FenlnnlHiti.
Il will be seen that the Fenians, if they do
nothing more, have very well succeeded in
nonding a panic throughout Canada. In fact
they have proved themselves a brotherhood i
that demands some attention from tiie world.
Parliament ap]>ears to have aoiue apprehensions
of danger, And for prudential reasons
have again suspended the fiiibrai corpus in Ireland.
To us il appears a little amusing to 1
read the dispAtches from Toronto, Montreal .
and other Canadian points, nnd witness the I
nervousness and distraction which tho late 1
large mass meetings of tho Irish at the North t
have produced among these people. They '
certainly must have received some information
of Fenian movements that has never reached 1
us, to be thus thrown Into such a high state ,
of excitement. Tlicy have called out 80,000 (
militia, who are "sleeping on thoir arms,"
keen their railroad encines fired ut> day uud ; '
t
night, to be able to cuove troops to any point {
"at a moments notice," and at tlio same time J
we are not able to locate a single armed Fcni- >
an organization any where on her frontier.
If the Fenians are not playing a grand farce, t
it would appear prudent to use some prccnu- <
tion or tome preventive measures, but falling <
into such n paroxysm of excitement and fear, |
to ua, with our information, docs appear most t
puerile aud ridiculous. Feninn affairs seems r
to be attracting more attention daily. Large 1
meetings of the brotherhood have recently been j
held in the Northern cities. Ouo ut Jones j
Wood is said to have been attended by loO.OOO '
persons. This is sufficient evidence that there j'
is such an ossdfciulion as Fcuiaus in existence? ?
means something, exciting a commotion that s
may not subside without some results. t
Tbe Court* r
We see in all the neighboring districts and v
in the entire italc that "the court of Common c
Pleas" is being nnd has been held. This is the c
best symptom of the promised rot urn of civil J
nocriy uuu civil tuw, inoiigu mere arc exi-ung |
circumstances thai make a farce of sucli pre- t
tensions. Last Saturday was Return Day fit 8
