THE FENIAN AMNESTY,
7 Vm! lie London Spectator,
The condition which the Government have
affixed to their liberation of the FenUu pri
soners seems to us to be a miserable mistake,
nnwiae, ungenerous, and unjust. To c-Uim
credit for it 4,ns an act of pure clemency,"
which not even the most malignant enemy of
the Government dare venture to misrepre
sent, ia hardly worthy of Mr. Gladstone's
keen intelligence and seiious character. If
it be proper to append Queen Victoria'H name
to an act of amnesty granted to Irish rebel.,
it should not be coupled with conditions
which even Lonis Nnpoleon would have been
ashamed to subjoin to an am
nesty offered to the most
dangerous and unscrupulous of the French
lieds. After all, the condition affixed to the
liberation of these unhappy men is neither
more nor less than banishment for life. They
are required to leave the United Kingdom,
and to undertake not to return to it. This
sweeping and perpetual sentence is made
applicable to all of them, though there is a
wide variety in their degree of guilt, and
also in the terms of imprisonment to which
they are liable. Some of them, like Burke
and Mackay, have had sentence of death for
levying war against the Queen commuted to
imprisonment for life some, like Luby and
Mulcaby, now five years in gaol, have gone
through a great part of the period of punish
ment imposed upon them for writing news
paper articles which the Irish courts consi
dered treasonable in the good old time when
Sir Robert reel, being Chief Secretary, de
clared that he and Lord Falmerston would
stand or fall with the Irish Church,
and when Mr. Card well solemnly
warned the Irish people that Parliament
would never listen to their demands
for tenant-right. If Farliament has
been wise in the work it has done during the
last two sessions, there was surely some little
excuse for 6trong writing in those days. To
pass a fresh sentence of perpetual exile on
such men, and on others whose sentences were
only for spaces of seven and five years, and
who would, therefore, be absolutely entitled
to their liberty after a comparatively short pe
riod of further restraint on men who have, in
many cases, suffered so considerable a propor
tion of their sentence as has often sufficed to
let some hardened thief or desperate garroter
loose on our streets with a ticket-of-leave
on men the degree of whose guilt it would
be impossible to distinguish from that of
their comrades to whom a full and uncondi
tional pardon was given two years ago to do
this is, we do not hesitate to say, simply,
utterly, and flagrantly unjust.
But apart from this general consideration
of the case, these unfortunate men are, we
venture to assert, entitled to claim their libe
ration from Mr. Gladstone, if not as an abso
lute right, still in virtue of an undertaking
on bis part, in some degree conditioned by
circumstances which very decidedly deprive
it of the quality of "an act of pure cle
mency." When the Peace Preservation act
was before the House of Commons last March,
the late Mr. Moore, M. P. for Mayo, had
given notice of his intention to bring the case
. . 1 T " 1 I " 1 I . . .
oi ino iriau ponucai prisoners ueiore parlia
ment. Such a motion at tho moment might
have proved embarrassing. The Government
was, at all events, exceedingly anxious to be
come possessed, with as little delay as possi
ble, of the necessary but formidable weapon
of law then in rapid process of fabrication.
Some communications of the kind usual in
Buch cases no doubt took plaoe, for Mr.
Gladstone on the 17th of March submitted
to the process of an interpellation on the
part of Mr. Moore, the course of which had
evidently been arranged beforehand. A cer
tain vague and gloomy amphibology never
theless pervaded Mr. Gladstone's answer,
which dissatisfied Mr. Moore, a man of vivid
and precise phrase; and four days afterwards,
when the question came on again, it tran
spired that Mr. Gladstone had agreed before
hand to give an answer in terms somewhat
more distinct. These are the precise terms
-which Mr. Moore embodied in his notice of
a second question which he addressed to the
Prime Minister on the 31st of March: "That
the consideration of this question the liber
ation of the prisoners must necessarily de
pend upon the restoration of law and order in
Ireland, and as soon as the disorders now
prevailing in that country are repressed, Mr.
Gladstone trusts that he will be able to give
a very different answer to Mr. Moore, and to
announce the liberation of the political pri
soners." Mr. Gladstone said in reply that this was
the very meaning he had intended to convey
on the previous evening. But what, may we
et-k, did Mr. Gladstone mean by the word
"liberation '('' Did he mean transportation
for life ? We know no case in which a politi
cal amnesty has been so interpreted except
that of Poerio and his comrades, who, having
been deported to the United States by the
King of Naples, mutinied on the voyage, and
carried their transport into Cork. But it is
evident that Mr. Gladstone did not mean to
transport the Irish political prisoners to
America at the time that he gave the answer
to which Mr. Moore objected as deficient
in olearness and savor; because in that answer
be spoke of the cruelty it would be to hold
out misleading hopes prematurely to the
friends of the prisoners. If it had been his
intention then to release those prisoners on
Christmas Eve, with the one condition that
they should never see their homes, families,
and friends again, then, we must say, so
much and tuch ostentatious consideration for
the feelings of their friends and families
might well have been spared. Nor need the
whole population of Ireland have been bound
over to keep the peace on publio conditions
expressed in Parliament, if such was the sort
of political amnesty that her Majesty's Minis
ters uiumaiejy contemplated. It was not,
perhaps, wise statesmanship so to identify the
case of the political prisoners with the con
duct of the general population, that their
liberation should oe maae to depend on the
amount of crime perpetrated uurina the fol
lowing six months or so. But at all events.the
peace preservation act appears to have an
swered 1U purpose. Juaw uu uruer nave been,
so to sneak, restored in Ireland. The disor
ders which prevailed in that country last
March have been repressed, Air. -uoore, now.
ever, no longer lives to claim the very differ
ent answer which Mr. Gladstone held oat the
hope of Lis beinc able to give. Under such
circumstances, to interpret "liberation" as
weaning "banishment is at least ungene
rous. Of all the causes which have contri
buted to make the relations between the two
countries bo bitter and bloody, hardly any hai
been so potent as this holding the word of
promise to the ear at one time and quibbling
r . ... t : ii i i
It away at anoiuer wun proiebious uut nave,
to tho mind of a people at once simple and
fcuppicious, all the effect of a some what solemn
and exuberant insincerity.
Hut the unwisdom of sending these men
to the United States at this moment for the
United States in, of conrso, tho one country
outside tho United Kingdom open to them in
the present stale of the world has in it
something so inconsiderate as to be almost
appalling. What must these men do of mere
net-easily when they arrive there ? It would
be too much to expect that a feeling of loyal
p ratitude should grow in their bosoms during
the Atlantio voyage In consequence of the
degree of "liberation" in which they have
been indulged. These convicts, who were
picking oakum or breaking stones a week
ego, will arrive at New York and find them
delves the idols of n popular ovation
and in recognized command of a great
political Influence. The Irish vote will be
at their bidding, at a time when the rotations
of America with England are again assuming
a very anxious character. The city of New
York will doubtless receive them with publio
honors. They may be admitted to the floor
of the Berate and entertained at the White
House. The Fenians of New York, in public
meeting assembled on the 1st inst., came to
the following resolution: " Whereas, Gene
ral Butler has avowed himself a friend of
America and an enemy of England by
his determination to have the plun
dered American citizens repaid for the
depredations committed on them by
tho Alabama and other Southern cruisers,
and having signalized the Irish as the men to
fight England and humble her, be it, there
fore, resolved, that we who love Ireland and
wish ber liberation, do hereby pledge our
selves to General Butler that the moment he
Bays 'rally,' we will be with him." The terms
of this declaration are sufficiently absurd.
But the fact remains that at a lime when the
Fenian organization in the United States had
fallen into a state of almost complete collapse
from lack of leadership, we are sending its
most daring and able spirits to the very base
of the operations of the conspiracy. Ere many
weeks we may reasonably expect to hear that
Luby and Mulcaby are "stumping" the Union
in aid of General Butler and the llusso-Prusso-Arnerican
alliance, while Burke and
Mackay are directing operations on the Cana
dian frontier to illustrate President Grant's
peculiar views of that "irresponsible Do
minion." It certainly ia not wise statesman
ship to send these men to the one part of the
world where they may, and almost must,
make much mischief; where there is every
temptation to them to resume their old
courses, and where those courses at present
are the high road to popularity, influence,
and means.
If it were proper to couple conditions with
an act of pure clemency, there is one which
might with advantage be substituted for that
which Mr. Gladstone has imposed. The po
litical prisoners might have been bound to
return to and to remain in Ireland. There
they would find that the great injustices
whose existence made political conspiracy
possible ten years ago have been summarily
abolished. They would find a popular Exe
cutive armed with powers ample and effectual
to enable them to answer for the peaoe of the
country. They would, in their own despite,
serve as living monuments of the
clemency of a wise and fearless Government.
The Irish administration would hardly shrink
from such an addition to their charge for
this is not a time to make things easy to the
Irish Executive at the expense of the empire.
Is it too late to hope that before this ungen
erous and impolitic condition is enforced, the
sovereign herself may object to have the
quality of her mercy strained after suoh a
fashion? If such an act were possible, that
is to say constitutional, it would make the
royal clemency a word of pure and serious
meaning from shore to Bhore of Ireland.
RAILWAYS AND ROMANCE.
From the N. T. World.
The name of Stokes, though respectable.
is hardly romantic; and we suspect that even
tne author of those remarkable works of
fiction known as the novels of Ouida would
be slow to elect Mr. James Fisk as a hero of
romance, ilow, then, can we sufficiently
admire the audacity of the Tribune, which has
invented and issued a "tale of two cities"
wherein Mr. Fisk and Mr. Stokes are made
to appear, now as Achilles and Agamemnon
quarrelling over the beauty of Briseis, then as
Richelieu and Cinq-Mars at odds for the favors
of Marion, and then as Jack Sheppard and
Jonathan Wild inflamed to deadly feud by the
fascinations of a more lovely than Moll Flan
ders ? If we are to believe the Tribune, Mr.
Fibk has a soul so far above the railway bonds
and the golden buttons which have been in
cessantly declared to divide hisjaffections.that
he fell into a perfect transport of fury on
finding himself supplanted by a rival in the
tender regards of a modern Lais, wLjni he
had loved neither so wisely as he should, nor,
as it would appear, so well as she would have
him; upbraided the inconstant fair one with
her fickleness, and vowed a vengeance deep
and dire upon his rival. Had the scene of
the Tribune's tale of love been laid on the
Bosphorus or in the middle ages, it would
doubtless have depicted Mr. Fisk to us in the
character of the Grand Turk causing a saok
to be clapped over the head of the Giaour
who had. extinguished the "Light of the
Harem," and him to be dropped silently and
succinctly into the seaward tide whioh makes
forever westward through the Golden Horn.
Or it would have represented the passionate
Prince of Erie armed cup-a-pie, at the head
of his retainers, storming by night the castle
of Sir Lancelot do Stokes, and mingling the
blood of that deluding knight with the red
wine mantling in his goblets of price.
As it is, we are invited to believe that Mr.
Fisk brought to bear on his foe not mango
nels but injunctions; that he invoked not
the "fair devil Venus" to aid him, but Astrea
from her temple in the City Hall; that he
laid not military but hnaneial snares to
entrap the too enchanting Stokes; and that
he succeeded in wielding the whole ma
chinery of the State to effect the commercial
annihilation, the arrest and the imprison
ment of his successful competitor. Could
we suppose this story to be true, we should
Bfek Miss Anthony and her agitating sis
ters what possible need there can be
of enhancing the influence of woman in a
community wherein such darts can be shot
from "a white wench's black eye." But the
story, of course, cannot possibly have origi
' nated elsewhere than in the Aroadian soli
tudes of Chappaqua. It is a mere jumble of
"Daphnis and Chloe" with "liinaUo Ilinal
dini'f and "The Monk" and the "Mysteries
of Paris." In comparison with suoh corusca
tions of amorous moonshine as this, the Tri
bune' story of its little triplex correspondent
who sat on the crupper of a dead horse, and
drank beer with King William sitting on it
head, becomes almost credible.
THE WRONGED WOMAN.
JVem the H. T. TiiUuTt.
One of those Boston essayists whose cheer
ful humor and good English have drawn our
. literature into a chatty, good tempered moo J,
took up lafct week the social evil a his text,
and, after protesting that tho wronged wonun
had become the bugbear not only of society
bnt of literature, proceeded to give ns a very
effective sketch (after Hawthorne) of her
dead in a cart and draped with a shawl. Oar
cBPfljist Fpoke a deeper truth than, perhaps,
be knew. Ia literature or art the one more
unfortunate is always when lugged in pic
turesque and effective whether as the Mig
dalene with face repentant, if not reformed,
bending over a skull, or plung ng out of life's
mystery into death madly by night. But in
real life the wronged woman is the problem
that faces the reformer at every corner, un
clean and commonplace, and, by virtue of its
very commonness and nncloannoss, the one
problem yet nnconquered. Hers is the sole
iiguie about which in real life you can throw
none of the softening shadows or half lights
which beloDg to it in fiction. The wronged
woman, dead in a cart, or drawn from the
river which had drunk her down at last to
easeful death, is a something which wrings
our heart with pity; but Anonyma alive,
brazen, starving what will you do with her ?
She has made for herself a place, though oa
the very edge of tho pit, and society (by
which we here mean decent woman hooi) re
fuses, with perhaps a reasonable instinct of
self-protection, to give her an inch of safe
btauding ground. Wholesale reformatories,
we cannot but perceive, are of but
little practical value in her case. The very
Excess of the animal or emotional nature
which caused her to fall renders it impossi
ble to reach her by any machinery of gene
ralizing system or rules. She will not be
made to see the error of her ways by the
clockwork routine of a decent life or instruc
tion ia needlework. You -cannot marshal
her nor her like by platoons into conversion.
Ten to one, when she leaves the Rosine Asy
lum or the House of the Good Shepherd she
goes back with redoubled zest into her old
life. She is the leper at our gates. Say
what we will, it is hardly safe or practical for
many families to receive her within their
homes, and by intimate fellowship to attempt
her enre. We cannot legislate for her; we
cannot ignore her. She is there, night and
day, an inexorable, obstinate, death-dealing
fact. We cannot even drown and make her
the picturesque shadow of literature.
We find in our late English exchanges an
account of an experiment for the redemption
of fallen women now making at Brighton,
which seems to us to embody so many ele
ments of success that we wish to call to it
the attention of our own reformers. The idea
originated with a woman, the first essential of
success, by the way, in any scheme for the
help of woman. This lady (only known to
us by an initial another good sign) appears
to have stamped her individuality upon every
detail of the plan. The house whioh she gov
erns is not a reformatory, but a home. "A
girl who leaves it to go back to evil ways is
not received into it again; other means are
taken to help her, but that privilege sho is
held to have forfeited. Surely we cannot
learn too early," says Mrs. V., "that justice
is the backbone of mercy, and that the most
merciless thing you can do in the world is to
make sin easy to the sinner." Opposed to this
necessary sternness in her system we find the
keen tact and womanly tenderness by whioh
she makes the home cheerful and heartsome;
avoids clothing the inmates in . uniform,
giviDg them instead well-fitting and becoming
dress. One hint we find especially sugges
tive in the story of a woman who had at
tempted suicide, and whom she wished put
in the way of earning a decent livelihood.
"I want you first," said Mrs. V. to her agent,
"to hire a room with a nice sunny aspect, and
get some flower-pots to put in the window,
Mind, the plants must be in full flower." An
other still more significant hint is to be found
in ber remarks upon the benefit of vehement
religious excitement upon the women whom
she has in charge. They are, she tells us, pe
culiarly susceptible to any such appeals. "A
single, earnest, and rather sensational ad
dress to them on the Prodigal Son, or some
moving portion of Scripture, with some allu
sion to their mothers and their early ho cues,
is enough to throw them into an agony of
uncontrollable weeping. But what have
you gained ? You have only ministered to
the very want of self-control which has been
one of the great sources of all their misery.
Satan knows well enough, that just as a pot
boiling over, for all the noise it
makes, will end in putting out the fire, and
half emptying itself, so if he can get but a
Joung convert to boil over into much talk,
oud professions, and preaching to others,
before he can well stand himself; above all, if
he can get him to boil over in his own estima
tion, and fancy himself something wonderful,
he will soon cool down and be left half empty
with the fire gone out." In conjunction with
this sound sagacity we hear of the childlike
practical faith which prompts her, when a
butcher refused to sacrifice the rent of a
night-house, and so prevented the reclama
tion of its inmates, to go down upon her
knees with him and pray to God to show him
his duty. Tho quiet, earnest prayer had its
effect; the butcher yielded.
The whole story appears to us full of mean
ing. A fallen woman, to be saved, must come
in contact, not with a system or rule, but
with another woman. Not only Christ-like
charity must go out to meet her, but careful,
shrewd sagacity and knowledge of human
nature. And underneath all must be that
faith, downright and absolute, now, as in the
days of the first Magdalene, in a power above
earthly effort. A faith which, in order to
accomplish God's work, would appeal as con
fidently and quietly that reason might be
given to an obstinate butcher, as that the
Angel of Death might be stayed in its course.
TnE PULPIT AND THE PRESS.
From the Baltimore American.
There ought to be, if there is not, a close
svmpatby between the pulpit and the Dress.
They ought to bath aim at the elevation and
improvement of the people, morally and
physically, as well as religiously. We do not
think the press fulfils its entire mission by
the discussion of politics or dissertations on
State and national affairs; neither do we
think that the pulpit comes up to the full
meed of duty or usefulness when it confines
its labors to expounding the Scriptures and
the discussion of church dogmas. The twa
most popular and useful ministers now occu
pying pulpits are the Rev. Mr. Spurgeon, of
London, and Henry Ward Beecher, of Brook
lyn. It will not do to say that they are sensa
sionalists, for the truth is there is nothing
sensational about either of them. Mr. Spur
geon is more of a conversationalist than a
preacher. There ia no effort made by him
to carry away the minds of his ten thou
sand bearers by brilliant flights of fanoy or
by high-Bounding rhetorical flourishes. On
the contrary, he merely converses with his
people, leaning leisurely over the pulpit; but
every word he utters is addressed to the
heart and the understanding. He abounds
in original expressions, quaint similes, and
striking comparisons between Scripture inci
dents and the ooourrenoes of every-day life.
He does not confine himself to the expound
ing of Scripture texts which have been worn
threadbare by repetition, but shows his
henreis wherein tbey fail to corue up to
Scripture requirements in their action1? and
thoughts, as well as in their conduct to their
fellow-men. If preaching a charity sermon,
he would not confine himself to a frequent
repetition of the Scriptural assurance
that "he who giveth to the poor loudeth to
the Lord," but would reach the pockets of his
hearers by showing them wherein it is their
dnty to give of their abundance to their suffer
ing fellow-creatures choorf nlly and ungrudg
ingly. He would appeal to their hearts and
understandings, as well an to their duty as
professing Christians. When the presi un
dertakes a charitable work it is genernlly more
successful than the pulpit, because it presents
the points of the caso in a more practical
light, and depends on appealing to the hu
manity and sympathy of its readers for suffer
ing fellow-man.
Some eleven years since we had the plea
suie of listening to Mr. Spufgeon, forming
one of a congregation of eleven thousand. It
was an ordinary occasion, and to this day we
can remember many points of his interesting
and practical discourse. He had then bean
preaching in London for ten years, and for
eleven years since he has been holding forth
twice every Sunday to congregations of ten
thousand, the building being thronged
to overflow. If he was a sensational
preacher the novelty would have worn itself
out long ago, and the vast edifice which has
been erected for him would have been
a failure. But there is no flagging in the
desire to hear him. The vices and sins
"which do so easily beset us" are handled
without fear of giving offense, and his listen
ers feel that at least a portion of his dis
course is directed especially at their indivi
dual follies. In the thousand other churches
of London one can always find abundance of
vacant seats, but the ten thousand seats of
Mr. Spurgeon's tabernacle are always filled,
and the doors closed on hundreds of others
seeking admission long before the hour for
commencing service.
Nor will it do for any one in this country to
ray that Mr. Beecher is a seusalionalist. He
has at times meddled with matters not strictly
within the province of the pulpit, end has
committed some errors, but no minister has
a more devout or devoted congregation. He
exercises a wide spread influence over the
hearts and minds of the people, not only in
New York and Brooklyn, but throughout the
country. Everything that emanates from his
pen is eagerly perused, and ho recognizes
the power of the press and a part of its mis
sion to be the inculcation of sound moral
principles and the correction of vice and im
morality. He is not satisfied with merely
expounding the Scriptures, but discusses the
incidents and events of the day, not only in
the pulpit, but with his pen, and seems never
to rest from bis labors.
The venerable Joseph Gales, a few years
before his death, declared that an editor
"should never write unless he has something
to write about" unless "what he has to say
will interest and instruct his readers." As a
general thing editors try to follow his advice,
though they may not always be able to attain
the point of securing the attention and ear
nest thought of those whom they address.
They, however, nearly always write with this
object in view. Can the same be said of our
clergymen Could not most of their hearers sit
down intheir libraries and read old sermons on
the same texts, more vigorous, earnoit, and
applicable to the present day, even though
they may have been delivered a century ago ?
A clergyman has a whole week to prepare his
sermon, and one would think that he ought
always to have something brilliant and in
structive, as well as entertaining, to present
to his congregation. The editor has to write
one or two articles a day, and to make up the
subjects on the spur of the moment, without
time for preparation or research.
He cannot shut himself up in
his study, and revise and improve to-morrow
what he has written to-day. The first portion
of the editor's article is often in type before
he has completed the last pages, and it is
frequently the case that he has not even an
opportunity to see the proof sheets. Thus
the minister has the decided advantage, and
if he preaches a dull and uninteresting ser
mon a sermon that will not give his congre
gation something to think about after they
have returned to their homes why, we
rather think he has mistaken his calling. '
In neither Mr. Beeoher's nor Mr. Spurgeon's
churches are there any pageants or ceremo
nials, which some at the present day think
necessary in Protestant churches to get up a
sensation among the people. The services
are of the simplest character, and the attrac
tion consists altogether 'in an effort on the
Eart of these divines to please the ear and the
eart, and improve the understanding, rather
than to dazzle the eye. They flock to their
churches to hear what ia said, and not
to see what is done. They expeot to
be enlightened, edified and instructed,
and neither to be dazzled by brilliant
rhetoric nor amused by tinkling ceremonials.
There are no old sermons revamped at these
churches. Their discourses are original,
fresh, earnest, and sparkling. They, like the
editor, never reproduce the labor of previous
years, and put "old wine in new bottles."
Would that we had a few such live teachers
of the peovle in Baltimore! Our churches
are, many of them, sadly in want of a "sen
sation" of this character something to draw
the people beyond the mere formal duty of
"attending stated preacning.
