THE IENIAN NEWS.

The exciting news received here by teie-
graph to-day Is of such a character as to war;
rant the belief that the present Fenian move
ment on Canada is a bett n concerned and more
threatening one than the late Eastport fizzle.
At any rate it will exercise the vigilance and
marital ardor of our neighbors on the frontier
for q few days, If the news is not exaggerated.
The TACT OF the capture OF Fort Erie seems TO
be well established. This is a rather formida-
BILE fertilization, of stone masonry, in Upper
Canada, at the commencement OF the Niagara
river, Immediately opposite Black Rock, in
New York. 1t is rumored that other points
are to be attacked, and that the army of inva-
sion is being rapidly augmented by accessions
from the Eastern and Western States. The
line Of march OF the attacking column would
seem to be from Fort Erie, down the Niagara
river to the Suspension Bridge, a distance Of
about twenty miles. What they propose to do
after their arrival a. that point, if the blue
noses allow them to get there, is not stated,
and we hazard no conjectures

TIE CHoLERA.-Eleven new cases Of cholera

eight on the steamer Peruvian, at the lower
quarantine, New York. The number of sick
ON the hospital ship on May 30 from the steam .

.Day before yesterday John Fitzgerald, re.
siding at No. IA Cherry street, was taken vic.
lently Ill, and yesterday morning he died His
illness lasted scarcely twenty -four hours, and
was accompanied by an unmistakable chol.
eraie diarrhea- The deceased lived in very
insalubrious part Of the city. upon the top moor
OF rear tenement house, and in all probability
lacked that Intelligence which might have
saved ms life, II properly directed, upon the
appearance Of the first symptoms Of disease
~The second case Is that Of q woman named
Carrigan, residing at No. 200 Sixth avenue.
The case Is q mild form Of cholera, or a eyere
one OF cholera morbus, and had not fully de.
veioped itself when the report was made. II
was REGARDED, however, as sufficiently danger.
Gus TO be made known TO the health ofiicers
The patient resides in the back room, on the
second feor Of the building, and fmmediateIy
over q livery stable. In the former case \
post-ootfun examination will probably be held
this morning; In the latter, Ii Is possible that
the life OF the patient may be saved"

RECONCILIATION

In answer To many inquiries concerning the
plan OF the Senaie's Republican party's caucus
for what Is enormously termed - reconstruc-
tiou," we have to say that it shows a far more
hopeful state OF things among the members of
that body than had been heretofore exhibited.
Thus, IL amounts TO an advance on their part
to positions early taken by the President. Not
only thus taken by him, hut, in the main, al
ready consummated under his advice by the
legislatures and conventions of the States
whose citizens were lately in rebellion. In
view Of this palpable fact, the simple question
arises, whether it is a point of importance to
the country that these ends, already virtually
attained, should be relabeled with the especial
senatorial label Mr.. Towards several amend
ments propose.
1.-THE majority of the Senate are in earnest
In their advance to the sensible and patriotic
conclusions on some points, to which their
caucus arrived, the country may look for the
speedy admission of the loyal Senators from
Tennessee and Arkansas to their seats, with.
out conditions or qualifications. Otherwise,
their action in caucus must inc vitably be taken
by the country to be potning more than an ef-
fort TO avert, in approaching elections, the dam
aging effect of the late radical rule Of Messrs
Sumner and Stevens, without thought of res.
cuing their parry aud the country from the
heretofore imperious dietation OF those gentle-
men. What the country now wants is, in few
words, the adoption by Congress of the policy
that has been brought 20 the verge OF compile
tion by the Administration. The Presidents
policy is thus defined by the Secretary of
State, in his Iate.speech AT Auburn. Namely:
THAT so FAR AND so PAST AS THE W.
REPRESENTED STATES PRESENT THEMSELVES
IN A LOYAL ATTITUDE, BY REPRE- jENTATIyEs
PROFESSIONALLY LOYAL, THEY ARE EyTI-
TIED TO REPRESENTATION IN CONGRESS
