Tho respective rights of British and American citizens in the fisheries on the coasis of the British posses sions on this contivent are to be determined ; and any claims which British citizens have againet this country, arising out of acts com mitted during the late war, are to be consid ered equally with those based upon the depredations of the Alabama and her sister privateers. The particulars of the negotiations which have led to this result will be found in the correspondence between Scerctary Fisit and Minister T0KNTON, printed claewhere, The oamea of the Commissioners to be appoi on the part of the United States have alroady been sent to the Senate by the President They are Secretary Fisi, Min'ster Scimsex, Judge Newson, ex-Atttorney-General Hoan, and Senator Witttams. The Commission. ers on the part of Great Britain are Earl De Grey, Sir Epwanv Tuornton, Minister to Washington, Sir Jon A. Mc Donavon, and Sir Jonn Rose. The last two are from Canad a © Negroes and the Fenirns. The cordiality with which Gen. Wiittast M. Tween, JR., invited our colored citizens to join the procession in honor of the released Fenian captives will be regarded in many quarters as practically determining the re sult of the next Presidential election. When the one million and a half, more or less of voters of African descent unite with the many millions of voters of Hibernian origin tm eupport of the Democratic candidate in 1872, the Republican party will give itself up as rast all surge ‘Thos vpening of their ranks, under such saspicious circumstances, for the reception of the colored element, was a bold stroke of policy on the part of the Tammany man agers. it chows how much shrewder poli ticlans they are than Gen, Grant, who is pureuing a course in the South which has driven away from the Republican party just enough of the negro voters to throw it into © minority in nearly all the former slave holding States. The Democracy of this city were too skil- (ul tacticians not to take advantage of this Ddiunder of their opponents, and break through the weak points in their line of bat tle. Great credit is due to Gen. Tween for initiating and boldly executing this sharp flank movement in the presence of the enemy, by which he has captured and brought within his own lines a powerful section of their forces, and henveforward will treat them not as prisoners of war, but as allics in the fight We by no means intend to say that the appearance of leading representatives of our eolored citizens in the Fenian procession is a elear indication that all the negroes in the country are thereby committed to the sup- port of the Democratic nominee for the Presi dency next year, for that will doubtless de pend somewhat upon the character of the tandidate. But it shows the drift of the ti as Why Increase the Expenses of the Berlin Mission t NT advises Congress to in trease the naluries of the Minister and of the Becretary of Legation at Berlin to the samc amounts respectively as are allowed to the Ministers and Secretaries at Loudon and Paris, As the Ministers at these last-men tioned places now receive $17,500 cach, and their Becretaries of Legation $2,625 each, while the Minister at Berlin receives but $12,000, and his Secretary of Legation $1,800 the increase proposed would amount to $6,825 in gold. The reason given by the President for making this addition to the expenses of the Berlin mission, is the recent increase in power and importance of tho States com posing the German Confederation, of which Berlin is the capital, ‘his is about ag sensi ble a8 making one's neighbor's recent pros perity in business the ground of adding to the expense of one's own household. So far as respect to the German people is toneerned, we have done long ago that diplomatic etiquette could porsibly tequire, Our mission at Berlin is of the first class— the same as those at London and Paris and our Minister is styled, like those at Foodon and Paris, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary. What salary we poy him is « matter with which the Germans have nothing to do, It makes no difference to them whether he gets much or little, ao Jong a# he behaves himself creditably, It may be asked why, if the mimion st Borlin be the game in rank as thowe at Lon President Gx. don and Paris, the salaries of its Minister and Secretary of Legation should not be the same in amount. .Tho answer is, that whon the expenses of the three missions were fixed hy act of Congress, the cost of living at London and Paris was 80 much greater than at Ber- in, that an additional sllowance wos thought to be necessary, Neither the President nor Mr. Bancnorr has suggested that any change ia desirable on this account, and, for aught that appears, this extra $6 tirely unnecessary, If the President understood and desired to carry out the will of the people in this matter, he would recommend the abheli not only of the Berlin mission, but of all our ‘ra missions in a lump.

To the Bditor of the New York Temas In your journal of this day you copy from an anonymous pamphlet «paragraph which, in legal effect and intendment, amounts to a charge that corrupt arrangements exist be- tweon myself and certain Judges of the Supteme Court, and that I have been the recipient of bribes to influcuce the course of the New York Sux. Both these charges are, in letter and substance, in the whole and in every part, untrue; and they are atro. ciously libelous, In my own judgment, and, I think, in the judgment of all fair minded men, the fact that they had before been printed, anovymously, affords no justi fication or excuse to you for publishing them. It in alleged, substantially, thot I havo “amassed a fortune” out of references, re ceiverships, and stroct openings.

T have seen Judge BanNanp in public and in private. Inever heard him, anywhere or at any time, uiter a sentiment which would have been editable to Chief Justice MARSHALL, I know that people declaim against him; but I have nover seen any ching wrong about him. I never heard him hold any langnage to any lawyer—he cor tainly never held any to me—which did not indicate, on his part, the highest standard of judicial integrity. I have heard him praiee as highly as I have ever spoken of him, by the most distinguished Republican who has ever been upon the bench of the Court of Appeals, and by a Judge in my opinion the ablest pow upon the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States.
