EB NEW DOMINION TROUBLES, Preparations for War with the Fenians.

MOoNTRRAL, April 21, 1870. Weare having very stirring times here just now, And if the HERALD readers can refresh their memo- fea with the existing scenes of confusion ard alarm Sown in Virginia when Uld John Brown invaded the “sacred goil,’’ they can, perhaps, form something of ‘gn idea of the great hudbub and commotion which whe frightened Canadians are enduring. It seems, 4m fact, that the panic of fear in the Old Dominion, State at the appearance of Brown and his miniature army was legs intense and lesa general than that now prevalling in the New Dominion where, up to ‘tins time, not an armed invader or @ single svout has been discovered, ‘in times of peace pre- pare for war,’ 13 evi leutly a saying which the Brit- wh government believes in during the existence and Growth of Fenianism in the United States; and, fur- thermore, it is very clear that, like old Oliver Cromwell, while they trust, m God they will keep the powder dry. There may be a very Jew within the borders of the Dominion who snare 3n the belief that this whole excitement is @ farce of she government, or certain government officials, to accomplish some purpose for their own political or financial gain, but the majority of the people seem to reckon that an actual aggressive movement Is to be made upon their territory, and the reports of Fe- Mian movements, conventions and congresses which are daily received from the United States tend to atrengthen rather than weaken this belicf. Therc- fore, accepting the situation as it really is, with the Red River troubles on one side, @ threatened Fenian invasion on the other, a growing feeling of annexa- tion everywhere, a total suspension of the habeas Corpus act—all these disturbing elements and their kindred incidents have, as may be supposed, brou, ht upon the Dominion people a fever from which they will not oon recover, THE DREADED FENIANS have, as is weil known, been the chief cause of alarm here auring the past week or ten days. ‘The excitement has been more general and the feeling of Insecurity from invasion more sincere than has been admitted by avy of the Canadian papers, The government still adheres to the declarations made by Sir John A. Macdonald that the hostile organization 1s more active at this moment than it nas been for years, and, ins.ead of relapsing into qutet, prepara- tons are daily going on to resist an expected attack from the Vermont frontier. Montreal, it is said, is the point the sons of the Emerald isle will aim at, and hence this old and staid city is somewhat dis- turbed. Some 2,000 miiitia soldiers and volunteers are under arms day and night, and detectives and Spies baunt the hotels, depots and drinking salouns in search of Fenians in disguise, Every stranger coming into the city ts spoited and followed until his business Is discovered, and even then a sharp watch 1s kept upon every movement, . THE LERALD REPORTER SUSPECTED ASA YENIAN SPY. Upon arriving here your reporter ha” a tittle ex- perience which ig worth tetling, to illustrate how positively alarmed the people ars here. it was rain- {ng quite hard when the train reached the Bonaven- ture station, and, together with other passengers, Itook a seat in the St. Lawrence Hall coach, It 13 needless, perhaps, to remark that in this vehicle, as well as all otbers piying bewween the hotels and the depot, there was une of the government detectives, When we arrived at the st. Lawrence the names of all were duly registerea. The devective then ascer- tained from the clerk of the hotel those whom be knew and those whom he did not, ana then watched the movements of the latter unfo: Your re- pomer aud one other gentieman were among those whom the detective was suspicious ol, and our perambulations were industriousiy Jollowed by the skiliul hawkshaw. Happily neither O1 us said or did anything to warranc that inter- ferenco with personal liberty which @ suspension of the habeas corpus ailows; but still the devective Kept on our track. In the evening your reporter met an acquamtance—an old citizen of Montreal-— and spent a few moments in conversation with him, and when the interview was finished the keen offl- cial learned from his iellow-citizen. that the one whom he had suspected as a possible enemy to the Dominion was only an inoitensive observer and chronicler of the stirring events which are now go- Ing on here. An introduction followed soon after, which resulted in @ Knowledge of the surveillance which I had ignorantily undergone during the few hours immediately preceding, 1 also learned that every city of any size mm the Dominton is le le by detectives, and strange women as well as scrange men are aiso closely watched. 1p tie American cities and towns contiguous to the Canada ime there are also secret spies and agents, Who muke datiy reports of their observations to the head of the governmeat at Ot- taws, and it is upon the information thus gathered, together with toat previously furnished Minister Thornton by Secretary bish, that the autnorities base their fearful apprehensions. THE KED COATS ALONG THE BORDER. The whole frontier along the Vermont line 13 strongly guarded by British volunteers. Probably Not less than 6,000 are already in te field, and itis in contemplation to send out more men in a few days. Two thousand recruited in and around the city for immediate service were reviewed on the Champ de Mars this afternoon in the presence of a large concourse of people. There is @ large force at St. Armand, the first station this side ol the line o the Vermont Central Railroad, and aiso at the © John’s station, a few miles nearer Montreal. ‘The headquarters and bases of supplies are near the railroad, but the line ol defence ex- tends into the interior m either direction @ distance of some ten miles. The force comprises several batteries and two or three cavalry com- panies, but the majority 1s made up of iafantry, ‘Lhe troops are all members of the miitia or von. teers freshiy recruited for special frontier service against the Fenians. No regulars have been called Out, and probably never willbe, on account of the opportunity which would be afforded tugin to de- wert. The volunteers, as & general thing, are not of that material which would be likely to tutina- date a much inferior iorce of the irish veterans wao fought in the war for the Union, and are now re- puted to beiong to the Fenian forces. Many of them are mere boys—some not over six- teen years of ago—und all are awateurs in the handling of arms. When the troops arrived at 8s. Johus the colonel in command of one regiments placed a guard on the railroad bridge and around the depot, and an our or two later, when he made a tour of the lines, he found several of his gallant warriors weeping bitterly, and upon interrogating them he tound they had suddenly discovered a fondiess for home. He supplied their posts with soldiers of more mature years, aud the ext morning.the frightened youths were allowed to baer leaks out—which for Fenians 1s in itself take the first train for Montreal.

Even if the Fenians should reserve hostile opera- tions ior a more distant period, they have, by the contemplating of an invasion, done an amount of damage to Canada and the Dominion geneially in the matter of prostrating tempor- arily her commercial interests, Scarcely «uyuning has been done during the past fortnight, and there are no cheering prospects of early activity in busi hess. The hovel keepers and merchants complain bitterly of this, and are very emphatic in thegenun- ‘ctations of Feutanism as well as the needless bulla- baloo which they think the government is making. All this damage to capital and business, resuiting from Fenian fears, as well as the consequent and successive feeling of insecurity of person and pro- perty, is producing A STRONG ANNEXATION FEELING all over the Dominion, and in no section does It show more on the sntface than in this very city of Montreal, 1f the three tickets of annexation, Cana- dian independence or a continuance of the present Dominion government cou.d be put into the field to-morrow the first wamed measure would be carried by an _ overwhelming majority.

MONTREAL, April 22, 1870. On the arrival of the American train last evening four men were arrested on suspicion of Fenianism. ‘Their names are William Burns, Simon Murphy, Patrick Grifiln and John Webb. The prisoners say they were returning to Quebec from the States, where they had been working during the winter. They were arrested under the late act suspending the writ of habeas corpus, on the representation of Quartermaster McPnil, of the Fifty-first battalion, at Hemmingford, who travelled with them from the frontier. They will be brought up for examination. A battalion left. yesterday afternoon for the fron- tier, ‘The headqaarters will be at La Salle.

ToRONTO, April 22, 1870. Adespatch to the Datly Leader from Ottawa to- day states that instructions have been issued by the Militis Department to withdraw the volunteers trom the front, no trouble appearing to exist there. The American government had communicated to the government here that the Fenians were moving, and that they had not suffictent force of miliary to check them without calling the militia on the border, and were afraid to entrust arms in their hands because nearly all of them were Feolan sym- | pathizers- THE FENIAN CONGRESS. There was the usual crowd outside the doors of the Masonic Hall, Thirteenth street, where the Cana- dian-raid-Fenians are holding their Congress, and the usual talk was indulged in as to the probability of an early advance to the front. The majority of the loungers on the sidewalk were of the opinion that something important was about to be accom- plishsd by the Fenian legisiators; but as the persons making these assertions could give no reasons for the faith that was in them, it is safe to presume that they knew as little of what was being done, or what is intended to be done by the Fenian leaders, as the simplest citizen, to whom the organization is & puzzle and a mystery. It would not be safe, how- ever, to state positively that General O'Neill is un- willing or uuprepared to carry out his oft-repeated threats, On the contrary, there 1s now good reason to believe that under the bluster and blather of this Congress there lurks mischief which it will worry the Dominion government to avert. O'Neill feels it incumbent on hin to do something forthwith, and if he is Oniy provided with funds suficient to carry out his present intentions the English troops in Canada are more likely to meet with Khyder Pass thana Malaga in their route to the Red river, ‘The Congress is a secret body, and nothing of thelr rather remarkable fact—but if the world was in- lormed of their doings it 18 hardly likely that they would be any better informed as to the intentions of the leaders of the Fenian movement against the in- tegrity of the Domtnion government. ‘The work of the organization in the arrangements for active ser- vice is done outside the Congress, and those who are best acquainted with its secret operations, and whose chatacters entitle them to full credit, assert that the Fenians are on the right track this time, and that they are or soon will be in a position to a faithful rank and file in vengeance on the ated redeoats for all the money they have contri- buted in the past. A few days or weeks will tell the story, whatever this blathering Congress may do or say. BROADWAY DOG FIGHTING.

PRINCIPLES OF A S¥STEM Ov PHILosorny, by Austin Bierbower, A. M.

The author fa‘ls into the saine error tha! other spec- ulators in philosophy have fallen into before him. He forgets tnat the sciences are not founded on mere speculation, put on certam facta, which are in- controvertibie; whereas tne basis of religon 1s intul- tuon, and to reconctle our intuitive religious percep- tions with the tacts of science demands something more than common sense, which is itself intuition.

Important Decision of Judge Troy — The Powers of the Court—Jndgment Debtors, &e. Rufus K. Terry ts. Petor H. Hultz.—On an am- davit that judgment was recovered by the above named plaintil against the above named deiendant, on tne 7th day of February, 1870, in the Supreme Court, for $6,107 19, aud the Judgment roll fled on that day in the office of the Cierk of the county of Kings, and that execution thereon was duly issued to the Sheriff of the county of Queens, where tne judgment deptor resided at the tile of issuiug auch execution, and still 80 resides, that sald execution had been returned unsatistied, and that George Averiil, residing im the county of Kings, was then indebted to the said Juagment debtor in an amount exceeding tie sui Of ten dollars, and also had pro- perty belonging to him. An order was made by me requiring the suid Averill to appear before me at a ume specified in said order and be examined concerr- ing such alleged indebtedness and property; wnich order having been duiy served upon said Averill, he how appears and Claims that the facts stated in the affidavit do not confer jurisdiction upow the County Judge of Kings county to make the order aforesaid, for the reason that by said affidavit it does not sppear that any execution upon said judgment was issued to the Sheri of the said county of Kings. The objection thus interposed presents a new and ex- ceedingly Important question, witch, tn the absence of avy previous reported decision upon the subject, must be determined by relerence to te provisions of the statute above. Section 202 of the Cude provides that ‘‘when an execution against property of the juggment debtor, or of any one of the several debtors in the same judgment issued to the sueriuf of the county where lhe resides or has a place of business, or, f he do not reside in the Siate, to the sherifl of the county where @ judgment roil or 4 transcript of a justice's judg. ment for twenty-five dollars or upwards, exclusive of costs, is lied, is returned unsatisfied in whole or in part, the juagment creditor at any time after such return made is entiled to an order from @ judge of the court, or a county judge of the county to which the execution was issued, ora judge of the a county of jued to such city aud county requiring such judgment debtor to appear,” ac. Section 204 of the Code provides that ‘after the issuing OF return Of au execution agaist property tor, OF of one of several Gootors in ‘ ment, and Upon an aMidavit that apy n has property of such judgment OF ted to him in ap amount xceeding the sum of ten jars, the jude may, by an order, require such person or ) OF any mber ‘8p! at @ specified Piceetaaatisn auction are notice Paty to be given to any party,” &o, It will be observed shat this latter section docs not di ‘the officer by whom the order nay be mig West Mode wha ft Fee u fie Scouts er the ninth title of ihe Code, which relates exclusively to nga suople- mentary to execution. Hence the question ari 10 this cage as to What “judge” 18 Intended and whi may ¢ an order for the xan Datloa of resid ron indebted to, and baving 0, ‘8 judgment debtor, as provided by section 204. There can be no doubt, inasmuch as the chapter relatea to the same subject, that the provi- sions thereof, subsequent to the first section (292), re- ferring to “the judge” who may make the order, evidently intends to relate to some judge previously described, and we must look, therefore, to section 202 vo ascertain what judges are therein designated. We find by this latter section that jurisdicuon 13 conferred only upon “a judge of the court or a county judge of the county to which the execation Was iasucd, or a judge of the Court of Common Pleas for the city and county of New York, when the cution was lasued to puch county.” These are the only oficera beiore whom proceedings of this nature can be instituted, ‘Taking section 292 of the Code, then in connection with section 294, I am satisied Uhata county judge of athird party i proceetings supplementary to execution upon a judginea’ recovered in the Su. preme Court, unless an execution has becn issued upon such judgment to its county. And the fact that such execution bas been tssued to a different county, Where the judginent debtor resides, as in this case, does not affect tie result. Imust hold, therefore, that the afidavit in this case confers no jurisdiction upon me to make tie or aie and the same is accordingly dis- missed, SCIENTIFIC INTEL) GENCE. The Prince of Wales?
