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

j And in thu South it is currently p
claimed that the Government ?I
? not try him for treason, lest it

' the Unionists wrong, in our 1
struggle.
The Government of tho Uni
States cannot afford to bo thus con

; 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

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%

I the war will be of a kind that is ex

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

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

A Reverend tteformcr's Experte nee. !
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
