before we were packed into the wagon, this

with crisp speeches, and plentiful exclama-

and finally ceased altogether. The heat and
stiffness were oppressive, and heavy clouds
hung over the snowy range, and we knew a

in st. Johnsbury, at Monument Square, to

The recent ridiculous demonstration OF
Fenianism along our northern border will
we trust, satisfy even the politicians that
Fenianism is, in this country, rather an ex-
pensive as well as dangerous luxury. And
we take this occasion to recall our readers
attention to some remarks on this subject
made by MR. WILLARD in Congress, which
were printed in the FREEMAN of March I'd,
and we hope to be able to give next week the
remarks made by him on the same subject
on the Sd and 4th of February last. The
sympathy which prominent men of both par
ties have from time to time expressed for
these Fenian raids on England and Canada
is productive of infinite mischief, not only to
this country, but to the deIuded Irishmen
themselves, and it cannot be too often or too
condemned.

The Judiciary Committee of the United
States Senate have recently reported upon a
petition from Rhode Island relating to the
right of suffrage there. b. the Constitution
of that State property qualification is pre-
scribed for those citizens who are not natives,
to entitle them to vote. The petition raised
the question whether by the fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments to the Constitution of
the United States, natives of foreign eoun-
tries who had become citizens of the United
States are not entitled to vote in Rhode Is
land without regard to the above qualiRca-
ton The Judiciary Committee report in
the negative, on the ground that the - priv
ileges and immunitIes " of citizens of the
United States, which the Fourteenth Amend
mont declares shall not be abridged by any
State, do not include the right of suffrage,
which is not part of citizenship, since wo-
men, children and criminals are . citizens. y
Neither is the Fifteenth Amendment opera
tive in the case, b ecause that only forbids
abridgement of suffrage on the ground of
g race, color ar previous condition of servi-
tude," none of which is the basis of the
property qualification of Rhode Island.

RELIEF FOR TRELAND.-W lille the Fenians
have just been trying a hand at the relief or
disenthrallment Of Ireland by invading and
oyerrunning Canada, the English House of
Commons has quietly passed alsneasnra hot
ter calculated 70 effect the happiness of the
Irish tenantry than anything likely to ems ne
from the raids of O'Neil on Canada The
House of Commons on Monday passed the
irish Land Bill, after warm and eloquent
speech from Mr.. Gladstone, and the bill was
Immediately sent to the House of Lords,
where it was read The Tribune has a di-
gest of the main features of the bill, and
comments on the same, which are substan-
tally correct, and which we give below
That the bill will give peace and prosper
ity to Ireland is not as certain Its most
ardent advocates have hoped but there is
little doubt that 1T VIII, in large measure,
mitigate the evils under which Irish tenants
have so long grOaned. In effect the bill sim
ply gives the Irish tenant right to his crop
and his improvements. Legally they have
always belonged to him, but the landlords
privilege of increasing rents exOrbitantly, OF
annulling leases without notice, gave them
the power of eiectment at will, to the loss of
the tenant. BY this law the tenant rights
to buy the land or to sell bis improvements
on " notice to quit - are settled. Interior
ence with the domestic affairs religious or
political concerns of a tenant are also prohib-
tied. The arbitrary powers of the landlord
are abridged the rights of the tenant are
enlarged. The British Government, for the
first time, Restraints the landlords and pro-
tects the tenants. Against landlords and
their professional agents the Irish have as
bitter prejudice as it is said the MaOris of
New Zealand have against soldiers by pro-
fessiOn. The New-Zealanders, according to
an English legend, never see men wearing
red garments, doing no work, neither buying
nor selling, and always with arms in their
hands, but they incontinently fall upon and
destroy them. The Irish have heretofore
had habit of extending like welcome to the
men who collect the rent, and the prejudice
in each instance seems to have been well
founded

The Fenian Invasion of Canada

When the FREEMAN went to press last
week the Fenian excitement was at fever
heat, and details of a fight between the
Canadians and the Fenians commanded by
Gen. O'Neil, were momentarily expected.
And indeed a skirmish was in actual pro-
gress at that moment. 1t appears that
on Wednesday morning the Fenian army
was marshaled and armed at Fairfield. 1t
consisted OF detachments from four regiments,
and numbered 500 men. Marching to Frank
lin, they halted mile or two this side of the
Line, and ammunition was distributed to the
soldiers Resuming their march, the Cana
dian militia were soon seen posted on the
other side The Fenians formed line of bat
tie, and marched into Canada. In attempt
ing to cross the bridge at Pixies river, very
near the line, they were fired upon by the
Canadians and slight engagement ensued,
resulting in the killing of three Fenians, the
wounding of five or six, and the falling back
of the remainder into Vermont. At this
juncture Gen. O'Neil, commanding the Fe-
mans. was arrested by U. s. Marshal Foster,
and carried to ST. Adams. The Fenian army
became greatly demoralized, but mostly re-
manned in Franklin at nightfall. During
the evening small party of Fenians which
had taken shelter behind barn, from
whence they could neither advance nor re-
treat, were enabled to get away from their
unsafe quarters, and the invasion of Can
ada from Vermont was ended for this time.
For two or three days after this skirmish
stray squads of recruits passed over the rail-
roads for - the 'front.' but the =" masterly
advance - seemed to be almost entirely on
the homes the poor, deluded Fenians had so
foolishly left. The men were in most cases
destitute of money to pay their transpOrta-
ton home, and as the Z. S. Government
refused to aid in the matter, it became nee
essary for the railroads and private individ-
uals to unite and provide the needed trans
portation to take these sons of Erin from the
scene of their inglOrious defeat.
1t should perhaps be stated that's attempt
to invade Canada was also made on Thurs
day from Malone, n. Y. The Fenians pene-
trated into the Dominion some two miles,
but encountering body of Canadian troops
near Huntington, on Trout River, were
driven back, with loss to the Fenians vari-
ously estimated at one to eight killed, several
wounded, and two OF three taken prisoners.
The Canadian troops pursued the fugitives to
the American line, and then went through a
most imposing dress parade, and afterwards
retired a mile from the line and encamped.
The Fenians at this point numbered some
600 men, while the Canadians were 1900
strong. Gov. Hoffman and citizens Of New
York have furnished transportation to the
poor Fenians, and most or all of them have
returned to the peaceful occupations of life.
The u s. Government have arrested many
of the Fenian officers for a breach of the
neutrality laws, and in default of bail com
mitted them to jail. Just now the late
farce seems entirely over, and quiet reigns
on the border.
