A (Havana letter reports the arrival on the Sth of the French transport Jura, with troops enrouteto France. The same letter contra- dicts,on authority, the statement that Mr. Seward had an interview there with an aid of Maximilian. The writer believes no such per- son has been in Havana. Governor Patton, of Alabama, has issued a proclamation, granting amnesty and pardon to all persons liable to be indicted for offences against the laws of the State, (the crimes of rape and murder excepted) between the com- mencement of hostiliues and the restoration of civil government. The Baton Rouge Advocate says that not one- third of the cultivable land in that section and along the coast in the immediate neighborhood had been putin cotton this year. There will not be as many acres planted in the East and West Baton Kouge parishes this year as last season, for the want of labor. Hon. Albert H.

SP Strange stories continue to come from th oll regions. The last one is to the effect that during & conflagration at Pithole last week, the firemen discovered that they were pouring oil instead of water on the flames. Investigation proved that the water had been exhausted in the well from which they were pumping, and apure stream of oil was coming instead. Of course the fire was left to burn itself out, while an apparatus for receiving the precious fluid placed at the new well, which at the br a reports was yielding a hundred barrels a ay. —_—_—_—_—_—_———__ LEAGUE Is anD.—Messrs, Darling, Le Blond Eldridge, Phelps, Brandegee, and Kelly, of the Honse Naval Committee, and Capt.

Great Fenian Demonstration. CBOR¢ CANCIS TRAIN IN THE CHAIR, AND SPLECBES BY CONGRESSMEN KOGERS, OF N. J. HOGAN, OF MO.. AND OTHERS—THE MON- ROE DOCTRINE A SWINDLY. On Saturday evening, Seaton Hall, corner of Ninth and D streets, was crowded in every part by Fenians and their friends, among the number a delegation of the Feninn Sisterhood and several members of Congress. Numbers were unable to gain admittance to the hall. ‘The meeting was for the purpose of taking some action in relation to the outrages Tecently committed on American citizens traveling in England and Ireland, by the Government of Great Britain. Over the stage the national colors were suspended, while on one side was the green flag of Ireland, with the harp and shamrock in the center, beneath which was the Word “ Erin.” and on the opposite side the fine banner of Georgetown Circle, F. B., hay- ing the “glorious sunburst” in the center. In pode eed a = band of music was stationed, uring the eyenin; vorite ine rea & performed tavo: At? o'clock the meeting was called to or- der, and in the absence of District Center Ou- lahan, George Francis Tram was called to the chair. Mr. Train was attired in his customary dark blue coat, with brass buttons; looked as wide awake as ever, and rather ‘astonished some of the F. B. who had never heard him before, by his sledge-hammer style of elo- quence. On taking the chair, after returning thanks for the honor, he spoke of this inimense meet. ing having been brought together ai four hours" notice, And he noticed present above tw ty members of Congress and other prominent persons. He spoke of the times of 1776, up to which England had taxed us fast as the country was improved, unti! at Last, after King George had been asked for representa- tion, he answered by imposing heavier taxes. Then overboard went the tea «nd ap went the flag. [Uproarious applause.) We whipped her then, and in 1812 they thought to impres« our smlors and again insulted us, when she was chastised again. Since they have at- tacked us throngh the newspapers. What we now demand is that American citizens shall be respected everywhere. [Appiause. America was but a child then, but was too grand for old England and she kicked her out of the country. Jeg speaker illustrated the kicking process by such a vigorous gesture that there was long conunued laughter and ap- pluuse } In j*i2, this country, then buta boy su again kicked her out [another kick by the speaker at the retreating form of an imaginary lion, which brought dowr the house.| They then introduced a system to act on as—Exeter Hall for the Republican party, and Free Trade Hall for the Democratic party—and American polttics have been ruled by these institutions— not astatesman in this country since “76 being bold enough to adopt an American platform until the Fenian platform was formed. The speaker then introduced Major D. J. Toohy, who addressed the meeting. and called their attention to the great Amer- jean doctrine that an American citizen shall travel where he pleases and shall not be im- prisoned. He instanced the well-known Mar- tin Kosta case, during Fillmore’s administra- tion, and the correspondence which followed between the Chevalier Hulseman and the great American statesman Daniel Webster, [ap- plause,} in which the doctrine that the Amer- ican flag protects the American citizen, even if he had only declared his intentions, was enun- ciated. The time had come when action should betaken. The British lion had placed her heel Om citizens—some of whom have left their blood on this —because they dared to step on what is there led English ground, but what is in reality Lrieh soil. Major Toohy here read a letter from. Captain Michael O'Boyle, 69th New York regiment, dated Jan. 7, isé6, Kelmainham jail, Dadlin, (bad luck to it,) in which he states that he has been & prisoner gearly four months: that he had appealed to le Minister. Charles Francis Adams, for relief, bnt he declined to interfere. Major Tooby said here is a mau who is still # soldier, and who had stood at the point of the bayonet in the late conflict, and in case the American authorities abroad tail to throw the hecessary protection around such men, they will ask President Johnson to interfere. Ma) Touhy here read correspondence between Mr. John McCafterty, who is confined in the county il, Cork, and Mr. E.S. Eastman, 1. S. Con. sul at Queenstown, and Bejamin Moran. Se. ry ot Li tion at London: and after read- T, Mujor Toohy offered resolutions censurmg Mr. Eastman and Hon. Chas. Fran- cis Adams for their action in regard to Mr. McCafferty’s case. Adopted. At the ‘conclusion of the reading, Major Tooby said: The Minister of the U.S. at tue Court of St. James has the face to accuse men of treason, saymg in his letter to McCafterty, the taint of treason is still about you so strong- ly that it is no matier for just surprise to find you tracked by it, even ina foreign country, in which the political atmosphere also partakes of it. He rebukes 200,00 Irishmen who have tought under this banner, because they mean to attempt to make Ireland what America is. As an American Mr. McCafferty went to Europe, having taken the amnesty oath, and yer rles Francis Adams, who eats Engli<h beef and entertains or is nny gs to entertain American sentiments, says he cannot be ab- solved. Major Toohy offered a resolution censuri: the course of the Minister, and asking the Exe. cutive toensure to American citszens abroad the proper protection: adopted. In taking the question on these resolutions there was an overwhelming “Aye.” When the negative was called there were two or three teeble responses of “No.” The Chairman said he perceiyed there were one or two Englishmen here. [Cries of “Put them out.”} No; let them remain. There Were known to be two or three hundred English spies, who tracked the Brotherhood from city to city. Let them report to England that this meeting gathered here on four hours’ notice. Mr. Train proeeeded to speak of Minister Adams hob-nobbing to Palmerston and Rus- sell, instead of attending a dinner given by lis countrymen in honor of the 4th of July. While he (the speaker) was upholding the Union cause in the lecture halls of Great Britain, our Minister was doing the agreeable with Lord Russell. Mr. Train here gaye a dramatic representa- tion of the interview between Lord Ruse «and Minister Adams, showing the interchange of bows and compliments, which was greeted with shouts jJanghter, and then offered a resoluuion demanding the immediate recall of Mr. Adams as the representative of the United States at the Court of St. James; which was adopted unanimogsly. B. Doran Killian, Secretary of the Treasury, FP. B., was next introdueed, ‘and stated that he had been depnted by one of the largest meet- ings ever held in the city of New York to ad- dress the people here on this enbject, and re- terring to the condition of American citizens in ireland, who were in prison, he said that there Was some guilt, and asked where it rested, an- *swering with Charles Francis Adams. He spoke at some length, and was followed by Hon. John Ho; » of Mo, who, referring to the sorrows and pains endured by lreland— the lund in which by accident he was bora— said, British oppression has borne down so heavily upon her as to force her sons and daughters to finda home anywhere except in the land which gave them birth. To have free- dom they have gone to all the nations where it might be enjoyed—have expatriated Ireland for America. In the Congress which gave two the nation the of Independence, Irishmen and their sons predominated, and during the war of the revolution they were in the ranks, and from that day to this there has been no occasion when Irishmen have been unwilling to spill their hearts blood for the cAuse of the banner which gave them freedom. hey are ready still to vindicate it, and the time will not come when they will fail to vin- cheate their rights. irish ers now in their cabins at home, look to the little ones and thank God that there isa free home beyond the waters.
