The Elections and the Political Issue of the Day. The great interest manifested about the eleo- tion in Connecticut to-day shows that the poli- ticians at least are alive to the importance of the political issue before the country. Whether the people, particularly those in remote dis- tricta, yet fully understand the matter has to be seen. The election to-day may throw some light on the question; but we can hardly expect any clear and positive expression of public sentiment before the elections next fall. Great political changes are not made suddenly, and only when the issues are clearly defined and well understood. Up to the meeting of Congress in December scarcely any one imagined there was going to bea conflict between the poliey of the Presi- dent and that of the powerful party which DERBY FINE ARTS anaes 625 Broadway.~Ex- BUMTIONS OF Panerinas, &c.

There could be no restoration without those States were again represented in the national legislature; consequently that was the aim of the Presi- dent—the end for which all his efforts were made. Loyal members of Congress were _chowen, and it was expected they would take their seats. Mr. Johnson, as well as all con- servative, Union-loving men, saw the danger there would be in keeping the country practi- cally disunited and disorganized by not having these States represented in Congress, and he desired the admission of their members with- out unnecessary delay. The people looked forward to this as closing up the rebellion and the war, and as the complete restoration of the Union to its former state. This policy of the President, we say, was universally understood andapproved. No candidate or public speaker during the elections last fall attempted to assail it. The republicans everywhere made it their issue and the text of their speeches. They succeeded upon the platform of Andrew John- son and his policy, because that was the senti- ment of the people. That was just how the matter stood up to the time Congress met in December.

The Present Position of head Question of ment for the preparation of a fleet of fifteen vessels-of-war, including two or three iron- clads, for service in the waters of British North America with a view to difficulties likely in this matter, and to take firm ground on a question involving rights secured to our people by treaty. Ifthe British government shall act on this occasion in the same arrogant spirit that it bas so often displayed against us, the question of the fisheries will complicate the relations of the two countries far more seri- ously than did all the sharp disoussion of the acts of British pirates against our commerce. present on this topic it is necessary to glance hastily at the diplomatic history of the fisheries as between England and the United States. England derives her firat right to the fisheries from the discovery of Newfoundland by Cabot, in 1497, and its colonization by Sir Humphrey finally driven out, not by England, but by Crown. The fisherles were the first New England industry, and in 1775 the Parliament, in the hope to subdue the rebellious spirit in New England, passed a law depriving the in- habitants of that section of their rights in the fisheries. Upon the negotiations for peace in 1783 John Adams positively repudiated the Brit- the fisheries or the limitation of our rights, and made the concession of those rights an ultima- tum. Our rights were therefore broadly, clearly “The people of the United States shall continuo ofSt. Lawrence, and at all other places in the sea where the inhabitants of both countries used at any time heretofore to fish; and also the inhabitants of the United States shall have liberty to take fish of every kind on such part of the coast of Newfoundland as British fisher- men shall use, and also on the coasts, bays and creeks of all other of his Britannic Majesty’s dominions in America.” been stimulated by a desire to lessen the effect of this admission or to avoid it altogether. In that spirit her commissioners brought it up in the negotiations for the peace that followed the war of 1812. They were then eager that we should relinquish the concession of 1783; but we wore so firm in the matter that our commis- sioners were instructed to discontinue the ne- gotiation rather than admit to discussion such relinquishmont. And yet despite this the Brit- ish government maintained thereafter that the mere occurrence of the hostilities of 1812 had abrogated the arrangement of 1783, This dif- ference resulted in a convention on the subject in 1818, by which our rights were considerably limited. It was then agreed that we should not fish within three marine miles of the Brit ish dominions, except in certain specified places NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, APRIL 2, 1866. adjacent, without being restricted to any dis- | ton indignantly agi “Should not our poti- tance from the shore.” .

Neither do we believe that the wrongs of woman, as recapit- ulated by Mrs, Stanton, are calculated to cause @ crasade on her behalf, Mrs, Stanton’s com- plaint is that women constitute “the aristoc- and that “woman holds an ideal posi- tion above man and the work of life,” and that this is “imitating the pomp, heraldry and dis- tinctions of an effete European. civilization.’ Here is just ground, perhaps, for complaint on the part of man; but it ia certainly rather sin- gular for woman to find fhult because we make her an aristocrat and place her above us and will not let her work. Nevertheless, if woman does not like it; if she prefers to havo a ballot in her band “and dignity on her brow;” if she wanis to try her fortunes with the roughs at primary meetings and do her Mrs. Gaudleing on ® grand scale upon the floor of Congress; if she insists upon assisting us in our political canvasses and carrying her knitting or em- broidery into political conventions; if, in short, she is really desirous of figuring on the stump and being recognized as “heir apparent to the throne,” or candidate for the Presidency, why should we object? We have had so many old women in politics and high places that s few young ones would bes decided relief. The people would rather have woman suffrage than negro suffrage any day. .Mayhap the radical Senators, who were 60 willing'to accept Sena- tor Stewart’s bargain of universal amnesty for universal suffrage, will be equally willing to substitute a Woman’s Rights bill for thé Civii Rights bill. If so we will\guarantee them against another veto. What says the chivalric Sumner? What eays the irrepressible Stevens? The project would create many more millions of new voters and be much less dangerous to the republican party. ‘Who will move its adoption? Where is the Reconstruction Com- mittee? Navar. Vicrorny oF Tux CHILFANS OVER THE SpantaRps.—The news we published yesterday from the Pacific shows that the naval victory of Chile and her allies,.on the 7th of February, over the Spaniards, at Abtao, was a much greater affair than reported at first. The allied squadron consisted of the Peruvian frigate Apurimec, thirty guns, Commander Villar; Peruvian corvette America, twelve guns, Com- mander Ferreyro; Peruvian corvette Union, twelve guns, commander Grau; Chilean schooner Covadonga, three guns, Commander Thompson—in all mounting fifty-seven guns. The Spanish vessels were:—Frigate Blanca, thirty-six guns, Commander Topete; frigate Villa de Madrid, fifty guns—in all eighty-six guns. Commander Manuel Villar commanded the allied vessels. The Spanish vessels were commanded by Juan Bautista Topete. The engagement lasted two hours, when the two Spanish frigates were so badly, knocked about that they hauled off and returned to Valparaiso. It is quite evident that Spain has got more on her hands in this war than she expected to have. The allied South American republics are proving too much for her. They show a great deal of pluck and skill; and it is worthy of notice that in the official reports of naval officers we see the names of Williams and Thompson as commanders. These brave fel- lows try to make themselves as much of South Americans as possible by calling themselves Juan Williams and Manuel J. Thompson; but no one will see anything of the “Latin race” in Williams or Thompson. We think we can tell the stock these fellows came from. Spain can- not land a force to conquer or even to injure much the allied republics. The warfare will be on the water chiefly. The allies are at home, and with a small naval force can give the Span- iardsa great deal of trouble. They will become stronger, too, in all probability, in naval power, if the war should continue. Looking at all the circumstances, we are convinced that the sooner Spain gets out of the difficulty and makes peace, the better for both her finances and her honor. Tas Civ, Riouts Bri. Berore tue Sey- att.—The Senate postponed action on the Civil Rights bill, returned to that body by the Pre- sident with his veto, in consequence, pro- fersedly, of the death of Senator Foot. It is un- derstood, however, that the radical majority of that body only wanted a little time to prepare for overslaughing the veto. They got Senator Stockton ont of the way as the first step, and they expecicd to get a radical from New Jersey in his piece. They have been making other preparations and calculations. But they have thus far met with disappointment in New Jer- sey, and it is likely they have miscalculated their chances of success in other respects. Be that as it may, the question is in the order of business to-day, alihough the vote on the question may probably be put off till the end of the week, when we shall know whether the radicals in the Senate ean carry the bill over the President’s veto or not. Should they ancceed in doing this, which is very doubtful, it will be only a temporary and barren victory of & faction. The President will have the satis- faction of knowing he has done his duty to the country. The execution of the law must be in his hands, and he will make it as little objeo- tionable in operation as possible. Ii would not remove the great issue between that faction and the President, but would intensify it more, and mako the people understand it sooner, We ad- vise the politicians not to excite themselves overmuch about the matter, but just to keop as cool as the President is and will be, whether his veto be sustained or not. The time is com- ing, and not far off, when the voice of the | people will be heard on this and oth- a S | wm cently, with the forcible argument of the Presi- dont, has dome something more toward dispeHing the fog; but it will require time. to clear it all away, These politicians continue to ory out it is'all right ; there is no material difference between the declaration “that no man can approve of my policy and that of Congress at the same time.” the minds of the people is giving’ way before stubborn facts, and it will not be long before the issue between the President and Congress, between conservatism and radicalism, between restoration and disorganization, will be fully understood. It is doubtful ff the light has yet reached the r.of Connecticut. The people there, pro- ly, ‘are atilla good deal bewildered, and consequently the election to-dey may not turn upon the great issue that really exists. Thero is, therefore, an unneeessary amount of anxiety about the contest in that State, If the con- servative candidate should be elected Gov- ernor, it will show the people are really be- coming enlightened upon the great question of the day ; if the radical should be elected, it will only prove that they are still befogged. But, as we said, this state of things cannot last long. Between the present time and the elec- tions next fall the whole country will compre- hend the matter. The issue will then be fairly made. The President’s policy of restoration, harmony and union will be endorsed, or we shall be plunged into. such a sea of trouble, view that all governments now take on this subject. The government organ in London al- ready says:—“It is exceedingly doubtful whether it is desirable for any nation to main- tain in these days the policy of excluding any- body from the privilege of ficbing in the sea.” Will England, then, go to war for sueb a policy, when itis Canads that is to profit by the war, and England that is to pay for itt A Britlsh commission lately reported against this policy in case of the fisheries on the British coast, and the freedom of those fisheries is to be extended to France. “ And it is scarcely probable,” says the London Post, “that this country would con- sent to make any great sacrifices to support, several thousand miles away, a principle which it is doing its best to abolish on its own shores.” Such is the view taken in England, and with such a feeble interest in the fisheries it seems hardly possible that the British government will fight to maintain in their favor the most absurd interpretation of a treaty evor put forth. The Woman’s Rights Bill and the Civil Rights Bill. Tho women of America have sense enough to perceive that their time has come. They are determined that- the agitation in Congress about universal suffrage shall not be under- stood to refer to negro suffrage alone. They claim the right to vote, and ina circular, which wo publish in another column, they have called a national convention, to meet at the Church of the Puritans, on Thursday next, in order to direct the attention of Congress and the people to this important subject. All distinctions of color having been abolished, Mesdemes Stan- ton and Anthony now demand the abolition of all distinctions of sex. The negro is not to be excluded from the ballot box on account of his skin, and why should a woman be excluded on account of her petticoats? Groat stress. has been. laid upon the fact that the word slave does not occur in the constitution; but the word woman is also ignored in that ancient and re- spected document, There is not an argument used in favor of negro suffrage which is not quite as potential In favor of woman suffrage. On the other hand, most of the arguments against giving the ballot to the negro. fail to apply to the case of the woman. If negrocs are citizens by right of birth or residence, so are women. If negroes served the country during the recent war, so did women. If ne- groes are born free and equal, so are women. But the accusation of want of intelligence, s0 often urged against the blacks, cannot be made against our fair female friends. Nor can it be said of women, as it is of the negroes, that they will be too much under the influence of the white men, since the contrary is notoriously the case. The time, then, is propitious. We have a Congress ready for any extravagance. Let some radical member present a Woman’s Rights bill, and it will pass more easily than the Civil Rights bill, and be much more accept- able to the people. By way of hints or texts for the addreases to be delivered “by persons to be hereafter an- nounced,” Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s cir- cular places before us a few of the reasons why women, as well as negroes, should be allowed to vote. And let us declare in advanee, lest this conjunction of women and negroes should prove offensive, that the association is suggested by the circular itself, and is, indeed, one of the very strongest points upon which the women of America rely in their appeals to the tyrant, man, for justice and equal rights, In the most logical and irresistible manner they take it for granted that this gov- ernment is a failure, and then explain that this is because our practice has not been according to our principles—that is to eay, because we have not given equal rights to all men, women and negroes. Well, if the government is a fail- ure, we think that the above explanation is about as good as any other. The next step of this sublime argument is very plain. If the governmentis a failure, and if withholding equal rights is the cauzo thereof, then we have only to bestow equal rights in order to make the government @ success. Aud here Mra. Stanton and the other women find fault with Congress, which only proposes to give equal rights to the negroes, Why, that will not remedy the evil. That will not “come one line nearer the republican idea.” The negroes are not “all.” Women, too, must be endowed with those “rights, privileges and immunities” be- fore we can “reconstruct the government on the one enduring basis that has never yet been tried.” There is the whole matter in o nut- shell, as clear as the sky in June and as irrefu- table as the logic of events. It is true that Mrs. Stanton and her lovely assistants did not have space enough in their circular to tell us why this government is a failure, or to prove that the founders of the republic, the originators of our “republican idea,” intended that women and negroes should vote; nor to inform wa how a “basis that has never yet been tried” can be 80 confidently pronounced “the one enduring basis;’ but all these trifling omissions will doubtless be supplied at the convention next Thursday. Mrs. Stanton’s circular reminds us of Calhoun’s speeches, because if you admit its premises yon cannot deny its conclusions, But in this respect ite logic is also not sq very dif- ferent from that of the fam us stanen, femiliar ; the Orders have issued from the Navy Depart- to arise in the fisheries, as a consequence of the recent abrogation of the Reciprocity treaty. Some of these vessels are to sail at once, others are to be held in readiness in case there should bea necessity for the exhibition of greater force. The fact of this naval preparation is important, as it indicates the disposition of the government to be ready for any emergency In order to see exactly where we stand at Gilbert in 1583. They became a subject of fierce contention between England and France and France secured many advantages, but was colonists owing allegiance to the British ish propositions looking to our exclusion from and positively acknowledged in these words:— to enjoy unmolested the right to take fish of every kind on the Grand Bank and on all the other banks of Newfoundland; also in the Gulf England’s acts on this matter have ever since on the southern coast of Newfoundland and Lab- rador. Disputes arose as to the interpretation of this article. Although the Bay of Fundy is sixty miles across, it was held by the English that we could not fish in it under the three mile rule, becanse the coast line must not fol low the coast into such bays, but must be un- derstood as drawn from headland to headland across the mouth of the bay. Under such an outrageous view of the law on one side, of course many digiculties occurred, and in 1852 it was deemed necessary to despatch men-of to tie scene.
