LONDON, SATURDAY, FEB. 15, 1868.

Perhaps there is no member of the present Go-
vernment who is more to be pitied than Lord NAAS,
for his work is most ungracious, and yet it is so
necessary that it must be performed at any cost.
While we all feel that it is quite impossible to go
on without having recourse to extreme measures for
Ireland, the proposal to revives the suspension of
the Habeas Corpus Act renews the regret and an-
noyance that this painful subject gives rise to.
The history of the suspension of the Act is indeed a

sad 07 ie. It is now two years since it was first pro-
pose( Iby the Government of Earl RUSSELL. Last
year the present Government thought that they
mig ht with propriety dispense with it, but unfor-
tunately the announcement of this gracious inten-
t-don in the Royal Speech induced the conspira-
i ;ors to redouble their efforts, and we have
1 teen placed in a worse position than we were
before. In the face of all this the noble
lord did wisely to ask the House to prolong
the :suspension until the Ist of March, 1869. This
is, -under the circumstances, the best thing to do,
although, of course, we deplore the necessity for
the course being taken. Temporising with such a
dangerous conspiracy will not do, and the only
way to put down the evil effectually is to employ
stern measures, and to act in a summary style.
Neither do we see how, with any show of justice,
the friends of Ireland can complain of this propo-
sal as too severe and stringent. Much has come
to the knowledge of the authorities which shows
that far from being extinct the cause of Fenianism
has still many active agents and willing supporters.
The leaders are using desperate efforts in many
quarters to propagate their schemes, and the ma-
chinery is still in such vigour that it must be met
with all the requisite appliances to overcome it.

We may mention besides that the Government
were only too ready last year to believe the best,
and although they were fully justified in so doing,
they cannot possibly be charged with doing too
much on the present occasion. We may reasonably
entertain the hope that this decided step on the part
of the authorities will be productive of the desired
effect, and that these hair-brained conspirators may
cease their mischievous career. As for the idea that
the evil exists in Ireland itself, that is quite errone-
ous ; it came from America, and the sooner it goes
back there the better. Mr. BRIGHT thinks it is the
fault of those who sympathised with the South
that brought the nuisance upon us, but be
the cause what it may it must be got rid of at any
cost. These despicable adienturers have made the
most of the ill-feeling that they found in Ireland,
but since their evil agencies are removed there will
be no more to complain of in the sister country than
there has been for some time past. It is a testimony
to the efficacy of the Habeas Suspension Act that
the conspirators have found that country too hot
for them, and have migrated to England and Scot-
land in order to bring their schemes to full perfec-
tion. There, however, they are soon foiled in their
efforts ; and thus, with one thing and another, we
may speedily look forward to the complete
frustration of their efforts to promote sedi-
tion among us. Lord MAYO showed
the House last night that the exercise of the
powers entrusted to the Executive in Ireland has
not been carried out with any undue harshness.
Those in detention are not treated with any rigour,
and have only their imprisonment to complain of ;
and of those arrested only eleven belonged to the
farming class. Lord MAYO said the movement
has been confined to the lowest class ; and it is satis-
factory to find that of the forty-three military
leaders who were sent from America the three
chief ones never reached Ireland, and the rest have
either been brought to justice or are now evils.
All must agree with the concluding passages of the
noble lord's speech, to the effect that those entrusted
with the preservation of the law in Ireland have
performed their difficult and dangerous task with
" loyalty, faithfulness, and honour;" and we believe
with the noble lord that, if the Government is en-
trusted with these additional powers, they will be
able to " exercise them in the most efficacious man-
ner for the speedy repression and ultimate extinc-
tion of this baneful conspiracy."

Mr. WALroLE moved last night the second read-
ing of the Public Schools Bill, and after some dis-
cussion this was done. We think Mr. GLADSTONE'S
remarks were perfectly true as to the inadvisability
of sending the bill to a select committee, which
would greatly, delay its progress, without confer-
ring any adequate benefits by so doing. As for the
objections put forward, each school can be dealt
with in committee as it arose. Mr. WALpoLE
explained that the object of the bill was to adapt
the schools to modern requirements. The Royal
Commission had proposed more than could be per-
formed, but the plan 'of this bill is to enable
the governing bodies of the said schools
to make what changes are desirable. This bill
proposes to give to these governing bodies the
power to make permanent statutes and temporary
regulations upon those matters relating to the edu-
cation and discipline of the schools, which will be
laid before the QUEEN in Council and Parliament.
Mr. AYRTON earnestly advocated the necessity of
sending the bill to a Select Committee ; and he
took a very strange view of the question, inasmuch
as he insisted on the right of Parliament to direct
the funds of these schools without reference to the
wishes of their founders. This will hardly meet
with approval, we should imagine, and the House
of Commons will no doubt take a more just view
of the matter. One point deserves attention,
and that is, the proposal to remove these
schools into the country, on the plea of
the advantages of fresh air ; but then it

must be borne in mind that those who reside in Lon-
don must have the advantage of education, and
therefore they should not be deprived of the benefits
which were designed for their use. In this, as in
other things, the judgment of the House of Com-
mons must be exercised, and the Committee will be
the proper place for this to be taken into considera-
tion with a view to arriving at a satisfactory con-
clusion.

Yesterday's news from New York has reached us
through the telegraph. The Reconstruction Com-
mittee have refused, by 6 to 3 votes, to recommend
the;impeachment of the PRESIDENT for opposing'
the Tenure of Office Bill, so that they at least have
learned something by the experience of the past.
Another item of intelligence comes through the
same channel—the defeat of the new State Con-
stitution in Alabama, so that as yet the work of
reconstruction under the new auspices does not
proceed very smoothly.
The steamship Russia has arrived from New
York, after an eight days' passage, bringing news to
the sth of the month. The PRESIDENT has not put
his veto on the bill for the contraction of the cur-
rency ; neither has he signed it, being probably un-
willing to give an open sanction to the Radical
financial policy, while he may not choose that par-
ticular question for a trial of strength between
himself and Congress. In consequence of this
inaction on his part during the ten days allowed by
the Constitution for the consideration of a measure
the bill has become law. Perhaps Mr. JOHNSON
wishes the country to see plainly the reckless spirit
in which the Radicals administer the finances of
the country. The prospects of the future have no
influence upon them, and while they are always
ready to declare their inclination for war, they go
on squandering the public funds and exhausting
the credit of the country. In this respect their
negro imitators have eclipsed their teachers. The
members of the Southern Conventions, in which
_black members predominate, have voted for them-
selves an amount of remuneration greater than
that paid to members of Congress, They put a
