The late Fenian invasion, and the rumors of an tended renewal of the attempt to capture Canada have alarmed our neighbors, who are providing for the purchase and maintenance of gun-bosts on the Lakes and the River 8t. Lawrence; not, however, without some opposition in their own camp, on the seore of the expense. Hitherto the burden of defense has fllen mainly on the Mother Country, Now the Canadians miist help themselves. They will soon discover to their cost, that if confederation has its benefits, it brings its responsibilities along with it— aud pretty heavy ones they will prove. The way which tbe rioting authorities of New-Or- leans have taken to cover up wholesale and contrived murders, is, if possible, worse than the late massacre itself. A picked Rebel jury, charged by the judge | who counseled violence against the Freedmen's Bu- rean, and rudely set aside tbe Civil Rights bill, have gade a report atrociously in keeping with these ‘nhumeful anfecedents. One-sided evidence, the tes, timony of those known to havo aided, abetted, and taken pas in the riot, is assed togetber to throw the whole llame oy the ‘ictims. and to vindi- NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, cate the murderers. The loyal Tribune of New-Orlean defles the most malignant ingenuity and treachery of the city officials to make out a clear case in favor of Monroe and his butchers; and the conscience of the whole country will indorse the challenge, But one thing will be proved by the report of the jury of assas- sing; not that rebels were incapable of com- mitting murder, with or without provocation, but that they were equal to still greater crime— that of crowding into a jury, and sitting on a judge's bench, to cast the odium of their misdeeds on the men they slaughtered, The assault on the loyal men of New-Orleans did not end with the torrible and bloody victory over free speech. It remained for their enemies to take possession of a court of justice in order to cry down the survivors out of the mouths of perjurers. —_— Judging from the tenor of our news, all the quar- reling at the Philadelphia Convention will be indoors. The delegates already at haud are confused about the programme, but cling nervously to the terms of the Washington call, which excludes nobody who pro- fesses a desire to come in and pay his share of the expenses, We hear that a loyal resolution will be offered by Gen. Steedman, conformably to his recent reports on the Freedmen's Bureau, and that original Secessionists and convicted disloyalists will be excluded, to the relactant satis- faction of those who have pardons iu their pockets. For the proposed attempt to keep Messrs, Wood and Vallandigham out of the Convention a stout resist- ance is already organized, with confidence of an easy victory. Should the Copperhead leaders not be ad- mitted, the great body of the Southern party threaten to break ranks and go home. Over all these ele- ments of discord the President, we are told, is dil- igently pouring out the oil of pacification. The Con- vention will be managed through the agents from Washington after the pattern of the States in recon- struction. It is safe to predict that there will be an energetic effort on the part of the Presidont to gal- vanize it into plausible behavior; and if anything is likely to effect a good understanding among the bread-and-butter men, it is the promise held out that | Le will make ““a clean sweep.” We hope so. Else- where, care has been taken to present in brief the antecedents of the great representative majority of the Convention, It will be seen that ex-Rebels and Copperheads are generally far in excess of the Presi- dent’s body-guard. We very much fear that the Egyptian's serpent will devour that of MosEs, or else the reptiles must be one and the same, THE EXTRA TRIBUNE. A political struggle, rarely surpassed in importance or intensity, has been precipitated on the country by the treachery of Andrew Johinson and some of his official or personal adherents to the great and patri- otic party by which they were intrusted with power. ‘The aim of this treachery is to put the steadfast loy- alists of the South under the feet of the ** whipped but uot subdued” Rebels, and to enable the latter to glut their vengeance on the former, whom they hate aud curse as responsible for the most unexpected over- throw of their darling * Confederacy.” The recent wholesale massacres at Memphis and manifestations of | wuth, whereof the New-Orleans were but couspicu the spirit now rampant in the pro-Rebel triumph in Kentucky is a more recent example. The soldiers of Lee, Beauregard, Johnston and Hood, are now the dominant power from the Po- tomac to the Rio Grande; they elect each other to office in preference even to stay-at-home Rebels; they have supplanted nearly all others as policemen of Southern cities; they are organized and officered as State militia; and they ruthlessly crust every demon- stration of loyal Whites or loyal Blacks in assertion of the Equal Rights of American Freemen. The school-houses of the Blacks are burned and their White teachers subjected to violence and outrage by | unchanged Rebels, who relieve the work of murder and arson by cheers for Audy Johnson and execra- tions of Congress. The purpose of forcing represontatives of the Rebel States into Congress, in defiance of the loyal oath, by Presidential fiat and Military power, is openly avowed, with threats that those who resist it shall bo treated as rebels, and a civil war thus kindled throughout the North and West, It bas thus become imperative that those who stand for Liberty and Loyalty—for the right of the Union to exist and of Man to be Free—should organize and work to strengthen the hands of Congress for the in- evitable contest before us, We must convince the South and the Copperheads that revolations go not backward—that Emancipa- tion is an unchangeable fact—that the glorious Civil Rights act can never be repealed—that the rights of the humblest American are henceforth guaranteed and shielded by the Federal Constitution and must be maintained against all gainsayers—that the days wherein Blacks had no rights which Whites were bound to respect have passed away forever. Wo hold to-day the power in all the Free States of 1560, in West Virginia, and in Missouri beside. We must hold these in our ensuing elections, and add to them Maryland and Delaware—the former lost to us through treachery, otherwise Johnsonism. We must elect to the XLth Congress an overwhelming majority devoted to Loyalty, Nationality, and the inalienable Rights of Man. To this end, let Light and Truth be systomatically diffused to every neighborhood, every fireside, throughout our broad country. To this end, wo propose an extra issue of THE ‘WeekLY TR (identical in size and contents with the regular edition), which we will supply on the fol- lowing terms: All friends of the cause are invited to form clubs; but we employ no traveling agents, and warn all against paying money to other than persons of known responsibility. ‘We heartily second The Citizen's call ou Recorder Hackett to charge our next Grand Jury to investigate searchingly the recent ings of our Common Council whereby the City is (intended to be) com- pelled to pay & most exorbitant price for lighting our streets for the next twenty years. The Recorder is but casually in office, and desires, we presume, to receive the People's approving stamp at the ensuing election. Will he not, then, deserve their favor by doing his best to save them from this gigantic robbery? Common rumor indicates $200,000 as the price paid the City Fathers for betraying their trust, and §7,000 as the dividend of each merely private member of * the Ring"—its officers getting considerably more. This may be below the truth. The right sort of an investigation will show. We have already called on the Corporation Coun- sel to ventilate this iniquity, and would call on the l MONDAY, AUGUST 13, 1866. District-Attorney if there was the faintest hope of his responding. Let Recorder Hackett take the lead in the matter, and bring the suspected corruptionists.be- fore his Grand Jury to tell what they know, Bring the facts to ligh TA CONVENTION, To-morrow, the National Couvention called Ly Messrs. Randall [since made Postmaster-General] & Co., will be formally inaugurated. The attendance will be very numerous, and will include many nota- bilities. The States lately fighting to destroy the Union have sent almost exclusively men who, two short years ago, considered Unionist and Tory (or traitor) synonymous terms—who hunted their neigh- bors with bloodhounds, burned their houses without waiting to see that the children had all escaped, and shot fathers aud adult 6ons us they emerged from the doors pursued by the flames. Probably Tennesseo had no more vebe- ment, rancorous Rebel than the Rev. J. B. Ferguson, who now figures as corresponding secretary of Mr. Randall's “* National Union Club;" while members of the Convention whereby their States were (assumed to be) taken out of the Union, with Rebel Congressmen and Rebel Generals, figure largely as delegates. Among the delegates from half a dozen States, we do not note a single consistent Unionist—not even from Alabama, where many such are found. The Union sontiment of the South hasno voice in this Convention. From the loyal States, there is a fair but not very strong representation of the Democratic party, con- sisting mainly of men who were openly hostile to the War for the Union. Henry Clay Dean of Towa, Daniel Marcy of New-Hampshire, C. L. Vallandigham of Ohio, E. 0. Perrin and Francis Kernan of this State, T. A. Hendricks of Indiana, Charles Brown and John D. Stiles of Pennsylvania, &c., &c.—if these men were not hostile to the War for the Union, who could be! Great exertions have been made by the managers to keep out such as wero notorious for their sympathy with the Rebel- lion, but with indifferent suceess. That the Conven- tion is mainly backed by those who in the Confederate States were Rebels and in the Loyal States were sympathizers (or Copperlieads) is s true as that twice two make four. Go into any County of the South, and you will find thoso whose hearts and arms were with the Rebellion looking with favor and hope to this Convention; inquire in any township or village of the North, and those who held the Federal Government wrong and the Rebels substantially right are for this Convention, with but just so many more as hold office under Federal authority or hope that they s0on will. There is absolutely no popular support for the Randall Convention outside the ranks of the Re- bellion at the South and the Peace Democracy at the North. Individuals whose griefs or greed master them may here and there be found cobperating with “tho Bread and Butter brigade;" but they never com- posed even a fraction of the great Union party which they vainly seek to overthrow. They can send dele- gates—or, more strictly, they can go as delegates—to | Philadelphia; but they leave none but Copperbeads | and negro-haters bebind them as constituents. They are not a party; they are not even a fraction; they are simply a clique, and a very small one. They will not count in an official canvass. This Convention assembles with simply these ob. jects: 1. To put the unchanged Unionists of the South, but especially that large portion of them whom God has chosen to make Black, utterly and perma- nently under the feet of those who struggled and fought to destroy the Union till they could fight no longer; 2. To surrender the loyal North and the Gov- ernment into the hands of the Rebel-sympathisers who rallied around the Seymours in 15623, voted the war for the Union o failure, and consistently there- with supported McClellan and Pendleton in 1564, If | enough Republicans and War Democrats can be lured into & coalition with them to give them a majority, the Blacks will be crushed back into virtnal Slavery or driven out of the country, and ** the Union as it was with Andrew Johnson as he didn't use to be for Pre ident, and some Northern Copperhead for Vice-Pres- ident, will usher in an era whereof the recent whole- sale murders in Memphis and in New-Orleans have given us o foretaste, But the People are not tending that way. [ ENTION IN THE EU. EaAN WAR. There can hardly be a doubt that the brief dispatch received last night by the Atlantic Cable in reference to the Emperor Napoleon announces a new and very warliko complication in European politics, After long observing a mysterious silence, after assuming, in turn, the part of a friend of Italy, Austria and Prussia, Napoleon has deemed the right point of time to hure como for officially informing the world of his views and his demands. Ho has formally demanded of Prussia au extension of the froutier of France. As bas long been intimated by the semi-official papers of Frauce, it is not the frontier of the Rhine that is claimed, but only the frontier of 1814, which included the Prussian towns of Saarlouis and Saar- Dbruck, the Bavarian town of Laudau, and the Belgian towns of Charlemont, Mardenbourg, and Chimay. Nothing is mentioned about the takiug of a popular vote in the districts to be annexed. But however large or small the territory may be that Napoleon will claim, and on whatever conditions he may offer to make annexation dependent, all these circumstances ave of little importance compared with the fact that France has made a formal demand of Ger* man territory. ‘The announcement of the fact musy have made the most profound sensation in all parts of Germany, aud, in fact, all over Europe. 1t will be understood as the French veto upon the Ger- man wunion movement which was rapidly rallying the Germans everywhore round the provisional standard FRENCH INT R of Prussia. In each of the Northern and Central States, the people were almost unanimous in welcoming the overthirow of the old Confederation and of the State governments which had opposed Prussia. In Hanover, Hesse-Cassel, Hesse-Darmstadt and Nassau, o move. ment in favor of annexation, was spreading. The Liber- als everywhere showed their readiness to cobperate with thoir old opponent,the Prussian Ministry, inlaying the foundation of the new Germany. Of the three leading States which—not counting Austria—were to have the option of constituting a Southern Confeder- ation, two, Wurtemberg and Baden, were rapidly going over to the union with Northern Germany. If only foreign interference could be kept off, the specdy reunion, under the leadership of Prussia, of all the countries constituting the Old German Confederation with perhaps the only exception of the Sclavic (Bo- hemia and Moravia) and Italian (Southern Tyrol) districts in the German Provinces of the Austrian Em- pire was almost a certainty. All the political partics of Germany, bowever widely differing in their views of Germany, were unanimous aud dotermined in their refusal to allow any foreign interference, and still more #0 in declining to enter tain any offer for the cession of German territory. Bismark has long been suspected to have wade pledges to Louis Napoleon as regards the cession of Baarbriick. If this is so, It may be safely assumed that the breach between Lim and the first German Parlisment will e even wider than it ever was le- tween Lim and the Secoud Chamber of Prussia. If it is not trae, and if he should, iu union with the German people, defy Napoleon, a new war cloud arises on this European horizon, much darker than that which fore- boded the Germau-lialian war. Before making the demand Napoleon undoubtedly has counted the and fully made up his mind how to act in case of a re- fuzal. The special mission fr Czar, and still more the account given of this mission L au oficin ] paper of Bogling sem o Wicaty thit totally unworthy of indepen cost, | Can it o that such melancholy statements are t ! ful records of the results of mo 1 Prussia to the Court of the | Ru movement in Germany. The further developments of this new European complication will everywhere be watched with the most intense interest. ] THE TROUBLES OF THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT. We find some of the Canadian journals insinuating that the ostensible canse of Mr. Galt's resignation is not the real one, which is to be found in the opposi- tion that Lis financial policy encountered both in and out of the Provincial Legislature, and in the critical and troublous condition of public affairs, superinduced by the Confederation scheme. Be this asit may, however, it is certain that difficulties are thickening around the Canadian Government, which will severely tax the statemanship of those at the helm of affairs. What with the mischief threatened by arenewal of the Fenian invasion, and the necessity for vigilance in guarding against the dangers looming in this quarter; what with the onerous nature of the task of financial and legislative readjustment, which Confederation, if consummated, will impose; and what with the troubles arising out of the clash and conflict of Roman Catholic and Protestant interests in the matter of popular edu- cation, the administration of the Canadian Govern- ment is obviously becoming increasingly difficult. The School question, on which Mr. Galt resigned offico—owing, as is alleged, to a difference of opinion with his colleagues—is likely to prove a source of serious embarassment to the Government for some time to come. The Protestant minority of Lo er Canada demand separate schools for the education of Protestant children, and bargained with the Govern- ment, it appears, that as a condition of obtaining their support for the Confederation project, & law for the establishment of separate schools should be passed. A bill with this object was accordingly introduced by the Government; but the Catholic minority of Upper Canada demand for themsclves the same advantages under this head claimed by the Lower Canada minority, and a bill simi- lar to the Government measure was, for this end, brought in by a private member of the Legislative Assembly. The members for Lower Canada in the Catholic interest were willing to vote for the Government bill on condition that the Government shall guaranteo the interests of the Upper Canada Catholics in the way proposed. Without their aid the Government measure could not be carried; but as public opinion in Upper Canada was strongly against the concession demanded by the Catholics of that portion of the province, the Ministry, as a compromise, determined upon withdrawing the Government bill, thus getting rid of the otherbill, and leaving the matter where it stood be- fore the question of separate schools was mooted. To this Mr. Galt, who had pledged himself to support the claims of the Lower Canada mivority, was opposed, and hence bis resignation, in which he probably availed himself of the opportunity presented by the difficulty for withdrawing from what had become to him a very trying position. Meanwhile, the question of separate schools remains unsettled, to be a source of future trouble to the Gov- erment, the Protestant minority of Lower Canada insisting on their demand, and the Catholic minority of Upper Canada being as determined on having the same concession made to them. To aggra- vate the difficulty presented by this question, in which the element of sectarian antagonism is certain to play a prominent part, the Protestants of Upper Canada are unwilling that the Catholic minority of that sec- tion should enjoy the privileges which their brethren of the Lower Provinces are seeking, and which the Catholics are willing they should enjoy. —— FINAN J. W., jr., suggests a recast of our National Debt, or a considerable part of it, into the form kuown in Europe as Terminable Annuities; that is, instead of a bond to pay $50 per aunum for twenty years and $1,000 at their close, give bonds to pay $100 per an- num for twenty years, and nothing thereafter. This is a favorite security with many who wish to spend more than their current incomes and do not care about saving for heirs, We do not object to this; but we place no great value on it. If we are ready to bear the requisite burden of taxation, we should soon pay the debt. Simply to have left our taxes where they stood three months ago would have carricd us out of debt in twenty years. But almost everybody wanted Taxa- tion reduced, and Congress yielded, The Federal Taxes for the ensuing year will average at leasttwenty per cent. less than those of the last year; and this may make the difference between reducing the principal of our Debt $125,000,000 during the last fiscal year and nothing at all during that just begnn. Yet we will hope that increased production and increased efficiency in collection may enable us to pay off at least $50,000,000 during this year; and then, if we let the internal taxes aloue, our income must gradu- ally increase, until we shall soon be reducing our Debt by at least $100,000,000 per annum. Bat we can't do this if every one is to insist on reducing or abolishing taxes. Congress lately increased the tax on Cotton from two to three cents per pound; and the entire Cotton interest clamored against this as if the tax were all paid by the cotton-growers; whereas, at least two- thirds of it fall on the consumer. But suppose it did not, what then ! Cotton is bringing a far higher than ordinary price (computed in gold;) and those who grow and those who cousume it must pay taxes like others. We doubt that anotber tax will be less onegus than this, If experience prove it injurious, it can be repealed; but we have a great Debt; and every one must expect to pay bis share of it. And, whether we reduce it by one device or another, we must expect to sweat out every dollar of it. Putting it into this or that shape will make little difference. The London Times, in its issne of April 10, 1866, did us the honor to read us a lesson on the question of the adjustment of the electoral suffrage, in the follow- ing words: ** Nobody on either side of the House of Commous has dropped a word about the enfranchise- ment of our 1,200,000 agricultural laborers, rep- resenting, as they do, a much larger popula- | tion than the negroes of the United States. Nobody praises them; nobody proposes to give them votes; nobody thinks it necessary to give reasons why they shonld mnot have votes.” It is clear the foregoing statements were especially intended for our nse and service, but there is another and subsequent view of the question hinted by The Times. Mr. Podsnap's wave of the hand is met by the assembling of the people in Hyde Park. Ugly questious are asked, and shocking replies made. ‘Whose is the Park? cry the reformers. The Crown’s! answer the Ministers. We've paid for it for the past two centuries! is the rejoinder. The scene fittingly concludes with the menacing words of John Bright to the people: 1 a public meeting in & public park is depied you, and il millions of intelligent and honest men are denied the fran- cise, on what foundation dues our liberty rest! or is there in the country any liberty but the toleration of the ruling clas?” Considering, at the same time, that martial law exists, and we are informed, is destined to be continued in Ireland. Truly, things do not appear to be quite so serene as they might be in the land of noble Britons. 1Is The Times aware that its declarations are the severest ex- as desirons as France to arvest the union positions of the inadequacy of the British Governmental | system that could possibly be invented o published ? ruth- » than eight centuries of almost undisturbed aristocratic rule?
