From Canada.

Toronto, {. W., Oct 20
James J. kogers. barrister from New
York city has volunteered his service gratis
to defend such prisoners as are Fenian
American citizens. In doing so he stipula :
ted that he should receive safe conduct
from the court while here. The application
was made to Justice Wilson through Mr.
Thurston, American Consul. After con
sultation with Hon. Mr.. Cameron his lord
ship refused the application on the ground
that the applicant was not entitled to prac
tice in the Canadian courts None Of the
trials will be proceeded with before We'd
nesday next, by which tiu,e considerable
number Of prisoners will be ready for trial.
When these state trials are taken up they
will occupy the attention of the present
Judge until they are all gone through with,
Which will probably be three weeks or a
month.
More Fenian prisoners were arraigned to
day, one of whom proved to be lunatic
american.

officers lately arrived from Ireland, where

Burke represented to the president that
the American consuls, West Of Dublin, and
Eastman of Cork, misrepresented this coun-

should be appointed and the president,
after hearing Col BIS statement, assured
him, and asked him 10 repeat his assurance
to the officers, that he would give this whole
matter special attention, ard that anythin ne
he COULD do for the gallant Irishmen he
would be most happy to do, that Ireland
had always had his warmest sympatilies as
far as possible IN America. Col Burke
stated to friend that Dr.. Young, the con
sui at Belfast, acted noby in behalf OF the
! Irish American prisoners, and is the right
man to represent his country with prudence,
/ dignity and independence.

DISASTER on THE RED SEA.-That ships
and steamers should collide in the Brit
lsh Channel, foggy and crowded as it IS,
seems natural enough, but that two English
steamers cannot pass each other N the red
Sea, when they were probably the only two
in its whole length Of one thousand two
hundred miles, is a marvel; yet a steamer
from Sucx has cut in two one from Bonn
bay, and sunk Eer in five minutes, with
the loss of eightyone persons, all but TWEEN
ty of her crew and passengers. 1t was a
clear night, and the captain Of each steam
er saw the other full hour before their
meeting, and then managed so as to make
one strike the other full amid-ships and
send her to the bottom before the passen-
gers could get out of their cabins, or a boat
could be launched. This is the third or
fourth case of a similar kind within a few
months, with loss Of life greater than in
many famous naval actions. London Let-

A Touching Sceue-John Van Buren S
DYING Speech.

Elsewhere we give brief sketch Of the
life and ,leath of JOHN VAN BUREN. The
New \ ork papers relate the following af-
fecting incident which occurred the day be-
fore his decease:
On Friday the supreme anxiety Of Mr..
Van Buren for the restoration of the Union
showed in an incident which Is probably one
of the most remarkable in the mortuary his
tory. He was feeling physically BETTER
His mind showed. however, 10 directncsS
or clearness upon general topics, or upon
any at all, except that singular intensity
with which he contemplated the distracted
condition OF the country. v hllc half re-
Ginning, half sitting, supported by the arm
OF his daughter and niece on either SIDE,
Mr. Van Barren eye lighted up with I'M
usual brllliancy, and even IN this position
he seemed to expand TO the eye, as IN the
pride and port Of the orator OF other days.
The narrow cabin became vast auditorium
to his view, the few friends mighty audi
ence, but, more than all, the interests Of the
country rose supreme in his mind and COM
PEELED utterancc He began speech on
national affairs, and concluded it not until
he had spoken without interruption two and
a quarter hours The gentlemen around his
bed say that it was in all @espects worthy
OF, and IN some superior, to his happlest ct
forts. At the first he rapidly and pcrspic-
uously photographed the progress, the pur-
poses, and the problems of the late war,
and emphasized the pledged faith Of the
government that it could and should ulti-
mate in only secured Union of free and
equal states He then advertcd to the eff
forts of Mr.. johnson to carry out that
pledge in letter and spirit, and to have for
his inspiration and guide the unmistakablc
commands Of the constitution and the gen
crous magnanimity Of the people. This
part of this most remarkable address was
followed by a scarificati0n Of congress in
terms Of satire, elCqucncc, and rcproach, Of
which none were 50 capable as he. a rap
id review of the policy Of reunion and dis
union next cnsued, and he thought he was
once more addressing his native state. The
subject ives presented with a splendid ref
orence to the material interests and historic
greatness Of the empire state imperatiyey
demanding that She plant herself square on
the side OF a perfected Union Of equal and
hon0red states.
As piece Of composition, whether view
cd as a literary, an argumcntatiyc, or an
oratorical production, this dying address
was in all respects no less a credit to the
national reputation of the speaker, than 1t
was a vindication and tribute to the cause
and motives that evoked its uttcrance.

The Coming Election.

Less than two weeks will clapse ere the
people Of this county will be called upon
to take a part in the important drama
which will be acted throughout Wisconsin
The Democratic portion Of this people has
great and paramount duty to pcrfom on
the sieh Of NovemJer. Are our friends
aware Of the proximity Of the election, and
Of the unscrupulous means which the So
called Republicans are using to carry it p
Is the Democratic party prepared for the
battle? But little over a week is left them
to do SO, and we again appeal to them to
improve the time If our party IS organ
ized-if every Democrat feels the impor-
tance Of the election, and will perform the
duty which he owes to his party and Wis
consn, We have no fears for the result 4
glorious victory awaits Us In Manitowoc
county and in the State. Every day brings
Us additional intelligence confirming our
prediction Of certain success. What Dem
ocrat viii hesitate to lend his best efforts to
such consuumaticu2 What Democrat
will fail to share in the common triumph of
the cause.
Let every Democrat, then, 80 to the
polls and vote the 1rLo5c Dcmonutic h.cLtt
Let not rain, or mud, Or distance, keep any
man at home let him stand * the polls
and use his best efforts for the cause. If
he knows OF a Democrat who has not voted,
let him 90 after him. The right to vote i,
a sacred one, aud every man should cxcr
else it, and feel that hy the discharge Of
that duty lie united with bis brethren
throughout the State in swelling the sore
of rejoicing over the election Of MORGAN

Fenian muskets, which were seized by
Federal military officers along the Canadian
frontier, are to he returned to their owners,
upon the assurance that they will not be
used to violate the laws Of the land. 1t
has been said that these muskcts, or some
portion of them, were sold to the Fenians
BY agents Of the government, knowing
what they were to be used for" \ rca-
sonabe presumption is that they are now
also returned to the Fcnians, knowing what
use will probably be made Of them. The
only requirement is that the use shall not
be in violation Of an American law. If the
Ecniaus shall use them to redeem Ireland
every patriotic American will rejoice So,
likewise, if they shall use them to plant the
banner Of liberty and civil order upon the
soil Of Anahuac. All that the federal
government has the right to ask, or will
ask, is that in the using, no law Of this
county shall b. broken.
