TORONTO, Oct. 27.—From all parts of the provinces dispatebes are coming, demanding tbat no mercy should be sbown to the Fenians feund guilty. I think it is donbtfal it the Crown can tind evidence strong enough tocon. vince the jury that the Rev Mr. Lumsden was in any way connected with the raiders last June. Whe threats made by the Feniane in New York to avenge the death of these men, if executed, will do great injury w the prison- ers. Petitions are to be circulated immediate- ly, and sentto.the Governor General. to be forwarded to the Home Government, to have the sentence commuted to imprisonment. ‘Three prisoners were arraigned to-day, and plead not gary. ‘Their names are avid Wuater, Patrick Norton, and Dan'l Brum- mond. The counsel forthe American citizene, Mr. Kennett McKenzie, intormed tbe court that he was not ready, and asked permission to postpone the trials until Wednesday next. The counsel for the Crown, Mr. J. H. Came- Tou, agreed to the postponement, and the trials of the other prisoners were then postponed by his lordship unt next Wednesday at 100'clock Pears are expressed by @ mujority of the peo- ple thatthe Fenians may escape before the aay of their execution through the aidof their iriends from the other side. There are now in the city over five hundred Irish Americans, apparently owtof employment, and waiting to do something, which, I believe, ts to aid the presoners contined ia the old jail, by overpow- eringtheir cuards, and then escaping to the United States. The Fenian prisoners at Cora- wall are to be indicted on Monday for high treason, and are to be tried on the following ‘Wednesday, ifthe grand jury find trae bilts against them. Toronto, Oct. 23.—The military authorities have orders to increase the guard at the old jail where the Fenians are confined, The tbreats made by the Fenians of New York ‘Will compel the Crowa authorities to deal to- ward the pr:sorers more severely than they otherwise would.

D. C.. TUESDAY. OCTOBER 30. 1866. “Camp Any Geed Thing Come Out of Naza- reth No. IIT (continwed). Steps necessary to invagd- Tate a change of policy. 1g answering the query, “In what doe: the remedy consist!” we have calied attention to the fmpertance of self-reliance, non-depend- ence, and home pride as means to the accom- Plisbment of the end in view. The remedy consists further in a disposition and determination to destroy the freling as well as the fact of absolute and entire dependence on the General Government iu all mattere of business and occupation. To frown down and render unpopular tne wild Rant alter Federa Office to the exclusion of all other mmteresis. “lt must be that offences (offices!) come, but wo to them by whom they come” 1t mast be in the capital of the mation that office-holders and otfice-seekers shail exist, but wo toevery fa- ture prospect of the metropolis uniess enter- prise can be divorced from “toadyism.” Is would materially enhance the goed of the city were & statute enacted prohibiting the holding of & Federal position not focal in its functions by eresident. But if this be impracticable, 4 Prevision that application for office om the parr Of a -esident should prevent appointment there- to—or, in other words, that the “ofllce should seck the man,” would be a (rod-send to this locality. While glad to receive the increase of busi- ness which the wants of the Government bring, this should be considered only as an adjanct, and not as ameans of sustenance. Let the peo. ple be educated up to a self-sustaining point by personal efforts and exertions at home, and by commerce bronght to their doors from other places, and we may langh at the failure of an appropriation bill. Let the surplus received from Federal disbursemeuts—which are the accidents—be invested in railroads and cauals and steam lines and water powers, in facto- nes and warehouses and joint sto:k compaa- ies, im foundries and shops and stores, then we may be oblivious of policies, of commit- tees, of threatened removal of the seat of Gov- ernment. Let duty to ourselves be done: we will become ‘ Washington, the commercial city,” as well as + Washington, the public of- fice,” and the last will be beard of duli times, ruined trade, worthless promissory notes, and irresponsible debtors. The sixth ingredient of the proposed remedy consists in @ definite and intelligible arrange- ment of the laws which govern the city, as ap- plicable to the rights, privileges, powers and duties of the whole people, as also the enact- mentof such laws as the advancement of the age have proved to be necessary. As been statea in the article on ‘causes of non-development,” the laws in force are applicabl+ principaliy to tne last century. By literal execution fines and | mend are yet payable in so many pounds of tobacco! Deeds of conveyance are yalidin proportion to the amount of verbiage contained in them. Deeds ol trast demand formalities sufficient to craze the brain of a Webster before they can be f_re- closed Corporations for mechanical or man- ufactaring purposes require the specinl legis- lauion of Congress. Themanof wealthecan ot piace & poruon of his means in partaership with ‘he nan of brains and skill without cap- ital tpless he risks his entire fortune in the venture. Washington requires and should demand a CODE OF LAWS, prepared under the direction of competent legal and business men who know the necessities anc disqualifications of tbe people. Washington ne & COMMISSION which will F wicape’ the ability to prepare (without the delay of a litetime) a book of stat- utes—cailit ‘Laws of the Disirict of Colum. oja." if you please—comprising ad the good contained in existing enactments, freed trom all the antediluvian, anti-American ‘iron. heeled” legislation of the past; regulating real estate transfers; quietmmg titles and disputes as loownership; entranchising labor and cap tal trom orerous restrictions; authorizing“ and protecting the formation cf companies with corporate powers; simplifying collection of debis, dc., &c., and upon tre prompt report of such &@commission the citizens (in their indi. vidual and collective capacity) should be “in- stant in season and oat of 8e1son” to procure such legislative sanction as would secure, be- yond peradventure, the validity of the Bill ot ights. Why is it that under existing laws, every- thing lags or fails here, although a success aad atriumph in other cities! Why is it that eecu- rities which elsewhere are alma: tenders, are here only legal encumbrances! Example may answer these questions better than argu- ment. Mr. A., a merchant of Washington, oftwenty years standing, having in his possession notes secured upon real estate, wortu three or four tumes the Amountof their face, wishes to im- prove his place of business in a manner which will add materially to the beauty of the street op which the lot is situated. He takes his securities to his broker (iu Washington) for sale. He is immediately aud frankly told that the laws governing the enforcement of such trusts (in case of possible necessity of fore- closure) are so ambiguous and tedious that he (the broker) is afraid’ to take them, kindly stating, At the same time, his willingness to negotiate Mr. A.’s personal note ef sixty or ninety days. As A.'s object is not to borrow money, but to eell, what ‘he considers a good and valuable commodity, be retires, and next finds bis way into the “office” of “a gentleman who sometimes buys paper.” The notes are inspected and “approved Our friend finds that the “occasional operator” is willing to take the asset—“properly endorsed”—at one per cent. per month discount from face value, (interest uccrued and accruing to be thrown in)" As the notes have perbaps an average of sbout five years to ran, Proposiuon amounts to giring away the paper for forty per cent. of its real value, aud allows the “pound- of-flesh”’ man eighteen per cent. per annum for the ure of bis money. Now carry the same case to New York city. imagine Mr. A. to be a resident of that city. He knows tat the laws of New York are so framed 4S to pretect business transactions and to sim- plhiy transfers. Heving such securities as Mentioned above, he sends (not necessary for bm togo) to his broker, a description of tne property on which the ercumbrance is laid. ‘The only inquiries madeare, + Whatis the val- ue of the property? Is the title clear?” These satisfactory, the broker notifies his customer that the funds are to hts credit; the ouly diflicalty inthe uwegotiation having been ina selection trom the number who sought after the invest- Taent. Washington cannot obtain New York inyest- ments. because New York never invests away trom home and cannot uegotiate at home, Be- cause home laws are made to drive away capi- tal. New York con and dves get all the furplas wealth of Washington, because the Washing- touian is sure of his security in New York, but would risk it, 1! invested here, where it prop- erly belongs. “Rrivar.” Corporation Affairs. s Boary OF ALDERMEN, October 29, 1560.—The Bourd met at the usual hour.

As soon ys the building is completed there will be placed ip itthirteen schools, and the rent which would otherwise baveto ve paid for fo many rooms would be saved. Mr. Moore (Mr. Joyce im the chair) said be could pot give bis consent to the borrowing of $50,000 for the purpose of building this edifice while there were pledged debts of the corpora- tion unpaid, They were admonished by toe continued increase of the debt he impro- priety of borrowing money. There isa special tax levied for the erection of the school houses, and be saw no reason why the Mayor could not devote that money to this purpose He stated that he would at tbe proper time move an indefinite postponement and offer the ful- lowing: Resoived ty the Board of Common Council, That the Mayor be and ne is hereby requested to curry into effect the act enutied “A t Peso. jution in reterence to the erection of a school building én the first school district,” approved the izth ot March, 1564, by expending in the erection of suid building, as was evidentiy m- tended by eaid act, all the revenue aerived trom tbe tax of five cents on the hundred dol- Jare, levied in the years 1664, 1965, and IH66, for the epecial purpose of erecting schoot buildings.

Mr. Wright said that the money coming in now should be devoted to paying off the «n- debtedness of the city. and the funds for the purpose named sbould be anticipated. It was evident that the object of the amendment was to kill the measure. The simple question is whether you are or are not in favor of the pub- lic schools Mr. Moore said that he was in favor of the Schools, but Was pot in favor of an induscrim- inate borrowing of money for their support while the charter provides that no appropria- on over $10,440 sball be made unless with the consent of two-thirds of the yoters at a regular elecuon.
