Tae Weaturr.—During yesterday the high barometer moved from Tennessee to the New England and Middle Atlantic States, fol- Jowed by a gencral fall of pressure from the Jakes to the Gulf. The centre of the low barometric area in tho northwest has not moved rapidly eastward, but the area ftself has extended eastward and southward, eausing light rains through the Central Missis- sippi Valley and cloudy or threatening weather ever the lakes. Strong winds attend the north- ‘western depression, and snow has fallen very generally on its margin. In the Gulf the pressure hos also fallen, with tains from the Texas to the Florida coast, The movement of a storm from tho southwest ern Gulf along the const States toward Florida may be looked for during to-day and to-morrow, _ This will probably be followed by the formation of barometric trough on a line generally parallel with the Atlantic const and which will be attended by heavy rains over the southeastern and central coast States. We may also look for the gradual descent of the high pressure from the northwest after the Gepression in that region into the Mississippi Valley aud lake districts, with a good deal of vow. In New York and its vicinity to-day the ‘weather will be warmer and cloudy or partly cloudy, followed by light rains. To-morrow the ‘weather will be cloudy and warm, with south- ‘West winds and rains. For the New England pnd Middle Atlantic coast States the threatening Indications will increase from north to south. NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 30,: 1878—TRIPLE SHEET. : Last Phase of the Fishery Award. ‘This Canadian fishery business gets worse and worse. The despatch of Scoretary Evarts to Minister Welsh, which we print elsewhere, discloses an extraordinary and irritating justification, by the British gov- ernment, of mob violence against our fish- ermen on the const of Newfoundland. We are, it seems, not only required to pay an exorbitant sum for the right to try to catch fish within tho three-mile line, and to re- mit besides several hundred thousand dol- lars worth of duties on Canadian fish every year, but when we have done all this Lord Salisbury calmly tells Mr. Evarts we are not to presume to catch any fish except in such manner and at such times as the Do- minion authorities may graciously permit ; and if our people happen to violate these arbitrary local laws they shall not be brought into court and fairly or unfairly tried, but shall be mobbed, their property destroyed and stolen and they violently driven off What, then, do we buy for our money? We suspect the American public will agree with usin thinking that the protest of Secretary Evarts against this last requisi- tion might well have been even more vigor- ous than it is, Under all the ciroumstances the British Minister's calm justification of the violent destruction by British subjects of the property of American fishermen en- gaged in the clear exercise of their rights under the Treaty of Washington is ex- tremely irritating. In order that it shall not be thought we are using needlessly strong language we will state here as plainly and concisely as possible the whole case:— The Treaty of Washington secures to our fishermen the absolute and unlimited right to catch sea fish of every kind except shellfish. in Canadian waters for twelve years within three miles of the shores, Outside the three-mile line we already had the right freely to fish. The United States agreed in return to admit free of duty Canadian sea fish and fish oil for the same term of years, and, further to submit to arbitration the ques- tion whether and how much we ought to pay in addition. Thereupon the Halifax Fishery Commis- sion was created, and before it the British presented their claim, asserting that we ought to pay them $14,880,000 for the twelve years. To vindicate this claim they presented a bill of particulars, which, as a correspond- ent of the Henzaup explained the other day, unfortunately showed that on their most extreme estimates they could charge us only $3,360,000 for the twelve years, and that, tested by the highest number of our vessels which they claimed to use the fishery and the highest tonnage tax they had ever fixed, they ought to claim only $1,440,000 for the term. The account therefore stands thus:—We remit duties to the amount of $4,091,000 for the twelve years on Canadian fish and fish oil, They are able to show that we should pay them at the utmost only $3,360,000 as damages for the same term. Evidently they would owe us a handsome sum, on their own showing. But as they had asked nearly fifteen millions, and as they were decidedly unwilling to pay us anything, the British set up a claim for ‘‘in- direct damages.” Now indirect damages were summarily turned out of court by the Geneva Commission when they were pre- sented by the United States, and it was thought preposterous in us to have even mentioned such a thing. We accepted that decision, but nevertheless the British ask indirect damages from us, For what? Well, in the first place, for the great benefit it is to us to be able to fish in Canadian waters! ‘Thatis tosay, we pay for the right to catch fish if we can, and then we are to pay over again for the good it does us to catch the fish if we catch any. Taking merely the value of the un- caught fish which we were to be allowed to catch if we could, the British were brought in debt to us, as we have shown above, even on their own statement of facts. So they put in a charge for allowing us to catch them in peace. Here hre the words of the British claim :-— To addition te the advantages above recited the at- tention of the Commissioners is reepectiully drawn to the great importnnce altaching to the neces to the United States of ho r their fshormen full freedom turous calling without incurring cons Xposing themselves and their tallow or ye inevitable reproseh of wilinlly tres trymen to pessing on thi Fighsfat domain ot remy neighbors. to this cor entbon ts the bataninie, how disputes, calcu! avoidance of Irrita the public mind and hable always to become a cause of mu and embaerraesment, ‘The new account, therefore, stands thus:-- We remit in duties on Canadian fish and oil $4,091,000, The English charge us $3,360,000 for the privilege of trying to catch fish in their waters. Balance in our tavor, $731,000. But, they say, ‘We ought to have something handsome for not break- ing the heads and destroying the seines of your fishermen, and you must pay five and a half millions for that, over and above what the account shows we owe you.” Well, on the 6th of January of the pres- ent year a fleet of American fishermen were catching herring om the Newfoundland coast, as was their undoubted right under the treaty; while so engaged they were attacked by a mob of Newfoundland fisher- men, who cut the seines, let ont tho fish and carried away the remnants of the seines of our people. There is no pretence that the Americans were violating the treaty rights, or that they began the disturbance; they had better seines and were catching more fish than the New- foundland men—that is all. Or, rather, it is not all, The attention of the British government having been called to this act of lawless violence, Captain Sulivan, of Her Majesty's ship Sirius, was directed to investigate it, and he reports to his government that the Newfoundland mob were justified, because the Americans were violating a local law of Newfoundland, which he recites, And unless we mis- understand Mr, Evarts’ despatch Lord Salisbury takes the same ground, We have repeatedly and strenuously urged that, no matter how exorbitant and unjust the fishery award might be, we ought to pay it; and we have always un- derstood the intention of Secretary Evarts to be to pay the amount if, after proper representation of the case, the British gov- ernment chose to accept it. But if honor requires us to pay, honor and jystice both require the British government to see to it that our treaty rights are defended ; that we shall not, after a lmge overpay- ment, have to higgle for what is rightly ours; that our fishermen shall not be subjected anew to vexatious and irritating restrictions, when the very object of the arrangement was to finally do sway with all these troubles; and, above all, that our people shall be pro- tected against mob violenca We pay for peace and good will. We have aright at any rate to peace, When our fishermen are mobbed, their property is destroyed and themselves are driven from the fishing grounds, it is the duty of the British gov- ernment, with which, and not with New- foundland, we have a treaty, to see to it that the perpetrators of these outrages are promptly and signally punished, and that a British man-of-war shall, if necessary, protect our fishermen in the exercise of their rights. Congressional Candidates. The political organizationg in New York do not, asa rule, exercise as much judg- ment and good sense in their selection of nominees for Congress.as the importance of the duty demands. The metropolis has a greater interest than any other locality in the United States in the character of our national fegislation, and the entire city representation at Washington ought to be composed of men thoroughly conversant with questions of commerce and finance and fitted by their social standing and mental qualifications tocommand influence at the national capital. No Congressional district in New York ought to be surren- dered to mere politicians, for political issues sink into insignificance when com- pared with the many important subjects of legislation directly affecting the business and prosperity of the commercial metropo- lis, As the nominations are now nearly all complete the people can seo-for whom they are called upon to vote. In the Fifth Congressional district, which isthe first in the city, the contest lies be- tween Nicholas Muller, the present Repre- sentative, and Thomas F. Bourke, who has the anti-Tammany and republican indorse- ments. In the Sixth district the democratic nomination has been again given to Mr, 8. 8. Cox, and his opponent on the anti-Tam- many and republican ‘side is Mr. M. 8 De Vries. In the Seventh district the con- test lies between Anthony Eickhoff, the present Tammany Congressman, and Mr. Thomas J. Creamer, who, although nomi- nated by the greenback party, is likely to be supported by the anti-‘'ammany people, The republicans may, however, put a can- didate of their own in the field. There will bean interesting struggle in the Eighth district between Mr. Lawrence R. Jerome, the democratic nominee, and Anson G. McCook, the republican candi- date and present Congressman. Mr. Jerome has been for many years an active business man in the city, and is familiar with all questions affecting the commercial and financial interests of the metropolis. He would wield an influence at Washington that would be useful to the city, and as he is a vigorous and untiring worker he is very likely to carry the district. In the Ninth district the democrats adhere to’ Fernando Wood, whose experience makes him a _ valuable Representa- tive, while the opposition elements are divided between John Hardy, anti- Tammany, who is popniar in the district, and Wilson Berriman, republican. The fight in the Tenth district will be a spirited one, and. will recall the great Senatorial battle of last year between the late John Morrissey and Tammany Hall. The dis- trict is the home of John Kelly, of Chester A. Arthur, of Augustus Schell and of James O’Brien, so that the giants of the political castles come in contact on that hotly con- tested field. This yoar James O’Brien puts on the armor for the opposition cause, while Orlando B. Potter leads the regular forces, The district is a singular one, embracing the cream of brown stone fronts and the most crowded of tenement houses, so that there is ample room in it for the exercise of political strategy and the prosecution of political labor. In the Eleventh district the entiro opposition to Tammany and to the present Congressman fortunately contres on Mr. Levi P. Morton, who is in every rospect a desirable candidate. It would be well for the city if the Congressional nominees were more generally taken from the class of which Mr. Morton is atype. Our leading merchants and bankers are the sort of men who ought more frequently to represent the interests of the metropolis in the Congress of the United States, and Mr. Morton’s elec- tion will bea public advantage. Mr. B, A. Willis, despite a strong opposition in his own party, is again the Tammany nominee. At the last election his majority in a poll of twenty-five thousand votes was only a little over four hundred. Harvard Accept Yale’s Challenge— Which Will Go tw Engiandt? Harvard's acceptance of Yale's challenge to an eight-oared four-mile straightaway contest not. only settles pretty conclu- sivoly that their annual race hereafter, like that of the English universities, is to be in eights, but also that the proposed contest betwoon Harvard and the winning English eight cannot take place boforo midsummor, as this home race will not come off before June, and probably not till the last woek in it, Yale cannot sit quietly by and see Harvard thus arranging a race with the crack English team when such a match is of necessity based on the idea that Harvard is sure to whip Yale before she crosses the Atlantic. Thero aro seven months and more before Harvard and Yale meet, abun- dant time to make great progress in increas- ing skill, strength and stay at the oar. Har vard’s team had easy work of it this year, which will doubtless make them take things leisurely this winter. But if Yale works with some of the old vigor which in ’64 and '65 took her to the front, and again in ’76, it is by no means cortain that tho little flag on the bow of the eight which crosses the Atlantio in 1879 will not be of dark blue instead of bricht arimaon, The ringing words from Ithaca the other dey possibly indicate that there are likely to be other men on hand to question whether the outgoing crew shall be from Massachu- setts, We like Cornell's pluck. Lord Beaconsficld’s Iliness. England, the Telegram tells us, has been, as well she may be, startled by the news of Lord Beaconsfield having been seized with an attack of Spilepsy, which, it was feared for a little while, might have proved fatal. At last accounts she was somewhat re- assured, but naturally grent anxiety re- mains, A somewhat similar seizure of the Duke of Wellington one evening in the House of Lords with a fainting fit, being the first of a series of attacks to which he finally succumbed, stirred the heart of England at the time with the same alarms, “A great nation,” said the Duke of Welling- ton, ‘‘cannot have a little war.” Neither can a great man, as the Duke of Wellington found and Lord Beaconsfield will find, have a little illness, Tho Duke's fainting fit was magnified into paralysis, he had confusion in the head and he was struck specchless by the reporters, Lord Beaconsfield’s attack has been, we trust, similarly sab. jected to exnggeration, The Duke of Wellington’s was produced by making o crust his soleallowance. Lord Beaconsfield’s was probably created by the same oause, as he generally lives tho life of a severe ascetic. As he is now seventy-four, and this seiznre must be regarded as a warning and the predecessor of other attacks, he will prob- bably—should he recover, as'‘we hope and believe he will—retire from active labors take the position of mentor to the Cabinet without any special office, and intrust the laboring oar, os he himself states he did at the conferences of Berlin, to the Marquis of Salisbury. As the selection in this case would rest with him, Lord Salisbury’s recent services and personal adherence at a moment when the retirement of Lord Derby from the Foreign Office placed Lord Beaconsfield in a perplexed, if not perilous’ position, will obliterate the remembrance of a former retirement and many bitter personal attacks, and outweigh the antipathy of the sovereign and dislike of his colleagues to serve under a Minister of arrogant and imperious will and much bilious acerbity of temper. Lord Salis- bury is a man of large ambition, in which he has been eagerly encouraged and pressed by his brilliant wife, the daughter of the late Baron Alderson, who is to him as was Lady Macbeth to her lord. He has already filled the offices of Secretary of State for India and Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Thane of Glamis, Thane of Cawdor he has been, King he may be. Should Lord Beaconsfield be suddenly carried away, of |. which there is danger by a renewal of this seizure, there will be the same “quarrel over his crown as there was among his generals on the death of Alexander. Sir Stafford Northcote, the present leader of the House of Commons, would be his probable suc- cessor, -He is suave and energetic and offers no personal points of objection. To-day England finds the war fire which threatened, .as she was induced to believe, her Eastern supremacy on the near and western side, no seoner partially quenched than it again shows.sign of flame in the opposite and far eastern direction, and her material interests covered by adark and enlarging cloud. How she is to emerge from her present condition she and appar- ently all her other Ministers seem in igno- rance. Beaconsfield alone knows the secret combination which can open the safe in which her policy forthe future is closely locked. A Marriage in Paris. The fair daughters of our land whose dainty fancies in the matrimonial line do not happen to be realized on this side of the Atlantic seem to cull at their ease among the young lords across the water. Onr cable despatches bring us word from Paris of an alliance between an American young Indy of eighteen springs and 1 German baron of twenty-seven summers. All the “colony” was there. The Ameri- can Minister and Consul General attended. Two ex-Governors of New York were at the ceremony in which the daughter of a New York general was one of the high con+ tracting parties. The wealth and nobility of the bridegroom's family were fitly repre- sented, and we can only add the hope that 80 auspicious a union may prosper. All that was mortal be Cardinal Pant Cullen was Inid to rest yesterday amid the pomp and ceremony which Rome's gor- geous ritual prescribes for the dignitaries of her Church. Our cable despatches de- soribe very fully the scene in the Dublin enthedral at which almost every prelate in Ireland took part, and the later, more simple ceremony when the vault at Holy Cross was closed upon the first Irish cardinal. His death leaves a vacancy in the Sacred Colleze as well as in the prelacy of Ireland, With » Pontiff in the chair of St. Peter os liberal minded, as pious and as devoted to the interosts of the Church as Leo XIIL, it is not likely that the insula sanc- torum will be left without that recognition which the scarlet hat of the cardinalate implies. Whether it will be conferred on the prelate who shall succeed the late Car- dinal in his archdiocese, or be bestowed on tho archiepiscopal see of Armagh, will be an interesting speculation for Irish Catho- fics. What a genuine surprise it would be if the coveted hat wore sent to John MacHalo, the aged Archbishop of Tuam, whom Daniol O'Connell named 60 he: ago “the lion of the fold of Judah.” Place Aux Dames! Now let the politicians beware! A great deal has been heard of late about combi- nations gna compromises, bat to-night there will convene s powerful body, upon political rights intent, amd though it will probably combine certain sets or cliques which in other affairs are not in the habit of working together, there is no such word as “compromise” in the lexicon of cither of its members, Mon may force s laugh at this body, partioularly in advance of its proceedings, but it will be only « spiritless cachinnation—a sound more like an sffrichted howl than am honest leugh : “elude the inevitable trace of she swiftly passing years for the individual members of the organization to which we allude are not given to being moulded by poli- tical necessities, A single one of them is credited by history with having once changed the entire programme of the world’s action; so what can the feeble efforts of Schell or Cooper, Gramercy Park or the Comptroller's office avail against a combination of such beings? The astute layer of political pipe has often a system of personal interchange and control that in extent and influence is absolutely appall- ing, particularly to the opposition, but neither pipe-layer nor wire-puller oan extend his connections as far, as securely or as secretly as do the omnipresent mem- bers of the body alluded to.
