Troy, September 9.-The Fenan Congress ad-
journed sane de at eight O'Clock this morning.
Except an intcrmssion OF two hours it has been
i'll Session since yesterday morning. President
Roberts was unanimously reelected President.
He delivered All eloquent response, urging the
Brotherhood 70 make renewed CXertous tor the
final effort III behalf OF LELAND. His reelection
PVes great satisfaction TO the delegates. Al
though II Is Sabbath morning, the cheering pre-
Vious to the tLal adjournment was loud and long.
The following are the Senators elect:-P. j.
Meehan, New York; William Fleming, Troy; F..
B. Gallagher, Buffalo; A.. l.. Morrison, Missouri;
James Gibbons Phladclpnla; j. G. O'Brlen,
Rochester; William McQuircs, New Haven,

mOnd, Indiana. President of the Senate, p. j.
lleehan. Speaker OF the House, j. w. Fitzge-
raid, Cincinnati, Ohio; Clerk, u. u. Carroll,
Geneva, N. Y.
General Sweeney has been deposei as Secre-
tary OF War, and his friends are very much eX-
cited III consequence. HIS successor is not
named. Rumor says it will be either General
Sheridan or General Logan. General O'NeIl
positively declined the position.
The resolution of thanks to General Banks
and Congress was adopted.
The final proceedings OF the Congress were
very harmonious. Radical changes were made
III the government OF the organization, the Con-
stitutlon being changed so as to give the Senate
more ContrCl OF affairs.
SweeneYS accounts were satisfactory, but he
was be eyed to be incompetent.
Roberts and several delegates leave for New
York this afternoon. Before leaving the Presi-
dent appointed Colonel ONeill Inspector-Gene-
raj OF The Fenian army, and Colonel Michael
bailey, of Buffalo, Chief Military Organizer.
The latter Was wounded at Limestone Ridge.
The best of feeling seems to prevail among
the delegates, although much sympathy Is eX-
pressed tor General Sweeney. He promptly
resigned his position on fault being found with
his subordmates
1t is quite evident that a bid has been made
to the Congress by the radicals. The ma jority
OF the members Of the Senate are inclined to
favor the radical party.
u. OSuivap, William j. Hynes, and James
Bre lnan have been retained as Organizers.
Sweeney's separation from the Brotherhood
it is feared, will have n most injurious effect
throughout the country. The other military
leaders were bitterly opposed TO him, and were
at the bottom of the scheme which led to his
dismissal. General 0'Nelll was unanimously
rendered his place, but declined, saying that he
was not competent ior it. 1t s presumed that
JOhnson's quarrel with General Sheridan will
c. Ctmpel the latter to resign from the army IN
which event he will be rendered the military
leadership of the Brotherhood. He is known 70
be in sympathy with the movement.
IL is acknowledged that several of the
highest civil and military digI itaries in Canada
are In active communication with the agents OF
the Brotherhood. More than six members OF
the Canadian Parliament are organizing Circles
in CANADA at present.
Should the financial returns of the Brother
hood continue to increase for the next month
or two, another movement will undoubtedly be
| made on the CANADIAN soil the coming fall All
| here are thoroughly in earnest.
