ST. ALBANs, VT, May 2s.-Everything
i, quiet here to-day How to get rid of the
remaining Fenans is the only question
that now troubles the citizens The Unit
ed States government refuse to take the
matter out of the hands of the civil au-
thorties and the civil authorities refuse
10 take the responsibility Of paying for
their transportation. The Railroad man
ayers insist on being paid for returning
them to their homes. General Meade is
inclined TO censure the people here more
than they deserve. He says that they
have to great extent sympathized with
the Fenians and knew that they were max
ing preparation to invade Canada, storing
arms and ammunition near the border line.
The St. Adams people justify themselves
by saying the Government was equally well
aware Of it and that it was IS hours after
the movement begun before anything was
done to hinder it.
General Meade and his party have gone
to Malone. General Spear is ill here.

New Last Night
TORONTO, May 2s.-All was quiet last
night. Only 100 Fenians are reported in
camp at Trout River. Eight Fenians were
killed and twenty wounded yesterday.
All is quiet on the Niagara and Detroit
frontiers but an ample force will be kept
to defend all the borders Of the Dominion
from marauding bands wandering near the
lines unable to return home.
The excitement has almost ceased and
business is rapidly resuming its former
condition,
The Fenian raid is looked upon As a
complete and ridiculous failure,

of money. His agents in Paris and London
have Just put upon the market loan in his
name of fve millions of pounds, which has
not been very eagerly taken up; and it is quite
as likely, to say the least that the rumors now
current of his warlike concentrations with
Russia have been set afoat for the purpose of
clearing" out of sight this new appeal for
funds, as that they really represent any
serious diplomatic and military combinations
making or to be made. The Russian exche-
quer, we may add, is not in a much better
condition than the Egyptian; while the
Turkish Government has not for many years
past been so we'll prepared as it now is TO
meet hostilities, either in the Black Sea or in
the Levant. But not the less for this will the
atmosphere of Constantinopfe continue to be
full of peril for inexperienced American di-
plomatists, eager to get their fingers into fas-
cinating plIgts of gloro, if not into promising
pies of gain. The Levant is now as it was
when the word 'Levanter" first came into use
to designate a scamp who quilted his country
for his country's good, a kind of Texas of
Europe. Thither flock in all times and
particularly in times so volcanic and
troublous as our own, all sorts of ad-
venturers from all sorts of lands. There the
restless diplomacy of Northern and Western
Europe is ceaselessly at work seeking to
profit by old difficulties or to invent new
ones Now that the importance of the United
States is more clearly recognized than it had
ever been before, American ENJOYS in Turkey
will certainly find themselves exposed to
seductions and solicitations which it greatly
concerns our national character, if not our
national welfare, that they should be able
wisely to measure, to understand, and to
evade. 1t is beautiful illustration, is it not
of the working of popular institutions that a
post involving such perils and demanding

his trout-fshing host as carelessly as duke
doms and marquisates were lavished of old
by kings born in the purple upon the nephews
of their ministers or the cousins of their

pointment of Commissioner Wells--it is nov
half ashamed Of, and will, unless well watched,
let him go in July.
With regard to the leading foreign ques-
tions, it has deliberately flung the Alabama
question into a slough from which we doubt
if any man in this generation will see it ex-
tricated leaving the individual sufferers to
suck their thumbs; and with regard to Cuba,
il has taken neither good filibustering
ground nor good legal ground, and, while not
supporting the Administration, has recoiled
from prescribing any change of policy. 1t
has purchased Alaska and then refused to
purchase st. Thomas, after the Executive
had struck bargain for it, leaving the world
in some doubt as to what its views about ex-
pansion are In short, the main claim of the
present Congress to popular gratitude con-
sists in its greater freedom from corruption
than some of it's predecessors, in spite of the
poor element it has received from the South;
but here again its virtues have been of the
negative order, which in party in power are
only one degree better than vices.
We are sorry to say all this, because we
heartily agree with all that we hear about the
inferiority of the Democratic party; but the
country can never be persuaded very long to
content itself with a government which
simply refrains from doing evil, and keeps
out worse men; and it is time the majority
in Congress were made to understand clearly
that their performances are far from giving
satisfaction. Plain speaking on sthe subject
is all the more necessary because a good
many of the Republican politicians are just
now going about trying to cover up their own
shortcomings by saying "that Grants admin
istration is failure" evidently with a view
of making this proposition do duty as an ex-
planation of the rebuffs the party is meeting
with in various parts of the country. What the
administration has failed in, except in dis
tributing offices to the satisfaction of politi-
clans, we have never yeti heard explained, and
do not expect to hear. Its great mistake in
this, however, has lain in its trying to mix up
two totally different principles of selection
that of merit and party requirements. The
result has unquestionably been unfortunate,
but small blame to the President.

Our secular as well as religious readers will
doubtless take an interest in a queer dispute
that is going on among our English cousins
in Parliament, as it affords a sufficient index
to the state not only of piety but civilization
in that little isle. We all know that the duty
of conveying the bread of life to perishing
souls has ordinarily in England been COM
mitted to the hands of the third sons of
families among the gentry; the Lords service
being lucrative, and only less respectable in
public esteem than that of the King, for
which the second son was destined, or the
keeping up the family name and estates,
for which highest duty the heir was proVi-
dentially born. Matters being thus plea
sanity arranged, no difficulty usually has
occurred When in case the third son failed

THE UNITED STATES IN THE EAST

From the ~ Y. World.
1t is by no means creditable to the Senate
that it should not have imposed the check of
its authority upon President Grants trihing
with our diplomatic service, by suspending,
for time at least, his recent appointment of
an unknown Pennsylvania attorney to super
sede Mr.. Morris in the post of American
Minister at Constantinople. The name of
Mr.. McVeigh son-in-law of Senator Cameron,
with whom the President has Just been en-
joying the agreeable sport of trout-fshing,
was sent into the Senate on Saturday morn
ing, and on Saturday afternoon Mr.. McVeigh
was confirmed as our Envoy near the Sublime
Porte.
The best thing that can be hoped for now
is that as Mr.. McVeigh is probably ignorant,
we will not say of the Semitic tongues only,
but of the Western languages also most in
use in the Levant, he may play the compare
lively harmless part of a mute outside of the
harem in Stamboul. Mr.. Brown, the accom-
plished dragoman and Secretary of our Lsga-
ton in Turkey, is likely, we presume, to be
retained in the post which he has filled so
respectfully; and while he remains at Constan-
tinople the United States Government may at
least be saved from getting itself ignorantly
and absurdly complicated in the dangerous
whirl of Eastern affairs. This is the more to
be desired that all things point to the proba-
bility of early and serious developments in
connection with the chronic and feVerlSh
Question of the Orient" We do not
attach any particular importance, indeed,
to the rumors which reach us of an
impending alliance between Egypt and
Russia, for the purpose of finally tearing
asunder the empire of the Ottomans. That
the Khedive of Egypt is sorely dissatisfied
with the apologetic and submissive position
in which he was left by the unlucky issue of
his attempt to convert the opening of the
Suez Canal into an opportunity for achieving
practical Independence of his suzerain, the
Sultan, is undoubtedly true. Equally true is
it that he has for some time past been invit-
ing into Egypt officers of various nationali-
| ties, for the double purpose of recognizing
his army and of enabling him to shake of the
exclusively French tutelage under which he
has long been laboring Distinguished Ame-
rican soldiers, both Federal and Confederate,
have thus been called into his service. But
tho KhediVe is at this moment sorely in want

GRANTS MESSAGE
What the President Thinks of the Euro
psan War--.He Defines a Policy,
and Asks Congress to Sit
Awhile Longer.

WASHINGTON, July 15.-The Presi-
dents message was received by both
Houses to-day as follows:
TO tie Senate and House Of RepreSell-
t1tireS:
Gentlemen: Your attention is re-
spectfully called to the necessity of
passing an Indian Appropriation bill
| before the members of Congress sepa-
/ rate. Without such an appropriation
Indian hOstilities are sure to ensue,
and with them suffering, loss of life
and expenditures, vast as compared
with the amount asked.
The latest intelligence from Europe
indicates the imminence of war be-
tween France and North Germany.
In view of this, q sound policy would
indicate the importance of some legis-
lation tending to enlarge the CONNER
cial marine of this country. The ves-
sells of this country at the present time
are insufficient to meet the increase
which the existence of a war in Eu-
rope would impose on the commerce
of the United States, and submit to
the consideration of Congress that the
| interests of the country will be ad-
vanced by the opportunity offered to
our citizens to purchase vessels of for
eign construction for the foreign trade
of the country; and an act to this
effect may be limited in its deviation to
meet the immediate exigencies of the
| foreign mail service of the United
States, in large degree dependent on
the Bremen and Hamburg lines of
steamers, the Postoffice Department
has executed contracts in writing with
the two companies above named and
with the Williams and Guion line,
respectively, for regular and con-
| tinuOus service of years. The only
arrangement that could be made with
| the Inman and Cunard lines is tenn
porary, and may be broken at any
time. The North German. lines are
first-class in point of speed and equip
ment, their steamers usually making
| trips across the Atlantic in from
twenty-four to twenty-six hours in
advance of the Williams and Guion
line. Should the North German
steamers be blockaded or impeded by
France, our postal interests with
foreign nations will, be greatly en-
barrassed unless Congress interposes
| for its relief. suggest to Congress
the propriety Of further postponing
the time for adjournment with view
of considering the question herein
| communicated, &
