SENATOR DAILY’S ADDRESS. VOICES FROM TOWN AND COUNTRY. IMPORTANT SENATE STATEMENT. SESSION OF THE BODY TO-DAY. Yesterday was a day of rest, but ¥ was also a day of eonversation, and the gay and witty Hibernians, having many things to say about Fenianism and its surround- dogs, were not idle in that regard. This topic is now taken up in the non-Fenian circles of Irish citizens, and citizens generally begin to look into it somewhat, the recent developments having given a partial idea of its ‘enormous inner resources. WHAT THE COUNTRY MODERATES HAVE TO SAY. There are dozens of country people every day in the city seeking some clue to the Fenian imbroglio, and ex- amining if the horizon afforded a speck of hope to escape from it The Senate Hall or the O’Mahony Mansion are the places where the “unsophisticated”? individuals most do congregate. For months and years they have been paying final calls and looking for final moments, and they are in no mood to permit the real finale to be jotted down by the historic pen as no other thing than a storm of epithets, personalities, bad temper and worse sense, uch as the country cousins are regaled with each day on the arrival of the New York journals at their quiet bargs. ‘The Circles and men in immediate contact with the chief actors in thie Fenian division are eo thoroughly Biased and inflamed in their respective positions that they can neither restrain passion themselves nor appre- eiate ihe cool feelings of those outside who look at mat- ters not as partisans, but as general patriots. The reso- Jations for the most part passed by the Circles in this vicinity, and the addresses and harangues which are heard, are usually promotive of much intemperance, and nothing else. ‘Deep dyed traitors of the so-called Sen- ate,” and so on, can answer no good, no more than high flying flings from the other side can “bring down the palace game.”” In the Fenian Brotherhood there are thousands who may have seen the necessity of purifying the Fenian ad- ministration, but who cannot perceive the policy of keep: ing things forever in a fever of frenzy. ‘There are other thousands who did never suspect the old system of any. ahing but straightforwardness, but who sicken at the rbodomontade of palace posters and royal cabals. “CONGRESS”? OF FENIANS, OR “CONVOCATION OF CLANSMEN.”” A Congress, then, is on the tapis—called a ‘Congress’? dy the partizans of the old system, and denominated “a convocation of the clan O'Mahony” by the other side. ‘This Congress will elect John 0’Mabony to preside over ‘Me deliberations, and John O'Mahony will elect the Con- revs to guillotine his opponents. “The mansion scribes will submit resolutions,” “penny whistle pettifaggers’’ will raily the ayes to the echo, the edict of excommuni- ‘cation will go forth against the Senatorial sinners, and the O’Muhony will be recrowned as Ardh Righ of the Palace. Evenings will be devoted to mass meetings in the halls and institutions of the metropolis, the daytime debates will be a repetition of the most blustering phases of the Cincinnati and Philadelphia assemblages, the daily Papers will come out every morning with their columns of bombast and freight of perfidy and treason bandied Detween the respective |iberators, aud the whole thing will in all probability be too much of a good thing for dhe denizens of Gotham. WARM FENIANISM FOR A WARM CONGRESS. This city—Fenianism—is at present very much ex- cited, Mr. O'Mahony bas been with them a good while; they have been to his office and he to their hall. One ‘of the charges in the indictment against bin is having entrusted these district meetings with the contents of 1 R. _B. dispatches. His secretary says the reagon was that Manhattan Fenians were safer depositories for such than traitor and intormer Senators. The constitution raid the President of the Senate was the party to hear them. The Manhattan rank and file were flattered by the discrimivation in their favor. They are almost to a man at the height of gratitude and devoiion to their friend and neighbor, O'Mahony. O’Mabony has been heard to brand these Senators and their party as traitors bribed with British gold, who are starting up a rival institution to swamp Unton square Iveland all in a bunch. The Senate headquar- ters are really in operation; funds ave being re ceived there; counter denunciations against the Union square chief are wafted around by the Senatorial breezes. The Senatorial side have their party through the country, they have their President and party in the city, They have the bitterest possible feelings to repay the O'Mahony execration launched at them, Thus stands the case in the city. FRYING PAN OR FIRE? In come a bundred or two fierce O'Mahony men on ‘the 2d of January to take council in Cooper Institute and jue forth in their might against the impeachers of the r favorite. The cauldron boiling fiercely before is stirred up to still greater rage by the new reinforcement. Whi can be expected as the outcome?

Most assuredly the man of these latter professions who would dare for a moment to grumble at any decision their great recognized Irish Chief might vome to would be scorned and hooted out, and the whole division would march to the beck of Ire- jJand’s Central Chief. A word from Stephens would lay the whole storm. “One blast upon his bugle horn’’ were literally worth ten thousand men, ora million Union square convoca- tions or Senate condemnations as a means of offecting reul 1F STEPHENS COMES NOT, WHAT? If Stephens does arrive here matters will thus be ar- ranged thoroughly, and the movement would most as- suredly be heard from in quick time, He has not arrived yet. It is not known when he will, If one month élaps*s and a convocation or two on one or the other side intervene, he will certainly have a much harder job on hand’ to set the furniture of the Fenian institution to rights than he would now, ‘There are a great many sensible and practical men of non-partisan records who are earnestly striving to effect an arrangement, come what may, But they have not much prospects of 81 and will have little while the war-cry of the one side continues, ‘O’Mahony, or no- body;” and that of the other, ‘Anybody but O’Ma- hony.” Thus literally stand matters now, and the above is the strain of speculation generally indulged in those known as the moderates, and particularly by those Fenian officers and men from States and places outside the city influence, several bodies of whom have been seen by our reporter yesterday communing anxious- ly ‘on the situation.” As these parties are in good odor in both establishments, it is oxpected that their contemplated visits to both to-day will have considerable influence in toning the further operations of both parties, ANOTHER SENATOR—CAPTAIN BERNARD P. DAILY, OF INDIANA. Captain Bernard P. Daily, late State Senator of Indiana, and one of the leading minds of Fenianism in the whole country, has been engaged for the past two days in hear- ing boil sides of the question, Captain Daily is a mem- ber of the Senate, He was chairman of the Philadelphia committee which framed the present Fenian constitu tion, and the document, it is said, was for the most part drawn up by him. He is algo a jurist of standing in his State, and was chary of committing himself before mak- inga thorough scrutiny. Friday was spent in the Senatorial quarters and Saturday in the Union square establish- ment, The following document explains the result:— ADDRESS OF SENATOR DAILY, OF INDIANA, THE AUTHOR OF THE CONSTITUTION. New York, Dec. 16, 1865. To Te OvFicers AND MEMBERS OF THE FENIAN BROTHER- HOOD Frienvs, Brotuers AND CountRYM&N—At the last gen- eral Congress of the Brotherhood, held in the city of Philadelphia in October last, it was clearly perceptible then the old form of government was insufficient, and in erder to guard against all contingencies, and to more effectually work the liberation of our native land, your delegates there assembled adopted and ratified the con- stitution of the Fenian Brotherhood, taking as their basis the constitution of the United States, making our gov- ernment one of delegated powers, #0 that each depart- ment has its duties and power prescribed and defined, and all power not delegated is reserved to the Circles and members, -AS one who took a prominent part in the formation of that constitution, and by you chosen as & Senator, at this most trying hour of our organization [ deem it my duty to lay before you what I firmly believe to be the true purport of the constitution; and in +g. 80 T have no personal ambition to gratify—no friends eo enemies to punish. When Iaccepted the | sae uu ul Senator it was for the purpose of giving aid «wad comfort to Ireland’ liberation, calling apon God, under the solemn sanction of an oath, to guide me in all things connectea with this position, and havin, taken this oath to support and defend the constitution thall do so to the best of rg humble judgment. The constitution adopted and ratified by your repre- sentatives provides in article second that all legislative wers shall be vested in a Congress of the Fenian rotherhood, which shall consist of a Senate and repre- sentative body. The second section of the same article provides that the representatives shall be chosen every year by the Brotherhood in good standing of the several States and districts, Section third, same article, reads us follows:—‘“The Senate of the Fenian Brotherhood shall consist of fifteen senators, They shall be nomi- nated by a committee of two from each State and dis- trict, elected by the delegates of each State and district in Congress assembled, and such nominces shall be elected by a two-third’ vote of said Congress.” The eeventh section of the same article provides the mode of electing the presiding officer of the Senate, prescrib- ing his dates. upon the death, impeachment, removal or ee wo act of the President of the Fenian Brother- ood. Sec. 8 The Senate shall have the sole power to try all impeachments, and when sitting they shall be on oath, and should it become necessary to try the Presi- dent or Vice President of the Fenian Brotherhood the Senate shall elect its presiding officer pro tempore, and no person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two-thirds of the Senate. Sec. 9. Judgment in case of impeachment shall be final and at the discretion of the Senate. Article third provides for the election of the President prescribing his duties and defining bis powers, ard in all his appointments of oflicers in the Brotherhood, before Fd same shall be taken, must be approved of by the Senate. Having thus adopted this as our form of government, every member of the Brotherhood is bound to observe it. There can be no conflict of authority, as the powers of each department are stated in plain and concise language. ‘To the Senate you have delegated a three-fold power— legislative, executive and judicial—and making their ju- dicial decrees final, avd from which there is no appeal ; or, in other words, you have constituted them asthe na- tional committee of safety, and for which they receive no compensation. Nota dollar can be taken from the treasury without first being appropriated by that body; ‘and in order that they may more effectually discharge this important trust, you have declared that they shall meet in perpetual sess.on. (Sec. 91, article 2 of consti- power without being submitted to the President of the Senate, and, should he deem necessary, submitied to the Senate. Having made this government, are you not willing to support and maintain it? If we make laws one day and set them at naught another, tven we are wholly incapable of self-government; for without law, order and discipline we cannot expect to compete with the power that holds our country in bond- Whatever may be the differences of opinion about lain men or measures, we must not lose sight of the constitution. It isthe polar star upon which all eyes should be centred. Whether certain officers of the or- ganization bave been guilty of malfeasance in office I know nothing of, as I was not present during the trial.

Of the facts | know nothing, a8 I worship no man—my sole ambition being to liberate Ireland from the ‘of England. And you have made this constitution as the rule you will work by to accomplish this. us then work with earnestness and devotion. At this pe many of suniee aa and brothers are - the hands of the enemy, undergoing all the privations of prison life; dark clouds of adversity are hovering over and around our country, and will we be so recreant to the trust con- fided in us, and at the time when all our means and re- sources should be used to aid our friends and allies at home? No, my countrymen. Let us lay aside all minor considerations, support the constitution of our own making, and stop this thing of canvassing the meri's or demerits of this man or man; but, like true men, prove tothe world that we can liberate our beloved country and maintain therein a republican forma of government. vi the present session of the Senate and all Hts official acts are and have been in accordance with the constitution and laws of our organization, and that it js the duty of every officer to diseb his trust at this moment, I take my place on Monday next in the councils of the Senate of the Fenian Brotherhood, now in session in this city. Yours, fraternally, BERNARD DAILY, Indiana, Senator F. B. 18 SENATOR O'SULLIVAN STILL ON THE FENCE? Senator O'Sullivan, of Auburn, the present State Centre of New York State, has been on the fence and off the fence a good many times already. He has arrived in the city and bas been bard at work in the investiga- tion business. 1 friend and old time admirer of Mr. y, be is most likely to lean to that side of the house, Ho was closeted with the Union equaro gentlemen on Saterday, Has also seen the Sena- tors.

Jersey Crry, Deo. 15, 1865 A joint meeting of the Emniet, Wolfe'Tone and Hudson City Circles of the Fenian Brotherhood was held on Friday evening, December 15, 1865, The following prear- dle and resolutions were unanimously adopted, amidst the most enthusiastic applause :— Whereas a certain body of perfidious men, now in ille- gal session in the city of New York, and vainly assuming the high prerogative of acting as S*nators of the Fenian Brotherhood thereby, without any constitutional right; and whereas the so-called Senators have, by bribery, corruption of sinister motives, thought fit to prostitute their calling by base! viltylg ‘our honest and patriotic President, Colonel John O'Mahony; and whereas the said so-called Senators are trying to break up the Fenian organization in this country by bringing strife and dis- sension into its well organized ranks, thereby giving scandal to the Brotherhood at large and discouragement: to our friends, when everything looked so prosperous ; therefore be it Resolved, That we most emphatically denounce the course they are pursuing, as being most subversive of the great objeet we have in view. Resolved, That we call on all tree Fenians of North America to aid and support our duly elected and tried President, Colonel John O’Mahany, until liberty dawns on our own loved Erin of sorrow. Resolved, That we know no other than Colonel John O’Mahony as the agent of the Irish mogunite in America, and President of the Fenian Brotherhood; nor shall we tamely suffer self-elected usurpers to occupy his place, and thereby betray the cause of our bleeding country. Resolved, That we highly approve the reticence of Colonel John 0’Mahony and Bernard Doran Killian in not replying to the slanderous charges of the go-called Senators. And be it further Resolved, That the malicious article which appeared in the Irish American newspaper of the present week, casting a base slur on the character of a bear friend of Colonel John O’Mahony, by falsely insinuating that he is in league with the grand master of a Canadian secret organization, docs but show too palpably the vindictive age of the writer, and we deem that journal unworthy the support of all true Irishmen, Signed in behalf of the above named circles.

INDIGNANT LETTER PROM THE EDITOR OF THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSE. TO THE EDITOR OF THR HERALD, Orrick oF Tue Untverse, 310 Crestxot Street, Purtavetrnia, Dec, 15, 1865, With your permission I beg to give you a new item in the convulsed direction of Fenianism. In your impression of this date I find a long paragraph, copied from the Irish American, on the Fenian money sent by a Philadelphia agent to Paris, 1 am that agent. The paragroph in question is one of gross falsehood from beginning to end. It contains untruths against Mr. B.D. Killian; it slanders some third party, who ie to me ut- terly unknown, and jt is fall of lies and malignant reftee. tions on myself. I would not answer it if it had not appeared in the New Yore Herat, I proceed to give you a fair statement of the entire transaction in all ite features, welling drafty and emigront passages for the emi- nent house of Tapscott & Co. of Liverpool, London and New York. ‘They pay me as in all such cages a per centage on what Ido for them, Learning that the Fenian authorities were sending much money to Europe, Tapplied to them to buy their drafts from me. I made two applications, The first was to Mr, Prosident O'Mahony. In my lotter to that gentleman I decribed the agency I held. I told him that I would pell him drafts cheaper by several cents on the pound fairy § than he could got them elsewhere, and that he it know how my trouble was to be remunerated I distinctly stated (hat it was to be im the commission al- lowed by the Mesera, Tapscott. In thie letter there was not @ single tittle abdhyt giving up my commiseion, The sake inducement held ot in itto Col. O'Vahony to deal With me Was clea No aus © Wo this letter, 'y. ‘October. precise fate of my letter to the Senate I do not know. But early in November the Secret of the Fenian Treasury, Mr. B D. Killian, whom the ¢ ‘put in his office, ‘sent me a telegraphie message to go to New York to give him a draft of sixty thousand de d_ responded person- ally, In New York I first called on the Messrs. Tapscott, and told them the bus.ness that was up. These gent men and I agreed that a duplicate exchange bill was eafer than a mere draft, and the price per British pound was fixed at $7 35. Pounds sterling sold on this same day at $7 89 to $7 40 in Now York and Philadelphia. From the counting house of Messrs, Tapscott I proceeded to seo Mr. Killian. The business was soon disposed of. On tha banking pouse of Eugene Kelly & Co. Mr. Killian drew for $60,000, and for this amount one of the Tapscott firw gave Mr. Killian duplicate bills of exchange in pounds sterling, payable in London. ‘This terminated the tran ation. Thad no partner in it. My commission was never promised to the Brother. hood, but the opposite wr -"inctly intimated. My as- surance of cheapness I ft aving the Brotherhood over $400, and the blot exchange has been eredited. 1am nota Fenian, I never have been one, There was no collusion in this matter with any one. I have not now, and never had a partner in any business. I asked forthe management of this transaction. I got it, I gave full satisfaction in discharging it. Such is the entire case, Liars and de“amers alone misrepresent it. As to the statement copied into the HeraLp from the Trvch American, that I returned to Philadelphia from this trip to New York with the addresses of the Fenian cir- cles of the country in my pocket, to whorn I: immediate- ly sent pressing letters to subscribe to my paper—that is also a most iniquitous falsehood. T here brand the man who made it with such faischood. With your permission, I would say a word in regard to Mr, Killian. “He is slandered, and slandered for having taken a bill of exchange payable in London. In the obloquy thrown on him for this, it is msinuated that b's design was to compel the “exile” in Paris, for whom the money was intended, to go to London to cash his order, whero, of course, he would be at once taken’ up, But what is the case? The Tapscott house has credit, and it hay had credit for the last twenty years, in eve Tam agent in this city for | city on the continent of Europe; and in Paris Britis! pounds sell at four percent premium, The man who has thrown obloquy on Mr. Killian in this connection knew well the perfidy of doing go. If he did not know it, then he is a consummate dunce; and between being a public dunce and a public dofamer he has my permis- sion to decide which is the more honorable. I remain, Mr. Editor, your very respectful servan J. M. SPELLISSY, Editor of ‘The Universe: the Catholic Hera'd, Bombshell for the Kanucks, VIGOROUS CALLS FOR THE ARREST OF THE CANA- DIAN FENIAN CHIEF. {From the Toronto Globe, Dec. 16.] We find in the New York journals some very extraor- dinary assertions as to the amounts which are being con- tributed to the funds of the Fenian association by its duped adherents, It is alleged that the contributions for October amounted to over $100,000.

It will be seen that five hundred dolla ledged as received from ——, Toronto; and second, three hundred dollars from “Mr. Murphy,’ Toronto. We must say that these figurés make us doubt the a thenticity of the whole list. If the sums were five dol- lars and three dollars they would be much nearer the truth, we fancy. We do not believe that eight hundred dollars could be raised in Toronto in a single month for any such purpose. There can be no doubt as to the identity of M. Murphy with Michael Murphy, the Presi- dent of the Hibernian Society. If it could be proved that he had raised money for the Fenian Society, he would, of course, be amenable to the law; and it may be well for the aulhorities to direst some inquiries into Murphy's roceedings, We shall never belicve that he sout threo Tundred dollars to New York; but he may have done something to help the organization. If it be true that the Fenian leaders receive anything like one hundred thousand dollars a month, the wonder is that they should kill such a magaificent’ goose by quarrelling over the eggs. We shan’t place faith in the list until we see it in a more reliable place than the sensational columns of a New York newspaper. [From the Toronto Leader, Dec. 16.) Does not this prove incontestably that Mr. Michael Murphy, under the hypocritical garb of “benevolence” has been working beart and soul in the interest of the Fenian organization? that the Hibernian Society is not what it pretends to be, but a “circle” of the Fenian Brotherbood? and that the numerous protestations of innocence its members have made from time to time are but cloaks to cover up their real character? ‘We submit that these are revelations that cannot be ignored by the government if it is true to itself and to the country, Whatever influences may control the administration, cannot close its eyes to the fact that the document published, it be authentic—and it bears sufficient inter- nal proof of its correctness—shows that there is in our midst an agent of the ‘Fenian ation?’ as as try | who in Ireland has been sentenced to twenty years’ imprisonment for seeking to ‘‘compass the depo- ‘ition of the Queen, intepding to levy war upon her, ‘know- it e and inciting foreigners and strangers to invade Great Britain.” This man cannot to continue his dangerous work—dangerous, not because vf his personal in- fluence merely, but because of his connectim with an orga- ‘nization which, though i may be rent Ly internal dissensions, has sila lange money influence at its back, as is shown the list of receipts, from which we have made a couple selections. We call upon the gov.rnment to exercise their rightful autlvrity and ‘contrat in this mailer. The Canadian public require it at their hands. THE SERVICES YESTERDAY. Serm by Rev. Dr. Cheever, In the Church of the Puritans last evening Dr. Cheever preached upon the subject—‘A Friendly Warning from Jamaica."’ The text was selected from the Prophecies of Zephaniah, third chapter and tenth verse:—‘From be- yond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughters of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering.” It was one of the most surprising blindnesses of the people of the country that it has not yet done anything for the elevation of the colored race whom God had set free. It was scarcely possible to dwell upon the importance of this subject. It was wonderful with what apa- thy the churches and the federal government treated jis subject. It was almost a judicial thi blindness, Never was such an seen or witnessed. ‘The question is, will the nation forth its sepulchre of mag and pregudice; will it break the stale idol which has so long keps it in subjection to its behests against the colored race? The grand subject which hailed fast Thanksgiving day, and made it one of great thankegiving, was the interposition of Providence in rau four millions of slavesfree. The old idea that was the white man’s government was still maintained, as. might be seen from the mode of reconstructing the Southern States, by which the colored race were to be excluded from voting. This was a crime that will bring its own punishment. Contrast the treat. ment of these people with an instance he would refer to. <A general of the army was sentenced for crime to five years’ But the President int pardoned ‘of gallant services, But the colored soldiers, who had also served the country in the field of battle, when the ‘war was over—they claimed their wages and were refused. An order was issued that deprived the black soldiers of their bounty, because were slaves when they en- listed. Thus crime waa rewarded, and faithfal services punished. This was a prejudice and a wrong that God would punish. The President's system of reconstruction was to go back again to slavery to re-enact the black code—that none but whites should vote. He, the Presi- dent himself, bas so ordained that this is a white man’s government, and that none but rhijes should vote. stead of acting and rightly, has done evil be- le has left tothe reconstructed States tee power of passing an attainder on account of color. je bas conferred on those States a power which did not exist, The President was the assassin in th! the Lord will bold him sible for it. The Chief Magistrate might have tram) out slavery, might have rooted out serfdom, and the moral death of millions; he might have quenched the brand with his heel, but he did not, but left the mercies of their old masters. This the President has done; but he thanked God that Congress had taken time to consider this question. It was n to call to memory this terrible act and of the nation’s in- famy. It was not the spirit of the age that struck off the chains of the elaves, but the interposition and spirit of God. The spirit of this age no more did it than the spirit of the age of Pharaoh when bis people cried out to him, “Let the men go free to serve the Lord their God, or we ourselves will be di ed.’ The work of ele- vating the race which God had set free was a grand and noble work, and the question was, will the work be done? It was only for the government to give the word and the work would be done; but the government disinfranchises Joyalty and elevates treason. This must not be done or the nation 18 lost, The exclusion from their right to vote is the great bar that stands in the way of the elevation of the biack race. The religion and the people that submit to this is capable of any suicidal act. This was giving impunity to treason and setting a mark on loy- aity for suffering and oppression. It was the right of the government to give to the people y made citizens all the rights of citize » Southern States had no right to interfe treaty @ frond citizens of the govern the United Staies; the government has the sole right, and the obligation is impored upon it to defend and pro | lect its citizens from thoee who Wald defraud them of their rights, He would prefer to live under the most despotic goverminent in the world that could protect its | citizens in their rights, than live under a government like this, that cannot or will not protect its citizens, If color i8 a crime it must be tried, and conviction must be had, and sentence pronounced before penulty can be ex- ented. The nation has vot yet un to realize the great crime and injustice of this prejudice and op) of the black race—making them the pariahs and out. casts of society, while moral leprosy walks unscathed through t Tt was a monstrous hypocrisy to talk of re-establishing a republican form of government in Mexico while we deprive four millions of people at home Of the rights and privileges of republican citizens.

No insurrection—not the slightest evidence of preconcert or conspiracy—nothing but a simple riot, not nearly so bad as the riot which raged for three days in this cit; riot in which several persons were kill atfuir was a dehberate massacre of th ‘and carried to such an extent that upwards of two thousand persons have been shot, hung or other- wise murdered. The whole terrible tragedy was the result oc the thirty years of oppression to which the colored race on that island has been subjected, instead of their receiving the freedom and protection promised to them in the Act of Emancipation. A whole generation since then bas been educated vo regard the colored race ag mere mudsills, almost in the periection of that tench- ing of the late Ju aney’s, that “black men had no rights that white men were bound to respect."? Hence the dreadful tragedy that has been enacted in Jamaica, and God only knows how long that war of races will be continued there, unless that Britain does justice, God has risen ‘in behalf of the oppressed, and not in behalf of the oppressor, We, too, are re-enslaving the colored race, instead of giving them that protection which we guaranteed to them. We are pursumg the same carcer the colonial government did in Jamaica, ‘The greatest cause of exasperation in this matter is, that our own white race publicly declared before the whole world and before God, as a just cause of their rising in revolution against Great Britain, was that the right of voting was withheld from ‘them, and that they were made slaves thereby. Now, in’ proposing thus to re-enslave the whole colored race of the United States, we are deliberately marching to the same gulf of ruin, to the same riots, to the same discontent, and aiehy, and sedition, aud judicial murder; to battle and bloody combat between the races, which. bas been and still is waged in Jamaica. To prevent this must be the act of Congress in the present session, Congress must be appealed to for justice to the colored citizens of the country. ‘This is the great work before Congress, and he had a perfect retiance that they would be guided by the wisdom of Divine Providence in establishing jus- tice throughout the land. This must be the hope aud desire of all Christian men, and God grant that it be so. Services at St. Luke’s Hospital. . The usually interesting services of the Sabbath, at St. Luke’s Hospital, in Fifty-fourth street, near Fifth ave- nue, were enhanced yesterday afternoon by the presence of the Right Reverend Bishop Vail, of Kansas, ‘The eer- vices were commenced by the venerable pastor of the institution, who read the lesson for the day, selecting the fourteenth chapter of St. Paul to the Romans, after which he offered a beautiful prayer for the guidance of the congregation and also for the President and the Congre:s now in session; that the Almighty God might direct them and enlighten them as to the wis’st course to pursus towards the unity and preservation of the nation, A new advent hymn, entitled the ‘Advent Choral,” was then sung by the choir, after which Bisifp Vail, taking for his text tho twenty-fourth verse, first chapter St. Paul to the Corinthians, commenced by say- ing how blessed are we who belong to a church which reminds us of the first history of the Church, and that Christ crucified is to the Christian the power of God. From His birth He was Christ crucified. It was not alone in the actual cracifixion, which was but the consummation of a long promised tragedy which had long been pre- dicted, but nearly the eutire life of Christ was fall of suffering. He is also Christ the power of God. He the Bishop drew many beautiful pictures from Scripture, illustrative of the miracies of Christ during life, showing that even in His Jowly state as man He was at the sau time Christ the power of man. The right to govern the world is given to Him because of His humanity. man He knows all human frailties. Ho understands all our necessities and feclings. Christ has Himself said, “Verily, verily, I have suid to you, The hour is coming when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear shall live.” Who is He whose voice shall disturb the silence of the grave and gather them into His presence? Snrely it 1s not Christ, in His mere humanity as we have known Him, that humiliated Him- self for ns, for while He wants all the compassion for humanity, he is now arrayed in all His power as Chr.st the power of God. The reverend gentle- man then went on to quote from Scriptures the great- ness, power, glory and majesty of God. Christ on the ‘cross is our love—a love which produces such love upon the soul; upon the cross He speaks more strongly to the sinners who caused this great sacrifice. When ailicted most deeply in life, and all human consolation avail not, the yr sinner finds consolation at the cross, When we lie down to die it is the cross which Hlumines the dark valley of death; from the first breath of life to our last hour He it is he that sustains us. With a beautiful ex- hortation to his hearers to amend their lives during the holy season of advent, and to ask grace of Him who had died to save man, the Bishop concluded his sermon, After the usual doxology, the congregation, which was not very numerous, dispersed. City Mission and Tract Society. The Rev. Howard Crosby delivered the annual sermon im behalf of the City: Mission and Tract Society, at the Fourth avenue Presbyterian church, last evening. The preliminary statement of the secretary showed tae labors of the society during the past year, Its labors had 1 ed 43 missionaries, and 4,370 tamilies had been visi- ; 840,941 tracts, G£6 bibles, 834 testaments and 2,652 religious volumns had been distributed. There were 2,573 children attendants at the Sunday Schools, and 527 atthe day schools; 437 persons had given pledges of temperance, and 464 had been induced to join the church. ‘The receipts forthe year had been $27,108, an incouraging increase of 24 percent, The reverend gen- tleman in his sermon, traced the history, progress and perseverance of Paul in converting the citizens of Athens, a8 an illustrious model for the operations of the wiss:oua- ries in our own city. Coroner’s Inquests, Faran Kerosexe Exrtosion,—Coroner Collin yesterday held an inquest at No. 206 East Thirty-cighth street, on the body of Ann Cain, who died from the effects of barns received last Thursday evening. Deceased had filled a lamp with kerosene oil from a bottle, and, while holding the bottle uncorked over a hot stove, it exploded in her hand, setting fire to her clothes and’ burning her in the most fearful manner, ‘The action of the heat from the stove ie supposed to have caused the explosion.

Narrow Escars.—A youngster by the name of George Marston came near losing his life in a most ter- rible manner, while on his way home on Saturday after- noon, on board of one of the ferryboats that ply between this city and Williamsburg. The boat at the time was densely crowded by business men of this city on their b~ | to their homes on the other side of the river. Sev- boys had seated themselves on the deck at the bow of the voreel, allowing their legs to dangle over the sides, On nearing Williamsburg, contrary to the usual custom by the ferryboat pilots of allowing the boats to nd the force of their headway on the side logs and on gradually sliding into the wharf, the boat was straight for the wharf end. At this juncture a scramble ensued among the seated at the bow to get out of harm's way. All succeeded but Marston, who, in endeavoring to turn round, m'ssed his foothold and’ only saved him- self from failing into the river by clinging to the deck with his hands, his body hanging over the bow of the boat. In this frightful position, with the wharf but a few feet distant, he would have been crushed into a 2, but for the presence of mind of a fellow eer. hep pen) that it was too late to baal him up, pushed thé boy off into the water just a second before the boat came in contact with the wharf with a force that sent the crowds on the decks reeling together in a confused mass, The boat was immediately backed, and after considerable difficulty young Marston was hauled up safe and wet, but terribly frightened. Fortunately he was not exactly in the middle of the bow at the time he fell over, and thus escaped being struck by the boat. Died.
