THE FENIANs VS.. THE CANADIANS
The prompt action of our government
has put quick termination to the Feni-
an movement against Canada; but the
correspondent of the Boston Journal,
who has been in Canada lately, thinks
that, had the United States authorities
not interfered the Fenians would not
have been so utterly without prospect of
success as has generally been supposed
not SO much from the Fenian strength
as from Canadian weakness, some of
the elements Of which he portrays as
follows -
Canadian society is conglomerate.
English, French, Irish, Scotch, French
Canadians, Americans, Protestants,
French Catholic and Irish Catholic.
There is no bond OF unity. The French
Canadians have no sympathy or affllia-
ton with the English. The two streams
are distinct. At the meeting yesterday
the resolutions were read in English and
French, and the speeches were made in
both languages. An Englishman must
be followed by Frenchman, and he by
an Irishman, and each speaker was I'M
der the necessity of saying that he would
keep religion and politics out of sight.
There is lack of public spirit. The
sield battery commanded by Stevenson,
which went to the front on Sunday, had
no horses; the government did not sup
ply them the city refused to furnish
them; and the citizens, when called up
on to subscribe for the purchase of
horses, declined. After much difficulty
a truckman furnished them. The
patriotism of the Fenians stands in
strong contrast to the Canadians.
| am firmly of the opinion that Can-
ada owes her salvation to Gems Grant
and Meade and the United States
officials; for if the Feniaus had not been
hindered, thousands upon thousands
would have fiocked to the border, wheth-
er belonging to the order or not, if the
invaders had beehsuccessful, so intense
their desire to redeem Ireland. The
quick and prompt execution of the neu-
trality laws has upset the plans of Swee-
ney. | doubt, however, if the Cana
dams will recognize the fact. We shall
have abuse instead.

The RELEASE OF JEFF. DAvIs.-There
seems to be general expectation that
JEFF. Davis will soon be released on bail
or parole. There are various reports
about the readiness of prominent Union
men to become bail for the distinguished
traitor, and that Horace Greeley, Commo-
dore Vanderbilt and James F. Brady are
among those offering this courtesy. 1t
is even stated that Mr. Greeley and Mr..
Brady have gone to Washington to use
their personal influence for the release
of Davis. This bail is said to have been
fixed at $250.000. 1t is not likely, how
ever, that anything definite has yet been
determined upon.

CANADIAN BULL RUEs.-A correspond

Montreal, says:
In 1851 the people Of the Northern
States had to bear the gibes of England
and Canada because of the panic at Bull

from that well fought battle field to Cen
treville were called towards and pal
troons; and just now the Canadians are
having their Bull Runs on small scale.
The Queens Own" which fought very
well for time, were seized with a panic
at Ridgeway, and ran IA miles to Port
Colborne, Col. Booker leading the re-
treat, and the Fenians at the same time
being on the point of retreating. Very

The FENTAEs IN CONGRESS-. - The
House Of Representatives manifested q
disposition on Monday to question the
policy Of the government upon the Fe-
man question. Mr.. Ancona Of Peunsyl-
vania offered a resolution requesting the
foreign committee to look into the neu-
trality law Of 1918 and see if it doesn't
neea some notifications to be adapted

President be requested to reconsider
his course and adopt the same policy
between England and the Fenians that
England did between us and the rebels.
Both resolution and substitute were sent
to the foreign committee.

The TRICHINA AGA1N.-A correspond
ent Of the Hartford Times, writing from
Marion, Linn county, Iowa, June 5, says
that of the family of eight or nine per

We're taken sick few days before, from
eating dried and smoked ham in its raw
state, and that one died on the 1st. au-
other on the Cd, and that on the Sd three
were in a very dangerous state, while
three were convalescing. The only
member of the family who was not sick
was one who did not partake of the ham.
Before death the victim becomes bloated
IN the face and limbs, throwing up
bloody mucus, and they died delirious.
A microscopic examination was made of
the flesh of one of the young men that
died, and the muscles appeared like good
sized caterpillars or bag worms, and lay
coiled up and crossing each other in all
shapes and directions. In piece of
muscle about the size of half kennel of
wheat were counted twenty-three worms.
There was naturally much excitement in
the vicinity, and we shall probably have
a new panic about eating pork. It will
De noticed, however, that the pork in
thls case was eaten raw. No case of
trlchina has ever resulted from eating
properly cooked pork, and those who
ought to know say there is no danger.

In addition to the above, we may say
Of Gen. Sweeney, the military chief Of
the Roberts wing Of the Fenians that
he is resident of Waterford, N. Y, and
was born in Ireland IA 1922. He came
to this country when lad, and learned
the printers trade in New York. He
served as lieutenant in New York
regiment through the Mexican war.
He was distinguished for bravery, and
lost his right arm at Cherubusco. He
was rewarded at the close of the war by
commission as Second Lieutenant in
the Second Regular Infantry. He served
in California and on the plains. He was
under General Lyon in the campaign in
Missouri, and received ball in his leg
at Wilson's Greek. He was made Colo
mel Of the Fifty-Second Illinois volun-
teers, and went through the campaign
in Kentucky and Tennessee in 1862.
He was three times wounded at the bat
tie of Pittsburg Landing. In Septem-
Der, 1862, he was made Brigadier- Gene
raj of volunteers, and raised to the rank
of Major in the regular army. He sub
sequently commanded a division, and at

or-General.

Stephens addressed q crowd of his coun-

making a speech two hours long. He
denounced the invasion of Canada as
both wicked and absurd, and said no
Fenian could be honest who pretended
that it would have any tendency to free
ireland. Ireland, he said, has men
enough, and if they are furnished with
means they will fight till Ireland is free.
He said:
CAN we wanted in Ireland was Ger

certain period last year, if the members
of the Fenian brotherhood of this coun-
try had had simply said, I'VE cannot do
what you expect; We are rent asunder !;

service, if you are equal to the fight go
into it, if we had been told that last
year, we could have got all we wanted
for the fight, and as sure as there is q
God above US, we would have been q
free people to-day. We had organized
in Ireland over 100000 sworn men; it
was simply an oath of allegiance, an
oath similar to that which you poor
Irish exiles are compelled to take when
