OTTAWA, G. w., Feb. 20, 1885,
Tho Canadian Gazette contains proclamation warning
American fishermen that they cannot the Canadian
shore fisheries after the 18th OF March next The fol-
lowing is the substance Of the proclamation
Whereas certain treaty was made between her Ma
jesty and the United States OF America on the 5th Of
June, 1854 providing for reciprocal trade and the United
States have given notice for the termination there
Of; and whereas the said treaty will expire on

Therefore, to prevent injury loss to our subjects or

caution and all persons not subjects Of our realm
that after the said 18th Of March next vessels owned
and manned In the United States Of America can pursue
the In shore fisheries without rendering themselves liable
to the conscaton Of their vessels and such other penal
ties imposed by law.

The rr1nors about a change IN the Govern
uent Of the state Of Virginia. it appears, sofarat
least as the effort IS concerned, were not without
foundation, as Will have been perceived By the
acts and doings Of certain parties in this place.
This effort is not confined 70 Alexandria, but
in other cities Of the State, and especially at
the %eeaap,italI, among a similar class Of the popu-#
lation, is it being pressed With eagerness.-
Fully conscious Of the fact that power is grad
ually, but surely, gliding from their srasp-con-
~stituting a minority so small that its weight is
hardlyGfelt anywhere in the State, yet deter
mined, if possible, to rule, OF carry, N their
downfall, the whole structure OF civil govern
1nent with them, this mere handful ofspecula-
tors have resolved upon subVertlng).c lYl rule,
thereby hoping, in the confusion and anarchy,
10 maintain positions, which they are we'll
aware, in an undisturbed state Of the commu-
nifty, they could never hold. lncited BY selfish
motives alone, perfectly dead to a sense OF CON
%sistency, they are DOW endeavorlng to accom-
plish that which, little more than a year since
thew denounced as reasonable and deserving Of
coa1igu punishment. The sam spirit that
pervades the Ultra Radicals iii the Council OF
the Nation-tlat spirit that knows no sense OF
right. or justice, and is actuated solely by a de-
sire to humiliate and Cypress, possesses those
in our State, who would rule or ruin. That
their schemes may perish and their designs be
frustrated is the hope Of every true friend OF
the State, and Of the liberties Of the people ;
and but for the fact that We see daily acts, as
outrageous as this would be, perpetrated by a
radical majority Of the 3. S. Congress, we
could rot for a moment entertain the idea that
the plan would receive a moments considera-
ton. rs it is, we hope for the ~best-hope
thai reason may resume her sway. and that all
such endeavor5 on the part Of designing men,
Ray conc. to naught. Let it be remembered
that this attempt to force upon us q rule,
which would be 50 r%epugnant to the feelings OF
our people, is originated, net by |irginiars,
but bv men whose lot has been cast amongst
us by the chances of war, whose real interest III
the old Commonwealth does not extend beyond
their own desires and advancement, and in
whose humiliation they would much rejoice
True, there are a few Viirginians By birth, who
have been led into the attempt by the willy in
fuence ofthose whose object is self a~ggrandize-
ment, or destruction-where they have least to
lose. But in all communities there are such
to be ffound-and we hope that though few as
they are, they may yet, before it is too late,
see the error of their way, and by no act Of
theirs, infict such a stab at such a time upon
our common mother. r.

IN the House Of Representatives, yesterday,

In the House Of Representatives, yesterday,
Mr.. Stevens, from the Committee on Recon.
-struction, reported back the Constitutional re.
construction amendment providing for a new
basis of representation, with a single amend
ment striking out the words and directtaxes'
from the first line, which previously read "Rep-
resentatives and direct taxes shall be apportlon-
3D." &c. The amendment is offered to cover
the objection against taxation without repre-
sentation. Mr.. Stevens called the previous
question upon the amendment, and proceeded
to address the House in bis usual style, taking
the occasion to berate the President for his late
ly expressed views on the reconstruction cues
ton. Upon the conclusion Of Mr., Stevens
speech, the question was taken, and the c%onsti-
%tutional amendment, as reported by the Recon
~struction Committee, was carried-yeas l20,
nays 46; and receiving the requisite two-tFirds,
was declared passed.

CONGRESS-.
u common mother.

In the Senate, yesterday, the resolution cx-
tending, the thanks ofCongress to Admiral Far
ragut and his officers and men, was adopted,
A petition was presented, said to be from over
one hundred beautiful, ACCOMPLISHED and in
~telligenr ladies of Lawrence, Kansas, asking
for an amendment to the Constitution prohib-
ting any State from Withholding the elective
franchise on account Of sex. The bill to pro
tect, all persons in their civil and political rights,
having again been taken up, was discussed up
to the hour of adjournment.
The House adopted a resolution to prohibit
the use Of the hall hereafter for any other than
legitimate legislative, funeral and Divine pur
poses: A bill was reported to prevent registers
from being given to such American vessels lex
cept by act of Congress- as sailed under foreign
flags during the rebellion. The joint commit
tee on reconstruc tion reported a substitute for
the resolution to amend the constitution so as
to make a new basis of representation. The
substitute IS precisely similar TO the original
resolution, with the exception that the words
''direct. taxes" are stricken out. Mr. Stevens
SUPPORTED The substitute in a speech Of some
ierrg9 b; and took occasion to refer to and cOt-
trovert the views Of President johnson, as set
forth ii his interview with a distln guisiledf Sen
stor a few days ago. When Mr.. Stevens con
Guided, the vote was taken and the substitute
adopted by the requisite tWo-thirds yote-yeas

PETROLEUM. series Of official experiments
have been for some tine in progress at WOOL
vich, England, and the results have been Of
the most gratifying character. The object Of
these experiments was to test the capacity OF
petroleum as a substitute for coal in the pro,
duction Of steam. One grand conclusion arri-
we'd at is that by the use of the oil an engine Of
l0O-horse power becomes exalted into one Of
40 or $50, the gain being from 20 to 50 pey
cent. Ithas also been satisfactorily determined
that the oil may be carried to sea in tanks, and
be incapable Of ignition, even though d red
hot cannon ball went through the mass. The
furnace required for the use Of Gil would be very
small. so that a large amount Of >toraga-roOm
would be saved. The report states that 'thc
first great naval power that adopts petroleum
will have an immediate advantage over the
fleets of all other nations: and the latter will be
compelled to accept the invention, however de-
termined at first to deny its value"

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Commercial Advertiser, speaking Of the
Council Of GeDerals there, says:
The immediate object of their meeting is to
organize a plan for the regular army, but their
d Iii berations will exercise an important infu-
ence upon the question of reconstruction.
The President has deferred issuing the for
NAL proclamation declaring the restoration Of
the Union, until the opinions Of Generals
Grant, Sherman, Meade, Thomas, Sheridan,
Sickles. and others could be obtained relative
to the submission Of the Southern States to
the constitutional authorities.
Its anticipated that the opinions Of the
Union generals in the South will conflict with
the political theory that the war is not yet
ended.
