asuixgtox, October 29. The State
Department publishes the correspondence
with the British Government, relatine- to
he outrages committed upon the Ameri
can fishermen in Fortune Bay. Newfound-
and,- in January last. Secretary Evarts
requests Minister Welsh to say to Lord
Salisoury-that this Government cannot but
express its entire dissent from the view
taken by Her Majesty's Government, that
our fishermen are subiect to the local re
gulations, which goe!rn the coait popula
tion of Newfoundland" in their fishing in
dustry, whatever those regulations may be,
and whether enacted before or siuce the
Treaty of "Washington. Thi3 Goyernment
conceives that the fishery rights of the
United States conceded by the Treaty of
Washington, are to be exercised wholly
free from the restraints and regulations of
the statutes of Newfoundland, now set up
in authority over our fishermen; - and from
an v other regulations of fishing now in
breeder, that may hereafter be enaccted by
that Government.
Secretary Evarts further writes: "So
grave a question in its bearing upon the
obligation of this Government under the
treaty , makes it necessary that the Presi
dent should ask from Her Majesty's Gov
ernment a frank aVowal or disavowal of
he paramount authority of provincial leg
islation to regulate the enjoyment of our
people of the inshore fishery, which seems
to be so mtimatedf not asserted in Lord
Salisbury's note. Before the receipt ;of a
reply from Her Majesty's Government, it
would be premature to'consider what would
be the course ot this Government, should
the limitation upon the treaty privileges of
the United States be insisted upon by the
British Government as their construction

dignity. His charges to the grand jury
are able and learned, and he would well

On Friday last James II. Harris, col.,
the so-called regular candidate for Congress
in this District, J. Williams Thorne, the
Independent Greenback candidate, and
jco. T. Wossom, a colored lawyer from
Goldsboro, representing O'Hara, who still
continues in the race, spoke here to a' rath
er small crowd of blacks, and it was an oc
casion loug to be remembered by all who
were present. Wossom said it was a . wash
ing of Republicans linen which we may
know was rather dirty. Harris lead off in
a speech of more than an hour, claiming to
)e the regular nominee, and reading letters
rom the State Executive Committee and
National Committee, . declaring him to be
the . regular candidate. He was pretty
severe on O'Hara, charging that he was
ineligible being a bigamist. This was his
only charge against O'Hara, and he stated
if this charge could be cleared up he would
retire from the contest. He is a speaker.
Wossom followed, and for about two hours
fully ventilated Harris' character, The
Fraud Commission was quoted from very
freely, and O'Hara was held up to the ne
groes as the regular nominee
Wossom spoke till dark, when the meet-
iug adjourned and met at seven o'clock at
night, when IJarve, Harris, and Wossom,
all had a say. It was a weak, ludicrous
performance, and if all the white Republi
cans in the District Convention had been
present, I think Kitchin would be sure to
receive their support
The negroes here are pretty evenly di
vided,, but I am of opinion a majority will
Aote for O'Hara, though I think the negro
vote in the district will be very much split
up ; so you see if the Deinocrate will do
their duty Kitchen will be elected. The
only danger is in the apathy of the Demo
crats. I fear they are not alive to the im
portance of the struggle, and I hope you
will continue to urge upon them the ne
cessity of a more active campaign and
more vigorous work for our cause. It would
be a great victory to elect Capt K. It
can be done by proper effort

New York City Politics.

New York politics are very strange.
They are only excelled in purity by those
of Pennsylvania. For the last, week we
have been reading the New York, dailies
and it is hard to form an opinion as to who is
the best man for the mayoralty of Gotham.
The; .-contest uowf going on for the office.
which is nearly as important as that of
President of the United States, and dis
burses quite as much money,' is narrowed
down to two, Augustus Schell, the Tam
many nominee, and Mr. Ldwaxd Cooper.
the nominee of all the opposition to Tam
many. Mr. Cooper was, up to six months
air 3, himself an ardent Tammany man, and
now' he; is the head and front of the organ-
TTTTTlftTl
pity the . Democracy of the great city of
New York cannot be united, for ever vote
given for the anti-Tammany ticket is prac
tically a vote for Conk ling for the senate.
The Tammany ticket is. the regular Dem
ocratic ticket and should carry New York
by a large majority.
Edison's latest? is a talking tnachine,
which competent authorities pronounced

articulate distinctly until about two years

Change in a Important Paper.
Our esteemed co temporary, the Raleigh
Christian Advocate, will, we learn, change
hands on November 1st the present editor
and proprietor, the Rev. Dr. J. B. Bobbitt
having sold it to the Revs. W. S. Black
and Frank L. Reid. Under Dr. Bobbin's
efficient management, the Advocate has
been a pecuniary success. It will, we are
sure, not be allowed to deseriorite in the
hands of the new editors and proprietors.
The Postal Service-A Xew Source or
. Revenue.
The postal service of Great Britain is
not only self-supporting, but returns annu
ally a very large surplus of revenue to the
exchequer.. Its prosperity dates, in the
main, from the adoption of the penny post
age system, as proposed by Rowland Hill.
It has since added to the duties of the de
partment the registration of letters and of.
valuable parcels on the payment of an ex
tra fee, and also postage savings banks.
The concentration of population over a
comparatively small area enables the de-l
partment to be economically and profitably
worked, and the number of postofBees for
the whole country being but fourteen thou
sand, as against some forty thousand in the
United States. But although the receipts
of the department are largely in excess of
its expenditures, it has now adopted tenta
tively a plan of certifying the- receipt
of important letters, whereby it is.
thought its revenue will be ma
terially increased. The plan, of which
Mr. A. Clifford Eskell, of London, is the
author, has been pressed by him upon suc
cessive postmasters general for acceptance
at various times since 1865, but it was not
until last year that the department agreed
to put its merits to a practical test Mr.
Eskeir.8 plan provides for the sale at the
general pos to fhee, and at the different post
offices throughout the United Kingdom, of
vouchers or certificates, showing that the
atter bearing the same address as the. cer
tificates had been marked at the date men
tioned at that 'particular office. These
certificates he proposed should be sold in
packages of any given number at an aver
age cost of a farthing each, (one-half of a
cent.) He argued that the certification of
the fact by the postoffice clerk that a cer
tain letter or series of letters had been
mailed would be of great value to the pub
lic, who would pay the small sum named for
the satisfaction of knowing that their
letters were safely posted, and he esti
mated that if only three hundred letters
were thus certified each day from two thous
and out of the fourteen thousand existing
postoffices, the revenue from this source
alone would exceed two hundred and
twenty-five thousand pounds sterling,
($1,125,000). The advantages of the sys
tem of certifying important letters not
containing money as set forth by Mr.
ii.skell are, briefly stated, these : The cer
tificates would produce a large additional
and profitable source of income to the post
office. It would pjace the absolute fact of
a leter having been posted beyond dispute.
The production of the certificate in courts
of justice would prove the posting of the
letter and dispense with witnesses, the
production of books, &c. It Nvould act as
check on the negligence or dishonesty of
letter carriers or clerks. It would en
able delays to be remedied and de
linquencies traced to the proper quar
ter. It would . ease the, labors of
the dead (missing) letter, department.
The postoffice would incur no addi
tional trouble beyond comparing the address
of the letter with that of the certificate
both of which would be handed to the clerk
together, who would stamp the certificate
with the date of mailing the letter and re
turn it to the person by whom the letter
was mailed. It is this system of the cer
tification of important letters that is now
undergoing an experimental trial in Eng
land, but the charge of a certificate has
been put at a half penny (one cent). r The
same plan was laid by the author of it be
fore the Postoffice Department at Wash
ington last year, and was submitted 4o
Congress by Postmaster General Key in
the latter part of January of the present
year in a letter to Speaker Randall. Con
gress took no action in the matter, whicn
is at least worthy of attentive considera
tion. . '
The Canadian Vice llegal Court.
Their Excellencies the Marquis of Lome
and H. R. II. the Princess Louise will sail
from Liverpool on the 14th of next month.
The report that the. Countess of Dufferin
will accompany them is unfounded, lne
newly-decreed formula of court presenta
tion is said to be as sun a puzzle to the
Canadians as the Pons Asinorum. It is
decreed that when ladies or gentlemen ap
pear at a representative reception the right
hand shall be ungloved before the Marquis
and Princess. Both hands are ungloved
before the Queen. There will be no hand
shaking, only bows. At private receptions
the Princess will outrank her husband, and
while a gloved hand may be offered to him
for shaking purposes, the right must be uu-
crloved to her. Other folderol is talked
about

Some of the principal items of the esti

ever comparisons of estimates for tne hscal
year with the amounts actually appropri
ated for this year are apt to mislead, as it
is evident that thw year's appropriations
will not be sufficient. The actual' expen
ditures for the year 1S78-79 were $34,
27L892 60. or 1.015.517 80 more than
the total amount authorized to be expend
