THE FENIAN SYMPATHISERS TO BE PUNISHED-TM PEACHMENT ABROAD-THE ROMAN QUESTION - LATEST FOREION MARKETS, ETC., ETC. LONDON, December 12.-Tho soldiers who inarch ed in the Fenian funeral processions have been arrested and will bo court-martialed. The action of tho United States House of Repre? sentatives on the resolution for tho impeachment of tho President, excites considerable comment. The Times this morning has an editorial on thc subject, in the course of which it highly praises the House for its refusal to impeach thc President, and considers this result as a reopening of thc course of practical legislation. The Times ex? presses the fear, however, that the President will accept tho action of the House as a new endorse? ment of his policy, and from this concludes that all hopes of sound reconstruction must be de? ferred. It is inferred from the tenor of tho speech made by M. Rouher in the Corps L?gislatif, that the French Emperor bas adopted a policy on the Ro? man question which coincides with the viows and desires of tho clerical party. This impression is strengthened by tho tone of the French press. The liberal journals are greatly dissatisfied, while the clerical organs seem pleased and jubilan1..

WASHINGTON, December ll.-Mr. Sherman re? ported the House bill repealing the cotton tax, and it will be considered to-morrow. The consideration of the bill conveying the pro? ceeds of captured and abandoned property into the Treasury was resumed. Mr. Fessenden said it amounted to thirty-five millions, bnt opposed the bill, saying that there are claims now pending in the Court of Chums for twenty millions of this property to whom the bill would work injustice. It was postponed. The consideration of tho joint resolution censur? ing the President was resumed, Mr. Johnson hav? ing the floor. The Senate refused concurrence. The House resolution striking the word ''white" from the district laws was then considered, and the Senate then went into Executive session and adjourned.

The Committee on Roads and Canale were di? rected to inquire into the expediency of appropri? ating money for a canal around the falls of Ohio, on the Indiana side.

ATLANTA, December 12.-The Convention passed a relief ordinance this morning, mtioduced by R. B. Bullock, of Richmond, which reads as follows: "Be it ordained," <xc, "that from and after the passage of this ordinance all levies which have been or may be made, under an execution issued from any court in this State, shall be suspended until this Convention sbr'l have taken or refused to take final action upon the mattera of relief, and that all sales under executions, in violation of this ordinance, shall be null and void, and of no effect." The Georgia Supreme Court having decided tho stay laws of the last legislature to be unconstitu? tional, this ordinance, which it is understood will bo enforced by Gen. Pope, commanding the Mili? tary District, will operate as a barrier to ill legal action upon private debts until the Convention can act further. The remainder of tin- dav s se-sion was consumed in discussing rules nf order. Thc \ i w Alabama Constitution. MONTGOMERY, December 12,-The Advertiser of this morning publishes tho preamble and resolu? tions adopted by the Montgomery Conned of thc Union Loyal League, denouncing the new consti? tution and calling on the colored league t d to aid in defeating it, declaring that the delegates to the Convention went far beyond the purview of their duties and instructions, and framed a constitution disfranchising and proscribing a portion of the most intelligent and law-abiding citizens of Ala bama, and characterized in every feature by a fiendish motivo ofrovougc and hatred, and resolv? ed, fiirst, that In the opinion of thia Council, the said constitution is an infamous fraud upon the rights of tho people of this Stato, and will, if rati? fied, inevitably result in the deoarrnient of the white race, and tho destruction of the black. 2d. That wo cannot, consistently with our obli? gations as members of thc Union Loyal Loague Of America, give aid or support in any manner what? ever to thc nefarious scheme to destroy at ono tel1 swoop thc peace, happiness and prosperity, for al ' time to come, of thc whole people of tho State of Alabama. 9 3d. That we, as Union Republicans, and as mem? bers of the Montgomery Council of America, cal' on all law a aiding and Union loving colored men of Alabama to unite with us in our efforts to defeat the adoption of this constitution, which embodies principles dangerous to constitutional liberty, pro? motive of civil war between the races, and destruc? tive of all the ends of good government. 4th. That we denounce as contemptible an effort on tho part of a lew of the members of ibis Coun? cil, who are mero political adven hirers, to break up tho same because they had failed to make it su'-servient to tbeso nie political schemes. The above resolutions are put forth by tho au? thority of Leaguo as a true copy of tho minutes of the Council, and sigr.ed by the Socrotary. Serious divisions in the Radical ranks are taking placo in other sections of thc State. The "Advertiser" of to-morrow .viii containa statement on tho authori? ty of the citizens of Autauga county, that the color? ed loyal leaguers have been irreconcilably eplit in consequence of the objectionable features of the constitut-'on framed by tho Convention, and the caucus of tin members of tho Convention, who nominated for State officers all whites, and all members of the Convention, and leaving blacks out in the cold. At tho county seat of Kingston but two loyal leaguers aro left, both white men. So far as beard from, a split of the leaguers bas also taken place in Bullock, Pike and Bartow counties from the same cans'"'. The Conservatives are organizing clubs through? out the State to defeat the constitution at the ;om ing election, and in certain sections are receiving 1-rgo accessions of tho colored element. In Pratt? ville, Autagua countr, on Saturday, over fifty men joined the Conservativo club, uniting with the whites, and denouncing the constitution. A call, signed by colorod men, for the formation of color? ed Conservative clubs here, declares its object shall be, first, tbe cultivation of mutual assistance and good feeling, without which there can be neither peace, prosperity or repose to either. 2. To support in the approaching election the policy of our own tried people, neighbors and friends, Vi hose capital furnishes us employments, and whoso roofs sheltor us, in preference to that inaugurated by strangers and their albes. 3. To discourage by all means in our power that war of races which evil counsels and ignoranoe seem to bo hastening, and which once inaugurated will re? sult in our certain and speedy destraction. The Virginia Conservative Convention. RICHMOND, December 12.-The Conservative Convention met this morning. The committee reported a series of resolutions, which were adopt? ed unanimously, as follows : The first recognizes that by tho result of war slavery has been abobshed, and it is not the desire of tho people of Virginia to reduce to slavery again a people emancipated by the events of the war, and by amendments to the Constitution of the United States. The second asserts the right of Virginia to be restored to the Union, and declares her intention, in good faith, to perform ber duties to thc Union. The third protests against governing Virginia in any way not defined in the Federal Constitu? tion. The fourth adopts tho language of the resolu? tion, adopted at Cooper Institute, New York, that the military government is a subversive funda? mental idea in our Government, and its object, which is to subject the people of tho Southern Stutes to the rule of a race just emerged from slavery, is abhorrent to the civilization of man? kind and to the Northern people, in surrendering as it does a third of thu Senato and ii quarter of tho House, which are to legislate over us, to the dominion of an organized class of emancipated slaves, who aro without any of the training habits or traditions of self-government. 5th. It disclaims all hostility to the black population, and asserts that tho people of Vir? ginia sincerely desire to see thom advanced in intelligence, and are willing to extend them libe? ral protection ; but whilo any constitution adopted by the State should mako all men equal before the law, yet this Convention distinctly disclaims that the Governments of tho State and Union were formed by white men, to be Bubject to their con? trol, and suffrage should still be remedied so as to continue both under tho control and direction of the white rac?. Otb. That the pooplo of Virginia will co-oporaio with all men throughout the Union, of whatever name or party, who will labor to restore tho c< n stitutioual union oi the States, and continue its government under tho control of the white race. A resolution was adopted authorizing tho Cen? tral Committee to take steps tostiug the con? stitutionality of the Reconstruction acts in the Supreme Court of the Uuitod States. In discussing this resolution, General Imbodeu, who had sued out a mandamus against General Schofield, stated that his case with similar ones relative to suffrage in Alabama and Mississippi would be carried to the Supreme Court. A resolution that the object of the Convention was to organize a '"white man's party,-' and no sub? jects foreign to this should be discussod, was tabled. The President was authorized to appoint a com? mittee to prepare an address tc tho poople of Vir? ginia and the United States, when thc Convention adjourned sine die. After adjournment, the Hon. R. M. T. Hunter made a short address in auswer to calls, and said that between slave and military rule be preferred the latter, for tho men who wielded the latter were of his own race. He cited Hayti and Jamaica as the results of negro rule, and believed the Radical majority of Congress, if they expected to control the blacks and prevent their excesses, would find themselves wofully mistaken. To give the blacks the power of governments iu Southern States would be the highest crime against nature, and ba believed that when the North saw the results, tnere would be a reaction which would sweep such governments from the face of America. This generation has suffered, and will suffer more, but the State will live ?nd look back to this period as the only dark episode. The scenes now p . - sing will only make men true to the State that gave them birth. The Chairman of tho Conservative Convention appointed Wm. C. Rives, R. M. T. Hunter, John Janey, Jas. Marshall and J. R. Tucker a committee to preparo an address to thc people of Virginia and the United States. Thc Virginia Reconstruction Convention , RICHMOND, December 12.- A colored delegate to? day offered a resolution appointing a committee of five to investigate what can be done to put a stop to tht intimidation of loyal men who aiv not land? holders, but who voted the Republican ticket, and are distressed therefore by disloyal landholders. Three colored and two white Republicans spoke in favor and three Conservatives in opposition to tho resolution. The speeches took a wide political range, and pending the discussion the Convention adjourned. - ? ? * -- The Louisiana Convention. NEW OKLF.AXS, December 12.-In the Conven? tion to-day a resolution was offered declaring that the Convention proceed at once to organize a civil government for Louisiana, lt was laid over and ordered to be printed. A resolution was offered making the Constitution of 1804, properly amend? ed, tbe.ba8is of the proposed constitution, and directing tiie Convention to adjourn, subject to tho direction of Congress, waa referred. A resolution making the per diem of President double that of the members of the Convention was unanimously adopted. The Chair to-day decided that the vote of yesterday on the bond question waa "on the adoption ol the report of the Select Committee, and that only Blackburn's ordinance was amend? ed to read $3O,U0O instead ot $5UU,0UO, and which again - ame up, was adopte 1 by a vote ol thirty three to thirty-two. Suow storm in Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA, December 12, A furious north? east snow storm commenced this UK-ming early, and bus been prevailing ull day. Thc President's Message Concerning Stan? ton's Removal. THE REASONS FOR HW ACTION-STANTON'S CONDUCT AS A CABINET OFFICER CONTRASTED WTTH OR ANT. WASHINGTON, December 12.-Tho President's message to the Senate, giving; reasons for tho sus? pension of Stanton, is regarded as a masterly doc? ument. He quotes Stanton's reply to his request that Stanton should resign, wherein Stanton says that considerations of a high public character load him to withhold his resignation until the next meeting of Congress. This the President holds was not an allegation merely, but a form utterly wanting in the respect due from Stanton to his superior officer. Thc point is made that Stanton could not appeal to the law creating the War De partrnent,|becau8e that law gives tho President the right to remove Stanton. Tho Teuure of Office bill alone supported Stanton, but that law did not com? pel him to retain the office. The President argues the necessity of unity aud harmony among his oonatitutioual advisers, and alludes to his haviug, with one exception, retained tho Cabinet of bis predecessor; and states, incidentally, that the Cabinet was unanimous in his policy of recon? struction, and ripon the unconstitutionality of tho Tenure of Office bill. Stanton having been United States Attorney, was specially consulted, and was emphatic and resolute in his condemnation of tho bill as unconstitutional. Tho most pointed and specific charge refers to the New Orleans riots. According to thc narrative, General Beard report? ed to Stanton tho danger of thc riot and askod ad? vice. Stanton not only withheld instructions to Beard, but kept the dispatch from the President and bis Cabinet until after the occurrenco of thc riot. The President holds that had Stanton acted himself, or inado tho mossago of Beard known to his superiors, tho riot would have been preven tod. He produces a letter from Sheridan to the eflect that had Sheridan been advised of tho danger ot the riot, it could have been avoided. The President concludes that tho public cannot complain of the change, because tho judicious measures of the new Secretary have already saved many millions of tho public treasure. The Mississippi and Arkansas Conventions Carried. ATLANTA, December 12.-General Ord has is? sued an order declaring that Conventions have been carried in Mississippi and Arkansas, and or? ders Conventions to assemble at Jackson and Lit? tle Rock on January 7th. Thc order says there are such irregularities at some precincts as make it impossible to give the total vote in each State for or against the Convention. Snow Storm in thc West. SANDUSKY, Onto, December 12.-The severest snow storm ever known has prevailed here for the past twenty hours. Tho water in the bay rose live feet. At Cleveland all tho trains were behind time, and no trains learing. Petition for Dr. Dludd's Release.

A TRYING WEEK-GENERAL SHERMAN AND CHABLIS DICKENS-THE NF.EDLE-GUN-CLERICAL MATTF.nS SHOCKING TRAGEDY. The New York correspondent ol'Mn* Philadel? phia Ledger, writes under dale of Dceinbcr9: Tho week just closing will loug be remembered as one of the most trying, in mercantile and busi? ness circles, that has been experienced for many years. Thc failures have been many, and among them arc several houses that havo heretofore weathered manv a storm without damage. There aro some who think that there are even wor?o ex? periences ahead, but tlieso aro Job's comtortcrs ; the moro hopeful, as well as tho moro general view, is that wo have ubi ut touched bottom, and that though no relief from tho existing stagna? tion cnn reasonably bc looked for until we cuter the now year, the .situation will then assuredly bo giu to improve. No littlo feeling ia expressed among tho army officers hero that Lieutenant-General Sherman was permitted to pass through this city yesterday without receiving the slightest token of public re? spect. They sav they feel the slight all the more keenly in view of the ostentatious demonstrations that were recently made in honor of other less prominent officers. Mr. Charles Dic\ens arrived from Boston this afternoon, and took rooms at thc Westminster Hotel. M his evening he will receive many of his old Now Y'ori: friends, and to-morrow, after going to Trinitv Church, he will drive or be driven out to bec thc Central Park, thc High Bridgo, Sec. Thc famous lTussiau needle-gun is to have a trial (tho firet time in America) at the State Arsenal, in the Seventh-avenue, on Tuesday next. Tho Prussian aa well tis tho American cartridge Will be used. The latter is said to surpass in vi pidtty of firing even the cartridge originally in? vented for this species of gun. Tuo trial will bo under tho supervision of a Board o? Officers-. Rev.

The hardware and iron dealers have called a meeting "ti Monday, in Park Place, to appoint del? egates to thc forthcoming National Con\o;.tion ot tue manufacturing interests, at Cleveland, on tho 18ili instant, to agit ito for the repeal ol all taxes on domestic manufactures, and l'or a general re? vision of tho internal revenue law*. The paper dealers meet on Tuesday fora similar action. A shocking discovery >vas made in au apartment in the house No. 107 Atlantic-street, Brooklvn, this morning. A .Mrs. Catharine Fall and her daughter, J' unie-the formel aboul forty and the latter about sixteen we found lyingon thc bed dead, and locked in each other's arni*. Both were in their night dresses, i he cause ot their death is as yet a mystery, but they are supposed to have been poisoned. A druggist, who keeps a place in Whitehall-street, near nattery place, iu this city, who is known to have been a frequent visitor ?it the house, has been arrested on suspicion. Motlier and daughter were kingfish, and had been in tlii.i country only a few months. Their apartments were quite elegantly furnished. Mrs. Fall repre? sented her ell ns a widow. Both arc said to have been out with tho drnggiatat a late hour last night.

There were no bottles in the room or anything which might lead to the suppo? sition that ?the deceased had committed suicide. There was no discoloration about tue face of .Mrs. Fall, except upon the chin, upon which there was a large white spot about tho size of a silver half dollar.

BEXATOB DBAKE'S CENSURE RESOLUTION-CASE OF F.X-BECBETABY STANTON-IHOBABLE ACTION OF THE SENA ra-DIVEBSE OPLVKNB - OENERAL GRANT'S COURSE-ANOTHER EXPECTED VETO-MISCELLANE? OUS NEWS, ETC. Thc Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun writes, under dato of the 10th instant : Mr. Ashley and other inipeachors, having done all in their power to make friends for Mr. Johnson, ant having exhausted thomsolves in the effort. Senator Drake baa como to their aid to complete tho work, and to that ond to-day let off at the Sen? ate an atrabilarious speech, the burthen of which is that tho President should bo censured for daring to express the opinion that a law passed by a two thirds vote in Congress is, nevertheless, unconsti? tutional. 1'i-om present appearances the tenuro project will meet with a similar fate in tho Senate to that which befell impeachment in the House. Within twelve days the President must scud to tho Senate a communication Bettine; forth the sus? pension of Socrotary Stanlon. It is probable that this notification may be givon the Senate this week, accompanied with the further notice that tho Executive has also removed Mr. Stanton. There is much speculation as to what may bc the action of the Senate on th e subject. Some who should know the sentiments of Sen? ators assert that they will confirm the proceed? ings of the President," on tho ground that the ten? uro of office law is unconstitutional eo far as it restricts the Executive in the removal and selec? tion of cabinet officers, and for tho additional rea? son that good has come oat of the suspension of the late Seerotary, by reason of thc largo reduc? tion in the expenses ol' the War Department through tho retrenchments directed by General Grant. Others, well informed, are of tho opinion that tho Senate will decide tht.t Mr. Stanton is the lerra] Secretary of War, and that, upon official notifica? tion of such decision, Ur. Stanton will demand possession of tho papers, etc., in tho War Depart? ment, the demand first being made upon the Pre? sident, and, in eise of bin refusal, then that the late Secretary wili make formal demand upon General Grant for a surronder of thc custody of the archives and department. Whether General Grant will surrender, of conrso cannot now be de? termined, but, if be shall refuse, Mr. Stanton must seek his remedy in the courts. It is uncer? tain whether the President will nominate n now Secretary of War until after all these questions arc disposed of. RECORDING VOTEil ON" IMPEACHMENT. In the House to-day an effort was mado to sus? pend tho rules so as to allow tboso members who were not present on Saturday to record their votes. Tho movement was made by tho opponents of im? peachment, but was likowiso voted down by the same side, with thc avowed intention of rebuking absenteeism, or, in otha: words, of not porrmttin a member out of his sea': as many privileges as ono in bis seat. ANOTHER VETO EXPECTED. Another veto may soon bo expeoled from the President. The House to-day passed for tb." se cond time tho bill to strike out the word "white' from tho laws of this District regulating thc seine lion of jurors, leaving colored tax-payers equally eligible with white. This bill passed both branches of Congress in July last, but was subjected to a pocket veto by tho President. Should Congress take its usual holiday recess it will again aburo a like fate. GENERAL HANCOCK'S ADMINISTRATION IS LOUISIANA THE PBESIDE.SCY. Tbs courso which General Hancock is pursuing in his government of the Fifth Military District, is exciting the liveliest interest here, both in Radi? cal and Conservative circles. It is needless to say that in the former he ia looked upon with distrust, and bas already been denounced as a compliant tool of the Executive. With the latter, however, he bas suddenly become a prodigious favorite, and Democratic members of Congress from Pennsyl? vania talk of bis fitness as a candidato for the Presidency. Tho exuberance of regard for Gene? ral Hancock is confined to thc delegation fioin tho Keystone State, the Democrats from other sections of the Union being divided to an amazing extent upon the choice for next President. General Grant of course, would unite them all if he consented to stand upon a conservative platform; but his posi? tion is so provokingly undefined, as they consider, that it becomes every day a more perplexing ques? tion as to who will be AT the Democratic standard. OLD THAD ON HIS HOBBY. When Mr. Thaddeus Stevens' bill providing a system of public education for children in tho dis? trict, irrespective of class or color, was introduced it was referred without reading, but now that it ia printed, attention is awakened in Congress tc*| avine of its financial features, which 9re quito "huuiorsome." One section, fer ^instance, pro? vides that the "school controllers' shall cause to be inscribed in large capitals over thc main en? trance of every schoolhouse, and in some con? spicuous place in every schoolroom, thc lines ''All men are created equal, they aro endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and thu pursuit of J happiness;" and thu (oaener shall cause those lines to be recited at least once a day, with the other recitations, by the students who have taken up reading and writing. The supervising archi? tect shall take caro that this inscription is m "un? fading material." Another section enacts that "if the controllers should deem it proper to have a separate cemetary lor the inmute? of (ho public schools, it is directed that the asme iuscription snail be placod over its main entrance together witta the immortal words ; ''Pallida mors aequo puisai pede pauperurn tabernas Rejumque tur? ras." WHY OENET./tL SHERMAN IS TN WASHINGTON. A letter in the Baltimore Gazette says: "The President would havo rosisted suspension and in thia resistance ho would havo boon sus? tained by General Sherman, ii not hy olhnr gene? ral officers of tho army. Hence ibo Gener?is presence at the national capital. Tho verdant in? dividual who would uigue that bc carno only to write up a report on Iudiau affairs, because, foi soolb, the emergency did not arise for bis assum? ing command of the Department of Washington, exhibits a lack of judgment, if not of brains." THE BILL REPEALING THE COTTON TAX.-AB wo know, many of our readers aro solicitous in regard to thc progress of legislation in regard to thc re? peal of the cotton tax, wo publish tho full text of the act. It bas been read twice in thc Sonate and referred to tho Committee of Finance, which re? ported yesterday.

THE PHILADELPHIA UNIVERSITY OF MEDICINE AND SURGERY was organized in 184B. Chartered by tho Legislature, February 26. 1853. Nace changed by a legislative enactment to the Eclectic ved ual col? lege, of Philadelphia, in 18i3<>. In 1863 lt pmxeased the Pennsylvania Medical college, es^bUshed in 1312, and the Philadelphia Medical College, which had previously been morned into thc Pennsylvania Medical < ollegc. in 1864 it purchased the Perin Medical Univi rsry. Tae Trustees of the separate schools united, petitioned and obtain od a special Act of the Lopis,ature, consolidating theso institutions and cha-gmg their samoa to that ol the Philadelphia University of Medicine and Surgery, March 16, 1865. All these various Acts are publi hed in the statutes of Pennsylvania. The cost of tho 1 uRding and museum was over ono hundred thousand dollars. It will be observed that the University, as now organized, is the legal representative of the four Medical College? that il bas absorbed. It is a liberal school of medicine, con? fined to no dogma, nor attached to any medical cliques, but embraces in its teaching everything of ,-alue to the profession. Sarioni.-It has two tull sessions each year, commenc? ing on the 1st of October, and continuing until the 1st of January, as its first session, and from the 1st of January to the 1st ol April, as its second; the two constituting one full course of lectures. It has also a summer session, commencing tho lat April and continuing until August, for (he preparatory branches, auci aa Latin, Greek, Mathematics, Botany, Zoology, Chemistry, Anatomy Physiology, otc. Tickets.-Tickets to thc lull coarse of lectores $120, or (60 for each session. For the summer or preparatory course $36. Oraudating reo $30. To aid youug men of moderate means, the University has issued five hundred scholarships, which are sold to first-course students lor $75. aud to second-course students and clergymen for $50, each constituting the holder a life member, with the perpetual privileges of the lectures, and ah the teachings of tho school. The only sdditional fees are a j early dis? secting and matriculating ticket, each of which is $Q. The Advantage) of Sdiolarthipt.-Ihe student holding a scholarship can enter the College at any time during the year, attend as long as he chooses, and re-enter the insti tutiou as frequently as de..Ired. It requires no previous reading or study to enter the University on scholarships, hence, all privan ' 'Mon fees aro saved. Students, by holding scholarships, can prose other business a part ol the time. Tho candidate for graduation can present himself at any time, and receive bis degree as soon as qualifi?e. In case a stu lent Should hold scholarship and uoi. be able to attend lectures, it :an ba transferred to another, thus preventing any loss. Parents, guardians or friends of students wishing to purchase scholarship tor them a year or more bator? their attendance at tho University, can secure them by advancing one-half tho price and paying the balance when the student enters. Physicians and benevolent men can bestow great benefit upon poor young men by presenting them a scholarship, and thus e nab Ung thom to oDtain an honorable profession. The Faculty embraces seventeen eminent physicians and surgeons. The University has associated with it a large hospital clinic, who te every form of medical and surgical disease is operated on and treated in the pres? ence ot the class. COLLEGE BUILDrs-o.-".'he College building, located In Ninth street, south of W.ilnut, ia the finest ta the city. Its front is collegiate gothic, and ls adorned w i th em battlements and embrasures, presenting a novel, bold, and beautiful appearance.

Tho building contains between fifty and sixty rooms, all supplied with water, gas, and every other convenience that modern improvement can contribute to facilitate medical instruction, only five hundred scholarships will be issued, and as two hundred and fifty are now sold, those wno wish to secure one should do so at once. Money can be remitted by express, or a draft or chaca sent on any National Bank m the United States, when the scholarship will bo returned by mail, signed by the President of the Board of Trustees, JOSEPH S.
