James Stephene received an enthusiastic ovation from the Fenian Brotherhood at Jones’ Wood, New York, yesterday. There were aboat six thousand persons present, but none of the Roberts men were im attendance. Stephens made a forcible address; giving a history of the Fenian movement. He said he had but little money from this country, and the heartburnings and scandals here were sach as conid only be compeszsated by Irish libera- tion. They only wanted money. ireland had done ten timesas much as America in that way. IfGreat Britain had become engaged in the Danish wor it was their purpose to bave taken up arms. After Stephens’ address Lieut. Colonel Downy addressed the 9th regiment which was drawn up in frent of the platform, reflecting severely on the order of General Sanford countermandimg tke order for the parade of the regiment as an encroachment upon the privileges of the commandants of the regiments of the National Guards. Mayor Monroe was imaugerated with in- ‘teresting ceremonies at New Orleans Monday. The gencrous reception which he met from the President, and all the mayors Nerth and Weet, 4s very gratifying to the propie of that city, sand has created a good feeling. The delegates to the eet Con vention, to be held in that city to-day, are arriving. The people of Texas aze contributing for the family of Albert Sic- ney Johnson, who are in waat in California Dr. Gwin has been released trom Fort Jack- son A suit was commenced Monday by John M Wray, of Roxbury, Mass., claiming S30,K0 damages from John L. Dame and four other persons, whom he charges with inflicting injuries and indignities upon his person, as leaders of 4 mob who surrounde? his house on the night of the17th of April, 1865. The affair seas to have originated from doubts of Mr. ray’s loyalty, and he was compelled to nail & flag to his house and make a loyal speech, after being considerably hustled about. TLe galeof Sunday was very severe North The new engine-house at Whitehall, N. Y, was blown down covering up four engines. The root of the Fort William Henry Hotel was blown off, and the steamer Minnehaha broke from her mooringsand was blows out into the lake, with the loss of her hurricane deck, and other damage. At Saratoga Springs trees were blown down, and several chimneys were blown over at Baliston. Itis understood that the surgeon at Fortress Monroe has complied with the instraction of President Johnson to furnish @ speciai repor: upon the physical condition of Jeff. Davis. The nature of the report has not been made known, but there is reason to believe that it does not speak in very hopeful terms of his condition, and urges @ less rigid system of confinement if his restoration to perfect health is at all desired. Numbers of suspicious looking characters, supposed to be Fenians, have been noticed for several days past going east on the railroad between St. John, New Brunswiek, and Shed- Jac. Their destination is supposed to be Prince Edward's Island, which, it 1s asserted, is to be & grand Fenian rendezvous. The supposed Fenians are quiet in their deportment, ving very much the appearance aud manners of those lately in Eas’ ¥ The tenement buildings on Fourth and Bul- litt streets, Louisviile, Ky.. were burned Mon- day morning. Loss $53,000; insurance £23,300. principally, in home companies. A fire was raging the same evening in the premises of George Probstan, plumber, in Market street. The total destruetion of his establishment and the contiguous building was feared. Adviees from Mexico confirm the death of ex-Governor Allen, of Louisiana. The af- fairs of the empire are quiet. Maximiilian bas returned from a flattering tour to Cornavia. The French troops are concentrating in North. ern Mexico, under General Denop, to unite with General Mejia, and hai dispersed the guerrillas. The Liberals elsewhere were dis- comfitted. “Gloomy accounts are being received from the Red river. Most of the river cotton lands are under water. The cotton reperts from the Southwest are also of a gloomy character. Tornadoes have made fearfui havoc with all the crops. A fire Monday night destroyed the Lynne Block and old Saltonstall school-house at Salem, Mass. The East Inaia Marine Hall! building was greatly damaged, put a valuable collection of curiosities were saved. The loss is estimated at $75,104, mostly insured. By fire at North Ragallin, Vt, Monday night the house of Mr. Burbank was destroyed, and himself, daughter and another young ay perished in the flames. The barn, containing a large number of cattle, was also consumed. R. T. Armstrong, formerly of Chay pel, is, Bunce & Co.,of Cincinnati, was killed at Kentucky, on Saturday, by a man named Merriwell. A special to the Cincinnati Commercial, dated New Orleans, 13th. says one white Person and five negroes were burned to death at a fire on New Levee street, on Saturday night. The license bill legalizing liquor selling in Massachusetts was defeated in the House yes- terday by a vote of 146 to 49. There were seven deaths by suicide in Cin- cinnati last week. CONGRESSIONAL. SENATE.—Yesterdsy afternoon— Un motion of Mr. Chandler. the jeipt resolu. tion to prevent the importation of cholera into the ports of the United States was taken ap and amendments offered by Messrs. Hender- son and Edmunds were agreed to, makirig the joint resolution to read as follows: Resolved, &c., That the Secretary of the Treasury be, and he hereby is, authorized two make and carry into effect such orders and regulations of quarantine as in his Opinion may be deemed necessary and Y sec nd in aid of State or municipal authori to guard against the mtroduction of cholera into the orts of the United States; and the Secretary is further authorized to direct revenue officers commanding revenue cutters to aid in the ex- ecution of the Proper quarantine, and also in the execution of the health laws of such States respectively as nyt seem ne; ; and for the carrying out of this provision such sums leg: mopeseind. = are ne : Provided, at the authority here given shail expire —— rem 6 in prok peek, praee joint resolution was then passed above form. =e After a short executive session the Senate adjourned.

First. From tbe best information whch I Bave been able to obtain, I do not consider the establishment of 2 State Government at present necessary for the welfare of the people in Colorado. Under the existing Termterial Government all the rights, privileges and in- terests of the citizens are protected and secured. The qualified voters choose their own legis- tors, and their own locai officers, aa@ are represented in Congress by a delegate of their own selection. They make and execute their own municipal iaws, subject only to re- vision of Congress, an authority not hkely to be exercised. unless in extreme or extraor- dinary cases. The population is small, some estimating lt so lowas twenty-five thousand, while advocates of the bill reckon the pamber at from thirty-five thousand to forty thousand souls. The people are principally recent settlers, many of whom are understood to be ready for removal to other mining districts beyond the limits of the Territory, :f cireum- . stances shall render them more inviting Such a population cannot bat fiad re- Niet from é¢xcessive taxation if the terri- torial system, which devolves the expenses‘of the executive, legislative and judicial depart- ments upon the United States, is for the pres- ent continued. They cannot but find —~t—4 curity of person and property increased their’ reltinee upon the cational executive power forthe maintenance of law and order against the disturbances necessarily incident to all newly orgacized communities. Second. It is not satisfactorily established that a majority of the citizens of Uolorado desire or are prepared for an exchange of a territorial for a State government. in Sep- tember, 1864, under the authority of an election was lawfully appointed and heid fer the purpose of ascertaining the views of the people upon that particular question. Six thousand one hundred and ninety- two votes were cast, and of this number a majority of 3,152 was given against the pro- posed change. 1n September. ‘65, without any legal authority, the question was again pre- sented to the people of the Territory with the view of obtaining a reconsideration of the re- sult of the election beld in compliance with the act of Congress, approved March 21, 1863. At this second election 5,905 votes were polled, and a majority of 155 was given in favor of @ State organization. It does not <re; to me entirely sate to receive last mentioned result, so irregularly obtained as sufficient to outweigh the one which had been legaily obtained in the first election.

The admission of Colorado, at this time, as a State — the a ae Union, pears to me to incom pati! with the Peblie interests of the country. While it is desired that Territories sufficiently matured should be organized as States, yet the spirit of the Constitution seems to require that there should be an approximation towards equality among the several States compris: the Union. No State can have more than Senators in Congress; the ‘State hasa ulation of four millions, several of the taies havea population exceeding two mil- lions, and many others have a population ex- ceeding one million.
