JOHN BULL AND BROTHER JONATHAN.
Mr.. Blaine is of the opinion that the
Halifax Fishery Commission was deliber-
ately packed by British influence, and that
the award against the United States of
s5,5OO,OOO, was unjust and ought not to
be binding. On the other hand, it is al
legged that the Geneva award of SIS, 000,-
900, paid by Great Britain to the United
States, was excessive, and that half of il
still remains in the treasury, sitter all ls-
gitimate claims have been satisfied. Are
not honors easy? Would it not be better
to submit to an unsatisfactory verdict than
to repudiate tribunal before which VIC
voluntarily appeared as o nation?

Mr.. Tilden and Mr.. Hewitt.
The New York letter of the Philadel-
phia Ledger, dated March ID, says;


phia Ledger, dated March 13, says;
1t is no secret that the partnership hereto
fore existing between the firm of Messrs.
Hewitt and Tilden has been dissolved by mu-
tual consent. The causes for some time past
at work to produce that result have been fire.
ouently limited at in this correspondence, but
the last feather on the camers back, as far as
Mr.. Tilden is concerned, was Mr.. Hewitt. s
speech day or two ago arraigning the Ad-
ministration of President Hayes, and as
serting that s'the Presidents title to his office
is absolutely unassailable. Mr.. Tilden IS
understood to have said that that speech APP
pears to have been made without any intelll :
gible motive, apart from desire for public
notoriety. He is as much averse now as Mr.;
Hewitt is to reopening OF the PRESIDENTIAL
count, and more than once OF late he has ex-
pressed himself to that effect. If Mr.. Hew-
tits only object, therefore, was to make war
on the Presidents Civil Service Reform poll
CIV, Mr.. Tilder is of opinion that the party
will lose more than it will gain by his speech.
He thinks it will have tendency to increase
the unfriendliness already existing between
the Northern and Southern Democracy, mas
much as the latter appear to have made up
their minds to stand by the President as long
as he is disposed to befriend them. MIR.
Hewitts friends are not uniformed OF these
criticisms, but attribute them to the fact that
Mr.. Tilden was not consulted before the
speech was made. The growing GOODNESS be-
tween these two distinguished gentlemen may
not be a very important matter in itself, but,
in view of the consequences to which 1t IS
likely to lead, in the future reformation of
parties and factions, as significant sign OF
the times, it ought not to be passed by.

MoTIoN.-The Philadelphia Ledger, of

and greenbacks arrived yesterday, that in
many places gold dollars were given out
in change, when greenbacks or National
Bank notes of two dollars or upwards were
rendered in payment for small amounts.
There was no splurgc or proclamation about
this, for It game about in a business like
way, gold dollars being easier of access
than one dollar bills. Thus specie resump,

State Finances.

The Baltimore american, of Thursday,
publishes the following cheerful view OF
the finances of the State:
The statement given out from Annapolis
that large increase of the public debt will
be necessary in order to meet the ordinary
expenses of Government has been generally
received with surprise and incredulity, as no
one ever dreamed of the occurrence of such a
necessity Immediately following a large in
crease of the basis of taxation. The letters of
our Annapolis correspondent, and especially
the one we publish this morning, show from
the statements of the Treasury officials them
selves that no such necessity exists. So far
from the State finances being in such an un-
healthy state that money will have to be raised
by State loan in order to meet the regular
disbursements, the treasury is in an excellent
condition, and the prospective revenues are
abundant. Beyond such amount as may be
Necessary to take up the debt contracted for
expenditures during the riots, and to pay for
the State House improvementsan and equipment
of the House of Correction, there is no ne
cessity for State loan, and it cannot be pos
sible that even the gentlemen who control the
politics Of the State will have the audacity to
make any suck large increase of the public
debt as has been intimated in some quarters.
