The Fcnian Picnic Near Buffalo.

The Fenan picnic near Buffalo, attended on
Monday by upwards Of twelve thousand sympa-
thizers, was no less mysterious than magnif
cent. What does 1t mean? What does il por-
tendP Why this grand gathering Of Fenians at
Buffalo? The selection OF that particular
point for the concentration Of the Fenian
forces, albeit In festive and not in martial
array, would indeed seem calculated to aggra-
vate the suspicious Of the Canadians, who are
confirmed in their opinion that formidable
raid is contemplated by the Fenians. Nor is
the selection Of q time for these ominous Fenian
picnics-on the eve Of an exciting Presidential
campaign, during which both the democratic
party and the republican party may be ex-
pected, il not to court at least not to be indif-
ferent TO the Fenian vote--very apt to allay
the fears of the Canadians Happily for the
Canadians they may put their trust in Andrew
Johnson, inasmuch az he must be counted ont
of the list of Presidential candidates. He hap
pens, therefore. TO be free to carry out the
neutrality laws, Independently Of all political
pressure, and on him rests the main hope OF
the Canadians that they may still escape
Fenian invasion.

Tho President yesterday issued hGs procia-
nation, in which he declares that palSer has
been received at the State Department, Spur
porting TO be o joint resolution of the Senate
and House of Representatives of the General
Assembly of the State of Georgia, ratifying
the said proposed amendment (the fourteenth
to the constitution of the United States), and
also purporting to have passed the two said
houses respectively on the 2lst of July, 1868,
and to have been approved by Rufus B. Bull
lock- who therein signs himself Governor of
Georgia" 1t will be seen that the President
in this proclamation accepts the amendment
as also does the Secretary of State, Mr..
Seward, in the official paper appended to the
proclamation-as an integral part of the con-
stitution, the validity Of which can henceforth
no more be questioned than can any other
article Of the fundamental law of the republic.
1t will also be observed that Mr.. Seward, in
the enumeration of the States which have
formally approved of the amendment, includes
Ohio and New Jersey. This will doubtless set
at rest the illegality Of the subsequent action
of the Legislatures of those Commonwealth
in reconsidering and withdrawing their original
assent to the amendment in question.

FREEDOM OF THE Press IN ALABAMA
The new Alabama Legislature ventures on
delicate ground very early. 1t has just made
a law for the punishment of newspaper editors
who publish ''slanderous" articles, and as tho
character of the articles Is to be determined by
the caprice or prejudice Of the functionary
before whom complaint is made the law will
doubtless prove convenient tool for crushing
out obnoxious newspapers. What niger
legislator wants is to put any man in prison
who calls him Ouffee. As the right kind of
Judge can readily see that such an epithet casts
odium equalto any SANDER, the law will accom-
plish its purposes The party Of freedom
makes orQgresa.

Central Asia-Russia and BOkhara at Peace.

Central Asia-Russia and Bokhara at Peace.
1t appears from despatch from London
that treaty Of peace has been signed be-
tween Russia and Bokhara. The only thing
which is generally interesting in this Central
Asiatic war is the fact that Russia is by
each successive victory pushing her way
nearer and nearer the confines of the British
empire in India. 1t might not have been diff
cult for Russia permanently to occupy the ter
ritory of Bokhara. If she had persisted in
this policy the barrier line between her and
British India would have been very narrow,
and collision would have been u dangerous
possibility. AS it is, Russia has acted with a
caution that says much for her good sense. The
boundary line is not narrowed. Russia in the
East and England in the East are as far apart.
as they were before this struggle in Bokhara
commenced. Russia, however, has perhaps
gained more by the treaty Of peace than she
could have gained 10y prosecuting the war and
annexing Bokhara. The various neighboring
tribes may be conciliated and won over as
friends. In such o case Russia in the East
will have consolidated and balanced her force,
and may become more than ever dangerous
enemy to England. We are told indeed, that
there prevails report to the effect that the
Russian Cabinet has already directed O
blow against the most vital interest Of
Great Britain in the East-her commerce in
Hindostan-by prohibiting trade between
Bokhara and India. Asia just now is coming
under strange influences. II seems as if the
Western nations the United States included,
were to become not only masters of but rivals on
that great Continent. Great Britain, Russia,
the United States-these are the Powers which
seem destined by the fates to determine and
| regulate the future Of the hordes Of Asia.
Which Of the three Powers shall rule and be-
come dominant is the great question which the
next half century has to solve.

was made to get up another meeting .0f

Var Possibilities in Eurspe.


In another place in this days HERALD we
print cable despatch TO the effect that Spain
and Great Britain are in danger of going TO
war. The war possibilities lie out of the ordi-
nary line. For the last year we have only
been able to think of war in Europe as possible
on three questons-the German, the Eastern
and the Italian. In none of these did we feel
warranted to make much of Great Britain
We felt less warranted to make much of Spain
and Portugal
1t now appears that Great Britain, Spain
and Portugal are the warlike Powers. The
Spanish Supreme Court of Justice has just
confirmed the decision of the lower court es-
tablishing the legality of the seizure of the
steamship Tornado, which in the early part of
last year very nearly produced cas'ts bell
between Great Britain and Spain. 1t will be
remembered by most of our readers that
towards the close of 1866 the ship Tornado,
flying British colors, was boarded by Spaniards
and carried captive to Cadiz, the ships crew
being rather inhumanly treated. Complaints
were Immediately made, and early in 1867 a
government showed itself open to reason and
expressed itself DESTROYS only to have the
question legally tried-giving proof of its
good and honorable intentions by giving
up the Victoria, another ship seized
in circumstances almost identical with those
under which the Tornado was seized-no action
was taken by the feet. Time has rolled on
The Tornado case has been tried by the lower
court then carried to the higher court, the SUI
preme justicary court of the country, and both
courts have justified, as we now learn, the
seizure of the Tornado, declaring it to have
been legal. In the opinion of the Spanish gov
eminent the vessel was fitted out and manned
in Great Britain for the service of Chile, then
at war with Spain. Such is the case with
Spain and Great Britain. At the same time
the African squadron, had in order to put
down Illicit traffic in human flesh, landed men
on the Portuguese coast of Guinea and taken
possession of the place. Portugal is now angry
with Great Britain for invading her territory;
Great Britain is now angry with Spain for re-
fusing her justice; and it remains to be seen
whether Great Britain will not soon be at war
with the entire Iberian peninsula. The Tor
nado case will be submitted to the law officers
of the English crown; the Guinea case will be
submitted to the law officers of the Portuguese
crown; the presumption in both cases is not
against the probability of war. The compli-
cation is peculiar, and we shall await the result
with interest. Whatever the result, interna-
tional law will probably be the gamer.

over them has been withdrawn, and they
are now left wholly free to act in their original

Wade Hampton ON the Situation.

From the sentiments of Wade Hampton, as
given in his recent speech at Charleston, 1t is
evident that there is full and satisfactory
sympathy between the best class Of Southern
men and the Northern democratic leaders, and
this points to the possibility that under
democratic administration there might be
return to the real brotherhood Of the old
Union; that the Union might once more be
such a one as would have the heart of the
South beating kindly towards it and in unison
with the heart Of the North-not one regarded
with aversion and loathing and likely only to
command the loyalty Of the niggers and squat
tiers. The perception of this possibility in
one part of the speech will make Northern
people regret all the other parts Of the speech
for these threaten to put further and further
away that triumph Of the democracy in which
the perfect harmony Of the sections may
revive. The democracy cannot triumph before
the Northern people on the platform Of Wade
Hampton, which requires practically the I'M
doing of what is already done towards recon-
struction; and for this reason Hampton, as
we'll as Toombs and the rest of that sort, Is
bad adviser in the present crisis. If there is
any sagacity in the democratic management it
will. shut these men up.

THE REVOLUTION IN JAPAN.-As we have all
along said, the revolution in japan is likely to
assume more serious aspects than first reports
foreshadowed The new ideas with which the
Tycoon is identified seemed to be snuffed out.
The cause Of progress however, is not so
easily killed. 1t now appears that with the
advent of the Mikado party to power reac-
tionary influence ruled the situation. The old
obnoxious laws against the Christians have
been revived; the representatives of the for
eign Powers have protested, and the presump-
ton now is that the North will combine under
the Tycoon ss s:!2:: The South, armed In sup
port Of the Mikado. Such combination is
already limited at. If it do take place 1t Is only
q question of time which will win. The
Tycoon has the sympathy Of the nations. His
