THE Missouri TEST OArH IN THE SUPREME
CogBr.-The Hon. REyERDY JOHNSON, in a
letter to Mr.. Hogan, one of the members Of
the House of Representatives from Missouri,
confirms the statement of the latter in regard
10 the decision Of the Supreme Court on the
qaestion of the :" test OATH" Mr.. johnson
states that a majority of the Judges Of the
Supreme Court decided that the oath was
unconstitutional, and that the reason alleged
for not making this decision public ut once
was mainly owing TO the fact that the Judge
selected to deliver the opinion had not time
before the close of the term to prepare such a
one as the Importance and gravity of the
question required. Mr.. johnson adds that he
has no doubt that the opinion will be deliver
ed at tho next term of the Court.

FoREras.---The latest news from Europe
shows that the question Of war and peace is
yet unsettled. England and Russia are in
favor Of peace; the people Of Prussia have
held many meetings in favor Of the same
object. 1t is said that the friends Of peace are
laboring to procure Congress, to be con-
vened at Paris, for the settlement ofthe difficult
ties between Austria and Prussia. Commercial
and financial affairs are very unsettled, with
the failure of many houses. The effect of these
difficulties has reached the United States.
Gold, which stood for a long time at 1875, has
risen to l46 and, tits said, that thirty or forty
million dollars of our bonds, held in Europe,
will be returned for sale in month. Or two,
though we do not think that much can be
made ont of them at the present high price Of
gold. We have no cotton, no rice and little
tobacco to pay our debts abroad, and are
actually importing breadstuffs from Europe,
and the fall in the price Of our bonds must, Of
course, check the foreign commerce Of the
country to great extent. 3

GB- CoScREss has passed an act for con-
structing what is called an AIRLINE railroad
from Washington to New York city, and from
the number Of the persons named as corpo-
rators, we presume that fheroad will be made
as speedily as possible. The charter allows
other railroads to connect with it, and to have
equal privileges, for passengers and freight
with the airline. The power to charter such
road is assumed under the plea Of postal and
military necessity. Congress has also autho-
rized a railroad to be made from Cumberland,
Nd, to ConnellsvilIe, Pa, and from Connells-
vile to Pittsburg.
There has been much inquiry in Congress
and the Board Of Trade, in Washington,
about the intention of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad in regard to the connection be-
tween the Point of Rocks and Washington
city. We have no doubt that affairs have
reached such point, that the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad company viii construct the
last named work with all convenient speed.

FEsIAx INVASION OF CANADA. About the
LIST instant, the Fenians made raid into Cam
ada and had skirmish at a place called Ridg-
way, in which several persons on each side
were killed and wounded, when they rctreated
towards the United States. 1t is said that
thirty-two Fenians were captured by the Cana
dams, and it is reported that two or three
have been executed by sentence of drum
head court-martial. Col. .0'NEiLL, the COM
mander Of the expedition, was taken prisoner
by the United States authorities, along with
many Of his followers, and we presume they
will be held, under a late order of the Presi-
dent, TO answer for violation of the neutra-
lily laws.
Lord MoNcK, the Governor General of Can
ada, in proclamation, says: "The soil Of
Canada has been invaded, not in the practice
Of legitimate warfare, but by a lawless and
piralical band, in defiance of all the obliga-
tions which civilization imposes on mankind. 4"
We do not see how the United States can
avoid a war with England If military organi-
cations, with the open and ayowed purpose
of making war upon England and her colo
MES, are tolerated aud encouraged by the Unit
ed States.
