Licenses for the Fisheries.

By a recent decision Of the Treasury De.
partment some radical changes have been
made relative to issuing licenses for the FISH,
cries By the decision it appears that the
only occupation recognized rs fisheries y

and while there i no lsw to prevesE sesssls
from taking fish Of other kinds than thsse
mentioned. as a business, still VESSELS so
employed cannot be considered as engaged
in the fisheries within the meaning Of the
law. nor can they be documented therefor,
nor gain any privileges accorded to fishing
vessels.
Vessels engaged in catching other hsh
than whales. cod and mackerel," must take
out documents for either the foreign or
ooasting trade. For instance vessels going
TO the Magdalen islands or other foreign
ports or places, to procure in any manner .
cargo Of herring. mus; sail under register,

Of the decision would seem TO imply that

THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC

Some of the Democrats DOu.t Like
It-An End Of the Fraud issue.

Especial Dispatch TO The Erealng .Sdr.l
NEW YORK, Sept 13.-About as furious set
Of people as you can meet this morning are the
prominent democrats around the hotels. They
agree in charging that the action OF the execu.
tive committee OF the national democratic COM
mittee last night was piece OF very bad policy;
that the resolutions are meaningless and alb
surd, and ut supplement TO Barnum'S blum
ders during the campaign. A prominent or
a1Sf anGana who for this state and
tons are the sublimity OF nonsense
IT," said be, that committee had not done so
many idiotic things in the past, this could be
excused, but they have placed a tit cap sheat
on their history, and l hope the democratic
party has heard the last OF the executive CON.
mfttee at least The resolution suggesting that
state committees look into the frauds is ridicu
lous because IL was In the face OF the facts
that we only charged fraud In New
York city. The Apgar letter clearly de
lined the state committees policy, and
as for the representative comai.tee OF a
great party passing resolutions that Il was no;
responsible for the publication OF the Morey let
ter, after circulating million copies of it, and
that they did not as a committee harbor In their
house two .perjurers, but that the clerk lh
charge did. In the committees absence, is too
absurd to deserve any consideration by thought
ful men. / am sorry, very sorry, that
the executive committee did anything at al
the mess we are In by saying to-day
that he has doubts as to The genuineneSs Of the
Morey letter. his after he said his intimate
personal friend Garfield wrote the letter. ana
getheT, think our leaders have performed the
complete give away act to perfection
There Is one Thing about the executive com
mtttees action that gives great satisfaction to
business men,-the assurance that unless the
state committee here 60 into fraud iaveSllga-
ton, the election OF Garfield Will not be Seri-
ously questioned. II is already well kno wn that
the stat, committee is content to let the matter
