One by one tho candidates on the BurLen tickot in Mussnchusetts fade from view, and it becomes daily more and wore ovident that only the head of thiat ticket will in fact bo before tho peoplu for their sullrages when tho day of the clection nrrives. It s now caid that Carrn Cosmuxa, fucling kis pride nsulted by being placed in such politien oontiguity, hat notified the Burren Execu- tive Committee thist tho dranght which the aforesnid Committeo hos mixed for him is in the highest degreo nnpalatable, and that un- der the peculiar eircumatances ho cannot touch it. It may be observed that whon Mr, Oaven Cusning declines the nomination of & porty the fortunes of that organization can bo set down ns extremoly unpromisiug. There is now apparently no alternative for Judge Daxas save tbat of scknowledging sud promptly correcting the error mado in cxclading Mr, TromsoN, the Assistant Dis. trict-Attorney, from any share in the con. duct of the investigation by the Grand Jury of the Chicsgo Custom-llonsa constructlon fraads, DBoth Bocretary 8nersaax and Attor- ney-eneral Daovens have published their deuiuls of having issued any ordera of the Lind montioned, and it now seems o be suttied that 110 such orders wero Issued from any Department officer having direct or ad- visory control over the District-Attorney, Upon whoso authority, thon, does Judge Baxos cripplo the investigation by barring out the oficer most conversaut with tle fruuds under inquiry It will not esenpe notice just at this time pot the Hing members of the County Bonrd aro rumarkably sollcitous that the prisonors in the County Jail should be sump- tuously provisioned, and that they are unwille ing to consent to any reduction of the Sher. i’ excesslve allowance for dieting the pris- ouners. Either tho members of the Ring have o dircet interest in the onormous profits of Kenx in tho jall sestaurant, or elso they object to cutting down ths allowance, not kuowing bow soon they may be obliged to toke board at the Bherif’s table. It is most probable that the for- mer consideration governs, since the dieting business is notoriously s bonanza for tho Bheriff snd the membens of the County Board Ring who fix the rates to be allowed. I'he only way to eflect a saving of §20,000 o year iu this direction is to elect a Sheriff who will be satisfied with the actual cost of the food furnished, and also to defeat the two Rivg wewbers, Crzaxx snd' Murroy, who aro caudidates for re-alection.

No charge was mado for thaimmense expenso consed to the Governmont by the prolonga- tion of the War throngh English ageacies. The Alabama awnrd was absurdly semall as compared with the actual damages fnflioted upon us. The Pishory award was mado upon an ontirely difforent basis, It might be com- pared to tho adjustment of the books of two commercial houses doing business together to ascortain rolative profits. In making that ndjustment the American people have the right to complain not only that the jury was packed agalnst them, but that the advantage of afrao market for the Canadian fish more then offsot tho proflts of our fishermen, It was an unjust and iniquitous award,"n which we were overreached by an arbiteator acting in the interests of Great Britain, . and looks vory much like o conspiracy to got been paid over to the claimants. It is a little romarkable that bo doos not know the reason of tho delay to be the distracting and conflicting nature of these claims, Dut this fanot o tho point, The two awards have nothing in common., Tho ono was the pay- ment of actunl loases. unfalr arbitration on imaginary profits, and, upon tho top of this indignity, the English Government now proposed to seb aside a local legislation, prised at tho space devoted in that paper to sworn enemy of the peace and liberty of the There i8 no warrant for the implication that Maj. Horrsax paid his bondsmen a portion of his commissions for the risk they incurred in pigning their names to his bond, Of conrse he did nothing of the kind, and the Times knows it perfectly well. The compensation that Maj, Horruan thought he ought to bave had no reference to any obligation incarred other than that which every publio officer takes upon himsclf when he calls upon his friends to farnish security for the faithful performance of his daties, when inobedionco to tho univeraal Iaw of reciprocation he takes upon himself the obligation of returning the favor, oven to the extent of giving his honds- men a partial control of tho patronage at. taching to the office, It is no slight matter to procure a bond in tho ponal sum of $4,000,000, and, it is A matter of coursa thst *“one doesn't got it for nothing.” prastil dades el The Mivres investigation in 8alt Lake City is bringing out some of tho pecaliaritics of the institution upon which the Mormon Chureh is based. It appenrs that the man Mires, besides being possessed of A remark- nable fund of marital ambition, has also an all money collected by him to the persons to whom it belongs, and must pay over to tha pnblic trensury all the money which, tpon & sottlement of his nccounts, ho owes the public, No such fettlement as this is possible if the Bheriff bo re-olocted. He becomes his own execntor. IHe simply rotains in his hands ail the monoy and all his books ‘and accounts, and keeps them in his own safo until at Inst thero js a chango and A settlement; and then, when the samo man has boen Sherilf more than one term, there is often aa exposure, nnd a deficit, and a public loss, and a loud publio wail over tho folly of clocting any man in such an offico to second term. Regrets aver the failure to adhere to this rulo, however froquent and general, ara all in vain, Tho tima to nct.is ot tho eloction. He who votes to continue a mon in such an offico two terms in succession hns no right to bowail a consequent defaleation and pub- lio loss.

THE FISHERY COMPLICATION, Tho act passed by Congress making the appropriation for the payment of tho Ialifax Fisheries award to Groat Britain left the payment ontirely optional with the Govern- ment and dependent upon the results of certain correspondence with the English Govornment. That correapondonce bns as. sumed frosh importance, owing to the com- plications which have arison growing out of tho attacks made npon our fishermon last Jonuary upon the const of Newfoundland. Before that correspondence can be com- pleted the himit of time—Nov. 24 ensuing— may expire, Whether such bo the case or not, it is cheering to nato that Becrotary Evarts substantially takea the ground that the award will not be pald unless the English Governmont is ready to do justico in the premises, Becretary Evants has stated the piosition of the Governmont, in a very forcible and posi- tive maoner. His letter to the American Minister at Loudon is tantamonnt to o noti- fication to tho English Governmont that if it indorses the report made by its anval officer &3 to the Nowfoundland outrages, it is equiv- alent to n decision that tho Coloninl laws may at auy time set nmdo trenty provisions and control the conditions, already named in the treaty, upon which our fishermen can follow their business in Cansdian waters. , 8o long, thereforo, as existing local laws, and others which the authoritics of Newfouundland may foundiand fisharmen, ndage says, ** What s satea for the gooso is not proposo that all tho sanceshall be served to the Canadians. tribntion, local interests to override international ngreoment, The matter must bo settled without any further quibbling, and thero re- main only abont three weeks in which tg do it. The Amerfcan poopla have now got through with talking, and mean business, e LET HIM BE REINSTATED, ‘When a public man makes two statements tonehing singlo fact, the one flatly contra- dicting tho other, tha conclnsion is irresists iblo that ono of tho statoments is, to put it mildly, nntrne, 'This is the bod that Judge Baxas hins made to & in, so to apeak, rogard- ing the subject of the exclusion of Assistant District-Attorney Trousox from the investi- gation of the Cnstom.Ilonse building frands bolore the Grand Jury.

As Mr, Evantd says: “Tf our fisking floet is snbject to the Hunday laws of Newfoundland, mado for tha const population; if it is excluded from the flshing grounds for half 8 year—October to April; if our ‘soines and athor contrivances’ for catching flsh aro subject to the regula- tions of shis legislation of Newfoundiand, it is not easy to sco what firmm or valuable mens. ure for the priviloge of Art, 18, aa concoded to the United Btates, this Government can promise tota citizens under the guarantee treaty.” With this danger in view, Becretary Evasmi firmly lays down the broad principle that if thero aro to bo any. regulations of common enjoyment they must be authenti. cated by cowmon authority, and not by local legislution looking ouly to the domestie ine terests of ono party. o concedos the point that regulations may be required in the com. .mon iuterest of prosefving the fuheries aud preventing conflicts between fishermen, but contends that the competent authority to wmake such regulationa does not rest with the people of Newfoundlaud, but i & joint con. vention that shall receive the sanction of the English Governmeut and of our own, ‘I'ho situation, therefore, tuny be summed up in thedeclaration * ‘I'hat thoe fishery righta of the United Btates conceded by tho treaty of Washington aro to be exurciswd wholly free from tho restraluts and regulations of the atatutes of Nowfoundland uow sot up as authority over our flshermen, and from any other regulatious of fishing now in force, or that may be horvafter enacted by that Gov- ermaont,” It the Eoglish Government is willing to conceds this point, all will be well, and the award will bo paid; if uot, theaward will not be paid, and the decision of the En. glish "Govermuent will bs considered oy siriking at the ireaty itself, In tuking this position, Becratary Evarts reflects the senti- ments of the people of this country.
