FEN1AS EXPEDITION. Fenian
excitement is reviving i'll this city,
and the authorities of the Brother
hood predict that within three
months Canada's population will be
increased by 10000 men, in green
and gold, armed and equipped for q
campaign. In the Arsenal on Fourth
street there are $4,000 uniforms, and
twice that number of rifles with fixed
ammunition. The name OF he leader
that is to be has not yet been spoken
in public, but hints are thrown out
about an officer OF high rank in the
Federal army, who has handled large
and small bodies of troops skillfully
during the late war; but q rumor also
exists that unless an organized army
of 10000 men, well equipped and
ofliccred, is prepared for him, he
will not accept the commanding
generalship. In the West and in
the New England States everything
is reported ready for strife, and
Manhattan is only delinquent to the
extent of raising her quota of 5000
men.-Neic York Tribune.

Ned Nevins, the Newsboy. A Tale
of City Life. By Rev. Henry Nor
gan, No. 9 Groton street, Boston.
We have received prospectus of q
work with the above title, of which q
contemporary speaks as follows:
NEARLY all the characters in this
story are taken from real life. Mr..
Morgan's eight years of missionary
experience in Boston, among the
poor, have furnished him with the
facts of which he writes. Of these
facts he has made good use, and pro-
duced story of much worth, one in
which we see great deal of life. AS it
is, and as it is likely to remain for
some time; though, under the wise
and benevolent labors of Mr.. Nor
gan, and other good and able men.
Improvement must steadily take
place"
This narrative is of one of the waits
whom Mr.. Morgan interested in his
services. The boys will be pleased
with tie story, which is toldin fami-
liar and graphic manner, and is writ
ten in the style OF the "Lamplightcr''
and other sensation stories, SO popu-
lar few years ago. We presume the
book will be for sale by all the prin-
cipal booksellers. Price $1.5O.

Banlshment Of White Mon from vIrgisls

Banishment OF White Mon from virginia.
The first active exercise Of sovereignty by
the blacks of the South has occurred in Vir-
ginia, the proudest of the Southern States and
the mother of Presidents" in the days of old.
The negroes, having carried the city Of Rich
mond in the constitutional election, have fol-
lowed up their victory by the organization Of
vigilance committee" and have ordered
two white ci liens who opposed their ticket t.
leave the State within forty-eight hours. They
will doubtless obey the command, as refusal
would cost them their lives. A black mob is
not likely to stop short in career of violence.
We suggest that the oanishei whites be in
vited to visit New York and that grand pub
lie reception be rendered to them. They wilt
excite more enthusiasm than the martyred
Stanton, and as the pioneer victims OF Negro
rule, deserve demonstration.

There is no longer necessity for theories
in giving an analysis of the political condition
of the country. We now have the clear mathe-
NAUTICAL facts to prove that the one great card
Of the social destructionists is the negro. 1t
matters not how fearful condition of affairs
may be inaugurated by the radicals; they have
but one aim, and that the preservation Of
their power at any cost They cry, Cup with
the negrop "Down with the white man !"
"Long live barbarismw death to civilization
They open q war Of caste-the bloodiest, most
dreaded and most unrelenting Of all wars.
Already the whites at the South are forced to
opposition against the negro in the contest
that stares them in the face Now their last
hope il that the intelligent conservative ele-
ment Of the North will come to their rescue.
How much this is needed let the figures show.
The late election returns, showing the immense
negro element in power, are as follows:-

Address of the Radical Congressional Exc
ecutive Committee.
We publish elsewhere to-day the Address of
the Radical Congressional Executive Commit
tee to the people of the States that are to vote
in November 1t is an Incorporate document,
substituting broad assertion for argument, vio-
lent in its abuse, appealing to passion in place
of reason, and seeking to revive and intensity
sectional strife. 1t abounds in all the hack
neyed blackguardism that has been heaped
upon the President of the United States by radi-
cal politicians for the past year and half,
abiding to him as the "perfllous Executive"
the "apostate in the Presidential chair" and
"the accidental President !" and pretends that
the committee are in receipt of intelligence of
'new outrages upon the Union men of the
South, white and black" since the recent
Northern reaction against radicalism, which
intelligence, sngularly enough, is confined to
the committee and unknown to everybody
else. Under the specious cry OF protection
for the "Unionists" Of the South 1t justifies the
Acknowledgement of the white race and the
elevation of the Southern negroes, who were
rebels during the war, to political supremacy.
In short, it is an unfortunate document Cor the
party in whose interest it is written, and shows
that it has no better weapons than violence and
slang with which TO fight its battle.
The address ought to be printed by the con-
servatves and scattered all over the country.
II is the best electioneering document they can
desire. Under Schenck's powerful eloquence
on the wrong side we should not be surpris I'd
il the radical ticket were defeated by thirty
thousand in the State of New York. His
threats ofrepudiation and instruction are all
balderdash, and will Brighten no sensible MN.
The "violent, revolutionary and desperate
men" who he says are ready 10 adventure
another rebellion" to fight their way into the
Union, will be quiet and peaceablc enough,
and the North will see TO II that they are re-
stored to their proper position in the govern
ment without the curse OF negro supremacy.
The only "violent, revolutionary and desper-
ate men" who are TO be feared and guarded
against are those who would bring about
war Of races, and who are now, by their policy,
melting the semi-savage negroes of the South
to take up arms against the whites and drive
them out of the Southern States. This is the
real danger that threatens the peace Of the
country, and to the national credit, and against
this, the people Of New York will record their
verdict next month, as the people of California,
Ohio and Pennsylvania have already done.
The free circulation of Schenck's address is all
that is needed to secure radical defeat in
this State by at least thirty thousand majority.

but would feel encouraged BY the thought
that he was backed up by the sympathy Of his
entire people, and that wherever in any part
of the world liberal sentiment had found
home prayers were breathed for bis success.
The French might feel that they were Crap
ping not with the weak arms which their
fathers despised in the wars Of the revolution,
but with somewhat of the sinewy strength Of
the ancient Romans. The Italians might not
be able to drive Frenchmen from their soil,
but they might be able, as long at least as was
necessary, to hold them at bay.
The success of the Italian cause, in truth, is
largely dependent on the influences which may
be brought to bear upon 1t from without The
civilized world is watching this movement,
and watching it most intsntly. Public opinion
is already excited, and If war break out will be
excited more and more. 1t is not for q moment
to be doubted that sympathy will go with
Italy and against France. The effects viii be
manifold. Prussia may or may not join
actively with her former ally against France,
but Prussia will not fail to prosecute her
designs, meanwhile, upon South Germany, and
ere France is aware Of it the German
nation may be q unit on her northern border
and the triumph of Prussia complete. Austria
can do nothing, even if she were willing, and
she is but little likely to make the attempt
Russia, however, will not lose this oppor-
tunity. She has long been waiting for it 1t
will have come at last, and we may rest assured
she will turn it to her own advantage.
Turkey will be compelled to cede Crete
to Greece, and 1t is even doubtful whether
such sacrifice will satisfy Russian demands.
The Christian provinces of Turkey are ripe for
revolt If Russia but applies the match the
explosion will take place, and Turkey in
Europe will be shattered to pieces. England,
meanwhile will look on anxiously, no doubt,
but with calmness and dignity, sympathizing
heartily with progress and liberalism wherever
they manifest themselves, but refusing to I'M
sheathe the sword except in defence Of her in
terests in the Mediterranean and the East.
Egypt must not be touched, and will not.
Worse than all this, France herself may yield
to the influence Of universal public opinion,
and Napoleon, when too late, may find that,
by the war he has very unnecessarily COM
menced, he has sapped the foundation Of his
throne and ruined the hopes of his dynasty.
Rome too, in the long run, will become the
capital of Italy, whether he will or whether he
will not.

Theresa Yrlverton and Charles Dickens.

Whether their starting point be Boston or
New York, these two lecturers will soon enter
on an exciting and remarked race for public
favor throughout the Union. The one will
read passages from his novels, and the other
choice extracts from her letters, as well as from
the poems of British and American authors.
While Dickens will report the result Of his
studies of low life in London, and introduce us
enew to Bill Sykes, Fagin, Squeers. Brass and
his sister Sally, Quilp, and the rest Of the
dclectable company Of queer characters that
live and move and have their being in his
novels, Mrs. Yclverton will lift us into the
etherealized atmosphere of love. Her charm
ing letters will illustrate the fact that truth is
stranger than fiction and reality more startling
than romance. That letter, for instance, which

As the time draws on for the trial Of JEFF
Davis, that possible event begins to attract a
due share Of attention, and certain sheets dis
cuss it with vast parade Of the learned
lumber Of the law. But the truth is that the
only correct view Of this case Is to be
taken from Thad Stevens standpoint that II Is
all outside the constitution. The war was
outside the constitution, and all the conse-
quences OF IL must be outside the constitution,
whether they be reconstruction or punishment.
AZ ii Is outside the constitution, as the case
assumed proportions that place II beyond the
category of those for the trial Of which the
Supreme Court is erected, IL can only be treated
under the law Of nations. II Is case in which
Congress alone has authority, "a the war

His case has been fully heard In the court OF

the field Of battle, and the only duty left Is to
mote and innict his punishments. His crime
was an attempt to subvert our government,
and the right to punish rests wherever the
power does; for it is arbitrary. Itrests with the
Legislative branch Of the government that holds
