THg Policy PRESIDENT JOHNSON SHoClD
Now pUssrE.-The breach between Congress
and the President, which has created
much bitterness OF feeling while there is
little real difference between the con
ssrystiye majority aud himself makes IL
necessary that he should raise other ques-
tions Of public policy and take nov line
OF departure. Judging from the signs OF the
times, we conclude that the people OF The
manding the guarantee OF the constitutional
amendment from the South before admitting
members from that section 10 take their scst-.
The end will be the same. and, az We said
there is little or no real difference between
Mr.. johnson and the majority in Congress, sei-
ting aside few virulent Jscohins who call
for more blood, coniiscstioR and other horrible
measures. But there is iancied difference
aud much bad feeling. Now, our advice TO The
President is 10 let this matter alone in the fn-
sure lie has done his duty aud all in his
power 10 restore the South. Let him now lake
up our foreign policy, the Alabama claims,
Mexico and other questions, and elevate The

tmid policy, must he get aside. He has
served his day The dignity oi The country
demands another sort Of policy-s sort Of Bis
msrck-prussian policy AT the present time.
An immediate settlement Of the Alabama
claims or lien on Canada is the fret question.
Then The regulation Of the destiny Of Mexico.
The President should also take up the import
an, matter OF our national finances. Lot him
call tue ablcst men around him 10 advise him
on this question. A thorough remodeiling OF
his Cabinet, vigorous foreign policy and An
able financial policy will touch the popular
bear. and make bis Administration successful.
Every one believes him honest and patriotic,
Notwithstanding the vaving. OF the ultra radi-
calls, aud by taking fresh and vigorous course
upon new measures he maybe master Of the
situation.

and sudden effort to bring about resump-
ton. but by taking such action as will In
spire confidence in our ability to return to
1t within reasonable time and without q
revulsion. First Of all, let us substitute legal
tenders for national bank notss, without in-
creasing the amount of paper circulation. In
this way the government would save nearly
twenty millions year, which could be applied
to che liquidation Of the debt; for it could
buy up tho bonds now deposited by the banks
as security for their circulation with the legal
tenders issued in place of the national bank
notes. Those legal tenders would be at the
same time more rehable circulation. Then
let the government reserve the gold that in
constantly coming into tho Treasury from the
customs, and the business community will feel
fully assured as to the ability of tho govern
ment 70 pay specie when demanded. A large
reserve in the vaults of the Treasury WILL have
the same effect as such reserve in the Bank Of
England has in Great Britain. To inspire con-
fldence is the fundamental principle of all
banking or governmental operations. BY
adopting such system OF currency and
finance, and bya careful application of our
superabundant revenue to the payment of the
national debt, it can be liquidated in ten or
fifteen years This would save the country
from revulsion and distress, and at the same
time relieve it ofthe dangerous moneyed power
of the grasping bondholders.

The Fish Exhibition in France.

A correspondent of the Pal Mall Gazette writes
OF the exhibition OF fishes at Arcachon, France:
"FIance numbers 1893 exhibitors in products,
and 24l in instruments. OF foreign exhibitors,
the French colonies reckon %; Belgium, rs;
Holland, "a; Great Britain, %; Austria, 2; Han
over, /; Sweden and Norway, 10; turkey, l;
SOain, IL; Denmark, /; the Grand Duchy OF
Hesse, 2; Hesse. .Caesel, /; the United States, !;
China, l; one exhibitor frequently contributing
d great variety OF articles.
'"rhe scheme OF the arran cement has been to
class the objects under three heads, VIZ; FRO
ducts, instruments, and Writings. Products
and Instruments are divided into such classes as
those of fresh and those OF salt water; and
these again are divided according as the fish
are taken by ordinary fishery or are reared and
cultivated aruhcially. Behind the Exposition
is long range of aquaria, we'll supplied with
salt water, and stocked with considerable
variety of fish, shell-dsh, sea anemones, and
many beautiful and curious objects. Behind
these again is q range of tanks built OF BRICK
work and cement. These are of various depths,
and are for the Illustration OF the different
kinds OF salt water culture which are so largely
prosecuted in France, but at present only one
tank is occupied. 1t contains specimens o.
oysters OF various ages, from the Basin
d'Arcachon principally, and from Rochelle.
Unfortunately the weather at the present time
is 80 oppressiyely hot in the south of France
that the transmitting and keeping alive Of
specimens is not very easy matter; and It is to
be feared that this part OF the plan will hardly
be developed to the extent that was originally
intended. The oysters displayed are many OF
them on the tiles taken from the imperial Pare
OF Lahillon, which are quite marvel to behold.
being so thickly packed with oysters all over
that the tiles are not visible; two or three hun
dred oysters of from one to two years old are
fixed upon one tile of about sixteen or seventeen
inches long, and seven or eight wide. And these
are not mere specimen tiles, by any means
having been 6shed up from the beds when the
water was three feet over them"
