The Feniaus.

Our dispatches to-day merely record the
closing scenes of the great fzzle. Gleason
and Lindsey have both been arrested at
Malone, and, except in out of the way places,
the forces Of the Irish republic are preparing
for the route homeward. General Meade is
on the border, with plenty of United States
troops, and even the bold ''soger boys" whom
O'Neill led will not think of contesting the
right of way into Canada against both Yankee
and Canadian foes. The end is therefore at
hand, although New Jersey and San Francisco,
being rather distant from the seat of war, do not
seem to think so. Jersey continues to send
forward reinforcements with the confidence
of assured success, and the San Francisco
brotherhood are contemplating an attack on
British Columbia as diversion in favor of
O'Neill and his army. As one outcropping Of
the ill-considered movement it is noticeable that
one of the Philadelphia head centres, J..
w. Gibbons, has issued a manifesto disowning
the defeated braves in the name of his branch
of the brotherhood. In this, as in nearly all
other movements outside of the one legitimate
one of freeing Irish soil by war in Ireland
itself, the Fenians have shown themselves to
be nobody's enemy but their own. The tiasco
just ended, although no doubt frightening the
Canadians until their bodies were as blue as
their noses, has mainly reacted on themselves
in dissensions and ridicule.

Widows, Claims in Congress.

1t is to be hoped, for the credit of the gov
ernment, that the House bill granting the little
pension of three thousand a year to the widow
of Abraham Lincoln will yet be taken up and
passed by the Senate. The adverse report OF
the committee ofthat body on the-subject does
not meet the case. Whether Mrs. Lincoln has
or has not means sufficient to enable her TO
live respectfully in an obscure village OF Ger
many, where living is very cheap, is not the
question, but it is simply this: AS the widow
Of our murdered President, whose life was lost
in the public service, has not Mrs. Lincoln
claim upon the government which nothing
short of the moderate pension Of the House
bill will settle? We think that Congress should
have granted her, without quibblng, the salary
for the whole four years second term OF
service for which President Lincoln was
elected and upon which he had entered when
he was slain. AT any rate the pension pro-
posed by the House is small enough, and we
dare say that the Senate will not get rid OF
that little bill, which ought to be paid, until
they pay it. The objections of the Senate
committee are frivolous and contemplate, and
properly have nothing to do with the case
Then there is the claim of the widow of the
late General Gates, which, we apprehend, is
neglected by Congress because the poor
woman has not the means whereby to engage
the Washington lobby nor the inclination to do
so, but is disposed rather to rely upon the
justice of Congress and the merits Of her case.
And again, there is the long outstanding and
unsettled claim of Mrs. McCauley, widow OF
the former United States Consul General
McCauley in Egypt claim for moneys, &C.,
expended in the public service for which the
poor widow ought to be indemnfed whether
the sum, justly due, and for which she has
legal claim, be large or small. There have
been and are many claims, we know, made
upon Congress for relief and compensation for
losses and damages which are spurious or
extravagant but they should not be made the
excuse for neglecting claims like those we
have recited, the fairness and validity of which
are fully established; and Of all claimants
upon the government the poor widows Of
faithful public. officers who have died leaving
the government in their debt are among those
whose claims should first be recognized. acted
upon and paid.

BACKWARD PRoGREss-It is stated that the
Chicago Board Of Education contemplates a
reduction in the compensation paid to school
teachers. This is the very worst thing that
can be done in comparatively new country
''Poor pay poor teach is new reading of an
old Indian saw. School teachers, considering
the great amount of good they are expected to
accomplish, are, as general thing, the most
poorly remunerated of any class of educated
professionals. But there is one school in
Chicago which common report says flourishes
there in an uncommon degree. That is the
''School for Scandal" in which teachers and
experts are both numerous and well cultivated.

squandered in subsidies aud gwindling land
grants, attempt to prate about tho necessity OF
curtailing the extravaganza Of navy officers.
Mr. Scoaeld placed the matter in its true light
when he spoke Of the members in question as
scolds who were berating the naval authori-
ties for merely asking for the necessary
funds to carry on republican administration.
These same gentlemen will find their Nemesis
in the organized labor movement that is des-
tined to sweep them from the political arena
like chaff before the wind. There are now
nearly million and half skilled laborers In
this country out of employment, and the Navy
Department has done more to relieve their dis
tresses than any other institution in the coun-
try. Had the department been let alone II
would have continued to employ the same
number Of men throughout the year, and at
least seven thousand families would have been
saved from want This we know from good
authority.
The Navy Department has asked no money
from Congress- it has had no deficiency bills,
and only asked to use what money it had on
hand, and when the honorable member from
Massachusetts, returns to his constituents 1t is
to be hoped that he will be able to face them
with good grace and answer the questions
that will be asked him. He ia 80 good at
figures that we have no doubt he will succeed
in pacifying his constituents, provided General
Butler is not on hand to correct his statements
and figures, which sometimes most egregiously
err

Mormon Poiygamy-Orson Pratt In Reply
20 Dr. Newman.

TO Dr.. Newman.
In another place in this days HERALD will
be found long and well written document In
the shape Of letter addressed to us by Orson
Pratt, Sr, in reply to sermon delivered by
DR.. Newman in the Metropolitan Methodist
church, Washington, on Sunday, the Gath OF
April, and which was printed in full in tho
HERALD Of the following day. The letter will
no doubt be read with interest by our million
of readers, and it is certain to be reproduced
in every paper of any consequence throughout
the length and breadth Of the land. There
are those who will sympathizc with the views
advanced by the Mormon Apostle Most men
will admit that they are clearly put, and that
Mr.. Pratt has made as good case as 1t is
possible to make. Unless however, we
greatly mistake, the arguments of the Nor
mon Apostle will fall fat on the great mass OF
the American people. 1t was felt by all who
heard or read DR.. Newman's discourse that
he had exhausted the subject, that he
had stated the whole case fairly,
that his arguments were conclusive, and
that he had proved that Mormon polygamy
was not only not sanctioned, but condemned
by Scripture. We do not see that the argu-
ment built up by DR.. Newman has been
shaken in the least by all that Mr.. Pratt has
written. On this subject, indeed, our minds
are all made up, and it is not possible for any
Mormon sophistry to stem the tide OF feeling
which is setting in against this remaining
'srelic of barbarism." Mr.. Pratt concludes
his letter by an appeal to the ladies of tho
United States but we question whether, II
our women's rights women were even more
numerous, more foolish and more powerful
than they are, they would give these Mormon
doctrines any substantial support. 1t is our
opinion that both DIR. Newman and Mr.. Pratt
would do better if they would look at the ques-
ton more exclusively from New Testament
standpoint In the New Testament the teach
ing is clear. In our Christian civilization no
place is left for polygamic institutions.

DECORATION DAY.-This is the day ap-
pointed in many places for the decoration Of
Union soldiers graves with flowers. Still, let
us hope at the same time that the living Grip
pies from the war and the widows and orphans
of soldiers dying in the public service will
not be forgotten.

ADVICE GRATIS TO THE STATE OF YER
MoNT.-There seems to be some higgling
among the authorities of Vermont in regard
to paying the expense of sending off the
Fenian raiders who have recently centred
upon her borders. Vermont would act wisely
if she gets rid of these amiable adventurers
with the least delay possible. Otherwise, in
the absence of any chance to capture plunder
in Canada, they may take notion to pay un-
timely visits to the sheep pastures and hen
roosts of the farmers of the vicinity.

AN AGENT OF THE BELGIUM 7 ELEGRAPH
CABLE COMPANY has presented memorial to
Congress for permission to land one end of the
cable on American shores, subject to State
jurisdiction and such rules as Congress may
establish. AS no land grants, subsidies or
money are asked Of the government for the
purpose, 1t will be a shame if the permission
is not given by Congress at least as readily as
the House gave incompatible acres to the
Northern Pacific Railroad last week.

MASSACHUSETTS GIVING WAY ON TIE LIQtoR
QUESTION. Our last accounts from the Massa-
chusetts Legislature say they have modified
their liquor bill so as to permit not only some
indulgence in lager beer, but likewise in porter,
ale, strong beer and wines. Is this small
matter for the descendants of those pious
Puritans who used to shut up their hives of
bees on Saturday night to keep the thoughtless
bees from working on Sundav9

PRIM OR SERRANo.-The question of king
for Spain appears to be narrowed down at last
to Prim or Serrano. Serrano has declined in
favor of Prm, and Prim declines in favor Of
Serrano. They both see, perhaps, that the
great struggle between the monarchy and the
church on the one side and the republic on
the other is coming, and they both shrink
from it. Short of this struggle, however, the
revolution in Spain will not be finished.
The New York herald., 1870-05-30

The MoRMoNs seem disposed to be surly
and churlsh in their dealings with the United
States officials. Some time ago they closed
the court room Of a federal Judge while he was
temporarily absent, and more recently they
refused to let United States prisoners be con-
fined in the Salt Lake City Jail. The Nor
mons ought surely to understand that they
have sort Of judgment suspended over them,
as it were, in the Cullom bill, and any overt
act on their part will cause it to fall, and they
should therefore be especially careful.

MeRn Radical Dodge to Catch the Negro

Vote.
At recent election for Town Commission
ers in Chestertown, Maryland, the negroes
carried the day by one Of the meanest species
of fraud that the fifteenth amendment has yet
produced. According to the charter of the
to be freeholders. Out of the one hundred
and fifty darlxies who desired to march to the
polls not more than two or three could point
to foot of land they possessed. But this
being the first election at which the negroes
were to vote in Kent county the emergency
required that they should deposit their bal
lots, right or wrong. Hence the fraud we
refer to. 1t happened that there was one
negro in Chestertown who owned small and
worthless patch Of land adjacent to the river.
This he divided into lots Of one foot square
and made deeds of it to his fellow colored
would-be voters. AS a consequence one hum
dred and fifty negroes, representing just one
hundred and fifty feet of land, went to the
polls and claimed and secured votes as free
holders and elected their ticket. The whole
thing-which throws the repeating frauds in
New York entirely in the shade-was engi-
neered by radical politicians. Naturally
enough, the bona tide freeholders Of Kent
county are highly indignant at the outrage; !;
but there appears to be no help for them, and
they are obliged to look forward to the day
when ''white man will be as good as mig
ger' in reality"

THE CUBAN PoLIoY.-It is limited in Wash
ington that Secretary Fish will have to back
water on his foreign policy when the report Of
the House Committee in reference to Cuba
comes up, which may be tomorrow. 1t seems
that he was rather indignant that the republi-
can members did not defend him in the spon-
taneous discussion that sprang up on the ques-
ton last Tuesday, and he recently said as
much to General Banks, who, however,
declined to act as his apologist in the matter.
The House is strongly in favor Of some aid to
Cuba without regard to any partisan questions,
and il is thought that such an impressive dis
cussion will ensue on Banks report that Fish
will be thrown high and dry out Of the State
Depaxtment.

WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH THE BUILD
INas IN WAsHINGToN-A Western corres-
pondent, who is in favorsof removing the
national capital to some point on the plains
between the Mississippi river and the Rocky
Mountains, says the buildings in Washington
could be rendered useful. The Capitol, he
thinks, would make an excellent asylum for
decayed politicians. The Treasury Building
he would appropriate as refuge for free love
philosophers and afinities of both sexes. The
Patent Office would be well suited for the
support of worn out women's rights women,
while the remaining public edi6ces would
come in very well as sheltering places for the
leaders of all the other played out sms of the
country.

THE CANADIAN RED RIVER EXPEDITION.
The British Canadian steamer which, with the
troops on board, destined for the Red River or
Winnipeg Country, was allowed at last to
pass through the Sault Ste. Marie Canal,
arrived at Fort William, Lake Superior, last
Saturday. Fort William is military station
connecting with the chain of little forest lakes
which along the United States boundary run
westwardly to the great Lake of the Woods,
from which, with short portage, there is
water communication to the Red River and
Lake Winnipeg. This Canadian expedition,
by canoes which will be carried by the men
across the portages, will take this route. and
the distance, from five to six hundred miles,
will require, perhaps, month or more of this
rough navigation. The expedition will doubt
less result, however, in steam communication
with the Winnipeg basin by land or water or
both, thus opening new, large and fertile
region to settlement and profitable industry
from both sides Of the line and looking to
manifest destiny"

and sea, in storm and battle, and all earned
by the sweat of the brow.
Those gentlemen who claim to lead the
republican party in the House, and who show
their devotion to its principles by endeavoring
to find fault with the administration, have Q
hard record to settle with the yeomanry who
will meet them on their return home. The
great associations Of workingmen, that extend
all over the United States, will call them to a
strict account for the bitter hostility that
members have displayed against the encour-
agement Of labor inaugurated by the Navy
Department, whereby thousands Of manned
soldiers found food and shelter within the gates
of our navy yards When the present Navy
Department came into power it at once set
thousands of skilled mechanics to work who
had been on the verge of starvation for want
of employment. Twelve thousand men were
employed in our navy yards, at reasonable
rates of pay, and at an expense of three
million five hundred thousand dollars less
than four thousand eight hundred mon were
employed by Mr.. Welles administration. This
is shown by the figures quoted by Messrs. Hale
and Sargent-fgures that they no doubt OBJ
tanned from the books of the different naval
bureaus. This result was due to proper
system Of organization, an honest application
of the government funds and faithful account
of the whole. Yet, in the face of all this,
members, some Of whom recommend that
millions of tho ueople's money should be
