlM Strike. Furnishing Goods, And Trunks, Shoes, Clothing, Hats,. Raleigh, N. C., June 24.—The people of this vicinity are perplexed over a phenomenon that is observed along the southeastern coast of the State. An oily soutn on the water extends for several miles out to sea and affects the rivers for a long distance inland, making the surface smooth and calm. Fish are dying by thousands and floating like chips on the surface of the water. It is supposed that they are poisoned by this oily Bcnm, bat whence the destroyer comes nobody knows. A suggestion that a ship loaded with oil may have foundered in the vicinity is scouted, because from Lock wood's Folly all the way to Little river the scuin is found and the coast is strewn with dead fish all the way. In the salt water abont Shallotte and Tnbb's inlet are immense quantities of the dead fish of every kind, and it is feared that there are no live fish left in the Shallotte river or within ten miles of its month. The water seems to have become as oil and the wind seems to make no impression on it.
