OTTAWA, May 2S.-The raid of 1870 may be
said to over, that the United States have inter
fered. 1t bears strong family likeness to its prede-
Of although in respects better managed
The preceding feint of a month ago, which caused
much futter such suspensions Of habeas corpus such
ordering of volunteers TO the 'front.' and which finally in
duced people to relax their vigilance and remain
cerned when the real "Wolf turned up, is precisely
like the fent March, 1866 The real attack the 25h
OF May brother to the Sunday crossing on the
of June, 1896 There the same gathering OF tho
clans at Malone and Buffalo, the general cleaning
ont of restaurants along the railway line the same
tumutuous advance into Canada for teU yards, fol-
lowed by neutrality proclamation, the arrest OF the
leader, short skirmish, and most ignoble and dis
orderly flight And long there gullible cham
bermaids long will Ireland be CELEBRATED" by flank
movements on Hinchinbrook, by of poultry,
and by cOnfiscaton of stray tablecutery without any
nice consideration to whether the hens and spoons
on one side Of the line the other In respect this
raid has rather successful than its prede-
cessors-the takatve leaders kept rather quiet
than is their wont, and so got good start.
Generally summed up, the results are small. The
Fenians did little-a very lttle-plunderng, burned
house two, badly punished by the volunteers
and home guards lost seven or eight killed and some
20 wounded and then incOntnenty took to their heels
srewing the roads with breechoaders, uniforms, and
other mpediments to their flight. The Canadians will
he put to an expense directly of 100000 but be-
yond loss time arrangement of business considerable
inconvenience and damage 20 property on the from
tier few slight wounds and ablebodied scare, they
have not suffered The volunteers came out enthusas-
tcaly and I'm good number despite the universal disgust
which they feel toward the nSgardy and jobbng Bu-
reau which manages them Home guards were formed
in the cities to replace them and independent COM
panes mustered after the manner Of Concord and Lex
incton in the districts directly menaced 1t was demon
sraed to the ample conviction of every one save lntc
tonal fools and like the Fcnian file and leaders,
that Canada can successfully resist any attack made
upon her, and that the invaders have to expect no sym
patly from the people among whom they come.
one or two incidents of the raid areineresting At
Montreal Prince Arthur called away from BAH at
Mr. Allans and went out volunteer on the stan OF
Lord Alexander Russell, after the manner OF his god
father the Duke of Wellington, at Brussels am sorry

any Fenans II he had, such triumphal reception as
the trooy lo" would have given him! Rome honorlhg

Prince may now considered qualified to h the post
Of Commandern- Chief OF the English army, for which
| he is destined.
At Montreal they got up home guards and prayer
meetings and the banks buried their bullion, anticipating

asses with large representation in the Tory press VINO
