The Fishing Question.

It is remembered that last summer, there
arose n difficulty between Great Britain and this
Government, respecting claims to certain fishing
grounds on The coast Of the British Provinces.
At the time diplomacy was entered into, and it
was thought that the matter would be speedily
and satisfactorily adjusted. But late events
point otherwise than 10 such a result. The
following upon this subject, which we take
from a late letter of the Washington cores
pondent of the Charleston Courier, will be
read with interest:
hear. to-day, that no arrangement has yet
been made in regard to the fishery question,
and that none can be made. The President
has remarked, in reply to suggestions on the
subject, that it is one full of difficulty. The
American fishermen, as we learn, are going
out we'll armed, and resolved to sustain what
they consider rs their rights. They may be
wrong, but in the absence of Government pro-
lection, they will enforce their rights, accord>
inc to their own understanding Of them. The
New York Times states that many vessels have
already gone out armed. / hear that many are
to follow between this and August, in order to
take part in the fall fishing. The Times ofthe
Oath instant, states that they Will resist the
British armed vessels. Bat we have better and
more minute information here as to their plans.
Ifone of their vessels be seized, they intend to
surrender il, and then make reprisals, whenever
they can best do it, on the shore or on the sea.
A single vessel could not resist an armedcruis-
er, but a number of them could make common
cause in reprisals. This fearful resort to pri-
vate warfare is openly spoken Of as a matter
e.z4.LJo and v,,.ah thu t,nyxt
edge of the President. How this is to be
avoided is a question. w have no naval force
to send to the fishing grounds and restrain
while we protect, our fishermen. Not a sim
gle ship Of war could now be spared for the
service. At the same time, the administration
are aware that it is expected of them to take a
higher tone on this subject than their predeces-
sors, and that they are expected to maintain
the American pretensions, right or wrong
The President may, therefore, well say that
the subject is full of difficulty.

Harper's New Monthly Magazime.--This ac-

interest of its pages does not lessen. The pre-
sent number, among other valuable illustrated
and other articles, contains "Montieello," the
home of Jefferson, giving some interesting re-
miniscences of this great man, with fine illus
t~rations, in which is given a brief biography Of
the signers of the Declaration Of Indepen-
dence, with a miniature likeness Of each, in one
group. Every family ought to possess this
valuable literary work.

The Barbecue on Crosse TEie.-On Monday
morning last, the 4th, the Minerva and the Ma
ry Jane left their moorings in the bayou at an
early hour, with a crowd of passengers, for the
Barbecue on Crosse Tete. The weather was
very incl~ement-having rained all the morning
otherwise, we think, the boats would scarcely
have contained the number of persons wishing
to 60. The steamers arrived at the ground
amidst a tremendous shower from thick and
heavy clouds, foreboding a dreadful time of it
to those who had there assembled to enjoy
themselves. However, in a short time the storm
ceased, the sky became comparatively clear,
and the ceremonies commenced. The Decla-
ration of Independence being read, the orator
of the day, DR.. WARD, assembled the stand, and
for over an hour w think, delighted his hear.
ers with a soul.stirring address, interspersed
with beautiful poetic illusions, and exceedingly
eloquent and appropriate throughout; this
however, we assert more from the remarks OF
others than from anything we ourself heard
as the house was exceedingly crowded, causing
a large number to remain outside, who could
hear but little of what was being said within.
After the speaking, the dinner table was re-
paired to, which with the side tables, were load.
ed with delicious meats and other good things
the ladies occupying the first table entire
Animating toasts were offered by several gen
tfemen. When all had become satisfied and
retired, there was still enough left, Of bread
meats, wine, &C.. to satisfy twice as many per.
sons as were present. The greatest order and
decorum prevailed.
After dinner the bali commenced in the
sehooLhouse, and We presume was kept up
during the night; for the bell of the Mar,
Jane having been tolled about A o'clock, we
jumped on board, together with several others
and leaving the balance to make q night of il
as best they could, struck out for home at the
rate of ten miles an hour.

oIjrarchy which has taken upon itself the eA>
elusive power of distributing the "loaves ana

Rather a Mistake,--A yellow man was ar

By Ffre.-We are panied to learn that the resi-

er with all his furniture-with the exception OF
a small portion, greatly injured-and likewise
thirty-fve or forty barrels of pork. 1t is un-
known how the fire originated. The loss is
supposed t o be about $4,000, and in all pro.
liability no insurance. Col. STRwARTis absent
at present on a visit to the Worlds Fair at New
York. This is truly a heavy loss, when we
take in consideration that the Colonel lost his
crops, we believe for two successive years.

for Arceneaux, which gave him the majority,
when it was proclaimed that he was the choice
of the Convention for Sheriff. It was then
proposed that he be nominated by reclamation,
which was carried, with the exception of the
Crosse Tete and Grand River delegations,
which remained silent.
1t is matter of very little importance to ns
or to the Wings who is defeated or nominated
for Sheriff by the Convention. We have no
interest in the matter farther than in getting q
faithful and competent officer, and have no
idea Of eontending for the victory-we are too
far in the minority to think Of it. The only
satisfaction we can obtain, is the satisfaction
Of making public the wire. workings of cliques,
and Of expressing our feelings and sentiments
in a legitimate and uDdisguised manner: and,
therefore, to say that the above nomination for
Sheriff was q harmonious one-expressing full
ly the feelings and wishes Of the Democracy
Of the parish-would be saying what is abso-
lutely false, If we are allowed to judge from
Indications neither secret nor silent. It was
generally hoped, II not believed, that another
gentleman than the one who received Il, would
get the nomination for Sheriff. It was a claim
considered justly due to Crosse Tete, and to
tho exertions and sacrifices Of a gentleman,
who, second 10 no other Democrat In the parish,
has toiled and struggled manfully, TO his own
personal injury, for the success Of his party
and Ito principles. But the self-constituted
