It appears that Lord Salisbury! preten sion that the treaty rights of American fishermen to . fish , and catch bait on the coast of Newfoundland are limited by, and subject to, the statutes and municipal reg ulations of Newfoundland, h not sustained by tle language f those statute. An Associated Press dispatch from Washing ton, published m. the Sun yesterday, sarvt that, with the exception of certain pro- Tisions as to fishing on Sunday, all that re lates to the fisheries in the consolidated statutes of Newfoundland is embraced ia j the 102d chapter of that code, one section i or -wnieir contain! the 'ligniBcant savi n g clause that "nothing in this chapter shaji affect the rights and privileges granted by treaty to the subjects of any state or power in amity with her Majesty." This clause certainly covers the rights of the United States con finned by the treaty of Washington. Jt may not have been in tended 1o Z meet that purpose, and probably it was not. but it is wide enough, nevertheless. The London Daily Newt of yesterday, in an article on the subject of Mr. Evart's letter, a part of which is given in our dispatches this morning, confesses, even in advance of see ing Lord Salisbury s note and the state ment made by te Newfoundland authori ties, that "Secretary Lvart s case has some force in it," and adds : "A right has been bought, and in the natural course f things will be paid. for by the United state. Their right of fishing thus ac quired occurred about two years before the local law was passed, and our'comrnis tionert forgot to reserve to the Ideal leg- tsiaiuret trie rtgm oj making regulation. This is true enough, as far as it goes, but, as the quotation above given from the: statutes in question shows, the right of making regulations-was never assumed by w l- s TAfinnllA s-tsi n n4lt Ai4!aa rVvs i n rnr good nMQn thal the right of fishing was no new one recently acquired ry the United States, nor is it one exclusive-; ly enjoyed by our people. The French have even more important fishery rights in Newfoundland than the United .States, rights secured to them a far back as 1G3. "J )u tre1 ' R" OI :aU'ear li4n" D the later treaty of l83,the rrencli were confirmed in possion of the island of Miouelon and St. Pierre, near the south coast of Newfoundland, and they were triven full rieht to fish on the west coast. This riirht, thonc-h sustjlended in time of war, has practically existed ever since, and it certainly cannot be curtailed by the statutes and municipal regulations or .Newfound land. I he provincial nsnermen, in tact, have never been very hostile to the French. It is the enterprising Yankees whom they hate, because these,"by more dash, industry and better implements, catch more fish and sell them to better markets. Our right to catch fish in British colonial waters is a. very old one. It existed long before the revolution, long .before the French hud been driven out of Canada, and was in fact the property of the Massachusetts Bay fish ermen, acquired, by conquest. An early as 1670 a free school was founded by the Cape Cod fishermen out of the profits of the cod and mackerel fisheries. In 1639 the fish eries of Massachusetts were encouraged by being exempted from"colonial taxation) for seven years, in 1741 these fisheries em ployed four hundred vessels, taking 230,000 quintals of codfish annually. In 1775, in tne hope to starve New England into sub mission, the British Parliament passed an act to deprive the colonies of the right of fishing on the banks of Newfoundland. After the revolutionary war, when the treaty of 1783 came to be negotiated, the British government wanted .to retain the legislation of 1775, but John Adams stood up firmly for the right of our citizens to a share in the fisheries, and rt is probably due to him tnar tne treaty nnaiiy con contained a clause providing "that the people of the United States shall continue to enjoy unmolested the right to take fish of every kind on the Grand Bank, and on all the other banks of Newfoundland ; also in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and at all other places in the sea where the inhabi tants of both . countries vused at any time heretofore to fish; and also that the inhabitants of the United States shall have liberty to take fish of every kind on such part of the coast of Newfound' and at British fishermen shall use, and also on the coasts, bays and creeks of all other of his Britannic Majesty's dominion in America." This is not simply the conces sion of a privilege ; it is the recognition of an established right, the use of which had been merely suspended by war.' And yet, after the war of 1812, because the treaty of Ghent contained no mention of the fish cries,- the' British government pretended that the rights confirmed as above stated had absolutely lapsed. The convention of 1818 restored a part only of the privileges enumerated in the treaty of 1783, and in all the correspondence and in dvery subse quent treatp on the subjeot, including those of 1854 and 171, the British government has sought to restrict and narrow down as much as possible the almost immemorial privileges conquered in the earliest colonial times. . Lord Salisbury's, letter is but part and parcel of this policy. - tTarmiof Cities by Mteani The Electric Light ts. Gaslight. The Holly system of heating cities by steam, which Gen. Spinola is endeavoring to introduce into New York, (the bill for which, however, has just been vetoed, on the ground of its practicability not haviug been proved, and, even if it should prove valuable, no profit to the city being pro tided for in the measure,) is being put in to practical operatiqn in Springfield, Mass. The Springfield Gas Company have bought the right for that city, and have already laid two thousand feet or more of under ground pipes, and are heating by steam several public institutions and a number of stores and private residences. . The pres sure on the street pipes is estimated at front twenty to twenty-five pounds, and the loss of pressure by condensation and fric tion at the remotest point at which the pipes have been put down is said to be but 1$ pounds. With thirty pounds of pressure on the mains, Mr. Holly asserts he could heat the entire city, whilst in the houses the pressure is so regulated by valves in the cellar that it is always kept at five pounds, neither less nor more. In Lockport, where, the system was first introduced, five miles, of main were in operation last winter, to which two miles have been added this year making seven miles in all. It is claimed that houses a mile distant from the point of distribution were heated in the coldest weather as readily as those near at hand, and that it has been experimentally dem onstrated that an area of four miles square can be warmed with one set of boilers. The expense of patting in pipes and apparatus is not more than that of setting up an ordinary furnace and the Springfield company guaran tee that the cost of heating a Duildinr by steam shall not exceed the average of the consumers' coal bills for the three previous years. Betides New York and Spring field, rights to heat , cities by the Holly system .have been sold for Chicago, Detroit and other places. . But, will this system of warming prove to be so successful as to warrant iu uuwucuuu uwb m gen erally as lighting them by gas; and besides -t.An.A MuvVimrtir steam and other domestic purposes ! This ! remains to be seen, and is doubtlets,in any j case, a lone way from full consummation. It is proposed; ooreoyeT, to use the sirrplas f steam in workshops- and factories as .a motive power. H t- I " . V The Springfield Gai CoBtpaty may have been induced to undertake" the business of heating buildings by steam asa prudential movement in view of the possible supersef dure of gas by electricity for illuminating purpoe9. Mr. Louis J. Jennings, writing from Ixndon. to the New York World, comfirms the report t that the publicity given to Edison's reputed success in adapt- ing the electric" light tS'puWic'iaM'lib'nse hold u$ea has sent down the price of gas shares in England from 10 to 30 per cent. He states further that the London Times has already undertaken to test the practi cal value of the new discovery, and on a specified night printed its entire edition off for the fin t time by the electric light. It is 'noteworthy, also, that Mr. Edison is not the only inventor endeavoring to solve the problem of an electric light for household use, nor is he the first in the field. On Tuesday last the Sawyer-Man electric lamp was publicly exhibited at the offices of the Electro-Dynamic Light Com pany in New York. As" in Edison's ma chine, the electricity for the Sawyer-Man lamp is generated by friction, but whilst 1 he dispenses with carbon points, the Saw yer-Man light is produced by the action of electricity upon a carbon pencil as in the Jablokotf candle but under conditions which, it is alleged, render the carbon point practically indestructible a point that is yet to be decided whilst the cost of the light will, it is said, be about one fortieth the price of gas. Mr. Edison is more ca'utious. He states that the cpst of the electric light he is perfecting will not be greater than that of gas. Others doubt if the cost in any event can be re duced more than one-half, whilst there are prominent men of science who question the practicability of bringing the light into general une. They contend that the mo tive power the stationary engines and the fuel to run them would involve an expense greatly iu excess of ihe price cx ' landed for gas. What confidence is to be placed in any or all of this we do not un dertake to say, but in the company that hasbeen organized to introduce the Sawyer man electric lamp, it may be mentioned, are the Hon. Hugh McCullock, ex-Secretary of the Treasury; William H. Hays, president of the. Bank of New York, and a small number of other wealthy residents of, that city. - The Witteonsiu MeimtorMbip. Baltimore Sun. Washington, Nov. 8. The friends of Senator Howe express their entire confi dence in his re-election by the Wisconsin Legislature, which has an assured straigh out republican majority. Mr. Howe is now serving his third term in the Senate, enter ing that body March 4, 1861. There is only one other Senator who antedates him in service. Mr. Anthony, of Rhode Island, who took his seat March 4. 1859. Ex Senator Carpenter, who has just returned from Wisconsin, is not very hopeful of succeeding-Mr. Howe, although he will do the best he can to get back to the Senate. Mr. Howe's friends say that Mr. Carpen ter waited too long to see how the cat would jump, and assert that it was only a very few days before the electiou when he braced himself up to the point of proclaim ing from the stump that he was a republi can.. It seems there is also another prom inent wireworker in Wisconsin republican politics, Keyes by name, and this gentle man, it is, said, will also be a candidate for Senator. But the probabilities are that , the friends of Mr. Howe are correct in pre- dieting his re-election. Why there is a Solid South. - Macon Telegraph and Messenger. The solidarity of the South is the simple outgrowth of political necessity. There is in point of fact no party in the South out side of the Democracy which could be rationally entrueted with power. The world has seen the radical party of the United States violently creating a political people, and by external influences placing it in supreme and undisputed power for years, and then practically forced to con fess to the world that it has proved itself wholly unworthy of the trust and intellect ually and morally competent for nothing but public mischief and ruin. That ia the historical result of radical .reconstruction. which cannot, be denied or erainsaved. Its ! record in every State is a record of public calamity and shame. Decline of Religion in London. London Tiniet. Mj Samuel Morley, M. P., presided at a great meeting in the Philharmonic Hall, London, recently, when about three thous and 'people attended, including most of the leaders of the Union. Mr. Morley spoke in behalf of the Church Aid Society. He be lieved the great feature of the present day was a growing indisposition to attend pub lic worship. This was pre-eminently the. case in London. He held London "to be one of the most heathenish parts of her Majesty's dominions. It was considered that if fifty-eight per cent, of the people were anxious to attend the churches and chapels next Sunday morning there would beT required one million more sittings than were provided. The most appalling truth connected with that fact was that, of the sittings provided, not more than one-half were occupied. , Edison Patents Ills ElecTric Light It seems as if we are to have from Eng land the first information in regard to the success or failure of the Edison system of lighting cities and houses by electricity. The English papers announce Mr. Edison's a tents for the subdivision of the electric ight filed in the patent office in Lon don on October 25th, and that as soon as. the legal formalites are completed experi ments with the invention will be made publicly. In the meanwhile the municipal authorities of St. Petersburg, Russia, have obtained the consent of the government to light the streets of that city with the Jab lokoff electric candle, and the Chelsea dis trict of London is to be similarly lighted, unless- the undertaking has since been de layed to await the result . of the experi ments with the Edison electric light. German-American Citizenship. Secretary Evarts has stated to a promi nent German-American citizen that if any naturalized German citizen of the United States shall return to Germany and remain there more than two years, this govern ment will consider that under the provi sions of the Bancroft treaty of 1868, such person has ceased to be an American citi zen, and will not be entitled to protection as such. j The Wheeling Register, the leading Democratic paper in West Virginia, has appeared in an enlarged form and an entire new suit of type, including a handsomely designed head. - - Poking fun at the Greenbackers, says the Philadelphia 7Yme, is a safer thing now, but you must first find your. Green- Dacaers . -i VfancMtrfll, S 3eW trull. i Efforts are said to be making m the ( East Indies to export to America the deli- . cious fruit known as tne maugysiceu, persons who have visited Ceylon. Java, or the southeast of Asia must rememuer xo hTe eaten with pleasure. It ij claimed i that some plan has been devisedto keep f the fruit during its long royage. The man- j gosteen, native to the Molucca Islands, a - though grown in many parts of the East, resembles in size and shape an orange, j The rind is like that of the pomegranate, , but thicker, softer, and juicier. Green at ; first, it changes to a dark brown with yel lowish spots; the inside, of roy hue,, be- j ing divided bv thin partitions into several s cells in which the seeds lie, surrounded ! bv a soft succulent pulp, tasting like a combination of grape and strawberry. It can be eaten without inconvenience m any quantitv, and is the sole fruit which physicians permit their patients to take. Indeed, it is recommended as very whole some, and has the happy mixture of sour and sweet that is so appetizing as to pre vent safety. The leaves of the tree are entire, some seven or eight inches long, tapering at the ends, of a bright green above, and , an olive color beneath. The blossom looks like a single rose, and has fourMark-red roundish petals. It is not improbable that the mangoteen might be domesticated in Florida and Southern California, since it seems to need only hot weather in order to flourish; and if it could be domesticated, it would be a great addition to our many varieties of delicious fruits. Murders for the DiKJteetiug Room. The crime for which Mrs. Alexander Was on Friday sentenced to imprisonment for life, and for which young Bassett is yet to be tried, is not without its prototype. Just fifty jears ago flourished m the city of Edinburgh two rascals named Burke and Hare, whose trade was murder murder trained bv selliner the bodies for dissection. Their last victim was au!old woman whose dead body was seen in the room of the murderers, where she had been singing and carousing a short tirfie before. Burke was arrested. Hare turned king's evidence and the former was hanged.- Burke confessed before execution to no less than fifteen murders committed in company with Harel Joaquin. London Letter. A poet and traveller, the whilom un kempt Mr. "Joaquin" Miller, appears on the promenade occasionally with locks clipped to the civilized measure, and only the sombrero remaining of his earlier wild western eccentricities of dress. Those whom he .favors with his literary confidence re port that he is very philosophical under the adverse English criticism of his new book of "Songs" now publishing in Lon don. Because he has polished his diction somewhat from its previous Nevadian free dom some of the English writers think that he is losing strength. But Mr. Miller does not take that view Of it, and waits compla cently for further returns. Denmark has for many years ' supplied canned butter to South America. The same industry is to be commenced in this coun ry. i, . The city authorities of Philadelphia have decreed that telegraph poles must come down, and .wires go under ground. This example is likely to be contagious. New York is already talking of doing the same thing. One of the heaviest losers by the infam ous Bank of Glasgow failure is the Duke of Sutherland. His Grace picked up four shares of the model concern a few years ago, and these shares will cost him about $5,000,000. The whole of Cauada is in a tremor of excitement over the coming of the Marquis of Lome and the Princess Louise. They will remain two days at Montreal on the way to uttawa, ana yet Mayor lieauarjr declines to get official robes like those of the Mayor of Ottawa, and says he looks on such things as a foolish expense. He thiuks a black coat good enough to appear in, even before royalty. THE OFNERAL ASSEMBLY. SBXATE. Pitt E. A. Moye, Dem. Wilson, Nash and Franklin W. S. Harris, Franklin ; R. W.

HARRIS, Editor and Proprietor, Wilmington, N. C. Messrs. Goodwin & Lewis, 31 N. Calvert Street, Baltimore, Md., General Agents.. NOTICES OF THE PRESS. (Wilmington Star.) There is steady improvement. (New York World) Deserves the support of all Southern readers. (New York Scn.) We wish success to this interesting enter prise. - . (Wei.don News.) It is a magazine of merit and we wish it much success. (CURONICLE AND CONSTITUTIONALIST.) It richly deserves the cordial support of all our people. (Biblical Recorder'.) It is printed in large, clear type and is a credit to the Stare. . (Greensboro Patriot.) It is ably edited, handsomely printed, and gives promise of being a very, very interesting publication. (Elizabeth City Economist.) Altogether creditable. Its contributors are first-class and its mechanical and typographical execution excellent. (n ills boko Recorder.) Its list of contributors is an an able one and if sustained . will ensure the permanent success of the enterprise. (Wilmington PobT.) It is a first-class literay magazine, and one that the people of this city should be proud of and patronize, as well as the people of the whole state. (Raleigh Observer.) It is needless to say we wish it success, and that we look forward with pride, as well as pleasure, to the r sult of the enterpise as one that will reflect honor upon the State. (Oxford Torchlight.) The typographical execution of the magazine is very fine, and In point of appearance, con tents, and indeed in all respects it is a publi cation which must commend itself to the public. (Graham Gleaner,) It gives promise of being eminently worthy of public patronage. No commendation of ours would equal a simple statement of the table of its contents, with the names of the contributors, which we give as an evidence of of the worth of the periodical. (Farmer. and Mechanic.) Here we have a rich bill of fare from South ern writers, catered by a Southern, lady and printed by Southern printers, on Southern paper. Ye who bewail the lack of Southern literature, and home-fostered talent, shall this enterprise live, and expand ? (Wilson Advance.) The magazine is well gotten up. The sub ject matter is varied and entertaining, while its typographical appearance is a model of neatness, and reflects the highest credit upon the exquisite taste and excellent judgment that suggested and directed Its consummation. (Norfolk Virginian.) This publication appeals to the people of the South for a stapleupport. It richly merits it and we feel will receive it. We know of no Southern literary venture that has exhibited so much merit, united with an evidence of management that must win' for It a position In the ranks of magazine literature and hold it. (Petersburg Index & Appeal.) The South-Atlantic has this merit over any of its predecessors in the same arena, that Ita contents are solid, though not heavy, and that no room appears to have been intended in It for productions of a trashy and frivolous character. While it continues to adhere to this rule, it will have every claim on Southern and general support, and we sincerely trust it will receive it. ' (Danville News.) 1 This is a most excellent publication a mag azine of high character, ah honor to the State, and a credit to the whole South. All Its pages are filled with articles of superior excellence and interest. It has for its sontributors some of the best known authors In the South, is ably edited and neatly printed. This splendid monthly deserves a liberal patronage as a first class southern enterprise. (Raleigh News.) Peculiarly Southern in its character, and numbering among its contributors some of the best and most vigorous writers in the country, it bears upon Its face the stamp of originality and force. The interest of its serial stories has never ceased, while the shorter, casual articles hare been marked by a vigor peculiarly their own. All topics are discussed, and thus the world's progress Is . closely followed. The magazine has from its inception been received with peculiar favor by North Carolinians, nor have Its merits failed to receive lust encomiums from persons of ability everywhere. tf The Hewfl and Cotirier, .
