The report of the House Committee on Foreign
Affairs recommends a revision of the neutrality laws,
and declares that England has given America 130
cause to respect her sense of justice or regard for
right. It also expresses strong sympathy for the
Fenians. The committee reported a bill which the
House of Representatives passed unanimously, re-
pealing the stringent provisions of the neutrality
laws, and modifying the penalties for their viola-
tion. The bill provides that the law shall not be
construed so as to prevent the sale of America'
ships and steamers and war ammunition to the in-
habitants of other countries or Governments not at
war with the United States, and repeals the acts re-
quiring the owners and consignees of armed vessels
departing from America to give bonds for good con-
duct, and the act commanding collectors of customs
to seize and detain vessels whenever they shall have
cause to suspect they intend acts of hostility against
other Governments.
Numerous prominent Fenians were on the floor
watching the passing of the bill.
A communication from Mr. Seward was read to
the house, stating that the representation desired by
the house concerning the Fenian prisoners will be
made to the British Government. Mr. Seward
quoted a letter from himself to Sir Frederick Bruce
in June last, in which he expressed the hope that
the customary administrative law would be tempered
with special forbearance and clemency by the Can -
dian authorities.
The Judiciary Committee of the House of Re-
presentatives have reported that there is probable
cause to believe that Mr. Davis was privy to the
assassination of President Lincoln. The coratai!"
tee recommend a further investigation and spee4
trial.
