The President nnd the Fenian..

The Cincinnatti Gazstte. commenting
on anothsr notable instance OF the Presi-
dents inharcnt dnpl,city. says:
ut is Mr.. Johnsou's misfortune in the
Fenian busin ,ss. that his vigorous inter-
vention to crush the invasion Of Csnsda.
after it was fully under way. was preced-
ell by course OF condnct which made the
Fenian leaders cnaelnie that he was Ia
vorable to their prcjsct. and would rather
stretch the law Of counteusnce than to
crush them. Without taking into ac-
count their indignant statements that
they had dire encouragement from his
mouth which persuaded them that the
administration ofthe neutrality laws would
be an imitation OF the British interprrta-
tion Of thsu during the rebellion. we may
rememb Der the pnblic fact that Mr.. John,
son received Fenian delegation at the
White House. AMI that at its special re
quest he pardon,d John Mitchell. wbo
WAS then under arrest as rebel. and
whom they wanted to send as their sgen.
to France.
"The otj,ct Of the Frniau organization
to make war upon British possession'
was as puolic then as it is now. and ii
claimed to be an organized government
for a part OF the British dOminions. i
is not strange chat they should take this
official recognition of their organization,
and this marked Gonssssiou to their efti
cisl request. as evidence that the President
regarded their project with favor. and
that whatever tolerance it coull have
within the wide margin afforded by tn,
manner Of observing the neutrality laws
taking British conduct for our example
would be given. This. unfortnn ,tely
gives color to the charge of double deal
ing. which the Fenian leaders bi,terl,
make against the President. and whicl
they support by specifications of mucl
more direct encouragement anl it ex
J poses the same character of dnplici ty
which is charged npon Mr.. Johnson il
his conduct toward the leading measure
and the majority Of Congress.

The Senatorsh.p.

We understand that there is consider
able composition for the appointment to-
The Senatorship made vscan, by the death
Of Gen. Lane and that some applicants
exhibited "indecent haste" in pressing
their claims. having besieged the Goser-
nor some days before Lanes death. We
suppose the Governor will make the ap-
pointment; and we likewise believe that
he will cliueh his professions by scts. aud
appoint q man who will act with the Ra-
dic.l party in the Senate. In fact. the
Governors fate in the coming campsign
will depend in great measure upon this;
and by a wise and proper appointment.
be may dispel much Of the distrust which
has crept into the public mind regarding
his political soundnsss.
We understand that ex-G Governor Car.
ney is q candidate for the appointment.
Having once voted for him. for this very
seat, we have no objections to offer now ;
but it seams to us. not pretending to un-
derstaud the fine wires of political ma.
noe avering. that this appointment would
result to reither Carney's nor Crawford's
advantage. Carney is generally under
stood to be q candidate for Pomeroy's
seat. II he were appointed to gil Lanes
vacancy, it would necessarily make him
candidate. next Winter, for re- election
to the same seat. AS this seat is regard.
ed as belonging to Southern Kansas, that
section would claim it, and would unite
against him, and he could hardly hope
for success. This wonld also withdraw
him from rivalry with Pomeroy. and tht
latter gentleman would have a sure thing
ofit-perhsps will have. under any cir
cumstances. As to Crawford, his sp
pointment of Carney would be regarded
by the Pomeroy party as taking sides di
rectly against them, by giving Pomeroy''
competitor position and prestige, ant
placing at his disposal heavy amoun
OF Government patronage to assist hin
in toe contest. The result would be. thu
Pomeroy party would not be disposed tc
favor Crawford's re- election as Governor
These are merely onr notions. As W.
charge nothing for them, and are not
candidate for the Senate, nor Logging
for any one else, we shall not insist upoI
Gov. Crawford and Mr.. Carney govern
ing their actions by them. 2.
