[BX ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.] DEBATE TS THE ENGTISH HOUSE OF COMMONS ON THE TRISH QUESTION-OBDINATION OF AMERI? CAN BISHOPS-A NEW POLITICAL PAMPHLET TN FRANCE-ITALY BEJECT8 THE ADVICE OF NAPO? LEON-RIOT TN MsBMBs-SENTENCE OF FE? NIANS, Aa LONDON, March 17.-Recent developments lead to the belief that the attempt of the Fe? nians to induce soldiers ol the regular army to forsake their allegiance and join the ranks of their organization has not relaxed, but is still carried on, not only ?D Ireland, butin England and Scotland. A man named Manon, said to be a Fenian military organizer, has just been arrested in this city, charged with having en? deavored to swear in soldiers stationed here as Fenians. Rumor has it that Manon's efforts have not been unattended with some degree of success, and that the evidence to be ad duced at his trial will show dissatisfaction to prevail to an alarming extent in some of the Irish regiments. In the House of Commons last night the de? bate on the Irish reforms was resumed in Com? mittee of the Whole. Mr. Gregory, the mern ber for Galway, arose in support of Mr. Ma? guire's resolution, and denounced the long continned English misgovernment of Ireland Of this, he said, there seems to be no end, for now, when the Irish people ask for reform in the land, in the church, and in the educational systems, the ministers evaded their demands, and offered them other changes which they did not want. He denied that there were any persons among the Roman Catholic clergy who favored the present system of national schools. Mr. Gladstone said the Irish tenants were wanting in enterprise, and should be encour? aged by every possible means in making im? provements on their farms. As to the Church establishments, it was the duty of the ministers of the Crown to mark out and submit a definite plan for the treatment of that subject, and meanwhile the Parliament should lose no time in declaring itself in favor of religious equality in Ireland. He entertained hopes that the Ministry fairly realized the gravity of the crisis. It was vain to rely on time as a cure for the evil. Seven hundred years had thus been wasted. The Irish inhabitants of Canada and Australia were contented, and the great reason for their content was that they possessed the fruits of their own labor and enjoyed civil and religious equality. But in Ireland the discon? tent was wide and deep. The alleged material prosperity of Ireland was a proof of this, for, notwithstanding the improving condition of the country, as described by some of the gen? tlemen who had preceded bim, no one seemed surprised that ireland should complain at the same time of their misery. The crisis was a grave one, not only on account of ihe rapid de? population of the island by emigration, but on account of the condition of those who remain? ed in the country. It was the imperative duty of the Government to give this subject their early and earnest attention. Mr. Gladstone then proceeded to review, one by one, the measures of relief which the Ministry had pro- B posed for Ireland. The only one which he. c approved of was that for political reform. He " said in 1815 the adoption of a bill for the relief of the Irish tenants was urgently pressed by Sir Robert Peel without success, and all efforts made since that time to create a similar meas? ure had failed. He deprecated an inquiry into the Irish Church establishment. It was known that that sjstem was generally disliked. He ridiculed tho excuses for delay in this matter given by the government, and closed hie speech with an appeal to the House to take immediate action. Mr. Disraeli followed. He commenced by saying he had come to deplore his fate in at? taining to office when a crisis of seven hundred years standing had to be settled. A supernat? ural emergency. Even the Ministry which pre . ceded that of Lord Derby had neglected these wrongs of ages. He then went on to combat the ?argument of Mr. Gladstone against five out of the six measures embraced in the govern? ment plan for the relief of Irish grievances. He denied that the action of the Fenian organi? zation controlled events or affected the plans of the Ministry. Fenian outrages should prompt no measure and hasten no policy. The members of the House, he hoped, were not alarmed by the speeches of men who, when in power, did nothing but make speeches, some for Ireland, and some for the Irish Church. He admitted that the Btate of the Irish Church establishment was satis? factory; but why should they unsei le a system which had bean in operation for three hundred years, under the influence of a panic. He de? clared that if pressed to an issue on this ques? tion the government would feel justified in making an appeal to the country. There had already been too many measures of violence, too much confiscation of property in Ireland. No measure would be.called conciliatory which outraged the rights of a million and a half of men. Hr. Disraeli concluded by assuring the House that the Ministry were disposed to con? sider all the questions which had arisen in re? gard to Ireland, and all they asked for waa time. Mr. Maguire's resolution was then with? drawn. Lord Mayo said that Messrs. Sullivan and Pigot, the Dublin editors, now jn Richmond jail, are treated with leniency, and net com? pelled to wear the prison uniform; are allowed to Belect their owa table, and have ail the ex? ercise they desire. Thompson and MuUaly have been tried laid convicted at Manchester on the charge of being accessory to the mnfrder of Polie-. Ser -geant Brett, and were to-day sentenced, to be hanged.

THE CONDITION OF OLD THAD, STEVENS-THE CASE OF ALABAMA-WHAT THE IMPEACHMENT MANAGERS ABE DOING-CONGRESSIONAL PRO? CEEDINGS, ETC. WASHINGTON, March 19_Stevens will op? pose the new Alabama bill, thongb his vitality depends so mach on stimulants, that the De? mocrats have little rebanee on his defection. Alabama's admission is not np to-day, and there is a serious hitch in the matter. Poland proposes a new election within sixtv days. It seems to be conceded that Alabama will not be admitted without another election. The impeachment managers were engaged to-day with persons who heard the President's Cleveland speech. Tho President has daily consultation with his counsel. General Jeff. C. Davis has been ordered to command at Alaska. The appropriations for the State Department bas been decreased ahalf. The customs receipts for the week ending on the 14th were three and a half millions. The Hon. David Wilmot, Judge of the Court of Claims, is dead. The diplomatic bill withholds pay from Mr. Harvey, Minister to Portugal, for past or future services. The Herald attributes the Badical change re? garding Alabama's admission to their fear that she would vote the Democratic ticket in the Presidential election. CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS. IN THE SENATE the bill removing the disabili? ties from Butler of Tennessee was discussed. During the discussion it transpired that the Senate Judiciary Committee are considering a bill relieving persons who have been loyal since 1862, also that senators don't consider the four? teenth article part of the constitution. The matter was finally postponed. The consideration of the tax bill was re? sumed. The bill was restored to its original shape after a straggle to retain the tax on re? fined sugar and its products, and turpentine. It was stated during the debate that turpentine yielded nearly a half minion of revenue. Sherman, in discussing the matter, insin? uated that to repeal these taxes would result in a deficit, but feared that public economy could only be enforced by deficiency of means. The bill was finally passed. It requires the con? currence of the House in the reduction of the tax on petroleum and bituminous substances one-half, and forbidding drawbacks cn the ex? portation of articles exempted after April 1st, and one-fifth c f one per cent, on sales of un? taxed articles above ten thousand dollars. IN THE HOFSE Dawes introduced a bill for constructing a railroad and telegraph from Mobile to New Orleans, which was referred to the Committee on Post Boads. The Postmaste-General was called on fora list and tho compensation paid to special igents, and a list of complimentary commis? sions, and why issued. The bill providing for i vacancy in the Chief Justiceship was passed. Ihe freedmen's Bureau Extension bill was re? sumed. Maynard said that he had received : h re at en in g intimations from the E.

Wood said that he ould prove some of these things on Howard, i motion to table the bill was defeated by a ote of 84 to 100. The bill was then passed by vote of 96 to 87, being a strict party vote, "he bill continues the bureau for one year rom May next, and authorizes its re-estab ishmeut in Kentucky and Maryland.

IMPEACHMENT PROSPECTS. ANOTHER INT EE VIEW WITH MB. JOHNSON-HOW HE TALKS AS TO IMPEACHMENT. J. B. S. of the "World has had another talk with the President. "Well, Mr. President, you don't seem to be pining under this infliction." "No," said Mr. Johnson, pleasantly. "It appears that the Seuate is not to get through with this business in such a hurry as waa expected," Mir. Johnson's lips curled with a whimsical smile. "Why, it was wagered, wasn t it, that they would go through the whole trial and get rid of the President by this time ? I suppose I ought now to regard it as little less than a rniracle that I am still here. The impeachers are, as I am told, very persistent." "They are very persistent, indeed, and at present very determined. Although I doubt the propriety of the quostion, and expect to be corrected, I will venture to ask, Mr. President, what your own estimate is of the present chance of the trial ?" "Perhaps at this stage," the President re? plied, "it would be more appropriate for me to ask your opinion. My opportunities of com? munication with the parties who have impeach? ed the President of 'high crimes and miede-, meanors' are not, jost now, quite so favorable i aa yours." i Being thus challenged, I remarked : "Well, sir, you would respect me less if I did not say as earnestly as I believe that if the I c President should be tried immediately-that | \ is, within a week-the Senate would probably convict him, though not upon all the charges. The reasons for this belief are found not only in the previous declarations and piesent temper of a majority of senators, but in I j the lack of opposition to impeachment by the Republican press and party. While most of the leaders of that party would not have fa? vored impeachment upon considerations of jus? tice, they are as well convinced as Congress is, now that Congress has committed itself, that the trial most be gone through with aa a mea? sure of party necessity. It was thought, as you are aware, that Congress would not out? rage justice and the sentiment of the people by passing the military reconstruction bills. Bat it did pass those bills, because the Radical par? ty in the North stood by the congressional ma- ? j brit y in doing so. Ton said, as I recollect, in ti the course of a conversation some weeks ago, tl that for the Radicals to hesitate at carrying out li the measures adopted up to that time would be h equivalent, so to speak, to political Acm kari. s> Having taken the present step in advance, re- h treat, as every member of the party possessing u any brains at all sees, would be still more dan- lj g?rons." tr "You take, it must be confessed, a rather e gloomy view of the prospect,'' said Mr. John- w son, laughing. si "By no means, air; because I apprehend that tl the trial may last long enough to need such a public discussion of its merits as will yet fe arouse a considerable opposition to the meas- tl ure in the Radical ranks. The Democratic bi press is bound to take a more united and en- B thusiastic stand in the President's defence s< than it bas taken when the issues between him b and Congress came to be systematically dis- st cussed at the trial, and the motives of the im- tl peachers are fairly unveiled. For these and af several other reasons, it ia pleasant to hope tl that the trial cannot be hastened, and will be tl prolonged." tl "I do not see," observed the President, ol musing by patting the carpet with his foot, al "bow the trial is to terminate so very soon." ol "Have you received the summons to appear?" ti "0, yes; that came last night. A suggestive ri document." fi' "It is returnable, I believe, on Fridav, the bi 13th instant." a "Yes." oi "I suppose the President is not obliged to in mt in hid appearance in person, but will re- se ipond through bis counsel. bl "Certainly, his counsel will respond.'' pi "Have the counsel been selected?" "Some selections have been made as you cc lave beard. I would not make any too posi- bi ive statements in respect to this matter at al iresent." se "The President's counsel will of course ask f>' tor time to prepare his defence ?" "Undoubtedly.'' 10 "And the time requisite may be considered?" cc "There are eleven articles of impeachment," inswered Mr. Johnson, with another smile, "and one would think the best of lawyers ought j0 :o have some leisure to deliberate upon so long . i list." m After a short pause, I took the liberty of call- m lng the President's attention to a matter hav- Dl ng indirect relation to the subject in hand. -, "The Anal argument in the McArdle case ls io be begun, and perhaps concluded, to-morrow ii the Supreme Court. What a fortunate thing m t would De, according to most accounts, if the fo :ourl could render its decision upon that case si jefore the writ served upon the President ia bj nade returuable." til " Too short a time ior 6nch a decision I am fil tfraid. But," continued the President, " I sup- gi jose the court would feel itself bound, in con- in lideration of the importance of the case, to n< render a decision upon it within three weeks, pc ind that might occur during the interval be- re ;ween the answer to the summons and the day h< jet for the commencement of the trial." at " True ; what a gracs that would be also 1 It al s even hinted that if the decision of the Su- ce prome Court should be against the constitution- is dity of the Reconstruction acts the President of night find himself authorized to rcmovej si lis discretion, the military despotism from the hi South, and let the Southern peonlu enjoy what cl vould te the luxury of governing themselves. ' ai "That might seem to bes ' Said Mr. Johnson, le 'the sutural duty of the President. Do not gi mdereband me, however, as intending to ex- et pr?ts a iwemature opinion upon what is likely ai to happen either lu Ihe Supreme Court or else- ol where. . w 'KJertsSnly *?t, sir. I alluded to the McAr- tc ile case tweiuso it suggested some possibili- Il ties which may be discreetly canvassed. For Ji instance, a decision upon that caae adverse bi to the Beconsiruction acts would render it al pretty certain that tome remaining laws, in? cluding the Civil Tenure act, will not stand yt a judicial test. In that event, would not the oi conviction of the President of the first 'high I crime and misdemeanor,' of which he is im- it peached, look still more doubtful ?" di The President, who had up to this moment w tacitly declined to discuss the question of im- cc peachment, suddenly loosed bis thunders. in "Conviction I" he exclaimed. "Why, every bl private citizen of the United States, or any ki other country where laws exist, hes the right of testing in court a law which his neighbor ie bas made an excuse for injuring him. Is the ol President of the United States not to be al- oi lowed the same privilege when his adminis- li trative rights-rights whn-h the nation has in- bi trusted to him, and for the preservation of w which he is made responsible-are sought to pj be arrogated by I care not whom?" "Nevertheless, Mr. President, Congress as- w sumes that the Executive is merely a.J Execu- ei tive. As such, it says, he is compelled by bis pi oath to execute any law that may-oe passed by gi a two-thirds vote over his veto, Congress itself - being judge, so far as it is necessary for the President to know, of the constitutionality of . the bill it adopts." n! "Thero is a limit to such an assumption as ^ that," repliedlthe'President. "According to it, lr Congress might pass a series of laws more ac grossly unconstitutional than this one we have n( been discussing, and the President have no . yea nor nay in the matter. Let us remember betimes that the President himself ia sworn to P protect and defend the constitution. Suppose tl Congres should pass a bill abolishing the veto vi power; suppose Congress should pass a bill u abolishing the President's power to make any " civil appointment; suppose Congress should 1 pass a bill depriving the President of the com- c< mander in chief of the army; suppose it should P pass a dozen bills of this character-would the t? President be constitutionally bound to execute c< them as laws? Would it not be his duty, as in ? the present instance, to seek an immediate judgment in the Supreme Court upon such ) palpable violations of the constitution and tba ' genius of the government?" "It most be admitted, sir, that that is a YO g. i y gestive way of putting the question.". "Well, then, let us proceed to other uon eiderations. The President is impeached, of a 'high crime and misdemeanor' in rerj-iovincr Mr. Stanton. Besides tho impossibiUTy, as I believe, of showing that the Presid?D t acted outside his vested powers in makrap, that re? moval, there ie another difficulty. If it would, by any twisting of logic, be shown t'aat he has acted outside those powers, a wroa>; motive in so doing must be proved against him." And so on. We omit the President's argu? ment-. It will not eave bim. The Wnat-Is-it Outdone. AN EXTBAOBJDISABT CEEAT?BE DISCOVZBED IN THE FOBEST8 OP MIBSISSTPPI. From the Vicksburg Herald, March 1.] About twenty-five miles from this city is a Btnall stream, known as Bear.Creek, which emp? ties into the Big- Black Biver. For some time past, strange stories have been told by the negroes of an extraordinary animal seen near this creek. These stories were laughed at and derided by the oitizens, no one behoving in any such statements. This extraordinary creature had often suddenly presented him? self among the negroes in the early twilight, causing great consternation among them. He is described by the negroes as being ibout eight feet high, each eye, in iheir language, "as large es a hen's egg," with no nose and no upper lip, his two eye? teeth as large as a man's thumb, extending Sown over his chin about eight inches; his right foot points directly to the front, and the eft to the rear, and the measurement of the track is just twenty-three inches in length; his inger nails are about six inches long; the bair m his head-which is stiff and wiry-sweeps ;he ground as he walks, and is parted in the .ear and brought down in front on each side of lis singolarly formed chest, which is not round )r flat, but is anguler, like that of a fowl. The aair on the body of this singular being is very itiff and grows to the rear, parting at the ingle of the breastbone, growing back, and initing with a long, stiff growth on his spme, vhich extends back about one foot like the ipinal fin of a fish, or the bristles on the back >f a boar; the hair on bis arms is parted, and rrows in the same way, making a long, thick )rush on the back of the arms, extending from he shoulders to the point of his middle finger, rue same peculiarity is observable on his legs. No white person hos ever seen bim until re? entry, when he was discovered by a hunting ?arty. Several gentlemen-acquaintances cf mrs-met on last Thursday week, with a view f bear hunting in tbe swamp. 'They were ac ompanied by about fifteen well-trained bear logs. They were prepared for the hunt early a the morning, and, when about commencing, heir attention was attracted to an unusually urge human track in the soft soil ; upon exami? nation it was discovered that the track was onstantly being reversed. In an instant the tories of the negroes occurred to the partv, nd at once it was determined to pursue the reature which had made this track. The dogs rere instantly called and encouraged to follow lie track; which they did promptly. The gen emen mounted upon good horses, found but ttle difficulty in keeping well up with the ounds. In a few minutes an object was pre Bnted to their view which sent a chill to the eart of every member of the party. They had nearthedthe nondescript. A being-apparent r human - suddenly arose from bis lair, ?rned. and for a moment stood in silent in pection of bis pursuers, and then instantly, ith a yell truly terrific, wheeled, and with the peed of the fastest horse, rushed away before io dogs. This wild and exciting" chase was continued ir a distance of nearly fen miles, when at last io terrible monster, foaming with rage, was rought to bay upon the banks of the Big lack, and turning with a fury unparalleled, it iized the foremost dog with both hands, and, 7 the exercise of superhuman muscular rength, buried its long felons in tho body of I ie howling, brute and literally tore the dog iunder. xVopping this, it instantly seized ie next . mid sent its two immense tusks trough the sinai of the doomed dog. One of ie hunters, becoming alarmed for the safety t ' the party, drow his revolver and fired twice ; the monster, but evidently without effect her than to frighten it by the report, when, urning with a hideous yell, it plonged into the ver, diving and remaining under water fully re minutes, when it would suddenly spring igh into the air, screaming with the voice of regiment of soldiers. It finally*swam to the oposite Bide and disappeared in the neighbor g forest, Binco which time it bas only been .en twice by white persons. Several attempts | I ive been made to capt ire it, but up to the .esent time without success. What this strange creature is no one can injecture. The gentlemen with whom we ive conversed represent it as a black man >out six feet hi gb, but in other respects re imbling to a great degree the description ven by the negroes. It bas broken the negroes from attending yal leagues at night in that section of the 1 .untry. | ?

The subject of this mourn lui tribute, Mr. JAME3 LIVINGSTON PATTERSON, was not only a genial member of our brotherhood, but for many years our faultless Treasurer. He paid the last debt to nature on t?c morning of the 16th uitimo, and his soul was wafted to that Power from wiience it received it9 de? rivation. Alas I how true it i i that, "To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the las! syllable of recorded time." Mr. PATTEBSOX was a peieevering merchant and citizen-a gentleman gifted with many amiable qualities-honest in his dealings, sincere in his friendship, and affable in hi i manners. His mortal career has been arrested, tho curtain of life bas been drawn aside, and he is no more. May the affections of this society and of his rienda prove a lasting monument to MB memory. Therefore, be it Resolved, That the feellntfs of each individual member of the Hibernian Society be consonant with the foregoing preamble. Resolved, That this preamble and these resolu? tions, receiving as they do tie heartfelt approbation of the Hibernian Society, be especially recorded by the Secretary on the MinutBook, and that a copy of the same be presented by Ulm to the family ol our deceased brother and friend. And farther Resolved, That this tributi of respect be published in the doily popers of the cit; '. The foregoing was seconded with much feeling by Mr. M. P. O'CO?TCTOB. Its publication* was then ordered. Extract from the minutes. B. N. McCABE, March 20 1 Secretary pro tem.

March 16 _ OSS' CIRCULA E.-THE EXTENT TO which the adulteration of Liquors is carried on in this country makes it the duty of the purchaser to investigate tho merits of the article offered for aale. It is a well known fact that many of the Brandies, Wines, Ac, are manufactured from French extracts, essential oils and alcohol, which is poisonous, there? by causing many Injurious effects. The public is justly suspicious of nearly every? thing put up for sale under the name of Liquors and the trade has been brought Into disrepute, and In order to insure to those who desire a Pure Article, it ls only necessary for us to say that we Import Direct all Brandie?, Wines and Gins, and warrant them per? fectly pure, as originally imported.

This ls a mistake. The Stomach must be stimulated and regulated, and the liver and the discharging organs put In good working order be? fore a cure can be effected. Such is the operation of HOSTETTER'S BITTERS. "They tone the stomach, set the liver right, And put the stomach in such a healthful plight, That good digestion waits on appetite." Many persons fancy that Fever and Ague can be tvoided by adopting unusual precautions against lamp and cold. Never was there a greater fal? lacy. There is no absolute safeguard against ma-- ? anons maladies, except HOSTETTER'S BITTERS. "To brace the frame and make it ague-proof, To keep the causes of disease aloof," Chere is nothing like this genial vegetable invigor in t. So, too, in cases where ther 3 is a predisposition :o biliousness; the constitutional tendency ls corn batted and held in check by the alterative action of he BITTER!?. Die?, and regimen are powerful allies of judicious nedical treatment when the preservation of health n insalubrious localities is the object in view. But hey will not answer tho desired end alone. Cse them as aids to the BITTERS, tut do not rely upon he efficacy of any formula that does not Include tbi tdmirablc tonic. The BITTERS consist of an unadulterated vege able essence (unrivalled among stimulants), medi- 1 :ated solely with herbs and roots of acknowledged rirtuc as tonics. It is agreeable to the taste snd per? fectly harmless. Even to children of delicate con ititutions it may be given with perfect impunity, h fact, with these, as with those of older growth, its rondertul r?cup?rant properties are at once appa- - .ent._6_March 16 ?-NEW MARRIAGE GUIDE.-AN ESSAY or Young Men, on Physiological Errors, Abuses and diseases.
