The Rump Senate Attempts to
OverrrIe the Veto,

chiefly devoted to Goldfish politics and an
insane passion for niggers, and pretending

The vote stood 33 to 15-DIxoN, of Connec-
ticut, being sick in body, and MORGAN, OF
New York, a supposed friend of the veto,
sick in mind.
But five days ago the President of the
UNITED STATES. In n formal proclamation,
declared obfcidlly--what all the world knew
unollicinlly-that war was at an end aud
peace restored. Hence, the SENATE of the
UNITED STATES is composed of more than
seventy members. Ticenty-tteO of these
members are forcibly and violently kept
ont of their seats by the radical party.

of that desperate party, so far from being

and are attempting to flsten Illegal and
unconstitutional legislation upon an un-

DO these men expect the people to wit
ness their crimes and remain quiet? DO
they expect the American people to sit idly
by and behold with apathy second and

infamous schemesY

why may not the majority organize and

We look to the President to maintain

Hit it the First Guess.

Says the Cincinnati National URion-in-
dependent Republican-we may expectan-
other howl from the Radicals, consequent
upon the last proclamation of the President
declaring the insurrection at an end. They
evince by their actions that they want it to
last just as long as possible. They are fear
ful that with the return of peace, the Re
publican party, having accomplished its
mission, in the destruction of slavery, viii

A Great Fenian Enterprise-Brit
ish Bermuda in Danger.

Anxious seekers after the sensational
must have been intensely gratifled when
they read the flaming headlines of the
New York Herald, of Thursday. Only think
of the sailing from that "neutral port" for
the British Island of Bermuda, the day be-
fore. of two formidable, armed, lodr Uessels
three iron steamers, carrying 5000 men,
and followed by two steamers, with $500
soldiers. Other vessels are reported to have
sailed, from various ports in the United
States all for Bermuda. Altogether there
was quite ferment in Fenian circles over
the new war-like movement supposed to be
under way.
Five or six hundred men have gone in
small squads to Machias, Maine, there to
embark for their destination in schooners.
Two printing presses accompany the eX-
pedition, and as soon as landing is effected,
proclamations will be issued to Fenians of
the United States to join them. There are
some British troops on the island, who are
to be attacked by superior numbers.
A Provisional Government is to be or
ganized, and President elected New
Brunswick is to be conquered, Congress
established, &c.

Possibly, however, we should not treat
such matters rs this as entirely sensational
and of no reliability, for, yesterday, at
Washington, the Uouse Committee on For
eign Affairs agreed TO report a joint resolu-
ton TO send naval fleet to the fishing
grounds, to protect the rights of American
fishermen, and at the same time TO preserve
the peace. The resolution is understood to
meet the views of Secretary Seward. Il is
also charged that large numbers of Fenians
have gone there in the guise of fishermen,
tor the purpose, 1t is intimated, of bringing
on collision.
There may be some fire in the neigbbor-
hood of so much smoke. We win see it
