The Federal and the State Governments
1 ado True Theory OF their Relations.
From the WorI5. r.E ,.- rp ..,.I, 7.....
The difference between President Johnson and
Congress, which has led to his veto of the Freed
mems Bureau bill, and of the Civil Rights bill,
is founded op deeplying principles. President
Johnson's action is the necessary logical conse.
quence of his theory of our institutions. Grant
that hls theory is right, and his policy on cur
rent measures requires no other justification.
Demonstrate that his theory of the Constitution
is wrong, and no further reasoning is needed
against his policy. ru.
The tendency in the Northern States, during
the last generation, has been to deviate from the
true theory OF the CONSTITUTION towards consoll-
dation; and, by n4tural reaction, the South
has deviated to the opposite extreme The
South, having peculiar institution to protect
against Federal encroachment, became the
Jealous asserteTs of State Rights. They injured
their cause by the extravaganza of their adyo-
| caCy. The progress of consolidationist ideas in
| the North has been favored by the immigration
| which has so wonderfully increased our wealth
| and population. Externally in all foreign re-
/ lations we are one. Foreign powers take no
| cognzance Of and hold no intercourse with,
/ our State Governments; which, in respect TO
/ foreigners, are the same as non-existent.

may say that the Fenans have kept the British
authorities in hot water, both IN Great Britain
and Canada, Tor some time past; andsthey
ought TO do something now besides collecting
money, Nhich appears to be coming In Without
STINT. IT all the reports be true, greehbacks
and munitions OF war are flowing into head
IN arlersn like perfect sea. il is natural TO
suppose that the liberal contributors have
great expectations" Of the result which Is TO
come out OF the movement, and it would APP
pear to be the duty OF the Official recipients of
these contributions TO put them to good use.
whether they have really sent an expedition
abroad, or are husbanding their resources until
the right time TO strike shall arrive, Is q matter
of which the leaders OF this mysterious con-
spiracy are the best Judges; but IN the mean
tune Fenian projects form excellent matter for
public gossip and private discussion.
I If they have sent their argonauts' IN search
Of the golden fleece Of Irish Independence, it is
all very well; lor they must have done II very
skilfuliy mol to have been caught by those yigl-
liant custodians Of ffternatioI al law, the United
States mafshsls. If they have not, and are
st1l contemplating such movement, they had
better look sharp, or the Government authori-
ties may lay an embargo upon their iron-clads.
A good many mysterious movements have been
going on for few days past, which might war;
rant the suspicion that an expedition was really
ON foot. For instance, we have been informed
that quite number of workmen have been
missing from factories and foundries, and seve-
Ial IRISH walters have vacated their places in
scme of the hotels. Fenianism is now pretty
is said that you can hardly put your finger
upon an Irishman either in Great Britain or
America, without touching Fenan. l iU
Accoroi ing TO the statement OF the Irish ex-
Attorney General Whteside, in the British Par
lament, Stephens, who is the inspiration of the
Ihoven ent, is one of the shrewdest and ablest
Tevolutionists of modern times. If we can Judge
from the tone of the French press, Fenianism
does not find its only adherents and advocates
in Ireland and America. 1t has sympathlzers
also on the continent of Europe. The French
Canadians, TOO, rather appear to favor 1t, be-
cause they object 10 the centralizing idea of
British imperialism embraced in the project of
confederation. Fenianism, therefore, may claim
some strength and some significance, How the
the leaders of the movement intend to use the
power which they apparently hold is matter
at the present time merely of conjecture.
Rumors are abundant and wild. We must wait
for the facts. However, one thing is certain:
that whether any fruit ripeRs from all those
rosy buds and blossoms OF revolution, or the
npping frost OF disapp pOintHent shall wither
them up the British Government at home and
IN the American colonies have been grievously
disturbed and put to great expeuse--a matter
which, in consideration Of the course That Gov
eminent pursued during our late war, we can
hardly be expected to r gret very deeply

NARROW ESCAPE OF ex-senator Gw1N.-We were
told yesterday of an occurrence at Fort Jackson,
which we believe has never yet appeared in print,
although it took place some time ago. Dr. Gwin, who
arrested here by order of Gen. Sheridan and
to the FORT writes much and for convenience had his
table and writing materials placed in of the
mates. Up and down the gallery outside his retreat,
constantly marched black guard, whose duty it
to that the prisoner of State made attempt
to escape through the embrasure or otherwise.
While busly employed one day, gust Of wind car
ried off sheet of his manuscript and without mo-
ment's reflection Dr. Gwin dashed by the sentine in
pursuit of the literary This thoughtless &C.
ton nearly cost him his life, for the negro soldier
leveled his musket Immediately and pulled the trigger
but fortunately the cap failed to explode. Life at
times it will thus be seen, hangs upon very slender
thread for if the guard had been good soldier,
and kept his gun Clean the doctors earthly troubles
would have suddenly terminated, and the world re-
NAMED in ignorance of the great State secrets which
it is said he will reveal when the proper time arrives
