EUROPEAN VIEWS OF THE PRES
IDENT'S POLICY.

Upon the first page of the REPUBLICAN, to-
day will be found an abstract of an able and
interesting paper from the Edinburgh kRevie'c,
a liberal and an anti-slavery periodical and
one Of the ablest Of the English publications
Of its class.
From their standpoint, taking as they do
comprehensive view Of our political situa-
ton, looking dispassionately at the workings
OF our governmental machinery, and com
PEELED as they mustbe to study the problems
being solved on this side of the Atlantic,
we may look to the verdict Of their intelli-
gent juries as a true indication Of our politi-
cal condition.
1t happens fortuitouSly that unprejudiced
observers, entirely devoid of partsanship,
have furnished complete answer to the
electioneering document of the obstruction
committee of fifteen, and we commend il
TO the perusal Of our readers.

sire to thwart him, and anxious to find valid
objection or single flaw in his proceeding,
after six months Of careful research, fail to
discover anything which they can attack,
and do not have it in their power to suggest
an alteration or change in his policy. While
Congress, through its chosen agents, cannot
produce an instance Of wrong to be corrected,
or superior policy to be pursued in causing
the States to reappear, IL should have the
modesty, If not the manliness, to be silent in
its opposition and condemnation Of The
PRESIDENT.
The report, in its opinions Of the loyalty
Of the Southern people and its canvass Of
Southern affairs, seems to have sunk all re-
spect for truth and all claim to statesman
ship. According tok there is throughout
the South ian evidence Of IN intense hos
tility to the Federal Union" We pro-
nounce this false. The organic law Of
every Southern State recognizing its fealty
to the National Government the almost uni
versal quiet and order Of the Southern popu-
lace, the snnexceptionable teaching Of the
Southern press and pulpit which now incul-
Gates obedience to the laws, the example Of
the conspicuous civil and military leaders Of
the South, all stamp this statement Of the
committee without foundation and without
excuse. We also deny the right to interpret
dislike to the Thirty-Ninth Congress and its

THE FENIAN BUSINESS.

The kilograms to the press Of Saturday afternoon
and Sunday morning give some additional partic-
ulars respecting the Fenian raiders on the Canada
borders. A scrimmage had taken place at Pigeon
Hill in Canada, between Fenians and body Of
British cavalry. A British trooper was killed, and
three British flags were captured. 1t is reported
that the Fsnians dispersed the British on Pigeon
Hill. They were probably of the sort that are
"pigeon. .livered and lack gall" One hundred
British horses were also captured, but the Fenian
commander refused to receive them, probably for
lack Of fodder In his camp.
A di.patch from St. Albans, sth inst says:
"A squad Of twenty men advanced from St. Ar.
mand's on FreigsbuTg and met force Of the en-
emy, putting them to flight and capturing large
British ahg, which they brought back to camp,
The Fenians entered the custOm-houso and seized
all the official papers.
Gen. MAHAS, a blOOd.thirsty Fenian, sent the
following dispatch to the Boston Herald:
"PIGEoS HILL, c. E., June 9.-we are in the On.
emy's country The green hag waves dehanuy
and we have captured Pigeon Hill, st. Armand
Centre and British coors. We ready to ad

On the other hand, General MuRPHr, 4 Feniar
leader, eounsels his followers to go home. HEF
FERMAS, another Fenian " Genera" complained
to General MEADE Of the interference Of the Unitot
States Government and stated, according to a dis
patch to the New York Tribune: .la.

used for the purposes Of Mr., Seward. They en

pretty cutter with excellent machinery for pro-

As cutter was needed for service on the Pacific
coast II was determined to lsngthen this vessel to
the requisite proportions Of a sea-goer-to change
her from q river craft to an ocean oipper-and
accordingly she was cut in two, and, by the scarf
ing and splicing process thirty feet was added to
her length and her capacity for coal increased from
forty to one hundred and forty tons
This work has been accomplished under the d.
rection Of Captain JoHS MCGOWAN. United States
revenue service, and Chief Engineer WILLIAM c.

Department. Tho wayanda is now q splendid
craft Of 45o tons, carrying six 2t.poundcr brass
guns.

The running Of the cutter on Saturday wai
Splendid some ten knots hour with thirty revo.
lutions, machinery working quietly and easily.
The chief object Of the trip was to show the
working of BLAcKIE's telegraphic annunciator,
for giving orders from the wheel to the eugine-room
which is done by means Of battery which Is a new
