THE FISHERY Fusion Thursday evening"
Hous Joseph p. Comegys and William u;
Whiteley, Commissioners for Delaware, and
Abraham Browning, CORTLAND Parker ana
Albert NJ. Slape, Commissioners for New
Jersey, held a meeting at the Continental
Hotel, Philadelphia, to discuss the fishery
question, viz: Whether the Citizens Of NeI0
Jersey haze the Right to Fish az the Waters OF
the UelaaoGre Within the Circle Of YcetUe
Miles Around Ne,o Castle. The Delaware
Commissioners showed conclusively that Della
ware owns this twelve miles circle, which
certainly embraces the whole bed of the River
and perhaps runs well up on the land on the
Jersey side that the Dutch owned the territory
and they ceeded it to the Duke OF York, who, IN
1852, granted it TO William Penn by an instru-
ment OF writing known as a deed of feotment.
This deed is now among the records at Dover,
among some papers called the York Book OF
Records of the State of Delaware, which
from the lst to the 32nd page inclusive, Is taken
up with Dutch grants OF land within what Is
now the State and County Of New Castle. Ihe
Delaware Commissioners further proved thai
Penn title, though questioned sometimes in the
courts, was never overthrown or weakened. Or
the contrary, the decision of Lord Har1wlckt
admits it. They cite several legal cases where
the title was fully confirmed, notably the Pc.
| Patch " case, and also to the records OF boil
PENNSYLVANIA and Delaware. 1t is not pre-
sumed that a settlement will be effected by tn
Commissioners. But their conclusion will b.
reported back to their respective State Legisla
lures and the question of boundary will go II
the Supreme Court of the United States
where a decision will no doubt be finally rem
dered in favor of the State of Delaware. Thi
dispute arose about two years ago, when som
Jersey fishermen, whilst fishing on their sid
of the river, were set upon by some New Castl
fishermen and made to pull up stakes becaus
they were fishing on Delaware territory. Th
Jerseymen denied the soft impeachment,
| when this deed of Penn 8, showing that h
owned the territory included in a circle q
twelve miles around New Castle Was looked u
and is now proven.

BRAINS FOR HALF DOZEN ORDISARY MEN-Th
New York Tribune must be given the credit ol
saying many sharp things, and among them is this
That amid the gloom and encouragement and the
sadness of the political situation, two characters
have peered forth conspicuously before the world,
and in connection with sadly deranged govern
mental affairs-Gen. Butler with his cussedness,
and President Grant with his luck. This is one o
the ways the Tribune has Of putting things. To
be more Just, it should have added that back Of
Buffers cussedness there is a sufficient amount OF
brains to make half dozen men, and, properly
directed, to render him the most useful of on:
public men. Bot they not thus dTected-tha
more's he pity. OF Grant, too, it might have sal /
that something more than luek has attended his
career. Luck simply is not unVarying-it goes an |
comes with the wind. To favoring fortune h,
dds the strongest common sense lofty devotion u
his country, purity of motive, and the sIblimest
patriotism. Those who charge that he is sphinx,
a riddle Casar do not know the man, or II they do
their purpose simply is l. maign him. he has his
faults; attachment TO friends and stnbburnness of

A STORY ABOUT THE MILFORD Bard
The editor of the lancaster EcpresS gives some
interesting data referring to the lately celebra-
ted DR.. John Lohand, of this State, known to
literature as "the Milford Bard" lie says
Being one of the three entrusted with an ex-
animation of the voluminous papers of the
Milford Bard we learned to our surprise
that the principal income OF his long and busy
literary life had been derived frOm furnishing
brains to Learned men in various profes
sions for a consideration. If his executor had
been disposed to 20 into the black mailing
business. he coulG bave coined money out Of
the drafts of these literary productions and
correspondence relating to them. One OF the
best speeches on the tariff ever delivered in
Congress, or one at least which received the
greatest applause in the newspapers of the
party in sympathy with the speaker, was writ
ten by the Bard, for which he received a sum
sufficient to pay his debts and keep up ca
rousal for a month. The data found in this
connection revealed the fact that twas on that
occasion that we and one Of the gentlemen as
sociated with US in this examination, had, in
response to a telegram from Wilmington,
searched for the poor Bard Whose love for
drink was his greatest faulty and restored hiul
! to his friends He had written COngreSsonal
speeches, addresses for professors and heads o!
| literary institutions and theses for medical
students, and Oratious' for college gradua
tes innumerable. In a word, his posthumou,
correspondence was the most remarkable anC
interesting revelation in literary or professional
matters we ever met with. by direction o.
his executor, everything relating to this par
of the work of his life was destroyed and tina
only retained which might be Legitimate ait
10 writing his life and editing his works. Thi
however, was not completed by the gentleman
40 whOm II was then entrusted.

THE FOURTH OF July is not, very evidently,
what it was before the war. The nation then
was on trial, and it seemed necessary to annu-
ally rekindle the fires of patriotic sentiment and
trace through the "od fathers, who formula
ted public sentiment in founding the Republic,
the Scylla and Charibdis of our dangers and
safety. Happily, the war settled that. Our
unity and perpetuity is not now brought into
question, and spread-eagle oratory is no longer
necessary
Law and public safety have or will run the fire
crackers and the bon fires out of existence, and
the handful Of men who used to play soldier,
with the old boomerang muSkets. that spent
more force at the breach than at the nozzle,
have no longer place in the procession They
did we'll enough for their day and generation,
and up to 1860 they were about our highest
conception of soldiery. The fife and drum, once
the provincial music, have surrendered to the
martial strains of the more euphonious brass
band while the soldier boys of departed days
would be entirely too insignificant now that the
war has carried our ideas of martial parade
so far in the advance.
But the general character of the celebration
has changed The picnic, the excursion, the
regatta, &C., are superseding the procession
the banner and the "oration." In fact the
latter has become something more to be laugh
ed at than listened to. There is something il
this particular kind of speech making that il
regarded as peculiarly frothy and buncombe
laden, and so thoroughly does this idea prevail
that only the professional orators escape it
blight Speech-making is-not so necessary
part OF American celebrations whether Fourtl
of July or rotherwise-as formerly. Something
that can be taken in by the eye rather thai
the ear is the most sought after.

A Big STIR AT LEwEs. .-Secen Men Arrested
for Smuo0Lin0-W learn from the Whining
ton paper that on Sunday evening last United
States Marshal John Nj. Dunn, accompanied
by his Deputies, with representatives OF the
press, left Wilmington for Lewes on the steamer
Hamilton, of the Revenue Marine Service,
to break up a band OF smuggers, who were
known to exist at the BreakwateE, by the arrest
of their confederates and the melting out to
them of that punishment which their offence
merits They arrived at Lewes at clock on
Monday morning and arrested VIM. Eegood,
Sr., William Crosby, Alton Crosby, Joshua II.
Ellegood, Samuel Marshall, VIM. Ellegood, Jr.,
and Andrew H. Baker. Baker is charged not
only with smuggling but also with dealing In
smuggled goods, and quantity OF wares OF IN 1nls
kind were seized upon his premises. The
Hamilton arrived at Wilmington at noon yes
terday bringing the seven persons and several
witnesses. The prisoners we're at once marched
to the city hall and locked up. Baker con-
fesses his guilt.
The specific charge against the prisoners is
that they either actually participated or aided
and abetted in smuggling several barrels OF
sugar from the bark MdSOHic, bound from the
West Indies to New York, on or about June
I'd and Sd, and which was subsequently o1ereo
for sale. :,

The officers are lax and many seem to care
only for the pay they receive: The night in

This smuggling of goods at the Breakwate
has been in progress for many years, and 1t |
supposed has resulted to the government annu
ally, in the loss of several thousands Of dollars
The work is conducted under cover OF darkness
and the goods are first secreted somewhere Il
the vicinity for day or two and then conveye
across the bay to a convenient point in NeI
Jersey, whence they are shipped to Phiadel
