THE Governors of Delaware and
New Jersey with their Attorney Cen
erals had a meeting in Philadelphia on
Monday to discuss the fishery question
and reached, we are plased to state,
satisfactory conclusion. The agreement
arrived at by the conference was that,
pending the final action Of theSupreme
Court, Jersey fishermen are not to fish
west of the channel of the Delaware
bay; the channel itself to be open to
the fishermen of both States; and that
Port Penn replevin suits in the United
States court are to be abandoned.
Just where the river ends and the
bay begins, an essential point now to
be decided, was, by agreement, left to
the attOrney-generals of the respective
States to determine; who will give
public notice of the same when settled
upon. Among river men the lower
end of Reedy Island is said to be re-
garded as marking the line of demar-
cation between the river and bay.

Mr.. EDITOR will you permit me
to correct, through your columns, Il
slight misapprehension that may arise
in the minds of those who lent me the
favor of their attention Sunday even
ing in the Methodist Episcopal Church? 4?
The error was all my own aud was TO
me quite amusing. Indeed, when cor
rected, it may seem Of slight import
ance, but should really be quite un-
willing to so on record rs meaning
precisely what l said. I'm discussing
one phase of the evenings subject
intended to remark Of children that
" they needed the relaxation of the
all.feLd quite as much rs the refine
ment OF tle piano-stuol." " Ii seems
that what | did suggest, MAS the re-
taxation of the ballroom.
You will observe that there is some
thing Of a difference. 1t may strike
some of your readers and my hearers
as being immaterial, and | won't en-
croach upon your space by discussing
that point. The simple fact to which
| wish to call attention is that believe
in the ballGeld and meant to have used
that term, and that do not approve of
the ballroom, and should prefer not to
have created the impression that |
had gone back on my early training.

vote ON the Water worlzs.

AT the last meeting of the Board OF
Town Commissioners n resolution was
adopted to bring the question of water
works before our people for a vote as
soon as possible. The question has
been delayed because they have not II
copy of the law as it passed the Leg
islature, the laws not yet having
passed through the printers hands, but
by this action of the commissioners it
will be brought before the people
as soon as it conveniently can, ten
days notice of the election being
required. The voters will consist of
property owners only, male or female,
residing in the limits of the town. The
property qualification is individual,
corporation property having no vote.

THE papers during the past week,
the New York Sun taking the lead,
have been hauling Mr.. Bayard over
the Goals on his family record. In his
address before the students of the Mis-
souri, University he is reported as hav-
ing said that when, in consequence of
a tie between Jefferson and Burr in the
Electoral College, the election deyOlved
upon the House Of Representatives
his grandfather, a Federalist, instructed
by Hamilton, the great chief of the
Federalists, cast his vote for Thomas
Jefferson. Mr.. Bayard says What he
did say was that by Withholding his
vote for Burr, which would have
elected him, and voting a blank his
grandfather did more than any man
except Hamilton, to defeat Burr and
elect Jefferson. The Philadelphia
Times says:
Jefferson and Burr were the can
didates of the Republicans and Adams
and Pinckney of the Federalists. I'm
der the provision of the Constitution
then existing the candidate having the
highest electoral vote became Presi-
dent and the next Vice President.
There WAS tie between Jefferson and
Burr. The choice fell to the House
and it was restricted to two candidates.
Jefferson and Burr. The Federalist
generally supported Burr, and Secre-
tary Bayard's grandfather, in spite of
HamlltOn's entreaties, voted on thirty
five ballots for the man who seven
years afterwaFd was tried for treason. ,
There was no time during the thirty
i've ballots that Secretary Bavard's
grandfather could not have secured
JetersOn's election by his own vote.
He was appealed to do this by Alexan-
der Hamilton, who, although he detest-
ed Jefferson, believed it safer to entrust
the Presidency to him than to elevate
Burr. What Secretary Bayard SAYS
about HamiltOn's support of Jefferson
Is true, but his grandfather didn't sup
port Jefferson"
Mr. Bayard contends his grandfather
showed the highest point of patriotism
by Withholding his vote for his candi-
date of whose integrity there was a
doubt, and thereby electing the oppo-
sitiou candidate.

THE latest solution proposed for the
Cabinet problem in England to succeed
the Gladstone Ministry is to shove the
safe, but slow, Sir Stafford NorthcOte
into the House of Lords as u new peer,
and put him in subordinate place in
the Ministry. This, it is said, would
leave an open field for Lord Salisbury
as Premier, and give the Conservative
leadership in the House of Commons
to Sir Edward Hicks-Beach. With a
majority in the Parliament against
them, the new Ministry will have a
rough time of it.
