Loypon, March 6 —The Fenians have torn up the rails ard blocked up the roads between Cork and Dublin, completely suspending rail- way travel between those cities. The(overn- ment does not feel any alarm at the aspect of affairs, as very efficient measures have been made and are now making to suppress all ai- tempts at insurrection throughout Ireland. There have been as yet no serious ontrages committed by the Fenians upon either the per- sons or property of private subjects, the repels appearing to beim a quasi state of strict mili- tary discipline. At four o'clock this evening reports received at Government headquarters state that “all is quiet.” Lonpon, March 6—Evening.—The Fenian agitation in Ireland bas been renewed, and is increasing. A meeting of several huadred irishbmen near Dublin bad been dispersed by the troops. The telegraph wires have been cutin various parts of the country.

Daring the debate on the continuation of the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus in Ire. land, Major Stuart Kmox urged the suspension for one year. and charged Mr. Bright with rateing false bopes in the minds of the Lrish people. Mr. Bright repelled the charge, and denounced the aangerous and pernicious system of making arrests on mere suspicion. Lord Naas warned Lrishmen to beware of the er ee of selfish wire-pullers in New fork.

The United States has also something to say about the matter and the proposition of Mis- Sissippi is made conditional on the ratification of the Congress of the United States. As the State governments of the two parties tothe prepcees exchange are not exactiy recognized yy Congress, the trade will probably fall through for the present, and the alligatorsand mud turties thut people these islands wili have to continae their alliance to their re- spective State governments, Env oF ANoTHED Girt ENTeRrrisE.—The Baltimore Sun of thie morning says: The soperific “gift” affair at Front Street Theatre lathered ttself ont last evening, and thousands of deluded ticket-holders realize that their great expectations were but in- bumerable soap-bubbles, which have floated way into thin err, It was announced thata Mrs. Bowen bad won the “capital prize” of a gravd piano—a poor consolation to those un- happy beings to whom buckles, cheap trink- ete, white metal goblets, cream soap, &c., were turned out.

STATISTICS OF THE JKSUITS.—Tne Jesuits according to their custom, have published the annual statisiics of their society. The ¢om- pany reckoned at the ciose of 1866, four con- sistories and twenty provipees; the number of members being §,:67, showing an augumenta- tion of 245 over the year 1965. In the French province there are 2,422, whereas in 1965 there were only 2,266. Notwithstanding their ex- pulsion from Naples, Sicily, Turin. Venetia, and the Mexican empire, they are incessantly increasing im number. S7-A Frenchman has compiled statistics which show that but litue over a quarter as many women are struck by lightning as men. Thai when a man and woman are walking to- gether, the man is invariably the sufferer. S7'The colored question is always before the country, judicialiy, politically or. other- wise. The latest pace is the suit of a colored lady in Philade! a, who prosecuted a city reges conductor for ejecting her from the cars. 7 A man in Stone Creek township, Ohio. re- ceived such & blow from his wife a few days ago, ys hr wo aad’ beer CONGRESSIONAL. HovusE.—Yesterday aiternoon— The impeachment resolutions introduced by Mr. Ashley, being under consideration, ne addressed the House at some length thereon, saying: Sir, unless this committee take charge of the matter and proceed with i', this Con- grees mightas weil lay down its power. if even the evidence that has been already taken Was published, and no furtheraction by Oon- gress should be had, L am sauetied that it would go the country asa deliberate, solemn protest against repetitions in the fature of a drunken electioneering tour, which iast year mantied the cheek of the nation with shame; that it will be a protest against bis attack upoa the law-making power of the country, anda protest against his usurpations, his crimes, and bis misdemeanors. Sir, his crime is not, as many suppose, the mere perfidy of which he is guilty to the men who elected him in an evil bour Vice President of the United States —biack and infamous as that crime is. His clime is the highest known to the country—a crime against the Republic itself. Ifthe in- vestigation gono farther it will establish the question that the people of this country will not permit a man with impuaity to be guilty of theacts of which he has been guilty. In the name of loyalty betrayed, ef Inw violated, of the Constitution trawpled apon, the nation demands the impeachmentand removal of An- drew Jebnson. The Speaker here interrupted Mr. Ashley, and said that while he knew there was 4 license of debate on a resolution in regard to impeach. ment he thought the gentleman from Ohio was proceeding Beyond that limi. Mr. Randali inquired whether there was an insane asylum near bere. Mr. Chanler suggesied that there was one over the river. (Laughter } Mr. Wood expressed the hope that the gen- tleman from Obio would be permitted to go on with bis speech, The Speaker suggested to Mr. Ashley that he u guage which would be nsive, and tant v arge the President ¥ nd misdemeanors because the Consti- allowed him to do so the imierences crimes most be lef to those whom he addressed Mr. Niblack inquired from Mr. Ashley whether he proposed to leave the matter open to general debate, and if not he desired to ask him a question Mr. Ashley declined to yield to the question just now, and resumed his remarks, saying : Mr. President, ido not objeet tothese men who are in sympathy with the Executive. Mr. Eldridge called Mr. Asnley to order, *eaying he was addressing the Presidentof the United States, not the Speaker. Mr. Boyer expressed the hope that Mr. Ash- ley would be allowed to go on without inter- ruption becanse he was doing the Presideat service, and they appreciated bis efforts very much. Mr. Asbley ezid that he was glad that the gentlemen so regarded it, and proceeded to commence his remarks aguin:—Well, Mr. President— Mr. Eldridge again called him to order amid much laughter, when the Speaker intimated to bim he must address the Chair Mr. Garfield suggested that perhaps the mis- take was prophetic. Mr. Eldridge said he thonght the gentleman from Ohio had President on the a. Mr. Ashley, resuming his remarks, said :-—1 know that loyal men—many among the timed who are loy: hesitate in this matter, and that the late rebels and Northern allies of the Pres- ident, with all his corrupt followers. alternately Ubreaten and supplicate that we shall postpone the consideration of this matter. They also threaten thatin case we proceed with it there sbali be rebellion and civil war.and ali of them joi in prophesying financial rain to the coun- iry if the Congress of the nation undertake to iim peach the President, as provided in the Con- stitution. 1 hope Congress will not hesitate to do Its duty because of the attempt in our own ranks and of the efforts of the President's satraps and of bis rebel allies. If the country can stand the shock caused by the assassination of a beloved President, it certamly can stand the sbock caused by the removal of ene who is detested as the acting @Bresident is, if nis re- moval is in pursuance’of law. Before be had been one month in the Presidency he entered imto combinations with the late enemies of the nation to usurp the prerogatives of Congress, and to combine, not to aid the loyal men of the South, but to put the government of the South inthe bands of their mortal enemies and of ours. With me this would be enough; but add to this his other acts, and the case agatast him is complete. The duty of the President of the United States is to exeente, not to make, the Jaws. His oath reqnires him. him to see that the Iaws are faithfully executed. That the Presidert has neglected or failed to execute many of the laws of Congress no man ques- ons. That he bas failed to execute the civil righis bill, and bas not even attempted to do s0, the whole country knows. He has not only failed to execute it, but has in indecent avd most offensive language assailed and de- nounced the law as anconstitutional. In his failure to execute this most just and most ne- cessury law, the crimes of the President be- come perfectly colossal. Since the surrender of Lee and Johnston more than 5,000 American citizens, gailty of no crime bat a love of coun- try, have been murdered by men who were lately in arms against the country, and many more thousands have been driven from their homes, while no effort has been made on the partof the execative department of this Giov- ernment to give them the proteetion which the Jaw guarantees to them, and which hamanity and justiee demands for them. Mr. Ashley then suggested «that all persons, whether citizens or foreigners, who have in their possession any document that can be evidence in the case,or who are in the pos- session of any facts tending to show techni- cally the guilt of this man, are bound in duty to bring the facts to the knoweledge of the Judiciary Committee.” Mr. Spalding denounced the whole scheme of impeachment as one of consummate folly, saying, “noone &ct amounting to acrime or misdemeanor has as yet beem proved against the Executive of this nation, ana I challenge any man to reply to me when | make this averment. Sir, l have voted for every radi- cal measure of reconstruction proposed in this House, and yet we bave not adopted radical Mmensures enough to suit the purposes of some gentlemen around me. They now cry tor the bead of the Executive. {Phey want more blood,” suggested Mr. Wood, in nis seat.) For what goed purpose! Js it to make wuy tor some other man. or set otf men? Is this whole nation to be convulsed, is our public credit to be trifled with, are our stocks to be brought down to thirty, twenty, orien per cent., simply to gratify this anxiety to remove the Execu- cutive head of the nation! Sir, I cannot go for what eee Mr. Niblack here alluded to a charge going the rounds of the newspapers tending to show that Mr. Ashley is not a proper person to bring this matter before the country. Mr. Butler assumed that the action of the Thirty-ninth Congress, and the report of the Judiciary Committee—that there is reasonable cause for investigation of the grave cbarges made against the President of the United States by the gentieman from Ohio—forecloses the question, and that this Congress would be false to itself, false to the country, and false to the principles of the American Government if Jt shrank trom the investigation. A motion to lay the resolutions on the table failed by--yeas nays 119. Mr. $ Said the language ot Mr. Ashley was unbecoming and ie. it the President is chief of the conspirators and the White Honse a den of thieves and pardon - brokers, why the delay of going on with the inve-tigation of the committed Why not im- mediately proeeed to impeachment at once! For what purpose were they assembled here ! if the President was guilty of high crimes and tmisdemeanors, why adjourn for two or three months? Why abandon the Government for that length of time to thieves and pardon- brokers? Now was the time for action. if there was one word of truch in what the gen- tieman said, this House ought not to adjoarn “‘witbont proceeding to. impeachment. if ke ‘Was guilty of high crimes and mi OTs. now was the time, without further delay, to try Birk.

Mr. Schenck was excused, thus leaving Mr. Van Wyck chairman of that committee Mr. Niblack aroee to a question of privilege, and presented the credentials of A. B.Green- ‘Wood, as representative from the 3d district of Arkansas, and he asked that they be referred to the Committee on Elections The credentials were laid upon the table. Mr. Stevens moved to saspend the rules, to enable him to introduce a bill to repeal the act retroceding the county of Alexandria, in the District of Columbia, to the State of Vir- ginia, The rules were snspended and the bil! intro- duced. After some remarks in favor of the bill by Mr. Ingersoll, and against it by Mr. McOul- lough, the bill was passed—yeas Ili, may< Mr. Price moved to suspend the rules to en able him to introduce # jomtresolution authcr- izing the application of part of the funds now in the Treasury to the redemption of outstand- ing compound interest notes. Mr. Hoeper objected, expr’ ng the hope that the House would not begin to tinker with the currency se soon. The joint resolution directs the Secretary of the Treasury to use all money in the Treasury over and above $70..00,00u for the purpose of redeeming the compouna int-rest notes now outstanding, so far as they sball be preseuted for redemption Pending the question, the House adjourned RITUALISM —As the people of America are at present much interested in the discussions about Ritaalism in the Episcopal Church, in- formation of what is transpiring in Engiand on the same subject is of interest. A commitiee of laymen, to Whom the subject was recently referred by an English conference, have re- ported in favor of inviting the leading mem- bers, both lay and clerical, of tbe Church of England, without distinction of party, to join in a deputation to the Prime Minister for the purpose oO: urging upon the (tovernment the necessity of legisiation for amending the Ku- bric which immediately precedes the Order fsr Morning Prayer, andaiso amending the Church cipline act, so us to facilitate the restrain- ing of innovations. They further :ecom- mend that the Premier should be requested to advise her Majesty to issue a commission which shall inquire inte the propriety of amending the Rubric complained of, and of rendermg the entorcementot ehurch discipline in such matters prompt and inexpensive. In the event of non-success in this application, they recommend recourse to Parliament and an address from each House to the Crown Prosecutions of Ritualists are deprecateu; and, lastly, the committee + cannot too earnestly and empbaxtically impress upon the Uonference the importance of regarding and dealing with this question in such @ manner as to carry with them, in their proposed solution of the present difficulty, the largest possible number of mem- bers of the Ohurch of Engiand.” THE ENGLIsH ARMY.—A plan for reorgan- izing the English urmy is soon to be presented to Parliament. The militia will be made the foundation of the active army. Men will be enlieted for twelve years Instead of ten, as at present, seven of these wili be spent in the army, available for general service; the fe- maining five inthe militia, under certain ad- vantageous conditions A measure will be proposed for obtaining their further service at ‘be end of the twelve years. Non-commis- sioned officers and men will still be permitied Lo Tre-engage in the army and serve fof pension The great trouble in England now is th s the army is at present constituted, recruits"can- not be obtained in sufficient numbers to keep itup to the requisite standard. On Jannary let, the military establishment at its minimum called for 201,000 men, but there were only 194,549 In the ranks, Of these 77,701 were in Great Britain, 48,66 In the Colones, and 68./42 in India. During the year 1866 various dis- charges, deaths and like casualties deprived the army ef 23,00 men, whilst but 14,430 re- cruits could be obtained, thongh evyeiy pos- sible exertion was made to get them. It is worthy of notice that the proportion of the total force in arms (including army, navy. marines and embodied militia at home and abroad) to every 100 male population of the United Kingdom, aged 16and under 40, was 13.6 in 1901, 14.5 im 1511,3.8in 1821,36in 1-31, 3.6 in IS4l, 3.5 in 1F51. §.9 im 1955, 92 im 1856, 6.1 in 1858, 6.2 in 1859, and 5.7 in 1861 pean iit oeeaertataaetasrst oy THE CoLORED QUESTION IN PHILADELPHIA A colored woman trom Princetown, New Jer- sey, prosecuted, before Alderman Beitler, on Monday, a eonductor of the Fifth street : ail- Toad cars, named John ©, Schiafer. The pros- ecutrix made oath that she wanted to ride up Fitth street. Upon each car that she desired to enter she was told to wait for the next one She says that growing weary of waiting, she Was determined to get upon car No. 32, of which Schlafer was conductor. She claims that she was pushed off, and for this enters criminal prosecution. The conductor entered bail in six hundred dollars to answer at court .The circumstances of this case, Says the News, are peculiar, and as a matter of bald fact the reporter gives them without comment For some months the Tenth street railroad made no distinction for color in people who wished to ride in their cars. The receipts of the road fell off miter tend dollars per day at once, and from that fo ninety and one hun- dreé dollars, The directors, after some weeks’ trial. held a meeting, and concluaed to devote every filth car to colored peopie, and to such Whites as would ride with them. Oddly enosen there were then scarce any colored people who wanted to ride. In the vehicles marked «colored people allowed in this ad Hot a face was visible. The prosecutrix in t! ease could have ridden had she waited three minutes longer, and the conductor ejected her as considerately as he could. DisarLeD Younc MEN.—The discuesions in France about the propored change~ in the army are bringing oat some curious statistics. The Parise correspondent of the London Times eays that the number of men whom Napoleon proposes to take annually for the army Smounts to almost the entire product of able- bodied youth wbich France can produce. It will astonish many to learn what a large pro- portion of thé young men who are forced to draw lots every year and liable to serve as re- cruits in the order of their nambers are reject- ed by th® medial i tors. In 1s6% the number of men liable to serve was 326,00. Of these were rejecte¢—18,106 below the standard height; 30,624 weak constitution, consamption. &c.; 15,958 mutilated from birth, hermia, &c.; 9100 bumpbacked and fiattooted: 698% blind or deat; 963 stammerers: $103 insafficient teeth; 6213 geltre and scrofula: 2158 lunatics and para- lytics, ana 13,546 with other incapacities. The total youth of the year unfit to serve in the army was over 109.000. INORRASE OF FEMALE PREACuING —Female evangelists appear to be on the tncrease in ‘ngland.
