THE CANADIAN FiSHEHJEo.
Debate In tho Dominion Parliament tho
Fishery QuestiOn-Fcnrs that England May
Sacrifice Colonial Rights.

OTTAWA, Feb. 2S, 1871.
Hon. Mr.. Mitchell, Minister OF Marine and the
Fisheries, spoke IN the Senate last night the fish,
cry question, reviewing the whole subject. In the
course OF his remarks he sad:-Headland right was
based on the law OF nations. He quoted In support
Of his argument tne opinion Of Daniel Webster. He
said the only question the Canadian government
proposed to be settled was the geographical limit OF
three miles from the coast whether from headland
to headland or to follow the indenons Of the coast
Senator L. DE st. Just thought before England
would run the chances Of war she would sacrifice
some OF our fishery rights.
Senator Mitchell opposed this idea, and felt as
sured that the representative from Canada on the
Commission would never agree to the resignation OF
our rights without obtaining the consenG OF Parlla-
ment and the people OF Canada.

LITE TAYLOR saw Lutte a viii

Lutte TAYLOR Il saw Lutte a while
this morning in his sanctum. Not
much of his, though, about it. Visit.
ors were constantly dropping in from
the city; lively delegates" were ar
irving hourly from the rural districts.
Hail fellows and rare boys, all Of
them. First came General Kellogg,
and then Frank Hatch. A momen,
after burst in the sanity and benign
countenance of II. nj. Bovee--him
who drove the gallows from our. state,
and who would drive all human cru
elites back to Pandemonium, whence
they came. Lutte served up Mrs.
| Woodruff! in a column and a half
leader this morning, and that smart
little lady came up naturally Cor dis
cussion. Lutte goes strong y for the
woman, but cannot go for doctrins. 49,
Bovee goes AS strong for both--free
love, woman suffrage, spirit control
and all. Kellogg and Hatch speared
in cross ways and back ways Hatch
has i, that Woodhull's claim of being
controlled by Demosthenes is fraud.
Demosthenes was the most eloquent
sufferer OF the ancient world, aud
has had control OF Lutte from his
birth. Mrs.. Woodruff, he says, isn't
a patching to Lutte in his Demos.
themes gift.
1t is a won.ler that Lutte Taylor
ever gets time to read a word or
scratch 4 line. Lazy people don't
write tue sentanccs. Lutte has writ.
ten better things than any one in the
State. His words are winged; his
sentances pictures. His place is Bos.
ton, beside of Hate, Holrner, Field,
bret, Harte, Lowell and the like. -
Cor Mitnauhee Sentinel
We enter our protest. The place
for Lutte Taylor is La Crosse, or Wis
con>in, rather; we don't propose to
quarrel about localities, but it must be
Wisconsin.
Lute's forte is what was Domos
thohes' misfortune. Think of Lutte

making windy speeshes to the Faith
