The Fenian alarm is again sounded Tie
Canadians are once more in state of pertur-
baton at rumors about another invasion by the
nets are being frightened up in anticipation Of
fight. IL is curious fact that Just about the
eve of an election campaign these Fenians, who
number say four hundred thousand strong in
the United States, make great stir and halla-
baloo about pitching into the British govern
ment through the Canadian border They
have some enterprising leaders among them,
who always keep sharp eye to windward, and
they may unite and get up some sort of pro-
| gramme for Canadian invasion about this time;
but it is doubtful if it will be carried out,
the real purpose being foray upon the purses
Of patriots and politicians, and possibly to
frighten the poor Canadians, as they did at
Ridgeway and Shutdown two years ago. The
Presidential election comes in very happily
at this juncture The political managers
have large amount Of cash on hand,
and it will not do to let these four
hundred thousand bolt Fenians lay around
loose. Both the great parties will be
after them with clash ings of cash." The
'Fenlans generally are opposed to the radicals;
but the loftiness of th; if purpose will not
suffer them to decline money in aid of it, come
from what quarter it may. Now let us see
what may be expected to fohow. The Fenians
will makea feint at some point on the Cana
dian border-St Adams is cool and con-
venient one. The United Sta tes troops will
he ordered to knock this matter on the head, as
they were two years since. Ga neral Grant
as the head Of the army and the l adical calfdi-
date for the Presdency-wlI be required to
see that this work is promptly exA ,uted. Then
stand aside while the grand explos ion occurs.
1t viii be found that this Fenian m ovement is
not only for an invasion into Calra& but also
into the repose OF General Grant. r ie military
organization of the body via becGl demor-
allied and the leaders placed tempo rarily in
limbo. But the political organization will still
remain, and then woe to General GraII and to
all who interrupted the execution of IN plans
of the Fenians with their nearly half a million
of votes. They cannot, of course, b. @ ounted
upon for General Grant. Thus may, the
Fenians settle the Presidential elsctioa, 'efeat
Grant and elect the democratic Candidate.

conduct of the Impeachment Managers in their
present investigation but foretaste of what
would follow with such men in power? Here
we have all the personal rights of the citizen
invaded at once. Without any process of law
whatever man is deprived of his liberty and
thrust into cell at the mere bidding of poll
acal bully. The secrecy Of the telegraph and
Post Office is violated as no man would dare
to violate it in despotic France. Men who
90 such things merely because they have the
power will know no limit but that of their
power in enforcing their will. With the gov
ernment in their hands and administered by
their tool we would see law passed in Con-
gress to give the government the same author
ity over the Northern that it has over the
Southern States, and Grant, with the Habeas
Corpus act suspended, executing that law.
In the success of the radicals the people
may foresee the supremacy of such principles;
and in supporting the opposing party they give
their voices for the supremacy of the consttu-
tion and return to the old established order
of our government. This is assuming that the
democrats will nominate Chase. We believe
they will do this for the simple reason that
Chase is the only man with whom they can win.
They can elect no other; and it is only
question with them whether they will elect the
Chief Justice or be beaten. Chase's name
indicates the principles of the party that
sustains him. He is the only man of great
intellect in our politics who has conspicuously
stood for the conservation of government of
law and opposed the fury of the radicals. He
made his first point against these extremists
in the courts of North Carolina in determining
against military order of General Sickles,
and he has consistently pursued the same idea
through this great effort to remove the Execu-
tive by political inquest. His conduct on this
trial stamps him man of exalted character,
honesty and resolute to do
what is right.
In the history of one party and in the posi-
BILE candidate of the other men may see what
each aims at, and may determine calmly |
whether they will go with the radicals in a
revolutionary change toward despotism or
with the conservatives for an assertion of the |
supremacy of the law and for securing the |
rights and liberties of the people.

pFlnGTS-M0NTAG.

There is not day in the year which will call out
the German population OF our city in such numbers
as the Monday after Pentecost. And II the weather
anything like fair 1t is safe to reckon at least
fifty or perhaps hundred thousand people visiting
the parks and suburbs. Yesterday being the finest
day we have yet had, Of course q larger number OF
people avaed themselves OF the opportunity and all
the up town parks, where plcnics were announced,
were crowded TO excess. The New York Saenger-
bund at Jones' Wood, had more than ten thousand
visitors, and 40 IL was at all the other parks in
proportion. At the Saengerbund picnic we found
this fault-that their concert was entirely unappre-
ciated. The vocal and instrumental performers stood
on level with the crowd, and amid the hum OF the
Of the performance Of the several pieces announced,
nor even the Battle Hymn, from "kenzi" OF Wagner,
In which force OF sound Is one OF the most necessary
attributes. Had their concert been as handsome as
their turnout In the morning. when they marched In
procession with Mr.. John Koch, Jr., as Grand Mar
shal, down the Bowery to the boat they would have
Park the Saengerust, assisted by number OF
Other societies, had picnic. 1t was wen
deemed satisfactory. At Sulzer's East River Park
the Social Reormers and seven other societies held
their May or rather "Pnngst' festival Tne United
John Humbert as president, did everything to make
their guests comfortable, but in point OF art and in
regard TO the elevation Of the standard OF vocal
music very little could be observed. They sung well
the old lyric, "Auf den freien, lichten Hohenn COn
the Mountains, Free and Clearer''l and also the
that either was sung well we will not say. At
the linton Park Sixty-second street about twenty
other societies joined the Beethoven Maennerchor in
the celebration, and both the performance and the
entertainment were In everyway cFeaitable. The
Lor Park ON Tenth avenue, as well as Elm Park
not far or had their pcnics and the Terrace Garden
ha' bored the Social Reformers proper.
II We may he allowed rough guess, we would say
that yesterday at least one hundred thousand persons
lfft New York city,. or rather, as IL is commonly
called, down town"-and enjoyed happy ,lay with
happy friends Another hundred thousand found
shelter In the gardens in the city. Those who
came OF Jones' Wood stopped In at the scluetzen
Park, NJ the one being on their way, and so did tue
others, ~ soon as they found as proper place.

The Presidential COntest-Whnt Are oh,
Principles InvOlvcds


What are the principles involved in the con-
test for the Presidency upon which the country
is entering? On what facts or what opinions
are the people at issue, and what will it
signify, what objects will be gained, what
purposes furthered, if Grant is elected on the
one hand or defeated on the other? Does the
contest mean anything more than choice be-
tween Grant and man not yet named or the
question which Of two sets of politicians
shall possess the spois? These are the
queries for which every man who desires to
vote intelligently in the present grave state Of
the country must first find answers.
All the promises that the republican organi-
zation means formally and officially to make it
has already made, and all the insight it will
offer into the peculiarties of its policy is given
in its platform and in the name of its candidate.
In its platform this party declares no principles.
1t only puts forth a series of negatives, and
even these are indistinct generalisations that
bind no one and commit the party to nothing
What they say any man can say, no matter
what may be his politics or his views of the
what the principles of this party are it is neces-
sary to examine its history in the past three
years of peace and to consider the
very complete declaration of his position
made by their candidate. Since the
end of the war this republican party has acted
persstently on one idea-revolution; revolu-
tionary reconstruction of our government so
az to give all power to an oligarchy In Con-
gress. This is the one object they have sought,
the one purpose they have persistcntly pur-
sued and kept in sight in every measure. All
things that were likely to aid in the accom-
plishment of this they have favored; all that
stood in the way they have endeavored to
trample down. Their original establishment
OF military despotism in the South their
desperate attempt TO abolish aud stamp out
the Executive; their assault on the Supreme
Court of the United States--all were inspired
by the same idea Of securing the absolute
domination of an oligarchy through revolution
and the overthrow of that fabric OF govern
ment set up by the constitution.
Military despotism, then, supported by i'm.

garchy of arrogant politicians In Congress,
is what the republicans have laborei for
in the past. Within this simple and compre-
hcnsivc programme lie all their principles all
their political ideas; and for this programme
they will labor more energeticaily and with
more resolute persistency in the future.
They will extend the sphere of its opera.
ton ALSO Grant accepts their programm,
fully, unreservedly, slavishly, and dcibc
rately promises beforehand that he will
oppose no obstruction to II, that no policy o
his shall stand in the way Of the prearranges
policy Of the men who pull the wires Of hi

The Chinese Embassy at washington.

The Chinese Embassy at Washington.
The Chinese Embassy after a short stay in
this city have gone to Washington to attend to
the real business of the mission They were
prccluded upon point of etiquette and pro-
priety from receiving any public ovation while
here, because they had not been through the Off
cal form representation at Washington, though
they received many cordial ard hatterng at
tentions in private way. Both at San Fran
cisco and New York they were cordially re-
ceived, and these marked attentions from our
citizens were only preliminary to the hearty
welcome they will receive both officially and
nno6icially at the seat of government. OFF,
cially they will be received at Washington
with all honor and dignity becoming such an
important and unprecedented mission, and
Mr.. Seward will put on his most approving
smile. The government in all its branches
will mark the extraordinary event as becomes
great and friendly Power. There can be no
doubt of its success in this country, for it
means progress and more intimate relations
between the Oldest and most populous empire
and the greatest republic of the world 1t will
leave the shores of America with the most
favorable impressions and with prestige
that will have the happiest effect in the other
nations of the Western World to which it is
going.
The Embassy after having finished its
official business with the government at Wash
ington, will return to this metropolis, and then
ho ;,
The Chamber Of Commerce has already taken
steps to this end. The city authorities, we
suppose, will also act in the matter But
while we hope to see every department and all
our citizens do what they can to give eclat
to the occasion, we recommend the Chamber
of Commerce to take the lead. The Aldermen
and Council of the city would probably want
to make job and a drinking spree out of it,
while the Chamber of Commerce would give
the reception and entertainment q more re-
spectacle character. The entertainment should
be on the largest and most impressive scale.
It should be grand .tste champetre in the
Park, at the old monastery on Monastery
hill. At that sacred and beautiful spot there
could be imbibed with the champagne the pious
feelings pertaining to that holy locality. But
by all means let the Aldermen and Councilmen
be kept in the background, for fear they might
get drunk and desecrate the spot and the occa-
sion. We want to show these distinguished
and learned Chinese when they return to the
metropolis that we are people of taste as well
IS Of hospitality; and we recommend them
not tn On IN an Ohacura small hotel aOain in tho
vicinity Of Mackerelville, but to the Fifth
Avenue or some other good and large hotel,
where persons Of their station and dignity
should 60, and where our respectable citizens
could see them. The Japanese Embassy,
about which so much noise was made, was q
small affair in every way, compared with this
rom China, and we have no doubt the great
metropolis Of America will give due honor
to it.

TENNESSEE-

From the Banner OF Wednesday we
take the following: Mercer treated the
Legislature to "fruit supper" last night.
May this gush ofhospitality be supposed
to have any bearing on the pending Con-
gressional canvass?
An arrangement Is on foot for real
old-tims Democratic demonstration, to
last two or three days, aud to take place
some time next month, within con-
veDient distance from Nashville. Hon
George II. PendletOn has s:gaified his
willingness to attend and address the
people.
We clip the following from the .Press
and Herald Of the 18th We have to re-
cord this morning another terrible coal
oil accident arising from the careless use
Of that dangerous Illuminating fluid,
which resulted in the loss Of three lives.
On last Thursday night, Mrs + ANS, wife
of Col. G. A Esms, living qusrter of
mile from Talford's Station, on the Eaat
Tennessee and Virginia Riilroed, was
sitting up, waiting on sick child We
understand that several times during
the night, when she arose to give the
child its medicine, she had poured oil on
some embers In the fireplace for the pur-
pose of making q blaze and lighting up
the room, The result was that at last
the oil in the can took IRE Rs she was
STOPPING down oyer it with the child in
her arns. Tee can exploded and the
burning contents were thrown over her
and her child. With frantic screams,
Mrs Eams rushed into another room
where her husband had been sleeping.
He, aroused by her cries, wrapped bIsn-
kets aud quilts srou2d her, endeavOIiDg
N nut out the 64n1es buFniDQ himself
severely, bat too lsts to save the mother
or child. The former was terribly burned
about the head and upper part of the
body, aud the latter was burned from
head to foot, expiring shortly afterwards,
