TUESDAY MORSINU Nov.fi, 1860
The Fenian Conviction* in
Canada.
A* we anticipated and predicted, the
Fenian moreraent ha* only resulted in
trouble to Ireland and «orro« to the
innocent dupe* of that unhappy move
ment. In the old country, martial law,
arbitrary arrests, and imprisonment in
loathsome jails, hare been the result—
in Canada, trials and condemnation to
death of innocent men. There can ba
no doubt that Rov. Mr. McMahon, a
Catholic l'riest, and Mr. Lynch, a news
paper reporter, are l>oth innocent ot the
charges of participation in the invasion
of Canada. The tirst was with the in
vaders, it is true, but in the discharge of
his religious duties, and therefore, no
violator of any law. The second was
also with them, but in the discharge of
his professional duties as a newspaper
reporter, and, therefore, not a party to
the invasion. Yet both have been
tried, found guilty, and sentenced to
death. To execute either or both
would be a blot upon the civilization of
the age and character of Great Britain.
We do not believe, there!* re that the
sentence es the Court will be executed.
Our readers, or at least some of them,
will remember the trials in Ire
land, some years ago, when Smith
O'Brien and others were found guilty
of treason, and sentenced to be “ hung,
drawn, and quartered !’’ But the sen
tences were commuted to bunishment
to the penal colonies, and even that,
after a few years’ service, was remitted.
We believe that the same policy will be
pursued in regard to the Fenian prison"
ers. They will be either pardoned or
have their sentences commuted to a
term of imprisonment. In the cases of
McMahon aud Lynch, justice demands
that they should be pardoned. They
are guilty of no offence, and being inno
cent, ought not to suffer imprisonment
for merely being with an illegal enter
prise, while the guilty leaders ot that
enterprise are set free.
The leaders of the Fenian organiza
tion have done a grievous tvtong. How
ever good their motives, and well laid
their plans, they have shown the most
egregious folly, and the most reckless
disregard of the lives of those whom
they have thus misled. They have
escaped, while the innocent have been
caught, to suffer for the errors of others.
It is lamentable that the threats and
bullyings of those leaders will affect no
good to the unfortunate prisoners. It
will only tend to make their unhappy
late more certain, and to counteract the
good which wise and prudent counse'
and intercession might otherwise effect.
This intercession has already been made
by our excellent President, and will, no
doubt, have the desired effect, if the de
nunciations of the Fenian leaders in
New York can only be stopped.
It may be inconsistency on (he part < f
our Governmeut to appeal for clemei c/
and mercy to the Fenian prisoners in
Canada, while we have a State prisoner
within the dungeon walls of Fortress
Monroe denied his freedom or even the
justice of a trial ; but let us hope that
the spirit which evoked that appeal for
mercy is.one which will rule the hear s
of Nations and of Government, that
magnanimity wi l take the pla. e of ven.
geance ; clemency and mere of harsh
ness and vindictiveness, and that ti e
prison doors of political oflenders will
b ■ thrown open, so that they may walk
forth into the air of freedom, the re- |
cioients of National kindness and for- I
giveness. It is a spirit which will do I
more to strengthen the hands of Gov
ernments and to suppress rebellions, !
than can all the gibbets, guillotines, unit
garrotes in the world. Jt is a spirit
which should prevail.
Amnesty and Forgiveness.
The Lynchburg Virginian, of Oct.
31st, says: In the letter recently ad
dressed by the Secretary of State Mr.
Seward, to H. B. M. Minister, Sir Fred
erick liruce, the following passage oc
curs : 4
“Finally I deem it proper to say that
the offences involved in these trials are
in their nature eminently political. It
is the opinion of this government that
sound policy coincides with the best im
pulses of a benevolent nature in recom
mending tenderness, amnesty , and for
gice ness in such cases. This suggestion
is made with freedom and earnestness,
because the same opinions were pro
posed to us in our recent civil war by all
the governments and publicists of
Europe, and by none of them with great
er frankness and kindness than by the
government and statesmen of Great
Britain, lam very sure that you will
find tbat the recommendations of a policy
of clemency and forgiveness in the case
of the parties concerned, uru in entire
harmony with all the suggestions and
representations which tins government
has made to her Majesty's Government,
in regard to the nggressions which have
been made on the Canadian frontier, and
that they are also in harmony with the
proceedings that the government has
thought it just, wise, and prudent to
pursue in regard to the violation of its
own neutrality law, which was involved
in these agressions."
We do not propose to question either
the philanthropy or the wisdom of the
sentiments thus announced by the head
of the State Department of our Govern
ment, hut to call attention to the glaring
discrepancy which exists between these
principles ami the practice of our Gov
ernment. Mr. Seward here explicitly
declares it to be the “ opinion of the
Government that sound policy coin
cides with the best impulses of a benevo
lent nature in recommending tender
ness, amnesty, and forgiveness ” in
cases when tile ofteiiffes are of a politi
cal character, arid yet this same Govern
meat saneftons (lie punishment by in
carceration for an indefinite period o
one who has been .guilty of 116 offence
other than a political one. •*«•> »»•
sum mg that any offence at all h»* been
committed against the lawa of the coun
try.
Mr. Davis still languishes in the walls
of his atone casemato at Fortress
Monroe, aud th« utmost effort* of hi*
family, his friends, and his counsel are
unavailing to bring him even to trial.
I*gal, technical, and every other kind
of impediment is interposed to prevent
even a trial lor the offences of which he
stands charged. For all we can see,
there it no better prospect of a speedy
trial now, than existed at the time of his
incarceration, lie is apparently doomed
in advance of trial to imprisonment for
life, and the most sacred provision of the
hill of rights and the organic laws of the
country ore openly ignored. If “am
nesty and forgiveness" are so clearly in
dicated ns the proper policy to be pur
sued with regard to the Fenian prison
ers, with how much greater force are
thev urged in behalf ot Mr. Davis. The
Fenians, howover laudable their motives
and objects may have been, invaded the
territories of a friendly power without
any declaration of hostility, without any
note of warning, and levied war on the
people of that country.
They pretended to have no griev
ances, private or political, to redress, so
far as Canada was concerned; they
seemed to have no correct conception of
the mode by which their purposes were
to be accomplished, bus with a vague
idea that an invasion of Canada would
be detrimental to British interest, they
madly sought to inflict the injury with
out regard to the sufferings and miseries
their enterprise must necessarily entail
ou a people who were certainly responsi
ble for none of the woes with which Ire
land has been visited. There was with
them no attempt to carry out the great
principle that the consent of the gov
erned is an essential prerequisite to all
just governments. They could not and
did not appeal to the political dogma
which has been regarded os an axiom in
America since the revolution, that the
people of a country had the prescriptive
1 right to alter or abolish a form of gov
ernment which had.become tfnerous aud
oppressive. None of these extenuating
circumstances surrounded the Fenian
invasion, and when those who pnrtici
pated in this wild and visionary crusade
are likely to suffer the penalties of their
acts, our Government strongly inter
poses in their behalf; counsels amnesty,
and eloquently urges the efficacy of ten
derness and forgiveness for political
offences.
Mr. Davis does not even ask forgive
ness—he desires and demands only jus
tice—if guilty of treason under the law,
let him be tried by the law, and pun
ished in accordance with law. but not
uulil after conviction —it a jury of his
peers—not a jury packed by Under
wood—shall, alter a fair trial, convict —
then let punishment come; but it is an
outrage at which civilization and hu
manity alike revolt, that one, wtjo, what
ever may have been bis errors, occu
pied a most commanding position iu
the civil, military, and political history
i should be treated with the rigor meted
out to a condemned felon, when he has
been convicted ot no crime, and who
only asks that he may receive that
speedy and impartial triul to which,
niftier the laws of the country, he is so
clearly and unequivocally entitled.
Suit Au.viNsr lae Cur by its Em
ployees nit Excess ot’ En;nr Hour's
Labor.—ln the Baltimore Court of
Common Pleas yesterday, before Judge
King, two cases were tried on appeal
from a justice of the peace, in which
Patrick McKenna and James Ryan, em
ployees in the water department, were
the original plaintiffs, and tiie Mayor
ad City Council of Baltimore, were the
defendnnts. The claims were for .one
fifth additional pay for an excess of two
hours a day, of labor performed over
eight hours, which, by- the ordinances of
the city are made a legal day’s work fur
all persons employed in every depart
ment of the city government. Mr. War.
rington appeared for plaintiffs, and Mr.
Leary, city solicitor, for the corporation.
The facts of the case having been prov.
ed by the plaintiffs, the court decided
that it was optional for the plaintiffs to
work the ten hours required of them or
to resign their position as laborers, and
that they conld make no legal claim for
extra compensation. Judgment by con
fession pro forma, having been entered
by the justice below for the purpose of
appeal, the court reversed thejudgment,
and gave judgment for the city in both
cases.— Sun, 20th.
Fun at Homs. —Dou’l be afraid of a
little fun at homo. Don’t shut your
house, lest the sun should fade your
carpets and your hearths, lest a hearty
laugh should shake down some of the
musty old cobwebs there 1 If you wanj
to ruin your sons, let them think that
all mirth and social enjoyment must be
left on the threshold without, when they
come home at night. When once a
homo is regarded as a place to eat, drink,
aud sleep in, the work is begun that
ends in gambling houses and degrada
tion. Young people must have fun and
■ elaxation somewhere; if they'do not
find it at their own hearth stones it will
ho sought at oilier and lets profitable
places. Therefore, let the fire burn
brightly at night, and make the home
stead delightful with all those little arts
that parents so perfectly understand.
Don't repress the buoyant spirit of your
children; halt an hour’s merriment
around the lamp and firelight of home
blots out the remembrances of many a
care and annoyance during tho day,
and the best safeguard they can take
with them into tho world is tho influ
ence of a bright little domestic sanctum.

Another law Suit—Brick Pome*
roy Stealing Chicken*.
Monday fort-noon ibern canto off be
fore Police Judge Hubbard in this city,
another law suit, the particulars of
which are as follow* t
Reinhardt Hendricks, on the 17th of
September, brought suit against “Brick’’
Potueroy, to recover pay for two roos
ters shot by the. defendant with a revol
ver, the chickens belonging to the plain
tiff, to the value of fifty cents each.
Through the kindness of the judge the
case has been adjourned from week to
week till the return ot the defendant
from an electioneering tour of Indinna.
This morning the ease came off, ex-
Mayor, lion. James I. l.yndcs being the
counsel for the prosecution, the defend
ant appeared ill his own defense.
The court room was crowded, for the
idea of trying on editor for stealing or
shooting chickens was a novelty. The
plaintiff brought in his bill, swore to its
correctness, testified that be owned tbe
chickens, that they were raised by a hen
belonging to him, that he saw the de
fondant shoot them, that lie had repeat
edly asked the defendant to settle tor
them, and failing to get pay or satisfac
tion he was compelled to bring suit, and
asked for judgment of one dollar and
costs.
The defendant'admitted shooting the
chickens, and proved by four reliable
witnesses the following facts:
In April, 1866, the defendant owned a
fast running trick mare, “Kitty,” which
animal was kept in a stable hired by
him, and cared for by one of his em
ployees. Through a little hole in the
barn or stable the plaintiff’s hens would
fly in and eat oats intended for the mare
“Kitty,” and on the approach of any
one would fly out. In an old barrel in
the stable, one of the hens, a black one,
made her nest,laid thirteen eggs therein,
and proceeded to raise a family. When
the hen got ready to set, the defendant
nstructed the boy who took care of his
mare to go down town, purchase thirteen
eggs of J. W. Robinson Cos., grocers,
and pot them in the nest, first removing
the other eggs. The boy did so, as was
proved-
He then personally drove the hen out
of the stable a dozen times or more—
he tried to make her leave—she would
not, but proceeded to incubate his eggs,
duly bought and paid for, without his
consent, leave or license, after repeated
efforts on his part and by bis agents to
have her vacate his premises. And
farther, when the hen had hatched his
eggs, she ran away with bis chickens,
eleven in number, two eggs not pro
'ducing chickens. To her services he
brought an offset, the use of stable and
board hill in the shape of oats —he
charged her with the two eggs she
spoiled, and demanded judgment for
the balance of the flock, nine in num
ber, at fifty cents each. And, besides*
he proved that the chickens did not
belong to that hen, us she was black,
while the chickens were red or speckled !
Hendricks has sued all his neighbors
for some little trifling matter, half a
dozen times each during the past two
years. After a patient hearing, the
Judge decided that there was no cause
of action, and that the deiendatit was
entitled to the other nine chickens, and
the plaintiff must pay the costs of the
suit, amounting to seventeen dollars
and thirty seven and a half cents. —La

A Woman’s Friendship. —lt is a
wondrous advantage to a man, in every
pursuit or vocation, to secure au adviser
in a sensible woman. In woman there
is at once a subtle delicacy of tact and
a plain soundness in judgment, which
are rarely combined to an equal degree
in man. A woman, if she be really
your friend, will liave a sensitive regard
for your hunor, character, and repute.
She will seldom counsel you do a
shabby thing, for a woman friend al
ways desires to be proud of you. At
the same time her constitutional timid
ity makes her more cautious than your
male friend. She, therefore, seldom
counsels you to do an imprudent thing.
A man’s best female frifoid is a wife of
■good sense and heart, whom he loves,
and who loves him. But, supposing the
man to bo without, a helpmate, female
friendship he must still have, or his in
tellect will be without.a garden, and
there will be an unheeded gap, even in
its strongest fouee. Better and safer,
of course, such friendships where dis
parities of years or circumstances put
the idea of love out of tne question.
Middlfi life has rarely thys advantage ;
youth and old age hav6. We titay have
female friendships with thoso much
older, and those much younger, than
ourselves. Female friendship is to a
man the bulwark, sweetener, ornament of
his existence.

Mr. Editor: Every one who ha* a
dog, if lie takes any interest in him and
the matter in hand, will soon find him
self making a distinction between
mason and instinct. Thus, when the
dog lias eat enough for the present
from a hone, he will dig a hole in the
ground aud bury the residue for a future
meal. This Is commonly attributed to
his instinct. In man, however, the very
same thing is called “ prudence,” and is
said to be the result of reason. But
when we observe further that our dog
dreams ! we see at once that he has for
his guidance something better than in
stinct, for, psychologically, if is impos
sible to dream without the faculty of
memory, aud that operation of the tuind
called thinking. Now, if our dog has a
mind and thinks, are bis mind and
thoughts entirely subjective to instinct 7
I think they are, and like a very large
majority of mankind, their mental facul
ties have been developed only to the
extent absolutely required to maintain,
as comfortably as they can, their exist
ence and the preservation of their spe
cies.
All the domestic animals, the negro,
the horse, the cow, and chickens, ducks,
turkeys, etc., have been humanized by
their association with mankind, their
natural, ns well as cultivated, instincts
have made them available to the happi-
ness of man.
When the beasts of the field and
fowls of the air were brought before
Adam, “to see what he would call
them," he instinctively rejected the
whole of them as “ help-meets,” and it
was a slur upon Moses, even among the
unscrupulous Jews, that one of his
“help-meets” was a negro.
I imagine I have made the distinction
between reason and instinct broad
enough, and now comes the question, |
which is best ? Looking to the mere
enjoyment of animal life, there can be
no doubt hut that instinct is sufficient i
and man, negro, horse, cow, dog, et al,
are upon precisely the same footing—
Free and Equal! Adam, Eve, and the
serpent were evidently in this condition!
their instinqts led them to the transgres
sion of the first revealed moral law, and
man, woman, and beast, participating in
it, were alike punished for it. If reason
had prevailed, Adam and Eve could
have controlled their instinctive desire
to eat, and, perhaps, the world would
have been benefitted by it; but, ignoring
reason, they let themselves down to the
level of the brute, and, unfortunately for
humanity, the example set by them is
too generally followed by the Adams aid
Eves of the present day, and we have to
regret that, though reason is best for
mankind, to whom it was offered and
properly belongs, yet instinct prevails
and leads them to misery.

Got Him. —A Louisville cotemporary
! having notified the public that they
could obtain all their wants by adver
tising iu its columns, received the fa>~-
lowing stunning reply :
October 16, 1866.
Dear Journal: I’m so glad I’ve found
out how to get what I want. Yester
day’s Journal says : “W halever your
wants may be, advertise in the Journal.''
I’m wanting quite a number of things
just now, hut I’ll put up with anew
bonnet, dress and cloak, anew cooking-
I stove, and a load of kindling wood ; a
! new pair of kid gloves, and a pair of
balmoral boots, No. 4, a parlor carpet
and rug. My husband wants “some
body to pay the house rent and a baby.”
(I don’t want that.) Another member
of my family wants “a i.ew suit of Sun
day go to-meetings; another wants “a
new set of hoops and a crying doll
another wants “a little red top buggy for
her doll, and a cradle.”
| There are quite a number of other
| wants unsupplied, of which l’il send in
a list after these have been satisfied.
I’m deiighted with the new mode of get
ting things. Very respectfully,
Mrs. Buti.er.
P. S.—l would like to have a barrel
of ilour, too, it it is not too much trouble,

Our Crops.—The heavy frost on last
Thursday morning throughout this sec
tion—much heavier in some localities
than others—concludes the interesting
subject of the crops for the present sea
son.
Our planters Cud that the September
rains did not injure the crops as seri
ously as was feared they would; nor
| bus the cntterpiHer and rust done very
great damage. The cotton crop of De
catur and in counties adjoining will be
considerably more than half an average
one. Some think it will reach two-thirds
of the yield of 18G0. A gentleman from
Miller estimates the cotton crop of that
county at a full average crop. He says
corn is plentiful there and is selling at
$1.25 per bushel.
The corn crop of this county is sorry
but we think it sufficient to supply the
demands of our people. Some of our
planters never made a better corn crop
than they have this year, but their nurn.
ber is small. Many have not made half
as much as they usually do.
We are pleased to know that peas,
potatoes and sugar cane were never bet
ter; nor do we suppose a greater breadth
of land has ever been planted in these
important products than has been plaut
-ed this year. The lato rains were of
great service in promoting these crops,
aud hence, are not much to be deplored.

More Petroleum. —A farmer living
in Walker county, in this State, while
engaged in enlarging a spring on his
farm the other day, displaced some rock,
when immediately a quantity of oil
gushed out and floated oii'the surface of
the wider. We understand that a num
berot gentlemen from Macon are making
arrange ipeiits to .settle the important
question whether, the oil exists in that
country in sufficient quantities to mnko
an investment in the oleaginous sub
stance profitable.
Secret Orders in the South —The
“Red Strixos” akd hi* “Knight* op
Anthropophagi.” —Some time since
,jthe New York Tribune , with the purpose
of influencing the election*, published a
saucy dispatch respecting the existence
of “rebel secret societies” throughout
the South, and in reference to which
statements the Montgomery (Ala.) Mail
says:
We have one of them here, known as
the Knights of Anthropophagi. 'They
delight in’eating a loyalist for breakfast
every mi ming. They dine upon frieca
seed colored people, after the aroma bos
j been removed with saltpetre, and never
sup without demolishing a steak from a
slaughtered Bureau man. They are
armed to the teeth with Spencer rifles,
ind have their breasts protected with
. those patent breastplates—you know 1
It is suspected that they meet at the re
• markable temple over the Artesian Ba
sin; and that they drown frwnlmen in
tbe.basin at midnight. We cannot vouch
' tor this, although officers of the Freed
-7 men’s Bureau huve been observed watch
; ing that temple as though they expected
it to explode.
It is said that these unrepentant rebels,
, by a constant firing of cannon, have so
disturbed the attnuspbere for the past
three months as to cause a continued
rain, for the purpose of destroying the
cotton crops ot Northern mqn. They
have succeeded but too well in their ne
farious purpose, and nothing can now
‘i protect them from the vengeance of the
‘ be t people on the planet, except ratifi
J cation es the pending amendment.
j See to it Yourself.—lmportant
’ affairs must he attended to in person.
“ If you want your business well done,”
says the proverb, “go and do it; if you
don’t want it done, send some one else.’’
An indolent gentleman had a freehold
estate producing about five hundred a
year. Becoming involved in debt, he
sold half of the estate and left the re
mainder to an industriooe, enterprising
farmer for ten years. About the end of
the term the farmer called to pay his
rent, and asked the owner whether he
would sell the farm. “ Will you buy it?”
asked the owner surprised. Yes, if we
can agree about the price.” “ That is
exceedingly strange?’ observed the gen
tleman ; “ how happens it that, while I
could not live upou twice as much laud,
for which I paid no rent, you are regu
larly paying me two hundred a year for
your farm, and are able, in a few years
to purchase it.” “ The reason is plain,”
was the reply, “ you sat still, and said
Cos; I got up, and said Come ; you laid
in bed and enjoyed your estate, I rose
in the morning and minded my busi
ness.”

Opinions of the Press, Clergy, Etc,
We will make a Jew short extract, f r ~
the many Testimonial » we have received fro*
time to time , unaolicited. 7
From Editors.
The New York Examiner, says :
Every mother and housekeeper mustoftai
act as a family physician in the many ill.
nes-es and accidents that occur among cbiU
dr. 9 and servants. For many of these cases
I have used Davis’Pain Killer, and consider
it an indispensable article in the medicine
box. In diarrhoea, it has been used and
effected cures.. For cuts and bruises, it is
invaluable.
The Editor of the Christian Advocate,
says:
It is a real pleasure to us to speak favoiablv
of this article, known almost universally to
be a good and safe remedy for burns and
other pains of the body. It is valuable not
only for colds in the winter, but for rariou
summer complaints, and should be in every
family.
A. D. Miller, Editor of Messenger. Gleni
Falls, N. Y., says .-
There is no medicine at tbe present day I
value so highly as Perry Davis’ Vegetable
Pain Killer. I have used it in my family
for years; in every instance it has proved a
sovereign remedy. I tested its qualities
to-day on a severe burn, and found it all
that could be desired.
Mr. John Jackson, of the Calais Adrer
ti&er, writes:
I know it to be all it is recommended,
having used it in my family six or seven
years.
Tho Salem Observer says ;
No article of medicine ever attained to
such unbounded popularity and extensive
diffusion. It has penetrated to every part,
even the most remote, of the known world,
bearing with it its healing influences more
potent than those of tbe spices of “Areby
tbtf blessed.” We are informed by onr
principal druggists, that they sell more of
this article for exportation than of any of
all others, and that the demand is constanty
increasing;
The Cincinnati Nonpareil, Nov. 14,1849,
says:
Some of oar most prominent citizens and
business men strongly recommend it to tire
public os an article of great merit and virtue,
and that they never knew any medicine to
become so deservedly popular in so short*
time.
From Clergymen.
Rev. J. C. Boomer says :
I have used Perry Davis' Pain Killer with
great success in cases of cholera infantum,
common bowel complaint, bronchitas,
coughs, colds, etc., and would cheerfully
recommend it as"a valuable family medicine.
Rev. J. G. Stearns, says:
I consider it the best remedy I ever knew
for dyspepsia.
Rev. Edward X. Fuller says :
I have witnessed the beneficial effects of
your Pain Killer in cases of dysentery and
cholera morbus, within a few months past,
and would cheerfully recommend its use to
such as may be suffering from similar dis
eases. as a safe and ejj'rctual remedy.
Rev. A. Webster, Editor of the Christian
Era, writes :
I have used your Pain Killer for many
yoirs in my family with much satisfaction.
