The INVASION OF CAYADA.-''Aeic. -,
only one thing that can by any pos ''4-
ity render the present Fenian movement
a matter of serious public Importance,
and that is a general uprising of Feni-
ans in Canada in aid Of the invaders.
We have seen nothing as yet to indicate
that such an uprising will take place.
If the Invaders" have counted on such
assistance, it is not improbable that they
will be as much disappointed as were
the Southern rebels in their expectation
of material aid from Northern Demo-
Gratis at the outbreak of the Rebellion
In the present case, nothing short OF
such a general uprising Of Canadian fe-
mans can afford the slightest shadow OF
hope of success to the Fenian under
taking, and even ,oitA the occurrence OF
such an event, there would still be al
most hopeless odds against them.

THE NEW DEPOT AT ST. ALBANs.-The
old depot building at st. Adams is now
nearly deserted, and will be soon re-
moved entirely, to give room for the
new and extensive building which is
being erected. The work is going on in
lively manner, and st. Adams is to
have one Of the most elegant and com
modious railroad buildings out of the
large cities.

while with the other gun very good
range was obtained, but owing 10 the
defective quality of the powder, or the
extemporized sight which was used In
the place OF the one that should have
been furnished with the gun, the shot
failed 10 reach the target, striking the
ground far short of it, in spite of all at
tempts to elevate the piece. d.

there was really drilling enough to
amount to any practical good, we are in
some doubt. But If the new military
law results in nothing better than the
keeping in good condition for service
Of all the necessary equipments, perhaps
il will not have been made in vain.

SPIR1rUALIsM.-Edito Rutland Herald:
Within the past week, great events have
transpired in the village OF Rutland,
worthy of the highest consideration both
in a moral and intellectual point Of
view. Perhaps at no time since the
Grand Spiritual Convention, has excite
ment run so high and prevailed so gen
orally am ong the people as at the time
Prof. Won Week appeared in the Town
Hall and made a clear exposition OF the
Iegerdemain practised by the many b.
gus mediums, who claim for their feats
the influence Of spirits. We are all well
aware how successfully he met the EDDY
| family in the arena on Friday evening
last; with what q mastery hand he dis
closed their fallacies, to the complete
bewilderment Of radical spiritualists,
and their final reformation. They in
deed frankly acknowledged the delusion
into which they had been led, and look
ed as If they had given up all hopes OF
ever resurreCting the pet theory Of ode
parted spirits communing with inhab-
itants Of earth. Spirit stock that night
ran very low-we should imagine, one
hundred per cent. below par. This was
not, however, accomplished through our
efforts, but by the skillful maneuvers OF
Prot. Won Week, and to him we award
all praise for discovering to US the spir-
itual delusiOn, which we were unable to
discover before.
Much, sir, has been said in condemna-
ton Of the late Eddy family" Irony
and sarcasm have been heaped on them
without limit. They have been ridi.
culed and scorned as impostors, and far.
thermore, it has been insinuated that
they were not over. stocked with intel.
lectual accomplishments. Now. for The
sake OF argument, let us suppose this
to be the fact. We would, then, res.
pectfully inquire if it is not most sor
rowful reflection upon as who, perhaps
claim more Of the advantages Of educa
ton and scientific thought that We
should be so dull and obtuse in our per.
ception as to be unable to ferret out the
sharp practices Of the "uDlettered" 4?
residents of Chittenden. We submit, il
it not strange that the Eddy family
should be so ignorant in this matter
and we SO scientific, and yet so woefully
duped and deluded by them, who, WE
presume, not for one moment, woulC
claim for themselves the accomplish.
ments of the people of Rutland, either
in legal or ia literary pursuits. Consist.
ency aud justice, we think, alike demand
for us ce6sure for our stupidity aud d
high compliment To the EDDY family tn
their heretofore mastery ability.

The National Banks.

Had cold Bullion lived to see the present
day he would have roared so loudly that the
gold mines of California would have trembled
with the sound thereof. That ingenious old
man redeemed his promises of "gold flowing
up the Mississippi" and "gold SHINING
through the interstices of every farmers
purse" and a golden deluge in general, with
batch of shinplasters innumerable as TO guam
tity, worthless as TO quality, and irrcdeemable
in any currency which represented rs much as
five cents in the dollar. He assisted largely In
breaking down an excellent currency because
he wanted better; and one reason that ne
gave for it was, that the notes In when II
partly consisted We're mere "rags and lamp
black" BIDDLE had unfortunately sald that
he could, at any time, crush any OF the state
banks, if they went amiss, and "Old Bullion
harped everlastingly upon that text. The
bank he said, proved too much. If 1t had so
much power rs was implied in this statement OF
BIDDLE's, it was too powerful for republican
government. He and Old Hickory broke down
the bank and removed the deposits for " safe
keeping', into q number of State banks, in
which they We're kept SO safely that the Go
yernment never heard of them any more
They were determined that an institution
welding such power should be put down at
all hazards, and put down it was.
We have now more than one thousand six
hundred National banks, and they furnish n
circulation of 1927, 900, 900. Nota State bank
in the South, at least can rear its head and
we believe there are none operating in the
North. The National banks control the whole
money supply of the whole United States.
There is no other circulating medium than
their notes. Their power is infinitely greater
than the power Of BIDDLR's bank ever was
What, we repeat, would " Old Bullion say
if he were alive, and in the fun possession Of
health and reasoning faculties? What would
all those aeclaimers say who used to de-
nounce Old Hickory for removing the de-
posts, and charge him with attempting to
unite the power Of the purse and the power of
the sword in the same hand? After which
union of purse and sword, it was averred that
there could be no longer any such thing as
freedom.
Since late events seem to have decided pretty
satisfactorily against what were formerly
known as State rights, we presume there will
always be, in future, some great National in.
stitution-a Government bank, perhaps-to af-
ford currency for the people. 1t will be far
more powerful than either of the old United
States banks was, and will resemble, in all
respects, the Bank of England. 1t will, no
doubt, answer the purpose Of affording sound
currency much better than amy bank has yet
done-that Is, II II be conducted honestly
since its issue will be for the whole United
States, and not for any limited portion of it.
But 1t will be an instrument OF tremendous
power, and very dangerous in the hands of a
corrupt and ambitious secretary.
