Fears arc enter? tained for tho safety of tho clipper Bhip Monarch of thc Seas, now forty cays over? due from Liverpool. She sailed from that ^Pirt March 20, with 7tX) passengers. Another death ia reported from cholera on Cherry street, and two mere cases not fatal. Several new caaes have broken ont at quarantine It is denied that rinderpest, affecte tho cattle hore. Thc Special Milk Inspector says it ia tho common swill disease. Rumors of the assassination of Judge Underwood startled thc city to-day. It was a canard. Tho trial of Paymaster Paulding waa concluded to-dav. It was shown thafr ho disbursed over $140,000,000 in tho Depart? ment of Washington, and largo sums in tho South. Nothing waa ever alleged against his official acts until his deposits of large sums with tho Merchants' National Bank just before tho failure here, when he was arraigned for violation of orders. Noue of the evid?uco showed corrupt motivos. The finding of thc court-martial has hoon ?eut to the President. NEW YORK, June 15.-S. L. Morton, of Montgomery, and A. H. Coulds, late of tho Confederate army, and representing them? selves as agents of Santa Anna, in April, purchased the steamer Agnes, for fl00,000 in gold, from W. J. Taylor <v, Co., of Phila? delphia, to be paid on delivery of the ves? sel at St. Thomas. Tho purchase i^ repu? diated by the General, and thc owners of thc vessel retur.ied lo this country and put thc purchasers on bond to fulfil tho terms of the contract. They failed, how? ever, and were, yesterday, arrested on a warrant and committed to jail, ia default of bail in $20,000 each. The customs receipts at the four princi? pal ports, for tho week ending tho '.Uh, were 13,250,000; upwards ??f M.000,000 of thiH was at New York. Congrcftsioiml. WASHINGTON, June 15. -In the Senate, the Pcosidont returned thc hill incorporating the New York aad Montana Iron ?vid Min Lng Company, with his objections. The President thinks the bill gives a monopoly to a corporation of unknown corporators, to the detriment of settlers who have rights to claims of land under the home? stead law. Tn the House, a committee was ap? pointed to investigate the facts ol Ros seau's assault on Grinned, and to report the same, with a resolution looking to the vindication ot the dignity of the House, and tho protection of the members <>: the House. Mr. Ringham submitted concurrent re? solutions, requesting the President to in? form forthwith tho Governors of the States of the passage by Congress of thc proposed constitutional amendment, so that the Lo* gislatures may act on it at once. This being objected to. remarks followed, which led to a decision hy the Speaker that joint resolutions did not have to be submitted to the President for his signature. After some debate on the special order a bill restoring thc Southern States to po? litical privileged- tho House adjourned. Mar kr t Report?. NEW YORK, Juno 15.-Cotton steady, at 39(??-12c.

Gold, 48L*_ _ THE FENIANS AND NEW YORK Crrr POLITICS.-The New York lier nhl says the political organs of that city have all made a great mistake about the Fenians. The Democratic papers have abused them and Republican payers have abused them. But the Fenians are by no means dead, and it is not improbable that they will hold the city politicians rigidly ac? countable at the next election. There is plenty of time to organize a Fenian party during the summer and to rim a Fenian ticket independent of all po? litical parties. Should this be done, as it probably will be, under tho lead? ership of Fernando and Benjamin Wood, the regular machines will be very badly smashed. A Fenian ticket would bo supported, not only by the Feniaus.but by all sympathisers with Fenianism, who luther outnumber the Fenians themselves. Thus the political leaders may be left without a corporal's guard, and the green banner may float in triumph over the City Hall. " GLAD OP IT. -One of the members of Congress elect from Mississippi, the Hon. A. M. West, is now ju Washington for the purpose of ob? taining a number of colored laborers to work on the Mississippi Central Railroad. He visited the Freedmen's Bureau, but was unable to obtain them, the Commissioner informing him that the power to send freedmen South had been taken away from the Bureau. Thc President is said to be opposed to any more of them being transported South, holding the opin? ion that there are plenty of them ^ow to meet all demands. A YELL FOR THE NEGRO. - -At a re? cent meeting of the citizens of Fine Bluff County, Arkansas, Gen. Yell offered resolutions declaring that they wished to be relieved from mor? bid feelings and insane ideas; that States have no right to secede; that the negroes should be allowed all eivil lights; that a stay law should be passed; that immigration should be favored. -, ^ ? ? . . _ A convention of Texas planters was held in Austin last week, to or? ganizo a joint stock companv, with a capital of *1,000,000, having for its object the importation of labor, and the sale of Texas lands to immigrants. The company has been fully organ? ized, and only awaits the sanction of tho Legislature and the granting ol tho requisite subsidies, to go into oper at i o ti Orceley on the Cmn? of Dlr. Davin. The House of Representatives yes? terday, on motion of Mr. Bon tyrell, of Massachusetts, bv a vote of 105 to 10, Resolved, As the opinion of the House of Representatives, that said Davis should be held in custody as a prisoner, and subjected to a trial, according t ) the laws of the land. There would seem to be no room for doubt as to the correctness of one proposition here given, since nil parties are agreed upon it. Tho House says Davis should be tried; his conn j sel say exactly tho sumo, and have ! been trying, ever since they were ; allowed to communicate with him, to ! get his ease before a judge and jury, j Thou why is he vol tried? Who stands > in the way? Judge Underwood held yesterday, j on un application for bail, that he was j a prisoner of war-therefore, not I bailable. The fact being assumed, ; the reason is conclusive. But how j long may a prisoner of wnv be held I after the war is officially declared at I an end"? Suppose one w ere held to ! day a prisoner of war. taken by Gen. j Jackson at New Orleans .in 1816, I would that suffice to bar his libera ! tion? But how and when did Davis be , come a prisoner of war? He was not I arrested as a public enemy, but as a : felon, officially charged in the face o? i thc civilized world with the foulest, ! most execrable guilt---flint of having I suborned ass:issins to murder Pr< Ji j dent Lincoln-a crime the basest and j most cowardly known to mankind. It was for this that $100,000 was of ! fered and paid for his arrest. Ant i the proclamation of Andrew Johnsen i and William H. Seward offering this i reward says his complicity witl j Wilkes Booth and company is estai? \ lished "by evidence now in thebureai of military justice.'' So there was nt I need of time to hunt it up. Others charged with that horrible ! deed have been arraigned, tried ; some of them long ago, acquitte* ! and set at liberty; others execute?: uud buried; others are now serving j out their ternis as convict prisoners i Why is this oue alone still awaiti nj ! trial, not even indicted? Is th? I charge of assassination abandoned Then it should be retracted as pub hely ?ts it was made. Is it persiste? in? Then why is he not tried ?>n ii ; Cati you imagine any creditable rea 1 son for leaving this mutter as it is? It has been asserted that Davis i 1 responsible tor tue death byexposnr ? ami famine of our captured soldiers ! and his official position gives plausi bility to the charge. Yet, vvhil : Henry Wir/., a miserable wretch, I mer?; tool of tools, was long ago ai raigued, tried, convicted, sentence' , and hanged for this crime, no charg has been officially preferred agaim Davis. So we presume none is tobt For eight or ten months he was nt j allowed to seo his wife or any memo? of his family, nor to communient ' with counsel save by open letters sei j through the War Department. .S j length the embargo is relaxed ami li i is simultaneously indicted for trei ? son. "Now," say his counsel, "\\ I shall get his ease into Court;" an j they attend at the very first sitting < i call it on. The Judge has no sen J pie about trying it-he is loyal, nj ? right ami fearless-there is no bus I ness in tho way-but the Governmei j conies limping in the second day an is not ready! No preparatmn hi j been made on that shh* anil the ca: has to go over! I Now, if thor?' be any reason form trying the case in Virginia, it is pe i fectly triable in Tennessee. There ample evidence that Jeff. Davis was j Murfreesboro, in lNfi'2, wielding ai I impelling thc rebel army of Tennesse ? Judge Trigg, of that district, is th ! roughly loyal; he holds court at lino ville, among a people as overwheh ingly loyal as Vermont. Why h j not an indictment been found ai ! tried in his court ? Who tum say? It has a very bad look, when a mi officially charged with tho vilest crii : known to men, is not even indict I therefor, but kept in close jail over year, without knowing on wi j charge; and when, at h-ugth, an i dictmcnt ts found against him I ? something totally different, he cai I get tried on that, but is held in ch. I jail, without boing allowed a chunco face his accusers. Iff should not li this sort of treatment; ami wo me to insist tin fair play for friends a : enemies alike. i Mimi, here is no question of mer i or lenity, since none has yet been : j licited. A prisoner accused td' he j ous crimes us ks to be-tried, and ! ! trial is shuffled ott', while he is kt ! in close jail a good way on his seco : year. Meantime, the belief gai ground that the whole business i: sham -that there is no intention i trying him-that he is indy held I a favorable time shah have come ! letting him ge, and, when his coi ! sel offer bail, they are told that Le I not a criminal, but a prisoner of w j And in thu South it is currently p claimed that the Government ?I ? not try him for treason, lest it j proven on trial that he was right, f ' the Unionists wrong, in our 1 struggle. The Government of tho Uni States cannot afford to bo thus con ing and fleeing before an allej ; ' criminal, it must come to the li<j Ii must dewhire on what charge li? held, for what crime ho is to be tri and when; why these hesitations. ; why his counsel have to bo coax ? : anti begging for a trial. I f he if ! be tried at all. he cannot be tried ; noon One year ago, Davis was the fallen j chief ol an utterly prostrate rebel - I lion. He was unpopular at the South and detested at tho North. It is very different now. He has fully regained ?all tb?, ljopnlarityhe ever had. Every I ex-rebel regards "Davis as suffering for him, and he wins sympathy outside of their circle. Another year of For- ; tress Monroe might make him popu- j lar at the North. For our own part, and ia behalf of some others who believe the true, sufficient bases of reconstruction to be universal amnesty and impartial i suffrage-these two and no more-we ! demand that this prisoner of war or , of State, or whatever ho may bo, 1 shall have tho full legal rights seen red ' to him by the Constitution and laws ' of the land. Believing that any ille? gal harshness to which he may be ex? posed tends to engonder new bitter? ness between North and South, aud to indispose the latter to accept con? ditions of reconciliation which we ! hold best for each and all, wo shall oppose it as at once a wrong and a blunder. Wo huvu f^till an open, se I nous controversy with those who in i sist on reconstituting our country on j a basis of caste and prejudice, and we ; cannot afford to give them tho ad \ vantage of truly representing us as ? making war on a folien, powerless : prisoTier of war or of peace, j [Are.r York Tribune, 12th. England AlxUcnti ??. One of the most surprising and important events of modern times, says the New York World, is the I voluntary surrender by Great Britain I of her position as one of the great j powers of Europe. Tho change ha^ ! been ao recent that its full signifi ! cauce is as yet hardly recognized in Europe, while on this side of the ocean we have failed to appreciate the important results likely to follow from the non-intervention, peace ' policy which England has determined to pursue hereafter. The best part j of the great debt of England w as created by the wars in which she en? gaged to uphold her position as a ; first-class power in Europe; but siue< j the close of the Crimean war, a I change of policy has been determined i upon at variance with all the trudi j tions of the nation. ; nd which, ii ? justified, eondems nearly all the wiu> she has undertaken for the last twe hundred years, and stamps thc na? tional debt as being a costly folly. The following extract from a lom. \ and able article in the London Satur I dat/ Review tells the story of Eng I land's willingness to give up a firs position in the deliberations of th? great powers of Europe: If war is to come, England mn% reckon confidently on keeping out ol i it. Sho will not only bo neutral, bu I the war will be of a kind that is ex ceediugly unlikely to raise any of tin ; difficult questions which sometime: involve neutrals in embarassxnent. I is scarcely probable that there shouh oven bea blockade, and all the com b?tants will want near home tho fev ships they have got, mid will no I come to create embarassment to th? j authorities of English ports. NO re , suit of the war is likely to afiect u j much, and we can afford to let th i Continental powers settle kow th map of Europe shall be remodelled j so far as it is likely to be altered ' This makes it very easy for us to 1> ' calm and impartial at this critic;; i time when war may break out an ! day, and any suggestions we ma 1 ofter have the recommendation i being disinterested, and of not bavin been dictated by hope or fear. Bu on the other hand, we cannot hop t > have much influence, and it is ver , much to be desired that our diplomi tisis may not have been preteiidii ! to have an influence which every on ; knows they have really not got. Tin ! we should do what we can for tl \ maintenance of peace is very righ and England has sufficient claims <J the attention of all the combatan , to invite them to consider with hi whether their differences eanuot 1 adjusted. But this is the utmo ! that she can ask, or that sim nee ! wish to ask. She is rapidly ceasii ! to bo a European power in thc sen , in which she was a European pow in the days of Wellington. She now au Asiatic power, a marat in ! power, an oceanic power, much mo ' than a European one. The allah's Burmah, of Affghan, of Nepaul, a of no more importance to her t'.i; the affairs of Wurtemhnrg, Hauov and Hesse-Cassel. To keep the ro; to India open through Egypt is 1 more necessary to her than to ins: i that this or that little Rhenish stron ' hohl ?hall not belong to France, ll ' chief iuterest in resisting the aggri sions of Russia on Constantinople not to protect the mouth of the JJ nube, or to neutralize the Euxiue, ! to help the Rayahs of Turkey, but : empress on the Mahomedan popu tions under her rule or adjacent her territories that her strength unbroken, and that she can rule tin i with a rod of iron if necessary. . makes exceedingly little difference ! us whether we are lightly spoken and our prestige is. pronounced to at an end in tho beer garden.'; of IS! nich and the cafes of Florence; 1 it is of vital moment to us that Lucknow and Peshawor we shot still be thought quite sure to win , a struggle, if a struggle is forced ns. We are rich, because wo tri I with every nation, and carry , goods of all the world.

One Enstis, delegated by certain of j the saintly hypocrites of New Eng-J land to visit New Orleans and est ab-* lish a Puritan synagogue, has re? turned to his people, and delivered his experience and the result of his labors. In langnago of unparalleled impu? dence and arrogance, he describes his advent into that benighted and mo? rally-blighted city, and the wonder? fully purifying effect of his teaobiugs. He can find nothing to liken it to except the smiting of the waters iv the creation, which divided the firma? ment from tho waters beneath. He (Eustis) and his colleagues touched that plague-spot of Southern heathen? ism, and lo! it was made whole all except the freedmen, for he narrates a foot which leads him to exclaim: "You soe, then, that thc freedmen sadly need instruction in New Or? leans." The fact alluded to was, that, with? in a stone's throw of his room, were two brokerage offices for supplying colored laborers ami other, -onekept by an agent of the Freedmen's Bu? reau, and a thoroughly "lojal ' man : the other by a rebel officer of high rank, who was "intensely disloyal, as all sach nu n are. "' And-here comes in the misery-the office of the "rebel c>flieer" was constantly thronged with colored people seeking employment, while that of the Federal agent wa shunned by them, as if there WHS something contaminating in "loyal' men. The freedmen of Now Orleans couldn't appreciate tho perfection claimed by this Connecticut saint am his loyal associates, and preferred ti entrust tin ir business matters to ai accursed "slave-driver." Oh! woe ii Eustis.
