idea that this Government Is to pay Great
Britain S55OO,OOO for the privilege of fish
ing in the great ocean, which the Creator
has stocked with fish TO tempt the industry
Of man, is among the broadcst absurdities
incident to the nineteenth century.
IL American fishermen desired to fish
in Nova Scotian waters, and there were
local or general laws prohibiting it, the
privilege should have been secured through
such arrangements as the fishermen them
selves could make with the British authori-
ties, without taxing the National Treasury
for large sum for private benefit
As the case now stands the Government
pnyss5 100000 for this privilege, which in
dividuals, at the regular license rates, would
have paid only about $4,000 900 for. 1t is n
new feature, this expenditure of the Govern
ment funds TO Great Britain for individual
benefit, when no other branch ofprivate en-
terprise Is equally favored.

TO EXECUTE TmE LAWS ~ THE SOUTH.

After what may be accepted as the pro-
nouncCd determination OF the Administra-
ton to exhaust every legal power OF the
Government in an cndcayOr to enforce the
rights of citizens in every section of the
Union alike, the attention of the people
most dcsirous OF cilccting this result is very
naturally turned toward the Federal OH.
GERS in the southern States where the laws
have been so recently dciied, aud upon
whose sagucity, tdelity, and resoIutc pur-
pose depends largely the ultimate success Of
an undertaking OF such vast Importance.
From the judges OF the United States Dis
trct and Circuit Courts, down to the
humblest officer appointed to aid them in
the exercise Of their various functions, GER
tainly none but true men whose fealty to
principle and love Of justice is of such
known character as to enable them, under
the most trying circumstances, to overcome
the moral and physical restraint which the
performance Of their sworn duty at this
time is sure to bring against them.

THE WAR SETTLED NOTHING.

Those who have fancied that the South
regards the issues that led to the war to
crush rebellion as settled will begin to
discover under Southern developments that
they do not so regard the case. Colonel c.
c. JONES, who grated at Augusta, Ga, re-
Gently, upon the occasion of unvciling the
Confederate monument, indulged in the fol-
lowing sentiments of paciication and re-
cancellations
For the past we have no apologies TO offer,
no excuses to render, no regrets TO utter, save
that we failed in our high endeavors; no tears
to shed, except over withered hopes and the
graves Of our departed WORTHLESS. We yielded
In the end because we were ovcrborne by
superior numbers and weighter munitions.
Any pledges given will be by us duly OBJ
served but 1t is well known, alike by friend
and stranger, that nothing has been absolutely
determined except the question of comparative
strength. The issue furnished only a ply
sical solution Of the moral social, and political
propositions involved IN the gigantic struggle.
The sword never docs aud never can campaSs
other than d iUrcibe arbit1mcnt in matters
OF conscience, principle, and inalenablc right.
Even now the fundamental claims the poli-
teal principles and the vested rights In support
OF which the Southern people expended their
blood aud treasure are, In u moral point OF
view, unaffected by the result of the contest.
This We confidently affirm in the teeth Of the
practical and In many respects lamentable con.
sequences cntailed by the intervention of the
ris major. The necessity was laid upon us to
maintain our State sovereignty, home rule,
honor property, and sclf.respect, at the ex-
pense of wounds desolation, and death. An
appeal to arms in an unequal strife and in a
defensive war was all that was left to us. We
accepted the issue. For four long and bloody
ties enlisted in the great battle for constitu-
tona liberty and scli.prcscrvatiOn. We failed,
hut not until we had demonstrated to an ex-
pCctant world that we esteemed life less dear
than honor, ard that we were at least not un-
worthy the privileges, the homes, and tho

ROMAN CATHOLIC GOVERNMENT.

A very important change in the gov
crument Of the Roman Catholic Church
in the United States is to take place
on the Isl day OF January next Here.
toiore the organization OF the dioceses
and provinces in this country has
been regarded as a missionary jurisdiction,
the bishops, under the direct authority of
the Roman Sec exercising absolute power
over their prClatcs and congregations. After
the commencement OF the new year that
power is to be subjected to the canon law, rs
in the Old World, where the church has
been long established. Parish priests are TO
be rcctors Of their parishes, as in the Protcs.
tant Episcopal Church. and their removals
are not subject to the will of the bishops,
but can be accomplished only through con.
victon OF some moral or ecclesiastical of
fcnse before a clerical court elected by a
diocesan synod This change in the govern.
mCnt of the church looks, no doubt to a
more permanent form Of organization
analogous to the establishment of civil order
in country which has been governed by
military rule. 1t is unQucstionably stcr
in advance of that heretofore occupied 10y
the ROmanists in this country toward q
greater power and influence under rcpub'
lican form Of government.

maxim that the duty of the President Is simply
to enforce the Federal laws, leaving the State;
TO take care OF their own concerns. The dis
agreement between tho President aud the

THE NATIONAL BANKS AND SILVER.

The indications are that the national
banks are disposed to make war upon the
silver dollar, aud, If possible, place 1t at
disadvantage In tho scale OF currency. II
this be true, these institutions are making
serious mistake II il the part of wisdom
with them to accept the currency situation
Just as it is presented, without exciting 4
stronger feeling of antagonism toward them
selves than now exists by assuming an atti-
tude Of hostility toward the silver dollar
The Truth is that the reconciliation Of sill
yer Is the offspring Of u strong public scnti-
mcHt which is entitled to respect among the
national banks. Indeed 1t is more pow
eiiul sentiment than can be rallied now IN
support Of these institutions, and under an
active putugouism between them the nl-
tiunal banks will be forced to suCCumb 10
Al unequal power.
We do not make these remarks on ac-
count OF any hostility toward the national
banks for we have none to crafty. They
have been Of great service to the business
interest, Of the people and were al aid to
the Government when it needed linancia
sucCor, and for that reason they are entitled
