Tho Fishieries Qucstion--A Settlement to
be Made.


1t seems to be settled that England, in the
interest of good feeling, has directed her pro-
vincial authorities in Canada to grant licenses
at once to American fishermen in Canadian
waters and that Minister Schenck's depar-
ture for his post at St. James has been de-
layed until the prelminaries of the settlement
can be arranged between Sir John Rose, the
London banker, who has been in Washington
for some time on semi-diplomatic business,
and Minister Thornton, England's representa-
tive at our capital. The concessions on the
part OF Canada are to be unconditional. This
arrangement will be immensely satisfactory,
especially to General Butler and the Glou
cester fishermen, and will not rebound
to the discredit or loss of Canada herself. It
is also telling argument in favor Of a
straightforward, unhestating line OF policy in
our foreign affairs. The prompt declaration
which President Grant made in his recent
Message to Congress in favor of securing their
rights to our fishermen, and the steady agita-
tion which General Butler has kept up from
the first may not have enforced these prompt
concessions-it would be ungenerous now to
say so-but without doubt a weak and waver-
ing policy would have been likely to keep the
subject unsettled for long time, and to have
left a long train Of evils and bitternesses
behind, if it had ever succeeded in settle

ATTEMPTED REVIVAL OF THE KNOW NOTHING
FoLLY.-We are sorry to see a respectable
contemporary endeavoring to revive the stupid
prejudices of religious sects for political pur-
poses. Who cares what religious opinions
predominant among the men who hold office
In this city or State? That is their own affair,
and concerns the public service naught. Ten
years ago this same foolish game was played,
and with what political result we all know.
The thing died of its own rottenness. To set
men by the ears upon the subject Of differences
in religious belief is poor occupation Tor
public journal anyhow. Therefore we regret
TO see the folly and the viciousness OF the past
attempted to be revived in metropolitan
pswspaper.

DEFEAT OF TIE REBELS IN CUBA.-By
special telegram from the HERALD's CORE
spondent in Havana we learn that the rebels
have been attacked in their stronghold by the
Spanish troops and completely defeated, with
a loss of fifty killed, many wounded and
prisoners. Thus the work goes on, and it
appears TO be the intention of the Spanish
forces now to make short work of the re-
mainder Of those 10 arms against the govern
ment. Another insurgent Of note, Jesus del
Sol, of the Cinco Villas, has also come in and
surrendered.

Italy, Germany and tEc PODe.

What is to become of the Pope? Will Italy,
through any compensations she may have to
offer, be able to reconcile him to the loss of
his little temporal kingdom? Or will the Lon
don Conference before its final adjournment be
compelled to take up this important matter Of
a settlement of the future residence and spir-
itual kingdom and political independence of
the Holy Father? Our latest information
from the Vatican is to the effect that he will
listen to no compromise touching the patri-
mony Of st. Peter-that he does not consent
to the loss of those parts of it which have
heretofore been appropriated by Italy any
more than he consents to her present military
and political occupation of the Holy City.
But it is true, Notwithstanding, that even the
Pope, like st. Peter himself, must submit to
the temporal necessities of his situation.
From the correspondence which has been
passing meantime between Count Bismarck,
on the one hand and the North German Ambas-
sadors at Rene and at Florence on the other,
it is evident that the Emperor William, in the
interest of the numerous Catholics of Germany,
and especially of the South German States,
intends that the Pope ard his claims shall be
respectfully considered and magnanmously
adjusted, as far as possible without needless
offence to the Italian government 1t appears,
too. that considerable progress has been made
in the Italian Parliament upon what is called
''the Papal Guarantees bill,' which, we be-
lieve, provides not only for the independence
of the Pope as the head Of his Church, in
cluding free intercommunications between
the Church throughout the world and the
Vatican but also for a liberal yearly allow
ance from the Italian Treasury, in quarterly
instalments, to the Pope, in compensation fer
the loss of his temporalities and the revenues
which heretofore he derived from them as
their political sovereign.
But still it is apparent that there will be
no harmony between Italy and the Pope
while there is prospect to him Of something
better at least than the terms Of Italy, from
settlement Of his claims by the great
Powers in which the voice of his good Pro-
testant friend, the Emperor William, will be
more potential than that of the excommuni-
Gated Catholic, Victor Emmanuel. Strange,
too, as it may appear, all Europe is beginning
to share in the opinion that the Pope, though
abandoned by or beyond help from the Catho-
lie States, is still power on the Continent
in having for his friend the powerful Protes-
tant Emperor of Germany.

BROOKLYN AND THE CHURCH IN ROME -
The good people of the City of Churches, the
Catholics, a very goodly portion of the
population in point of numbers, have been
thoroughly reused in defence of the sovereign
rights and temporalities of the Pope, both in
Rome and the Papal States. They came out
in strong expression, uttered by the different
congregations en- masse, yesterday. King
Victor Emmanuel need never seek aldermaaic
honors on Long Island, should he be forced to
emigrate to America. That's enough.

Denmark was the cause of quite an exciting
scene in executive session OH Saturday Zach
Chandler engineered the nomination with
all the awkwardness and blundering that
seems inherent in Zach, and naturally
enough poor Cramer was used up so
heartily among the disagreeing Senators
that we have no doubt he wishes he was never
nominated or that he was anybody's brother
in-law but the Presidents. II has come to
such pass now that being relative OF the
President is looked upon as a sad disaster.

The Situation of Affairs In France.

The Situation of Affairs In France.
Judging from the dispatches which We pub.
lish in this mornings HERALD from France
stormy time may be anticipated, and that
before long, between the Bordeaux and Paris
governments. The message to Gambetta that
henceforth the government of Paris would ex-
ercise the executive power will tend; if we
mistake not, to in1ame the minds of the red
republican leaders who 60 hand in hand with
him in all he says or does. Since the conclu-
sion of the armistice there has been an evident
coolness between the French leaders in Paris
and those in Bordeaux Every day the breach
has become wider and more distinct. In
the opposition of Gambetta, in his
dictatorial DEGREES and his fiery addresses
is exhibited the weakness of that party Of
which he is the head. Ii the republican senti-
ment prevailed throughout France as gen.
orally as Gambetta and his clan would
have the world believe there would be no
necessity to attempt to prevent monarchical or
imperial candidates from entering the election
campaign. Lyons, southern city, which has
experienced meme of the seventies of the war,
believes in and uphods the late dictatorial
DEGREES issued by the Bordeaux wing OF the
government Lille, a city which has done far
more for the republic, decides against such
dictation as to the character of the candi-
dates for the National Assembly. In
contrast, also, to the mad rawlings of
the Bordeaux reds, the address of the
Due D'Aumale appears CONSPICUOUS. He be-
lieves that monarchy is the best form of gov
ernment for France. This opinion he ex-
presses openly and freely; but should the
French people decide in favor of republi-
can form Of ruling he will bow to that decision.
How widely different from Gambetta's views
are the sentiments expressed by the Duke
The radical leader would stuff republicanism
down the throats of the French people wheth er
they like it or not. 1t strikes us that
M. Gambetta might take lesson in
democracy from this aristocrat, and
yet this Duke is one of the men prescribed.
1t is plain to be seen that the question with
this would-be dictator is, if the French people
express themselves freely, what will become
of Gambetta2 Tat he loves France we do
not doubt, but that he loves power more we
firmly believe

The Churches Yesterdn y.

There was perhaps, less Of sectarianism in
the sermons delivered yesterday-reports of
which we publish this morning-than we can
recall to mind as distinguishing those of many
previous Sundays. AS general rule the
preachers confined themselves to the discussion
| of subjects more intimately connected with
salvation than the efficacy of baptism by
so far as we have read, escaped wordy casti-
cation. Charity was invoked and dscoursed
upon eloquenty in several churches, for vari-
ous good and pious causes, in addition to its
own intrinsic merit as soul-saying virtue. The
memorial offering" of five millions Of dollars,
which is intended as kind Of spiritual
cement to keep well fastened together the
two branches of the Presby terians, which have
recently become one again after division of
third of century, formed the subject of
DR.. Sanderson's sermon. He recalled to the
minds of his hearers the story of the widows
mite and the meanness of some of the rich
people on certain memorable occasion men
toned in the Scriptures, implying thereby, we
had ignored the subscription list
Brother Beecher also dwelt upon the beauty
of charity, calling upon his congregation to
outdo their fermer generosity ''and make
ample provision for the Gospel to the poor and
outcast." Considering the severe cold snap
and the price of coal and food, he might have
suggested fuel and bread and meat among the
provisions. Charity, too, for the House of the
Good Shepherd, was the theme Of DR.. Potter,
and in his sermon he took occasion to speak
highly of the morals and religion of a great city
in opposition to the assumption that all the
Hrtues Of country are to be found in the
rural districts
AT the other churches the sermons were
good. Dr. McVickar held up the example of
Christ to his hearers, appealing to them to
manifest in their lives some evidence of recog-
milton of His great love for them. At st.
Peters Roman Catholic church Father Allen
discoursed on the spread Of Catholicism in
America, while at ST. James Father McEvoy
urged upon the congregation the necessity of
working out ones own salvation. A collec-
tion was tahsH up az IuiS CHuTcn iOr tnaC
admirable institution, the Founding Hospital,
previous to which Father Farrelly briefly
referred to the immense good it was
doing in breaking up the Infamous practice
of the abortionists. Rev. Mr.. Foote, at
the Christian Church, gave the scriptural def
nition Of sin, while at the Church of the Mes
siah Mr.. Hepworth held forth the doctrine that
true religion did not require any particular
form or creed. In Washington Dr. Addison
discoursed on rejoicing in religion"
For very cold day all the churches were
well attended. Although the exhibit of wealth
and fashion was probably not so great as on
more agreeable days, the religious spectacle
was none the less gratifying to all true believers

THE LEGISLATURE reassembles to-day.
Members viii take their seats after the re-
fresbing benefits, we hope, of Sabbath passed
in religious devotions They will have had
time to reflect upon measures which have been
presented to them from committees. They
may have asked themselves, "Where is the
job in this or that proposed measure ?"-say
the investing of powers in the hands of one
man for the purchase of lands and water
privileges-the fountainheads from which the
people Of the city of New York derive their
supply Of water; or whether there is not
much good in the proposition to repeal the bill
for the widening Of Broadway or whether the
Tammany Regency have not made mistake
in proposing to place the Tax levy Of this city
in the hands Of gentlemen most OF whom are
in no way responsible TO the people. These
are few of the questions which, we trust, the
interim since the adjournment last Friday has
given members the leisure to reflect upon.
Let them act honestly and conscientiously.
This the people not only ask but demand.
MORE CABLEs.--Let us have all we can get.

memorializing the Senate to pass certain bill
which gives everybody the right to lay cables,
when the Senate ought to have passed the
bill which has already passed in the House
long ago without any memorials on the sub
ject. These gentlemen ask no favors, no
subsidies, no land grants. They merely wish
it to be settled that they are at liberty to land

send hundred words minute through the

to this, except the old dark-aged objections
that were made to the landing OF the French
cable, and which were mainly inspired by
competing monopoly. But we need more
cables, and there will always be plenty OF
work for all we can get

STICK TO THE FARM.-Are pale faces
white hands, decayed teeth and bad health
more genteel than robust frames, a good
appetite. sound sleep, and independent
circumstances? We think not, and for the
same reason we judge that farming is not
beneath any pursuit whatever, in all that
makes a man ~virtuous, useful and happy {;
and it is surely to be regretted that nearly
all our young men should prefer a mer-
camille life or a profession, to the tiiling
of the ground at their own quiet homes
Not only is it to be lamented on account
of the welfare of the young men them
selves, but also in the prosperity of the
country. for it is a truth that cannot be
contradicted. that the best interests of the
country are intimately connected with the
prosperous and enlightened condition of
its agriculture.

Literally in Farming.

In this art, and almost in this art alone,
cit isthe liberal hand which maketh rich"
Liberality in providing utensils is the
saving of both time and labor. The more
perfect his instruments, the more profta-
bic they are.
So, also, it is with his working cattle,
and his stock. The most perfect in their
kinds are ever the most profitable.
Liberality in good barns and warm shell
tiers, is the source of health, strength and
comfort to animals; causes them to thrive
on less food, aud secures from damage all
sorts of crops.
Liberality also in the provision of food
for domestic animals is the PURGE of flesh,
muscle and manure.
Liberality to the earth. in seed, culture
and compost, is the source of its bounty.
Thus it is in agriculture, as in every
part of creation, a wise and paternal Pro-
violence has inseparably connected our
duty and our happiness.
In raising animals, the conditions OF his
success are kindness and benevolence to-
ward them.
In cultlvating the earth, the condition
of mans success is his industry upon it.
