fhe canadians are endeavoring TO excite en-
thusiaSm In reference TO their recently reor-
ganlzed empire, by the public observance OF
New Dominion Day." THIS festival has been
liked for the first Of July, but, as the day ap-
proaches- the Canadian papers complain that
he proposal Inspires no enthusiasm There
nave been no appropriations for fireworks,
and no preparations for military and civil pro-
ceSsioLs, with speeches, as Is the case three
days later. on the Fourth of July, In the United
States. As the Provinces of Canada, Nova
Scotia and New Brunswick, on July LIST, 1857,
We're formed into one dominion under the
name OF Canada" by means of a Royal proc
iamation issued under an act OF Parliament,
the reJoicings of the people naturally would
not be as hearty as those of a nation that had
struggled into existence through a war OF eight

FISH CULTUEK-The Albany Legislature
lately appointed Messrs. Seth Green and Robert
b. Roosevelt commissioners to provide for in
cTeasinS the supply of fish in the waters of that

only they have lately visited several Southern
States, 10 endcavor TO interest the fishermen of
ne southern rivers in pisciculture, and to
induce them to adopt the system of artificial
DfeedIn that has proved so successful III Con.
necuout. They spent some time in Wash
ingfon' and their experiments here in Matching
shad were witnessed with great interest by our
fishermen. Their object in thus extending
ther observations and labors is TO make fish
culture general. 1t has been discovered that
.had do not invariably return to the rivers in
which they are spawned and in order that an
even supply may be obtained 1t is necessary
mat the propagation should proceed stimuli.
taneOusly on all parts of the coast Tue James
ti'er was the furthest point south visited by
me commissioners. There they succeeded in
interesting the fishermen ana ESTABLISHING
Matching boxes on a small scale. On the Poto.
mac NJ Il expected that their suggestions will
Dc generally adopted. The Susquehanna and
delaware are TO be visited, if they have not
reen already, and after introducing the system
extensively IN these rivers and the rivers of
New ors, the commissioners will proceed east
N July or August. BY this means it is ex.
pecIed that the next years supply of shad will
oe largely increased, while that Of the follow.
ing season will be still greater.

Is WOMAN MAN We have heretofore
referred 10 the demand which has been male
in Manchester, England, that all women VIII,
are independent householders, and who are
rated ard pay their rates (that is, who have the
qualifications of voters), shall be placed up IN
the lists of voters, and this demand has been
brought into court tor decision. The reason Of
the claim is that the new law has changed the
phraseology OF the grant of the franchise from
'every male person" of the req uired Qaalia ca
tons to ''any msr," and Il is asserted that In
law the word man means hsmaAs being Of

"Now is the time for ministers of the Gospel to
give up political speaking says the Journal Of
Commerce.
On first seeing this sentence, we supposed that,
by accident, we had picked up an old copy Of that
venerable sheet-say Of ten years ago. But no. 1t
is actual, fresh, to-days imprint--just from the
press and wet in our hands.
Is the old cutlery against politics in the pulpit
to be revived? Are ministers to be once more rd-
commended by politicians to have no meddlesome
opinions on public questionsG Do the Democratic
leaders, having made gain in Ohio, think that, if
thew can only paddock the Christian pulpits Of the
North, there will be a hope of carrying the next
presidential election Idle expectation
Those Northern clergymen who have once tasted
the sweetness of free speech in their own pulplts
will never again throw that luxury away. II any
body has high interest in the state, 1t Is clergy
man. In fact in some respects, the clergyman IS
the chief of citizens Shall he have no voice IN
public affairs Shall he express no opinion on ma
tional issues When the civil and political rights
of American citizens are at stake, shall ne alone De
awsd to silence while every other mans voice shall
be heard? A pulpit that is afraid to lay its tests
upon state questions and to judge them by the high
est standards of morality and religion, IS not pull
pit worthy Of this land or age.
1t is so long since we have heard the former
clamor against any linking of politics and religion
that to listen TO the ancient cry once more from the
familiar throat of The Journal Of Commerce, seems
something less than reality, and is more like re-
Numbering, amid the sweet song-birds Of summer,
the melancholy note of last winters Wild goose

4 few orders are being received for reasonable
goods, wanted for immediate use but as q general
thing the trade, beth East and West have al the
stocks they require for their winter business, and
the Southern markets, with cotton ceiling st less
than cost Of production are goo poor 20 absorb any
amount Of manufactured produces.
Manufacturers are quietly and cautiously making
preparations for the spring trade which is expected
90 put in an appearances during tbs month Of jan
uary. They are making up 3 few samples, and in
viting orders from the trade But the spring basi-
ness will probably open with very limited stocks
the market, and buyers win have & chance 20 figure
the cost Of production, e they Go not find prices
as low A. they expected.
The leather market remains quiet and unchanged
Trade is backward for the season, and sales mostly
confined 20 small lots ~ low prices wanted for pres
ent use. Such manufacturers are operating very
cautiously IN view Of the uncertainties Of thespring

The reduction Of taxation under The legislation
Of last winter amounted three million of dollars
but this in consequence, chiefly, Of the cessa-
tion Of the extraordinary expenditures belonging to
a state Of war After a recapitulation Of the re-
cepts and disbursements it is estimated that st the
end Of the fiscal year 1868, there will be 1916 1885,
IS remaining It is suggested that the tax laws be
revised and that the inconsistencies and incongru
titles in them be removed
Other topics are touched upon, such as common
schools benevolent institutions, military claims
public works, ETC. and the message concludes with
the following allusiou 70 the Constitutional Amend

The amendment submitted at the October cleo
ton was defeated by majority Of so ,629 votes.
In accordance with the provisions Of the statue l
issued q proclamation the 30th Of October an
