In an article on the British American
provinces, the London Times ignores the dis
atisfaction with the existing confederacy and
avs: "If the mass of the people should here
after desire to enter the American Union, Of
which there is no proof or symptom, England
will assuredlv not lift finger to prevent it:
and, unless the mass Of the population should
desire it, the United States can have no wish
70 receive them. Whether they gravltate IN
that direction by natural law. and are des-
tined one day to obey the centripetal force,
we are not concerned to inquire. At present
they prefer confederation under the British
monarchy, aud they ought to know their own
interests"

The influence of Senator Fenton in the
matter OF revenue appointments has brought
down upon him the righteous wrath of some of
his enemies in his own party who recently
seemed inclined to pass by the grave charges
OF corruption against the Ex-Governor. The
New York Evening Pos brings the ponderous
weight of it's denunoit lion to crush the new
senstor Just as he is about entering upon the
enjoyment OF the privileges Of position which
is alleged to have cost him no small sum. The
Post publishes and emphasizes the recent tes-
timony before the railroad committee at
Albany, in which it was stated that
$4,000 was paid 10 friend of Fenion
on an agreement that the Erie Railroad
bill sh Juld be signel the same day-whch
WAS done within three hours. This conduct
the Post calls "such as an houest administra-
ton of the laws would look upon with horror,
and the very suspicion Of which he would repel
with indignation" But since there is great
deal more than suspicion in Fenton's case
sworn evidence in fact-the Post suggests that
the Senate ought to cxpel the honorable gen.
tleman from New York; but since there is TO
possibility Of such an impartial act, it demands
that at least the President will give orders 10
exclude Fenton from all intercourse with the
departments. This is evidently whore the
shoe pinches. Fonton has had altogether too
much to say about appointments, and the cor
ruptio OF his record which was so smoothly
covered up, is now brought out in ALI its mon-
strosity.
