The United Service Gazette says the Gov
eminent are perfectly cognizant of the fact
that the Fenians in large numbers are arming
in Ireland every week. The military forces
stationed in Ireland will therefore not be di-
minished this year or next.
LIVERPOOL, Dec. 2,
There are indications of trouble here from
the Irish population, and precautionary steps
are being taken by Government with the
view to its prompt suppression. Orders for
English volunteers to leave for Ireland have
been countermanded as their services may be
required at hume.

Fenian, has been arrested by Government
officials herr and placed in Blackwell Prison

glish officials in making arrests which have
been made all over the country, and they
grow more numerous hourly.

4 New CAsE.-At the recent term
of the Probate Court of this county, an
application was made by freedman
for a testimonial authorizing him TO
solemnize the rites Of matrimony in
this State. As this is probably the
first case of this kind, we have inquired
into the particulars for the benefit of
our readers, and now give them the
result
The Code provides that any minis
ter of the gospel ordained according
to the rules of his society, imay solem-
nize the rites of martimony between
any free white person within this State,
who shall produce a license provided.
that he shall have produced to the
Probate Court of some county in the
State credentials ofhis ordination, and
Of his beng in regular communion
with the Christian society of which he
is a member, and shall have obtained
from such court a testimonial, author
ling him to solemnize the rites Of
matrimony in this State.
The freedmen produced, ia support
of his application, the certificate of his
ruling elder, showing that the Confer
ence with which he is connected had
licensed him as a local preacher. 1t
anpears in testimony that this certifi-
cate was evidence that the freedman
was a licentiate only; and that person
licensed as a local preacher must
serve in that capacity four years be
fore he can he ordained.
The court held that such a eerun-
cate could not be received as creden-
tials of ordination in the ease OF a
white minister of the gospel, and that
no discrimination could or ought to be
made in favor of colored person.
The application was Therefore refused.

Honor. to the Confederate Dead.
The last of MAY in Richmond =

The last Of May in Richmond was
devoted to paying tribute to the hero
ic dead who lie buried in the Holly
wood and other cemeteries. The fol
lowing eloquent description of tie
ceremonies appears in the Examiner
The dead encampment' was sup
/ posed to be the scene of the floral offer
ing ofthe Ladies Hollywood memorial
/ Association, more especially, and
thither, climbing the steep gravelly
hill, the greater portion of the multi
tude first directed their steps The
sight Of this opening period of the
1 ceremonies was grand. Spread out in
view was the vast expanse Of graves
the army in repose awaiting the deco
ration Of love and veneration, the
wreath OfhOnor. This was the spoor
privates encampment, and they slept
in humble graves. but they were not
to be forgotten Around and among
the graves were the thousands gather
ed to scatter the tributes.
The grateful breeze blew lightly in
the oaks, signing through the branch
IS a. though in sympathy with the
scene. Each grave received three or
more offerings a wreath.
bOquet and a sprig-and woman's
hand was the busiest in the distribu-
ton. Many tear fell yesterday in
that dead encampment, though they
fell unseen, and upon the graves Of
unknown and nameless heroes. They
were the tears of women. who have a
tear for all, and the tears Of surviving
comrades who, in their distribution,
came upon the graves of comrades who
fought at their side But though most
of the distributors were strangers to
the dead while living, a bond Of sym
pathy stronger than that Of brothers
made them friends on this memorial
occasion.
And can we be permitted to indulge
in the pleasing hope that the army of
disembodied spirits, to whose mould
ering forms the thousands did honor
yesterday, were witnesses to the touch
ing rites paid by the living to the dead
that their spirits, lowering, blessed the
donors and the day The spirit train
Of Stuart, Morgan, Ashby, and the
host of them that rode through death
into enternity, did they not pass down
these leafy aisles of the tombs. with
Stouewall at their head. Did no spir-
it-sabre clank, unseen, unheard, at
Stuart side; no voice, commanding,
come from Stonewall's lips? Did no
bugle sound, unEeard by the living
thousands gathered there, to summon
up the shadowy review
Alas for speculation. They are
gone. The young, the brave. the
brilliant-they are dust But we will
do this honor to their dust-heap up
their graves mound like, from year to
year, make them green and tiowery,
and keep their memories nurtured in
our hearts
The supply of flowers were exhausted
before all the graves were crowned,
but we viii crown them yet. No
grave there shall neglected or forgot
ten be. Wen make another call, and
spring, with a fearful eve, will empty
her full lap into the ladies' arms.
