It is not too much to say that if the New York press had simply told the truth about this business, just given the real facts and no more, the Fenian excitement would to-day have been a thing of the past, and many hundred thousand dollars, taken from the bard-earnings of Ireland's gen erous but credulous children, would have remained to their credit in the savings banks. Even now these journals are endeavoring to reinflate the bubble, and give out dreadful inuendoea of plots aud traps and fearful designs soon to burst upon the startled world. For the oredit of Journalism these open and manifest humbugs should bs sternly discountenanced. All newspapers are likely tp be deceived, and some- times to publish wild and exaggerated stories; but when any one ol them persists in systematic exagger ation and goes so far as to keep special correspondents to manufacture untrue and exciting dispatches, they all suffer more or less of the odium that must finally attach to the guilty. The editor of a great public journal, in these days, stands before the people in the character of a witness in a court of law. and is in duty bound to deliver his messages under the moral sanc tion of an oath (of honor) to tell “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but th* truth,” so far as reasonable care and effort may enable him to do so. He who doeB otherwise is a false light upon a dangerous shore, luring the trusting mariner to fatal rocks and quick sands and breakers for the benefit of smugglers and wreckers, such as have been and are now running th* Fenian swindle.

The right the little ones to guide In simple faith to him who died; With earnest love and gentle praise To bless and cheer their youthful days. The right, the intellect to train. And guide the soul to noble aim; Teach it to rise above earth’s toys. And wing its flight for heavenly joys. The right to live for those we love. The right to die that love to prove; The right to brighten earthly homes With pleasant smiles and gentle tones. Are these thy rights ? Then use them well; Thy silent influence none can tell. If these are thine, why ask for more ? Thou hast enough to answer for. Are these thy rights ?

Rumor «i«e says that the bill will simply be returned with a mes sage approving its principles but pointing out the** objections, it is hoped in some quarter* quite friend ly to the President, that he will allow the bill to be come a law by failing to approve it within th* required time, and thus give an early opportunity for bringing it before the Supreme Court for the purpo** of tea ting the question of its constitutionality.
