TUE DOMINION TROUBLES.
Patriotic Americans have had no reason to
tibia well of Thomas D'Arcy McGee. But
•they regard his assassination with abhorrence.
He bated and maligned the United States,
but he was sincere in his opinions, and coura
geous in expressing them. In becoming a
citizen of Canada, his loyalty to his sovereign
became a passion, and he made himself
eared as well as hated by those of his farmer
countrymen who have been beguiled into
Fenianism. This well-known fact has led to
the inference that his murder is a Fenian
work, to be added to the longhst of dastardly
outrages that have brought a cause into disre
pute that might, if properly and honorably
maintained, have won the respect of the
world.
The assassination at Ottawa has produced
throughout the Dominion a feeling of horror,
mingled with alarm, such as has never before
been excited in the provinces. At onoe
there are suspicions raised tika formidable
secret organization of a rev tionary cha
-racier. It is declared that the murderer is a
New York Fenian, and if this be so, it is to
be hoped that he will be caught and hung.
It is also rumored that the French habitans
of Lower Canada—now the province of Que
bec—are acting in concert with the Fenians.
This is a very improbable thing, for there
is no intelligible reason for any sympathy be
tween the'French and the Irish in Canada.
The French of Lower Canada are the simplest
,and most contented of all the inhabitants.
They are descendants of French of the old
ante-revolutionary regime, and they prefer
`their present condition as subjects of Queen
Victoria to any visionary pcheme of re
annexation to France under a Bonaparte. If
any of thein have been seduced into co-opera
tion with the Fenians, such a crime as the
murder of McGee is likely to disgust them
with the alliance. •
The provincial subjects of England have,
thus far, had no reason to be pleased with
the new system of government, styled a
Dominion, which the Queen's Ministers have
arranged for them. Nine months of expe
rience have shown that it works badly and
expensively. One of the members of the
Confederation, Nova Scotia, is almost in an
attitude of rebellion, and everywhere there is
more of dissatisfaction and party bitterness
than was ever before known. With Fenian
ism besides working secretly, and with assas
sination coming to horrify and alarm the
people, the new Dominion cannot be re
garded as quite so happy and pacific a coun
try as its advocates like to represent.
EOPEACIRRIENT ENDORSED.
An examination of the Connecticut elec
tion shows that while the country districts
gave Jewell over 1,900 majority, they were
overridden by the frauds perpetrated in a
few of the worst Wards of New Haven,
where a larger majority was polled for Eng
lish than that cast by the rest of the State for
his antagonist. Fortunately these gross frauds
were localized at a single point, and while
they served to control the State ticket, they
could not prevent the triumph of the Repub
lican representative ticket, which, in this case
was of far'greater value. The practicill pint
gained, not only in Connecticut but throughon
the country, wherever elections have been
held, is the endorsement of the impeachment
of Andrew Johnson. Senator Dixon, by his
perfidy, has made himself, most unwillingly,
a tower of strength to the party which he has
deserted. He has stimulated the Republicans
of Connecticut to a determined effort to repu
diate him and they have succeeded.
In •Ohio, although there was no general
issue before the people, there was the same
desire to express their approval of impeach
ment, and the municipal elections iu
many directions show large Republican gains.
In Indiana, Orth, Shanks and Julian are re
nominated by heavy majorities. In Madison,
the capital of Wisconsin, the Republicans
made a large gain. In St. Paul, Minnesota,
the Republican ticket is elected by a, hand
some majority, for the first time in many
years:
These are, to be sure, but scattering indi
cations of the great sentiment of the public;
but they show that Mr. Johnson, so far as he
has Indulged his favorite amusement of
"going to the country," has only met with
his usual success, and that he had far better
have stayed at home.
PETTY Ell PE liTi NE NCE.
There is a cool impertinence about Mr.
Johnson's Ad _interim that deserves some
sharp rebuke from the powers that be in
Washington. The ridiculous figure which
General Lorenzo Thomas has presented as he
,has paraded himself in full uniform before
the Impeachment Court, is had enough for a
regular officer of the United States Army; but
his attendance at the weekly Cabinet meet
ings atihe White House is a piece of positive
Insolence which should not go unnoticed or
unpunished. The commonest dictates of
delicacy or decency would suggest the
propriety of his refraining to play
;the part of a sham Secretary of War, at the
,very titne that the man who has made ,him
his worliden tool is one trial for the offence.
But age does not always make men wise. who
-were born foolish, and this roan, whose piti-
JEd bragWocia about the Was Office has
become the laughing stock of the country,
4aeel►4s hlinseltwitlt the gravity of an owl at
.the, Council table of the :President, preciiely
tis It ha had•a right to be there. It hurts
"aptly to haTIO L9renz Thomas indulge
himself in,these petty impertinences, but it iv
anything but creditable to the cloth which he
adorns so very badly.
ROMANCE ANIP ItEALITII.
That this is a practical and a utilitarian age
is demonstrated constantly, and, not unfre
quently, whimsically. Take, for example,
the formal entrance of a menagerie and circus
combined, into the city: The gilded chariot
for barbaric display might have done service
for the grand Khan of Tartary on some state
occasion,or it would have graced, in a showy
sort of way, the magnificent. Pe of "The
Field of the Cloth of Gold," when Henry
VIII. went forth to meet his brother sover
eign of France. This great vehicular pile of
Yankee patent axles, and improved running
gear,with a more than Oriental superstructure
of gold-leaf, Dutch foil, grotesque carving
and violent papier mache ornamentation,
heads the line, and what with the musicians
who fill it, and the eight or ten "in hand"
which draw it along, it is an object of prime
attraction. The mounted knights, in tin
helmets and leather and muslin armor, follow,
escorting equestrian tinselled and spangled
maids of honor and cotton-velvet Queens of
Love and Beauty. The train of "high-bred
dames" and "courtly lords and gentlemen"
are generally well-mounted; but faces that
never would be mistaken for the frontispiece
of a Crichton,a Howard, or an Essex; a Lady
Montague or a Countess of Capulet, with
"Brummagem" jewels and appointments,
dispel the chivalric illusion, and while the
unskillful may gaze and admire, the judicious
will smile and, perchance, inly grieve. Next
in order to the cheap and showy triumphal
car come the elephants, large and small, the
camels, and the other interesting quadrupeds
that can safely be trusted afoot. The long
line of gaudily painted vans bring up the rear,
and the youthful fancy is left to run riot
in its attempts to penetrate the hid
den mysteries of the enclosed cages,
and to essay guesses as to which of them
contains the great performing lion, which the
great Bengal tiger, which the roaring hyena,
which the leopards, and, nearest and dearest
to the youthful heart,which of the mysterious
vans enclose within their grated and wooden
sides the monkeys and the baby ponies. But,
as the BULLETIN has frequently urged, ehi
• valry is not compatible with trade and manu
factures; tin armor rind mu in-ring tourna
ments are out of place in an age of locomo
tives, iron-clad ships, needle . -guns,fast-presses
and Rocky Mountain tunnels. Nur do we be.:
neve that barbarism in display, or in ariy
other way, can be made to accord with the
practical experience of American life in L the
Nineteenth Century.
A whimsical exhibition of the mingling to
gether of barbaric show and common sense
utilities was made on Chestnut street on a
very recent occasion, and the show carried a
moral with it to the thoughtful mind. Ve
hicles of every description became mingled
up with gilded chariots and showy
vans; the capering steeds of the
sawdust arena were jostled by the
sober and useful dray horse; dirty shoe
blacks, unchivalrous looking porters and
brawny laborers in untidy shirt-sleeves, got
themselves entangled among maids of honor
and gentlemen-in-waiting; and there was no
appeal for knight or lady except to the
cudgel-wielding conservators of the peace
who stand like blue-coated statues, at the
street corners, and who care no more fur
cotton-velvet doublet than for linsey-wolsey
jacket. The order of the procession was
somewhat in this wise : Barbaric chariot,
band and prancing steeds. Dray loaded with
hams and codfish. Lords and ladies mounted
on capering palfreys with an admixture of
shoe-blacks and gentlemen in the pea-nut
intereit. City Railway car. Elephants afoot,
with an energetic body-guard of ragged
Urchins. Furniture car containing iron
castings and machinery. Camels afoot, pre
ceded and flanked by admiring juve
niles. Wagon having emblazoned upon its
sides, "Cold Spring Ice Company." Vau con
taining voracious beast. Milk wagon.
Another van containing untameable. quad
ruped. Cart loaded with Pennsylvania an
thracite coal. More vans containing un
plactical animals, and more practical every
(fay wagons, the whole forming a strange
Medley of wild beasts, carts, cars, drays and
iiagons. The circus-menagerie people do
wisely enough to make their barbaric-
Oivalric display, even although it is made
colder difficulties. They mean business; and
llttainess, to be successful, must be pushed.
'Pie folly is in the attempt to carry-exploded
j 001503 and things into the practical details of
fdal life, and how foreign it is to the spirit of
'Ale age was well illustrated by the scene
welave attempted to describe. If the
muffin-ring chivalry of the South would read
.the lessons of the time aright, it would greatly
tend to their own advantage and aid the so
lution of the great political problem of the

'The fire-eaters of Memphis have on hand
a scheme for supplying to the town of
felons, in Arkansas, a stock of trades-peo
ple, mechanics and servants, white and black,
who shall supplant and drive away all Radical
working people and stock the town with
Conservative operatives. A letter from that
*embryo rebel paradise which was recently
imblished in a Memphis paper, enumerates
the 'different classes of workmen who are
.most needed in order to rid the • town of the
Radical element. Among other things they
want are a couple of barber-shops. They
must be "neat and elegant," 'and

drawbacks to the felicity of the Conservative
"Nig," in the shape of bowie-knives and re
volvers in the hands of his playful but
high-spirited customers; but the open
ing is well worthy of the conside
ration of all colored gentlemen of
tonsorial skill, musical accomplishments,
and conservative principles. In the mean
time the admirers of personal neatness will
indulge the hope that a supply of Conserva
tive "Nigs" may be speedily forthcoming,
else the hundred and fifty Conservative gen
tlemen of Helena must go unshorn and =-
shaved until they look like so many unkempt
and uncivilized savages. It would be a pity
to have them mistaken for such.
But the Helena "Conservatives" are to be
congratulated upon their advance in civiliza
tion and in the amenities of social life. A
few years ago the Radical element of the
town would have been got rid of in a much
more summary manner, and the rope, the
pistol, the bowie knife, the tar-bucket and
the feather-sack would have rendered the im
portation of Conservative " Nigs " unneces
sary. Helena is certainly improving.
Ai is a laudable curiosity that induces men,
uariatevatt*, to desire to look upon the great
and dittinguished of their own kind, and the
Man who can cater legitimatery to this mild
form of hero worship by inducing the idol to
place himself on exhibition, is certain to ac
quire fortune. If this is true of living heroes,
how much more deserving of success is the
man whose enterprise resuscitates the great
departed, and enables him to strut once more
upon the stage! 'The announcement in the
Press this morning that "Thomas Jefferson
will succeed Booth at the Walnut," although
at first calculated to startle those who were
not prepared for such a statement, cannot fail
to gratify the living admirers of the departed
but returning statesman, who having? just
completed his one hundred and twenty
fifth year, may reasonably be supposed to be
in "the sere and yellow leaf."
Precisely how he has been induced to burst
his cerements, and revisit the pale glimpses
of the moon, we do not know the Ptcss
has this intelligence exclusively—but accept
ing the fact, we cannot aufficieatly praise the
enterprise of the managers of the theatre.
In this degenerate day of flippant and foolish
drama, even the ghost—if such it be—of a
great man, may furnish us with refreshing
interludes between the acts of undressed bal
let and of criminal sensationalism. What
characters the revivified Thomas will sus
tain, we cannot tell; but we suggest that a
repetition of his great act of writing the
Declaration of Independence would bring
down the house, especially if, the modern
scenic artist's talent 'could be called into
requisition to furnish. a life-like ,representa
tion of the Birthplace of American Freedom
in the background.
The' only objection to the appearance of
this supernatural star is; that it will establish
an unpleasant precedent.. Other managers
will, of course,make immediate arrangements
to call into action the rest of our ex-Presi
dents,and we shall see the departed John Tyler
and the mummified Old Public F unctionary
Attitudinizing in sock and buskin and flesh
colored tights, to amused and disgusted audi
ences. But a moment of Jefferson will, per
haps, compensate us for a milleniurn of these,
and if the sage of Monticello can be induced
to make a political speech or two before the
curtain, he will not only add to the condem
nation of these two, but will crush the Demo
cratic party in time for the Presidential elec
tion. On the whole, his appearance is not to
be regretted, and while we censure the Press
for the niggardliness of its announcement, we
warmly congratulate the managers of the
Walnut upon the prospective filling of their
coffers through the efforts of the great un
cofflned.
The State Senate, yesterday, concurred in
the House bill which looks to the preserva
tion of fish in the streams throughout the
State, and to the systematic stocking of the
waters, and the propagation of fish in them.
The enormous cost of food in the Unites
States, in comparison to what it wi a few
years ago, admonishes us to put ii stop to
the lavish wastefulness that has always dis
tinguished the American people, and it also
directs our attention toward the immense
natural 'resources that lie within our reach.
The waters of Pennsylvania formerly pro
duced in almost unlimited quantities the most
delicious fish that swim. Destructive systems
of catching them and an entire neglect of the
adoption of any means of keeping up the
stock, have caused the salmon, shad and
trout, that used to be so abundant, to become
very scarce and dear. In France the propa
gation of fish is as much a matter of business
as the raising of cattle or the growing of
wheat; while in England they are stocking
lakes and .streams with trout and salmon.
Pisciculture is almost or quite as much a ne
cessary pursuit as agriculture or horticulture,
and it is eminently worthy of scientific atten
tion and legislative protection.

Relief From Political Disabilities.
W.tsinycrrox, April B.—llfessrs. Blodgett and
Parrot, the Committee appointed by the Consti
tutional Convention of Georgia to visit Wash
ington and present the list of names (over five
hundred of them) recommended for relief from
political disabilities; etc., publish - to-day an
address to the people of Georgia, in•which they
state the result of their mission hither, saying
among other things:
"Congressmen seem to be somewhat cautions
about relieving persons in rebel States from po
litical disabilities. And we are induced to believe
that very few, If any, will be finally relieved until
our election is over, and UM known how the elec
tion has gone, and how those deserving and
needing relief have stood in the contest.
"We are clearly of opinion that if our consti
tution is ratified by the people, and the recon
struction party succeed in the eftetion of officers,
in the organization of the State government,who
arc true and loyal men, and who can take the
required oaths, then our homestead and relief
measures will be safe."

A STRANGE STORY RE-AFFIRMED
Corroboiative Testimony
MR, CHASE AND HIS SECRETARY
ADMISSIONS AND SUPPRESSIONS
FROM CALIFORNIA.
The Presidential Succession.
(Special Deepatch to the rlinadelphia Evening Ballethtl
WASHINGTON, April S.—Reference was made in
these despatched on Monday to a rumor which
was afloat in political circles that the Chief
Justice was accredited with being the author of
the five column editorial in the National
Intelligencer, endeavoring to prove that
neither Mr. Wade nor Mr. Colfax was legally en..
titled to the Presidential chair In case Mr. Johnson
was convicted. Your correspondent stated that
the article alluded, to was taken to the Intelli
gencer office by the Chief Justice's private
secretary, and that it was In the secretary's
handwriting. This despatch caused great com
motion in political circles, and was the principal
theme of conversation yesterday. Mr. Chase's
friends, alive to the injury that this statement
would do him unless it was successfully contra
dicted, set about accomplishing this object.
This morning's Intelligencer,has an article on
the subject, but studiouslY avoids denying that
Mr. Chase or some friend of his wae" the author
of the article. One of the editors this morning
declined to say that the article was not in the
handwriting of Mr. Chase's secretary, or to deny
that he brought it to the office for publication.
Mr. Chase's secretary called up your corres
pondent last evening in order to have the des
patches of Monday corrected. He objected
strongly to 'the despatch because the inference
was drawn that the Chief Justice inspired the
articled He denied taking the article to
the Inteigencer, but carefully avoided deny
ing that he was connected with its author
ship. The secretary was very indignant at what
he termed the course of many Repnblicans
in hounding Mr. Chase, and said that
be and other friends of • the Chief
Justice bad about come to the conclusion never
to vote the Republican ticket again. In reply to
a question as to whether the article did not
ac
cord with Mr. Chase's views, the Private
Secretary said it did, but this did not
allow the inference to be drawn that he was con
nected with the article.
Notwithstanding the statements telegraphed
from here last night denying that Mr. Chase,
his private secretary or any of his friends had
anything to do with the article, your
correspondent reiteratks the contents of his
despatch of Monday, aid will, if it becomes ne
cessary, prove its correctness in every particular.
This statement is not based upon any rumors
heard, but upon facts and proofs, which cannot
be easily overcome.
It may be interesting to know that during a
conversation with Senator Wilson, a few days
ago, Chief Justice Chase expressed views pre
cisely similar to those set forth in the Intelli
gcncer article.

partial aftoi ante forming and expressing an
opinion.
Mr. Davis (Ky.) was not sure that the measure
was not an innovation on the sacred right of an
Impartial trial by jury, and concurred in the
Opinion expressed by the last speaker. He
would sooner yield the whole government than
this inestimable right.
During Mr. Davis's remarks, Senators Trum
bull and Johbson were engaged in smiling con
venation in frost of him. .
Mr. Davis—Senators may laugh and snicker,
but their scoffs and gibes will not drive me from
opposing this innovation.' I do not care what
their high position was in secrecy. That is
not the way to meet opposition to an important
measure.
Both gentlemen rose in turn and were under
stood to make a disavowal.
Mr. Davis said ho was perfectly indifferent, and
had been speaking In all seriousness.
Mr. Prelinghttysen (N. J.) held that in these
days of universal newspaper reading the expres
sion of hypercritical opinion based on rumor
does not militate against the impartiality ofju-
TOM.
The bill was found to correct certain injurious
rulings frequently made by Courts.
Mr. Bayard again opposed the bill.
The bill then passed by a vote of 37, to 8.
Mr. Sumner (Mass.) introduced a joint resolu
tion proposing an amendment to the Constitu
tion of the United States. •

duced in March last by Senator Cragin, and re
fcrred to the Committee on Judiciary.
The amendment is as follows:
No person elected as President or Vice Presi
dent, who has once served as President, shall
afterward be eligible to either office. Referred to

lag an advertisement in the New York Times for

ance of $115,500, due under the contract with tke
Collins Steamship line,and directing the Secretary
of •the Navy to report all the factsconnected with

of the United States, passed February 24th, 1868,
and the proceedings of the House amendatory
thereof or supplements thereto, be and the same

thousand. copies of Mr. Butler's opening ad
dress.
No business was in order except by unanimous

and Doyle were arrested last night, on suspicion
of complicity in tke murder of Mr. McGee. It is

M. to-day a man named Dent, employed as a
night watchman at the Parliament building, shot
himself and died Immediately.
The body of Mr: McGee was to-day conveyed to
the Roman Catholic Cathedral, where the funeral
service was performed, after which the remains
were sent by a special train to Montreal, attended
by the members of the Cabinet and other dis
tinguished men, as pall-bearers. Eulogies on
the deceased were delivered in Parliamentlast
night.
The cause of the assassination is generally at
tributed to Fenianism, which Mr. McGee had
done so much to expose in Canada. The family
of Mr. McGee will be amply provided for by the
Government. Special despatches from the differ
ent• provinces represent. that a feeling of the
deepest regret and indignation prevails through
out the country.

Sketch of Thomas D'Arcy McGee.
Mr. McGee has been for some years past a Prominent
citizen of Canada and a distinguished member of the
;overnrn era of the Dominion. lie was well-known us an
able Parliamentary debater and statesman of more than
ordinary talents.
Mr. McGee was born in Carlingford, Ireland, April 13,
18'25, and received his education at Wexford, where his
father, Mr. James McGee, held a position in her Majesty's
Custom House. At the age of seventeen Mr. MeGemeamo
to the United States and settled in Boston. where he
became connected with the , Boston Pilot, working
in the composing room at a smll weekly salary. On his
arrival he was friendless and pennileee.but his industrious
habits and, above all, his fine talents soon brought about
hint,friende Rad improved his condition. He was in a
obeli. time placed upon the editorial staff as a leading
writer, and finally became editor of the Pilot, performing
the duties at the same time of foreign editor on the Daily
Times. After remaining a few S ears in Boston bi- to
turned to his native laud, and became attached tot the
Dublin Nation as an editorial writer. When the
revolutionary troubles broke out in 1848 he , was empire.

land and seek refuge in this country. On his arrival here
he PlNrttd. with John Mitchel, the American Cell, an or
man of Irish feeling and rentiment. Abandoningcthie
et, tertriee on account of financial difficultiee, after re
maining a while longer in New York as assort of political
leader of his countryman here he went to Canada and
settled in Montreal. There his political principles neemed
to bare undergone a decided and radi.
cal change. Once an ardent republican,
he now became a strong royalist, and was soon
taken in band by the government and placed in the path
of political preferment and success. Ile was President of
the Executive Connell in Canada from 1864 to 1867, rind
held the office of Minister of Agriculture, was made phief
commissioner to the Parts Exposition in 1855 and to the
Dublin Exhibition in 1664. and also to the late Paris Ex
position. He was also a delegate to all the confer
cam held to promote the union of the colon lee
of British North America. In advancing this

to the meet inexcusable personalities, and if he did not
succeed in impreesing his own views upon the minds
of his opponents he never failed to make them his

BOSTON, April B.—There has been quite an ex
citing scene to-day in the Convention of the
Massachusetts HoreceopathieMedicalSoeiety, on
the admission of Mrs. Mercy B. Jackson as a
practising fornale . physielan in Boston. The.de
bate was very animated, the opponents' claiming
that the question was a seriqns one, and quoting
from Scripture to show that the relation of a wife
-to a husbaucl-was the same as that of the Chair&
to Christ, and that she should
not be subject to the temptations.
which would arise in the course of their profes
sion. One of the opponents argued that it would
tend to produce effeminate men and masculine
women, and said that if women are to engage
in medical practice they should stop by
themselves and confine their practice
strictly to the afflicted of their
own sex. Those who favored Mrs. Jack
son's admission to the society argued that there
ought to be no objection if she possessed the
requisite ability, and that if women become
members of the society, germane subjects
cold be discussed at titer meetings just the
same, and that women's presence would elevate
the discussions of delicate i matters. • After con
siderable discussion of thla nature on both sides,
the question was taken and the admission„of Mrs.
Jackson was refused by a vote of 33 against 31,
which created great enthusiasm among those
composing the majority.
