FENIANISM TH AJEE RICA.

TBAL OBLIGATIONS ?-THZia GOOD TAXI'S
ELOQUENTLY DEPENDED.
In the House of Commons, on the 23d ult., Mr
Watkin asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
"whether any representation had been made to tho,
Government of Washington in reference to the
Fenian organization, and prefaced it by narrating
? number of details relating to the doings and the
motives of the society which had oome to his
'. knowledge during a recent visit in America. .He
? enforced from these particulars the conclusion
? that Fenianism was foreign hi its Origin, and that
"while the Govenunent contented themselves mere?
ly with prosecuting Irish Fenians, and neglected
io deal with it st its source, they wotddfa.il to put
it down. Ho maintained that the Fenians io
America were violating the highest international
obligations, and from the recent vigor shown by
rthe President in arresting the Chilian agent for a
"breach of the neutrality laws, ho argued'th at if
"proper representations were made by. our. Govern?
ment to the Cabinet of Washington they would
enow equal TC ?din? es in dealing with the Fenian's,
The Chaflee?or-of the Exchequer, after? few i
Ttaarke on the questions addressed to him by
Col Dunne and Mr. Darby Griffith at an early pe?
riod of the evening, said, in reference to tba Pen
iana, that the Government had made no represen- ,
tarions at Washington, and at present had seen no
?COM for doing eo. Ho clamed Mr. Watkin for ]
sot Ant laying whatever defisiU information he
might have^poseeased before the responsible Gov?
ernment, and denned two contingencies in which 1
we should have a right to make such representa- j
tiona-one, if the American law had been broken
by ito citizens; the other, if an attempt had been ]
made to use force against any portion of the Brit- '
lah dominions; and he pointed out that Mr. Watkin
had produced no evidence that either of these con- '
tingenciea had occurred. : *
Re proceeded as follows: Bat it is not enough .
for my right honorable friend to say that the Fe- I
niano held A Congress in Philadelphia, and that *
they collected so much money in so many years, *
in order to raise a pr?somption that the American "
Government has. neglected its duties. My honor?. S
able friend ought to show that those proceedings
have been notorious, and that in the way that they
could be made the subject of judicial inveetiga- ?
tion. [Hear, hear.] He has shown nothing of Yr
the sort. I attended closely towhat fell from hun, ??
and I heard nothine-frojfrnim which showed that ?J
any aets had been done id *-owriOftio violation ol S
^ American .law which it waa the fi? of tbe b
J?^Ieram,eijt hfWft repressed and pun- J
?ed before ?ie orioary tribunals. [Hear, hear.] a
7Rss???e0d !5W KS ? . deputation1 g
t?taSffi?S^ ?ut ixe told ne nothing of J
?h? \Ceu*.tth-t deputation; and I do not J
HSn SK be tamself places mach reliance up- M
?* ^n?A to re born the ?
?faenes adverse to the Government of *e Dm- ,
??tat?s?beo?ue I think he paid a very high and ?
?jSPoS^MBt to President Johnson ? ?
Rtter portion of his speech, ?nd J^to* h
ry intimated bis WDTiotion and belief that &
be waa a man anxious, to do all ia fiie
Ciwer for the maintenance. ot mendly re
tiona and fulfilment of every mteirnational obli- "
ration. Ae I said, there were two oaeeti in which H
we might expect the United Btateo Government ?J
to act. No proof has been laid that offences have ?
been committed against American laws and not
punished. The other case is, that in the event of
any attempt at the use of force by these mis
goaded men in the United States againet any por- h
tion of the British dominions, we nave a right to
expect that the Government of the United States
will repel and put down any euoh attempt' by the
ase of a superior force. No such case has hap- .
pened, and therefore we have no right to act. Jj
There is, I grant, also the case of personB in pub- 8
lie employment, and the honorable gentleman y
says that ten officers were members of a Fenian C
Congreos. We do not know what was done in the t.
Congress at which those officers took part, but the *
honorable gentleman himself stated that General u
Sni?e?^Utlsr^ -?
concerned, certainly my honorable friend has no jj
title to complain of the conduct of the Govern- d
ment of the United States. General Sweeney was "
dismissed, I believe, upon tho ground of absence o
without leave. [Hear, near.] I am not prepared U
to condemn such proceedings. I mast know a a
great deal more about what Sweeney did, g
and about the mode of proving and bring- 8
ing home what he did, before I can pr?same 0
to treat ae a subj ec t either ef coudemna- '<
tion or taunt the proceedings of the United f<
States. [Hear, hear.] I save no more to say in no- 11
tice of the particular allegations of my honorable "
friend. I hold that, where they are vague, they a
had much better not have been produced in de- t]
bate. I hold that, where they are definite, and n
where they tend to show a default of duty-which I
I do not admit-on the part of the United States n
Government, the fair course toward anv friendly
Government is to take care that those allegations ^
B 11 first be placed in the hands of the responai- P
I nisters of the Crown that they may do their e
f .n regard to them. It is obviously impoesi- c
nat upon being produced without notice in t!
. House they can be properly or satisfactorily a
ated. As regards the question of my honora- c
e friend, I have to say that we have not made J
ny such representations. Wo have seen cause to o
deplore much that has taken place in America, o
but we have had no cause which would justify us *
in making representations to the Government of a
the United States upon the subject. My hoaorable a
friend said that it was vain to act in Ireland unless w
we deal with the evil at its source. [Hear, hear.] P
Well, certainly these are very big words-dealing P
with the evil at its source in the dominions of a
foreign power-perhaps in vol vingmeasur cs for tho P
ascertainment of the facts whictr we would not for ti
one moment tolerate or hear of ia this country. c
[Hear, hear.] This ie a very large pretension; 0
and when we are so justly anxious to main- ri
tain our own country as a sanctuary against P
every undue and doubtful demand of a foreign a
Government, for God's sak? let as be a little pa- 0:
tient at the outset, and a little tolerant in judging o:
of the proceedings of the Government of the "
United States. ? (Hear, bear.] We have not made 8
these representations. Had we had facts of a na- 0(
tore that would 'have justified it at our com?
mand, I need not say that they would have been
made: but they must have been made in the view
of definite ends., To make the mere general re- ^
monstrance which my honorable friend recom- .
mends, the mere complaint to the United States 11
Government, of. what is going on in America, the n
mere setting forth'the inconvenience arising to ns p
from these lawless-proceedings of certaiu Ameri- *
can subjects, would hut diminish the dignity of
this country. When we have the definite materials r<
of complaint, then will be the time; but it is not
merely because we ate hurt and wounded by *> hat g
is going on, not merely because we - have a right ?
to feel a jost indignation against the guilty pro- d
moters of such, enterprises, that we should h
endeavor to make the United States Government h
responsible for what we have reason to believe n
they are. unable ty prevent if the case were a
inverted, 'and these proceedings took pjaoo in e
our own dominion a. [Hear, hear.] We have i
confidence ia the United States. [Hear, hear.[ ,
We believe -it will fulfil its national obligations. ?
We have confidence, further, in the public opinion t
of tho United States. [Hear, hear.] As raras "
we are informed, the public opinion of the United t
States, like the. public opinion of England and '
Ireland, condemn these guilty proceedings. We j
are told that with that condemnation there is \
mingled in America something of contempt-[hear. |
hear]-that the promoters of Fenianism are re?
garded as guilty fanatics, whose strength is not
proportioned to their zeal or to their evil inten- ,
tion: and if that be so, it is a matter upon which
it is impossible to Bpeak with official knowledge.
But obviously it is an important point of policy
with respect to interference with tho proceedings
of the American Government. With that belief, ii
we are justified in entertaining it, the House, I
think, will hardly be surprised if I say that tho
days are yet too early, and the information as yet
by far too crude and immature, to warrant state?
ments in this Houso which tend?even by remote
inplication, to raise a suspicion of breRch of duty
on tho part of an allied and friendly Government.
[Hear, hear.] We aro very sore about these
things ourselves. We hear that some person in
Congress, or somebody in some assembly abroad
has made imprudent speeches, and has placed the
Executive Government of thur own couutry in
difficulty. Well, the tables are now turned. Let us
show that, educated in the long habits of freedom,
we, the members of this House, have more self
command than thc less trained and less practiced
representatives of other countries. [Hear, hear.]
Let us have some trust and reliance iu the power
which this country possesses to preserve order in
everv portion of her Majesty's dominicn-in the
dignitv and character which never reach a higher
point than when they are joined with a patience
and endurance unconnected with tho suspicion uf

fritix the consciousness of Btrength. Ihat is tho |
conree which I trust wo may be permitted to
between these two greet countries. Do not I?
heedlessly or prematurely BOW the seeds or
trust. We do not for ono momont attempt to
coal that the seed of this mischief lies in Ame
aud that the active agenoy has come from ?
but though it is ip. America, we do not bene1
to be of America. [Haar, hear.] It is not
genuine fruit of American sentiment, or a ger
representation of the American mind. [H
hear.] We believed it to be condemned thor*
it is condemned here, and, believing that, au
the total absence-oLall evidence to the contr
let us trust to a friendly Government, which
not as yet failed in ito duties, and which we
will not fail. [Loud cheers.]
Mr. Oliphant gave some amusing informa
about Fenianism in America, gathered durit
recent visit there, and assured the House that
Fenians had no sympathizers in America, bool
they were chiefly hewers of wood and drawer
water, because they had committed the binn
it setting up a separate nationality, and beca
3f their antagonism to the negro. To make
representations which Mr. Walkin recommen
?xrald render us as ridiculous in the eyes of
Americana aa the Fenians themselves.

Mr. Watkin asked of the Brttiah Government

jr. T. Hughes, one of the most notable of th

Proceedings or Congre*?-March 9.
The matter of chief importance and signifioanc
1 Congressional proceedings yesterday was th
?nate s action on the proposed amendment to th
Constitution excluding negroes from the basis o
longreBsional representation in all States when
bey are not permitted to vote, which was som
imo ago reported by the Reconstruction Com
littee, and adopted in the House. But little o
im\\i^miMi,iiT^m\tmr receiTed Si
? its support, and Messrs. Sumner. Wilson, Hon
ricks, Yates, Cowan, and others also spoke on it
lie Senate then proceeded to vote on substitutes
fibred for the original amendment, inuludinf
hose of Messrs. Sumner, Henderson and Yates
ll three of which, in different forms, provided fo:
iring the negroes the elective franchise. All tb?
abstitutes were rejected, and then the questioc
n the proposed amendment itself came up, and
tiling to receive the required two-thirds in itt
?vor, it was defeated. The vote was twenty-fiv<
i the affirmative, to twenty-two in the negative
'he nays present a queer mixture of Demecrati
nd Radicals. Another amendment in place o:
tie defeated one, basing representation on the
umber of voters, was offered by Mr. Doolittle,
ts consideration was postponed till Thursday
ext, and the Senate adjourned till Monday.
In the Bouse of Representatives a resolution
raa adopted directing the Secretary of War to re
ort the number of volunteers whoso terms have
xpired who are still retained in the service. A
oneiderable portion of the day was spent in con
[nuod discussion of the Senate bill to guarantee
ll peraous protection in the enjoyment of their
ivilrigbts, which was finally recommitted to thc
udiciary Committee. A long and interesting de?
late also took place iu Committee of tho ?Yhole
n the bill regulating trade with tho adjoining
tritish provinces. Several amendments were
greed to; but the matter did not receivo final
ction. The Senate bill reimbursing Missouri for
rar expenditures was reported from the Appro
nation Committee, and its consideration was
ostponed for a fortnight. Mr. Stevens asked, but
riled to obtain, leave to introduce a resolution to
rint ten thousand copies of the evidence taken by
tie Reconstruction Committee. During tue
ourse of the proceedings Mr. Morrill, Chairman
f the Committee on Ways and Moans, stated, in
oapouao to a question, that an early report on
roposed amendments of the Internal Revenue
ct will be made by thai: committee. The roport

M. DD CQAILLU recently delivered an address
efore the Royal Geographical Society in London,
i which he gave a description of his second jour
ey in Equatorial Africa. A large audience was
resent, among them many eminent men of sci
ace. We extract tho following from the published
?port of the lecture :
GOKHXAS.-When they reached Olinda, the old
lug was very friendly with bim and called him
his sweetheart." Still, be was so exacting in his
emanda that M. Du Chaiilu told him he thought
e loved his goods most. The chief replied that
e "loved both." [Laughter.] Here ho had nu
?erous offers of marriage from tho native ladies,
U dressed in their best, but the whole were re
pectfully declined. From this place he viBitod the
takalia Falls, under difficulties, and had an ad
enture with gorillas on the road. At the time he
ras unwell, and not strong enough to carry his

They quiokly made for the ground and ran away,
jxcept ano ld male, who came towards him to know
what was the matter, giving, at the same time, a
oud roar. The approach of his mon frightened
the animal, which then ran away. b
He therefore had reason to modify somo of the

TUB RESTORATION POLICY.
A KENTUCKY DELEGATION AND TTE PBESTDENT
18 UNAXTBBABLXT RESOLVED TO DEFEND
THE CONSTITUTION.
On tho morning of the 9th, JAMES A. DAWI
Esq., Eegister of the Land Office for the Stat
Kentucky, in company with Messrs. HARDING, ]
TEE, ROUSSEAU, GRIDES, THIMBLE, and SHANK
members of Congress, Quartermaster-Gem
GEOBGE W. MONBOE, and other citizens of t
State, called upon the President. The objeot
the visit was to present to Mr. JOHNSON the i
ceedings of a mass meeting held at the capital
Frankfort, end?Hmg bia veto message.
Mr. DAWSON, oAffiing introduced, addres
the President as follows :
ABDBEBS OF MB. JAMES A. DAWSON.
Mr. PBBSIDENT: I am delegated by a mass me
ing of tbe citizens of Franklin County, Kentuc
held at Frankfort, tho capital of the State, on I
26th ultimo, to present the proceedings there 1
to your Excellency.
The meeting was called to give an expression
the views of the people upon the policy of ye
Administration, and with special reference to I
views and principles enunciated in your messi
to the Senate, embodying your objections to wi
is familiarly known as the Freedmen's Bore
bill. It was a meeting of no political party, I
ot the people, without regard to past politi
sentiments. Men of all parties united in t
meeting cordially, heartily, enthusiastically. A
allow me to assure you, sir, that these procee
inga are not the expression of a single locality
the State, bat that they contain the sentiments
the whole people of the Commonwealth. Simi]
meetings have been, and are being held, evei
where throughout the State, and everywhere a
your patriotic positions applauded, and the pc
pose declared to stand by you in the conflict t
tween yourself-planted as yon are on the citad
of the Constitution-and those who would st
keep that instrument rolled up as a sealed boo
and would substitute for it their own impulse
prejudioea, and pas dons, in th enactment ando
forcement of laws.
With you, sir. the people of Kentucky hold thi
;he Union of toe 8tales has not been des trove
mat the attempted revolution had no other effe
-han to suspend for the time the operation of tl
relations between the States and the Governmen
md did not destroy or impair them in any degre
That this attempt haring been abandoned or sn]
iressed, the functions, obligations, and privileg?
if the States, whose inhabitants were engaged i
he revolt, remained unimpaired, and no less si
ired than before. Ta be brief, I may eay th:
our views npon these questions, as stated i
our annual and special messages to Congresi
our public speeches and letters, meet the entire
all, and almost numinous approval of the pee
ile of tbe State of Kentucky, and that you ma
ely :?on them for aa unqualified Support ?f you
Ldministration upon the position you ?We thu
larked out. I
I wili not disguise the fact, for I should be in
incere ii I did, that there has been, and still is
ome impatience and dissatisfaction felt by th
leoplo at what they regard as unkind suspicion
Ad discriminations against them upon the par
if the Government, which they have euetainet
hroughoat the late terrible conflict at such sacri
ices as only they and those similarly situated cai
mow,
They have felt, and feel, that the faot that th
Jtate complied with every requiremeut of the aq
horities of the Government, whether it met tb
ipprobation of her people or not-furnished al
he men and all tho money demanded of her; bare?
1er bosom to the shook of battle; gave up he
lubstance to the support of the armies; in short
jerformed her whole duty-eutitles her to aU th
jonsideration shown to the other States, whicl
lid no more, and suffered not a tithe compare?
?her. . . -
There may be mentioned, as particularly un
pleasant and mortifying to her people:
1st The fact that in the restoration of the privi
lege of the writ of habeas corpus, that 8tate alone
af those which adhered to the Governm-rot, wa
Bxcepted. They could not understand tho reason
which superinduced that discrimination. Pro
i-J.-.0 ^-nvnilrrt in all har hnrHpre. Thl
courts were m full, "lowana unrestricted opera
Lion, through the medium of which equal and ex
act justice could bo secured by all. If her citizeni
had been guilty of criminal or other offencei
against the Government, speedy and adequate
penalties could bo inflicted upon them througl
the civil tribunals, an evidence of which is tut
Fact that the only conviction for treason, on ac
count of the events of the rebellion, which hat
seen had in the Union, was ia tho District Cour
tor Kentucky.
2d. The continuation of military forces and au?
thority in the State, whereby the privileges o
the peoplo have been and are infringed; the freo
lom of tho elective franchise abridged; the ad?
ministration of civil law interfered with un?
necessarily and unlawfully, and tho poace and
jood order of society disturbed.
3d. The oxteneion into the State, as they main?
tain, without warrant of law and without ne
sessity, of the authority of the Freedmeu'i
Bureau.
The freedom of the nogro, and all his rights ol
person and property, are not moro secure in any
?tato ia tho Amcricaa Union than in Kentucky.
Ho is in no moro danger of lawless or ill usagre
there than in any other section of the country. It
is certainly true that many of the citizens of the
State dill not endorse the mannor of bis liberation;
but they ontertain no malice toward him for ac?
cepting freedom when proffered. Nor is any in?
tention entertained of endeavoring, by any means,
to reduce him again to servitude. On tho con?
trary, all recognize, as an accomplished fact, his
freedom. Being free, he is regarded as entitled
to the protection of law, and no one in the State
proposes to withhold that protection.
The presence of the agents of the Bureau there
tends only to produce demoralization and dissat
sfaction amongst the negroes, annoyanoe and in?
conveniences to the white citizens, and is produc?
tive of no good results. Numerous instances of
flagrant violation of law, and the feelings, as well
ts the rights of its citizens, by its agents might
bo given, but I will not detain you with such a re?
cital.
I venture this single further statement, that the
people of Kentucky and tho laws of tho State, if
[oft to themselves, will secure the negro in all his
rights of person and property; that there are
mofe cases of wrongs by negroes upon whito per?
sons in the State, which go unpunished by the
civil authorities, tnan of wrongs by white per?
sons against negroes.
Thus, Mr. President, I have given you, in brief,
a statemout of the feelings of the people of Ken?
tucky. I appeal to the distinguished gentlemen
present for corroboration of what I have said.
I will only add that these things, doemod by
them as grievances, have been borne with pa?
tience and comparative silence, because of the
confidence they repose in your sense of justice-,
and veneration for the fundamental and statute
laws of the land. They have been aware of tho
overshadowing matters of importance which have
been pressing upon your time, and have waited,
confident ia the belief that wheu "tho fullness of
time" shall have fully come, you will 'Uinroll the
Constitution." which will remedy all these evils.
They trust that time is not far distant-nay, is
sven now.
THE PBE8IDENT'S BEPL?.
The President responded in substance: It is not
needful that a formal or extended reply to what
you have said should be made. I tender you, and
through you, the peoplo whom you represent,
and of the State, my unfeigned thauks for these
kind expressions and manifestations of confidence
in me personally, and tho endorsement of the
policy which shall control my Administration. It
is peculiarly gratifying te re?oive these assuranc?
es at this particular time. I trust the results will
show that tho confidence thus reposed is not mis?
placed, and will never become a matter of regret
upon the part of those who give expression there?
to. Thc present is regarded as a most critical
juncture in the affairs of the nation-scarcely less
BO than when an armed and org >nized force sought
to overthrow the Government. To attack and at?
tempt the. disruption of tho Government by
armed combination ard military force is no more
dangerous to the lifo of tho nation than an attempt
to revolutionize and undermine it by a disregard
and destruction of the safeguard* thrown around
the liberties of the people in tho Constitution. Our
stand has been takon; om* course is marked out.
Wo shall stand by and dci'ond the Constitution
against all who may attack it, from whatever
quarter the attack inay como. Wc shall take no
step backward in this matter. No other or high?
er evidence of our purpose ia this regard can be
Riven than has already boon famished. In the
'"Jure, as iii the past, wo shall endeavor, in good
faith, to make tho administration of the affairs of
tho Government conform to tho Constitution in
its lotter and spirit; therein ia tho only guaranty
lo the liberties of thu peoplo. It fe boped hy an
! adherence to this rule t-> remedy ero long all" ibo
1 irretrjilbrit iee and annoyances to which the people
i nave beeii subjected.
I Again do wo aseuro you that thc.^o demonstra
tiona of confidence and assurances of support up?
on the part of the people are exceedingly cheer?
ing to us; that we are grateful for and properly
appreciate them, and that our wish is to so dis?
charge, the traste confided to us as to merit them.
I need not say more at present.
