JoiSr FISHERY COMMISSION DErwExs THE

drawn between prominent points or headlands,

to prevent collisions or disputes between The
fishermen Of the respective countries ne TO their
several rights.
The rivers of Prince Edward Island have also
been examined but awards have not yet been
made as 10 number ofthem, in consequence ofdii-

British possessions the rivers OF Canada. Labrador

Too LATE IN THE DAY.-In reply to the late
powerful speech of Senator Hammond in behalf
Of the Union, the seccssionists Of South Carolina
have cxhumed an old dead letter of r. Barnwell
Rhett, written two years ago, pleading the ne
cessities Of a separate Southern confederacy.
and have published it, full length, in the
columns of the Charleston Mercury. But it
comes too late in the day. The conservative
slaveholding class Of the South have had enough
of this secession fury and folly of the fire-eaters
II has failed to pay expenses They have dis
covered that these restless secession salaman-
ders, having little or nothing to lose, but every
thing to gain, from secession, revolution and
chaos, are false lights, and are no longer to be
trusted. Senator Hammond, the owner of 3
thousand slaves, more or less truly represents
the interests and the opinions of what Mr.. Sew
ard is pleased to denominate the ''savc oil
garchy;" and in view of the wholesome lessons
which they have learned from the Kansas-Ne-
braska juggle Of Douglas and Pierce, they now
stand not less opposed to the secession mon
strosities Of X. Barnwell Rhett than to the new
abolition manifesto of William II. Seward. Mr.
Rhett has ouiiiyed his day and generation ia
South Caroiina. Let him retire.

terrupted The expense Of maintaining great
number Of armed vessels every season on the
shores Of the colonies in the fishing districts has
been saved to her Majesty's government, whilst
our own has been spared the cost and annoyance
Of sending squadrons of armed vessels to Nova
Scotia and the Gulf DIST. Lawrence, as was done
in 1862 and 1853.
Since the reciprocity treaty went into effect
there has not been single complaint on either
side growing out Of fishery matters. This is a
happy state of things and one which we hope
may long continue. So long as the Fishery Com
mission can maintain peace and good will
amongst the fishermen, and preserve good order
along our own shores and on the fishing grounds
we have the strongest interest in it's perpetuance
IL is far better that such comfortable and plea
SAINT condition Of things should exist than that
the United States and Great Britain should be
pointing their guns at each other from the port
holes Of their men-of-war, leading every one to
expect formidable collisions, to the great injury
Of commerce and the progress Of civilization ge-
morally.

THE CONGRESS- PRNrISG.--One Of our old fogy
Wall street contemporaries has a. last discovered
that the printing of Congress has become fruit
fol source of corruption and that the nuisance
ought TO be ahated. Cautious, however, In his
conclusions, az becometh an old fogy, our cotcm-
porary for the present has nothing better to
recommend than a vigiant watch over these
printing jobs as they may severaily come up.
This may be well enough; but why stop at the
branches of the tree when the axe should be
applied to the root. Why put OF the main ques-
ton to some other day when the present is the
season for action. Is our Wall street philosopher
looking for share Of these printing spoiis some
time hereafter, "a free wool " or is il in favor
OF the separation OF the government printing from
the hungry and corrupt lobby joahers of the
party press. Let US know.

A GREAT LAND SwiADIE.-we are beginning
to get at the truth in reference to some of those
awful land swindles in the days Of poor Pierce.
A railway president in Iowa-Jones, Of the Cen
trail Air Line-wrtes, in letter rendering his
resignation, that the cost to his company Of get
ting the land grant through Congress was seven
hundred thousand dollars. 1t seems that the
lobby first had rs brides portion of the land
granted by the government but afterwards ex-
changed it for stock of the company. Two or
three other companies were bled in the same
way. making altogether the sum q two millions
Of dollars spent to Influence" Congress TO de-
privc the people of the public domain and pass
II over to stockholders and gambling specula-
tors. If there are any honest men in Congress
they should hunt up the particulars Of these
swindles. Grants made under such crcum-
stances are infamous and unbushing plumber
