The Fenlan Congress. mt Buffalo,


Conveniently near to Canada, in Buffalo,
the Fenians are discussing the wrongs of Ire
land with parliamentary formalty. There are
some who argue that they contemplate military
maneuvres. II is difficult to ascertain the
truth of this, and an ambitious Canadian who
endeavored to discover the Fenian purposes,
perhaps from natural curiosity, was hustled
out of their hall the other night and nearly
hustled out of existence They give impor-
lance to this little fact by calling the man
spy. But the name spy supposes pay, and we
cannot conceive, in these hard times, of any
body being willing to give money to find out
what the Fenians are at Can the Canadians
be tormented to that point by uneasy souls
Perhaps 1t is remotely possible that the Fee
mans, counting on the comparative immunity
that the heat of Presidential canvass will
give for the vagaries Of voters, may launch
into the folly Of another Invasion" Both
parties, they may hope, will connivs at little
outrage rather than Offend at such juncture,
an important political element; but we trust
our Irish citizens will remember that Mr.. John
son, who happens to be the actual President
of the United States, is out of this Presiden-
tal canvass, and has future so definite that
there is nothing for him either to hope or fear
from voters. Remembering this they will see
that there Is no reason why he should not
honestly and vigorously enforce the neutrality
laws.

vent it, but there is lacking that moral senG-
ment which demands the execution of good
laws in such cases.
We should like to know what a religious
journal is good for if it cannot make moral
sentiment. If it is not especially the field of
labor g! s@s4 sheets to spread such reasons,
such thoughts, such facts AZ tend to educate men
and women in that healthy perception of life and

retire This writer, in common with many
others, has mistaken for years the vocation of
a religious press, and the evil he now points to
is one Of many consequences of that error.
The religious writer's some years since had not
so many topics as they have now, and it was
common fashion with them to assail the thea
tire, not because it was not pure, but because it
was not the Church. They made then false
moral sentiment that drove from the theatres
large proportion Of that kind of auditors whose
very presence would have kept them pure.
So the decline began. 1t went on through
another failure of the same press, which in
common with the pulpit was seized with the
mania Of abusing the confidence the peo-
pie had in it to political purposes, and thus
abandoned moral instruction altogether.

THE FLOOD IN BALTIMORE. the delug-
ing rains in that vicinity on Friday last the
city of Baltimore was visited with damaging
flood from the streams which for many miles
back drain the neighboring hills through the
city into that estuary Of. the sea known as
Patapsco river. These floods are no unusual
thing in Baltimore, and the experience of this
last one ought to suffice to teach the city au-
thorities the necessity of providing ample
ways Of escape for these summer freshets
from the neighboring hills.

Turkey and Crete-Mr. Summers Resolutions


AS chairman of the Committee on Foreign
Relations Mr.. Sumner, On Tuesday last, re-
ported in the Senate joint resolutions appeal
ing to the Turkish government in behalf of the
people of Crete. The resolutions had been
unanimously recommended by the committee.
1t was not unnatural that they should have
been adopted by the House. We cannot say
that there is anything in the resolutions spe-
cially offensive. 1t is natural and proper that
we should sympathize with struggling nation
alities 1t is all the more natural when the
nationality in question is of the Greek race
and bound to us by sympathes that spring
from common religion. We do honor to all
generous motives whatsoever and by whOmso-
ever. revealed and nationalities struggling
for political and religious freedom have no
warmer friend and advocate than the HERALD.
When, however, we take action in a cause like
this of Turkey and Crete we do 80 in time.
We advocated the cause of Crete 80 long as to
us it seemed a just cause. We have ceased to
advocate that cause since we became fully
convinced that what is called the cause of
Crete is the result of foreign intrigue rather
than native disaffection and that since the
Sultan entered on the path of reform Crete has
really no cause of complaint. Mr.. Summers
resolutions, therefore, amiable as they are,
are little late and somewhat unnecessary.
So long as the Turkish government shows itself
equal to the management of its own affairs it
is not for Mr. Sumner or for the government
of the United States to read it any lessons.
The Sultan has put down rebellion within his
own domains. We cannot say we have done
more. 1t is not, therefore, beyond the province
of the government of the Sultan, acting in the
spirit of these resolutions, coolly to respond by
telling us to ''mind our own business This
system of nation rendering advice to nation is
pretty well played out in the Old World. 1t is
not worth while beginning it in the New. It is
characteristic of the Hub of the Universe to
be in lecturing sympathy with all the world.
We have no desire to see this becoming q
characteristic of the United States. If in this
matter we are to advise Turkey we must have
few words also for Greece and Russia; for
they, too, are to blame. If we are to have
lectures, let us be generous and just

lions, In the printing press and in the electric
telegraph. The steamboat will be seen in its

immense rivers and lakes. The country will
be intersected with railroads, and electric wires
innumerable will act as the swift messengers Of

will be completed, and American enterprise
will rush with increasing volume to do for
those countries what for some years they will
not be able to do for themselves--to supply
them with steam engines, with steamboats,, with
mills, with machinery of all sorts to construct
their railroads and their telegraphs. Our re-
lations with Asia are destined year by year

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
SUNDAY, Oct II, 1863

SUNDAY, Oct. II, 1868
The gold market had declining tendency during
sne whole OF last week, owing 70 the persistent ops
rsions OF the bears, and sales were made aiter Inc
adjournment OF the board yesterday as low ~ 1879,
although this price was bid nc the close. The ex-
treme fluctuations were limited 70 two and hsn
per cent the highest point touched having been i4o,
on Monday morning The daily volume OF transac-
tons was large and the current OF speculation was
almost entirely for fall, the purchases made being
almost entirely TO cover short' contracts. The
mercantile community shared In the bearish feeling
Of the Gold Room and, usual, borrowed instead OF
bought their gold for customs duties, and the pre-
vously heavy hortn interest was largely increased.
On Saturday afternoon the spectators manufac-
tured q rumor, without the slightest foundation In
fact to the erect that the Treasury would on Mon
day invite bids for nve millions OF gold, and for
some time previously they had been discounting the
effect Of republican majorities In Pennsylvania at
the elections Tuesday. The consequence Is that
when the actual result becomes known II win be
discovered that 1t was over discounted and the
premium will react upward. n Ia needless TO say
that the same men are '.bearngn gold now who were
'bung" 1t at $50, and that no changes OF material
character have occurred In the meantime to cause
Shis wide 1uctuation. There was nothing to justify
the advance to that point and there has been little
since beyond speculation To produce the de-
cline Both the rise and the fall nave proved
disturbing to trade and grave public evil by un-
settling values, and the only gamers have been
the SPECTATORS, who would like nothing better than
to be able to ten per cent nuctuation in gold
every day. 1t is mistake to suppose that the inter-
ests Of the country are any more promoted by
speculative fall in the premium than by speculative
rise, for both are temporary and equally damaging
70 the business community, who require stability In
the standard OF values, without which trade becomes
no less hazardous than speculation. 1t Is NO sign
That the public credit has improved because the pre-
MUM ia nearly twelve per cent lower than IL was
three months ago, and 1t affords no evidence that 1t
viii not be much higher In three months to come,
supposng that any disturbing element Ia at work,
either at home or abroad, In the meantime. The
customs receipts at the port during the week slightly
exceeded g. 1850 O0o or but little more than the
age loss Of specie by the city banks. There was
actual borrowing demand for coin from the bears
and rates favored the lender. The daily range OF
the market was as understated.--
