Ten Thousand Organs q Year.

The Mason and Hamlin Organ Company
have recently purchased two acres Of land In
Cambridgoport, and erected another factory

and SO obviate the expense of carriage.
The Mason and Hamlin Company have
hitherto produced more Cabinet Organs than

any other manufacturer in this country But

FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2EAThe Senate
Judiciary COMMITTEES will meet on Sat-
urday preceding the assembling of Con
gress, to hear the arguments on the
Georgia senatorship. There are four
applicants for the honor. Hill and Mil
Ter, elected in 1868, they; claim
that the legislature which elected them
waslegally constituted, the negroes not
being expelled until after their election.
But the claim made against Hill and
Miller was that thelegislature by which
they were elected was from the first IL
legally constituted, the ironclad oath
never having been administered, and
there being q number unable to take it.
Hill, however, claims that in his case
the votes cast for him were all legal, or
SO nearly SO, as to leave him still the
majority requisite for an election, he
receiving the Democratic vote. This
was not the case; besides Miller's disa-
bilities had never been removed, for
White1ey and Farrow, Republicans
elect, were chosen in 1863. The claim
is made that they were elected
by the only legally constituted
legislature under the act of 1860, pass
ed by Congress in consequence of the
democratic usurpation. The British
Minister has, under instructions from
home, already taken the initiatory steps
towards considering the fishery contro-
yersy and arranging for settlement OF
the claims which, will arise from the
seizure of our vessels. Sir Edward
Thornton has acknowledged the sub
stantial correctness of Mr.. Fish's posi-
ton, as shown by the diplomatic CORE
spondence just published, running from
April to November of the present year,
relating to the fishery question.
The Canadian authorizes claim that
their refusal to issue licenses to for
eign fishermen does not interfere with
| American privileges under the treaty OF
1913, and that there are now no waters
embraced in the treaty under the con-
! troll of the New Dominion. Fish takes
the opposite ground, and in illustration
points to that portion of the coast for.
merly known as Labrador, from An
Sable to Magdalen Island. He also
points to the discrepancies IN the posi-
tion taken by the home provincial au-
thorities, one being that the Canadian
/ line is three miles from the shore, while
4 others assume it is three miles from an
imaginary line drawn across the mouth
of all the rivers and bays.
Thornton concurred in the general
correctness of Fish's position, and thai
it viii make an adjustment of all points
comparatively easy. 1t is well under.
stood by the British Minister that the
regulations made by Canada are illib
1 eral and illadxised, and the manner o
their execution shows an unfrendiy
spirit.

The Financial Condition Of France at
the BeaInninR Of the Present Contest.

the Beglnning Of the Present Contest.
From the January No. Of Iipp1ncottB Magazine.
: The present condition of the French
finances under the Empire has been
less accurately known than that of al
most any other of the states of Europe,
it having been seemingly the object OF
all the recent French ministers of fn-
ance to make up their annual budgets
in such q way as 20 firex1Elt alike their
own people and the world outside from
clearly knowing the extent and increase
of the national liabilities. The dis
trust which such course of procedure
has naturally left upon the European
public mind was well illustrated dur
ing the past summer by the circam-
stance that when the English and Con-
tinental journals began discussing what
course the Bank of France, in view OF
present and prospective French re-
verses, would adopt for the protection
of the two hundred million dollars of
bullion reported as in it's vaults. the
writer found that there was general
feelingof disbelief among London and
German bankers that any such vast
sum had ever been actually IN the
banks possession. 4sss~4s
But make such allowance as is neces-
sary for our lack of accurate informs
blOn respecting In6 Erencn unAnC01, una
allow further, as we must, that France
has greatly increased her wealth, her
commerce and her proddctiveness nn-
der the second Empire, it is yet certain
that, in view of her annual large treas
ury deficit, theev day of financial, if
not of civil disaster, to the nation
could not have been indefinitely post

Bright found himself side by side with

tary reviews given by the Emperor IN
honor of the opening of the great Ex-
position; and when the former, after
commenting on the evidence of exces-
sive expenditure for military purposes
thus presented before them, and also
upon the regularity of the national de-
ficit, finally asked the latter what would
be the ultimate result of it all, the
great minister of finance shrugged his
shoulders with the significance which
only Frenchman is capable of giving
to this gesture, and pithily repheds
