The late rising Of the Fenians in Ireland has
been remarkably barren Of bloody collisions
with the British troops or police. The Fenians,
in fact, seem to have. made no fight at all. On
the other hand, in the city Of New York, on st.
Patrick's Day. we find from Superintendent
Kennedy's official report, that from the Irish
procession our city police, interfering for the
rescue Of an unfortunate truckman, were pun
ished more severely in wounded msu--some oi
them Irishmen, too-than oil the British troops
and police engaged against the Fsnians nom
one end Of Ireland 70 the other. From thai
fact We conclude, nrst, that ths hjzh 6ghtoe

alienation seems the only one familiar TO them.
Not content with driving their own people into
disaffection, they do their best to estranga the
governments Of whose friendship they have
most need. This policy cannot endure. 1t
will be brought TO sudden and violent terrni-
nation, we trust rather from internal Influences
than from any Intervention Of ours 1t would
not be desirable for us to be compelled to aid in
precipitating an event which the folly Of those
shaping the des TIMES of the British empire will
assuredly bring about.

Of eighty TO ihirty-lve 1t was decided that tho

Our latest special correspondence from VAL
paraiso informs rs that the question Of truce
with Spain on the part Of Peru, and possibly
also on that Of Chile, has been settled by q
decided refusal. A more important subject for
the future of both countries is the proposal Of
our government for o convention Of the repre-
sentatives Of the republics OF Peru, Chile,
Bolivia and Ecuador and the Spanish govern
ment, at Washington, to discuss debatable
questions and settle final terms Of peace. This
measure appeared to be in fair way towards
accomplishment, but it turns out that quarrel
based upon some assumed violation Of etiquette
which has arisen between one of our naval
and Admiral Tucker, of the Peruvian squadron,
has retarded the progress Of negotiations upon
the question Of peace conference to such an
extent that the influence Of the American
Minister, General Fitzpatrick, has been called
in to settle the difficulty. 1t is to be hoped
that no triHing Misunderstanding between
these officers will be allowed to stand in the
way Of friendly arbitration so essential to
the prosperity Of the South American
republics.
There are evidences Of progress in these
States which give hope of thorough regenera-
on. For instance, in the Congress at Lima
there has recently been introduced q bill for
the sequestration Of church property for the
benefit of the State. This 10 the first step
towards . better order Of things II looks
towards relieving the South American republics
from an incubus which has weighed upon them
to the utter destruction Of their commercial
progress. For thirty years or more this system
Of large land and other proprietary by the
Church has been q milestone around the neck
of progress. If the Southern republics are
wise enough to abolish it, by following the
example Of Peru, they may hopefully look for
the dawn Of . better day. Meantime the first
object they should seek is peace and the plan
proposed by the United States government of
q conference between all the contending
powers at Washington, under our auspices,
offers the best chance for this result. Il must
therefore be regretted If any triHing question
of courtesy as regards officials Of the United
States or Peru should delay the consummation
which all parties interested evidently desire.

Constitutional QuibbIcrs.


Certain antediluvian politicians, particularly
those of the Seward stripe, affect to be in great
distress on account of the alleged danger that
the constitution may be violated or even ab0l-
ished. The truth is that their pet notion of 10
coequality of the legislative. executive and
judicial powers Of our government ID absurd.
1t is borne out neither by facts nor by history.
the States and over the decision Of all great
governmental questions resides in Congress,
backed by the will Of tho people, The Presi-
dent can do nothing without the authority ef
Law. He is at the mercy of Congress whenevse
he ventures to oome in conflict With the repFe-
sentatives Of the national will. The Suprems
Court hes Jurisdiction over matters ofproperty
and merely legal issues, not over the grand
questions settled by the war.
1t is but recently that The citizens Of tho
United States have begun to realize tho unde-
veloped might of their government II has
come forth stronger than ever from the ordeal
of tremendous war, and it is strong with Id
own hitherto unsupported strength. It was
discovered only the other day that It was not
unconstitutional 10 pass bankrupt law Of
untold relief and advantage, aud for long
time it had been regarded as oonstitutionally
imperative to leave the control Of the currency
to the individual States. But the constitution
ofthe United States is now known to be equal
TO any emergency; for it involves potentially
all that is essential to the preservation and
development Of our national life. 1t is idle 70
whine, like some old fogy journals, that tho
constitution is in danger Of being violated or
abolished when its inherent energies are being
brought into fuller and more vigorous play than
at any previous period in our history.

National Encourage ment TO tho Fine Arts.
We have always been among the warmest
advocates of the encouragement Of the 6ne
arts We are consequently unwilling to nnd
fault with any steps taken by Congress in that
direction. 1T is q question with US, however,
whether the grants OF public money that have
been made within the last few years for pic
lures and statuary for the Capitol have been
dictated by . proper spirit Looking at the
professional stasding Of most of the artists who
have been benefited by them, it seems TO US
that they have been made either under very
mistaken Impressions or that they are rank jobs.
With few exceptions they have been persons
whose works would have very little value for
any private galleryd and In the highest Of all
branches, that Of historical .conpositioa,
literally none at all. Now, at q time whom
the country is burdened with an enormous
debt, and when we more than ever require
the exercise Of the strictess economy
in the administration Of our finances, this is an
unwarrantable waste of the public meney. Tho
pretence that the adornment of tho Capitol
calls for it or that il tends to encourage art is
ridiculous The pictures that have been thus
ordered and paid for are . Disagreement
rather than an Improvement to that building,
and as to these grants serving as an encour-
agement to the profession, the contrary is the
fact Artists Of genius and who respect them
selves too much to stoop to the means by which
these government orders are obtained loudly
express their disgust at the system and assert
that it tends more to retard our progress in
painting and sculpture than any other OBJ
noxious influence that they know Of This We
can very well believe; for nothing can be more
depressing than to see mediocrty winning the
rewards due to genius. The practice Of voting
the public money for objects Of this kind with
out proper investigation should be put stop
to. AS there are but few good judges Of pic-
lures it is not to be expected that body con-
stituted as Congress is should be very well
acquainted with the merits of artists, and.
therefore, all such matters should be referred
to the decision of q committee supposed to
possess q special knowledge Of the subject.
