The disfranchisemeut of active rebels, who resided in Washington ut the be; gining of the rebellion, uud who strove (o betray Ihe nation's cnpilal into the hands of the Jefl'. Government, is the Eoriest point to the Copperheads. They consider that atrocious crime no sdrious offence against the law and should be overlooked. The President is probably of the same turn of mind. But the whole country has such vast, stake in ths stability and safety of the national Capital, that it feels that it is unsafe to hereafter hnziird tjiich womeutions intercuts in the hands of jvuy but the true men of the country.

It is neither passion nor veogcnce whieh'seeks todinfranchi.se the infamous Washington rebels, whp for yeans sucked their subsistence from thu people's treasury, and then strove to sack it, when they uo longer could put their bunds iuto the public crib.

Since Spain has become involved in her ridiculous und expensive war with Chili, 1ms been constrained to drum with severity upon th'i wealth and resources of Cuba.

At the. prefent time, Ireland, like into an open insurrection against Brit ish authority in Ireland, Mr.

Stephens discouraged the movement against Canada on the ground that all the Fenian resources should be reserved for a grand attempt in Green Erin. There are those who think that James Stephens is in the pay of the British Government, for certainly no wise leader would announce in advance when the insurrection was to commence. The escape of James Stephens from the Dublin prison was so remarkable, and was so impossible, without assistance from within, that good many believe that the British Government connived at his escape. At any rate, sineo then, by his speeches be has been so freely giving information lo the British Ministry of tho proposed outbreak, that they have vigorously noted upon his disclosures and have literally netted Ireland with troops and surrounded it with a powerful navy. It is correct to say, that at no previous time has England been so well prepared as now, to smite to the dust every outbreak made in Ire- iiid.

The vattuess and completeness of the preparations, prove that England was profoundly alarmed, he finds more than ever, that the possession of a discontented province ia one of tlm niott troublesome and poslly thorns in the British crown. A Dublin correspondent ol" the New York Tribune, under date of the Gth instant, gives a most iuterresting summary of nfljire iu Ireland, during the past three mouths. The fact that men are arrested and held to bail for merely making the remark, while looking at the barracks, Wliul can ire do now? Those fellows in there could fire out and kill Wore we could do anything," evinces a severity of martial law almost unheard of in the history of the world. The only thing which we can compare it to is the domineering and cruel spirit of the Jeff. Davis Government, in its management of a flairs at Richmond during the "slaveholder's rebellion.

Inasmuch as the British government sympathize with the Jeff Davis class of men should manifest a similar Iruculent tyranny towards a people striving to rid themselves of their task-masters. The latest cable news from Ireland states that all is quiet there. The British press considers that tho Fenian movement is so completely throttled that it will now out without a struggle. Within week the 1st of January will have passed, and this is the cabalistic day which was to bring such' memorable and glorious fruits to of and Cuba is now bi-iog swept by alinan- ciul hurricane, the like of which 1, Dec it not been known thirty years. pft tg of the connt the groat staple of Cuba, aud tll(! on ian panic would abate in this jj lf UQyernmenl would lei it.

Troops had been pouring in, but-their presence would bo required to speedily quell a movement which -yould assume no greater proportions than a brief riot in the streets. But what are peo it must inevitably be price. For the. past, depressed in years the planters have been obtainiug terrific prices. They can raiso sugar and nnmetliiug nt three- cents per pound, iu coin, but for yoars it bos fiom four nrid a half to seven ppr pound.

This is a liu'go margin far profits, and we think th.it the people of country will not feel very sorrowful if tho present financial panic iu Cuba enables them to obtaiu their sugar at from one to three coots per pound lower than in previous yonis.

Then as to Dublin Castle, scores of men are at work there to-day digging np the ground aud laying iulurge water' pipes from tho mains in the streets. This is being done' because information has reached the Government that the Fenians inter.d to burn down the buildings with the liquid HtulV, some baws of which were recently discovered by the police in Liverpool and they want to be prepared for that contingency with a plentuons supply of water. That tiiO Feu aus may liiivo some biicli intentions is not impossible.
