We cannot say that it win be truly ended until

be able to keep the Southern States from being

and not the people Of the South. will prevent
the rebellion coming to an end. We have
no idea they can or dare do this; but II they
should, the people of the whole country will

ing times, when threatened by hostile move
ments abroad, England was never so thor
oughly scared as she appears to be at present
by the Fenians. With an army Of seventy-three
thousand men, including constabulary and
militia, which is at present in Ireland, one
would suppose that her Majesty's Privy Coun-
Gil might sleep in peace. But it is evident that

Dreams of the treacherous neutrality towards
this country during our domestic trouble are
conjuring up visions of American iron-clads

ing like cloud of locusts about the Irish
coast Hence frigates, and gunboats, and per-
chance by this time the whole formidable

present time the Nemesis of per6dious Albion
The Irish magistracy are more alarmed even
than the paternal government in London, or
the stepfather's government in Dublin Castle.
They are invoking the protection of "arms
acts" and "crime and outrage DIS" and all
the other machinery by which British govern
ment in Ireland transports few patches of
peasants at intervals Of political agitation, en-
riches few rascally iniormers, and makes
heroes and orators at safe distance.
We cannot blame people who live in the
vicinity of volcano for feeling uneasy
when they hear internal runblings of the
mountain; and this is just the case with the
magistrates, the landholding aristocracy and
the government in Ireland. The Fenian vol
cano is rumbling ominously. Officers and
soldiers of the American army, we are told by
the newspapers, parade the streets, wearing
their side arms and carrying their rifles openly,
not caring fig for the newspaper reporters
nor The police, while the peasantry actually
march along the roads in squads of from fifty
to two hundred, and stop when their COM

arms in defence of their homes, to assert their
right to govern in their own country-nay,

TRIAL OF raE CRY OFFICIALS AT AIBANf.-
The investigation Of the official deeds of our
municipal officers is progressing at Albany.
From the developments thus far it needs no
prophet 10 sec that the whole thing will end
in nzzle. The parties making the charges
appear to have gauged their action more in'
accordance with their own grievances, or to-
obtain revenge for some failure to share in the
fat pickings, thar for the public good. There,
can be but little if any hope Of anything
arising out of tlie present trial which will
prove beneficial to the city. The only hope.
now is in the election Of Legislature that will
inaugurate general system Of reform through
out the State, and take such steps as will
check the corruption which has penetrated
almost every department Of our local govern
menis, not only inthis city, hut in many of the
counties in the State. The nominations for the
Legislature are now about being made, and
the people everywhere should see that the,
right kind of men are chosen. A reform in ths
Legislature is needed as much as in any other,
quarter. Now. is the time 10 secure 1t when
there is no other issue to divert the public
mind. There is NO great question to be
decided; in fact, the merit Of the different Gun
didates is the only thing that can enter into
the canvass with any plausible pretext Bet
this be the ISSUE. Let the selection Of repre-
sentatives and Senators turn ON this point
throughout the State, and there win be some
hope that we may have an honest and Efficient
Legislature, ono that win not only put an end
to the corruption at ALBANY, but also in this
city. Unless something Of this kind Is done
we shall inevitably driE TO vigilance COM

way of all provost marshal clerks. They
are no where to be seen. The chairs and

q Glass Wedding.

OF late we have had various kinds oi
weddlngs-wooden at the end of five years
from the commencement of matrimonial
life; TIN in ten years; glass in fifteen; chi
Ma or crockery in twenty. silver in twenty
five; gold in fifty; and diomohd in seventy
five. 1t is not to be supposed at this age
anybody will live a century of married life
and therefore no provision is made fol
the hundredth year. On Monday eve
ming glass wedding, the first we ever
heard of in this city, came off at the house
of Mr.. Augustus parson, on Boardman
street, quite party of friends having as
sembled for the celebration. In the com
pany was the Rev. DIR. Spaulding, who
made some appropriate remarks upon the
thread of III irriage as we'll as life, but
hoped that the present couple would live
happily through the chains of matrimony
to even their goldend anniversary. After
passing from labor to refreshment and
partaking of the latter, the company were
shown into a room brilliant with glass
presents, very beautiful and some OF
them very valuable. 4 large table was
lighted with three wax candles-re
white and blue-on glass candesticks;
and stacked around was every variety OF
glassware desirable in family. for use or

The Execution at indianapolis

The Cincinnati Enquirer, in noticing
the order for the execution Of Messrs Mil
lean. IIorsey and Bowlcs, truthfully say:
There was the form-if We do not make
a f1aprant misuse Of terms in calling it even
the torm of a trial. The parties were
brought before that which called itself a
court. and something which received the
title Of evidence was offered against them.
Upon the nature of that evidence we have
commented before, and have nothing to
rcneot or retract. Without hesitation. we
saw this: that before no legal court or i'm
partial jury, upon such testimony, would
these men been found guilty cfany crime
to which the death penalty is by law at
tached
Now that the foundation for even pre-
tense Of national danger is broken up,
there should be an end to party vind;c-
tiveness. Let these men be brought to
trial; let them enjoy the advantage Of that
benign presumption upon which civiliza-
ton insists, that they are innocent until
they arc proven guilty; let them have the
assistance of unhampcrcd council, and
of those rules which the experience of
AGES has devised to eliminate the false
witness from the true, and the illeg mat,
| from the legitimate; and it then, by al
unbiased pannel Of their fcllow-citizens
they were found guilty, let them be pun
ishcd. This is what humanity has Il righ
to demand. 1t is what governments we're
made to secure, and what the party il
power will gain nothing by refusing. The
blood of those done to death unjustly will
cry out from the grave against the muir
derers. There is no neod OF haste In
sending these men to eternity. The coun
trv can well afford to wait ages rathe,

in its name.
We appeal to our contemporaries of th,
republican party. We present it as &
matter Of party interest. DO they want
this thing done? DO they want the blood
of these men in the skirts of their party
Do they want the memory of a great ac
of injustice to hang over them and al
