An article on the ball season which appears in another Part of this morning's Huzatp shows how largely dano- ing has entered into the amusements of our people during the present season, In the twenty-two weeks since the opening of the season in November last there ‘have been about six hundred balls in the metropolis, being an average of nearly thirty per week, which have ‘been attended by four hundred thousand porsons, at an estimated expenditure of seven miliions of dollars, Thongh the season is drawing noar its closo, thore are many balls yet to take place in the city. Among the cases receiving the attention of our police magistrates yesterday were those of two Brazilians, giving thoj namos as Charies Peterson and William B, Eather, 10 were committed on charge of having for some timo past been engaged in systematically robbing boarding houses of large quantities of clothing and other valuables. Andrew Shoney and Driscoll & Cusick, junk dealers, of Nos, 418 and 343 West street, respectively, were charged with having purchased a considerable quantity of wool Drought to this port from Brazos, Texas, on board tho schoonof Irena Packer, of which it is alleged the cap- tain, J. H. Phinney, who has not yet been arrested, at- tempted to defraud the underwriters by pretending that he had been compelled to throw this amount of the cargo overboard ina storm. Daniel Coffee, allas Thomas Brown, was committed on a charge of being one of three Persuns who, on the night of the Sist of August last, in Bond street, robbed Mr. David E. Anderson, of 94 Riving- ton street, of a considerable quantity of jewelry, and beat him in asovere maauner, Henrietta Moddell, of 2s Rivington street, was required to give ono thousand dollars bail to answer a charge ot throwing vitriol in the face of Joseph K. Miller, severely injuring him, in con- seqnence of a breakfast table difficulty, Coroner Gover yesterday took the ante-mortem state- mont of Herman Goetz, of No, 11 Cherry street, who re- ceived a pistol shot wound from the effects of which he is not oxpected to recover during a quarrel on Thursday nightin the drinking platé 93 Canal street, A few wit- nesses were also examined, after which Charles O*Nolll, who is charged with having fired the pistol, was re- manded to await the resnit of Goetz’s injuries. An inqnost was yesterday heid over the body of Daniel Samson, lato of 205 West Fourteenth street, who on Friday night was found Jying tu a vacant lot-adfoming Ais rexidonco, ho having, it appears, been killed by fall. : ing from a second atory window whilesuffering from an attack of vertigo.

SSS eee THE FENIAN UPRISING. ‘Tho excitement in Fenian circles, social and political, {n the motropolis, as well as throughout the country, had not abated yesterday, but had, on the contrary, st-adily increased. New circles were forming, and the rival fac- tions were healing the old wounds of former strife, and were coming together under the emergency of Iretan’s + diffteulty, Pecuniary aid was forthcoming, and fifty thousand dollars were yesterday subscribed to the loan of tho Irish republic. Preparations were making in the “city for the grand demonstration to-day at Jones’ Wood; but, as will be seon in another column, Archbishop MoCloskey has vetoed the proceed- ings. From the Wost we learn that a Fenian naval squadron is fitting out at Chicago, ana the Green flag has already been given to tho broeze on the waters of Lake Michigan. From circles and leaders, from ail fac- tions and sides the Fenian war cry is sounding. Every- whore throughout the country, and from the principal cities In all sections, we have accounts of monster myei- ‘ings, marked by great onthusiasm and a stromg determi- nation to assist in the liberation of the Emerald Isle. The European mails by the steamship Asia arrived in this city last night, and put us in possession of the latest developments of the movement on the oth r side of the Atlantic up to the evening o” the day on which the suspension of the habeas corpus act was carrid into effect. We publish in fuil the debate which took place ’m the British Parliament when the measure was intro- duced, The proceedings were rendered notable by the ‘confeasions of shame and ‘hunilliation, for English milagovernment of Ireland) with which men like ‘Bright’ and Stuart Mull \eccompanted their tacit Consent to thé measure, | It was also noticcabic that Messrs. Roebuck, Horsmup and others, who did ther ‘est to aid rebellion in Amorica, wero loudest in the r condemnation of robollion fm Ireland. Tho London preas speak of the situation in most alarming tones, Feara are expressed that the Irish army, militia and Police are all aliko tainted with Fenianism, and the Lon- don Post announces that the government intend to fol- ow up tho suspension of the Haboas Corpus by a bill an- ‘thorising the seizure of all the Irish telegraph linea. CONGRESS. A MAJONLY oF the CuUyrEsctUUAt Reconstruction mittos have agr:od toa report in favor of admitting tho representatives from Tennessee, which will be submiited to Congress on Monday, and on Tuesday those gontlomen. will probably take their rospoctivo seats in the Sonate aud House of Representatives, There was no session of the Senate yesterday. The House of Representatives was in session, but the pr>- cocdings consisted entirely of the delivery of speeches on the President's message and reconstruction. The attend- ance of both members and gallery auditors was sio.il; but several gontiomen spoke, and considorable animation ‘was given to the debate by the cross firing botwoon tho Gomocratic and republican sides, ' THE LEGISLATURE. A pumber of matters were before the State Senate yes- torday, but they wero principally of only local or private interest, Among a few measures introduced were bills to require preservation of statistics of the jails of the Bate, stipulating the fees of physicians for post mortem examinationsand investigations in cases of lunacy, and rogulating tho routes of tho Broadway Stage Company. By a resolution adopted the Attorney General was re- quested to furnish an opinion as to whether railroad companies have right to manufacture articles not Intended for their own use or to store prop: erty not designed for transportation. Another serics of Teconstruction resolutions was introduced and referred to the select Committee on Nationa! Affairs, They favor tho continuance of the Freedmen's Bureau, declare it the duty of the President and Congress to secure the freed- men protection of their civil rights, express a desire for an carly restoration of the rebel States to their former relations, but oppose the admission to Congress from them of persons who took a conspicnons part in the rebellion, and assert that it is the right and duty of the President to maintain military control of said States ‘until their loyalty has become assured. In tho Assombly there were reported from committees the bills to facilitate the construction of the Midland Railroad from this city. to Oswegg, to prevent the frauda- Jout manufacture ot kerosene oll, equalizing the com- ponsation of Supreme Court Judges, regulating fare on Now York and Brooklyn street railroads, and incorpo- rating tho Brooklyn Matnal Gas Company. An adverse Teport, which was agreed to by the House, was made on the bill to incorporate the Travellers’ Club of this city. Bills were introduced amending tho Metropolitan Health Commission act, and the Rank. ing Dopartmnt act. A resolution favoring intelligence 45 tho basis of the exorcise of tho olective franchise, and Foquesting our Congressional representatives to support A constitutional amendment to that effect, was presented. Tho bills limiting tho tenaro of office in the National Guard, allowing grand and petit jurors compensation of two dollars per day, and amending tho Revived Statutes Folative to the olection of ofcors of corporations, wore ordered to third reading. THE CITY. ‘The waters arownd our city were yonterday again on. veloped with a dense fog, almost suspending navigation fora time, excepting on the ferries, andon some of these the boats temporarily stopped ranning, while on those which continued their connection the trips wero much fewer than usual. No vessels arrived from sea by way of Sandy Hook during the day. No serious acol- Gonts In consequence of the fog are reported. The committes of the Board of Aldermen appointed to consider the subject of bridging Broadway met yostor- day apd received several plans for constructing a bridge At the intereection of Broadway*and Fulton street.

The Texas Reconstruction Convention is still at work on the State constitution, The great majority of the secession members, wo aro informed, voted for pro- visions placing the freedmen on an equality with the whites in reference to civil rights, punishment for crimes and testifying in the courts, The Indian Commitice have Teported im favor of a treaty for mutual benefits with the Creek and Chickasaw Indiana.

The politicians of the countfy are still sore- ly exercised and deeply agitated over the President’s veto message and his bold speech delivered to the people at the national capital on Washington’s birthday. Andrew Jobnson had borno so long and ao patiently the studied insults of the radical faction in Congress, had quietly submitted to their encroachments upon the prerogatives of the Executive, and taken no steps to arrest their work of disunion, that the Jacobins began to believe that he had neither the courage nor the ability to contend with them, or attempt to arrest their schemer. The veto was therefore unexpected and fell like & bombshell in thelr camp. Before they could recover from the consternation which this pro duced they were again stirred.up by his masterly speech from the stops of the Executive Mansion. The effect of the veto and the speech has been to dostroy the old party lines, and to cause an upheaving of the ic ele- ments elmost equal to that caused by the bom- bardment of Fort Sumter. The great ques- tion which now agitates the politicians. both in and out of Congress is, where shall they go in the future? These events havo de- monstrated to the politicians that they cannot shape the issues to suit themselves, but that a higher power has defined what the issaos shall be. It is thus that the President by a bold and masterly stroke has opened the way for the for- mation of the great constitutional party which shall govern the country. His record, past and present, furnishes the platform for such a party, and gives to the people thé rallying point for future political struggles for the main- tenance and preservation of the Union. The facts which we published a few days since, taken in connection with the recent events at Washington, are sufficient to show that his plat- form is broad enough, long enough and deep enough for every true Union man tostand upon and successfully contend with the enemies of the republic in whatever guise they may come. Not the least remarkable feature of all this is, that the same manifestations of approval by the people marked the utterances of Mr. Johnson now as on former occasions. There were the same manifestations of applauso from the gal- leries in response to his clear defence of the principles of the government in his lato veto message, as thoso which characterized his as- saulis upon the radical disunionisis and secea- sionists in 1861. Their echoes will be caught up by thepeoplo now as then and roverberate throughout the countty. Already we see un- mistakablo ‘evidences that be as struck the’ popular chord, and that in erra‘gning the Norihern revolutionists before the bar of pub- lic opinion be has touched the key note that will shape political events and secure the final snecess of his administration. We.see ti in the effor ts of members of legislatures and _politi- cians on the stump to attach, in some way, their future policy to the “President's skirt. Nor need we look beyond’ Congress for proof of this fact. Many of the republicans in both houses who have bocn led away from the clear ly defined principles of their by tho de- lusive theories of Stevens and Su are now trying to grope their way back through the mist which surrounds them to fhe point which they started from, when Andrew Johnson was made their candidate. Evory day’s developments furnish additional proof of the wisdom of Presideut Jobnson in marking out the policy of his administration. Not only is bis present course consistent with his past record, but it is alsojy accord with. the decrees and decisions of the Baltimore Conven- tion, which nominated him. This shows the folly of the representatives of that party in Con- gress accepting the disunion heresies of the radical disorganizers of that body. That party has made a record during the war euch as no other party, either in this or any other c@untry, has ever secured for itself, Tad it been true to itself, it could have beon the reling power of the nation for generations to come. But it has wandered so far from its principles and become so thoroughly identified with the revo- lutionary echemes of the Jacobin faction, that itis doubtful if it can ever again recover its prestige, but must givo way for the great constitutional party which will now rally around Andrew Jobnson’s policy and platform. The resolute stand of the President on the constitution of the country, his bold de- fiance of both secessionists and disunionists, is the bugle note which will arouse the loyal masses everywhere, and cause them to shake off old associations, cut loose from old combi- uations and unite in the popular movement to reassert the principles of our government, The people sustained him when he made war on the secessionists, and they will now stand by bim in his struggle with the disunionists. While his course in this respect meets with public approval, he has offered the only truc solution of the troublesome question in refer- ence to the freedman. Amidst all the mist and confusion which the radicals have thrown around this subject, we find his record clear and satisfactory. The radicals have been en deavoring to force upon the country, under the protege of friondship for the negro, a policy srhich Senator Boollihe stated in hi New Haven «pecch that the hero “General Grant informed him would result in a war of extermination of the blacks.” While this is unquestionably true, the letter of the President to Governor Sharkey by way of advice on this very sub- ject, which we recently published, points out ® way for a safe and speedy solution of this question, which can in no way endanger the interests of any portion of ont people or any | of the numerous interests of the country. Taking all these facts together, where can there be found o better or safer platform for a great party to organize upon than the speeches, mes sages and letters of Andrew Johnson? Where is the man better qualified for the leader of the constitutional party, which, from the very nature of the situation, must from this time forward take the helm of the government and guide us through the shoals and breakers which surround ns? The democratic party is dead and buried. The republican has, by wandering off aftor fulse gods, destroyed itvelf, and out of its ruins must spring the party which is to restore the conntry amd bring prow perity to every roction, The President and those republicans who stood by him in the Senate Lave furnished the nucleus for that party.

England too isa great power, but not in the same sense as the others, and not so tauch at present as in the past relatively to the other three. England is great in manufacture, in coumerce, in the strength of mind and character of hor people, in many of her inati- tations, in her colonial empire, in her power of colonizing new countries and building up new States, and in other things that might be men- tiqned; but at the present time her weight is not so great in the affairs of the world, nor does she represent those mighty, agtive princi- ples of national life which exercise a powerful influence upon the fate of the world asdo those other Powers. She has not inher what the United States and Russia have—the germs of a grand future destiny. She may console her self, however, in this, that the greatest of all— he United States—is her offspring. In speaking hus proudly of our country. we do so in antici- ation of its inevitable grand destiny ‘as well as in view of its present position. The vast area of the United States, little leas than that of all Europe, with a variety and boundlessness of productions not found in any other part of the globe, would make it a mighty country if peopled by any other civilized nation or under almost any form of government. But when we look at the character of our people, their intelligence, their energy, their industry and their ambition, there appears to be hardly any limit to the future overshadowing great- ness of the republic. No form of government stimulates the energies and ambition of every class of society so much as the republican. Class or other adventitious distinctions do not exist here to bar or obstruct the way to wealth or fame to the poorest and humblest. This state of equality, freedom and rivalry puts the faculties and industry of the whole community into intense action. A few millions of popu- lation, under such circumstances, do as much as many millions under different circumstances. In 1860 the population of the United States was about thirty-three millions. In 1870, tour years hence, it will be forty millions, probably, notwithstanding the war. Tiis is greater than the population of Great Britain, equal to that of France, and only less than that of éne of the great civilized Powers of the world—Russia, Forty millions of free, independent Americans are equal tq sixty or eighty millions of the clase-ridden, oppressed and poor of Europe, either im material development orin war. In every point of view, thon—in the variety and boundless resources of the country—in the nature of the people, and in the character of our institutions, which stimulate activity and ambition, we are to-day the first Power in the world. ‘Phe only doubt about our future was as to the cohesiveness of such a large popula- tion spread over a great continent. That is settled now. The war has shown our ability to hold together. Though we occupy a conti- nent we have an insular position on the globe, and are all the stronger, fof our own peace and progress, from being separated by vast occans from other great nations. At the same time the railroads, telegraph, steam navigation, and our magnificent system of interior rivers and lakes enable us to concentrate our power and preserve our unity over thousands of miles of territory. But our greatest strength lies in the strong common sense of the people. We have our troubles, factions, corrapt politicians, and other evils, which are incidental to every com- munity and every state of society, but we have a corrective to these in the practical good sense of the people. And here we may men- tion President Johnson as being eminently a representative man as regards this mental characteristic of Americans. He has a quick, intuitive perception of what is proper or right, and he reasons not upon mere theories but upon sound principles and practical experience of life. No man hates humbug or pretence more, and he is not easily humbugged. He is, too, @ representative man in other respects, From the humblest position in life he has raised himself step by step to the highest sta- tion. Thus, like almost every American, he was the architect of his own fortune. He is a man of strong convictions, inflexible honesty, and great firmness. His sympathies are es- pecially with the industrial masses, He is purely American, without the least taint of foreign ideas or manners; he is patriotic in the highest degree, and his mind is vividly im- pressed with the idea that this country will have the grandest destiny. Such is the man whom Providence has raised up to be Presi- dent in the most trying period of our history. Though his origin be humble, and though his habits and bearing be plain and simple, as tho forms of our republican institutions are, he is grand in his character and office.

Russia, also, is steadily progressing in power and influence. She is pushing her vast dom‘n- fons into Central Asia, and waits only for some fortunate accident to gain control of the Darda- nelles and penetrate into Asia Minor, She rests secure in her semi-Arctic home, knowing that no combination of hostile Powers can reach her. They might trouble her at some of her extremities, but it would be only like prick ing the skin of an animal while the vitals re- main untouched. The war in the Crimea, which cost France and England so much blood and treasure, was‘only a scratch upon the sur face. The great empire, resting upon an im- movable and unapproachable base at the north, is protected and is always looking to- wards the south, The Russian government and every Rassian believe in a future gréat destiny, and are always pushing forward to reach it, Looking at the progress of Russia and her ambition, we 46 not doubt she will be, at no very remote period, the controlling power of Asta.
