NEW YORK, MAY 16, Moronsa.
President Johnson sent to the Senate yesterday
his veto upon the Bill admitting Colorado as a
State into the Union. The Senate adjourned
without reading the veto message, the promulgation
of which was consequently suppressed.
In the House of Representatives, Mr. Chandler
(democrat) has offered a resolution declaring the
President's course to be patriotic and constitutional
in seeking to protect by his veto and power the
rights of the people against the wicked and revolu-
tionary acts of malignant and mischievous
men. The action of the President, he said,
merited the approval of the house, and deserved
the support of all loyal men. Mr. Chandler also
moved that the freedmen's bureau, being unneces-
sary, should be abolished. The house rejected the
resolution by 82 against 22 votes, and afterwards
passed a resolution censuring Mr. Chandler for
attempting a gross insult to the house.
The house has passed a bill prohibiting the
denial of the right of suffrage in territories on ac-
count of colour.

The President has signed the amendment to the
Habeas Corpus Act, protecting military officers
from civil prosecutions for acts done in discharge
of official duties.
The indictment against Mr. Davis specifies that
on the 15th of June, 1864, he conspired, with
others, at Richmond, to overthrow, by force of
arias, the government of the Muted States.
It is reported that his trial will take place early
in June, and that Chief Justice Chase has con-
sented to preside, if Mr. Johnson will proclaim the
abrogation of martial law so far as the jurisdiction
of the district court of Virginia is concerned.
The health of Mr. Davis is rapidly failing. The
President has ordered a special report of his phy-
sical condition to be made, and the rigour of his
confinement to be immediately relaxed.
Mr. Davis is said to have expressed great pleasure
at the prospect of his speedy trial, and to have
, declared that he can make a successful defence.
General Santa Anna has arrived at Washington.
He denies the current rumours that he is acting in
connivance with the Emperor Maximilian. It is
reported that he comes to promote the interests of
the republican cause in Mexico.
The cholera has disappeared in the Halifax
quarantine, and is rapidly abating in the New
York quarantine.
The City of Paris, Germania, Moravian, and
Java have arrived out.

A Fenian mass meeting took place yesterday at
Jones Wood, but it was not so large or enthu-
siastic as was anticipated. The Senate faction took
no part in the proceedings, and neither Roberts nor
Sweeny was present.
Stephens delivered a long speech describing the
origin and progress of Fenianism.
General Hooker visited Stephens yesterday.
Several circles, and a number of prominent
Fenians, declare that they will still adhere to the
Senate faction, which continues to occupy the
premises in Broadway, and conduct business inde-
pendently of Stephens.
No funds are being raised by either faction be-
yond occasional individual donations.
