A Sct-Oh for Geneva.

II iea surprising despatch from Halifax
that the United States Government has been
fined sjj00O0O by the Fishery Commission
in session there. This sum has been award
ed to Great Britain.
In his message Of Dec. ;, 1870, President
GRANr called the attention OF Congress to
certain unfricndly proceedings OF the Cana
dian authorities Under the convention OF
1919. American fishermen had enjoyed the
right Of fishing in British waters, subject to
the restriction that they were not to take
fish within three miles OF the coast. Up to
the time Of the organization of the Donin-
ion OF Canada. the usage had been, when an
American fisherman was found violating
this restriction. to give him reasonable
warning and time to stand out 10 sea. But
the Dominion authorities, tho President
said, had exercised their newly ac-
quircd jurisdiction over tho it-shore
fishing grounds in harsh and unfrcndly
way. American vessels had been seized
without warning. carried into Canadian
ports and condemned. A vexatious right Of
search ON suspicion had been asserted. as
also the right to seize any American fishing
| vessel found ina Canadian port twcnty-four
hours after notice To leave had been served.
Congress was advised Ia empower the En-
ccutivc To- adopt gctaliatury measures.
OF course. there was another side to the
story. The Canadians insisted that they
were the wrongcd and aggrcvcd party in
the case: that they wcre losing millions of
dollars by the poachng Of these American
fishermen, and that. since the abrogatOn Of
the Reciprocity treaty. there Wa no reason
why they should put up with H.
When the High Joint Commission met in
Washington this question naturally came
up. and in one of the articles II the treaty
| provision was made for an arbitration. The
Canadian Commissioner. Sir JUHN 4. Nc

Through the action OF JOHN J. PATTERSON,
senator from South Carolina, and SIMON b.
CoNoyER, senator from Florida, the Repub-
ican aiorty in the Senate was broken on
Thursday last and Democratic majority
established on various questions prelimi-
nary to the admission OF NJ. c. BUTLER,
Democrat, as a Senator from South Caro-
lima. The contest, however, was not COM
pleted, but was postponed till Monday, when
il Is to be renewed.
What are the reasons which have led PAT
TERsON and CoNoyER thus to abandon the
party to which they have belonged, and to
give their support to the Democracy? This
question Is partially answered in yester
days Tribune as follows;
zone Of the most interesting features Of the scene in
the Senate was the presence Of Gen. NJ q. BUTLER OF
South Carolina and the part he took in the management
on the Democratic side. on several occasions Senator
noticed to be speaking with him tn ugh
he wa. receiving instructions how he should proceed
senator reports having overheard an order gwen by NJ
C. BUTLER Ia Mr. PArrrRsoN IN one OF the cloak rooms
during the progress OF roll call The former is reported
To have asked the latter. with oath why he In the
cloak and to have directed him to go out into the
chamber ana to vote ON the right side, too"
This man, PATTERSON, Is under indictment
in South Carolina for bribng members Of
the Legislature, and his surrender for trial
upon this indictment cannot long be delayed.
The evidence is complete and his conviction
apparently certain. In these facts we find
the secret of the power which Gen NJ. C. But
LER exercises over him. There is no reason
to imagine that any bargain has been made
between PATTERSON and the Democrats in
the Senate, because no such bargain Is
necessary. II there be bargain 1t comes
from South Carolina, aud when BUTLER
orders PATTERSON to vote on the right side,
the alternative he holds up before him Is, OF
course, the pcnitentlary.
similar control is, doubtless, excrtcd
over Mr.. CoNovER, He Is not yet indicted,
but has been mixed up in Florida with vii
lainics Of which an indictment is the natural
consequence heagent who directs his vote
has not yet been recognized but such an
agent there doubtless Is.
! The Repuhum,n have long known that
John PATTERSON was scoundrel OF the
basost quality. He was guilty in Penn
sYlvania of crimes which ought to have
put him in the state prison, and his
career In South Carolina is likewise no
torious. Had the Republican majority il
the Senate been governed 10y a proper sens,

To Republicans.

Il Is now probable that. unless the Demo
crate commit some suicidal foily-a th'ng
which their past history renders quite likely
tho election Of 1880 will give M Dem
ecratic President by such an electoral ma
jority that no device can avail TO set II
aside. That party already has majority
Of the House Of Representatives, and APP
pears likely soon to have majority of the
Senate. and thus when Democratic Presi-
dent is inauguratcd, the legislative and OK
ecutive branches of the Government Will
be entirely In the hands Of the Democrats
IL the Democracy should thus come into
mower IL will come Ia stay. The Republican
marty has now been In possession OF the
Government for more than sixteen years,

fidelity to the Constitution, economy III

dics. sinccurcs, and corruptons, they may

publican party at present il the Electoral

pentauce, it will crush them for long
time to come. But repentance and re-

There is another reason of an impera-

honest Republican: The Democrats are APP

there If always likelihood that in their
turn they will become so corrupt and so
pdious that the people will finally rise up
against them and endeavor to turn

Attempt to repeat the Republican Fraud
Of 1876. They may fasify the votes of

established for the purpose, create, in their
own interest, electors OF President and Vice
President. They may gather troops at
Washington TO overawe the Houses OF Con-
gress, threatening revolution and bloodshcd
against any stir Of opposition to their
scheme; and, finally, by an unconstitutional
Electoral Commission, they may declare the
beaten candidate elected, and install as
President man who has been rejected, both
Mt the polls and in the electoral colleges. All
this may hereafter be done by Democrats
unless the Republicans now join in such a
condemnation and such political punish

their monupolcs answer in part for this
great debt, and propose tn reduce the net
profits to the lowest figure, by dcducting
from them interest ON their first mortgage
bonds and other large items and returning
desert lands which remain unsoid at large
prices.
The two roads cleared about seventeen
millions of dollars last year, and are extend
ing branches in all directions from the prof

The Peril at Hand.

The situation is daily becoming more crit
zeal ON the Mexican border. President DIAz
has issued an order to the Mexican com
mandcr on the Rio Grande to rcpel any In
vasion Of our troops and he has sent there
Gen. TREvINo with a force 1850 strong
to carry out the order. This decisive
action has alarmed Gen. ORD. who
telegraphs TO Washington for reinforce
mcnts Of cavalry. The War Department
has refused to furnish information about
ORD's demand but takes the trouble 10
say that it does not appear an ap-
plication has been made for forces to
meet the anticipated collision with
the Mexican troops. As a matter Of
course, the business is kept secret at
the War Department; but the despatch from
San Antonio, which gives the gist Of the
order issued by President DIAz, from the
official copy sent to Gen. OKD, conveys the
news Of the call made upon the War Depart
ment by Gen. ORD, as soon a. he learned Of
DIAz's action. We have no doubt Of the
truth Of the despatch from Gen. ORD >
headquarters.
The state of things upon the Rio Grande
has thus become extremely pcrilnus, and
hostilties may any day be preciPitatod. 1t
is but short time since our troops made
several raids upon Mexican soil but another
raid cannot be made without war.

How Hayes Rewarded a Rascal.

On Jan. IT, 1873, a court martial held at
Louisville, and presided over by Col. FLINT
OF the Fourth Infantry, concluded its inves-
tigation Of certain charges brought against
BENJAMIN Z. kUNKLE, n Major on the re-
tired list OF the United States Army.
% RUNKLE had been stationed in Kentucky.
Ms disbursing officer OF the Freedmen's
Bureau. He was charged with the payment
OF money due to colored soldiers or TO their
widows and orphans for military services
IN defence Of the Union. These poor people,
without exception ignorant Of business and
little versed in the ways Of the world, We're
easy victims for an accomplished swindler.
IL appeared by the testimony brought be-
fore the court martial that RUNKLE EN-
ployed q man named c. d. SMITH, Of Padu-
cab, to hunt up claimants. The following
extract from letter from SMITH to RUNKLE
shows how the precious pair worked to-
gether:
"Encosed hnd a list Of persons whose claims have
been allowed, hut not paid on do not want write TO
Gen HowARD TO forward 10 you any OF them tor fear Of
making mistake a. have done In instance In the

been paid, here yesterday and II he don't get his
money | can't be answerable for the consequo noes,
Hs75o You can send 1t less 80, and he Will accept
hat"
The operations Of RUNKLE, In many cases
30 small and mean that professional sneak
thief would be ashamed to acknowledge
them, were continued for months after the
receipt Of this letter, SMITH remaining his
agent and assistant. Finally, the clamor of
the defrauded Africans attracted the atten-
tion of the War Department, and a count
martial was ordered. A tribunal of RUN
KLE's brother officers carefully examined
every one Of the numerous specifications Of
fraud brought against him. Throwing out
every Instance whore the moral certainty of
hi guilt was not associated with conclusive
legal proof the court martial found that
NUNKLE had stolen, and appropriated to
his own u7es, funds intrust"d to him for the
payment Of color"d soldiers in the following
cases:
