Fenian bonds are in circulation in the city

They are bonds on the Marquis of Water

York. 1t is calculated, no doubt, that some
Of Lord Waterfords tenants will cash these
bonds, believing that they viii thereby Sc

reason to believe that similar bonds upon
Irish estates have arrived in other parts OF
the country.

The SPEECH AT THE COURT HOUSE i Es-
TERDAY.-One of the city papers announced,
for two days, that the Radical candidate for
the Legislature in opposition to Maj. Lewis,
would address the people of the county in
this city at the Court House yesterday after
noon at o'clock We made every prepare
ton to have a full verbatim report of the
speech beforehand, and are only prevented
from laying it before our readers this morn
ing by the conclusive reason that no speech
was delivered on the occasion. The reason
why the speech was not delivered, we sup
pose to be that there was no audience.N One,
and only one, of the nominating thirty-one,
was present at the appointed hour; and after
he looked at the candidate awhile, and the
candidate looked at him for an equal space,
they adjourned to meet somewhere else on
another occasion. Thinking our special re-
porter might be overwhelmed with the mag
nitude of the task we had imposed upon
him, we went ourselves to the Court House
20 give him such assistance as might be ne
necessary; but when we reached the
spacious corridors of the second story,
we saw our reporter sitting discon-
ISOLATE on the window-sill overlooking
the market square, and vainly cudgeling his
brain for an item, however small, to fill the
space in these columns, reserved specially
for the speech" After spending half an
hour in anxious suspense for the perform
snce TO begin, we went up to tie spacious
hall in the third story, under the impress
sion that the crowd might be so large that the
lower rooms would not accommodate it. But
the door to that, too, was locked; and, upon
peeping through the lSeyhole to ascertain if
il were possible that there was secret gath
ering, we saw inscribed ON the front of the
stand, in golden letters, the beautiful word
"Obncordid." We then knew Of certainty
that that was not the place for the speech of
the Radical candidate; and descended. As
we again reached the second floor, we met
three "so-called copperheads, anxiously
| inquiring for the forum of radical eloquence.
We could give them no information; and
very soon afterwards, as a person assembled
from below, the eyes of the aforesaid copper
heads were distended unusually, and we
heard them whispering to each other the
fearful words, " That is Mtilliasi" We
then Leland this is all of "the speech Z"
that we have to report a

BURIAL OF GEN. ROBERT ITATrON-
IMPOSING CEREMONIES.

From the Lebanon Herald March 25th.l
Yesterday was day long to be remem-
bered by the citizens, young and old, ofLeb-
anon. 1t was the occasion of the burial of
allthat was mortal of General Robert Hatton,
the statesman, patriot and hero.
Gen. Hatton was killed in the memorable
charge on the Nine Mile Road, at the battle
of Seven Pines, on the 31st day of May, 1852,
while CALAMITY leading the Tennessee bril-
gade. Perhaps no man in the Confederacy
had SO endeared himself to his command,
and, as will be readily supposed, his loss was
almost irreparable.
Notwithstanding the inciemency of the
weather yesterday, crowds from all parts of
the county began to collect at an early hour.
We also noticed great many persons from
other parts of Gen. Hatton's district
The Odd Fellows, of which order General
Hatton was =. G.. Master, conducted the
funeral service in their usual impressive and
solemn manner. A large delegation from
remains to this place, among them we no
ticed the following officers of the Grand

TaE CINCINNATI ENQUIRER.-This we'll

great fire in Cincinnati ON Thursday night
The entire material of the establishment
was consumed. But, luckily, newspapers

They may be suspended, or consumed by
fire but they still live. Their editors and
proprietors may die and pass away forever;
but IL the paper is just and wise, honest and
true, they viii still exist snd scatter abroad
among the people its light and its influence.

THE New ORLEANS MAYoRALIrY.-The
newspapers have had much 10 say about the
late election for Mayor of New Orleans. Mr..
Monroe, the gentleman who occupied the
position when Com. Farragut made his visit
in 1869, was reelected. A Mr.. Moore was
his competitor. The factions malcontents,
who are more interestedin occupying official
positions and living at the peoples expense
than in the general welfare, telegraphed to
the President that Monroe was a "rebel,"
and consequently unfit for the position.
Andrew johnson replied that If the people
had chosen Mr.. Monroe as their Mayor, and
he could take the oath of Office prescribed
by law, he could not interfere to prevent it
neither can any other power. The Radi-
calls may as we'll understand, first as last,
that the President means to preserve as far
as il may lie in his power the rights and lib
critics Of the people Of the Union.

GEN. GRANT AND THE PRESIDENCY

The Philadelphia Press, which is trying
unsuccessfully to get up fight between the
President and General Grant, attributes to
the latter an article in the Gatena (Ills.)
Daily Gazette, written by General Grants
intimate friend" called forth by the fact
that "some time since a Republican and
Union meeting in the city Of Rochester, N.
Y, had nominated Lieutenant General
Grant as the Union candidate for The Presi-
dency in IS6S." While the attempt 30
nominate the General for that office is char
actertzed as premature agitation the wri-
Ger states that "his friends look forward
with pride and hope to the time when he
shall receive the highest Office which can be
bestowed upon him by a grateful people, as
n reward for the inestimable services he has
rendered the country" The article says
that
"He takes no part with tic President as against
Congress. and no part with Congress against the
President" His" official acts" are his present
II he freedmen bureau and the keeping the
troops in the rebel States are recorded. " His
orders for the protection Of Union men in the
South. his suppression Of disloyal papers in the
South and his opinion Of disloyal papers in the
North, are also on record" His written declar-
alton, nearly three months In advance Of Mr., Lin
coins immortal proclamation. that slavery should
be wiped out before the war was ended. is we'll
known 10 all intelligent men," This important
declaration Is succeeded by an italicsed passage.
which Is a. follows:
I'VE know that all General Grants hopes and
sympathies are with the great and patriotic Union
party Of this country"
General Grant no doubt has his ambition,
and he has that good sense, too, which win
keep him out of the hands Of the Radicals.

oSEof the most composed and philosophic
spectators Of the fearful conAagration at
Cincinnati, was Mr.. S. n. PIKE, the builder
and owner Of the Opera House, which bore
his name. He stood calmly and witnessed
one million Of dollars melt from his purse in
that brief illumination. Whilst he gazed
upon the magnificent spectacle, a thiefpicked

sion shows him possessed of heroic soul
worthy Of all admiration. Such misfor-
tune to other millionaires would have killed

lum turned the rest grey, and shut them

THE TWO PER CENT. TAX.

We regard the existing tax Of two per
cent. on all merchandise sold in this State
as :he heaviest Of all our burdens. IL is not
only the merchants that are crushed by il,
but the people at large. 1t operates against
both by the usual laws Of trade. The mer-
chant places il as tariff on everything he
sells, as part Of his necessary expenses, and
the consumer pays il in the bin he makes
with his merchant. But il affords advan-
tages to merchants outside Of the State, and
enables them TO undersell our own. Our
trade is thus restricted in amount, and our
merchants are compelled to add an addition
al per centage to enable them TO carry on
their business at living rate.
Why is this so ? Who laid thistax on the
merchants and people? and who continues
it? The Radicals of this county and Shelby
are very anxious 10 saddle the responsibility
of this iniquity on the Conservatives Of the
Legislature, who, TO preserve popular liber-
ty, stopped the proceedings of the Legisla-
ture. Whatever efforts they may make to
defeat the Conservatives in this county and
Shelby, or elsewhere, on this ground are
based upon falsehood, and we guard the peo-
pie against them. w f
II is a fact as well known as the records
Of the Legislature are known, that Mr.
STEELE one Of ths resigning members, on
the 10Th of February, and while there was a
full quorum in the House, offered the follow,
ing resolution
ResolDcd, That the House Grst take mp and act
upon the necessary appropriation, revenue and
local bis 70 the exclusion OF any other neas ure
now pending, which arc calculated TO produce DIS
cord In this House.
This was defeated by the Radical majority
which, laying aside all the immediate in.
terests of the people, urged that measure o
denominations which would deprive Tho
people of their Liberties, in preference t.
all other subjects.
There was never day when the majority
conld not have considered all those subjects
upon which they are now endeavoring e
make capital, and finally disposed Of them
But they did not, and for their failure de
serve the execrations of all just-mindeC
people, whatever may have been their opin
ions and actions in the past. The prim'
object Of the Radicals in our State Legislatur
is 10 disfranchise more than three-fourths o
the people, and exclude them from tn
ballot-box; and in 50 doing, to perpetual
their own questionable lease of Office an'
power. 10 accomplish this they would Sc
every material interest sunk 10 Hades; ans
they know il as well as we do.
People and merchants ! rebuke them.

NUT ron TEE RADICALS.

Gov. Cox, of Ohio, has lately issued his
requisition upon Gov. ORR, Of South Caro-
lima, for the delivery of one Of the criminals
Of the former State, Zone of the notorious
Wellington Bank robbers,) who had taken
refuge in the latter State. Gov. ORR de-
lieyercd the prisoner, and he is now in Gus
tody in Ohio
This case goes as far as any we know of to
establish the Union of which President
Johnson is the champion, in the practical
relations Of the States. If the Union is
not restored, what right has the Governor
of Ohio TO call upon the Governor of
South Carolina to deliver forgitiyes from
justice? II it is answered that South
Carolina is represented by s territorial Gov
ernor, We reply that such is not the case.
Neither is there In South Carolina even a
provisional Governor Gov. PERRY has long
since given place to the Governor elected by
the people, and Gov. ORR is clothed with
the same powers aad prerogatives that Gov.
AIKEN was in 1859, or as were any other
of that particular line of officials from the
organization of the Union to the present
time. This is only denied by the Radicals
in Congress and elsewhere.
Now, accepting the Radical theory as cor
rect, what right has Gov. Cox, or any other
Northern Governor, to call upon Gov. ORR,
or any other Southern Governor, to deliver
up a fugitive criminal? If Sumner and
Stevens are correct, there is no right what
ever; and every law-breaker at the
North could perpetrate his crimes and fly
to Southern State for refuge and immunity.
In this particular case both the Governors
agree that the Union is really restored, and
conform their official acts to that idea and
fact. But such is not the case everywhere
Suppose, for example, the newly elected
Radical Governor ofNew Hampshire should
have occasion to call on the Governor Of
| Mississippi for the extradition Of a criminal
the latter, under the Radical theory, could
justly reply that he could hold no interstate
relations with him that all persons were
freely admitted to residence and protection
in his State, subject only to its laws. What
then would the New Hampshire Governor
be able TO answer, or do?
This is shape in which the question has
not been presented, but is quite as important
as it is interesting. Will the Radicals o
Tennessee undertake to answer it, and give
US the mode Of proceeding in such case?
