NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 19.-Sailed. steamer
Raleigh for New York ..-.t
Brevet Colonel Mason Seventeenth Infantry,
has Investigated the Brenham Riots. He doubts
whe' her the United States soldiers broke MP
the negro ball, and thinks the two soldiers
were afterwards wounded without proyoca-
ton, and declares that the subsequent burning
of stores in the town was done by men in an
dress uniform Of the United States, but cannot
say positively.
Mr.. Nerall, The Mayors Secretary, publishes
a letter defending Mayor Monroe's course in
the late riot, and states that Monroe did par
ticulasly inform General Baird that he con.
sidered him responsible for the riot.

Marquis says, "Many of my colleagues will say
yes here in the Senate, and when they are
outside will declare the contrary" The col
leagues Of Mr.. Thad Stevens indulge in similar
contradictions after every one of Lds speeches
and after the vote upon every one OF his mea-
sures. In France, however, the Marquis de
Beissy does not have subservient majority to
keep at his heels whether he be right or wrong.

disconnected for while and put them In ust
the humor for causing trouble with Canada.
The South used to oppose the payment of such
bounties; but now the great West also declares
against 1t, and it must be stopped. There is
really no reason why We should pay man
bounty for catching fish any more than for
raising pumpkin or building house. The
talk about the fisheries being nurseries for sea-
men is absurd. During the recent war these
Gloucester and Marblehead people enlisted,
not as seamen, but as soldiers. Besides this,
they make the very worst sort of sailors for our
men-ofwar. But even if all that is said Of this
seamen's nursery were true, there is just as
much sense in paying bounties to maintain it
as there would be in paying bounties to our
farmers and our manufacturers because they
manage nurseries forsoldiers. Tbs thing simply
amounts 10 this: the rest of the country is taxed
for the benefit Of few New Englanders. There
fore it should be at once abolished; but the
government should see 10 it that ne1 outbreaks
occur in consequence Of this action, and that
the Canadian fisheries are not invaded by tho

THE FISHING BouSTrEs AND Our CANADIAN RE
rArroNs.-During the recent conference between
the Canadian delegates and our Committee Of
Ways and Means upon the Reciprocity treaty
MIR. Gait, one of the Canadians, stated that bis
government had official information that seven
hundred fishing vessels are being fitted out at
Gloucester to go to the fishing grounds Of Ca
NADIA in the spring. As the Reciprocity treaty
has boon abrogated, the American fishermen
have no longer any right to 90 to Canadian
waters; but as they are stout, sturdy fellows,
trained In our recent war and full Of pluck and
6ght they are not very likely to care much
about The law, and will attempt to fish on their
old grounds as usual. This may lead to seri-
GUS complications with Canada, and perhaps
to war with England. Quite as small causes
have often produced such results. II therefore
behooves our administration TO look into this
matter, and take such precautions as will pre-
vent any collision.
Another reason why our administration
should keep wstchfol eye upon these New
England fishermen is that the probable repeal
