THE FENIANS AGAIN.

Late kilograms from Montreal, in Canada
represent intense excitement there on ac'
count of the expected Fenian INVASION
Thirty thousand militia troops have been
called into the field in Canada, and heavy
reinforcements from England are on thei,
way to assist in repelling the 6llibusterers
The Fenians in New York and other large
cities of the North and West, exhibit much
enthusiasm and activity, and if ever they
are disposed to carry out their designs fol
the rescue of Ireland, the present will nc
doubt be selected as the fitting moment fol-
action.
This conspiracy formed upon the soil Of
the United States, and organizing for hos.
tile purposes against a,power with which
this country is at peace, seriously compro.
mises national comfy, and may result in
unfortunate complications between England
and the United States. Should these ex-
peditions be allowed to depart upon their
bloody missions to Canada, and thereby con.
vulse in revolution nation which is at pro.
found peace with the world, the response.
bihty of the act will rest upon this country.
England understands the position too well
to pass quietly oversuch insults to her peace
and honor. She will undoubtabe demand
heavy reparatiou for the outrage.
However sincere the sympathy of this
country for Ireland may be, it affords no
warrant for permitting conspiracy to be
formed upon its soil that may eventually
destroy the peace of two continents. The
arm of the government is strong enough to
stay by single act, these hostile designs.
It will, we think, be put forth to arrest
them, but perhaps not until the peace of
neighboring State has been endangered
bY these unlawful adventurers.

nessee prior to admission. The Bill makes
no provision for the admission of Senators
and Representatives from Tennessee. 1t
is, however, the model Bill to be adopted
in reference to all the now excluded eleven
Southern States. The conditions are, how.
ever, very stringent, and must be ratified
again, with covenant against the use of
the power of Legislation for the repeal of
such conditions. A storm of indignation
will be raised among the Conservatives.
Mr.. Rodgers made minority report with

SEIZURES OF PROPERTY BY GOVERN.
MENT AGENTs.-We have been informed
by Governor Perry that, whilst in Wash
ington, be had conversation with the
Hon. Hugh McCulloch, Secretary of the
Treasury, in reference to the conduct of the
Treasury agents in South Carolina. Mr..
McCulloch assured Governor Perry that he
had never authorized any of his Treasury
agents in South Carolina to take from the
possession of the citizens, horses, mules,
saddles, brides, wagons, &C., which had
been captured, or which had belonged to
toe Confederate States or United States,
and bona Jiae in the possession of the peo-
ple He had given no such orders or in
structions to any of his agents. He further
expressed determination to ferret out the
frauds which some of these agents had per-
petrated, and bring them to justice.
We deem this information very impor
tant, and hope our brethren of the press
will give it free circulation for the benefit
of all concerned. 1t seems to US that every
instance of violation of the rules establish
ed by the Secretary of the Treasury should
be reported to headquarters Our citizens
should certainly claim all the protection of
the United States authorities, and they will
realize that they live under Government
both capable and willing to shield them in
the peaceful enjoyment of their rights of
person and property. GreenviUe Noun.

Mr.. FINCLE, of Ohio, upon a
motion to amend the Constitution, made by
Mr.. MCKEE, of Kentucky, on Saturday,
prescribing Southern men from Office, made
a speech in which he denounced the test

This was not the hour for revenge and

These people had done wrong, but we should
show them that we can be msgnanimous in

The RICHMOND BANKS TO HAVE THE
COIN, TAKEN AWAY AT TIME OF. EvAcU-
TIoN, RESTORED. Washington cor.
respondent of the New York Herald says :
At the time of the evacuation of Rich
mond, the banking establishments of that
city continued to send away the amount OF
coin belonging to the different institutions
to point further South, for the purpose OF
securing it. The amount originally reach
ed the sum of two hundred and fifty thous-
and dollars, of which one hundred and fifty
thousand was lost by plunder, and the re-.
mainder placed on deposit in Washington,
Ca, in, charge of special agent of the
Richmond banks, who, owing to the unset.
tied condition of affairs, was unable to get
back to Richmond, and was, therefore, COM
PEELED to remain there some time. While
this coin was at Washington, Ca, claim
was made to it by Gen. Wild, of the Freed
mems Bureau, ou the ground that it was
captured property, and on investigation OF

ing right of possession to the agent of the
banks. Afterwards, about the twentieth of
August last, an order from the President,
through the Secretary of War, was received
by General Steedman, then commanding
the department., to turn over the captured
coin on deposit to Treasury ar"us. This
was done and the coin sent to new York,
where it was placed on special deposit with
the Treasurer of the United States. Claim
is now made in behalf of the Richmond
banks for the restoration of this money, and
it is alleged that the order of the President
was made without full information of the
facts in the case. After full and careful
examination by the Treasury Department,
the matter has been referred to the Presi-
dent, who has ordered that the coin be res
tored, provided the identity between the
amount now on deposit in the Treasury and
that claimed by the banks can be establish
ed, and a compliance made with certain
formal conditions imposed by the Secretary
of the Treasury.

MiSdirected Sympathy.

The World yesterday devoted over column to
what it called "the torture Of Jefferson Davis, in
which such adjectives as wicked" shameful -
damning," "horrible, &c, &c, abound.
Now, the official report made upon Davis condi-
ton does not anywhere show that he has been tor
tued that he has been treated with extraordinary
criminal severity 1t sets forth that he is much
shattered in mind as well as in body; but he was
that before the collapse of the rebellion 1t is no.
torious that during his reign at Richmond he was
often unified by nervous suffering, for any part in
public affairs, and for any duty, however trifng-
1t is not strange that man broken down in health
by neuralgia disease long ago as 1864, and since
then suffering the tremendous shock of failure of
all his wicked projects and tedious imprisonment,
should be in the condition described by Dr. Cooper.
But the World, which grows so furious at the suf-
ferings of Davis that it scarcely find words in
the language to express ITSELF showed no such sym
patty with the thousands of Union soldiers who
were literally tortured to death at Andcrsonvile-
1t cared very little for their suffcrings; it is only
when the rebel chief who sent the brute Winder to
command at Andersonville and with whose knowl-
edge and consent our men there tortured by
his chosen jailor-it is only when Davis complains
that the Worlds sympathics are stirred
We should not find fault with this-for m en- must
be expected to sympathize with their friends-but
it is not right to misrepresent case and to charge
the President of the United States with 'torturing
prisoner of State; for if it is true that Davis has
been tortured the blame and disgrace would rest
upon the President.-N. T. Ere. Post

How Thomas Jefferson Treated an
Offlce-HOlder who Slandered Con.
greSS.

II is said that history repeats itself but il seems
IL sometimes repeats itself backwards, as is shown
by the following: In 1902, when St. Clair was
Governor in the Northwest Territory he delivered
NJ address TO the convention assembled at Chilli
cothe 10 prepare constitution for what is now the
State of Ohio. In that address Governor st. Clair
used the following language, viz:
For all internal affairs we have complete Leg
isature Of our own, and they are no more bound by
ana act of Congress than by an edict of the First
Consul of France
This coming to the knowledge of Mr.. Jefferson,
then President, be directed Mr. Madison, Secretary
OF State to address the following reply to Governor
ST. Clair:
SIR: The President observing in an address
lately delivered by you to the convention at Chilli
cothe an incompetence and indecorum of language
toward the Legislature of the United States and a
dlsorganlzng spirit and tendency Of very evil ex-
ample, and grossly violating the rules of conduct
enjolned byyour public station determines that YOUR
commission OF Governor of the Northwest Terrific
~ shall cease On the receipt of this notification"
If Thomas Jefferson were President what sort of
a reply would he make TO Secretary NIcCulloehs
late serenade harangue? What would be his renIv

present day. who indulge in San intemperance and
indecorum Of language toward the Legisatureof the
United States and disorganizing spirit and ten
dency Of very evil example, and grossly violating
the rules of conduct enjoned by their public sta

for them precisely what President Jefferson did for
Governor ST Clair. The American people are a

ACT OF ATTAINDER AND CoNFIsCATION PASSED BY
THE REBEL CONGRESS.
The fowing exceedingly. rigid act of disfran-
chisement and attainder against the Union men of
the South was passed by the Richmond Congress
in 1861, in which sat a full delegation of Tennessee
members, viz:
Be It enacted, That any citizen holding Office I'M
der the Government of the United States after the
3lst July, 1861, shall be forever banshed from the
State, and be declared an ALIEN ENEMY; and that
any citizen of Virginia hereafter undertaking to
represent the State of Virginia in the Congress of
the United States, SHALL in addition to the above
penalties be considered guilty of treason and his
property be liable TO confscation.
In addition to this infamous enactment, Ex-Gov.
Wise of Virginia, the idolzed orator and exponent
of Southern chivalry, declared to an immense au-
dience in Alexandria on the 18th instant where he
had been invited to lecture by influential and rep
rcsentatve rebels:
If am traitor, let them make the most oft If l
am a traitor, why don't they try me and hang me? l
have lost my lands and property, but would clean
boots on your streets sooner than bow to usurpatOn
If l had triumphed, l should have favored strip
ping them naked. Laughter. Pardon! They
might have appealed for pardon, but would have
seen them damned before 1 would have granted it.

law is one 1.-THE severe as the Davis proclamation
or the act of the Richmond Congress, or the deca-
ration of Ex-Gov. Wise.
