THE FENIANS ARMING.
The Discovery OF Ammunition and Accom-

The Fenlans are evidently preparing for war
while they are quarrellng, and the vague re-
ports, so frequently circulated, that they are
making purchases OF arms, has at last a foun-
dation. II appears that the Fenians purchase
secretly, and carry their ammunition about in
the night, which accounts for the privacy of
their movements.
The contributions to the cause are more lib
eral now than they ever have been before, and
both the O'Mahoney party and the Roberts par
~ having pledged themselves TO make n adem-
onstration" on England, are exerting them
selves, it is supposed, with great energy.
The following account of the discovery of a
Fenian with ammunition. this morning, has
been obtained from police headquarters:
At about two O'Clock this morning Oficer
OConnor, OF the tenth precinct saw q man
driving team OF horses with a wagon through
Grand street There Were six large dry goods
boxes on the wagon. The officer thought the
actions of the man suspicious: he, accordingly
questioned him and received contradictory an
swers.
The man was therefore arrested and taken IN
the station house, where he gave the name OF
Dennis o Sullivan. After equiyocatlng for a
considerable time, O'Sullivan said thai the
goods in his possession were military eouip-
ments and ammunition belonging TO the Feni
ans, and that he was taking them down touCn
according TO orders"
Mr.. O'Sullivan was detained at the s,a,iop
until nine O'Clock this morning when he uas
sent before Superintendent Kennedy. That
gentleman gave the unlucky Fenian one of his
Justice Shandley.
In the meantime, Captain Davis, of the 18th
precinct, received letter from Colonel John
U Mahoney, "Head Centre of the Fenians
stating that the ammunition and eauipments
oelonged TO him. This letter being shown 10
Justice Shandley, the magistrate discharged
OSulliyan, and the ammunition was given
INTO his possession. The seizure of the proper
~ was made on suspicion that IL had been
stolen; but the facts having been explained, the
police magistrate had no jurisdiction.-S. T.

Count Bismark is said to have declared that the

Austria, to be insufficient, and Prussia will continue
her armamen According to another statement, he
had briefly replied to Karalie in a note j~ustifying
the movements OF Prussia by those of Austria, but
regulating the idea Of attacking Austria. The

unfavorabie impression in Vienna.

The Reform agitation continued in England. Tho
events Of the week had been, demonstrations at
Liverpool in honor of Mr.. Gladstone grand ban
quet on one day, and a mass reform meeting the next.
The enthusiasm ran high for the reform measure.
Mr.. Gladstone made two brilliant speeches, ~enphati-
cally declaring that the Government would stand or
fall upon the question. He warmly e~ulOgized Amer
lea, and pointed to her exertions liz the late war as q
proof of the benefits resulting from trust in the peo-
pie. and contended that England should learn q lesson
from il.
John Bright addressed q large reform meeting at
Rockdale on the 4th. He advocated the reform bill,
and strongly denounced the Tory party. 1t is expected
that the Government majority on the reform bill will
exceed twenty.
The political excitement on the German question
runs high IN Paris, and it is positively reasserted
that France is quietly getting an army OF observation
and strengthening her garriscns.

The Door for the Capitol.

The great Washington door for the new
Capitol at Washington is being flashed
at the Ames works in Chieepee, where
two entire years have been spent upon it.
Many of the panels are already compIeted-
and the work Is progressing as fast as its
peculiar complexity will allow Designed
by tie lamented Crawford just previous
to his death, it was his Chef d'oeuv,e-
Had he survived, undoubtedly the contract
tor casting, would have gone to Munich.
like its predecessor, the Columbus historic
door, sach was his prejudice against his
country IN this respect. The massive
door has eight panels, four on G side.
embiematic respectively of peace and war.
On the side devoted to peace, commencing
at the bottom, is a group of Washington
and his family, representing the peacefuF
condition of the country at the close. of
the Revolutionary struggle Next above
is the ovation at Trenton, then a scene
representing the administration of the
oath of Office, and crowning this section
is the laying OF the cornerstone of the
Capitol building. The war side has first
a panel symbolizing the stern ideal of
deadly stEiTe-a British grenadier, fully
a rude log cabin, whose sinewy arm has
sent him reeling to the ground, while the,
stalwart yeoman's wife is seen handing,
her husband his trusty frelock, in case
he should need it. Above this is the bay-
onet charge at Trenton-then the rebuEe
Of Gen. Lee by Washington, at Monmouth
and finally the death of Gen. Warren.
The pannel representing the reprimand
OF General Lee Is a most striking and life
like scene. Washington had ALWAYS. il
seems suspected Lee of disloyaty, and on
this occasion found that he had not only
failed utterly TO carry out his express
orIers, but had actually ordered and COM
menced a most cowardly retreat. Wash
ington Is seen as having ridden rapidly to
where he meets Lee under a tree, and
rising in the stirrups of his saddle, admin
listers a rebuke that droops the traitors as
much as Lees military salute to his chief
tain has his sword 1t is said that this
was the only instance in which Washing
ton was ever known TO use language even
bordering on profanity. The singular
thing about this particular panel is, that
Jeft. Davis was one Of the commissioners
to examine Crawford's designs for this
historic and conspicuous piece of work for
the new Capitol-the wonder being that
he, or any other Southern man should
have consented to emblazon this whitening
shame on one of the most chiyalric sons
of the South. Yet 50 it is-and let the
sympathizers with their fitting represeu-
tative, in the person of Robert e. Lee,
remember the prophecy of the panel, and
lis historic verihcation of TODAY.

The Generals of the Regular
Army.

The quick promotion of Sherman to the
rank lately held by Grant, and Porter to
that of Farragut, will please everybody
The army have IN the establishment of
the new rank of General an especial and
professional pleasure, as it completes the
round of grades. Hitherto we have had
no rank to correspond with the highest
commands in our army.
During the late war Major General
commanded hundred other Major Gem
erals, which IS rs though a Colonel should
command an army corps. This anomaly
is now remedied. The promotion of Han
cock to GeneralShip in the regular army
will be regarded as fir recognition of the
brilliant and important services of one of
the most prominent subordinate COM
manders of the army of the Potomac, who
was always-from the first fight at Will
liamsburg to the last campaign under
Grant and Meade-disti uguished for the
vigor of his movements, as well as for
gallantry which continually led him aud
his command into the hardest and thick
est OF the fighting. OfGeneral Ord, who
is promoted to the Brigadier Generalship
made vacaut by Hancock's elevation, We
can say that there Is not in the service a
more thorough or faithful officer. In the
West he was favorite of Gen. Grant, and
in the Eastern army be fully maintained
his reputation and standing.
The Generals of the regular army now
rank IN the order of their names in the
following list: General, Ulysses S. Grant;
Lieutenant General. VIM. 7. Sherman !;
Major Generals, Henry w Halleck, Geo.
G. Meade, Philip Fl. Sheridan, George
II. Thomas, Winfield S. Hancock Brig
adler Generals, Irwin M'DoweH, Wm. s.
Rosecrans, Philip St. George Cooke, Jno.
Pope, Joseph Hooker, John NJ. Schofeld,
Oliver o. Howard, Alfred IL. Terry, E.
O. @. Ord.
OF all these, General Terry, the bril-
liant captor of Fort Fisher, and faithful
commander in Virginia, is the only officer
drawn from civil life. All the others
were educated at West Point but Grant,
Sherman, Hooker, Howard aud Haiieck
were in civil life when the war broke out,
having resigned from the army after the
MEXICAN war
