CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 29.-300 or 400 Fenians, partially armed, carrying colors, officers with side-arms, passed here last ?tight and to-day ? going East. They were orderly, and claimed to bo en route for California. The Cincinnati Commercial reports the movement of Fenians bound for Canada, and large shipment of arms. The secrecy of the movement indicates business of a grave character. The oontroversy between the Fonian leaders continues. President Roberts has had au interview with Stephens, the latter requesting him to discontinue tho move? ment against Canada. Roberts replied that he was determined to persist, as he behoved in lighting. Stephens thou asked him to desist for thirty days, which was declined. The leaders arc now openly op? posing each other.

Congressional. WASHINOTON, May 29.-lu the United States Senate, the Colorado veto bill was passed over. The reconstruction resolu? tions were considered.

Soveral amendments were offered embo? dying the views agreed upon in Republican can,'us.

The following article from the Na? tional Intelligencer will he rea?I with interest, as it is generally understood that paper is in the confidence of the President: The recent references to the trial of Mr. Davis have called public at? tention to this subject, which very naturally in a largo ?.legree interests the public mind. The indictment, in tho usual form for treason, has been fourni by tho Grand Jury in thc United States Circuit Court, nt Nor folk. Mr. Davis is indicted undei the Act of 1790, under which tho pe nalty, on conviction, is death. II? could have boon indicted under th? Act of July 31, 1801, for a seditioui conspiracy, tho punishment of whicl is a fine, not over ?5,000, and impri sonment, with or without bani labor not over six years. Ono of tho mos important points is thc drawing o tho petit jury who aro charged witl thc trial of the prisoner. The j ur; is to be drawti according to lot o otherwise, according to the mod practiced in tho State for select?v juries for tho highest courts of law Tho number of jurors to bo summon eil is left to tho discretion of tho Corni as at common law. Tho Act of Jul 10, 1862, repeals so much of tho Ai of 1789 as requires in cases puuisl able with death that twelve pct jurors bo summoned from thc Count where tho offene?! was committe? Under the Act of Jun?? 17, 1802, n person is allowed to sit on the jiu who was in any degree of complicit with the rebellion. This is an Act? controlling importance, because insures that the trial shall be before loyal jury. Mr. Davis cannot I tried by any ?>f his confederates, li fate will rest entirely with his polit cal opponents. The jury must I unanimous, or the MI bono ve diet. This is the able rule tho common law, ami has exist? time whereof tho memory of nu runneth not to the contrary. Tl presiding judge can rule authorit lively on ?jucstious of evidence they may ?.rise in tho progress <<f tl trial; but aa the jury always, in ci minal cases, return a general verdi of guilty or not guilty, they are pm tically the judges of the law a-s w as the fact, and there is no app? frtnn their decision. There has nev boon any exception to this piiucij iu the common law, except that cases ?d libel it had frequently bo determined by tho Court of Ki nj Bench that thc only question for t consideration of tho jury in cri ni ii prosecutions for libel was tho fact publication ami tho truth of thc ii euiloes, and that tho Court alone w competent to determine whether t subject of tho publication was or v not a libel. And it was for this rilli of Lord Mansfield that the celeb tedJuniusso bitterly attacked L< Mansfield. Lord Camden, tho frie of liberty, differed from Lord Ma: fiohl, and the matter was finally { to rest by the memorable A?*t of 1' liauient 32, George ill, known Mr. Fox's Act, which determined 1 law against Lord Mansfield's jiu ment, by expressly recognizing I right of tho jury to determine I facts and law of tho cast* by a go ral verdict of guilty or not guilty. The trial can only end in one three ways: 1. By verdict of gui] 2. By verdict of not guilty. 3. the inability of the jury to agree. In the event of this third alter tive, the first quotion which A arise is, whether Mr. Davis will entitled t?> bail. Tho Constitut provides that "in all criminal pr? entions thc accused shall enjoy right to a speedy and public tri: lu determining whether Mr. Da after more than a year's close im sonment, would be entitled, in event of the disagreement of j jury, to be discharged on bail, wc bo a question of legal discretion be determined by the judge. By celebrated habeas corpus Act of Charles IT, it was provided, si: ; "that every person committed treason or felony, shall, if ho i\.q it, the first week of the next term j the first ?lay of tho next sessioi Oyor and Terminer, be indictee that term or session, <>r else admi I to bail, unless tho King's witne cannot be produced; and if not dicteil and tried in tho second t or session, ho shall be dischai from his imprisonment for such puted offence." It is not likely our judges w< take a less favorable view of the soner's application than in Un? furnished by this statute. The ons ?piestion would be, how n terms of tho court have passed s the prisoner was ?irst arrested? counsel would in all probability tomi that, by intendment of I United States courts were hoi I their regular terms for the last tv months in the State ?d' Yirgini; ' at least might have, done so. A thor provision of tho Constiti: might, perhaps, also, in tho even a disagreement of tho jury, b yoked in behalf of tho prisoner on? which sets forth as follows: ' shall any person be subject, foi sam?' offence, to he twi<*o put in purdy of life or limb." Tho mea of this rule is, that a dtdendaiit legal jeopardy tho moment a jury is charged with the docisic his case. But, though there been som?! difference of opinio tho point, it may ' assumed when the jury ar?- arged the further and final . tsion <> case, because of their inabili agree, the prisoner may bc brid tried anew. At ono timo in England, where the jury could not agree on a capital case, the judge, instead of discharging them at tho end of tho term, had them carted around the circuit with him. This practico, how? ever, is exploded. In case, then, of tho inability of the jury to agree, tho utmost tho prisoner could ask, from that fact alone, would bo thc j right to ho out of prison on bail. The subjoined pithy paragraph is from tho New York Herald: Every day wc have some fresh I rumor about the trial of Jori*. Davis, I and thc public aro beginning to weary of the subject. If Congress would only pass a resolution to open his prison doors and let him go whither? soever ho would, thc people would bo perfectly satisfied. All idea of vin? dictiveness is absurd as well as unpo- j pi?ar. Iiis caso has been settled by | tho result of thc rebellion; and the I time has gone by when this great nation should wreak its vengeance upou a political criminal. Eet the Government, then, treat Jell*. Davis) as my Unelo Toby treated thc Hy - open tho door of Fortress Monroe I and let him go forth. Surely the I world is largo enough for Jeff. Davis : and thc United States. Noell, I'niolluu. Tho following is tho Governor's message to tho State Convention of North Carolina, now assembled in, extra session : < iKNTIilCMKN OL' THU CONVENTION I. Since your adjournment last October, ? nothing bas como to my knowledge! touching our position in reference to ' tho Federal Government which is not ' matter of public history. At ymir \ previous session, you made thc re-j epiisite amendments to thc Constitu? tion nud passed tho ordinances be- ; lievedtobe necessary to a complete reconciliation with the United States and our restoration to national fra- ' teruity. Although our people, with remarkable unanimity, Melded their j assent to your action, and wore ready, without any exception within my knowledge, to acknowledge their al legiancoto tho United States and to ! obey the laws and Constitution there- ; of, we have been grievously disap? pointed by tho rejection of our mom hors from tho Congress of 'ho indi, n. I This rejection has not heel laced on j the ground of any irre;-;;, . ri ty in their election or qvialitication. NV"! ile Congress recognizes thc exist? I tho State Government to thc elle? r, j incorporating into tho Constitu?. ; of the United States our amendments thereof, they continue to govern and ; to levy taxes without allowing us any participation in making the laws <.;? imposing tho national taxes. Con gross has been sitting for some five | months, without providing any terms , on which it is proposed to recognize | our admission. Wo have elected men . whom we believe to ho as loyal as any ] men in tho United States, every ono I of whom labored to preserve the Union until hostilities had actually i commenced, and ever;, ono of them ? has renewed, or is ready to renew, his oath of fidelity to the Govern? ment of tho United States. Whotln r any one of them could conscientious? ly swear that ho never aided or sym- I pathized with tho rebellion, I do not know. If no mendier can bo received from the States lately in rebellion 1 without taking the Congressional test j oath, it will amount to practical dis? franchisement. lt was presumed, when you adjourned iu Oct.'lier last, that by this time tho Union would I have been fully restored, or that Cou ? gross would have defined its policy of ; restoration. Neither event has oc? curred Neither the President nor Congress has yet ina.lo known nn\ further requirements. 1 l ave no in? formation which warran vs mo in making any suggestions to you as to any further action which you may properly take tending to produce the desired harmony between ns: so. act I as to retain our self-n. peet and give to our late enemies no just grounds for tho continuance of ill-will against tis. National prosperity cannot bo ! restored until reconciliation and con? cord shall bc re-established. If bit tern ess is tobe continued, let all <>f I us strive to co-operate with tho Pre? sident in his patriotic plans, and re? frain from giving any just excuse ?.>r thc continuance of such feeling, and 1 hope the ?lay is not far distant when tho Northern people will become satisfied that their distrust ol' us is unfounded, and that thc religion wo ! profess, as well ?us public policy, de I marni mutual forgiveness and recon? ciliation. I herewith enclose a com? munication from tho public Tr. a I surer,suggesting certain amendments j to the revenue Acts of tho last Gone ; ral Assembly. I commend his recom? mendation to your favorable coled deration. lu consequence of the order of the President of tho I'nited States relieving tho Provisional Go vernor, 1 entered upon the discharge of my duties as Civil Governor, in conformity with your ordinance, <.u the'JStii day of December la !. I had to encounter some irregularities, growing ont of the transition; but I with the universal de-ire ol' tho poo plo to restore order, no serious t li tl t - ? cullies have presented themselves I'M putting into action tho machinen . i civil Government in the State. In my oflieial correspondence and inter? course with the executive officers ol' the I'nited States and with P.rcvel Maj. (?en. Unger, the military coin mandant of this State, all have rx hibited a uniform disposition to avoid ; unnecessary pu rin s in tho discharge of our respective duties, ?iud a readi? ness to co-operate with mo in every? thing tending to restore the cordial reconciliation between tho lately bel? ligerent sections of our country. I learn from Gen. Buger, lo whom the President of the United States has lately assigned the chief supervision of thc Freedmen's Bureau in this Siate, that he would gladly give to tho civil courts of tho State full juris? diction in all matters relating to freedmen, but that ho feels embar? rassed in doing so consistently v>-ith his instructions, on account of cer? tain provisions and conflicting con? structions of the Act of the (h uerai Assembly, passed at its late session, entitled "An Act concerning negroes, persons of color or of mixed blood," &C. His difficulties are understood to grow out of the ninth and eleventh sections ol' the Act. As it is very desirable that thc civil courts shall mete out uniform justice OJ all, white, and blue!,, according to law, and that all cause of dissatisfaction as to con? flict of jurisdiction should bo avoid? ed, I recommend thc subject to your consideration. My relations to your body, as I conceive, do not warrant mo in submitting any recommenda? tion whatever in reference to thc scope of your action. Uenoo I had not intended, until your call of yester? day, to submit any message windover. Having the fullest confidence in y??ui wisdom, I could m.! obtrude my view , or wi bes.
