THE FENIANs ON7TmE WAR PATH.

The st. Paul Press published letter
from Duluth, which says that large body
OF armed Fenians had arrived at the latter
place, eR route for Red River, to aid Riel
Each man is armed with breech-loading
rifle, pistol and knife. Their first stroke
will be the capture OF Fort Frances, on
Rainey Lake, which will be garrisoned by
few men, while the main force will har-
ass and dispute the passage of British
troops through the rivers, swamps and
mountains from Fort William 10 Red
River
At the proper time they will march
down and Join Riels forces. One party
has already started over land by the
Vermilion road. Another will soon follow
and third is preparing to go to the same
destination in canoes UiG st. Louis and
Vermilion rivers. Another large party is
reported at Superior River, which will
march directly west TO Red River.
The forces at Duluth are said to be
commanded by distinguished Confeder-
ate officer who fought General Banks in
the Louisiana campaign.
The men are nearly all eX-soldiers
Many French Canadians accompany them
and they have secured the services oi
several Indian and hslf-breed guides, and
one or two old employees of the Hudson
Bay Company, who are perfectly familiar
with the country TO he operated in. The
press does not vouch for the truth of the
above intelligence. Every thing is quiet
at Red River, and Riel is expecting favor.

GOV, ENGLIsH'S VIEWS ON NATION
AL AFFAIRS

The following synopsis of Gov. Eng
lish's inaugural on national matters, will
be found interesting, the more so as the
Governor is possible candidate of the
Democracy for the Presidency;
He refers to the fact that the National
Government has declared the fifteenth
amendment part of the National Con-
stitution, and says that as our State Con-
stitution makes provision only for the
voting of white citizens" he cannot see
how the colored men can vote without a
constitutional amendment striking oHt
the word white" and without making a
recommendation on the subject, he speaks
of the the manner IN which the fifteenth
amendment was adopted, and says ''the
fact is notorious that its claimed ratltica-
ton by the several States enumerated
among those requisite for its adoption was
accomplished by means of chlcanery and
force, which would properly vitiate con-
tract between one citizen and another
brought about by such means" Its OBJ
lect and effect, he SAYS, are revolutionary
and subversive of local government, and
the power it gives to Congress commits to
the general Government the absolute con-
troll of the right to vote IN every State,
'and the mockeries of the elections which
have, within the last few years, been held
in the Southern States under the bayonet
is a sufficient commentary upon the la
bihty to abuse Of such a power" He
further says of this State, that 'if the
State had the constitutional power to act
TO prevent the deprivation of this right,
should not hesitate to recommend 1t foI
your adoption, but the State is powerless
for that purpose" He refers to the Con-
gressional effort to reconstruct the South
and the measures adopted to secure q
partisan aseendency, and adds that ''it is
not surprising that the subject failed oi
its accomplishment, and though five years
have elapsed, the spectacle is presented oI
the oldest and largest State, filled with
an-intelligent population, still held by the
military arm" This is, he says, in vio-
lation of the principles of our government
and of the present age. and he indulges
the hope that during the session, in some
proper way, the Legislature will express
It's opinion for its influence upon the rep,
resentatives of the State In Congress thai
3 general amnesty for all merely pOlitica
offences should be forthwith proclaimed

THE DEMOcRATIC STATE CONVEN.
TION.
James H. Newcomer.

Our State Convention meets on the 7th
day of June next. We hope to witness a
full attendance from all parts of the state,
imbibed with the old Jackson fire and soul
that used to harbinger US on to victory.
The negro policy, the rotten corrupt and
depraved European financial policy, the
Infamous robbery of our public lands
with the extravsgant expenditures of the
imbecile and feeble Grant administration,
are amply sufficient to enable US to arouse
the people and carry the war into Africa
and effect the overthrow of all free love
Gseeley leaders.
Itis important in this connection that
the nominees of the convention should be
the right men and properly located. Let
these matters be properly attended to and
let strong and vigorous appeal be made
to the honest people of the State-to those
who in 1867 gave $1,000 majority against
Negro Suffrage. Let this be done thor
oughly and energetically and we have ev-
cry confidence the people of Ohio will
properly rebuke the corrupt negroizing
tyrants at Washington and elsewhere.
In casting about for gentlemen to place
in nomination for the various State posi-
tions we would suggest for that of Comp
troller of the Treasury, JAMES K. NEW
CONFER Esqr., of the C0nstit,ltiOnalist
published at Elyria. We feel like en-
couraging as able and worthy agentleman
as Mr.. Newcomer in his unselfsh work
and i'll requited labors in the cause. We
trust our neighbors of the press will favor
this recommendation for we assure our
friends that Mr.. Newcomer is gentleman
in the true sense of the term and is well
qualified for the position.

NEw YORK, May l3.-Daniel Mcfarland sends
the following to the Sun:
''To the Editor Of the Sun:
"SR-The pretended statement of my wife pub
lished in the Tribune, induces tO-send for pub
eatOn in the various journals in this city letters
which were written me by her at the several times
to which the pretended statement has reference.
at is asserted that was drunken brute, and
that was very cruel to my wife After reading
these letters the public will judge for ITSELF and
even without them consider that the verdict of
the jury justines my course, especially when il is
considered that the prosecution was unable TO
produce, upon the witness stand, single person
from the locality where lived during the great
er portion of our married life. or from any other
place. who could testify that l ever treated her
unkindly, OF spoke harsh word to her.
THE testimony that Mrs. Calhoun gave during
the trial materially conflicts with what she stated
in the Indiana divorce matter. She swore in In
rollment through the influence of herself and her
friends, and that was discharged for drunken
ness.
"I received the appointment of Commissioner
of Enrolment in April, 1868 nearly three years
before ever knew or heard Of Mrs. Calhoun, or
she of me. She testified, during the late trial that
part of 1885, or the beginning of 1856. ! was dis
charged from the position Of Commissioner OF
Enrollments in 1865, when she swore she became
acquainted with me. How, then, could she have
procured me that appointment in 1868?
II received an honorable discharge and was one
of the last of the Enrolment Commissioners in
this city mustered out of service.
Mr.. Samuel Sinclair, publisher of the Tribune
also swore in the recent trial that in the early part
of 1864 he saw me intoxicated once, and that nv
wife told him not to tell her father about it. Mr..
Sinclair was not acquainted with her father. Mr.
Sage had never seen him for years after the date
mentioned in his (Sinclair's) testimony which In
other respects varied materially, and against me
from that which he gave in the hdbeds cOTuas case
in Massachusetts. This testimony in both cases
is matter of Judicial record.

The train left Eureka slowly, and pro-
ceeded only about mile when he saw the
extra train dashing round bluff under
full headway, only from four to five hun
dred yards of. Jackson whistIed down
the breaks, reversed the engine, and gave
her sound. He told the conductor and
fireman to jump, and an istnant after the
train came together with the freight train
at full force, and with the appalling result
jackson in jumping from the engine was
hurled over a wood-pile, and found him
self thirty feet on the other side of the
fence. He did not lose his consciousness,
and was not seriously hurt. The collision
occurred on a fill about fifteen feet high.

passed but misapprehending his orders
or thinking he could reach Eureka before
