by her upon the expiration OF the
settlement made by that treaty. For the
relations of England, Canada and the
United States to this dispute are such that
while each Of the others has responsibility
weighed against the chance for an advan-
tage, England alone may come in for cuffs
and hard words in many contingencies, but
not for hapence in any one. As the years
pass away it seems to English statesmen
that the fisheries present subject that con-
stantly grows in difficulty. and the same
lapse of time and lessening of vital interest
in the fortunes of the Dominion shapes
English opinion adversely to the compro-

tions with the United States for the sake OF

Congress Yesterd u v.

The Senate and House decided yesterday
to adjourn until Monday morning at ten
o'clock, so that the special session will prac-
tically run into the regular session Of the
new Congress, which meets at noon to-mor-
row. In the Senate petitions, bills and reso-
lutions were tumbled on the Secretarys
desk as if the day were the beginning in
stead OF the end Of the session. Mr.. Davis,
Of Illinois, endeavored to convince his fell
low Senators of the absurdity of the thing,
but his mild rsmonstrance was of no effect,
and honorable members went on with the
Legislative comedy as if they expected their
pet schemes to be taken up and acted upon
at once. Finally the Deficiency bill was
considered, and amendments providing for
the expenditure Of more than million dol
lars additional to the amount agreed upon by
the House were adopted. The House very
properly refused to instruct the Committee
on Ways and Means to bring in tariff bill
which should be- purely u revenue measure
and blunderingly defeated q general am
nesty measure. A two-thrds majority was
required, and that could not be obtained.
In unanim mously passing resolution allow
ing some compensation to the families of
the unfortunate men who were lost on the
Huron it came up to the demand of the
country on the subject and did just, meri-
.torious and patriotic work. The Senate, for
some inscrutable purpose, referred the res
olution to one Of its committees, which, it
is to-, be hoped, will present favorable
report as early as possible the cominp week.

citizen of another country. Equitably such
cases might fairly enough be left to them
selves but when a man has legal right to
call upon our government for protection it
is not within its discretion to refuse it, and
hence it has taken up this mans case. But
having taken it up it should have dealt with
it thoroughly out of regard to its proper
sense OF self-respect. Now, to have pro-
cured the revocation of the decree against
Bedel is not satisfactory solution. There
should be some MISUNDERSTANDING for
the inconvenience and wrong and loss OF
time and injury through his enforced de-
parture to the business enterprises IN
which he was engaged.

That Expelled American.

Mr. Noycs, the United States Minister to
France, has obtained the repeal of the order
by which Mr. Bcdel, an American citizen
resident in France, was forcibly put out Of
the country during the recent election. 1t
will be remembered that this gentleman's
crime was an unconcealed sympathy with
the republican candidate in the district in
which he resided. Mr.. Bedel is, in fact, q
Frenchman and has passed his whole life in
France. but is q native Of the United States,
and has no. forfeited the citizenship to
which he became entitled q. his birth. He
is, therefore, one of that class Of citizens
that is generally at the bottom of every
international complication-a man who is
practically a citizen of one country
and enjoys the protection of its laws, but
who, the moment the operation of those
laws becomes oppressive, endeavors to es-
cape from them, claims the protection of
other laws. and is seen tn be technically the

License NIOneys.

The notice given on Wednesday last by the
Excise Commissioners to the Comptroller not
to appropriate any more of the excise moneys
to charitable societies at present, as con-
tingencies might arise which might compel
the Excise Board to refund the license fees
in whole or in part, is another of the un-
pleasant complications consequent on the
want Of a proper excise law tor New York.
1t is evident that the charitable institutions
of the city will be the real sufferers by the
existing confusion. At best they will re-
ceive nearly quarter Of million dollars
less this year than they received last
wear, and there seems to be q pos
sbility that their future receipts will be
stopped until May next. But the notice
given to the Comptroller needs some ex-
planation. The Excise Commissioners
have for some time been in the habit of
taking deposits of money from applicants
for licenses, but postponing the issuing of
the licenses until, as they allege. the neces-
sary inquiries have been made as to the
right of the applicant to receive the same.
The police have recognized the receipts for
the money thus deposited as equivalent to
n license and have not interfered with the
business of those who hold them. Has the
money thus received on deposit only, been
paid over to the Finance Department II
not, where is it kept and what is its
amount :?

Pulpit Topics To-Day.

The Advent season opens to-day in the
ecclesiastical calendar, and this tact will give
direction to the sermons in many Of our city
vents of Christ are necessary to salvation;
DR.. Tying, Jr., will tell his people how char
acter is built up, and Mr.. Newton how, by
the heart sovereignty, women may rule as
queens; DR.. Preston will indicate the rela-
ton OF the Church to the world, and Mr.
Giles will treat of the Divine Trinity and
the personal unity of God, and will show
that God is one in essence and in person,
in whom is the Divine Trinity, and
that that person is the Lord Jesus
Christ. The object of the discourse
is to reconcile reason and the Scrip
lures. The consequences Of mans apostasy
will be shown by Mr.. Moment, and the
race that is set before us will be run by MIR.
Burch until it ends in salvation. Pride and
prejudice arrayed against truth will be
overthrown by the guns of Mr.. Davis, while
DR.. Smith will present the religious aspects
of the Eastern question. The outgoings of
DR.. Herr's faith will lead to Christ the re-
vealer of God and to the love Of the Father,
which DR.. Armitage will set right. Mr.
Hepworth, having gone safely through
Thanksgiving, will present his reasons for
giving thanks, and Mr.. Colcord will tell US
( what we must do to be saved, and Mr..
Humpstone what we shall do with our
children. Heaven and hell will receive Mr..
Schroeders attention, and publicans and
sinners will stand side by side before Mr..
Pullman. Mr. Johns will draw lessons from
sparrows, Mr.. Jutten, from Elijah at Horeb,
will show the excellency of the knowledge
of Christ and Mr.. Martyr from the inter-
view of Jesus with Nicodemus. DR..
Phillips will take his hearers through India,
whence hehas lately returned, and will show
them what Bible schools are doing there.
Mr. Sweetser will take his people through
the land of the Philistines and show them

University boat Read and Eldridge, and,

lose nothing and likely to win something
by the earlier session. The blnnder was
the more inexcusable inasmuch as the
policy he had initiated was so contrary to
the traditional policy of his party as to be
almost certain to make enemies, who only
needed time to increase their numbers.
When Ohio voted, and voted against him,
distinctly rebuking his policy, his eyes
must have been opened to sense Of the
the Ohio defeat other evils crowded thick
and fast. Emboldened by the result Mr..
Conkling led crusade against the admins
tration in New York so fierce in its charac-
ter as to induce the belief that he courted
the fate of Samson and would pull down
the temple of republicanism in New York
about his ears only to lie crushed and dead
beneath its ruins. But Samson had not been
shorn, of his locks. In November he carried
both branches of his State Legislature and
reduced the democratic majority ofuths pre-
ceding three years. Pennsylvania followed
Ohio into the democratic column, deserting
the administration and condemning its

quasi rebuke of the President uttered under
its breath. The only seriously contested
November State to give President Hayes On
Endorsement was Massach usetts, and what
an abject political poverty is exposed in
the claim of Massachusetts, as a republican
triumph! What wonder that after the No
vember elections Mr. Conkling went
back to Washington strengthened and
emboldened? The fatal mistake made by
the President became then manifest to oil.
The opposition to his policy in his own
party grew stronger from day to day; the
democrats were encouraged to make their
recent exciting contest, and finally the re-
publican Senate subjected the President to
the humiliations OF the last days of the un-
fortunate extra session. 1t only remains to
be added that by the mistake of avoiding the
constitutional duty of calling an extra ses-
sion before the commencement OF the
present fiscal year and putting it off until
it trod on the heels of the regular session
the Army Appropriation bill, for which
alone it was needed, only passes just as the
regular session meets, and could have been
postponed for its action without any more
inconvenience to the service than has
already been experienced.

England and the American Fish
cries.

BY the cable despatch with the views OF
the London Times on the arbitration at Hal
ifax it will be seen that English opinion is
now especially directed toward the possibil-
ity of the reopening of oil the disputed
points in regard to the fisheries upon the
expiration OF the time for which the conces-
sion was made by the Treaty OF Washington.
This is leap beyond the issue made by the
award and seems to take it for granted that
there can be no trouble on that score either
as to the amount or as to the objection of
the representative of the United States in
the Board of Arbitration. England's inter-
est in what may be done or not done under
a treaty as to which she has no further re-
sponsibility is of course far less than her
intarest in what may remain to be done
