THE CONDEMNED FENIANs IN
CANADA.

The London Examine, thus speaks in
opposition tothe hsngingof the condemned
Fenians in Canada:
The fate Of the Fenians under sentence
Of death in Canada should be decided with
ont any regard 10 the construction that may
be put on an act of grace. Men are not to
be hung, because sparing their lives might
be falsely attributed 10 fear. The judg-
ment Of the government should be IN
swayed by the foolish rants and threats in
the United States. But some respect is
surely due TO the feelings of the American
government The men might not have
been captured if the American government
had not faithfully and vigorously enforced
its laws against piratical enterprises. And
this fact warrants intarcession, and entities
il at least to respectful consideration. The
interference in the course of justice in an
independent state is not like that Of the
King Of Prussia, who solicited the reprive
Of the assassin Muller merely because he
was Countryman. The fact that the blood
stained wretch was German, gave the
King Of Prussia no right Of appeal against
British justice. The President Of the
American Union may fairly claim TO in
tercede for mercy on the ground that by
the help Of his power the prisoners had
fallen into the hands Of their enemies. But
the question Of the disposal of these
men is not to be determined hy in
fuences, permissible or not, but by higher
considerations. 1t has become law
Of the land that life shall not be taken for
any crime except murder. Frost levied
war against the Queen, and incurred the
penalties Of treason, hut he was not put TO
death. Smith O'Brien and his fellow
rebels were transported, though they had
put their necks fairly within the halter.
In both these instances it may be said that
the folly Of the enterprises made it impos-
sible 10 deal with them with tragical rigor;
but If folly excuses, there is certainly no
lack Of il in the Fenian case. The truth Is,
however, that the sentiment of the country
would not have endured the enforcement
Of the extreme penalty for treason in the
instances named.
We have seen it argued that, 10 show
we are not afraid of the Americans, we
ought to act as if We were in great fear Ct
the Fenians, and make an example Of the
captured offenders But fear should have
nothing to do with the question, least all
the fear Of being thought afraid. Let the
criminals suffer suitable punishment for
the unprovoked outrage but not the penalty
rese ryed exclusively for murder. Ii they
had done on our own shores what they have
done on the Canadian frontier, they would
have been shot and bayoneted on the field,
but, when captured, they would not have
been hung by process Of law.

PUBLIC EXTRAVAGANCE AND COR
RURTUnN


When such Congressman as Wentworth,
Of Chicago, rises in his place in the House
of Congress, and inveighs against the pub
lie corruption and extravaganee now so
prevalent, the stencil thereof must indeed
be very great In recent speech he de-
clared that this country is in more danger
to-day from extrayagance and corruption
than il ever was from the rebellion" and
that never were the signs 50 ominOus Of
powerful continuation 10 increase the pub
lie debt and postpone its payment, 10 con
tinIe the supension of specie payments,
TO donate money 10 questionable railroad
companies, who already have large grants
Of land, and 10 make extravagant appro-
priatious to questionable objects" The
only hope Of this prominent Radical of
checking this current Of corruption that is
carrying the country to destruction is in
the President After remarking that a
distinguished historian says that all repub-
lies have fallen by their own corruption,
he asks will not Andrew johnson stretch
out his arm in time to save ours p and
adds IF the President wishes 10 redeem
himself, and to make treason to the best
financial interests of the country odious,
lei him use his veto in instances where he
is sure Of the support of at least one-third
Of the House" One third of the House
And that is all Such is the character of
the Radical Congress, as indicated by one
of its most prominent and ssgacious mem
bers, and who himself has not the most
reliable reputation for official pority, but
who is overwhelmed at the immensity Of
the public corruption opened to his view.
The people, at the late Congressional
elections, showed that they had not yet re-
covered from the war excitement, and that
they regarded more the success Of political
Radicalism, than they did return to the
Democratic policy Of low taxes and an
economical administration of Government.
1t can hardly be expected that sharpers in
position, and sharpers who have friends in
position, will not avail themselves of this
political intoxieatiOu to enrich themselves
ont of the public treasury, so long as the
people continue to imagine themselves full
handed and on the high road to prosperity.
Well may even 50 loose moraled man as
Wentworth stand shocked at the prospect
ahead, and invoke the veto of the Presi-
dent to save, if possible, this Republic from
the fate Of all that have preceded it-being
smothered to death in its own corruption.

SUDDEN SICKNESS OF AN ENTIRE
FAMILY-DEATH OF THREE MEM.

FAMILY-DEATH OF THREE MEM.
BERs.
On Thursday last Mr.. Henry Berner, liy-
ing in the upper story of No. 213 Columbia,
between Plum and Central avenue, pur-
chased two hogs and on Saturday the
family partook freely of the meat, and
during Saturday night the entire fami-
ly, five in number, took suddenly sick,
and at IL o'clock Sunday morning an old
man Of seventy years, Mr.. Berner's father
in-law, whose name we could not learn, and
daughter and son of Mr.. B., aged respec-
lively Eve and three years, died. Mrs.
BerneF was also taken sick, and norrowly
escaped death Mr. Berner had slight
attack, but not seriously. The sudden i'll
ness Of the entire FIRMLY, and death of
three, naturally induces the inquiry as to
the cause. In the neighborhood the i'm
preston prevails that the pork was that of
diseased hogs. The physician declares
their disease 70 be that Of the worst charac-
ter Of Asiatic cholera, brought on, no doubt,
by too freely eating Of pork. The old man
and two children were buried on Christ
mas in one grave, and Mr.. and Mrs. Berner
were taken to the country. This is a terri
BILE calamity, and as the liberal eating of
pork contributed largely to their sickness,
1t should serve as warning to others who
now almost solely live on pork, because it
is the cheapest article Of meat Cincinnati
