Mr.. Shea, of the counsel for jeff Davis,
made motion before Judge Underwood, in
Chambers, in order to test the jurisdiction Of
the court in Virginia involving the power to
hold the prisoner to bail, it being judicial
question with which the President of the
United States has nothing to do 1t is stated
that Judge Underwood expressed the opinion,
which has always been insisted upon by Chief
Justice Chase, that SO long as martial law
or military surveillance was enforced 10 Vir-
GINA the courts were mere adjunct, and
used in aid of the military power sd-
Mr.. O'Conor, the senior counsel, of Mr.. Da-
Wis, was present, with Attorney General
Speed, and Ex-Governor Pratt was among
the auditors. Judge Underwood declined to
exercise his power to issue writ of habeas
corpus to bring the prisoner before his court, un-
til he had received from the President reln-
punishment of the accused to the power of the
civil authorities, Mr. Davis being now priS-
oner of war.
Judge Underwood reduced his opinion to
writing, which, having been given to counsel,
was taken to the President by Mr.. OConor.
All further action in the premises is, therefore,
suspended until the future order of the gov
eminent. 1t is stated, on the authority Of
one of the counsel, that no application was
made by them to Chief Justice Chase with
reference to bail within the last two days.
jeff. Davis's friends, professional and other
wise, have had free access to him at Fortress
Monroe.

Ethiopia FrOwns Upon Erin.

The Fenians have been truly unlucky.
They quarreled among themselves The o.
MAHoNEY faction broke off from the ROBERTS,
SWEENEY party, and then Mr.. Head Centre
STEPHENS denounced them both. This was
bad enough; but when the PRESIDENT pub
lished his proclamation, and General MEADE,
with dozen or more active Lieutenants, came
into the field, the Republic went incontinently
sup" that historic "spout" consecrated to de-
parted nationalities. But, sad as this story is,
the worst remains to be told. The bre:th
was not yet out of the body polite of the
martial and peripatetc Republic, when ga
large and influential meeting of colored men
was held at the Masonic Hall, West-Sixteentl,
street, New York, to protest against the as
ISOLATION of their names with the Fenian move
ment This was the object, as stated by the
chairman Of the meeting, A committee was
of course appointed in customary form, with
all necessary parliamentary pomp, ito pre-
pare business for the conside ration of the
meeting" and after due deliberation, reported
preamble and resolutions declaratory of their
views. These read as follows;
Whereas, 1t has been reported in the papers
of the day, that delegations of colored men
had offered their services to the leaders OF the
Fenian movement; and
Whereas, Such reports tend to convey the
idea that the colored men OF New York are
in favor of said Fenian movement; and
Whereas, The reverse is the fact; therefore
be it
Resolved, That the colored men of New
York are now, as they ever have been III the
past, law-abidng citizens, and that In the fu-
ture, as in the past they will be found on the
side of law and order.
Resolved, That the people of Ireland, and

all men and classes of men before the law, for
the spread Of those great and grand principles
of human brotherhood which underlie true
civilization, deserve and have our most hearty
sympathy, and that we will, in all proper and
lawful ways, aid such movements. yN
Resolved, That we believe that the Ameri-
can Government is capable of settling its diff
ferences with England, or any other Power,
as becomes a nation, without resorting to the
unbecoming method Of allowing dissatisfied
persons in its territories to pass over the bor-
ders of friendly Power for the purpose of
levying war against, that Power.
Resolved, That our faith in the people and
Government of the United States, in their
love of right and their determination to en-
force equal and exact justice for all men within
their jurisdiction, is so abiding that we will
not allow ourselves to be drawn into any act
or word that shall tend to lower US in the es-
timation of the people, or embarrass the Gov
eminent in keeping faith with its neighbors.

Chairman, No 667 Eighth ave.
JOHN D. BAGwELI, Secretary.
This settles the matter It's all stuff for
the Fenians to talk about the action of the
Government--the meeting at Masonic Hall
wasamply sufficient to bring the business to an
end. We admire the sentiments contained
in the two last lines of the concluding resolu-
ton, and trust that the "colored men, as a
class, will adopt and act on them. In the
meantime, we commend this document to the
Fenians, as something quite worthy their con-
sideration; for as the meeting at Masonic Hall
took ground against the invasion Of Canada
and backed up the Government, the failure
of the movement was at once assured In
their disappointment, it may be some COM
fort for the Fenians to know, that they at
tempted simple impossibility Ethiopia

been made in the physical sciences, both of
which promise to be of substantial service to
the world. The first is the discovery by M.
TELLER, French chemist, of motive pow
er capable of being carried in receivers, and
transported in this manner, like tbs giant
bottled up in the casket fshed out of the lake
by the poor fsherman--a prodigious force in
small compass He claims for this invention
that with twenty pounds of the agent, which
is iquifed Ammonia, a force equal to one
horse power can be maintained for one hour
If the omnibus drivers could only be informed
of this fact, it would prolong their lives by
the stimulant of hope, as it is proposed to ap-
ply it as a substitute for horse-hesh in public
conveyances.
But its advantages are by no meaas limited
to this BERG-like relief of the unhappy quad
rupeds that dray, diligence or cab.
"M. Teller sums up the various applica-
tons of his invention as follows: l. Adapta-
ton to elevated railroads. 2. Circulation in
tunnels and places where the combustion Of
y.
ment on cross roads and city railroads 4. In
the working of mines.
And finally we may expect to see the
humorous fiction of portable engines for coat
pockets realized in Broadway and Wall street
and inultitudes of PANKsEs shooting impetu-
oasly along, propelled by Ammonia, to keep
their appointments.
The second discovery is claimed by Mr..
ADDISON SMITH. He decomposes the air and
uses its nitrogen for the purposeof preventing
decomposition. 1t is asserted that he has re-
duced his theory to practice, and that the ap-
paratus used is simple and cheap.
1t can be applied to the preservation of
fruits, fish and vegetables, so that the hog fish
of Hampton Roads may be eaten at MEU-
RIoEs, or FENToN's; while in turn white-bait
may be enjoyed in New York without pill
grinage to Greenwich.
The cheremoya of India, the alligator pear
of the Antilles. and the giant asparagus Of
Cadiz, may be brought to New York, or Nor
folk, with their original flavor preserved-de-
tying IN trdnsitu time, and that great decom-
poser, oxygen.
The patentee will, of course, make for
tune, for some how or other people do, and
will continue to, crafty their appet,tes. Din
ners are matters about which no man is indif-
ferent and when we consider what an infu-
ence the hospitable mahogany exercises on the
laws of legislative assemblies, aud the dcliber-
ations of cabinets, we must feel obliged to Mr.
SMITH for having hit upon a plan which is
calculated to put the law makers of both
hemispheres in a good humor
But it can be applied to a far different pur-
pose. The art of the old Egyptian embalmer,
which has transmitted to us some very bat
terrell and disreputable looking specimens of
!, yalty, is thrown entirely into the shade by
MIR. SMITHS process, and we shall expect
Nings and Queens hereafter, to be slowed
away in glass cases, like SO much wax work,
at once monuments to the affection of their
subjects, and testimonials of the ingenuity of
the immortal SMITH.
