FORNEIGN NEWS, The stoamship Hermann, from Southampton Way 23, arrived ot this port yesterday, bringing tiree days later news from Euroj Eneland, France and Russia had, on May 22, dispatched officinl invitations to & Congress in Paris to Austria, Italy and Prussia. The two latter Powers readily accepted; but Austria hesitated, and was said to bave unls rrll{ud to the urgent representations of England an Russin. The oflicial Dresden Journal, of May 21, stated that the Congress had boon agreed to by all the Powers and that the first meeting would be held on May 25, Warlike preparations continued in all the three coun- tries, and little hope was folt in the success of Congress. Prince Charles of Hohenzollern, the newly elected Fios- hodar of the Danubian Principalities, had suddenly mado Lu uppearance in that count and was received with great enthusissm, The Turks t reatened the l'nu«-l&nl\- ties with military occupation, and a crossing of the frous tier by their troops was regarded 6s Lwwineat GENERAL NEWS. rantine reports continue to wear a rather dubious look. On Saturday there were 26 now cholora eascs and 10 deaths; also, one case of yellow fover. Yesterday thero were 12 now cascs and 5 deaths, The yollow fover cases (it now appears there are several) ure improving. The cholera is reported to have broken out on the Portsmouth, two cases of that disorder and 30 of diarrhea being noticed on board that ship. Great excitement is said to prevail at and near Coney Tsland in consequence of reports prevailing that the Board of Health proposs taking a part of the islaud for Quaran- tine purposes. It is announced that the owner of the territory in question will cause forcible resistance to be made to any attempt at occupying the prewises for the use indicated. The Fenians have not only been defeated in their at- tempted invasion of Caunda, but their force, which was ¥ engaged, has fallen into the custodyof the United States, whose oflicers wore considering, at last accouuts, whst disposition should be made of them, Other plans of invasion are said to be looked for. The cou plaint against Capt. Calhoun of the schooner Active, for allsged cruelty to a cargo of turties from Florida, has been dismis: for informality. The case of two men arrested for cruel treatment of certain fowls which they were dressing for market will como before tue Police Cuurt on Thursday next. The music season_in Central Park began on Saturday, under highly auspicious circumstances. ‘The weather be- came clear at the right time, and the attendance wus very lursu indeed. The music fin\'w unqualified satisfaction, and reflected the utmost credit on all’ concerned in its per- formance. The Treasurcr of the Excise Board bad received, up to Saturday evening, $720,000. Applications for license go in very slowly, but on Friday next, or as soon thereafice s may be, tho Police will be directed to close upall liquor lllmpl ‘which way not have beca licensed under the now aw. ‘There are an unusual number of military parades an- nounced for the ensuing week, including a parade and ro- view of the entire Fourth Brigade on Wednesday afte noon, and au excursion of the First Brigade to East Ne York on Thursday. The Friends had very largo patherings at their place of worship in Twentioth-st. yesterday, on the occusion of their yearly meoting. Several of the most emincut of their wiisiors were prescat, somo of whom reside in distaut States. The Harvard Club played base-ball with the Active Club on Saturday and ware defeated; the score stands 24 and 15. The Star and Independent Clubs also played at South Brooklyn, and the former were the victors—46 to 24, The funeral excursions to West Point on Saturday were 1made use of by thieves to molest the pockets of the w suspecting to a considorable extent. Many and rich wer the returns enjoyed by the light-fingered gentry. There was & considerable decrease in the number of deaths in this city during last week, & fact, owing, perhaps, to the fact that greater care than usual was exer- cised 1n keeping the streets and houscs elean. In the course of an investigation on Saturday it came out that the practice was common among cigar manuface turers to put American cigars into boxes bearing Spanish warks, and sell them as imported goods.

During the last month, the premium on Gold has pretty steadily appreciated; begiuning at 264 and ending at 414. These be grave facts. They are full of admonition. Had our Currency been based on Specie, such a draft upon us for coin would have diminished all current values from 10 to 25 per cent., causing very general embarassment if not absolute staguation. As it is, the result is & sudden derangement of values, less obviously disastrous only because the loss is thrown on the creditor rather than the debtor interest, yet no loss pernicious and demoralizing. We cannot sober down the general mind to the ways of quiet, plodding industry while the medium wherein values are com- puted and debts are lignidated is so unstable as to fluctuate to the extent of 15 per cent. in & month. ‘We must get back to Specie Payment at a very early dnx. unless we aro content to settle down into a nation of gamblers, wherein every business operation is in essence & compound of sweat-cloth and thimble- rig. But the indispensable condition precedent of Specie Payment is a reduction of our Imports ti!l they range very considerably below our Exports, If Congress would but enact that, on and after the 18t day of January next, all the Treasury Notes of the United States should be redeemed in eoin at the Sub-Treasury in this City, the business of the country would instantly take notice and govern itself accordingly.

No mation ever vet established a new brauch of industry without in- vigorating and expanding old ones. If, for example, we could have had all our railronds made in Enrope for half what they have actually cost us, we should have been poorer to-day than we are; and the princi- ple applies to rails as well as to roads. Give us a TacifT that means something; and, in order to make it mean something, decree and provide for an early roturn to Specie Payment. TRIAL OF JEFFERNON DAVIS. Messrs. 0'Conor and Shea, counsel for Jefferson Davis, have gone o Richmond to attend the opening there of the U. 8. Circuit Court this morning; and it is understood that they intend to bring the case of their client to trial if possible. If this be denied, they will endeavor to procure his liberation on bail. Richmond was evacuated by the Rebel Govern- ment on the night of April 2, 1865, Lee surrendered on the 9th. Johnston's final surrender followed on the 26th, The President’s proclamation, charging Jeff. Davis with the assassination of President Lin- coln and offering §100,000 for his capture, appearsd May 2. His capture near Irwinsville, Georgia, tock place May 10; aud he was delivered at Fortress Mox- roe May 19. For more than a year, therefore, he has Deen iu the hands of the Government, and imprisoned directly underits eye. It is not conceivable that any farts bearing essentially on his guilt on innocence remein to be discoveted or established. The President his officially proclaimed the Rebellion suppressed and the Warat an end. All his fellow prisoners, including one or more who were like charged with com- plicity in President Lincolns assassination and te- wards offered for their capture, have been liberated without trial. If Mr. Davis is tobe tried—as it seems to us be ought to be—we can imagine no reason for deferring bis trial. If he has been unjustly proclaimed an as- sassin, he should somehow be relieved from the blast- ing inculpation. And, if'he is not to be tried, but is merely held until public sentiment will admit of his liberation, we protest against the policy as unworthy. | The people of this country are not children. They do not need to be hoodwinked and plaged with. If a full year's inquiry has developed no evidence justify- ing an indictment for any other crime than treason, and if it is judged not best to try bim in Vi some other State for treason, let us stop boarding and lodging him at the public cost. Even if the object of his imprisonment were to render him th le idol of the late Rebels, making them forget all faults in their sympethy for his condition, it has already been fully achieved. him or let him go. TREE-PLANTING. Africa has her Sabara; Asia her Arabian sands and vast Tartar *Steppes” or lofty, naked table-lands behind the Himalayan range; but America probably excoeds either in the extent of her arca rendered un- inhabitable by civilized man because of their arid desolation. ‘This need not be, and must not continue. *The Plaius” are not all sterile. Their soil is full of alka- line sabstances which strongly conduce to f«‘rti‘d). Salt Lake City is built on & bench or ** swale" feet above sea-level and nearly inclosed by lo monntains, and no tree had grown on this or any kindred tract within human tradition till the Mormons settled th and now—Dbeing irrigated—it is em- bowered in shade and fruit trees, It might more easily have been converted into a dense forest. And we judge that there is nospot on the coatinent between latitude where living water can be procured which cannot be readily covered with trees. Where water cannot be had, the case is more difficult; yet the Red most sterile mountains; while the Redwood and per- pendent of water. Fire is the chicf enemy of forests and dry regions, and had doubtless been dealing with them as man is now dealing with the Buffalo for centurics. We saw ample evidence that Timber was formerly less scarco on the Plains and in the Great Basin than it now is, while in all the Prairie States where roads and settle- ments bave limited the sweep of prairie-fires, there is a steady inorease of Timber. We do not say (as many do) that Tilinois has more timber growing to-day than she bhad fifty years ago; but we do say that her timber i8 far better distributed than in 1815, and thus better adapted to the needs and uses of mankind. Mr. Donnslly of Minnesota has submitted to the House & bill *‘To encourage experiments in the growth of forest treos on the Weetern Plains,” which has some excellent features. It proposes to grant 200,000 acres of Public Lands to the Ottawa Indian Univorsity of Kansas, on condition that they shall within five years plant at least 40,000,000 forest trees over an area of not less than 10,000 acres of public lands on the Great Plains. This is most desirable, aud we do not grumble at the cost; but we think the bill should provide that the trees be planted in tracts of not more than 40 acres each; no tract within less than 100 miles of any other, and that they shall be per- manently protected against fires. If they be not thus protected, planting them will do no good. Then the lands so planted should be reserved by the act from preémption by or sale to individuals or companies. And the bill should further make it the duty of every commandant of a military post located on or near publie lands of the United States to plant at least ten acres of forest per annum, being supplied with seeds from the Bureau of Agriculture at Washington. We trust that this subject is not to be lost sight of till each 100,000 acres of treeless Public Lands shall have at least ten young forests growing upon it, care- fully protected from depredation and from fires, the Iaid Fire Department. We will make short work with both. We propose that the Insurance Companies shall appoint a Vigilance Committee of three or more of their officers to scrutinize the operations of the Fire Department for a month or so, and report thereon, and that the Companies shall therefrom make such recommendations of changes or otherwise as to them shall seem proper. Such changes, thus recommended without reference to politics or parties, shall have our hearty support; and we have no doubt that, whether they be within the power of the Chief-Enfgineer, the Commissioners, the Governor,or the Legislature, they will be promptly and thoroughly made, Meantime, we hold that the Fire Department of our City has not for twenty years before been so absolutely blameless, 80 free from political intrigue, and so thoroughly effi- cient, as it has been and is under our present Paid sys. tem. Still, we shall be glad to have it improved wherever it can be; and, to this end, we will support any changes which the Insurance Companies shall on due investigation recommend.

But the ex-Rebels may honor their dead to any extent without provoking an objection from Tne TRIBUNE. THE FENIAN MOVEMENT. The leaders of the Fenian movement in America have at last sneceeded in creating an excitement, and their enterprise again commands the attention of the public. 1t is sad to thiuk that this movement should ot last have led to manslaughter, The sight of blood appeals 80 strongly to that bodily yearning for battle whiol is said to belong peculiarly to meu of the Coltic | race, that with proper discipline and organization the Fenians might have made an annoying, and, perbaps, successful invasion of Canada. The moment that one man fell on the Canada line—shedding real blood m what thus far has been little more than a fantastie, imaginary canse—the heart of every Irishman yearned to go to his side to share his fate or avenge his memory. 1t is not for us to speak with levity of a cause for which men have died and are even now suffering the agonies of death, We have felt that any systematic, goneral, well-managed movement on behalf of Ireland must come from other influences than those of the Fenian Brotherhood. The system of secresy, terror and assassination which has been created by certain leaders in Ireland is not calculated to win for that poor country the sympathies of mankind. Nor will ma] expeditions, like those so elaborately detailed to- day, for the capture of & country which few Irishmen would care to occupy if captured, hasten the hour when an Irish Parliament shall meet on College Green. According to our dispatches it seems that a gene- ral movement was made last week toward the Cana- dian frontier, under the direction of General Sweeney. Different points were threatened, but the principal movement was from Buffalo to a place known as Fort Erie—a little Canadian town, known as a port of en- try—and the southern terminus of the Grand Trunk Railroad. This point, with its earthworks, was cap- tured, when a party commanded by Colonel O'Neill advanced to a place called Ridgeway—with designs upon the locks of the Welland Canal. Here Colonel O'Neill encountered a small body of Canadian volun- teers and British regulars, The Fenians were appwently successful—only to be defeated and routed. Instead of making & stand, or awating reénforcements, or even issuing & proclamation, the column hastily retreated to the river and endeavored to eross in a scow. Here the extzemo anxiety of our Government to prevent any breach of neutrality was shown in the capture of the scow by a United States revenue cutter. It is | said that the luckless Fenians are held to await the plessure of Sir Frederick Bruce. This must certainly be a mistake, as we are not aware of any treaty which gives the British Minister the right to demand politi- cal fugitives fram the American Governments We do not know what the next step will be, There are rumors of other raids upon different points of | extended Canadian line. Ogdensburg seems to !inviting, likewise St. Albans, We do not imagine that s serions assault will be made at either point | The Fenians have plenty of men, but their guus are | generally scized, and they bave no cannon.

Withont saying that affaiza at Q atine are so bad a8 they were in Southern prisons, we may safely say they are bad gh to be disgraceful to the Gity and State, and to demand & prompt remedy. The arrival of the Union and Peruvian last week, with cholers on board, Liss brought to publie notice the continued inadequacy of quarantine arrangements. When the Virginia ¢ and uothing was ready for her, the excuse was offered that her appearance was sudden, and that no time had been allowed for preparation. A month has since elapsed, and the arrival of two smaller ships with fewer sick finds the quarantine of- | ficers and the Board of Health no more ready than they were before. There is uo place where patients | can be tanded. The accommodations on board the hospital ghips, wretclied as they are at best, are une- qual to the demand for them. The Falcon has scant room for scventy-fivo patients. On Saturday she had one bundred and four on board. She lies at anchof eight miles bolow Staten Island, exposed to wind and sea, and for patients ill with a disease that requires above all other restora- tives the medicine of quiet, is littlo bettéer than a coffin. On the ships that brought the cholers, the passengers who, before reaching this harbor, had es- caped it, are confiued on the decks where the diseas was bred, and the inevitable consequence is that 25 or 30 sicken daily, and daily half that number die. They are vietims, not of the cholera particularly, but of the gross incompetenco and mismanagement that has neglected, afier ample waruing, to provide u proper quarantine on shore. The ecessity for both sick and well is to get on shore. To keep them on board ship is barbarous and stupid, and rivals the inhumanity of Genoa last yeur, which thonght it cheaper to let the sick die than to save them, or the savage panic of some of the Medi- terranean islands, where cannon were trained on the cholera ships to sink them if the prisoners should overpower the guards. We all romember the pitiful appeals last Winter from the penned-up passengers of the Atalanta. Dr. Parker now tells us that their deten- tion was needless, and that it would be perfoctly ¢ to let the well on board the Union and Peruvian come on shore—certain proper precautious heing first taken Dr. Swinburne says the reason why no place on shore has been provided is because the people of Long Island, Staten Island, and New-Jersey threaten yiolence if anything in the nature of a quarantine is established near them, It strikes us that presonts a distinct issue which somebody should be willing to accept. If a quarantine is necessary, of which there can be no doubt, it must have leave to exist some- where. Local prejudices must yield to the general welfare. There aro three or four places which all the anthorities agres are perfectly adapted for quarantine purposes. What is the use of a Government if the Government cannot in such an emergeney take possession of one of them ! The Legislature of New-York, we are told, refused to give the quarantine officers the power to seize a part of Long Island; the Legislature of New-Jersey refused to allow Sandy Hook to be appropriated; and the United States Government has a title to Sandy Hook only en condition that it shall not be nsed for quaran. tine, Miserable excuses, all of them, Four years of struggle for the right to exist as a nation have taught us the valuo of the legal maxim that regard for the public welfare is the highest law. The property, lib- orty, and even lifs of the individual may be sacri- ficed, in certain circumstances, for the public good. When a firo threatens the destruction of a city, we don't wait {or au euactment to blow up the nearest houses. ‘The common law and the rules of publio policy make it legal. When President Lincoln, on the surrender 0f‘ Sumter, called 75,000 wen to acme, | there was not the shadow of a statute to justify his demand. Down to the meeting of Congress in July he scarcely did a Constitutional act, yet who doubts that his supreme duty was to save the nation at the expense of forms? The letter would have killed; the spirit kept us alive. Under the same higher law, we would have this quarantlne question settled. Whatever is nocessary for the safety of the public, it is somebody’s duty to do. 'We offer no advice a8 to the choice of Coney Island, or Staten Island, or Sandy Hook, or any other place a3 a site for quarantine; we only urge that some placo shall bo chosen. Probably the U. S. authorities can deal most easily and thoroughly with such a matter, If it be neces- sary to forfeit their title to Sandy Fook by putting a quarantine on it, then forfeit it, The Courta will settle the law questions by and by; meantime hund- reds of lives will be saved, and perhaps a continent protected from pestilence. If New-Jersey throatens violence, as we presume she may, let Mr. Stanton send a regiment to guard the hospitals. If the Board of Health or the Quarantine Commissioners will take Coney Island, or any other place within the jurisdic- tion of New-York, let Governor Fenton surround it with militis, and then let him go to the people on the necessity of the case for his justification. We bave no doubt of their verdict. We have no doubt of a popular approval of any Executive act in reference to this cholera question, that shall be based on a regard for the public welfare and required by an inevitable necessity. The thing the people will not tolerate is a continued inactivity, discussion, and display of helplessness in the presence of an im- pending danger that can only be controlled by prompt courage, and by an inflexible determination to protect the public health at any cost. THE COMPLICATIONS IN EUROPE. France, in concert with England and Russia, has, as length, succeeded in prevailing upon Prussia, Tealy and Austria to acoept the proposed Cougress. Aus- tria long hesitated, and its official acceptance had not yet been announced; but it was semi-officially stated to have at length yielded to the urgent representa- tions of the other Great Powers. The deliberations of Congress will, of course, delay the outbreak of hostilities a fow weeks; but few are sanguine enough tohope that it will succeed in solving the difficulty and averting the impending war. While thus the immediate outbreak of hostilif in Italy and Germany is adjourned, the complication in the Danubian Principalitics has become much more serious. The young Prince Charles of Hohenzollern has not only “ccepted the offered Hospodarship, but he has su/lienly appeared in the Principalities, to the mmense delight of the National party, and made his entry into Bucharest. In a letter to the Turkish Go! ment he had declared his desire to respect the treaties which bind the Principalities to ‘Turkey, but the Turkish Governfhent showed no dis- position to negotiate with him, and had declared its intention to occupy the Principalities by military force. Troops were being concentrated by the Gov- ernments both of the Principalities and of Turkey; and rumors of new sangninary conflicts were circulat- ing. War, for the pre ent, appeared more imminent n Turkey than in Germany. s THR RICKETS IN BESOLUTIONS, The shape which an Awerican opinion or emotion takes is that of a Resolution. First, you have “Wherens"—then * Therefore”—then, as ultimate clencher, * RusoLvep.” A great proportion of our slitical history is to be found in this form—it is the ultimate condensation of convention—public pug- nacity and indignation boiled down—social opinion reduced to a brief—party promises minimized to 8 convenient form—the promissory note, in fact, which s sometimes taken up, and sometimes lagsover. In theory, the concateuation above set forth must be preserved, but in practice, as becomes tions of freemen owing allegiance no more sy Murray thad to any other old-fashioned tood tyrant, the ** Whereas" need not, and Iy has not, the remotest connection with fore.” This independence may not sel- observed in resolutions passed by engine com- panies returning from a friendly visit to other engine companies, while the knob of the whole, the moral i, 50 to speak, of the document, the ** Resolu- f, is sometimes of the most straggling and heterogeneons variety, as for instance: *Resolved, That wo shail long cherish our reception by Mobawks No & Their kindnews can never be forgotten.

But mark that he was also *‘the very personification of & truly great and good man"—i. e., he was the very personification of a person! We say sometimes that a man is the very personification of valor, or trath, or of gallantry, but Gen. Scott was, it secms, the very personification either of him- self or of somebody else. Gettingidown, however, to “ good man,” we find the ** whereas” giving out and censing to do daty.

For thstance, ** whereas” Gen.

We do not mean tosay, however, that the Alder- men are much worse than other people, at least in the matterof resolution-mongering. We have a large and curious collection of amputated **Whereases" and inconsequent ** Thorefores” and semi-detached “Resolveds.” 1f people did but know what stuff of this sort is sent to us to print, and what weary work and dire labor it is to put it into a tolerably present- ablo shape, they would appreciate the sincerity with which we aver, in the face of all the world, that & nominative case should have a verh, and that it is not fair to, leave friendless and deserted adjectives to mourn for their wandering or ravished nouns.
