By Tolograpii. News Items. NEW YOU*, December IL-Tho Herald's Dublin correspondent chronicles the se? rious aspect which thc Fenian agitation maintained'. Ireland on the 2Sth of No? vember*. The English Government offers a roward of ?5,000 for tho body of Janies Stephens, dead or alive." The recent decreohy tho Juarez Govern-, ment, declaring forfeited the grant to tho Louisiana Company by Maximilian for a raailroad Across Tehauntepec, and grant? ing liko franchise to the transit company, attracts much attention, and especially from tho fact that Caleb Cushing has givoii an opinion in favor of the latter, regarding tho action of President Juarez as final and conclusive. MONTREAL, December H.-All tho mem? bers of the Executive Council, with tho exception of D'Arcy McGee, left for Otto wa this morning. They positively assert that tho reprieve granted to tho Fenians is not accompanied with any hope for their ultimate pardon, so long as the Feuiaus menace Canada with another invasion. Congres? lona I. WASHINGTON. December ll.-In the Se? nate, petitions wero introduced and re? ferred-among thom, one from the Now York Underwriters, for an appropriation to remove tho wreck of the steamer Scotland. Mr. Wade, from tho Committee on Terri? tories, reported thc bill introduced yester? day for the admission of Colorado. Mr. Fessendon said the tariff bill had been referred to tho Finance Committee last session, with instructionb to report on tho second Monday in December. Tho | committee had not yet hn a time to consider this bill, but would do PO at an carly day. At 12.36, tho bill f.?r negro suffrage" in this District was tal.cn up. Tho question was upon tho amendment of Mr. Cowan, to strike ont GK. word male, so as to grant the suffrage lo both sexes. Mr. Anthony advocated tho amendment. Mr. Williams i Bpoke in favor of the bill and against Mr. Cowan's amendment. Thc debate is still progressing. In the House, Mr. Kelly presented the ] memorial of the Central Republican Com? mittee, of Louisiana: referred to tho Com? mittee on Reconstruction. Tho House | passod tho bill regulating tho duties of their clerk, requiring him to insert in tho roll of members only thc names of those from States represented in the next pre? ceding Congress, as preliminary to organ? ization. Mr. Kelly reported a bill to punish for counting fraudulent electoral votes. Tho consideration of the preamble assert- | ing that the late insurrectionary States can bo restored to representation only by tho law-making power is postponed. The debate continued, and-was not ended, on tho suffrage bill, up to adjournment. Mr. Stevens made a speech on the bill to repeal the statute of limitations with re? gard to treason and capital offences. Mr. Stevens opposed tho bill, contending that tho crime of treason was one which most required to bo quieted by time. The of? fence was continuous, until a peace pro- ! clamation was issued. None such bad been I issued. He understood that the man at the other end of the avenue had issued some pieces of paper, but hu did not re? gard them as proclamations of peace. Those who rebelled against the Govern? ment should be punished as captives. No action on tho bill. The House consumed 1 the remainder of the day in thc considera? tion of the bill regulating appointments and removal from office. The President sent to the House papers relative to ex Confederate General Pickett's application for pardon. It appears that Advocate Genoral Holt recommended that Pickett be put on trial on the charge of having murdered twenty-two Union prisoners of war, but the Secretary of War decli" ~d to do so, on the ground of the Supreme court having decided against military tribunals trying such cases. Pickett addressed a letter to the President, asking for amnesty, and oue to Grant, asking his favorable con? sideration, and explaining the circum? stances under which tho men were exe? cuted. Ho was simply acting as the Gene? ral commanding the Department, and tho same was sanctioned by his Government. Grant made au endorsement on the letter to the President, with recommendations of clemency, or that assurance be given that no trial take place for offences charged against Pickett. Grant says, during the rebellion, belligerent rights were acknow? ledged to the enemies of our country, and it is clear to mo that the parole given by tho armies, laying down their arms, pro? tects them against punishment for acts lawful for any other belligerent. The pun? ishment of the men was a harsh ono. but it was in time of war, when the enemy no doubt felt it necessary to retain, by some power, the services of every mau within their reach. Gen. Pickett, I know person? ally, to be an honorable man;! but in this case, his judgment prompted him to do what cannot well bo sustained, though I do not see how good, either to tho friends of tho deceased, or by fixing au examplo for the future, can be secured by bia trial now. It would only open up tho question whothor or not the Government did not disregard ita contract entered into io ot cure the surrender of au armed enemy. Cable Denjmtclics. LONDON, December 10.-Gladstone ia ex? pected to return he-e at the beginning of January. Tho ex-King of Hanover, will, it Ls believed, alao arrive here at thc same time, but only on a private visit. Hia Ma" jesty will continuo to resido on the Conti? nent. Tho Cabinet council has not como to any definite decision with reference to reform. Several Ministers aro opposed to any kind of a roform bill, and others, again, advocate the introduction of a bill, but under the reserve that no debt shall ensue thereupon until the session of 1SG8. Stanly and Russell aro in favor of moro liberal measures of reform than aro pro? posed by the Russell Cabinet. Derby and Stafford, of Northcole, are among those who consider that the ouestion of reform should be p08tponed. FLORENCE, December 10.-Signor For dello is gone to Rome on a mission from the Italian Government, in place of M. Vegegzer. Tho King will open Parliament on tho 15th. His speech is awaited with great interest, as he will probablv speak of evacuation of Romo and the negotiations with the Popo. DUBLIN, December 10.-A largo number of Irishmen propose to goto Rome, to bo enrolled in Gio Roman Zouaves. ROME, December 10.-An Austrian man of-war ia expected shortly to arrive at Civita Vecchia.
