The Fenians are intimidated neither by the
severity which the Government shows toward
them, nor by the general and just outcry of
public opinion against some of their recent
lnisdeeds. On the contrary, they display a
greater activity than ever. Among theirlatest
exploits are the successful storming of Martello
Castle, near Cork, from where they carried of
as welcome booty large amount Of arms and
ammunition; and an Unsuccessful attempt 70
destroy the General POst-0Hlc6 at Dublin by
Greek fire. We expect that they will vet give
England a great deal Of trouble, unless they
arouse the public opinion OF the civilized world
too strongly against themselves by resorting to
an uncivilzed kind Of warfare.

The so-called friends of Mr. Chase are con-
santy making announcements to what the Chase par
ty will do in case their candidate fail to receive the Re
publican nomination for the Presidency The latest OF
these statements through The Boston Journal anu

aid OF delegates from the ten reconstructed States. 10

which they can control This Is very fine programme
but We doubt IL Mr. Chase wTconsder that It offers him
much chance NJ election. New.YOrk Times.
Let us nail this just here. We believe we
have some right to speakfor the friends OF Mr..
Chase and we beg to say to The Times and
70 whom il may concern, that they intend to
support whoever may be nominated for the
Presidency by the Republican Convention to
be held in Chicago on the Goth day OF May
next ensuing We trust Mr.. Chase may receive
that nomination; but whether he does or not,
the candidate will be heartily supported by
him, as well as his friends There need be no
concern on that score.

We print, in another column, an interesting
letter from the Hon. Mr.. Bancroft, United States
Minister at Berlin, comparing the new COnsti-
tuition of the North German Confederation with
that of our own Union. Mr. BancTOft's letter
gives, on the whole, q very clear view of the
important change which has taken place in the
political situation Of Germany. In one point,
however, his statement is apt to misleld read
ers who are not familiar with the new German
Constitution. Mr.. Bancroft calls the Federal
"COuncip of the new Confederation the German
Senate which, he says, sis composed of forty
"three members We think it is straining the
comparison between the United States of Ger
many" and the United States of America all too
much, to give the name of Senate to a num-

Council, moreover, will hardly ever consist OF
forty-three members" The States represented
i'm the Council together cast forty three votes
namely: Prussia II, Saxony 4, Mecklenberg-
Schwerin and Brunswick each, and every
other State belonging to the Confederation
each. Each State may appoint as many mem
bers as it has votes, but as the vote is never
taken by members, but always by States IL
may be expected that Prussia will never APP
point seventeen members of the Council, but
will prefer to be represented by two or three.

When the Fenians made their foolish attempts
at insnrrection in Canada and Ireland, it was
impossible not to feel some respect for their
patriotism ant their bravery, however much we
might condemn their rashncss. But when they
lower tbemselveAto the blowing up of houses
and sending explosiye letters through the mall
they eztinguish every spark of respect and
sympathy which the rest of the world might
feel for them. 1t is poo cause which has no
better support than the dirk of the assassin, or
the lantern of the incendiary. Blowing up
post-onice and hurting innocent men to destruc-
ton, or introducing torpedoes into The domestic
circle, is not much moro honorable, to our
humble thinking, than setting fire to hotels, or
importing yellow fever RAGS, Have the .coun'

The Times referring to one of Mr.. Stewards
contemplated purchases in the West Indies,
says: "What we get in that quarter we must
abe prepared to hold" The Times is under
stood to be the organ of Mr.. Seward, so far as
any paper can be the organ of thu. gentleman !;
and this remark probably means that after
spending nobody knows how many millions in
purchase money for the new territory we must
spend millions more every year in the building
of forts and harbors and the support Of garri-
sons and fleets.

In March, delegates from all the States of
Germany, North and South, will meet in a
common Customs Union Parliament. Already
the military unity of all Germany has become
an accomplished fact by the ratification of the
military conventions concluded between Prus-
STA and the South German States. The Gus
toms Union Parliament will consummate the
commercial unity, and will thus mark a new
and important stage in the progress of Ger
many toward complete union. The patience
of Louis Napoleon is likely to be put once
more to a severe test by this Parliament

Question. The Turkish Government has long

been notified of the displeasure Of the Gar
with her duplicity, and now a council of the
most distinguished statesmen of Russia has
been assembled at st. Petersburg to give their
opinion on the best way of solving the ques-

Rarded as certain.

A CONTINENT COVERED WITH Lee.
PROF. Agassiz comes to the conclua
sion that the continent of North
America was once covered with ice
a mile in thickness, thereby agreeing
with Professor Hitchcock and other
geological writer's concerning the gla-
cial period; In proof of this conclu-
sion, he says that the slopes of the
Allegheny range Of mountains are
glacier-worn 70 the very top, except
a few points which were above the
level Of the icy mass. Mount Wash

thousand feet high, and rough, un-
polished surface of its summit, cover
ed with loose fragments, just above
the level of which glacier marks come
to an end. tells thatit lifted it's head
alone above the desolate. waste Of ice
and snow.
In this region, then, the thickness
of the ice cannot have been much less
tI:an six thousand feet, and this is in
keeping with the same kinds of cyl
dcncc in other parts Of the country,
for when the mountains are much less
than six thousand feet, the ice seems
to have passed directly over them,
while the few peaks rising to that
height arc left untouched. The gla'
