CLEMENTS, oct 31, tds Sheriff. - The rights, in the Provincial fish eries have been, to a greater or less degree, a bone of contention between, the United ib»tf8 iuid Greht Britain since the independence of the Colon- 'ea wMjyppguized. InUie ejrjy.duya of the Bepuplic fisliing’Y.^s rjjwyre- ly a much more 1 in pm'taut industry than now, oertiiinly.in so for as the sea’fisheries were a que^lpn qf inter? natio.httl politics. It was essentially an Atlantic in- duatn, eiidwqwe tlimi; essiarti »n AXJbe the Bevolutionary. War this question of th,q fisheijiqs was jhought of such importance that JoVn Adams said that he wdhhl con timid the war ra ther than give up the fisheries. The Third Article of (ho Treaty of Inde pendence deolaros: “It is agreed that the people of the United States Shall continue to enjoy unmolested the right to take fish Of every kind on the Graud Bank and on all the other banks of Newfoundland; also, -in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, und at all other places in the sea where the inhabitants of bofli countries used at any time heretofore to fish,” This privilege was exercised till the War of 1812. In the Treaty of Ghent, made in December, 1814, this condi tion was not really changed, though that treaty was not sufficiently clear upon this questiun. Great Britain claimed, however, that the War of 1812 abrogated all • rights obtained by the United States by the Treaty of Independence, a claim which we resisted. In the Treaty of London, of October 20, 1818, it was agreed that in British wuters north of the Gulf of St. Lawrence the people of the United States should have the right of five fisheries, but the United States relinquished thu right' to “take, 4 dry or oure Hall on or within three mar ine miles of any of the coasts, buys, creeks or harbors of His Britannic Majesty’s dominions in America not included within the above-mentioned limits.” But this change was not of practical importance, tor the great fishery at that time was that of the cod and the halibut, and principally outside of the three-mile line, and for twenty years the people of this coun try continued to lish in ull the Bri tish waters us they had done before. Later, Great Britaiu maintained that the American citizens had no right to fish within a line drawn from headland to headland across the buys and inlets of the Provinces. No such .yords as “headland” appeared in the treaty on whioh England bused this claim, and it wub, of course, meant that the three-mile line should fol low the line of the shore. This was was one of the many inequitable pre tensions, or lawless aggressions, of Great Britaiu in connection with the question of the fisheries, and it would even have forbidden American fish erman to fish in the Buy of Funduy, which so farely lies along the Maine coasts. T.hiSiChange in the jealousy of Great Britain touching tho three- mile line arose from a change in the mode of fishing. The fisherman had begun to take mackerel by “jigger fishing” and seining. England seiz ed the American fishiug vessels on this lawless theory as to the head lands and three-miles line, and cau sed them to be condemned in her Provincial Courts of Admiralty, and as a three-mile line on the sea is part ly imaginary, this was often done on yery Provincial evidence. Many of these seizures were acts of war, and should.have been so declared, but they were simply discussed diplomatically, a pasjdme. that did not remunerate our fisherman for the losses they had curred by British violation of trea ty obligations. The Beoiprooity Tre4tvjof'I854 followed. This was to eiftf ( jrpars, The question of the fisheries was only’ incidental in -this treaty. After its abrogation in f808 the Canadian Provincial Gov- erh^fiftti established a license fee or fifty cents per ton for the* right of free: fishing and for landing and our- mg fish upon the Provincial coastk We Iiad 14,000 tons of fishing vessels, This license amounted to $7,000 a privileges granted by the license having really been granted by inter- national treaty. Then, oupie ihe Treaty of Wash ington and the Halifax Award. Pending the Treaty of Washington the British OommlEiilmers offered to ppncsde to Amerioane tho right of free fishing if a reciprocity in the in terchange of the proiluots ol Cumuli, andithe United State*could be givon, and the offer waH declined. The fish ing right was then offered to the United States if this Government ould admit Canadian lumber free duty, and this was refused. Wo are not;expressing an opinion as to the wisdom of these refusals; we men tion tlie fact. The United States then offered one million of dollars for free fishing foreve", and this of- ler was declined. The Washington Treaty, flnully adopted, gave the citizens of tho United States the right of fishing, and landing to dry lish and nets, and Using harbors for purposo of shelter, along tho coasts of Nova Scotio and Now Brunswick —no more. All other rights we had under former treaties. We by the same trciuy gave Canada the equal right of free fishing along our coasts from Eastport to Delaware Bay, and also gave Great Britain the right to import Canadian fish and fish-oil free of duty. These concessions to England amounted, it is estimated, to more than $4UU,000 per annum. A Commission was appointed to ad just tlie money difference between these grants of privilege, and a ma jority of tlmt Commission made tlie Halifax award of $5,500,000 to Eng land for the money value of the dif ference between the concessions nam ed above. It was an extravagantly unreasonable award,LwKthat it was .nil aWiml-at-aHr-UaivJA Hdu-smly .by a majority of the Commission, the award should have bed'll made unani mous, is seriously and logically dis puted. It is denied that this award could be made by umarjority, merely, of the Arbitrators, and this denial was very ably made in Congress last Juno by General Butler, from whose speech we have freely drawn. An Englishman und a gentleman chosen by the Austrian Minister at the Court of 8t. James n.udc the award, the representative of thoUni- ted States protesting. The award was not only shockingly excessive, but it is plausibly agreed that it was nominated in the bond that it should be unanimously mude, should be of suob u character thutu fair-minded representative of the United States could give the consent of this coun try to the same. This is u glimpse of the question of the fisheries; und now England in- on theory that the rights of American fishermen, secured by treaty, are still subject to local, Provincial legislation of her subjects—that the statutes ol'Now- fouudland, for example, override a treaty between Eiigluuu und the United States. Let us hope that the country will adhere to the position taken by Mr. Evarts in his letter to Lord Salisbury sent through Mr. Welsh, our Minister to England. ,pf.J p yea#,; and for (;wo years-thU vyas paid, Thiji licei^e fee was preSeotiy . doub led,Swonllitltagdo illi'ik®’ a year Thill was again, increased to $2 a ton or $38,0.00. a year, which our fisher men refused to pay, nearly all ef the A WIFE TURNS OUT TO BE A MAN.

In New York some time since, a combination was formed to defeut cer tain regular Democratic nominees Those Democrats who went into the combination perhaps did so for what they thought good and an tin-ell t rea sons Tlmt they would be dragged into opposition tn leg-ilar no-'LhoiHnabl- Democratic candidates for Congress and into indirect aid to Senator Coiiklingin bis bloody shirt cam paign lor re-electing, they probably had no idea. Day by day, however, the truth is being made plain, and before election, it is to be hoped, many of them will see the trap into which they are being drawn. There is no proper place for a Democrat but in the Democratic party. In Pennsyl vania less plausible slicmos threaten ed for awhile to injure Democratic prospects. Tlie latest reports from both States are encouraging. The wonderfully clear statement -if til • parties which are necessary in an elec tion and representative government, made a few days since by Senator Thurman, receives fresh ojutlrmatiou in the Congressional nominations being made daily. In New York, (or instance, the combined opposition to tlie Democrats lias putin nominu- toil! some of the principal bunkers of the country. As Senator Thurman’s statement was at once clear and able, and tits particularly tho present con dition of ufluirs, I give it ill full; The third purty contains many good men, and not a few misguided men. The idea lliut it can absorb tlie Democratic party, or tils Repub lican party, or draw enough from them both to become the dominant parly, is fallacious. In a country of free institutions there never has been and there never.will .be, hut two great permanent parties, the one of privileges enacted by law anil tlie oilier a purty of equal rights. In our 'Country.the purty uf equal l-iglils is tlie Democratic party. The parly of privlegcs created by luw, bus ever been, and yet is,-the party op posed to Demuoruoy. 1 excluded from the comparison the slavery of the blacks that formerly existed not only in the South butiu tlie North. That was forced upon us by our English ancestors. Excluding thnt, what stute was ever passed by a Deinoorutio Gongress or a Democra tic Legislature to confer special priv- iledge upon Democrats? Not one But on the other hand, every pub lic debt law every bunking law, every subsidy law, has conferred immense privileges upon onr opponents. Sir, the Democratic party is the natural party of free institutions. It is indestructible so long as such in stitutions exist. There has been a sudden collapse of the late imposing bloody shirt renewel. Everybody should remem ber, to the discredit of Senator Conk- liug, that but for him we should have bud little references in tlie pres ent campaign to the silly fictions of outrages in the South. These sto ries are relics of a time when one section was willing to be governed by hatred of another. The Commission to inquire into the advisability of transfering the Indian Bureau to the War Department has finished its investigation, and will now commence the preparation of its report. Honest and experienced men differ on this subject, but no intelligent man doubts the urgent necessity of removing from the In terior Department some of its Bureaus. Secretary Schurz is wholly unable to give attention to ail his duties, and the consequence is that Bureau officers practically manage the Department, leaving him only the honor of being a figure head and the profit attaching to that honor. The Secretary within a week used substantiuly his language in reference to one of the most important ques tions which has ceme before him. “I believe you have law and equality and custom aud common sense on your side, gentleman, but my sub ordinate ought to understand these things better than I do, for he is specially charged with their perfor mance, and I must sustain him.” Such action may be in part the res ult of natural inaptitude for practi cal affaire ou the part of the Secreta ry, but doutless.it comes in part also from tbe impossibility of one man doing intelligently all the work imposed upon the head of the De partment. Austin. Some Vcrj Unexpected Iteninrks From Wendell I'lillllps. One of the interesting reminis cences of his recent trip throughout tile east General James Shields tells, is of an interview with Wendull Phillips. They met in Boston, and Mr. Phillips, iri ihe oouree of I lie conversation, exclaimed with some earnestiirBs: “G lierul Shields, I want to see southern democracy get hack into possession of Ibis government.’' Shields laughed, asked how that could be after he had fought the southern people so hard. “I know I did,” said Phillips, “but that was on account of slavery. Sla very is dead now and I want the soutli to get control of tlie gnvern- men t. ;‘liut you used to Bay," argued Shields, “tlmt the south had tn hash over the northern democincy.” “I know I did, and the northern democracy deserve it,” continued Mr. Phillips. “Wo have no states munship in the north. Our leaden RELIGIOUS. RELIGION AT HOME. Religion tit home is more precious that at olitiech, or in the world. Ev ery day eacli family should worship as regularly ns they eat. Hate they lime to cut? [.et the soul have food. Open the Bible and have God talk to the family; pray and praise in songs, and on bended knees ask mer cies. A family wiiliout worship is a domestio orphanage, and u school ol unbelief, sensuality and Bin. \\ iih- out spiritual life a;, home, it will he wholly lacking or exceedingly thin abroad. Children will grow up Christinns; physical objects and car nal life will absorb attention. Willi pure, sincere, tender religion al home, children will begin to be Christians so soon ns they learn o! the Saviour's loieand never know of rebellion. Why should tlie offspring of saints be for one moment exposed to con demnation? Why sliquld lln-y not, know tbo Saviour sc soon ns tiny know sin? Generally they will if „ , , .

We want the old style of 8outhem statesman who had thoughts above dollars, and who leg islated as they believed for the wel fare o! the country, and not for indi vidual profits. They had a compe tence, and they acted as if there were higher aims and ambitions than the mere accumulation of weal h. We want such men in con gress again, aud in control too.” “But, Mr. Phillips, in killing sla very haven't you killed oil’ that class of statesmen and the possibility of their Veprodnction ! Slavery made a 8ouf|H‘m aristocracy possible. The favored ^ _ r tentibn frorif business and. •sordid cares to questions of state. I ven ture the assertion tlmt the south without slavery won’t produce the quality of statesmanship you ad mire so much.” “Ah, there’s the trouble, there’s the trouble,” said Phillips reflec tively, “I don’t know but you’re right.” I can't help thinking it’s a great pity,” says Gen. Shields following up this thought of Phillips “that we haven't in this country a large class of men in our politics whom the question of livelihood never presses itself forward lor consideration ; I mean men who are born well to do, who are thoroughly and well educa ted and who turn their attention to to statesmanship as a study a profes sion in which their ambition is the good of the state, and consequent upon such a course of personal rep utation. France has the advantage of us in having a largo middle class of men of birth and wealth who stand between the government aud the people and fulfill the pro- i of \ fly-wheel in the great, political machine.” Bi ll ng, upon thousands of uh.inuli-mci live like infidels at home. Th hie is unread, praises never prayer never heard. Can they nut r ad? Why not let God apeak (<> them out of his word? Can they not pray? The Lord’s Prayer can at least be repeated in concert. Is there no time to take counsel of God? It is waste of time and waste of life to ignore God? We can have no real home without him. It requires a Heavenly Father as well as earthly parents to make a sweet, healthful, ubsolute home. What do do liviu;', if we he able to turn their at‘^ ***«.ui of * which hath been passed through 'ty all that have lived, and must he by all that shall live? We pray, un dress, aud prepare for sleep that is * not one night long; and shall we do less for death,in whose arms we must, rest, prisoners till the angel with his trumpet summons him forth to re sign us? This will not make life more troublesome, hut more comfor table. lie may play that he hath done his task. No steward need fear a just Lord when his accounts are even and always ready drawn up.— Owen Felltliam. A little boy o f ‘ six was deeply in terested in reading “The Pilgrim’s “Progress, the charactersiu that won derful book all real living men and women to him. One day he came to his grandmother and said: “Grandma, which of all the people do you like best?” “I like Chris tian,” was the reply, giving the lit tle boy her reasons; “which do you like the best?” Looking up in her face, with some hesitation he said, slowly, “I like Christiana.” Why, my son ?” “Because she took the children with her, grandma.” A PRODIGY OF LEARNING. England has lately lost a prodigy of learning in the person of the R .*v. Wm. Lin wood, aged 61, whom Dr. Kennedy, heard master of Shrews bury school, himself a famous schol ar, dubbed the best scholar of his age England aud probably one of the best iu the world. When he gradua ated first-class in classies at Oxford, being asked what books he brought up for examination, he re plied, “The whole range of Greek and Latin literature,” and his pre eminence was bo conspicuous that the examiners were reported at the time to have considered whether, de parting from the rule, they ought not to place his name conspicuous and alone at the head of the class. Yet this man never got beyond a curacy—he did not take priest's or ders—and for 31 years his life was passed in seclusion, devoted to pre paring works iu the classics, and lat terly to the study of astrology.

We think of going away; let us think of ar riving. And as the voice of death whispers, “You must go from earth,” let us hear the voice of Christ saying, “You are but coming to mol”—Nor man McLeod. Trials and Temptations.—Dark days strengthen our vision by in ducing us to seek .earnestly to trace the landmarks and fix our eyes on the invisible Sun; storms toughen the fibers Of the faith-cable by which we are made fast, to the Rock; temp • tation draws us into closer personal contact with Him who is able to suc cor them that are tempted. Believers have unspeakable com fort in the consideration of Christ’s present affeciion to them, and his effectual intercession for them. He put not off his bowels in his low condition here, but hath carried them along to his throne.—Leighton. I believe thut there is no away; that no love, no life, goes ever from us; it goes as He went, that it may come again, deeper, und closer, and surer;, add be with us always, even i to the end of the world.—Afro Whit ney.
