The returns of the election on the 15th came in slowly, and it was still impossible to teil who were the successful candidates for Congress. The majority of those nominated are men who were identified with the rebellion, Mr. Charles J. Jenkins has been elected Gov- ernor unanimously, there haying been no opposing can- didate. Ho has the reputation of being a man of much ability and high character, and of having kept himself aloof from the rebel cause. The Georgians are much ex- orcised regarding the official reception their Congres- sional representatives will meet with in Washington, ap- prebending that they will not be immediately admitted to seats, National troops are gradually being withdrawn from the State, ordors having recently been received for the mustering out of three more regiments serving in the department—the Sixty-eighth and Ninetioth New York and the Twelfth Maine, Fears of a negro outbreak about Christmas are freely expressed in Georgia, as in other Southern States, though so far the freedmen generally have conducted themselves véry well, and manifested a disposition to be industrious and get along with their late masters on good terms, Large numbers of immigrants are arriving in the State, and many of them are pushing forward to the rich agricultural and lumber regions of the interior. A San Francisco despatch reports that on the 17th inst. a party of Indians in the Black Mountains, in the northern part of the State of Nevada, were attacked, and one hundred and twenty of them killed, by « party of sixty California volunteers.

Ono Californian only was killed, and two wore wounded. ‘The Canadians, our Toronte correspondence of ths 27th inst. states, have watched so long in fear and trembling for the Fenian invasion that, finding the Fenians have not come, they are plucking up courage and attending more to home affairs.

In the Supreme Court yesterday, beforo Judge Clorke, & number of decisions were announced. In the case of Schaffer against the Second Avenue Railroad Company, which was an action for damages by being run over by one of the company’s cara, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for five thousand dollars, During the November term of the Court of General Sessions, which has just eomo to a close, over one hun- dred cases wore disposed of by Judge Russel and Assist ant District Attorney Bedford. It appears that the negro Tillman, who was convicted of an infamous offence upon a little child, has already served a term of fivo years in the State Prison for larceny. A conspiracy to release three prisonors confined in the Ludlow street jail on charges of passing forged claims on government paymasters’ has recently been developed and frustrated, The alleged forgers are named John 3. Kelly, W. H. McCoun and William Do Vero, alias Michi- gan Bill, and they have been in confinement since August last. Thomas Edwards and Peter McDado are the mon who attempted their liberation, which was tohave been effected by means of a lot of implements secretly con- veyed to the jail on Tuesday last; but the discovery of these, as well as of somo of the conspiracy correspond- ence, by the prison officers, completely blocke1 the game. Edwards and McDade have been arrested and locked up, and their friends whom they desired to sot at liberty have been ironed and placed in closeconfine mont. a. ‘The investigation which is now going on, a horeto- fore stated in our columns, with rogard to alleged frauds on the part of master workmen in tho Brooklyn Navy Yard, by means of returning more men on the pay rolls than have been employed, was commenced about two weeks ago, and is expected to last for another week.

By the last steamer from England we have another instalment of the Adams-Ruseell cor- respondence, the substance of which may be briefly stated. Earl Russell (October 14) first explains that his proposed commission con- templated the consideration of “all claims arising during the late civil war which the two Powers (aot either of them, but which the two Powers) shall agree to refer.” He takes occasion to say, however, in regard to such cases as the Alabama and Shenandoah rebel cruisers, that “for any acts of her Majesty’s subjects committed out of their jurisdiction and beyond their cortrol the government of her Majesty are not responsible.” Mr. Adams (October 17) asks “the favor of his lordship to (the British government) is willing and what it would not be willing to refer to the proposed commission.” f To this point blank proposition for a fair understanding Earl Russell (October 19) an- ewers that the information requested will take some time, but that “her Majesty’s government will farnish it as soon as they can consistently with the importance of the question.” This is the corner into which his lordship is driven at last, and from which he asks his own time to make his escape. It is to be hoped, however, that our government will put an end, without further parley, to this quibbling proposition for a commission. Upon its face it is nothing more than a shallow trick to gain time and fritter away this important business in a still beginning and never ending pettifogging cor- respondence. On the 3d of November, in answer to a letter of Mr. Adams of the 18th of October, which does not appear, Earl Russell proceeds to another rehash of the “patient neutrality of Great Britain, notwithstanding the interruption of her commerce and the immense losses suffered by her people during the four years” of our late war, and of the honest and laborious efforts of her Majesty’s government to prevent the equipment in and escape from British ports of rebel cruisers, and all that; and he closes with # recapitulation of the various flagrant cases of such cruisers, showing that England, in regard to these Anglo-rebel depredations on our commerce, must be exempted from all damages. He pleads to this end, also, the ex- ample of the United States in reference to certain Portuguese claims, and the laws of our Congress and of England in reference to noutral obligations and belligerent rights. Thus ends this correspondence for the present, for Lord Russell announces that this is his last letter on the subject. The result, assit stands, with all the quibbles and special pleadings, apologics and excuses of Earl Russell, simply amounts to this:—that the British government flatly denies any: lia- bility to damages, and flatly refuses any in- demnity for the deprodations of such Anglo- rebel cruisers as the Alabama and Shenan- doah and others of that stripe. Now, then, what isto be done? The alter- native of reprisals, which waa strongly sug- gested by General Jackson in his day in rela- tion to certain maritime claims against France— an alternative which enabled the French government to see and to recognize the justice of those claims—is precisely the alternative which this Adams-Russell correspondence eug- gesta as the next step for President Jobnaon. “Oh, no,” the shrinking peace worms will eay; “there is the entente cordiale between England and France. They would like nothing better than a quarrel with us now in our present crippled financial and our de- moralized internal condition.” But we have no apprehensions of anything of the kind. A war at this juncture beiween the United States on the one side, and England and France on the other, would procipitate a Enropean convulsion, in which the existing governments end governing classes of England and France would go down, and they know it, Only look at it tora moment. The Fenians in Ireland and Canada, the halfsiarved work- ing classes of Fngland, the Orleanists and red republicans of france and the Continent, are all ripe for combustion, A war of the Western Powers of Europe with the United States would light up all these combustibles in the flames of the first French revolution. General European | destitution, resulting from the suspension of the world’s commerecé, would do this, with such an opportunity for a strike for popular rights and institutione. This, we think, is the right view of the subject. We can exact justice from England and France without war. Hence we regard this as the proper time for the Mon- roe doctrine aud for a settlement with England secording (0 the diplomacy of General Jack- | son, that of My.

The Erie Rail- | road is one of the great avenues by which the products and the people of the West reach this city. It is » pity that this grent railroad, in choosing the straightest line to reach us, should have {o cross the soil of another State, and it is an evil that a district so thoroughly identified with this city in all its interests should be subject to the jurisdiction of another government than onrs. All the shores of New York harbor should be owned and ruled by this State, and to have it otherwise is an embarraas- ment to commerce and to the exeontion of the laws. Steps should therefore be taken by the Legislature in the coming winter to remedy this by purchasing from New Jersey, or by otherwise inducing her to cede to us, the piece of terti- tory lying between the Hudson river and a line drawn from the head of Newark Bay to where the Erie road crosses from State to State. By this we would just take in the strip of land in which the railroad runs, and we would eventu- ally, by the consolidation of our suburbs, in- clude within our municipal limits all the Jor- sey City and Bergen residents. ‘This would be ® great advantage to those populations, as woll a@ lo the business of our harbor —————— distinguish as well what among the claims it athe The southern Representatives and the | Hepebliican Party. — the time for the assembling of Congress approaches the question in regard to the ad- mission of the Southern delegates becomes more and more important. From the oracular telegrams sent on from Washington from dey to day we conjecture that the, republicans have decided to shut out representatives from the rebellious States, Mr. McPherson, the Clerk of the House, claims to have entire con- trol of the roll, and has already announced that he will not allow Southern members to partici- pate in the organization of Congress. After the organization is effected the test oath prescribed by a former Congress will act as an effectual bar against those representatives who, to put it mildly, have resided in any of the seceded States during the recent war. President John- gon’s reconstruction policy may thus be im- peded by the refusal of Congress to repeal the test oath, and the republicans may accomplish their design of having both houses exclusively to themselves. We have already shown in these columns that the exclusion of the Southern delegates by republican majority is not in accordance with the constitution. Either the Southern States are in the Union or out of it. If they are in the Union they have the right to representa- tion in Congress, If they are out of the Union, then the South was victorious in the late war, in a different sense from that which Wendell Phillips intends; for we fought to keep the re- bellious States in the Union, and, according to republican logic, we have failed to do so. In this view the Hgratp has denounced the anticipated action of the republicans as revolutionary, and we have yet to see a single one of thelr organs that dares to meet the issue as presented in our previdus ar.icles. Indeed, the republicans appear to consider that, having the majority in Congress, they may do just as they like, and need no ar- guments to justify their eccentric and extra constitutional proceedings. In course of time, however, they will certainly discover that might does not make right in this republic. Like all politicians the republicans deal with the question of the admission of the Southern delegates simply as a matter of policy. They believe that it will be for the interest of the party to keep out the Southern members, and consequently they resolve upon this exclusion. To do right is always the best policy in the end, and no other policy can be permanently successful. This exclusion is the first great mistake that the republicans are making. It shows how narrow are the views and how deep is the ignorance of the radical leaders. Why, if all the representatives from the South wore admitted the republicans would still have a majority, and could do just as they ple:sed. By excluding the South they exclude ali opposition, they leave themselves nothing to fight against, they transform the national Congress into a mere sectional body, and the result will be thatin a fow weeks they will commence fighting- among themselves, and, like the cats of Kilkenny, they will ultimately destroy each other and the party. Admit the Southern members, and grant that every South- ern member will join the opposition—which is by no means probable—and tho republicans will then have an opposition that will keep them together, that will give them a rallying point, while at the enme time it will always be easily defeated, and will lend to their partisan triumphs the ¢clat of « contest and the color of national legislation. Thus the admission of the Southern repre- sentatives is commended to the republican leaders, both as a matter of constitutional right and of temporary expediency; but it is quite as well worthy of attention in its rela- tions to the future of the party. The republi- cans ‘now have the government of the country in their own hands, and if they manage them- velves properly and conservatively they can retain it for tho next fifty years, The demo- cratic party is brokea up, and only some ex- ceedingly unpopular demonstration on the purt of the republicans can give it any strength. The exclusion of the Southern delegates is just such an unpopular demonstration. ‘The people want the war ended. Having fought for four years in the field, they do not desire to keep on fighting in the forum. Our morchants want their Southern customers, Our manufacturers want the Southern staples, Our commerce wants its Southern market. We all want peace. Shut out the South, delay reconstruction, throw didiculties in the way of the return to peace, prosperity, and progreas, and you at once offend, not only the whole Southern people, but also the great masses of the North- ern people. The democratic party will then be revived as an opposition, party, and it will have universal sympathy and support. The President—who is a host in himself—will be with it, for it will adopt his plan of restoration. At the next State elections the republicans will he beaten; at the next general election they will be annihilated. The saying of President Johnson that those who try to keep States out of the Union are as traitorous as those who try’ to take States out of the Union will be adopted as the popular shibboleth, and the republicans will be put down as thoroughly as the original secessionists. As, therefore, their scheme of excluding the Southern representa- tives is unconstitutional, impolitio, unnecessary, unpopular, foolish and dangerous, we hope that it will be quietly and speedily abandoned. Tar Lonvon Tos 4 Recruiting Acent ror tur Frntans.—Colonel O'Mahony, the head of the Fenian movement in this country, was exiled from his native land for his participa- tion in the effort to establish the independence of Ireland in 1848. The sympathy in this coun- try for that movement was very general, but was not sufficiently of the substantial kind. The Emmet Monument Association was then started, in which Colonel O’Mahony engaged; but as the period for erecting a monument to the illustrious Irish patriot could not be fixed until Ireland should be free, that monument did not amount to a great deal. Then followed the Fenian movement, with Colonel O’Mahony the active spirit, This organization has been in existence fur several years, but did not smount to much until the New Yore Harpy took it up, and gave a vivid description of its history, objects and personnel. Then the Lon- don 7¥mes copied our account, and imme- diately began the work of the order, terming it a “shadowy affair,” and ridi- culling it in the most contemptuous terms, Then the bishops end priesta began to denounce it, and warn their followers to shun the Brother- hood as they would « pestilence. Now, what is the rosaltt Instead of orio- | pling the progress of the order the denun- ciations of the London Times and the bishops have served to accelerate its growth, to give it strength and make its ramifications almost universal. The Times has, in tact, acted as & sort of recruiting agent in London for the Fenians. It has pointed out to the disaffected Irish 8 point around which they can rally and for a purpose they have ever considered the most holy—the liberation of their country from English oppression. In 1848 Colonel O’Mahony came here a poor exile from Erin. The same poor exile is to-day the head of an organiza- tion numbering half a million of men, with » treasury amounting to two millions im cash, and the money continually flowing in in a steady and increasing volume. The London ‘Times ond all others who think this Fenian movement to be paltry, shadowy and insig- nificant should reflect upon these things. The Fenians this moment are a more formidable or- ganization, have a better established system of government, are more zealously and effectively operating for the attainment of their objects than were the court and retainers of the Pre- tender Charles when he established himself at St. Germain and proclaimed himself King of England. But that matter did not give Eng- land half the trouble the Fenians will when the time arrives for sction. The influence of the Fenians obtained the liberation of John Mitchel, and the Brotherhoed sent him to Paris with some thousands of dollars in his pocket to pur- chase a few Freneh notions in the way of ord- nance, &c, Before long the London Times and the English government will find that the Fe- nian movement in this country is no humbug. But in order to get that impression into the thick head of John Bull it will be neceseary for the Fenians to carry out some of the ideas re- specting neutrality which the English put in practice during the late rebellion. And the best way to help them along in their rapid and progressive march is for the London Times to keep on abusing them—in other words, acting as their recruiting agent in the English metro- polis. Grorcx Oumisry’s Mixsrre.s—Ormxina Nica or THW Fivra Avenux Orgka Hovse,—The grand opening of the new Opera House, Nos. 2 and 4 West Twenty-fourth street, near the Fifth Avenue Hotel, by George Christy’s fine minstrol company, takos place this (Thursday) even- ing. The spacious and clogant building, with its fittings and accommodations, have been already described in the Heratp. Its stage will be occupied to-night by a com- pany in every way worthy of it, among whom we see the name of Mr. J. E. Green, who created such a furor among the Brooklynites the other evening whon per- forming with the Christy troupe. He will give his famous and extraordinary ‘Mocking Bird Song.’ The inaugural programme is very comprehensive. In the second part will come the Carnival de Christy. The remaining scenes are 60 full that they must be witnessed to bo appreciated, We have no doubt that George Christy will have a “huge"’ success.

Minstrels of all nations appear thore this evening, to the number of twonty-two performers, in beautiful tableaux, now and racy jokes, original ballads, and a most varied bill of en- tertainment. & wonder the Tempio is jammed. ‘Tax San Francuco Mivsrrms aro in their thirtieth wook in Broadway, opposite the Metropolitan Hotel. They claim the ‘“nulié secundus" of talont and perfec: tion, and the crowds which fill the houso endorse tho claim. The favorite performers, Birch, Wambold, Ber- nard and Backus, are there this evening in airs of every nationality, while jigs, olog dancing, the burlesque of “Young Africa," and: foats on the flying trapeze, follow in rapid succession to the end. Toxy Pastor's Orrna Hovar.—This ostablishment, No. 201 Bowery, sustains its neat outward appearance in its intorior arrangomonts and the amusement afforded by the proprictor. Last evoniug it was donsely crowded, and tho programme for this (Thureday) evening gives as- surance of a splendid and amusing entertainment. The “Buffalo Boys" come out in a clog dance and Miss Biancho Btanley and Miss Ellen Collence in song and dance. The tight rope porformancos of Marietta Zan- fretta aro wonderful and excellent. A new trick panto- mime, callod tho Demon's Revol, is in preparation. Extension of Teivorarm Facuarims Sowra.—The ‘United States.
