Secretary of the Treasury, has already, with the bench not full, given the opinion of the Court in the negative on the first question ; and it is probable that he is of the same mind in regard to the second; but we shall see. The Pope und the Peoples Against 1 Radical “Reds” and Politicians. The special correspondence from Rome which appears in our columns to-day continues the Hzeatp narrative of the progress of events in the Holy City to the 28th of March. It is ‘an interesting detail, yet sad withal. The ‘struggle between the rights of the Christian world, as they are expressed and defended by the Church, and the pretensions of the politi- ‘cians of Italy, as they are presented by the ‘Cabinet of King Victor Emmanuel, is main- tained. The conflict is unseemly, This is evidenced by the almost everyday occurrence of petty, paltry, earthly little quibbles con- ‘cerning etiquette, property claims and the pos- session of the things which ‘“‘fade away.” Pope Pius the Ninth moves from the Vatican through the city. It is alloged that his Holi- ness has been out in disguise, noting the changes which have taken place. America, Engiand and Germany send words of comfort to the Pontiff—a most remarkable confirmation of the assertion that the human mind is nato- rally generous, and that man is kind by impulsion when he is left to the free expression of his feelings unwarped by the machinations and demoralizations of politicians and place hunters. Italy desires to loot the property ‘‘spoils” which have accumulated at the Catholic centre from offerings of the faithful during very many cen- turies. The First Napoleon desired the same thing. The great French soldier accomplished his purpose. A stranger government found him a solitary grave. He took nothing with him. The ‘gold and the silver” of the temple remained after him. The tapers of the Church were, when all was ended, used to light the gloom of the tomb at St. Helena, through the charitable absolution ef the clergy of Rome. The venerable father of the present head of the House of Savoy experienced the consola- tion from the same source in his lifetime. Prince Frederick of Hesse, brother-in-law of Prince Frederick Charles of Prussia, was in Rome. The arrival of the British delegation which is to speak on behalf of the Catholics of England—a brilliant representation of high lineage and great fame—was expected in the Holy City momentarily, so that our special letter from Rome is quite interesting at all points, not to say exciting, in its contents. Tae Coat TROUBLES IN PENNSYLYANIA.— The Board of Arbitration, in session at Mauch Chunk, Pa., to adjust the difficulties existing between the coal miners and operators, it is feared will prove a total failure. This unfor- tanate result is attributable to the indulgence of the ill-feelings which have characterized the struggle from the beginning, and the refusal ofboth parties to yield a single point in dis- pute. Passion and prejudice, rather than calm deliberation and wise counsels, appear to have governed the assembly, and, asa consequence, no compromise can be agreed upon, and the strike continues, with no pros- pect of an early termination. Mork PREsipENTIAL NoMINATIONS.—The Annapolis (Md.) Gazette nomivates General Grant for re-election, and the Columbia (Pa.) Courant names Horace Greeley. The only objection to Brother Greeley seems to be, according to our radical exchanges, that he is too honest. Hear him recite the California story of “Yuba Dam” when election returns like those of the late New Hampshire election are coming in, and then judge his standard of honesty by his calibre for blasphemy. The inference is obvious. Senator Creamer has introduced a bill interfering with the timely efforts of the Board of Health to remove all dumping grounds from thecity, He proposes to prohibit the Board from removing Kane's manure dumping ground on Thirty-eighth street during the summer, but if he is not careful Senator Creamer will find that the manure dumping ground will prove the last political dungiill upon which he will ever fight. A Neranporty Contemporary says the Baptist papers of New York are still much agitated on the subject of State donations for sectarian purposes. Is there anything strange that our good friends the Baptists should be concerned upon so prominent a Scriptural as “Dives”—into the public treasury ? Wrxaxs’ Forrnoomina Appress to the people is likely to make some of his late republican associates squirm. Some of those who signed the pledge will probably not have the courage to look upon Winans when it is read. Tue Kansas Tribune says Senator Morton's quarters in Washington are the Mecca of West- ern radical politicians. Is there not something ominons in declaring that the headquarters of any political body are un mort? Personal Intelligence.

Prince Bismarck in a note to the Versailles gov- ernment admits the right of Marshal MacMahon to occupy with French troops the ground around Paris made neutral by the stipulations of the pre- liminary treaty of peace. BISMARCK'S OPINIONS. General Pope (?y commanding the first division of the Prussian army at St. Denis, stated on Mon- day that Bismarck’s reported threat to interfere by the 28a is unfounded. MacMahon’s troops have not advanced beyond Colombes, except to @ redoubt occupied last night by two hundred men, All beyond were stragglers. He admits MeMabon haga right to enter between the Prussian outposts and the enceinte, This ar- Tangement with the government was made before the revolution.

Settlement of the Fishery Questions. A Reciprocal Grant of Privileges to the Fish- ‘ ermen of Both Countries. The Basis Agreed Upon by the High Commission. WASHINGTON, April 18, 1871, It ig understood that the Joint High Commission, having already arranged the Alabama question so far as to have agreed upona protocol, the substan. tial points of which were published in last Satur- day’s issue of the HkRALD, have to-day practically concluded their discussions of the merits of THE FISHERY QUBSTION, and have prepared a protocol for the adjustment of the fisheries upon a basis of reciprocity, and which ig now nearly in shape to be signed. This protocol, it 1s sald, consists of four articies, which are aub- stantially as foliows:— First—The British government agrees to allow fishermen of the United States to fish on the coasts of Canada, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundiand and Prince Edward’s Island without regard to distance from the shore, and such fisher- men shall have te privilege of using the shores of the coast above named, other than private property, for the purpose of curing fish, drying nets and other necessary matters of that nature. This provision, however, does not appy to shad or salmon fishing, or to fishing of any kind in rivers, inlets, &c. Second—British or Canadian fishermen shall have the right to fish on the coast of the United States north of latitude thirty-nine, and shall have tho same privileges on shore as those granted in the first article to American fishermen on the shores of the coasts of the British North American posses+ sions. This proviston, however, does not apply to the catching of shad, salmon or shellfish. Third—There shall be appointed by the President of the United States, with the consent of the Senate, and by the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, each one member of a commission of arbitrament, and by the two ligh contracting parues jointly a third member of such commission, or, in case the high contracting parties cannot agree on the third member, then the third mem- ber shall be appointed by the Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary. Any vacancies that may occur in such commission after it is organized shall be filled in the same manner as the original appointment. This commission shall meet at Hall- fax, Nova Scotia, as soon as possible after it shall have been appointed, and shall bé charged with the duty of deciding as to the relative value the privileges conferred upon the citizens of both countries, respectively, under the provisions of the first and second articles, and 1, In the judgment of the Commission, it 1s found Uhat either of the high contracting parties receives greater benefit than the other, the party so bene- fited shall pay such sum of moncy to the other party as the Commission of Arbitrament shall ad- jndge to be equitable, such payment to be made within two years. This Commission of Arbitrament shall have two secretaries, one to be appointed by each of the high contracting parties, and provision is made for the Joint payment of its expenses, Fourth—This article provides that this convention shall take effect within six montns after its ratifl- cation by the Senate of the United States, the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland and the Parliament of the Dominion of Canada, and shall continue in full force and effect for a term of years which has yet to be finally Axed by the Joint High Commission. Such, It is said, is the basis upon which tt is pro- posed to adjust the dshery question. of W2ATHER REPORT. War Depart’ OFFICE OF THE CHIEF SIGNAL OFFICER, WASHINGTON. D. C., April 13, 1871. Synopsis for the Past Twenty-four Hours. The barometer continues to rise on the California coast with average clear weather. The barometric distarbance Indicated on Monday evening as exist ing at the Rocky Mountain stations has developed during the day, and probably is now central, west of lowa.

The weather has remained sensibly un- changed, with @ silght fall in the barometer on the Guif and Atlantic coasts, Probabilities, It is probable that the storm will move southward, and be severely feit to-night and on Wednesday on the lakes and southward to the Gulf States. Cloudy weather and easterly winds will probably be ex. perlenced on the Atlantic coast. BUQNING OF A HOTEL—TWO MCN REPORTED KILLED, SALESBURY, IIL, April 18, 1871.

THE COAL Meeting of the Board of Arbitra- tors at Mauch Chack. The Objects of the Mosting—Questious to be Ad- justed—Operators Refuse to Permit Any In- terferenos in the Control of the Mines— Rates of Wages Proposed by Both Parties—Ill Feeling Between the Operators and Miners— The Breach Widening—No Pro- bability of Adjustment. Mavon Cuunx«, April 1871. Asa Packer furnished @ special train for Judge El- well, the umpire unanimously selected by both miners and operators. He arrived this morning at ten o'clock. The Judge is a native of this State, and presiding Judge of the district comprised by the counties of Columbia, Sullivan and Northum- berland. He 18 best known for his strict integrity, impartiality and profound knowledge of his pro- feasion. ‘The meeting was called to order at eleven o’clock, and Judge Eiwell introduced to the Arbitrators, Mr. George W. Cole, president of the meeting, then in- formed tne gentlemen on both sides that Mr. Elwell wonld listen to them. Mr. CLARK, of the operators, arose and stated for the information of the umpire that the operators met hero by invitation of the miners, agree- able to @ notice published in the press to arbitrate the questions that come up in connection with the present troubles, He sald the operators came here fully empowered to negotiate differences between their constituents by their ac- tion, and he would like to know if the delegates of of the miners were as fully empowerea to act for their constituents. He noticed that some of the delegates from the upper counties were not present, and would like to know if it arose from a misun- derstanaing, or from the fact that the mmers of the upper counties would not arbitrate, Let us under- stand how we are situated at the start. Mr. KELLY, Pregident of the Miners’ Union, said— Mr. T. B. Gowen has said this is not a question of wages. We think there is no question of a control of the mines. We will concede that. We wish to meet the operatives in a concilitory manner, and hear what they have to advance. Tho PResipeNt—Mr, Clark, 18 that an answer to your question? Mr, CLAkK—If there is not a question of wages or @ question of the control of the mines, what is the uipire here for? Mr. WALLIS, a miner of the Lehigh reg on, said:— If the question of wages is exempted 1 am empow- ered Lo go as fur a3 auy other delegate; uf not, Lam instructed vo withdraw froim the board, Hr, CLARK—I said that I did not belleve there Would be any question of wages in the Lemgh region. In regard to Mr. Gowen saying that Wages Was not the question [ cannot belleve that he intended to convey such an im- pression, or that the operators are disposed to surrender in this manner. I would say, 1 regard to interference, that some times there are three or four men to work in the mimes who do not belong to the W. B.A. The W. &. A. will not work with them. Work ceases, and the mine is idle. Is this hot @ control of the mines? Another thing is tils:—It sometimes occurs that during sus- pension some little work must be done about the mine, such as pumping, &c, &c Some of the old miners, who appreciate whai their emdloyers are losing, go to work and keep the waier out of the mine and do other little odd jons. So svon as resumptioa has been in progress a few days & notice Is received that these men have broken the laws of tue Workingmen’s Benevolent Associa- tion, and mast be discharged. Mr. President, if that great operator does not stand by these men, be 4s devold of the commou attributes of humanity. Judge ELWELL—Gentiemen, when I am in court it 1s usual 10 have some points on which to decide, lam unable, from the debate, to see what points I am to consider. { had better retire until you reduce the pomts to writig. SING replied—Mr. President, we are here on the defensive. Lassume that the operators have their pomts made up. We will mect these questions, one by one, that our unpractised brains may not be muddled. Mr. BORDA— We have two poluts: they are wages aid ule control of tue mines, Mr. Prepare your proposition; we are here discuss it, and are prepared to meet the matter ily. 1 ad your oder ernanating from Philadelphia February 23, Mr. Clark aud his confreres then retired aad drew up the following proposition, being a paragraph from a recent proclamation from Governor Geary, dated April 9 1s71. It reads as follows: That itis unlawful for any person, or association of per- sons, by violeuce, threats or other coersive means, to pre- vent any laborers or miners from working when they pleas hom they poate and at such wages ua they please, an alike unlawful by such violence or threats to deter or pre- vent the owners or operators of mines fiom employing whomaoover they may choose to employ and at such wages as nay oe ‘agreed upon between the employer and the person emp! Mr. Ciark asked that the above paragraph be ac- cepted as a basis to govern the operations of tne col- liieries in the future, Adjourned to two o'clock in the afternoon, Afternoon Session. Mr. CLARK read a paper from the operators on tho above paragraph, welch gave their translation of ofthe above paragraph. It said:—Wo regard the following acts as being coersive, according to the abovo article. First—The refusal to work because men do not pay the r dues to the Union. ‘Sievnd—The rettisai'to work in order that operators may be led to take back men who have been discharged, or to discharge men who have previously been employed at any other colliery. d—Tho refusal to work when men not belonging to the inion are employed. Fou th—The atiernpt to regulate or annul contracts after the saine are made between the employers and workmen being a coereive measure, al contracta 90 made shall not be Subject to the fnterference, suppression or action of any conmittes or association. Fifth—The operatora agree for any lawful or properly authorized oilicial action as member or officer of the W. B. A. and when a man fei charged or quits work he must take out his tools and | the place open for any man whom the operators choose to ploy in his place, ‘The question of wa; operators, through oiter:— it no man aball be discharged fe3 was then advanced. The ir. Clark, made the following ‘That tho Schuylkill region oTer to the mon of thefr region for the year 1871 the #2 last, slidivg up and or decline every basis, as agreed upon in November down ai the rate of one per cent upon wages and — contract three cents advance or decline t Port Carbon; provided, that the men 81 ida a bigher rate. under this basis, than they would be entitled to when coal is $3 per ton at Port Carbon, until all the regions go to work.

Since yesterday the people have becn earnestly canvassing the position now sustained by the com- panies and the miners, and it seems as if public sentiment is settling more strongly than ever ayainst the former. It was expected that the proposition of the miners would be rejected, but it was hoped that the corporations would make a more liberal offer than has accompanied the rejection. ‘To show why the claim for more magnanimity on the part or the companies ts made, tt may be neces- sary to bring forward a little private history con- nected with the coal troubles which nas not been heretofore made public. Last seasou was @& pecuiiarly trying one to the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company. The drougut caused much em- barrassment in the shipinent of coal by canal, and for along time in the summer, when the carrying trade should have been the highest, the water Was so low that boats couid not pass at all. Then when there was suailciency of water bad breaks in the banks of the canal occurred, en- tatling additional delay and much expense. In con- sequence of these drawbacks in transportation coal accumulated at Honesdale to a large quanuty— some say nearly a million of tons. The reports vary from five hundred thousand to eight hundred thous- ana tons. About the timo for closing canal navigation say along In November, Mr. faomas Dickson, Presi- dent of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, approached the other great companies in thw county with & proposition to reduce wages, As the corporations loved the Miners’ Union with equal fervor the was gladly entertained and upon. As {8 already a matter of history, the reduction was really unprecedented Io the coai trade and carried With it the suspicion that it was a concocted plan on tue part of tho monopolists to force the men to strike, and the manner in which they hoid out now and refuse to show anything like a disposition to treat the men like inen not only strengthens that suspicion, but teads to a supposi- tion that they Nave some other sinister object in view. However that may he events, crowding fast upon each other, will soon develope. The tree is known by Its frait, and the designs of the coal con- spirators can only be judged of by the ede cts 80 far produced, The miners held another meeting to-day, and full and earnest discussion of the situation was had. The proceedings were secret, bat enough has leaked out to show that the miners do not scare any better than they starve.
