WASHINGTON, Feb 5, 1871.
The Fisheries Quesfion-PIcbabie Amicuble
Settlement at Once.
1t is understood that General Schenck, who was to
have sailed from New York last Wednesday has
been summoned here at the urgent request Of Minis
ter Thornton and Sir John Rose, who have assured
Mr. Fish that they authorized by the
British government TO say that In the
interest OF good feeling, the Dominion
authorities have been instructed peremptoriy at
once to restore the license system to our fishermen,
so as TO give them practically the rights and priv
leges pertaining TO the nshore fisheries OF the coasts
OF British North America. This concession Is to be
made without conditions, and evidently In the ex-
pectation that IL may lead to such amicable rela-
tons as will more readily pave the way for q salts
factory reopening OF the Alabama question upon
General Schenck's advent in England. In order TO
get the forced acquiescence OF Canada a delay
OF some three weeks in General Schenck's
departure has been asked by the English agents
here. As the Canadian official organ at Ottawa
1ercey denies the right of England TO interfere
the fisheries in opposition TO the wishes of the Cana
dans themselves, and declares that the freedom OF
the fisheries will never be assented to unless by
equivalent in the shape of reciprocity treaty, some
doubts expressed IN oicia circles here to the
ability OF Mr.. Thornton and Sir John Rose to keep
their promise. Meantime the Committee Of Foreign
Relations OF both houses taxing action III the
0sBery question pending the promised settlement.
The Right Way 10 Eorm a Cabinet
large number OF republican Senators and mem.
bers in favor Of the HERALD's plan OF submitting
any new Cabinet that the President may form to a
joint caucus Of the republicans OF the two houses
They say that II President Grant had done this in
the first instance he would have avoided
many mistakes which he has made. The
responsibility would then be with Congress- and In
case the members OF that body became dissatisfied
with the Cabinet the President could tell them thai
1t was their own making Ii this plan were adopted
1t is believed the President woulu the best
and most influential men OF the party for members
OF his Cabinet
Another Chorpenniug Frnud.
During the morning hour OF Saturday the House
passed a claim OF one Theodore Adams, of Phila-
delphia for slI2,ooo for the alleged construction OF
gunboats during Fremonl's campaign in Missouri,
which, it is said, is akin to the Chorpenning
swindle. MIR. Benjamin. of Missouri, denounced the
claim as one for which there Is no foundation. He
stated that he knew all about the transaction, and
the bill should net be passed by the House. 1t Is
understood that an effort will be made to stop II in
the Senate.
Harmonizin0 New York Republicans-Norzan,
C0nking and Stckies.
The disorganized condition OF the republican party
In New York is source OF much concern to the
lT1ends OF the ADMINISTRATOR III Is understood that
the presence here OF Ex-Governor Morgan has some
reference to an effort to harmonic the discordant
elements. 1t is conceded that, unless the dissen.
siOns which now exist are healed New York is hope
less for the party 1872. While Governor Morgans
name has been suggested in connection with the
reorganization of the Cabinet, ii Is believed to be
more probable that there is prospect OF his being
put forward as the successor OF Conklng in the
Senate. Among the efforts that are being made to
reunie the republican factions In New York II has
transpired that the friends OF General Sckles and Of
the administration desire his recall from Madrid
believing that he could render signal service in re-
storing harmony among the ranks OF the repub
cans In New York prior to the exciting that
are expected In the next Presidential contest
Crnmer's Nomination-Stormy Scene in Ex-
ecutive Session.
No nomination has been before the Senate for
some time that has created 30 much excitement or
aroused more bitter debate Than that OF MIR.
Cramer the Presidents brother nlaw, TO be Minis
Ter TO Denmark There nothing in the nomna-
tion Itself particularly interesting. II was the
manner In which the friends of Mr.. Cramer sought
10 have HIM confirmed that made all the row. Last
Wednesday, when Mr.. Chandler moved TO have
the Committee on Foreign Relations discharged
from the further consideration OF the nomination OF
Cramerr very few Senators thought he was serious
In his intention. Sometimes committee OF the
Senate is discharged from the consideration OF bill
and the measure taken out Of It's hands by the Sen
ate; but thus very seldom happens with regard 10 a
nomination. Such thing has not occurred 10 the
Committee OF Foreign Relations within ten year,
certainly not since Mr.. sumner has been
chairman of it, Chandler, however was
in earnest. lie did not enter alone upon the cam
paign against sumner He had consulted other
Senators hostile TO Sumner and friendly 10 the
President, and he worked persstenty that he
soon had majority IN favor OF Cramer's confirna-
tion. The debate lasted through three long execu-
tive sessions tile grand J1tale being on Saturday.
The main charge against Cramer was unfrness for
the position 10 which he was nominated. There
were other charges as TO his conduct While Consul
nj Leipsc, but the most serious OF them were
disproved and only the fact remained that some
arate citizen OF Lepsic slapped The Consu;s lace In
the public streets. Mr. Su inner made the bi oad
general charge OF unnlness against Dir. Cramer
He stated that when the name before the
committee no one seemed to know auything about
him. The only thing that could be ascertaned con-
cerning him was that he was the Presidents
brother-in-law Chandler replied ttat SumDer had
not taken the trouble 10 make cny inquiries about
Cramer. As soon as 1t was discovered that he was
the brother in law OF the President the chairman OF
the Foreign Relations Committee thought he had
rome far enough Sumner dlsclaimed any personal
feeling In the matter He said ne would act In the
same manner toward the brother-in-law OF the
President as he would toward ,he broiher-In-
Raw Of any other person. Cramer' IL ap
pears. was formerly Methodist preacher and
was well known IN the West among the
brethren as an exhorter He was In the haoit, IL IL
stated, OF being introduced at class meetings AZ
General Grants brother-in-law, and IN TINS rea'

nomination was before the committee senator
