be conveSetin eitraordanary session the first
week In May to consider such treaty or treaties
as may have BEEN ss.eed upon. OF course
much ependsoa the acceptance by the Brit
ish h0nne gosernpent of certain points pro-
posed BY It's commissioners. The fishery
question is the principal difficulty, our gov
eminent standing on the position assumed
in 1858 and then conceded by Great Britain.
All the information relative to the fisheries
and the alleged amount Of losses by the
C~onfederate cruisers furnished from Brit
ish shipyards, together with voluminous
official documents in that connection
have been closely scrutinlzed In joint meet
ing. in order to a full understanding of all the
points involved. There seems to be truth In
the statement that the basis proposed contern-
plates: First-The privilege of American
fishermen to fish within the parts Of Canadian
waters from which they are now excluded,
and to land and dry their fish and cleanse
their nets, DC. For the privilege the United
| States Is to pay Canada q certain sum OF
money. Second-Certain general Information
| al principles are laid down, covering those OF
neutrality, BY which claims arising from the
depredations of the Alabama, Shenandoah,
&C.. are to be adjusted. Third-Conmission-
era 20 be hereafter appointed to adjust the
matters on the basis proposed. 1t Is furtnef
said that this basis has been sent to England
for approval.

plies taaaas this Privilege has beeas Withdrawn to
pseventAmuggling, and that it tsthe undouot-
81 right of evary nation (duottHg Mr.. Clayto
Nr. GaIlatin) TO prohibit or allow foreign
commerce with any portionof ts doplntaas.'
To his other complaint thst Great Britain, In
remittIng the control and Jurisdiction Of the
fnshore fshing-grounds to the Colonial authori-
ty, has remitted 1T to an Independent but IRE
sponsible agent the subcommittee replies
that he is mistaken; that from the decisions In
the Colonial v~lce-AdmiraltJ Courts, before
which all fishery cases must come, an appeal
lies to the judicial committee of the Privy
Council, an imperial tribunal, and it questions
whether any of the American fishing vessels
seized without notice or warning were so
seized, while ignorantly violating the seen-
nlcal rights Of Great Britain. The report is q
7ery cold and naked legal statement, and oon-
fines itself mainly to the communication OF
information on questions of law and fact,
and is chary in the expression of opinion.
ssThe American view, or rather, we should
saw, the view which the article In the L1u
Reuie,o propounds, and which 1t Is not i'm
probable the American Commissioners will
maintain, is in substance that the treaty OF
1888 was, in so far as regarded the fishery
rights, one of perpetual obligation; that the
war OF 1872 did not affect it; that the treaty
of 1878, in 80 far as it differed from that Of
1913, was not an abandonment Of any liberties
enjoyed under the treaty Of 1888, but a simple
| reconciliation or waive of a portion
Of these liberties. For this renuncla'
ton or waiver, and for this only, the
Reciprocity Treaty Of 1854 was a substitute
This last treaty having been abrogated in 1856
the parties are thrown back Tor the definition
OF their rights. not on the treaty of 1878
which has been blotted out, but the treaty Of
| 1873, and the fishing rights secured by that
! treaty are in the nature of a public servitude
Of a higher kind than an easement, or the
Roman seruitus, and closely approaching the
character of absolute d%omtnium. The points
involved are nice and will doubtless afford
materials for long discussion.

The Spartanburg Republican,, a paper

with few exceptions, that they have nerer

New York Tribune and all the other
Ku-Klu1 shriekers. will take notice OF this
emphatic declaration that the Ku-klux, if
such there be, have never, with very few e1-
ceptions disturbed any man because Of his

The Situation and the Remedy.

Colonel James d. Rion, in q letter to the
Columbia Renir, suggests a remedy Tor
our present grievances, although be has
little hope that those who now have the
power in their hands will ever willingly SUBJ
nit to its least abatement. The PROPOSE
tons of Colonel RioD, In brief, are:
l. To resist the double tax proposed to be
collected in November sin every way short
s'of actual rebellion" Colonel Rion thinks
that this whole difficulty may be removed
by the authorities requiring no tax to be
collected in November, 1871, a halifax in
March. 1872, and then a whole tax in No
vember, 1872
2. An amendment to the Constitution re-
curing four managers OF elections at each
election precinct, two of whom are to be
chosen by each political party in the eoun-
ties; to have the votes counted as soor as
the polls are closed, and the results aggre-
gated the second day after, by two from
each box, Zone from each political party,)
assembling at the county seats.
3. An amendment to the Constitution re-
curing the passage Of every bill imposing
taxes, assessing the value Of property for
taxation, borrowing money or raising reve-
nue. in any way, and OF every bill making
appropriations, creating any debt or liabili-
ty, or lending the faith and credit OF the
State in any way, it to receive the vote of
MreeJourths OF the members OF each house,
the same to be ascertained by a vote by
yeas and nays, made Of record on the jour-
nails OF each house.
4. An amendment to the Constitution re-
curing that, upon the adoption of the two
foregoing amendments, all acts and parts
Of acts relating to the assessment OF prop
erty for taxation, the imposition OF taxes,
and providing for elections by the people,
shall cease and be no longer Of force, upon
the first meeting of the General Assembly
thereafter held; and that all acts and parts
of acts. relating to the aforesaid subjects,
passed by any General Assembly, shall cease
to be Of force upon the adjournment of the
first session of the General Assembly next
electeds
Colonel Rion suggests these amendments
because neither a change Of the qualifications
OF voters or OF office holders, nor a change
in the present system OF representation,
would remedy the monstrous election frauds
.practiced upon US, the wholesale robbery OF
our property under the 'guise Of taxation,
and the squandering OF the money raised
by taxation for purposes other than the
wants of an honest government. The con-
stitutional changes asked for impair no
right or privilege now possessed by the
colored people, and, by them, the real in-
terests OF the negro would, in his opinion,
be promoted.

A Summary OF the Fisheries Question

Tie Nation, in a late issue, gives a terse
summary of the opposing views of the two
countries upon the Northeastern Fisheries
question, now before the joint High Commits
sion {:
"This English presentation of the case is in
substance this: That the rights secured to
American fishermen by the treaty of 1888 Ito
fish on the coast of Newfoundland, and all
coasts, bays, harbors and creeks of English
colonies, and to dry aud cure in unsettled
bays, &C., within certain limits) were abroga-
ted by the war of 1872, and that the rights of
American fishermen are now regulated by the
treaty of 1918, which was entered into by way.
of settling the controversy which arose over
the effect of the war on the former. 1t is the
latter, the operation of which, according to
the subcommittee, the abrogation Of the Reel
procity Treaty of 1854 restored. The treaty Of
1918 gives the Colonial Government exclusive
dominion within three miles OF the coast, SUBJ
ject TO the rights OF Americans to fish on de-
fined portions Of the coast, irrespective OF this
limit. To the Presidents complaint that the
American fishermen are denied the privilege

fish in Canadian ports, the subcommittee re-

Timely Counsel.

The Sumter Watchman counsels ''pru.
s'dence and moderation" in the May Conven.
v~ention, and says:
"We must bear in mind that actual organ
ganized resistance will insure the coming oil
the power of the United States to force obedi'
euce, even though o u r.sistive action be &C
compenied with a distinct disavowal of hostile
feeling or action toward the National Govern
meat. In our judgment, this Convention
should confer with the existing State authori-
ties as far as practicable, and put forth a calm,
deliberate, clear and forcible protest against,
and statement of, the terrible state OF affairs
existing In this State dnancially-taking care
10 avoid Incorporate speeches and all purely
political matters. A publication like this to
the world might have some moral power
abroad, and give us some additional strength
at home and we frankly say that we see but
little else the Convention can do prudently or
with hope Of good results"
