We make an extract from an article in the Jour

No other State was ever afflicted and dsgraced and
cursed with such an unmitigated and unmitigabe,
such an unredeemed and irredeemable BLACKBOARD
as her Chief Magistrate. He is parody, Garcia

u
CALAIS. NE, April 2s.-This afternoon two
American citizens who had passed the United States
guard on this side of the bridge leading to st. Ste
pbens were refused passage by the English guard on
the other side. This action the two men loudly
complained Of and in retreating one of them delib
eratey drew pistol and discharged it at the English
soldiers The ball did not take effect, but the af-
fair has Occasioned the most intense excitement
The United States guard arrested the two citizens,
who are supposed to be Fenians. Colonel Henry,
the officer in command of the United States forces
here, has ordered them TO be givenup to the civil
authorities. This action of Colonel Henry General
Meade has approved.
The English are clamorous for the delivery of the
euprits to them; and, no doubt, the affair hap
pened on English ground he will be demanded I'M
der the eXtradition treaty The guns of the English
guard were unoaded, or they would have returned
the fire.
There are some fears that a rescue of the offender
may be attempted tonight by the Fenians, to the
number of whom several additions we're made to-
day. t.-'
MONTREAL, April 23-La Mincrra, the French
official paper, states that information is now in the
hands of the Government which will lead to a num-
Der of additional Fenan arrests. Many leading
politicians here believe that an alliance for mutual
benefit exists between NJ. DOran Killian and Darcy
McGee. The late movement at EastpOrt is by these
gentlemen, ascribed to McGee; the motive being to
prevent the confederation of the Provinces. They
profess 10 ma cOnnrmatlOn OF tnls view III tue re-
cent speech of Killian, in which he stated that
the Fenians would break up confederation. If
such were Kllian's real motive, it is argued the
means adopted to compass it have been singularly
i'll chosen. Nothing could influence the provinces
more in favor of confederation than the present
threatening attitude of the Fenian hosts.
Wheeler has not gone TO New York, nor does he
intend to leave Canada for some tine. He is now
in Montreal, and leaves tomorrow for Toronto. He

and forever make enmity between the North
and the South.
This extremely radical speech raises many
points that, in ordinary times and under ordi-
nary circumstances, might be discussed with
profit. We might argue as did Mr.. Halls
Republican Of New York;, that before
rights can be forfeited there must be trial
and conviction of each party before court OF
competent Jurisdiction, and that such law as
Mr.. SHELLABARGER contemplated would De

cunning device to secure political ascendancy
to the handful of what are called Union men
bv excluding from suffrage and citizenship all
the Southern whites who sustained the South
ern cause, so that these few sO-called Union
men may at once, and with some semblance OF
legality, enfranehise the negroes. This would
make every voter in the South Republican
voter-secure every Southern seat in the two
Houses Of Congress to a Republican member,
and transfer all the Southern States, as a unit,
to the Republican interest in the next Presi-
dental election.
This seems to us to be Mr.. SHELLABARGER's
programme Whether OF not it will command
the support of his party remains to be seen.

DESTITUTION AND SUFFERING IN THE SOUTH
From many quarters of the South, says the
Baltimore Sun, reports of restitution and suf-
fering among all classes of the population reach
us, not only through private parties and the
newspaper press, but through the military and
bureau agents of the government, all of which
Sive us the one general idea of widespread
want, poverty and wretchedness. In most IN
stances the winter has exhausted the Scanty
supplies which had been laid up, and now, when
smiling spring has come, thousands who are I'M
able, from want of present subsistence, to SOW
and labor for the autumnal harvest, find them
selves stared in the face by grim starvation
OF the restitution in the far South, the state
ments made to the chief of the Freedmen's
Bureau at Washington are deplorable in
the extreme. In Arkansas, particularly,
the people are represented to be suffering
greatly from absolute want Of food, and the
destitution is said to be confined almost
entirely to the white population. 1t is also
stated that without Government aid, between
thirty and forty thousand Inhabitants of the
State would actually perish from starvation
In North Alabama the cries of distress, and re-
ports of helpless men, women and children
suffering for bread, are so terrible as actually
to stagger belief, were they not vouched for by
the incontestible authority of such men as r.
NJ. Patton, the Governor of Alabama; Geo. Fl.
Thomas, Major General United States army, W.
T. May, Provost Judge Of Marshall county, Ala
bama, and others equally well known and reli-
able, who have published facts and made appeals
of the most stirring character for aid and sus-
tenance from the generous and Jealous in good
works. In South Carolina, too, famine stares
industry in the face, and threatens to paralyze
energy to such an extent as to evoke the most
urgent appeals for help, and the assistant COM
missioner of the Freedmen's Bureau, General
R. X. Scott, declares that "the appalling fact is
every day becoming more and more apparent
that in many instances planters will be com
PEELED to abandon the idea of making crop
for want of provisions to feed their laborers or
means to purchase the same," and anticipates
that unless aid is rendered the result will be
that "thousands offreedmen will be turned loose
upon the country, destitute the means ofsub-
sistence." The aid invoked by the Carolina
planters, who are confident ofultimately wealth
ering the storm, is simply accommodation and
credit on sales of corn, bacon, molasses, salt
and tobacco, which may be disposed of in
Charleston at thirty-three to forty per cent.
profit, secured by mortgages on estates and
liens on crops. In view of these facts, no eff.
fort that can be made would be too great for
the present relief of suffering in these desola-
ted regions of the South, the necessities Of
whose people, bound to us by the strongest ties
of humanity and brotherhood, cannot, surely,
be long unsatisfed.
