THE FISHERIES AWARD.

The Fishery Commission, sitting at
Halifax, Nova Scotia, has decided adj
versely to the United States, and voted
an award to Great Britain of $780,
600. Reference has occasionally been
made to the matter, but the generality
of Americans are totally ignorant of any
disagreement with England on this or
any other point. The Canada or New
fOundland fisheries always have been
the subject of treaties, and treaties are
famous for giving satisfaction to neither
side. In this case, it appears that by
the Treaty Of Washington in 1871, the
fisheries of both countries were thrown
open reciprocally, but as Great Britain
claimed that the privileges she accorded
were of greater value than those she re
ceived from US, the dispute was referred
to a commission, to be composed of a
representative from each country, and a
third from Austria. Sir A. T. Gait ap-
peared for England, Judge E. H. Kel-
logg for the United States, and NJ. De
Forse for the neutral power. On the
part of Great Britain it was claimed be-
fore the Commission that the privilege
of fishing in American waters is worth
less, and Sl2,OO0,O0O was asked for as
compensation for the use of the Canadi-
an inshore fisheries. and $3.50, 900 fol
those on the Newfoundland coast.
The Austrian Commissioner sided
with England, and the award was fixed
as above, the sum to be paid within one
year. Judge Kellogg, the American
Commissioner, dissented. If we follow
England's example in the Alabama
claims case. we have only to acquiesct
and pay up promptly.

CONGRESS-.

The regular session Of Congress began
last Monday. No particular changes
were made. and it was but the continual
tiOn Of the long and exciting extra ses-
sion. The Presidents message was very
we'll received, though some Of the most
radical of each party took exceptions to
portions Of it. Enough was done, or at
tempted to be done, during the extra
session. to show the strength of the par
ties, and the support that the various
measures are likely to receive during the
present session. 1t is pretty evident
that both branches of Congress will vote
to make silver coin legal tender for a
large. if not unlimited, sum. The fierce
contest in the Senate for a majority has
caused severe partizan warfare and con-
siderable disreputable action in that
body. When party reaches that depth
of degradation that it will vote to ele-
vate such man as Butler, the So. Car
DINA, Hamburger butcher, to a position
in the Senate, it is about time for the
party to discard all pretentiOns to virtue
or respect. On the other hand, the Re-
publicans find traitors and vote purchas.
ers in their own ranks, who are willing
to sell their votes to keep out of the
penitentiary. The Republicans still
maintain majority, but it is too small
and unreliable to be very useful.

longing to Migneault in his possession,
surmised that he might have accidently
handed him the ne-hundred- dollar
Lane note, in place of the one hundred
dollar one.in his possession. He pro-
cured an officer, went to Migneault's
house and asked to see the notes that
were taken up on the previous day men,
toned. With perfect unconcern Mr..
Migneault and his wife brought forward
the notes, which they said were six in
number, for examination. On counting
the notes there were five, but Migneault's
folks pretended to know nothing about
the sixth note, or the Lane note. Steps
were Immediately taken to find out, if
possible, whether the Migneault women,
Mrs. Migneault and her daughter, Mrs.
Sanborn, had been away from home, or
about the Line, on the day the Lane note
was presented to the bank. 1t was found
that they went away from home, but
where they went to no one knew. They
borrowed considerable jewelry of neigh
bors, stating that they were going to
West Charleston to get their pictures
taken. Enquiry at that place was made,
but they had not been to the picture
saloon. The teller of the bank was
taken to the Migneault house and shown
the women, but he could not recognize
them as the ones who drew the money
on the Lane note No place could be
found where either of the women had
spent any considerable sums of honey.
In the meantime Mrs. Sanborn had
gone to her home IN Sheffield Officers
were sent there. but the frightened
woman went into Mysteries, aid nothing
could be elected from her, neither could
any clue to the missing money be obtain
ed. Since that time Mrs. S. has been
arrested and taken to Derby, but we do
not learn that any new facts have been
discovered. Circumstances seem toshow
that Migneault carried home. probably
by accident. the missing note, and that
the women folks, either alone, or by the
aid of some intelligent rogue, planned
and executed the scheme of drawing the
money on it. The plan was well carried
out, whoever conceived and executed it
and up to the present time we have no
learned that any positive proof has beer
found against the women or anybody
else. The family has stood we'll in soci

in order who are next prettiest. Eacn

writes upon his coupon, depositing the
same in box afterwards. The hand
soonest mother is to have prize of a
gold watch and chain, and money prizes
ranging from Sl0O down are to go to

are to be decided by a selected commit

The Senate devoted fifteen minutes, a

sides the squabbles for party supremacy.
The Exposition bill was passed. There
are certain amendments to be agreed to

quarrel over them. The bill will doubt

some energetic work will be needed, with

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Hayes first annual message
is an admirable public document-sen-
sible, sound, patriotic and statesmanlike
in its sentiments-clear and forclble in
its style. Touching at once upon the
all absorbing question of his treatment
Of the Southern problem. the President
explains and euforces the course taken
at the outset of his administration, and
reasserts his conviction of its wisdom
and necessity. Proceeding to the next
great public topic, he urges the import
ance of allowing no interference with
the course of the law and Of business re-
specting the resumption Of specie pay
ments, since early resumption is the on
ly way to early prosperity. The mes
sage is very positive in regard to the
silver question. 1t favors double
standard, but does not favor the unlim.
tied legal-tender quality of the silver
dollar. The President regards the ma
tional debt as contracted in gold, anC
thinks that it should be paid, principa
and interest, IN that coin OF its full
equivalent. He does not believe silve
should be received for customs. HI
would not give the silver dollar an,
higher place than that occupied by ma
tional bank notes. He desires silver fol-
subsidiary coin, but with limited lega
tender. In regard to the civil service
the President reafirms, in concise an
pointed terms, the views expressed j

and therfOreign topics he proposes

THE SWINDLE ON THE DERBY
LINE BANK.

The daily papers have given brief
brief accounts. from time to time, of the
loss of 5000 by the Derby Line Nation
al Bank, and the arrest Of the parties
who are believed to be concerned in
getting the money. From the facts that
have come to us from various sources,
we give the following account of the af-
fair: Some years ago, one Migneault,
Canadian, bought farm in Derby of
Mary Morrill,, and paid her 5000 down,
giving a mortgage for the balance of the
purchase money. Mrs Morrill,, not hav-
ing use for the money, loaned it to Eli
sha Lane of West Derby, and took his
note for the same. Mr.. Lanes note and
also the notes given by Migneault to
Mrs. Morrill, we're left in the possession
of Moses Kelsey, brother of Mrs. Nor
rill. Some time during the fall, Mig
neault. having considerable money on
hand, went to Mr.. Kelsey and desired
to pay 5000, and take up six one humid
red dollar notes which he owed Mrs.
Morrill,. Mr.. Kelsey brought forward
the notes, cast the interest and received
the money, handing the same to Mrs.
Morrill,, who was then at his house.
A few days after this transaction, two
women appeared at the Derby Line
Bank, one of them thought to be young
lady, the other of considerable age, and
each curiously bundled up, for the sea-
son in the year. One of them presented
5000 note to the teller, bearing the
signature Of Elisha Lane, and given tx
Mary Morrill,. She gave her name al
Mary Morrill,, and desired to have thu
note discounted. The teller knew th,
signature of Elisha Lane, and was yer,
willing to discount the paper as soon a
the woman endorsed it as MARY Nor
rill." On the next day the real Mar,
Morrill, came to the bank and deposite,
the $500 received of Migneault Tn
cashier was in at that time, and vel
coined Mrs. Morrill, as an old acquaint
ance, and gave her certificate for tn
deposit. Sometime not long after MI
Kelsey happened into the bank, and tn
cashier spoke to him about the borrow
ing of the money by Mrs. Morrill,, o
one day, at eight per cent, and the dc
posting of the same the next day at
much lower rate.
Mr. Kelsey was surprised at the info
nation received and asked the bank ma
what he meant. When informed tn;
the bank held the Lane note and ha
: paid out the money for the same, Kelse
} was thunderstruck. But the note W;
presented, and the fact established TIL
: the bank held a note which Kelsey wou
: have sworn was safely locked up at b
home. Returning home Mr.. Kelsey di
covered that tie note was gone. T
Immediately telegraphed Mrs. Morril
: who had gone to Massachusetts,, in rega
e to the note. and learned from her tn
q she had not drawn any money on t
: note, and expected that it was in b
4 possession. Kelsey finding that he b

The arrest and commitment to Jail of
Richard ("Dick') Peabody, son of Rich
ard W. Peabody, for forgery, is not
much else than what might be expected
after what had been discovered against
him heretofore. He was ''smart" boy,
at least in the estimation of his friends,
and struck out in business on his faith
er's financial reputation. After carrying
on an extensive lumber business, build
ing mills and houses and living very
extravagant life, he failed, running his
father and many others, far and near.
Finally, he resOrted to forgery to add
another blot to his name. His sad fall
carried sorrow into the homes Of his
friends, and his aged mother survived
the sad news Of his last crime only few
days His friends deserve much SYM
