He was oppored to restoring the Noadecs of the rebellion to yoliti- cal power. The House of Representatives of Virginia bas reconsidered the vote passing the Senate billamending the usury law.

SENATE.— Yesterday afternoon— Mr. Dixon’s address m snpport of the Presi- dent was an able effort, and was listened to with interest. Speaking of the two great sys- tems of policy with regard to reconstruction and reunion on which the minds of the people ofthis country are te-day divided, he said: “One of these systems, known, by way of dis- tinction, as thet of the President, is indicated in the words which I have cited from his veto message. It contemplates a careful, cautions, discriminating admission of a loyal representation trom loyal States and districts in the appropriate House ot Congress, by the separate action of each, every case to be con- sidered by itself and decided by its own merits. lt recognizes the right of every loyal State and district tobe represented by loyal men in Con- gress. It draws the true line of distinction be- tween traitors and trae men. It furnishes to the States lately in rebellion the strongest pos- sible inducement to loyalty and fidelity to the Government. It “makes treason odious,” by showing that while the traitor and the rebel are excluded from Congress. the loyal and faithful are cordially received. It recognizes and rewards loyalty wherever it is found, and inguishes it, as it ought, between a Horace ard and a Jefferson Dayis. «What is the other policy! 1t eontemplates the entire exclusion of representation in either House of Congress from any State lately in rebellion, irrespective of its present loyalty, or the character of its people, until the adop- tion ot certain measures not definitely stated, whose advocates agree neither as to the measures proposed nor inthe reasons given for their support—this exclusion to continue for an indefinite and unjimited period of time, declared by some to be for five years, by some thirty years,and by some in a certain Ccontin- gency forerer, the entire region comprised Within the thir seceding States, including io be held meanwhile as conquered nd to be governed as subject pro- vinces by the central power, and the people thereof, to be raised as vassals, liable and sub- ject necesarily at all times to’ taxation, while thus wholly deprived of representation and of every right of self-covernment. “Believing the first named policy to be, as has been conclasively proved by the distin- guished S r from Wisconsin, that of Presi- dent] nd that in adopting it President Johnson has but foliowed in the path of his predecessor, and believing that this policy is but a continuation of the great-stragele in de- fence of the noble cause of the Union, for which Abraham Lincoin and all his martyred brethren died, 1 declare my confident trust that the people wili support and uphold A Johnson in im its advocacy and de- fence, a- in the darkest days of the war they supported and upheld Abraham Lincoln.” After our report closed yesterday, s further debate on the Coustitutional amendment, after which— ndegee offered a preamble setting forth ‘ution of the Emperor Napoleon as to tbe withdrawal of troops from Mexico, and concluding with @ resolution, that in the judgment of Congress, the einployment of French troops in Mexico for farther conquest would be in violation of the plighted faith of France. The resolution was referred to the committee on Foreign Affairs, see Henry A Wise vs. Fernando Wood. ‘The Richmond Enquirer publishes the iext of certain letters between ex-Governor Wise, ot Virginia, and ex-Mayor Wood of New York. The former asks:—“Can you inform me, then, why (the war having ceased) peace has not been proclaimed! Why the writ of habeas corpus bas not been restored! Why civil juris- diction has not been Allowed to take cognizance of all cases belonging to the courts of law and equity under the Constitution! Is the war power to continue after war itself has ceased ! Are armsto be employed still long after the ordinary process of the judicial tribunals can be executed? Are the civil laws to be continued suspended! Are original and so.ereign States to be provincialized and “territorialized!” Is the Constiution of the United States itselt to re- main suspended until some power or other can or shall form a new National Govern- T latter replies, February 19, that «the States are Republican, but not the Federal Union,” and pertinently contradicts Gover~- nor hee pasition about Stale sovereignty. saying :-—“T wo sovereign powers cannot exist within the same Government. If sovereignty was retained by the States it could not have been imparted to the Federal authority. Op- posite views as to the relative strength of these authorities have existed ever since. Now what follows! State sovereignty being dead, unity follows. The people of the whole Union are one, and the majority is that one.” Mr. Wood then enters into an elaborate argument which gives rather cold comfort to Wise, and civilly imtumating that he (Wood) is now a Union man, and that Wise had better become one also &s soon as he can, He tells him:—The South bas not lost auy substantial right by the war. Ithas gained much. Lam aware that there are positions assumed and declarations made in this letter which may render me liable to the charge of inconsistency. 1 was opposed to the war for the reasons you so truthtally state, and because I thought the Union could be maintained without bloodshed— that the question at issue was susceptible of amicable adjustment, ind becanse I saw that the South would be vanquished and overpowered and reduced to a state of subjugated dependence. This is now over. Slavery has been abolished; the war is ended. The great questions which made is- sues between political es have ceased, and a new and enurely difterentorder of public af- fairs have ensued. My desire is that we shall realize this change and conform to it. It is folly to fight over the dead past, when the live present and the great future opens so brightly and beautifully before. 1 want America to fill her mission. She is the fixed corner-stone of universal liberty throughout the world. With this principle laid deep and broad in our own institutions it should be our aim to extend it to those oppressed elsewhere, until despotism ceuses, not only on this continent, but through- out the civilized universe ®B7-Some workmen in St. Louis. while en- larging a beer vault, discovered an immense eave, about one thousand feet long, extending from Seventh street westward, under the or- churd of Dr. Nicolas Demenil, who owns the ground and residence on the place. The cave is from forty-five to sixty-feet wide, and from ten to twelve feet high, and is perfectly ary. The ceiling is slightly arched, uniform, and as smooth as a plasterer could make it. The side walls are straight, and the floor is as smooth and level as a common floor. eo ee ts A_ CAREFUL CONGRESSMAN.—There is a member of Congress from one of the New Eng- land States whois so fearfal of committing himself, he declines to give an opinion upon the most seven Lag The other day be was accosted fami ‘ly a fmend who said inquiringly, “We are Tiket pleasant spell of weather?” a Sonae coach, “I can; F m some TF member of Congress Lam.”—Beston Commercial. iia: SF-Voa) has fallen $3 a ton withi two days at Providence and Seo 63 Deferred Locals. ———— Corporation Affairs.

The breach of the act of July 19th, 1-62, is not in the occupancy or the pur- pose tor which it is occupied. Itis in the erec- tion of such a building within thirty feet of a dwelling houge, and the person who erected the building would be liable for the penalty, notwithstanding such permission was granted to Mr. Broderick. Besides, the whole neigh- borhood, with the exception of one person, an that one the tenant of the person who erected and owns the building proposed to be occupied by Mr. Broderick asa blacksmith shop, pro- test against its being so ocenpied {The act of July 19, 1962, referred to by the Mayor, pro- hibits the erection of a frame structure within twenty-four feet of a brick building.)

(On Monday night, in response to a call pub- isbed in the Star, Odd Fellows’ Hall was crowded with the Fenian Brotherhood of me Roberts stripe. The meeting was called ander be auspi of the “Washington Constitution- 8! Circle,” and the platform was decorawd with the American flag at the footlight, and the splendid banner presented to the Circle some ‘ume ago by the Fenian Sisterhood was dis- played behind the President's table. The crowd bgan w assemble at an early hour, and the body of the hall was soon filica with men, while in front, near the platform, a num- ber of seats were occupied by ladies The meeting was presided over by Mr. James Ryan, District Center of D. C., who introduced to the meeting Mr. W. J. Hynes, secretary of the Fenian Senate just adjourned at Pittsburg. Mr. Hynes remarked that the large audience assembied on so chorta notice, spoke well for the timent of the people of the National Cap in favor of his suffering country. In October last every pound sent to Ireland would beve been 4 rifie in the hands of an Irish sol- doer, but there was a power that would not let it pass from us to them. Mr. H. reviewed briefly recent events, and remarked that with- out holding one man responsible be would here declare that the man or men who stood between as and Ireland's supplies were re- sponsible for the first failure of the Fenian Krotherhoed. Let thie and tuture generanons ppay them. They should be condemned to so- i and political perdition. There are two Propositions before the Fenian Brotherhood, to send an expedition direct to Ireland from New York or some other United States port. He was opposed to this plan and referred to the recent case of the Chilian privateer and the eto keep secret other expeditions long ugh to enable them to leave the const. This is impossible. International law and a of English detectives forbid it, In this disheartening aspect the question arises—How can we reach England and ¢ the blows that will force her to rejease Nature bas furnished ate open upen the con the Western Continent, and between us ond that there is only an imaginary boundary tine, so indefinite that to tind 1 you would have to carry a tape line, and no Irish- man will beso particular as that To enter the Briush possessions and secure them it would require 440 men with experienced of- ficers, and this force could not be successtully resisted by @ Janadians. Mr. H. would be ing to take the entire territory of Hndson’s Bay Company and make it responsible for the Fenian bonds, and before two months belligerent rights would be recog- nized. He then alluded to the prospect of aid from privateers, and quoted the remark of Minister Adsins to Earl Russell—that two or three Conted ers swept American commerce fre cean, and to that extent increased Brite amerce. The effect of a squadron Of privateers of the Fenians will be ihe same in reference to British commerce, and ould virtually secure the alliance of the Uni- d States. We cannot afford to lose the eo- operation of the organization in Ireland. The privateers Would draw the British war ships from the Irish coast to wal them here, and there will be the chance to reach lreland, and sable her to burst her bonds if necessary’ but Mr. H. believes that by the course indicated nd can be freed witho a blow on ber We would prey npon their commerce— it is England's vital pomt Such a blow will inaugurate revolution in England. Let the commoners of England see the chance, and they will strike for their rights: and Mr. H. w t dom of ire- = by the flow Nome huimanita s think the pomtof attack is Car They don’t know nything xbout it. For all they know. or the people here know. the point of concentration may be Mexico. When England found she could not subdue the Irish people she thought a best to rid herself of them. The Darham e and Scotch sheep were less refractory » the Irish, and the policy of England 4 the imi@icration to this country of three iilion Irish in twenty years. Engiand then helped to bring about 4 war, and that war hus -erved toeducate the Irish for vengeance upon their aggressors. Mr. H. then appealea to the people to contribute of their means, time and energies to this cause. Itis not simply the cause of Ireiand against England, but of republicanism against archy, of liberty aguinst despotism. This speaker was fre- quently applauded. ‘Ihe ‘President noticed the Hon. Mr. Van Horn, of Missouri, in the room, and called him to the platform. Mr. Van Horn said he came to listen to his teliow-townsman, Mr. Morrison, who is to address the meeting. He avowed his sympathy for them, although untc Tiunately he is not a genuine Inshman, only being Irish in the second degree. While his ancestors generally Were of a different nationality, yet he could say Irishman. [Laughter and applause.) Mr. V. remarked that if members of the British Parliament could contribute to the Confederate loan, he could see no reason why a member of Congress might not appear and speak ata Fenian meeting. Mr. Morrison was next introduced. The broken towers of Erin, he said, are not to be rebuilt over champagne bottles and popping corks, but by the popping of rifle buliews.

He could tell where it will be held, but feared the people would not keep tbe secret; but it will be in a place where the members can ‘without weiting their feet. {Applause.} T. M. said there existed at one ume @ need for qualified men to lead the armies ot Ireland: but the experience of the recent war bas furnished these. He proceeded to describe the rise of “Fighting Tom Sweeny” from the ranks at Churubusco to his present 1t0n as General of the Fenian army. Sweeny entered the American army eighteen years ago to learn how to fight England, and now he lays his sword at the altar. Ip all the Fenian meetings no plan was submitied anul Thursday or Friday lat, when Sweeny produced a plan, which was sub- mitred to & committee of 4 men, nine-tenths of whom were officers of the late American army. They reported it feasible and practicable, and urged its adoption. Ifany man wants to send ar expedition direct to Preland we will not in- terfere. But will any obgect to reaching free Ireland from another Peate? Mr. M. said that President Roberts at the Congress contributed $5,000, and m less time than he bad been speaking, $20,000 was contributed by the mem- bers of Congress nd $100,000 was guaranteed to be paid within two weeks President Roberts proposed to give $25,000, 2ud resign to ¢0 in the ranks, Bet bis offer was refased. There had been some talk of changing the headquarters from New York city. ltwas Mentioned to Roberts, who said it was unneces- ‘ary how, fer 4&5 soon as the flag floats over our army, be will remove his headquarters to the field. Mr. M. said the first stroke of the campaign isin Washington. it was proper in the capital of this great Repubhe we begin to_work to establish one elsewhere. Mr. M. was frequentiy applaude?, and Pro- ceeded to solicit contributions. He was glad of their cheers, it indicated their approva! of what he said. But how much du you approve?
