most destructive character, the power of which
is not even TO be neutralized by long immersion
in water.
These are not Fenian, but English contri-
vances, with which 1t is intended to aid the
Stephens movement by setting fire to the lead
ing English cities. The dismay and confusion
caused by these proceedings will 1t is Calcu-
lated so weaken the Government that IL will be
unable to cope with the Irish insurgents. On
their success will depend the throwing off of the
mask by the English reformers, and the procla-
nation Of the downfall of the Queens authority.
We speak OF these projects as we hear of them,
leaving our readers to judge of the probability
OF their realization. lnferentialy we must con.
cude that the British Government has itself
serious misgivings on the subject. Else why
tolerate those alarming demonstrations under
the very nose OF royalty, or countermand tho
orders for the despatch of the English militia
regiments to Ireland, where every soldier that 1t
can command is urgently required?
IT is remarkable how rapidly in the case of the
British empire, as in that of Austria, the process
OF dislntegration Is setting in. It would seem
as II we had arrived at period of the worlds
history when all purely artificial governmental
systems by which anagonsiic races aud nation
alities have been kept together are doomed to
dissolution. The British empire has been pre-
emmently of this character. Built up by rob-
berry and violence, ii has run the full term of its
iTaudulently acquired greatness. thorough
reform OF its political system and reparation for
the crimes OF which its Government has been
guilty towards Ireland, India, and other OF its
dependencies, might have prolonged its exist
ence. The obstinacy and seldshness of its ru ers
have however, rendered hopeless such chance
of salvation. The fate of the small separate
nationallties into which it will be split up offers
curious subject for speculation. The only
form of government which eau possibly hold
them together is, we believe, that under which
our own country has become so great and pros
peIouS.

The Secretary of the Treasury on the
National Finances.
The Report of the Hon. Hugh MeCulloch on
the condition and prospects of our national
finances has doubtless been read by all our
readers, as the subject OF which it treats far
outweighs in importance any other public
document, not excepting the Presidents
Message itself. While the facts as set forth
by the figures are all that the most sanguine
could have desired, yet the tone of the
Report, and many of the recommendations it
contains, have not tended to exalt the Secre-
tary in our estimation as a flnancier. Pro.

payments is desirable-a basis which all of
us gTant-he suggests a series of improve
ments on the present system, which will tend
to secure that result at an early day. With
out pretending to have access to the facts at
the control of the Secretary, we cannot but
see some discrepancy in his advice. He
recommends five changes, which will be the
remedies for existing eVils:-

Second. In a cnrtailment OF the currency to

the purpose of harmonizing IL with our internal

and relieving altogether, or greatly reiev-
ing, raw materials from taxes, in order that

The Great Revolutionary DcmOnstra-

Empire.

The Great Revolutionary DemoMstra-
tiOn in London-Dangers of the British
Empire.
From the Herald.
The meeting held on Monday last in London
is q startling fact-startlng not merely because
of its numbers and its semi-military organiza-
ton, but because of incidents which identify it
with the Irish revolutionary movement. We
are told that among the flags borne promi-
nently in the procession was that of the "Stars
and Stripes" and that among the airs played,
by almost every band, was "The Wearing of the
Green" an air which had been suppressed by
Government authority in the theatres and
other places of amusement. Those who have
been in England will comprehend the grave
significance of these facts. They constitute a
formal declaration OF war against the ruling
classes and impart to MI. Brights' reform agita
ton the immediate character OF a revolutionary
movement
When the leader of the English radicals went
to Dublin il was supposed that there was an an
tagonism between his plals and those of
Stephens. The one, it was cCntended, sought
merely redress of existing grievances, the
other revolution. 1t now turns out (at
least we are entitled to assume SO from what
tIanspired at the London meeting) that the
leaders OF the two organizations are acting in
close concert with each other. Else why did
not Mr.. Bright endeavor to put stop TO this
Haunting oil republican emblems and singing OF
reasonable songs In the immediate Vlcnage OF
the Queens palace? One thing is certain: II he
is not using the Fenians to compass his objects,
the Fenians are using him. Before many weeks
will have elapsed he will either have TO abandon
the course he has been pursuing, or declare
himself in favor of fotcible measures. He is
already so compromised that he is lett but one
or other Of these alternatives. Which will he
adopt? The answer will be supplied by
Stephens success or failure.
1t will be said that we are laying too great
stress on the incidents OF the London meeting
No Englishman will think so. They are too
serious TO be thus treated. That men in England
should be found bold enough to attempt such
things, and that they should escape punishment
shows that the work of revolution is pretty we'll
advanced, and that the Governments paralyzed
by its terrors. Were the evidences of an insur-
rectionary spirit there confined to such demon
| stratiOns there might even still be room for
doubt. But we have positive proof that prepa-
| lations have been making throughout the Eng
| llsh provinces for an outbreak of some sort.

COngress-Its Spirit, Its Strength, It's
Work.
From the Times.

From the Times
To tervor of spirit, Congress evidently in
tends to add diligence in business. In other
times, the short session was not expected to
show much OF either. Nobody looked for work
before Christmas, and after the holidays the
routine of the Government usually consumed
the brief remainder of the term. This year,
matters are ordered differently The opening
day was prolific of bills and resolutions and
motions of an important character. Tuesday
yielded good deal of the same sort. And it is
quite evident from the tenor of speeches at the
reception and banquet on Monday, and from
the force of the current which flows through
the Capitol, that in the activity and delnonstra-
tiveness of these two days we have an index TO
the general outlines OF the session. 1t is to be
session aboUnding IN tokens OF work, with
politics always nppermost, and with control
ling resolve to do thoroughly what has hitherto
been but cludely begun.
How things will be shaped, and how the
party that has absolute mastery over the posi-
tion will acquit itself under its vast respOnsi-
bities, we snail be better enabled to Judge
after the adjourned caucus to be held tonight
We shall then learn, with something like Ipreci-
sion, the degree and the conditions of unity in
the ranks OF the party, and the Judgment and
temper which sway It's coudsels. Who are to
be the acknowledged leaders? Is the eXperl-
ment OF legislating by committees TO be per-
sisted in, or are committees TO be reduced to
their proper place as auxiliar ies--not as mas
ters-Of either House? Are we to have resto-
ration or reconstruction adherence To the
ment, or the adoption in its stead of measures
of more extreme nature? These injuries
and Others of the same import, suggest them
selves naturally, and after to-day we shall
probably possess data sufficient to work out an
ineligible ansWar.
The first impression produced by what has
already transpired undoubtedly is that the more
radical Republicans have gained both in pur-
