We have no doubt the Adjntant-Gcneral and
the Government are quite alive to the necessity
of binz prepared to arm any number of men tha't
may be required for the defense of the country.
Toronto being a central position, audit being yet
unknown what force may be needed, It is desi
rable that there should be no rtiat of arms.
Probably there is no occasion for the hiut; but
as every able-bodied citizen may have to sheulder
his rifle, the Government should be ready to put
arms in their hands, if nccessnry.

" BILLINSBGATB FOR TJ1 CNITSD TATJS.
I"rom th Montreal Gazette, March 10.
The United Stacs ere ceitalnly earning fresh
titles to the eratitude ol the people ot this coun
try, y the way in which they have seen fit to
deal with the b'enian organization. For all the
tronble and expense that this country is now
cfcllrd npon to ineur the United States Govern
ment is to be than ted. it that government
had chosen to icsue a proclamation, and to use
decent dilisfnee ia putting down disgraceful
demonstrations offensive not only to Uniwd
States laws aud the comity of nations, but to.
common sense, aud the poor dupes who are
swindled out ct their money by appeals to their
preludices this wretched Feuiau tarce would
long aeo have been "played out."
l'Le United States Government has allowed the
open eneraving and sale of Fenian bonds for
the plain purpose ol swindling excited an i igno
rant people aud paving for murder and robbery.
It is too absurd tor argument to suppose that
the Fenian or "lush Republic" caii nave the
juopt remote chance of skcccsb asainjt the power
ot Fugland, or that it can establish a foothold
In these provinces. But beyond swindling poor
dupes out ot their hard earnings, it may cause
much blood to How. Yet in thie faco of these
plain facts the wrttched farce Is winked at, if
not directly encouratred, by the "United States
Government. A Fenian deputation was re
ceived, avowedly aj such, by President John
ton. United Ktates troops have attended in uni
form at Fenian meetina,s in New York. An
ofllcer of tho United btates army iirigadier
General Swcuey has travelled over a great
part of . the Union, in the United States
uniform, intending IVn'an meetings, at which
be has openly offered to lead organized
lands ayaii'st a peaceful neighboring
country, without any provocation, the etlectanct
object of which couid enly be uiurdor ami. rob
bery as s'mulf and brutal as tho world has ever
teen, and which would be iubt as much a dis
grace to civilization and humanity as the killing
of women Vy butcher knives in India at the re
quest of Nana Kahib. For all this open and
avowed intent to commit brutal outrages the
Un'.td States Government i responsible; and
for every drop ot blood that is shed, it will for-1
ever have aillxed to it the stain ol murder,
which It mi'jht have prevented, which it did'
openly encourage. And for every house broken
iuto and every dollar stolen.it is as if its own
members had pocketed the ill-gotten gain. The
poor wretch who was so horribly done 10 death
!n cold blood In Dublin would to-duy have been
alive hut lor the encouraaHiueut and crimiuul
paiticipaUca ot the United States Government
in the organisation which oaused his inanter.
It is probable that the Lnitfid States Gjvern
ment have made thpiiieclven responsible lor fill
this, in order, if not to win our eductions, to in
duce us to give up our allegiance to the Queen,"
and to loin our lot with their blessed system.
The calculation must be that the people of this
country tie cowards and sneaks to give up their
tllesiiece and their nationality under the eflci
of such terrorism. Need we indien'.e the an
swer lhat Hill be given either to the pohrieal
etfrmnt or to robbera and murderers who come
here f
We have spoken simply of tho United States
Government in tbese remark', hut we hive in
formation, which we consider quits authentic,
that a Governor of a e'-;hboi1ii New knglnnd
Stat?, sooner other important personages, has
snbsc.ibtd his fifty dollars to tho Fenian fund
a fond for the encouragement of piracy and
robbery.

Hamilton, C. W., March 12. The Fenian ex
citi ment is sbrll on tho increase, without any
ope of rpcedy abatement. A grnud Feuian
r.".'d is exfccled at any moment, and ihe entire
volunteer force ot the province has boon placed
vnder the authority of the Commander-in-Chief,
S.r John Michel, who remmauds the regular
torcc of tho Crown in the province. Volunteer
companies who p.re not required to drill at lea-'t
two hovrj a ay will not receive any pay irom
the Gove.nment for their services. Whenever
the Government sees fit to send companies on
oetached seivico from their homes, they will
bo compelled to observe the discipline and per
form the duties of regular treops. All delin
quencies will be penished by court martial, and
the ptaaltlcs adjudged will "be strictly enforced.
A number of suspicioin looking characters, with
rather soldierly beaTing, have been discovered
wandeiing around the suburbs of Hamilton.
They are suppD3ed to bs Fenians, and a strict
waich. and surveillance is kept upon their
movements and actions, as well as their
larguage, by the public authorities. To
Rdd to the ' general contusion and nlarji,
several Incendiary tires have occnrrcl
(itninff the lat two days, and one is now burn
ing while I write. The tires are believed to be
the work of the Hamilton Fenian, who abound
in this locality, ld on by emissaries irom the
United States. The wildest excitement, border
ing on frenzied panit, is tho remit of these in
cendiary fires. A feeling of insecurity and
dread pervades the eutire. community; and to
add to tho general distrust, the sliyh'?st
md most trivial events are inagnid:d
by the authorities into indications of
Fenian uprisings and revolts. The Chief
of Police, with the entire force at his disposal,
made a descent on the suspected qaarter and
nirrsted a man,. who has been brutally mal
treated by a cowardly mob of Orarremen. Tjg
mob, enraged to madness by the rumors of
Feuian atreeities, followed the poor wretch to
the police-3tatien, and on inquiry ascertained
that he had been employed m the manufac
ture of corn salve and not Fenian cartridges,
11s had been charged azainst him, und
lor which cou.e the man was nearly
murdered. The chief of police wa9 one ot the
first to charge the unlucky individual with belug
a Fenian armorer. A masi meeting is to be held
immediately. Resolutions will be offered at the
mealing to embody the whole male population
of Canada in an armed organisation to serve as
a home-guard. It is probable that Ciptain
.lcrols, of this city, will command the home
guard of Hamilton. 2r. Y. World.

The New York Hera d of to-day gives placo
to the followinj:
"A gentleman 1nst returned from Europe
called at the White House to-day and had an ia
terviow wiih the President, which resulted in a
free conversation that took a wide range. The
latter was assured that the Executive opinions
and politics were well understood abroad among
intelligent men since the publication of' his du
lerent" mepsages, speeches, and addresses to
delegations from Southern t?tat;'3, aud that they
(tho commended themselves to nearly all
Europeans who were at heart friendly to a per
petuity of omr Union and institutions. The
President replied that he hoped so, that
he never had any concealments, and taat he
tried so to express himself as to be understood
of all men. In fact, he considered that he was
understood by all except such as were deter
mined to misunderstand him. He desired to
restore the Union m luct us it already was in
theory, and to secure to all the States, North
ana South, every constitutional right they were
entitled te; but he was now met by men who

the adjournment of the Court. Officers Smith
and Burns, ot tbe Mavors police, tcstlded tha
in September last, under instructions fro:a hed
ruarteis, they repaired to the house in Sixth
direct, lust speeiued. and that one ot them.
Smith, bought a lottery policy of three numbers
ior six cents.
Tnese numbers were 21. 44, 53. and were wrl
ten lu ficrure3, on an ordinary slip of writing
paper, whieh was likewise stamped with the
name of the vender, aad the date of the transac
tion. There was also upon the slip curtain ab

the holder of the "policy" made a "hit" he
would te eatttled to receive $4 in return for his
investment of six cents. This paper was put in

Judge Parsons, for the prisoner, set up as a
ce'erse: t -Tit. That tf e defendant did not sell
a lottery policy, as charged in the indictment;
Kt-cond, that he is not the principal, but a mere
clerk at a salary; and third, that tho Diisiooss of

In charging the lury Judge Ludlow rad from

to his mind that it was never tne intention of

The New York 2ribun this morning says:
"Money on call was more abundant after the
bank statement was mr.de known, and at 6 per
cent, a good deal was loan:d among brokers.
There is more disposition to loan by the banks,
but they preter short engagements. The Increase
in letal tenders has been made at the expense of
tbe best, where the complaint is general of a
w ant of currency and of staznating trade. For
commercial paper the rates are 7J ior beet, 839
lor goou.snd lo15 for ordinary. There is paper
to be bad at even hitrher risks, but it can only be
claimed as extra hazardous. Sterling bills are
quoted 108108 i for 6J daw, and francs 6'21ia
6-164."
ihe Jfew TSrk Times this morning say
"The bank return points to an easier supply
of aioLey on the heavy inercae 111 legal-tender
notes, wt'c'u iu common with National Bank
cr rencv are tendig to New York irura the in
terior. The mai'set for money te the Stock
Kxchunge is already down to 66 per cent., aad
very (.nine merchant paper finds lavor at 7 per
cent. There is not muju disposition among
lenders 10 buy sccond cla paper, even at much
higher rates of interest, prcerring to leave their
balances at call iu Wall street., or to Ouy.Uuited
States 7'3()s and gold-bearing stocks."
A despatch from Washington says: "Qnite
a spirited couteit occurred in the House yester
day morning up; n a resolution oilered by Mr.
Spalding, ot Ohio, providing that the Internal
Revenue act of Juno 30, 1864, shall not he so
construed as to exempt from Utate and munici
pal taxation United 8tats notes not bearing j
terest held by individuals as money, or, in other
vtuiu, mat iibK tvuJvi .i.b.u...A held as
cash iu the safea or pockets of individuals or as
a deposit in bank, shall be subject to State and
municipal taxation. Alter a struggle lasting
nearly half an hour, it was referred to the Com
mittee of Ways and Means."
The question of reissuing to the owners
Treasury notes or Government bunds irrecover
ably lost by disaster at sea, is now engaging the
attention of both Hons s of Cougress. A num
ber of important claims ot this character are.
now awaiting action. The Senate Comaiittee on
Claims have just made a report ia the case of
Goldsmith Brothers, bankers, of San Francisco,
California, who asK the reissue ol ten thoiuanit
dolluis in seven-thirties, lest on board the
JJrcther Jtnatha.i, wrecked in the Paeitlc ia
August lest. TheCommit.ee say that a princi
ple of common equity, not to say common
honesty, requires the Government to make good
tuelo. ,iu case the Ions of the sccunties bo
proved beynnd all doubt, and requisite bond of
indemnity bo given by the claimants. Another
case involving tho loss of sixty thousand dollars
in compound intere t notes, by tae wreck ot
the New Orleans steau'-er liepuVio, lat fall, has
just gone to the House Cemaiitiee oa Claims.
