The FcnIan movement Is gathering over Ire
land in a ponentous cloud, whether Of uncer-
tainty merely, or Of actual danger, does not
get appear. The English and Irish papers
make it their leading sensation. The English
Government Is also watching the movement
with interest, endeavoring to learn It's extent
and tho names Of its leaders, and the police
and few troops n1c moving to suppress IT..
drilling Is evidently going on In various parts
of Ireland. Both The government and the
people seem to be very much In the dark
about the whole matter, treating It with min
glcd 1ersty and apprehension. It's plan and
secrets arc either we'll kept or ,very insisnia-
cant, as no facts are published about them.
1t is evident that an outbreak Of some Kind
within few weeks OF month"; Is possible, per
haps probable. We are inclined to believe
the Fenian organization hns more strength in
this country thnn In Ireland, though We doubt
whether its Strength in this country is at all
formidable. -
Taking our own city as basis for estimat-
Ing 1t, aud VIC think the organization Is as
strong here rs anywhere IN the Union, rela-

Its numbers hare been greatly exaggerated.
The Fcnians have made more noise here than
at any other point except New York. They
.havc held fair and d picnic; at the latter
the speeches OF Head Center O'Alahoney and
Orator Morrison created sensation that
spread throughout England and Irelaud-in
he newspapers. They have quarreled with
their Bishop, IS in St. Louis, turned ont

and gone to dtilling-in short have Kept
themselves and their doings smart1y adver-
tised In the newspapers fol, several years. We
doubt II the FenInns Of Boston, Hartford

troit combined hare given as many evidences
OF vitality as those Of Chicago. Yet at the

e Mgn as thirty barrels in four hours, and ex.
hected when they got the new engine to work
% pump ~ barrels per day. For this oil
lhey are offered $40 per barrel at the well.
19er new engine is at work and the well is

! citizen who lived near refinery found his
tellar knec-dcep with undoubted petroleum.
No man in IN oil country has any right to be
sston}shed, by such indications He fell at
work, collected thirty-six barrels OF the fluid
and sold 1t at six dollars to his neighbors Of
the refinery, promising to bring them all he
had. They poured it into their immense un-
derground tnnk. The vender went his way.
So did the oil, and 1t came 10 pass they met
ngnin In the cellar. Alter the process Of sale
had been twice repeated, the refiners smelt

No candidate for Congress who would
take the test oath was presented in Mis-.
sissippi, and the candidates for the Lepis.
lature, who pledged themselves agains,
doing justice to the negro by PROTECTING o
his person and property. were successful.
Such is the position Of Mississippi, and
yet her Members of Congress elect will
ask for admission to the floor OF the nex,
House. They will probably knock in
vain Cleveland Lea der.

Mr.. Sumner on the Constitutional
b" .s't "' Amendment. I .'

Mr.. Sumner has written letter TO the
New York Post on the constitutional alb
clifton amendment, contendirg that it has
been ratified by three fourshs Of the States
and is virtually part Of the Constitution.
He quotes the constiu ulional provision re-.
quiring that proposed amen dment be
ratified by the Legislatures Of three
fourths OF the several States, and holds
that only three. fourths Of the States "ac.
tually participating in the Government"
are required ; and in support Of this view
quotes Mr.. Bishop, who discusses the sub.
ject in the third volume Of his commenta.
ries on criminal law: "If the matter were
one relating 10 any other subject than sIa-
very. no legal person would ever doubt
that, when there are States with Legisla.
lures and States without Legislatures, and
the Constitution submits question to the
determination of the Legislatures Of three
fourths oi the several States, the meaning
is. three fourlhs of the States which have
Legislatures. In fact, il does not require
either legal wisdom or legal acumen to
see this, provided we look at the point
disconnected from the peculiar subject of
slavery"
