LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Our Fisheries.

Srr,—As your readers are aware, a pro- posal was made recently by the Imperial Government that—pending the appoint- ment of a joint commission —the fishery clauses of the Washington Treaty, without, however, the monetary clause, be again en- dorsed. To this proposition, Secretary Bayard, it appears, has not, yet made a_ re- ply.

Now, it is just possible that Mr. Bayard is under the impression that the fishermen of the Maritime Provinces are anxious to see the Washington Treaty again in force. If so, he is very much mistaken. I speak more particularly with regard to the opin- ions entertained by the tishermen of this Province when I say that there is not a man out of a hundred who would be will- ing to allow the Americans the right to seine within the three mile limit on condi- tion that we be allowed merely the privil- ege of sending our fish into their markets free of duty, No, no, Mr. Bayard and Lord Salisbury. We waut no such a sided arrangement.

If Americans are not willing to give us

and it gives me great pleasure to think that my humble efforts have assisted in placing Souris in such a position.

Be assured gentlemen, that I feel proud to believe that I leave this community with the well wishes of everyone in it, and [do assure you that that kindly feeling publicely express- ed by you is fully reciprocated by me.

In conclusion, gentlemen,I thank you again for your good wishes for my future welfare, and your kind remembrance of my companion in life ; and wherever my future lot may be cast, Souris and her citizems shall have a fore- most place in my memory. And now, in say- ing adieu, I hope that you and yours may continue to prosper socially as well as finan- cially,

Yours truly, James O. Morkow.

Souris, 2nd June 1887.

The Plot Was Found Out. A few days ago a lady moving in good society in Paris, and occupying an apart- iment in one of the most fashionable strcets in the Champs Etysses quarter received the visit of a police ofticial, who informed her that at 11 o'clock that evening she was to be murdered and her house plundered. She laughed at the idea, and the more so when the imspector proceeded to ask her for par- ticulars about her servants. Her butler

more than a free market for fish, we would much rather stick LO the treaty now in force, the treaty of 1818.

Everyone knows that the American seimers are fast dest roying the mackerel fishing ilong this coast. They have already des- troyed their own fisheries, and, if allowed, will most assuredly destroy ours. Better, therefore, to keep them off and pay the $2 . barrel duty, unless they yive us some- thing handsome in return, such as free trade for our horses, potatoes, ete. Ii Americans are to be allowed to kill fish as they may see fit, there will soon be an end to our fisheries ;and_it will be very little bene- fit to us then to have a free market for fish. American purse seining has been a curse to this country. But what do Americans care. If they can’t eatch mackerel by fair means they will get them by foul, and pro- bably the next mode of destruction they will adopt will be by ‘‘dynamite under the sea.

I for one, therefore, am glad that the cruisers are to be on the coast again this season. I trust they may look after Yan- kee poachers,more sharply than ever. Let

these Yankee crafts be kept off in all weather except in downright storms. If they are to vet “‘shelter,” it does not fol- low that they are to be allowed to stay in our harbors in fine weather, so that they may have a chance to steal our fish if an vpportunity offers. Yours, ISLANDER.

Address to Mr Mr. James O. Morrow, one of the lead- ing merchants of eastern King’s County, has lately sold out with the intention of removing to Los Angelos, California, where he purposes going into business again. A number of the leading citizens of Souris, on the 2nd inst., waited on him at his resi- dence, and preserted an address, which, together, with the reply, will be found below :—

ADDRESS. To Mr James O. Morrow.

Deak Srr,—Having learned that it is your intention to leave Souris in a few days to re- side inthe United States, we, the under- signed, avail curselves of this opportunity to express our high regard for you as a most exenplary private eitizen, as well as a worthy and enterprising business man.

The proud position which Souris occupies to- day in being among the foremost centres of trade in the Province, is largely due to the energy and enterprise of its merchant traders, of whom you have been by no means the least active. And while we regret your departure from amongst us, we feel confident that your long business experience, combined with your steady and industrious habits, will insure you the more extensive are about to

increased prosperity in field of trade into which you enter.

Be assured, dear sir, that you carry with you the best wishes of your fellow-townsmen for your future welfare ; and in now bidding you adieu we sincerely hope that the choicest blessings of Heaven may attend you and your amiable compaiiion in life in your new home.

GENTLEMEN AND Fettow-lowNnsmen,—I | very cordially thank you for your kind and ‘flattering address. ‘his mark of your kind- | ness aud esteem gives one more pleasure than ‘I can express. | feel proud to know that such |a large body of my worthy fellow-townsmen | entertain so high an opinion of me as a private | citizen and a business man.

id a centre of trade in this Province, and

had been for many yearsin heremployment, her cook the same and so forth, Her own maid, who had come last, had been eig!it years with her, and thoroughly enjoyed her confidence. Yet, to her amazement, the official explained that this very woman was the ac coniplice of her would-be assassin.

At last the lady was induced to listen to the voice of reason, and measures were ar- ranged accordingly, though she felt con- vinced that there was no ground for alarm. What was her surprise when, punctually at 1l p. m.,after the butler and all the women, excepting the maid, had gone upstairs for the night, a ring was heard at the door The maid opened it, and told her mistress that a man wanted to see her on particular business. The lady replied that she could not see him at that late hour, but the maid returned with the message that the unknown visitor insisted on an interview. **And look, madame she triumphantly ex- claimed, ‘the is coming in.” The man en- tered the room, and was advancing in a threatening attitude toward the lady when the inspector and two policemen, who had been cleverly concealed, pounced upon him and took the burglar and the maid off in their custody.

The officers had been admitted by the lady unknown to the servants a short time before. The plot had been discovered by a policeman on the beat, who overheard a conversation between the burglar and the maid in a neighboring street, and followed the latter to the house. The man was already known to the police as a dangerous ctiminal. But for the accidental discovery the lady would have been murdered with- out anyone interfering in her behalf. The burglar and the servant made a full confes- sion.—-Londou Telegraph.

A Confederate Opinion of Grant's Wilderness Campaiga.

From the Century war papers for June we quote the following: ‘‘When General Grant was appointed to the command of the Union armies and established his head- quarters with the Army of the Potomac, we of the Army of Northern Virginia knew very little about his character and capacity as a commander. Even ‘old army’ officers, who were supposed to know all about any one who had ever been in the army before the war, seemed to know as little as any- body else. The opinion was pretty freely expressed, however, that his Western laurels would wither in the climate of Vir- ginia. His name was associated with Shiloh, where it was believed that he had been outgeneraled and badly beaten by

Albert Sidney Johnston, and = saved by Buell. The capture of Vicksburg and the battle of Chattanooga,

which gave him a brilliant reputation at the North, were believed by the Confederates to be due more tothe weakness of the forces opposed to him and the bad general- ship of their commanders than to any great ability on his part. That he was bold and aggressive, we all knew, but we believed that it was the boldness and aggressiveness that arises from the consciousness of strength, as he had generally managed to fight his battles with the advantage of largely superior numbers. That this policy of torce would be pursued when he took command ia Virginia, we had no doubt; but we were not prepared for the unparal- leled stubbornness and tenacity with which he persisted in his attacks under the fear-

ful losses which this army sustained at the Wilderness and at Spotsylvania. General Grant's method of conduct- ing the campaign was frequently

discussed among the Confederates, and the universal verdict was that he was no strate- gist and that he relied almost entirely upon the brute force of numbers for success. Such a policy is not characteristic of a high order of generalship, and seldom wins un- less the odds are overwhelmingly on the side of the assailant. It failed in this in- stance, as shown by the result .¢ Cold Harbor, which necessitated on entire caange im the pian of campaign, Whata part at jeast of Lis own men thought about General Grant’s methods was shown by the fact that many of the prisoners taken during the campaign complained bitterly of the ‘‘use- less butchery” to which they were subjocted, some going 80 far as to prophesy the destructiou of their army. ‘He fights!’ was the pithy reply of President Lincoln to a deputation of in- tluential politicians who urged his removal from the command of the army. These two words embody perfectly the confeder- ate idea of General Grant at that time. If, as the medieeval chroniclers tell us, Charles Martel (the Hammer) gained that title by a seven days’ continuous battle with the Saracens at Tours, General Grant certainly entitled himself to a like distinction by his
