Another Of those fendish outmges, which have
characterized the operations OF the Feuans, has
lust been perpetrated at Dublin. kilograms
from there received to-day give the following par
ticulars: " An unusual large number of letters
have recently been received at the posi- Office at
Dublin directed to prominent officials. Each one
Of these letters was loaded with explosive mater-
ais designed TO kill the person addressed. Several
of them exploded before their real nature was as
certaincd. but up to this time no person bias been
killed. One OF the policemen OF the cIty was hor-
ribly mangled by the explosion which occurred
when he opened u.
It's not known how many Of these dangerous
missives have been dispatched. Considerable cN-
citemeut prevails both in Dublin aud elsewhere
throughout the country on the discovery Of this,
the latest Fenan outrage. The authorities are
actively investigating aud will doubt probe the
matter 10 the bottom.
The London Times this morning has an editorial
article on the Fenian question. 1t says that no
less than 10000 special constables have been
sworn IN aud are now serving in London. The
writer calls attention to the grave public danger,
and calls on the Provincial cities and towns to
emulate the precautionary measures oi the metro
polls.

The Fenians seem to be unusually active all
over the United Kingdom, and nearly every hour
templated movement 10y the brotherhood or its
occurrence. Friday night, about midnight, a large
body Of men, with blackenod faces, siumed the
Martello tower near Cork Ireland. The guard
of the tower was overcome and scattered, and the
victors hastily collected together considerable
quantity OF arms and ammunition aud escaped
with them without molestation. Another outrage
was perpetrated at Dublin, sunday. An efJr
was made TO fire the general pUst-oiicc by mean,
of Greek fire, but it was happily frustrated and
beyond the destruction Of a few letters no great
damage was done.
There is much political agitation in northern
and southern Italy. In Naples and in the cities
of Piedmont, the excitement is dangerous and
fears are entertained that it may eliminate ris-
ing against the authority of the government.

ENGLISH lNcoMr FROM AMERICAN PosrAGE. -
It seems that The United States are expected to
pay indirectly the subsidyto be given by the Eng
lish Government to the Cunard Steamship Line
between Liverpool and New York, viz: some
$4,000 per annum. Opposition having been
made in Parliament to this subsidy, Mr.. Hunt, NJ
r., officially assured the House OF Commons that
" the contract would be sel-supporting, inasnuch
the back postage from America, for which the
Cunard Company would account TO the Postmast-
er General Of England would almost balance the
subsidy This argument shows that we are ex-
pected to pay large amount Of the obligation
assumed by England without any equivalent what
ever.

rlr ST. HuoMAs TREATY The Washington
correspondent OF the New York EpeniRg Post
SAYS that prominent Senators now staying over the
holidays in Washington do not hesitate to say that
the Senate will disagree, by very large majority,
to consent to the purchase OF the island of st.
Thomas frcn the Danish government, when the
matter is brought to vote. Senator Wade, in pal-
ticular, is not only opposed to the confirmation of
the treaty but he lavors censuring President John
son for his action already in the matter. lie main
tans, and other Republican Senators are said to
agree with him, that il the President tan secretely
negotiate and make treaty for the purchase Of ter
ritory held by other nations without consulting
Congress or communicating with them until after
all contracts have been completed, that he likewise
has ample power to d pose Of any parcel or tract
Of territory Of the United States that does not suit
his fancy to such foreign nations as may choose to
purchase, and then, when this is DONE to coolly
ask Congress to ratfy his action in the premises.
The rejection Of the treaty at this stage, however,
might give rise to some intricate questions as to
the claims Of the Danish government for formally
transferring the territory.

THE PRESlDENIlAL CAMfAlpN'
Have ouF readers forgotten that the new year
1868 is to be memorable one in the political his
tory Of the nation; that it is to bring the election
of new President, and to determine whether the
four years VI war, and the holocaust of million Of
men and three thousand millions Of money, shall
turn to dust aud ashes, to the golden fruits Of
a more petfec, national union in complete liberty
in true glory, in larger prosperity at home, and a
erandor power over the nations Of the earth Are
they dreaming that Vermont is all right, and so
all will be rght2 Let us awake out OF our dreams
and open our ewes TO the truth Vermont is all
right, and tcM be, IN one sense-that is, she will
cast her vote for the Republican candidate, who
ever he may be- but Vermont may be all wrong,
and viii be. if she shall aid in thrusting upon the
country Presidential ticket that cannot be elect
ed. In short, Vermont should select her candidate
in full view Of all the dangers Of the field and it
should be the man who is worthy Of Der confidence
and surest Of success We think New Hampshire
has set good example for us. Let us consider
the field. Prudence requires first that we exclude
the late rebclious states from our calculations for
two rcasons one is that their admission to the
Union in time for The Presidential election is UNI
certain and the other is that their vote, if admit
ted, is uncertain. Taking then the loyal states,
we find New Hampshire closely contested, and
Connecticut New York, New Jersey, Pennsylya-

states save Delaware and Kentucky hare been Re
