Consi derable sums still, I think, find their way to Ire land, and help to pay for the plots of which you are now suffering the effects. As far as I can see or hear, however, I doubt if the blowing up of the gaols, and the murder of solitary policemen, are the kind of exploits to excite much enthusisain here. In fact, I think the Irish are rather ashamed of them than otherwise. They are a tolerably close imitation of the kind of service in which the Con fedastes engaged during the LA year of the war in the Northeracities and on the Canadian frontier. A Virginian "gentleman," of old family and fine sentiment* was hanged here, after trial by court martial, in 1864, for having been engaged in making arrangements to throw a night express train, laden with pemengers, off the track, on the New York Central Railway.

I apprehend that this ex premien of opinion on the part of those who have tho evi dence before them ought to go facto dispelthe theories and *Destructions on the midemes put forward by your article. I regret to have to observe that you have prominently, but not correctly, put forward amMeitit AMON& idiom is nit proved ei the trial, wltisit it tree beer sereggl, sow the plaintiff's ease ; whilst scarcely any part of the evi dence adduced on the part of the plaintiff, and which bears is an squally strong manner spinet the defendant, has been 111,411 referred to by you. Unless I discussed in detail the various inaccuracies and einiadons in the version of the supposed evidence which year article professes to deal with, and which, einem sleased se I at present am, it is neither my provisos nee ditty to do, I could not hope to give a full and complete newer to the charges you have thought proper to make to my prejudice. For the present, therefore, whilst elrengly protesting, as I do, against the fairness or Japer tiality of the article in question, I must request yen forth.. with to oorrect a grave error into which I am sure you have unintentionally fallen, and which forms the beds of your article—namely, the question whether the Warr written by me to the defendant on Sunday, the , 11th August, 18cki, designated my " death wanent," was written by me freely and voluntarily, or on the tion teary whether same, as the plaintiff's witnesses, including myself, proved, was a letter composed by the defendant's ' two brothers, and whilst I, under duress, and wholly prostrated in mind, was cowed and intimidated into copying from a draft prepared by them for me. The ar ticie of which I complain suggest' that I voluntarily wrote this letter; that I was the parson who proposed that should be written, and that it was posted by roe, not in Dublin, but after I reached London, and therefore at time when, as you suggest, I must have been free from direct compulsion ; and again, that the postmarks on the ' letter coati= this statement. If this be true, it could scarcely be possible that any jury would, on such evi dence, hesitate to find • verdict against my evidence ; but, what becomes of your theories and reasoning when, In truth and fact, not one tingle particle of evi dence such as you have relied on as forming the basis of your opinion, was ever adduced at the trial, and until the allegation was made by you in the article I complain of, I wee not even aware such a statement was ever put forward during the trial. On the contrary, it was admitted by all the witnesses on both aides that this letter was written by me In my house, in the presence of the Messrs. Begot and others, shortly before I left Dublin ; that it was posted at the General Post-office, Dublin, in the Fromm of Mr. B. Begot, who accompanied me so far for the express purpose, as he admitted, of seeing the letter posted, and that so soon as he did so be parted ' from me. The letter was heel' produced at the trial, and it bore the post-marks " Dublin, Sunday, August 19, 1866," and " liallynoe (defendant's residence), August 20, Ititi," without any English postmark whatever. Again, tit me draw your attention to your exprmsion as to my re turn from my " hiding place," and point out that it was proved and admitted and known by all parties that I bad been living publicly in London till the hearing of the ewe. I now respectfully ask you trimmed your prejudicial article against me, based, as Do doubt it was, upon the incorrect and par tial reports of the et idence which ap peared in the London journals. It Is quite clear that the writer of the article of which I complain has fallen into a grave error, upon which he has bored his views, and it is the more to be regretted that it should have arisen on the very point upon which it is more than probable the ver dict in this use will ultimately tors.—l am, dm., Jan. 2. , WILLIAM JAMES SIDNEY. es you bun; got 1" A singular point has arisen with regard to the purchase of Russia= America, which may help to bring out rather strikingly the inconveniences of a want of harmony between the executive and the legislature. Mr. Seward, as you know, is anything but popular with the majority in Congress. His purchases of territory are looked upon as mere at tempts to cover up or distract attention from his delinquencies in the reconstruction business. The Senate approved of the treaty, but it did so under the influence of the traditional love of expansion, which twenty years ago was, under Southern in fluence mainly, very strong, but is now very weak. This tradition is still so powerful that few politi cians would venture to oppose the acquisition of fresh territory unless they had actually perceived some hostility to it on the part of the public. But since the particulars of the treaty have tran spired it has not been found that the annexation of Alaska, as it is called, has excited any particular interest or gratification. In fact, I think moat people sorely begrudge the 7 , 000,000 in gold which is to be paid for it. This discontent now natur ally finds expression through the House of Repre sentatives, as it has hitherto had no share in the affair, whilst the Senate mast stand by its bargain, so there is a strong movement in the house to refuse to vote the money for the purchase. Of Course the constitution lodges in the hands of the President and Senate the treaty-making power, land of course there is hardly any treaty which does not involve some outlay of money, which has to be voted by the house. Therefore, say the friends of the executive, the house has no right to refuse to enable the President to fulfil agreements into which he has formally and constitutionally entered. Perhaps it has not, but then, unfortunately, whether it has the right to do it or not, if it does it there is no help for it. The only reliance in such cases is on the moderation and good sense of 'the members of the house. There is no power lodged anywhere even under the constitution which can force them to vote money, if they do not wish to do so. The Supreme Court cannot Fent • man damus against them. I do not believe the house will push the matter to extremes. The incident is worthy of notice mainly as an illus tration of the ueoeuity there is for moderation and forbearance under any constitution, however carefully framed, and therefore of the folly of Mr. Johnson's mune, in not only differing from Congress, but in exasperating it. The bill repealing the cotton tax got safely through the house, but it hangs fire in the Senate, somewhat owing to radical hostility to it, but somewhat also to the unwillingness of many mem bers to repeal any tax in this way by itself, without waiting for the report of Mr. Wells, the Commissioner of Revenue, and • general revision of the whole system of taxation. There is much to be said in favour of delay on this last-named ground; but, on the other hand, it is undeniable that the tax is killing the cotton crop. It amounts to twenty-five per cent. on the market value, which is simply a differential duty of that amount in favour of foreigners. The larger portion of this year's crop is still held by the growers, waiting for the decision of Congress ; but they cannot, of course, hold it very long, as they cannot afford it, and once it goes into the market, nothing can he done till next year. The negroes are suffering as much from the tax as any body, and they know it ; and I see that one coloured man who offered himself as • candidate for Congress in Georgia, put forward the removal of the cotton tax as his sole object in going to Congrees. Another important step has been made in the matter of reconstruction. It has been found that the prevision of the bill which made the votes of a majority of the registered voters necessary to the calling of a constitutional convention, has resulted simply in putting a new weapon of obstruction in the hands of recalcitrant Southerners. They regis - ter themselves in great numbers, and then abstain from voting at all when the question of calling or not calling • eonventicn comes up for decision, which is in some cases more effective than their simple vote against it would be. This it is now proposed to change ; the majority of votes cast at the election, whether the majority of those registered or not, will be suelcient to ensure the tolling of the convention. The bill making this change was brought into the house by Mr. Thaddeus Stevens, and some anxiety has prevailed—perhaps curiosity would be a more accurate term—to see whether he would propose or insist on any further changes, or seek to impose on the South any further conditions of restoration. He has not done so, however, but on the contrary professes his entire willingness to hasten the restotstion of the States on the present basis as rapidly as possible.

NEW YORK, Dac. 21. I have seen no defence of Mr. Stanton as yet against the President's last thrust, which is entirely successful. The Tribune tried to show yesterday morning that the despatch the President himself received from New Orleans before the riot was as explicit as that received by Mr. Stanton, and prints them in parallel columns ; but I do not think it very much improves Mr. Stanton's case. If Mr. Stanton did not think the matter of sufficient importance to show his despatch to the President, it is hard to blame the President for not being more excited and perspicacious. Mr. Stanton's hos tility to the Tenure of Office Bill nobody has attempted to explain away. As I said in my last letter, I do not believe the affair will go any further. • CIIKAP GLASS BOTTLES.—The LONDON uTot.:K of the AIRE and CALDER OLAJOI BOTTLE COB \ V is for SALE, at REDUCED PRICES. the premises at Yree 'lr.!.

[ln the article to which Mr. Sidney refers we carefully abstained from expressing any opinion of our own as to the merits of the case. "The conflict and contnidiction of evidence," we said, " were such that tho jury have been unable to agree upon a verdict. We shall not attempt to draw the positive conclusion which they have shrunk from establishing." We confined ourselves to stating tho facts of the case, and the counter theories of the plaintiff and the defendant, and we did this, on the information before us, with laborious im partiality. With respect to the imputed posting in London of the letter which Mr. Sidney calls his " death-warrant"--• puddling which, Mr. Sidney ulnas, would, if proved, have been conclusive spirant him—we followed the report of Mr. Sidney's woes examination in the Tines newspaper. "He (Mr. Sidney) stated in his direct examination he was obliged to post it in Dublin. It bore, however, the London postmark, and he would not swear that be did not pod it there."

The agitation about the rights of American citizen/ abroad, of which I spoke some weeks ago, has been making progress, and has now got before the Senate, where I think some action about it will be taken. The Germans in particular are greatly excited about it, owing to the large number who fall victims nearly every year to the Prussian conscription on visiting their native country. The only ground of offence against Great Britain of which I have yet heard relates to the Fenian, and particularly Warren. The Fenian agitators have arrived at the conclusion—l do not profess to know how— that every foreigner tried for a criminal offence in Great Britain is entitled, under the law of nations, to a mixed jury. I am bound to say, however, that the idea originated in one of the Fenian papers in Dublin, which declared that the denial of a jury of half foreigners was a cases WU. Some of the American papers, all those I have seen which took any notice of the matter at all, merle a good deal of fun of this discovery ; but the Fenian, here took it up, with their usual acumen, in solemn earnest, and declaim about it a good deal at their meetings. The American public are not, however, in the least moved by the Fenian grievances per et ; but they are strongly disposed to have the effect of their naturalisation laws put on a new footing. The opinion is general which I repro duced when speaking of this matter some weds ago, that the old doctrine of allegiance cannot stand in this age, when men are emigrating almost in nations ; and I must say, I cannot well see what object Great Britain could have in try ing to maintain it. If a man who wishes her well transfers his allegiance to this country, she simply gains a friend in a community white Meads may probably prove more useful to her Idiom in any other in the world. If a man whe la hostile to her does so, and afterwards *month I ads of hostility against her, she simply diminishes 'the responsibility of the United States by still I claiming him as a subject. She would, I am seta ' fled, gain in every way by tbe peewee of a de claratory act releasing every Irishman settled in America, who has either been naturalised, or filed a declaration of his intention to be nate relined, from all allegiance to her.
