WASHINGTON; June 4, 1866.
The Postmaster General to-day transmitted to the
Senate a reply to a resolution of that body, relating
to the establishment of a telegraph in connection with
the postal system, lie submits the (replies to inter
[ rotatoria - madebyjhimself, from experts in telegraph
containing much valuable information as to the
costs oi constructing and operating lines, etc. The
mails, the Postmaster General says, are now trans
ported by rail 32,112 miles, to which will bo added on
the completion of the Pacific railroad, say 2.000
miles, making in all 31.112 miles of railway service.
Estimating two-thirds of this distance as covered by
the principal mail routes within the meaning of the
Senate resolutions, tho telegraph would be required
for 22,941 miles, costing for the construction of a sin
gle wire line $l5O per mile: $3,411,150.
But, as a three wiro line will not be above tho
average of tho facilities required on the principal
mail route, to accomplish any practical purpose in
aid of the Postollico Department, it is safe to esti
mate the construction upon that basis rathervhan
upon a single wire, which will increase the cost to
$0,522,300. The cost of a six wiro line, he estimates
at $350 per mile, with thirty poles to the mile, and
no allowance of oxtra expenses for running through
cities nor for submarine cables. The annual cost of
maintaining, salaries, repairs, etc., included, he esti
mates at 10 per cent, on the cost of constructing, and
the depreciation of all kinds at S per cent, per an
num.
In conclusion he says: "I do not submit estimates
of receipts, gross or net. which will depend so large
ly on the manner in which tho system will be man
aged to secure or lose the public confidence, and be
so much affected by the character and extent of the
compensation of private organizations, that I would
regard any estimate too uncertain to be reiied upon.
As the result of my investigation under the resolu
tion of the Senate, I am of tho opinion that it will
not bo wise for tho Government to inaugurate the
proposed system of telegraphs as a part of the Pos
tal Service, not only beeause of its doubtful financial
success, but also its questionable feasibility under
our political system."

magistrate commanding the Government vessel La
Canadiane, employed in protecting the fisheries of
Canada, to issue fishery licenses on the payment of
the sum of 50 cents per ton of the measurement of the

These licenses will remain in force during the

A letter from St. Thomas, dated March 18, refers to
an arrangement alleged to have been entered into by
Juarez and Gen. Santa Anna, aooording to which the
latter is to take the place of the former.
In this connection the Jietena de Mora publishes
the following; "We have just seen a letter from Don
Jose Maria Iglesias, one of Juarer/s ministers, dated
in the latter part of last month, at Paso del Norte
and Mesilia, informing the Juarist leaders and other
Liberals that Juarez, at a council of his ministers,
had determined to transfer the direction of allairs to
Gen. Santa Anna, who would undertake the political
restoration of the country. Santa Anna, it was ex

ascertain the will of the majority of the people re

people, and makes misery and poverty the sad rule of
their condition; covering our fair land with paupers'
graves and wretched hovels, eliciting from the liberal
minds of England herself expressions of shame for the
Government, and indignation fur the people. Wo
have taken up the sword to strike down the oppres
sor's rod—to deliver Ireland from tho tyrant, tho
despoiler, the robber.
Wo have registered our oaths upon tho altar of
our country in tho full view of Heaven, and sent no
vows to the throne of Him that inspired tnem.
Then, looking about us for the enemy, wo find him
here, here in your midst where hois most vulnerable
and convenient to our strength, and have sworn to
stretch forth the wido hand of Ireland to grapple
with him. The battle has commenced, and we pledge
ourselves to all the sacred memories of struggling
liberty, to follow it up at any cost to either of two
alternatives, the absolute political independence
and liberty of Ireland, or the demolition of our ar
mies.
Wo havo no issue with tho people of these provin
ces, and wish to have none but the must friendly re
lations. Our weapons are for tho oppressors of Ire
land. Our blows shall bo directed only against the.
power of England, her privileges alone shall we in
vado, notyours. We do not proposo to divost you of
a solitary right you now enjoy j We will assail and
asperse only the rights that are claimed and enjoyed
by tho government of Great Britain, the right to
make her American possessions tho field and base of
operations in a war against an enemy.
We come to instal ourselves in her possessions, and
turn them against her in a war for Irish freedom.
Wo are here neither as murderers lior robbers, for
plunder or spoliation. We are here as the Irish army
of liberation ar.d tho friends of liberty against des
potism; of democracy against aristocracy; of tho
people against their oppressors; ol the bsilot against
the privileges of class; of progress and development
manner worlhy*oVl'h'eEfgh* olff eet we aim for, anJrtfii
sublime sentiments that sctuate us.
In ta word, our war is with the armed power of
England, and not with the people, not with these
provinces. Against England upon land and sea, until
Ireland is free. And all who raise an arm to defend
her, to frustrate or defeat us, belong to the common
enemy, and as such will be dealt with. As wo know
how to rccugnizo the services of our friends, so also
do wo know how to punish tho depredations of our
foes.
Our work for Ireland accomplished, wo leave to
your own tree ballots to determine your natural and
political standing and character, and shall rejoice to
see, and assist to make these limitless colonies spring
from the foot of a foreign throne, as free and inde
pendent, as proud as New Fork, Massachusetts or Il
linois. That yearning for liberty, and aspiration af
ter natural independence, which swells in tho breast
of every true son of every land; to your own manli
ness we leave these questions tor settlement, confi
dent that the dwarfed development of your vast re
sources and natural wealth, amid the chilling influ
ences of English supremacy, in wretched contrast
with the national dignity, and stupendous material
prosperity of your neighboring people of the United
States, under the stimulus of State government and
Democratic institutions, constitutes a stronger argu
ment in favor of co-operation with us, ami of the re
volution in your political condition which this com
parison suggests, than any discussion of these ques
tions involved, which we could oiler here.
To Irishmen throughoutthosc provinces we appeal,
in the n tine of seven centuries of British iniquity and
Irish misery and suffering: in the name of our mur
dered sires, our desolated homes, our desecrated
altars, our millions of famine graves, our insulted
name and race, to stretch forth the hand of brother
hood in the holy cause of fatherland, and siuite tho
tyrant where we can in his work of murdering our
nation and exterminating our people.
IV o conjure you, our countrymen, who, from misfor
tunes iutiicted by the very tyranny you oro serving,
or from tiny other cause, have been forced to enter
the ranks of the enemy, not to be the willing instru
ment of your country's death or degradation. If
Ireland still speaks to you in tho truest impulses of
your hearts. Irishmen, obey her voice.
If you would not be miscreants, recreant to the
first principles of your nature, engraven upon the
very corner stone of your being, raise not the band
of the matricide to strike down the banner of Erin.
No uniform, and surely not the blood-dyed coat of
Englaud, can emancipate you from the natural law
that binds your allegiance to Ireland, of freedom of
humanity of the people, we offer the olivo branch of
peace and the honest grasp of friendship. Take it
Irishmen, Frenchmen, Americans; take it all and
trust it.
To all who marched to the call of the enemy, and
rally under his standard, to aid or abet his cause, we
give the sword in as firm and earnest a grip as ever
did its work upon a foernan. Wo wish to meet with
friends; we are prepared to meet with enemies. We
shall endeavor to merit the confidence of the former
and the latter can expect front us but the leniency of I
a determined, though generous foe, and the restraints
and relations imposed by civilized warfare.

NEW YORK, June 4.— A Buffalo special says that
Colonel Lowry, of the 47th Regulars, visited the
Michigan yesterday and asked lor the British colors.
Col. O'Neill positively refused to have them delivered
as he had surrendered unconditionally to General
Barry, and they were in his custody. General Barry
has removed all restrictions on travel from Buffalo to
Fort Erie jand the ferry boats are running again. Tha
Lake Erie and Huron Railway Company is repairing
their road and the trains will run again to-morrow.
The English troops are encamped in tents at Fort
Erie.
LATER—ALL QUIIT.
AU is quiet on the Niagara frontier, and the arms
of the captured Fenians are ail on board the steamer
Michigan.
The British colors captured by the Fenians at the
battle of Ridgeway, which the Canadians call Tilles
ton Ridge, were taken on board the Michigan.
WATERTOWS, N. Y., June 4.— General Meade and
staff passed here this morning en route north. Gen.
Sweeney and 159 Fenians were on the same train.
AU is quiet north of Ogdensburg.
FENIAN ITEMS.
ST. ALBANS, June 4.—Another company of United
States artillery from Fort Independence arrived here
this morning. The United States authorities are
using every effort to preserve neutrality.
ST. JOHN'S, C. E., June 4—lo a. m.—Col. Bufford's
royal artillery stationed to protect the railroad bridge
over Richlieu river consists of six pieces of Arm
strong 20-pounders all in good order, with superior
artillery horses constantly under training. The town
is patrolled by mounted men of the British regulars.
The inhabitants are entirely quiet, and apparently
indifferent whether the Fenians some or not. Large
numbers of citizens have left for the States, being ap
prehensive of a Fenian raid. United States Consul
Morehouse keeps the American Sag dying over his
consulate.
HAMILTON, C. W., June 4.—The recent Fenian
troubles have not caused the slightest interruption
of the Great Western Railroad. Freight and pas
senger trains are running regularly.
The village of St. Armand, on the Canada line, is
filled with British volunteers. Reports are current
of another Fenian attack being expected. A rumor
that an attempt was to be made to capture the bank
at Bedford, at Strawbridge Station, caused a sudden
removal of the deposits therefrom last night.
A FANATIC.—An adventurer named Leonidas Bul
garia has just caused some excitement in Athens and
other parts of Greece. Carried away, as it would
seem, by a false sentiment of patriotism, and alter
long laboring in secret for the triumph of what is
there called tl great idea, he thought the hour come
for the Christian population of Turkey to take up
arms and recover their independence, his mission
being to rouse them. Having succeeded in persuad
ing aboui forty men to join him, he sailed with them,
a fortnight since, for the oouts of Turkey. (Several
others, following his example, have taken their de
parture fer the Dardanelles, bmyrna and other towns
of the Ottoman Empire, and in consequence sons
dlitttrtanoes are looked for.

. ith tho view to makine closer connections and
quicker time between New s"ork and New Orleans by
this arrangement, the time between the two cities
Will be reduced to ninety-two (92) hours, which is less
than by any other route.
The Convention agreed to make no change in fares

tne right of this line to reduco the fare to Grand

and in lieu to establish offices under the control of
the lines in interest.
Messrs. West, Owen, and Wickham wcroappointed
to attend the general railroad convention to bo held
at Philadelphia on the 4th of July next, to represent
this Convention, and to bring beiore that body the
subject of free passes and the system of commissions
and employing soliciting agents—all of which, in the
opinion of this Convention, are evil.? that should be
speedily corrected by all railroads, and that itenn
only be attained by a concert of action on the i .art of
all railroads.
The practice of passengers carrying excessive
amounts of baggago was discussed, and it was agreed
to charge for all amounts exceeding ono hundred
pounds to each passenger double first-class freight
rates for the excess.
The estabiishment of a fast freight line from New
Memphis. Tenn., was agreed upon, enabling
this line to compete successfully with Western lines
lor the heavy freights to tho Mississippi Valley, and
to make equally as good rates and better tiino.
TRAGEDY IN* PENNSYLVANIA.—A horrible murder
was committed about five miles south of Legonier,
Westmoreland county. Pa., on Monday evening, 28th
inst. Tho victim, Mr. John Shale, a well-to-do
farmer residing in Cook township, left his residence
about o u o'clock, and not returning in roasonable
time his family became alarmed, and, assisted by tho
neighbors, searched for him without success till
Tuesday morning, when his body was found about a
quarter of a mile from home, lie had been killed
wlulc in tho act of putting up a fence, aud to all ap
i-aanAs had never moved after being shot. Tho
assassin must tiavt hoi.i the weapon close to the un
fortunate man H head, as part of tho exploded cap
was found m the hat of the victim. One ball had cn
tercd behind the ear, coming out at the opposite
sule; the other entered above the eye, and went clear
through the head.
Witnesses testified before the coroner's jury to hav
ing heard shots in the direction of tho place where
the body was found. A son of the murdered man
testified that ho had shot twice at ground squirrels a
short distance from the same place. The son—agod
about twenty years—said he bad boon to sec a for
tune teller in tho morning, who said his father had
been killed by three men who had been waylaying
him for soino time. lie as well as the other members
of tho family testified to having seen his father count
his money on Saturday. Tho money, about $350, was
in bonds and has not been found. The verdict oftho
jury does not implicate any one in tho crime.
THIEVES ON A FUNERAL EXCURSION.—The excursion
of the steamboat Daniel Drew and that of tho Arme
nia to West Point yesterday, on the occasion of the
funeral of General Scott, opened a fine field for
thieves. Lho Daniel Drew was excessively crowded.
On tho trip to AY est Point the thieves conducted
themselves like respectable, mourners, and had a
good opportunity for making observations which
might hoof use to them when they were read v for
work. The passengers, who wcro rich in money, gold
•' arches, Ac., had apparently no idea of tho kind of
tript c ™: la r c '
The thieves operated there with great celerity and
effect; and during the trip, and while tho Passengers
were crowding and jostling each other in tneir efforts
to leave tho steamers at Thirty-fourth street and at
Desbrosses street, many persons—how many cannot,
of course, be known—were robbed. This is thought
to be, in its results and in the manner of it, one of
the most skilful performances of thieves that has
ever taken place.— N. Y. Poet,
OUTRAGE.— An outrageous affair, wo understand,
occurred at Purcellviiie, in Loudoun count-. , a few
days since, which resulted in the shooting aiid dan
gerous wounding of a colored boy named Robert
Hoaman, by a white mau named London T. Lovott,
while he(Holman) was quietly sitting upon the steps
of the dwelling of John L. Smith, tho boy's employ
er. It seems that Lovett, with some other parties,
came to the house and charged Holman with saucing
some white person, and at the same time commenced
slapping hiui in the face and otherwise maltreating
him. liolman run into the house and bolted the
door, in order to escape the torments of his pursu
ers. On threats being made by Lo> ett that he would
force tho door, Mrs. Smith unbolted the same, when
L. rushed in, and with a revolver shot liolman in the
back, inflicting a very dangerous if not fatal wound.
The civil authorities have taken no steps to arrest
Lovett, and seem disinclined to do so. This shows a
had state of things in that section, and should he
thoroughly investigated. Ifthiscaso is allowed to
pass untreated others may imitate the miserable ex
ample.—Alex. ( 1 a.) Journal.
A MATTER or FACT COR ANY ROXDRNT.— Opinions
vary. A friend of mine has been TV est, and has seen
—not the elephant—but the Indian, and has also been
chased by him.
Commenting on this fact, he writes me:
"Much has been said by poets and romantic young
ladies, about tho picturesque aspect and the noble
form of au untamed, untameablo warrior of the
prairie, and far be it from ino to gainsay them.
An Indian is a nobie spectacle—in a picture, or at a
safe distance —but when this 'noble spectacle.' iu com
pany with a dozen other 'noble spectacles,' is moving
his moccasins in yjty direction, and you have to do
some tall walking in order to keep the capillary sub
stance on the summit of your cranium, pll his 'nobil
ity' vanishes, and you see in him only a painted,
greasy miscreant, who will, if you give him a chance,
lift your hair with the same Christian spirit, composed
and most serene, with which he would ask another
'spectacle' for 'a little more of that based dog.' I
used to think like the poets; now the sight of an In
dian gives me a cramp in the stomach."
NEIGHBOR TAI.KIXTON was about six feet and a half
long, and was familiarly known as "Tallkitten." ilis
pedal extremities were so weUdsveloped that No. 13
boots were too limited for bw understanding. He
was compelled to furnish a special pair of lasts, and
fay an extra prioe to protect his foundation from
inclement weather. It took several liberal nips of
long-range whisky to put "life and metal in his
heels," but one cold day, opportunities being favor
able, he succeeded in getting aboard an extra sup
ply, and came home in the night cold and very badly
fuddled. Mrs. T. and her son, a boy of five or six
years, had retired lor the night. She observed him
enter the room, and take a seat before the embers,
and placing one heel on the other toe pottle down to
Warm and take a quiet nap. After dozing some time
he awoke chilly; the embers were completely hid
from view, and seeing his leet mistook tnem for his
little hoy, when, with a rnajes ic side-wave of his
hand, he said.' Stand aside, my little son, and let
your poor father warm himself!"
A GENTLEMAN IN HOOPS.— The Quebec Morning
Chronicle has the following: "Will the ladies counte
nance the innovation? Baring yesterday s drench
ing rain we met a gentleman Having ou an India
rubber overcoat, tho skirt of which, at the lower
edge, was expanded by means of a strip of cane,
similar to that assumed by the ladies on the first in
troduction of hoops? We readily venture to admit
this trespass on the ladies' department, inasmuch as
it affords equal protection to the lower limbs, as does
the umbrella to the head and shoulders, particularly
so in the event of high winds. Wo venture further
to predict that the amount of comfort derivable from
this simple contrivanoe will ensure its general
adoption.
Ma. LINCOLN'S OPINION.— "I am not, nor ever have
been, in favor of making jurors or voters of negro A
nor intejmarrying them with the white people: and I
will say, in addition to this, that there is a physjeal
difference between the white and black races which,
I believe, will ever forbid the two races from living
together on terms of social and political equality.
And, inasmuch as they cannot so live while they do
remain together, there must be the position of supe
rior and inferior, and I, as muoh as any other man,
am in favor of having the superior position assigned
to the white man."
THE PEABODY TESTIMONIAL.—The London Timet
says; "A movement is now on foot in the oity to com
memorate in some conspicuous and lasting form the
unparallelled act of munificence of Mr. Peabody for
the relief of fhe poor of London. At prosent it is pro
posed to erect a statue of Mr. Peabody in some con
spicuous spot in the city of London, and that is the
form of a testimonial which will be submitted at a
meeting on Thursday as the most appropriate for per
petuating the memory of his most noble act, and em
bodying the gratitude and admiration of the citizens.',
WHEAT CROP.—We hear most discouraging reports
in regard to the wheat crop in many parts of our
county. Numerous fields are being plowed up and
planted in corn. In Springfield Township it is be
lieved that an amount of wheat equal to the seed
sown will not bo harvested. In Blooming Grove
Township the prospect is more favorable. The va
riety of wheat known as the "swamp wheat" will
apparently afford a moderate yield.— Brookville
(hid.) American, May 25.
A HOMERIC AMAZON.—In Homer, Michigan, a few
days ago, a schoolmistress named liver, whipped a
pupil who had inadvertiy addressed kor without the
accustomed nod of consent, until she had used-up
three whips nearly as large as a man's finger. She
then took a ferule, an inch in diameter, and scourged
the boy with this until her strength gave way. The
subject of her disoipline is covered with abscesses
from head to waist, and his arm has been rendered
useless.
A NOVEL TEST OF INTELLIGENCE.—WO wonder
why the writing a novel is not made one of the con
ditions of suffrage, as few persons would be excluded
by the test. A Paris paper offered a prize for one the
other day, and was soon overwhelmed with 1,800
manuscript* I but that number is inconsiderable in

tion of the following as tho 7th section:
ibe obligations of the United States, incurred iu
suppressing insurrection, or in defence of the Union,
or lor payment of bounties or pensions incident
thereto: shall remain inviolate.
Mr. Hendricks, of Indiana, took the floor, and
proceeded to address tho Senate on the several mer
its of the subject.
Mr. Hendricks offered tho following amendment to
he inserted after the word taxed, iu the second sec
tion excluding also two-fifths of such persons as
have been discharged from involuntary servitude bv
any proclamation of the President of tho United
.States, or by the amendments to the Constitution ol'
the United States since IS 1, and to whom the elec
tive iratiebue may be denied.
The amendment inserting the above as tho fourth
section was then agrerd to.
The amendments to tho fifth section were then
agreed to.
Mr. Van Winkle submitted an amendment to he
inserted as a new section: "That every person not
mentioned or described in section three of this arti
cle, who shall have engaged in insurrection or rebel
lion against the United States, and against whom no
prosecution ot treason has been instituted within
years, shall at tho expiration of that time, upon
taking an oath to support the Constitution of the
| United states, be exempt from all pains, penalties
and liabilities for such participation in the re

Mr. Sherman said this was a subject for legislation
and not tor Constitutional amendment.
The amendment was disagreed to by the following
vote:
Ayes-Messrs. Cowan. Davis, Doolittle, Guthrie,
Hendricks. Riddle, Van Winkle and Wilfv—B
Nays—Messrs. Chandler. Clark, Conne'ss. Cragin,

and direct taxes shall be apportioned among tho
several States according to the value of the real and
personal taxable property situate in each State, not
belonging to the State or to the Unitod States.
Mr. Doolittle advocated the adoption of his amend
ment. Its adoption would give one hundred and
two majority to the free States in the electoral col
lege.
Mr. Edmunds said tho proposition of the Senator
was one of inherent error in both principle and prac
tice.
On motion of Mr. Doolittle, tho Senate then went
into executive session, and after a short time spent
therein adjourned.

HONORS TO CONFEDERATE DEAD.
The States haying been called through, the next
business in order was tho following preamblo aid
resolution, offered on May 28, by Mr. William?, of
Pennsylvania. They were read, as follows :
Whereas, It has been declared by tho supreme ex
ecutive authority ot this nation, in accordance with
the dictates of sound wisdom, the just instincts of
humanity, and the undoubted sentiment of the ieo
plo of tho loyal States, that treason should be made
odious, and traitors not only disgraced bui impover
ished: and whereas, it is represented that, while no
traitor who has survived the chances of the battle
field and escaped the retribution due to his crimes at
the hands of the loyal soldiers of the M or th has been
otherwise pumsnea than by the award or i-üblic hon
ors or the remission of disabilities to qualify him for
enjoyment thereof, the memories of the t*-sto r dead
have been hallowed and consecrated by local
entertainments and treasonable utterances m honol
of their crime, which have not only been tolerated j
by the national authorities, but in some lnstan

and restoring the Union ot our fathers has here
denied to the loyal people ol those communities bli
the local authorities, v. ith the connivance or con serif
ol tbe imluury or civil agents of this government
and whereas, the encouragement or toleration of such
enormities is ol pernicious and dangerous example
insulting to the living soldiers oftho republic as well'
as to the memories of tho dead, and calculated to
make loyalty odius and treason honorable, and to
obstruct, it not entirely prevent, tho growth at'
a feeling us is essential to any cordial or periuail, —*
reunion of these States; Therefore
Resolved, That the President be rcquostod to in
form this House whether any of the military or civil
employees of this Government, within the State of
Georgia or any of the other rebel States, have in any
way countenanced or assisted in the rendition of pub
lic honors to any of 'he traitors,either livingordead,
who have been waging a parricidal war against this
Government, in commemoration ot their great crime,
either by closing their offices on such occasions or
making other favorable demonstrations in connec
tion therewith; and further, whether the privilege of
doing like honors to loyalty at the graves of the
Union soldiers who have perished tar from their
homes aud kindred has been, in any instance, ob
structed or denied by the rebel authorities, with the
concurrence or acquiescence of the officers of this
Government.
Mr, Eldridge, of Wisconsin, inquired wltero tho
facts came from recited in the preamble.
Mr. Williams sale, he believed theur to bo true.
They appeared in a loyal paper published in Georgia.
The resolution was then agreed to.
JJi. Eidridge then demanded the yeas and nays on
the preamble, which was agreed to—yeas 73, nays 30.
RESOLUTIONS, ETC.
The next business in order was the following reso
lution, laid over under the rulo on Monday last,
being offered by Mr, Kelley, of Pennsylvania.
Retained, That too Secretary of War bo directed to
furnish to the House of Representatives a schedule
of all railroad property which was in the possession
of the Government on May 1,1865; whether held by
right of capture or by purchase, and if by purchase,
stating the cost. Also, what disposition has been
made of such property; if sold, whether for cash or
credit: and. if for credit, under what law or authority,
and whether the purchase money has been paid, or

of ceaseless toil spent by the working women. Miss

[ —Pony pbsetons—it is well known—are becoming
quite an institution at tho fashionable places of re
sort in this country, although long in vogue abroad,
especially in England: and as a new thing here,
measurably, the Carriage Builders' Association have
I turned out at their establishment on South Gay

have ever seen. Perfectly adapted to the purpose
for which it is intended, a pony vehicle, for a child's
uso. it is most admirable in its proportions, and fin
ished in a style which gives an air of completeness in
all its parts, seldom attained. Made to the order of
our neighbor, of tho American, C. C. Fulton, Esq., it
is a quiet demonstration of tho aristocratic tenden
cies of the press, when its managers can afford such
toys for some use. When the llerald is prominent
in the yacht clubs of New York, why should not the
Baltimoro press affect pony pbsetons V IVc congrat
ulate all belonging to the fraternity here on the up
ward and onward tendencies of the profession, tho
augury afforded by the incident wo have chronicled
being of the most cheering character.
