A warning has been given to the United
States Government of a contemplated raid on
Canada from the Vermont frontier, to take
place on the 18th. We presume that none but
Fenians, and those of the widest character,
intend to make dash at the crisis in this
alarming way What will Canada do in this
extremity Will she send her army under
Major Gen. Lindsay to the Winnpegs7 What
will President Grant do. after being warned in
this startling manner? What should he not
do Every Fenian will, therefore, consider
himself cautioned that raid on Canada is
practically raid On the United States. But
first, let us find our Fenians.

Mr.. Chief-Justice Chase is assaed for in
consistency with his previous record as Secre-
tary of the Treasury in his late decision against
the constitutionaity Tin parD of tho Legal
Tender act. The inconsistency exists chiefly
in the imaginations of people who occupy
themselves in attempting to prove that abstract
propositions must be wrong because officers
who now believe them once believed something
different. In point of fact, Mr.. Chase, when
Secretary of the Treasury, put on record in an
official communication to Congress precisely
the opinion which he now declares judicaly.
We quote from his communication to Congress
of Dec. 4, 1862: "The Secretary recommends,
therefore, no mere paper money scheme, but,
"on the contrary, series of measures looking
"to safe and gradual return to gold and
"silver as the only permanent basis standard
"and measure of values recognized by the
Constitution, between which and an ire
"deemable paper currency, as he believes, the
"chOIce is now to be made"

While many of the earnest friends of Cuba are
deploring what they deem an abandonment of
their cause, it is satisfactory to read the very
significant extracts from Spanish organs which
we print elsewhere One of these papers is sup
posed TO have the confidence of Marshal Prim !;
both are agreed that though the Cuban rebellion
may now be considered suppressed or nearly
so, the Antillean troubles of Spain have not yet
ended. They see that the cause which has
plotted for fifty years past will plot for fifty
years to come if need be, and fight again and
again. They know by btterest expert
ence what are the perils of perpet-
ual guerillero strife in country Of
hearty haters who have woods and mountains
to help them. La Discussion recognizes that
ideas are eternal and cannot be stamped out.
What, then, shall be dnef asks Marshal
Prims organ. Cede the country to the United
States answers the other. Bat how shall this
be brought aboutf asks La Discussion. Here
begins the mystery. We remember the Old
proposition of Cuba to purchase herself, the
United States becoming security; and we per

Senator Nye of Nevada is not only in favor
of annexing San Domingo, but all the islands
of the West Indies. We should like to know,
however, if he is in favor of purchasing all
these islands and paying for them. We might
perhaps get Hayt cheap but when we came

their West India possessions, we fear we should
be unable to purchase-unless Nevada permitted
us to use her resources very freely. Denmark

The Mobile Register is extremely DESTROYS of
"redeeming Alabama from the Radicals"
There are two ways of doing this: by voting
and by fighting. 1t is inexpressibly gratifying
to find, however, that of fighting The Register
for the present has had as much as it can
digest. With sort of vague valor, it proposes
"to fight another day." but just now the vote
is a practicable and lawful weapon the
" time not being ripe for fighting" We heartily
commend the wisdom of The Register. 1t is
our opinion that the more the ex patriarchs OF
Alabama vote, the less they will care for fight
ing; for should they beat at ballots their souls
will be serene and should they be beaten,
they will SEQ the folly Of going to war, with
the disparity of numbers indicated by ma
iOrity.

The Fifth-ave. Conference of the friends of
Woman Suffrage, seeking union of the differ
ent societies, found yesterday what has been
discovered aforetime, that when two ride the
same horse one must ride behind. The Cleve-
land organization was quite willing for
union by the process of absorption. The
New-York Society was quite willing
for union, but did not wish to be absorbed.
Finally, Mr.. Curtis Mr.. Higginson, and Mrs.
Lucy Stone retired; whereupon the rest pro-
ceeded to new organization, headed by
Theodore Tlton. 1t remains to be seen
whether this is to be the third, second, or only
one in the field

THE REPREsEYTAT1ON or MIyORITIEs

THE REPRESENTATION or MTNORITIES.
Dir. David Dudley Field delivered lecture
in Boston the other evening on the projects of
electoral reform which are commonly described
under the term representation of minorties :;
but he well remarked that his topic was really
the representation of the whole people. Theo-
retcally legislation in the United States is the
will of the majority as expressed through their
representatives. Practically it often happens
that representatives of small minority are
the governing power, while another minority
has no representatives at all. In the State of
NewYork in 1863 the Democrats had popular
majority of 1851, but elected only Sc members
of Assembly, while the Republicans elected
70. In Maryland the Democrats cast O2,357
votes and elected every member of both
Houses al in alb, while the Republicans
pollod 30,43S votes and elected nobody. In
California the Republicans cast a majority of
SIC votes. but only elected 20 members. while

We do not know that it is any particular
benefit to mankind that the Colt Firearms

very easily concealed, being only four and

invention to carry in their petticOat pockets.

cure the appointment e. his son, CURTIS
PARKE UPsHUR, to the Naval Academy at
Annapolis The accused pleaded not guilty,
but the evidence was concll usive. A part of
it was his own testimony, taken before the
Committee Of the House, in which he stated
that, having endoavored in vain to get his
son appointed tothe Naval Academy in the
regular manner, he finally CHANGED upon q
different means. as follows:
"While very anxious about the matter and almost
despairng, saw an advertisement cut from New

and sent to me by the Chief Of Yards and DOCKS,
Capt. AAuEE, an old friend of mine. lie wrote 10
me that, knowing how anxious was TO get my son
appointed, he sent me that clipping that while he
considered 1t very dishonOrabe 10 sell such posi-
ton, still every other means had Jailed, perhaps
there was a chance Of obtaining II in this way"
In his defence before the Court, Command
er UPsnUR argued that there was nothing
in the facts which could constitute conduct
unbocomng an officer in view of the rules
and articles of war for the government ofthe
navy. The Court found, in regard to each of
