The question of the fisheries involves the possibility of war between Great Britain and the United States. We should not forget this fact, though the circumstances of the times tend to concentrate public attention on another quarter. We have our thoughts so fixed on Mexico, there is so much of discussion and rumor relative to that unforiunite republic, we have 80 made up our minds that any fresh rupture of our national peace must necessarily come by way of the Rio Grande, that Wwe are likely to neglect the indications of trouble elsewhere, But we should remember that nations, like mon, are sometimes taken una- wares through such a concentration of thought that the quarter which seoms ‘to threaten most is frequently least troublesome, and that President of a republic which still lives, and which we are bound to prevent going down under a European usurpation. This is the diplomatic fff¥erpretation of Mr. Seward’s bril- liant social entertainment to Madame Juarez. It will be so received by Louis Napoleon, and the presence ‘of the Russian Minister among the guests will also be understood at the Tuile- ries as a matter of the gravest political import in reference to the future policy of Russia in both hemispheres. From the correspondence of last year, be- tween Mr. Seward and M. Druyn de Lhuys, the Mexican ultimatum of President Johnson was broadly intimated to be, not the withdrawal of the French troops, but the withdrawal of the French usurpation. To this ultimatum, it is evident, President Johnson still adheres, and we have not the remotest idea that he contem- called and éxamined, as were also other witnesses, who testified to efforts which they declared had been made in this clty to purchase steamers for war purposes for the Chilean governmont, Judge Betts will rosume fur- ther inquiry into the matter this:morning. An action against Police Superintendent Kennedy for the detontion of horse and wagon, the property of Mr. Ellis N. Crow, was tried yesterday in the Sypreme Court, Circuit, Part 2, before Judge Mason. It appears that the horse and wagon wero lent toa man named Brannigan, who was afierwards arrested on suspicion of stealing, and, with tho horse and wagon, held by the police, The Judge directed the jury to return a verdict for the defendant, on the ground that the property was not proved ever to have been in the possession of the Superiutendent, but was held by the Property Clerk at- tached to Police Headquarters.

We will undertake to say that no sensible man can attentively peruse the few State papers promulgated by President Johnson since his accession’ to office without realizing the fact that we have never had a Chief Magis- trate less likely to usurp doubtful powers, and more willing to surrender all chances of personal and political aggran- dizement to his strict sense of duty, of justice and of honor.

The conduct of the President has been consistent from the very first, in small matters as well as in great. A number of persons in this city purchased: a car- riage and a pair of horses and offered them |,to him, but he refused to accept them. Why? Other officials, other Presidents, had accepted such gifts. No one would probably have cei- sured him had he done the same. But he could _not reconcile this conduct with his idoas of right, and the whole country commended his course. Summer came; the White House was very unhealthy; many friends advised the Pre- sident to retire to the Soldiers’ Home, a publio building in a salubrious location near Wash- ington. Again President Johnson refused. Why? Other Presidents had occupied that bailding, and not a word would have been uttered against him had he chosen to remove thither. But he knew that the President had no right to occupy # public edifice designed for other uses, and he preferred to ran the risk of the miasma rather than violate bis con- science. These may be considered small mat- ters; but they are the exponents of great prin- ciples. We mention them, not to cast any un- kind reflections upon those of President Joha- son’s predecessors who thought and felt and acted otherwise, but simply to show the sin- cerlty of the character and the consis- tency of the conduct of this Chief Magistrate. When he comes to deal with great issues it is in precisely the same way. United States held in 1852 antagonistic and } irreconcilable views as to the interpretation of atreaty. Both were inclined to insist, and the fishermen, variously affected by the interpreta- tion, were excited and disposed to extreme acis, Collision was imminent,’ and from the first collision the two great maritime nations of modern times would have drifted into a disastrous war over a discussion on the right to catch codfish, « Such a calamity was averted by the adoption of the Reciprocity treaty, which established the rights of our fishermen on a basis satisfactory to both nations. Bui the Canaflians, by their outrageous acts during the srecent war, made necessary the abrogation of that treaty, and thus the two peoples are thrown into the state of uncertainty and danger that preeeded its adoption. We claim that we are entitled by treaty to the right to fish at any point within three marine miles of the shore, and the British claim that, in de- fiance of their treaty, there are points at which we must keep sixiy, eighty or perhaps a hut {miles from the shore; and they base their pretence on the absurdity that the coast line ofa country does not in all cases follow the coast, but must in some cases be understood as following an imaginary line drawn across the water. Thus, by drawing such a line from headland to headland of the Bay of Fundy, they would shut our fishermen out of that sea. We have repudiated the British interpretation, and the most obtuse notion of national honor would seem to require that we should not re- cede from the position we have taken on 80 clear a case. The present attitude of our gov- ernment and its naval preparation indicate that it intenda, however it may disouas the tion and a constitution aud bylaws for its goverument, The eighteenth session of the New York annual Con- ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church (East) con- veued yesterday morning in the Washington street church, Brooklyn, Bishop Scott presiding.

But Napoleon, by turning back to his illustrious predecessor in the government of France, Louis the Fourteenth, will find that he recognized and supported James the Second as the rightful king of England, even after his expulsion by the will and action of the English people them- selves. Much more justly, then, even if driven into the United States, may we still adhere to the government of daarez against a foreign usurpation as offensive to the people of the country most concerned as was the altempted subjugation of the Netherlands by Spain, and almost as offensive to the people of the United States. It is certain that, Juarez or no Juarez, Maxi- milian can have no peace in Mexico without a recognition from the United States, and it is equally certain that this recognition fs out of the question.

At the close of the war between the United States and Mexico, General Scott, while still in occupation of the Mexican capital, had an offer made him involv- ing the transfer of all that country to his gov- ernment. He declined it, for the reason,as he said, that he did not like the mixing of those mongrels with the American people. We think he was too fastidious, and lost a fine opportuni- ty for the permanent pacification of Mexico and our Southern States besides. But, as events ‘have since transpired, the people of the United States have no longer any desire for the ab- sorption of Mexico.

Some rad- ical organs spitefully refer to Mr. Johnson as “an accidental President.” He is more truly a providential President, He comes to carry us back to the early days, the simple manners, the sturdy honesty, the purer public morals of the republic. During the war we had beem carried too far towards a military despotism. By the exigencies of the times our laws were Uberally construed, our President was invested. with imperial prerogatives, our Congress was made omnipotent. Those exigencies passed and peace restored, we may gratefully thank Heaven that we have now a President who can divest himself and his office of these extra- ordinary powers; who can insist that other officials shall again conform to the most rigid interpretations of their duties; who cam voluntarily restore to the people the rights and privileges of which they were tem- porarily deprived for a certain definite object, now fally accomplished, and who oan refuse te ‘accept new opportunities for personal and po- litical t, even when Congress presses them upon him, as in the Fteedmen’s Ba- reau and ‘the Civil Rights bills, Few men are 6o truly great; few republics have been blessed with such a President. That our ‘politicians cannot comprehend and appreciste his motives is not singular; for their characteristics aro en- tirely oppodite, and his conduct is a constant and stinging rebuke to their corruption and rapacity. But Andrew Johnson has graven his fame upon the hearts of the people, and there he will find his full recognition and reward. Emmoration anp Prorecrion.—There is a great cry raised now and then about the necessity of protecting~Amerioan manufac- tures, and the representatives of various manufacturing interests aré continually putting in their claims for protection in behalf of this, that and the other branch’ of trade. Now this question of protection is being settled by the vast increase of immigration. From all parts of the world we are receiving et the rate of about five thousand a month skilled laborers and mechanics from the factories of England, France and Germany. Thus wo are importing the protective tariff we want, With the expericnce of these classes and an enterprising investment of capital we will be able not alone to protect our manufacturing interests, but to compete with foreign manufacturers in quality and cheapness, This is the proper kind of pro- tection, for it will benefit the whole country, and not the interests merely of a fow clamor ous monopolists.
