Salisbury Replies to Kvurtp.
Washington, Nov. 17. Lord Salisbury
iu his reply to the dispatch of Secretary
Eiarts relating to the Halifax fishery com
mission, declares that Her Majesty's gov
ernment appreciates the frankness with
which the views of this goverument are
communicated,- and it is desirous of reci
procating in the fullest degree the wish to
come to an explicit and complete under
standing between the two governments.
Lord Salisbury then calls attention to the
circumstances which led to the organiza
tion of the Halifax commission, showing
that in consequence of the termination of
the reciprocity treaty of June '5th, 18 "4,
and of apprehended danger of collisions
between fishermen of the two nations
Her Majesty's Minister at Washington
June 2Cth. 1,871, addressed a note to Mr.
Fish, reciting the anxiety of her Majesty's
government that there should be an un
derstanding's to the extent of the rights
belonging to the citizens of the; two coun
tries with reference to fisheries on the
coasts of Her Majesty's possessions in
Xorth America, and the subsequent organ:
ization of the joint high commission and
ultimately to the treaty of Washington,
further stating that a large portion of the
deliberations of that commission was de
voted to the difficult and long standing
questions now under consideration. lie fol
lows with a statement of the articles ar
gued upon to constitute the authority up
on which the commission acted. His Lord
ship recites the approval thereof , by the
Parliaments of Oreat Britain and Canada
and the Province of Prince Edwards
Island, by the colony of New foundland
and by the United States Congress. After
giving the American citizens fishing rights
in British waters came the steps for the
institution of the Halifax commission un
- der the treaty, a recital of their proceed
ings is contained in his Lordships letter
and the decision of the majority of, the
''.commissions, making the live and a half
millions award as the root of their exhaus
tive investigations of the subjects before
them, 'and is referred to with the remark.
There is nothing upon the face of the award,
wbich'gives any countenance tothe suppo
sition that the commissions traveled beyond
the limits assigned to them by the treaty.
Mr. Evart's argment against the magni
tude of the award is alluded to as poweful
hut her Majesty's government still retain
the belief that it is capable of refutation
and do not follow him with the details of
his argument, for the reason that the mat
ters he alluded to were examined at great
length and conscientious minuteness by the
commissioners. Her Majesty's government
do riot feel that it is their duty to put for
ward any opinion adverse or favorable to
the decision which the majority of the
commissioners have passed. They cannot
be judges of appeal in this cause because
they have been litigants, and as litigants
they have expressed the view upon the
facts which they have felt bound in that
capacity to maintain. Their computations
have been totally different in method and
result from those which the American
-counsel sustained, and which, in part, Mr
Evarts reiterates in his dispatch.
The opinion that according to the treaty
of Washington the fishery commission was
incapable of pronouncing any decision
unless its members were unanimous, is one
in which her Majesty's government are un
able to concur, and several extracts from
text books are quoted in his Lordship's
. reasoning on this point to show authority
Tor the doctrine that in international arbi
trations the majority of the arbitrators
binds the minority unless the contrary is
expressed.
With further elaboration of dissent to
Mr. Evart's position, his Lordship con
icluiles as follows :
"Reciprocating cordially the courteous
and friendly sentiments by which Mr.
Evart's language is inspired, Her Majesty's
government feel confident that the United
States government, will not, upon reflec
tion, see in the considerations which have
been advanced any sufficient reason for
treating as a nullity the decision io' which
the majority of the commission have
arrived.

but the affair has been kept secret until
now. The messenger, Walter S. Lynch,
an old employee of the Company, who had
the money m charge, -with other, express
employees, have been engaged in working
up the robbery without success in impli
cating other p1irties. Lynch' returned to
Augusta from Yemossee, this afternoou,
and reported to the general superintendent
officer, that he had not been able to find
any clue to the robbery. The officers of
the Company thinking the circumstances
implicated Lynch, they had him arrested
by the Sheriff, and in default of "bail, he
will be sent to jail. Hitherto Lynch has
borne a good character. The Express
Company paid the money promptly.

In the Supreme Court to-day a "decision
was made in the case of the Western Union
Telegraph Company vs. Davenport, the
question being whether a joint stock com
pany is liable to an individual stockholder
tor a certificate of stock which had been
stolen from him, and which the company,
upon a forged power of attorney, has trans
ferred on its Looks to anotlter party. The
court holds that there can be no question
as to the right of such a stockholder to
have his stolen shares replaced and a
proper certificate issued to him therefor,
and to receive all the dividends which "shall
have accrued thereon since the unauthor
ized transfer. Forgery, it is held, cannot
confer any power or transfer any right.
Officers of the company are the custodians
of stock -books, and it is their duty to see
that all transfers of shares are properly
made, either by the stockholders themselves
or persons having authority from them. If
on the presentation of a certificate the
company is in doubt as to the authenticity
of a conveyance, or the identity of a per
son, itcan require the genuiness of the one
or the identity of the other to be- satisfac
torily established. But iu either casa it
must act upon its own responsibility.
Xeither the absence of blame on the part
of the officers of Hhe company, in allowing
an unauthorized transfer of stock, nor the
good faith of the purchaser of the stolen
property, will avail as an answer to the de
mand of. the true owner.
FIXDIXO OF STEWART'S BODY
The Story of a Detective.
Xfw York, Xov. 18. Wm. Burke and
Hank Whalen, who were arrested some
days ago on suspicion of being implicated
in the stealing of Stewart's body, were be
fore Justice Morgan to-tay for examination.
Capt. Byrnes, who made the arrest, made
a long statement under oath detailing
minutely all the circumstances touching
the arrest of the prisoners, and the fruit
less search he made in their, company for
Stewart's body. His first information
came- from a man who told him that some
time ago he met Burke on Sixth avenue,
w.ho offered to put him on something in
which there was a good deal of money.
The man, asked Burke if it was the bust
ing in of a bank or the killing of some
prominent man. But Burke told him it
wTas neither, but that it was something
that would astonish the whole country, and
if he Would keep alt right he would put
him pn it as there was a good deal of money
in -it. Soon after the man said he heard
that Stewart's body had been stolen , and
he suspected Burke.
On the information of the witness Burke
was arrested, whs was accused of stealing
Stewart's body, but Burke denied it. Af
ter talking the matter over Bnrke told the
witness, it may be his old women knew
something about it, but he did not know
.whether she would tell or not. Mrs. Burke
was visit eu, wuen sue said, rJiiiy Knew
something about it, but she had no hand
iu it, and wanted his percentage reward to
tell where, the body was. Capt. Byrnes
said he could have" all the reward, if the
men were convicted and the body recovered.
The witness said Burke implicated Whalen
who told him the body was buried at
Orange, X. J.. Burke went with the
captain over to Orange, aud looked around,
but Burke said the other, fellow must have
removed the body to some other place.
Then they returned to Xew York. Burke
aided the witness to arrest Whalen, who
was found at Burke's house. Whalen was
mueh surprised, and asked Burke who the
witness was. Burke told him,
"It's Captain Byrnes, and he's got us dead
to rights for the Stewart grave robbery."
Whaler said he was willing to do whatever
Billy said,, and lilly said he would do as
the captain wanted him to do. Both ex
pressed themselves willing to do all they
could to aid in finding the body, and both
accompanied him to the station house.
Thence Whaler and Jiurke accompanied
witness to Chatham. When they reached
the place iudicated Whaler asked Burke
what he would get if tried, and when Burke
told him onlv a pear and $250 fine witness
said he would not say anything more about
the body, and so the party returned to
Xew York without it. Witness said they
had confessed to him and others of know
ing all about the "body. His Honor re-
mauded the prisoners and said he would
take a formal complaint to-morrow.

are well represented ; besides it is a grati-
ljiug iaci mai Cumberland county feels
and takes so much interest in these exhi
bitions of her Agricultural Society. The
crowd to-day may be safely estimated at
uiret; inousanu people.
l ne German last msrht. at Favetteville
Hall, by the Xumenean Club, was a bril
liant affair in every way. f
in farmers li&ll, the display, too. is a
splendid one, far surpassing iu every way,
that made at the State Fair. The show of
North Carolina hams and bacon is of a
moist superior order, and no section of the
Stale can beat it. The exhibft.of pota
toesboth kinds is excellent, both as to
size and the yield per acre. Vegetables,
wneat, and-small gram show- well, and
make an exhibition any section of the.
country might feel proud of. Here. too.
can be seen some specimens of home-made
turniture, manufactured by Roberts k Mc
Lauchlin, that no factory South or Xorth
can excel. The exhibition in this hall is
indeed very fine the best on the ground
and rarely ever seen, and never surpassed
111 quality, it indeed as to quantity.
in rioral Hall, the exhibit is complete
in all particulars.
It must be confessed that the exhibit iu
agricultural implements was very slim and
poor. A few plows, a cotton gin and a
couple of thrashers was the sum total.
One of the most pleasant and prominent
features of the fair to-day was the visit of
the graded schood.
At 11 a. m. a trotting race took place.
Thomas J. Godwin entered "Maggie,". W.
B. Fields entered "Lizzie," John Smith
entered "Mollie" and John D. Herring, of

Last Day.
Fayetteville, Nov. 13, 1878. An ex
ceedingly pleasant feature about this Fair
is the pride and interest taken 111 its suc
cess by the home people. .They all seem
to work with a vim lor it. rso jealousies,
bitter feelings and small bickering disturb
the running of the Society. The' officers
of the Society are sustained by the people
in the discharge of their duties, ana well
and faithfully are those duties discharged.
In the Farmer's Hall the display was
capital in every way. Among the ex
hibitors were the names of such men as W .
B. Draughon, Maj. Jonathan Evans, Jas.
S. Evans, E. H. Evahs, Wm. Alderman,

McPherson, J. S. Breece and a number of
others.
In the Mechanical department the show
was also good.
In the mechanical and manufacturing
line Fayetteville, especially Cumberland
county, can claim as high a rank as any
section of the State.
The ladies of the county and city take
an active part in the Fairs, and work to
some purpose as the exceedingly ? well
stored limits of Floral and Food and Con
diment Halls testified. In this last named
department prominent among; the exhibi
tors were Mrs. W. B. Wright, Mrs4 Xeill

Only two races occurred during the day.
In truth, not to be mealy-mouthed about
it, the races were not worth even the truth
of this statement about them.
The feature not only of the last day, but
the entire week, was the glass ball shoot
ing, and the appended score shows very
fair shooting.
Six shots, three double shota, were al
lnwd and the following is the SCOT : it
should be remembered that each had three
double shots at six balls : B, R. Utley hit

rThe Times is mistaken in reganj to thb
State, the delegation standing 6 to 2, as de
clared by the election. Scx.j
Democratic plurality over liepublkans,
19 : Democratic maiority over combined
Republicans aud (ireenbaekers, 1.4; Dem
ocratic maiority over all, dividing Green-
backers between the two parties accord
ing to their known pledges or predilections,
20.
In the above list California, not having
elected, is omitted. Her delegation will
f robably be equally divided, as it is now.
n the Twelfth Xew York district there is
one vacancy, caused by the death of Alex.
Smith, Republican. Where it u known
beyond doubt that a Oreenbacker is under
Democratic pledges he is placed with the
Democrats, and vice versa, tor instance,
Yocum, of Pennsylvania, is counted as a
Repubucan, because it is vnderstood that
he was elected by a coalition with the i?
pnblicans, and acknowledged that in a
-square fight between the two old parties
he will 'go with the Republicans,
and so of the Green backers elected id
North Carolina; where Ladd, of Maine,
and Gillette, of Iowa, are for eimilar rea
sons placed in the Democratic column.
Since the election in Maine Mr. Ladd has
taken the Democratic stump in another
State. The five Greenbackers whose posi
tion makes their first allegiance due to the
Nationals are nut down as Greenbackers.
Three of the five. De La Matyr, of Indiana,
Weaver, of Iowa, and Mnrch, of Maine,
are of Democratic affiliations, ana
the other two, Forsyth, of. Illinois, and
Barlow, of Vermont, are uepumicans
The Independent Democrats o
Georgia and Texas will, of course, act
with the Democratic party, their indepen
dence relating to State and local Lssaes.
rna i-orvnhiiVam ft rp allowed three mem-
bers from North Carolina, bat it is proba
ble that YeaWs will get the certifieatc, in
which case the Republicans will have only
two members from that State. It is re
ported also that Russell, repoblkau-green-backer,
elected over Waddll in the Wil
mington (N. C.) district, will not go into
the republican caucus, but this report has
not been verified, and he is, therefore,
enumerated in the republican column.
Jubilee services were held last Sunday
in all the Methodist Protestant Churches
inthe United States, in celebration or
their fiftieth anniversary.
