Fenianivm ahd Its Remedy—Proposed Recons struction of the British Constitution—The Plan and Its Results. Lonpon, Jan. 11, 1868, ‘The popular excitement in rogard to the Fenians is sradualiy dying away for the present, but it is liable to be aroused again at any moment by some new Fenian outbreak, What happens in Ireland is of very little woterest here, and the recent arrest of the editor of the Wahman at Dublin for seditious bel causes no comment except in the press, although it is hailed with ap out- barst of exocration from ihe Irish organs. Part of the editor's offence, it appears, is the republication in bis paper of articles from such American journals as the can, and of reports of Fenian meotings in the United states, The government must be hard up for proofs of seditious libel when it is Rompelled to inciude these republications, Meanwhile, though all the papers are discussing Fenian affairs, nobody has yet suggested a practical remedy for Irish discontent. The reforme ip the Irish burch, advocated oqually by Disraeli and Gladstone, | may be adopted at the next session of Parliament; but | ‘M% te alroady evident that this will not cover the case, The land reforms advocated by Jobn Bright are iin- possible and would iead logically to agrananism, The project of a separate Parliament for Ireland, recom- mended in the address of the Irish clergy which I sent you last week, finds no favor anywhere. Everybody ays that the patient is very ill; nobody bas a certain ‘cure to prosorib:. 1 do pot know whether any cure could remove Ire- Jand’s discontent. Some countries, like some indivia- wats, bave cancers that cannot be cured. But there isa plan which would at least alleviate the evil, and at the same time remove many other evils of which all classes tn this country now loudly complain. If you would give { tho power and the prominence of an editorial consia- eration it would assuredly attract attention and discug- sion bere, for at no previous time have the leading Amen- tap Journals been so closely read and their opinions 80 anxiously crilicised as since the recent Fenian demon- sirao The plan to which I have to gall your attention is such @ reconstruction of the Hritish constitution as will sim. phiy the government and harmonize and gratify we Prominent oationalities in the kingdom. It is tne American system applied to England, or the English Solonial system appied to bome affairs, Leaving the present im ‘arliament to manage the pohcy of the empire and the domestic allairs of Engiand alone, Jet us have a separate local legislature for Scot- land and another ior Ireland, mavaging the internal policy of these (wo Couatries as a municipal corporation inissysiem is by no means ¢ Mewlt of adoption or ‘operation, aud it will work as well bere as it has done in | Qhe United States und iu the Britieh colonies, Suppose it to be adopted fur ireland, and suppose it to be backed up by appointing one of the English prizces as Viceroy. ‘Then we have ip Ireland a coustamt court which will at- 4raet resident landowners and noblemen. We have, also, a legitiinate feld for the ambition of Irishmen, and @ free vent for their eloquence and their legisiative capa. city. A thousand reiorms in Ireland, whicn are mow jiussed over in the hurry ‘aud crush Of the imperial Parliament, woald thea be fairly con- axdered and speedily inaugurated, In a measure, the Jrwu would be allowed to govern themselves, and, con- sequently, they could have no grounds for complaint, and, ergo, Do Fenianism. ‘Yhero is a! present uo Fenianism im Scotland, ‘Qbere are grave complaints agatast the British gover ment Which this plan of loca: iegisiacuros would at om yemove. T! ut Parliament undertakes (v manage everything, acd the result is that notaing i done, The recent Ketorm bill, for example, stupped the way of ail Jocal legislation. “Railroads, county roads, all the local measures ‘hat secure the comfort aud develop the resources of tue people, are crowded out of Parliament ‘by pational schemes and graud debater, Give Soutiand ® local jegwlatare aud 6 jvcal court, and within ten yeare the prosperity of (he country will be nearly @oubied, These local legislatures will not interfere with the imperial Parliament any more than the Caua- dian Legislature does, On the contrary, they will renieve it of much of ite work and enable it to devote an vided attention lo autyevis of eral junportance, th for Scotland and for Irelaad the pian will be found most satisfactory. ‘If ali the State legislatures in the United States were abolished, and if Congrese should undertake to legisiate for alt the States, the confusion aud anarchy which ‘would ensue Would give you some idea of the condition ‘ef things here under the present Iariiamentary ayste.n. Experience has sbown that Congress cannot even the local aiairs of the District of Coinmbia ery, and yet F’ariiament protends to manage the alirs of the whole kingdom, Substitue for the preseut cumbersome system the elmpie, practical jan of @ central Parliament, assisted by Seoich aud eb leyislatares, and the whole machinery of govern. ment will work better, the wheels wiil be unciogged apd all causes of discontent will be readily removed by she sultrages of the peo) le themselves, There is no- thing in Unis scheme which seorived with suspicion fm he resali.
