FENrAN1sM Stephens, g. 0. 1. r., in an
address at late Fenian picnic in Jones'
Wood, New York, said
cit is my deliberate intention to go to Ireland
this year, and let no man be mistaken in this.
Some men have said if were in earnest | would
not have made it public but those are men who
either by their treachery or their blunders made it
q necessity on me to do so, and it | were free
agent would not do so. choose this course only
as the least of two evils forced me- because if
did not make definite statement could not hold
the men in Ireland together, they have been so
much meddled with nor the men In this country
neither their complaints have reached me, and
it is therefore that am forced to say that will
undoubtedly be in iceland this year, for l fully
believe, even if did not go over, they could not
be held in over there, and the fight would go on
without me. If thought it would be of any gain
to delay the action | would do so and risk all my
popularity but | cannot, for they are determined
on fighting this year. and am as fully determined
on being with them, come veal or woe. No mat
ter what others say, take my word will be in
Ireland, and then the people will strike blow

The Legislature,

1t is reported that John H. Flagg,
clerk Of the House for the last two
years, will be q candidate for re-
election this fall; also that Henry
Clark, for several years Secretary OF
the Senate, will again be candidate.
They are both good officers.
OF course Hon. John ". SteUart,
will be elected speaker, as he has had
the office only ore year. and makes
an able and popular presiding officer.
As yet there are no indications of
session Of great length, though the
usual questions growing out OF Rail
roads, the General Statutes, the change
Of County seats, and the election OF
State officers, together with the rati-
fcaton Of the Constitutional amend
ment. and theeection OF United States
Senators, will make the coming Legis-
lature one of unusual interest, and
probably of the usual length.
The proposition to form u new
county out of towns in Windsor and
Windham counties, with the County
seat at Chester, will probably renew
the agitation of all questions hereto
fore pending in different portions OF
the State concerning the removal oil
county buildings, and the alteration
of county lines; and wherever the
necessary notice has been given, those
questions will come before the legis
lature. The removal of the county
buildings i'll this county cannot be
considered this fall for the want of lega
notice.
1t will devolve upon the Legislature
to make three elections for United
States Senator-onc to fill Judge
Collaner's unexpired term, one tc
succeed him, and one to fill Senator
Foot's unexpired term. 1t is wei
understood, in fact was part of tn,
arrangement when Judge Poland &C
ccptcd the nomination in the I'd dis

plcte Judge Collamers term, for tn,

Progress of Reconstruction--P and
Future.

Whoever retraces h e attempts
made to fix upon a definite plan of
reconstruction must be impressed
with the difficulties of the problem to
be solved, and inclined to look toler
antly upon the widest differences Of
opinion. To obtain essential guar
antics for what has been won by the
war, to establish the liberty of all
citizens beyond future peril, to punish
treason md exclude traitors from
power, and yet to pursue a generous
and conciliatory course towards the
masses of the southern people, is no
easy matter, and dogmatism upon the
question involved is decidedly out of
place. Those who sustain the present
plan of Congress for reconstruction
must see at least that much has been
gained by delay. If the reconstruc-
ton bill passed by Congress in June,
1864, had been signed by President
Lincoln the southern states would
az" ""'N pSOh iC pI-oCiitCu III COu-
gress, and the freedmen would have
been counted into the representative
basis without bein g enfranchised.
There would have been no such oppor-
tunity as is now presented to insist
upon the amendment equalizing rep
resentation.
The provision of the law of 1854
which was dropped out in the actual
reconstruction is more than supplied
in the pending constitutional amend
ment, which makes more compre.
hensive exclusion of ex-rebel officials
from Office. But the great gain by
the loss of the first congressional
scheme of reconstruction is the op-
portunity left for equalizing represent
alton by putting it on the voting ba-
sis. This stands upon the manifestly
Just principle that classes of citizens
excluded from political power should
not be counted in to increase the
power Of those who disfranchise them.

so he made w his mind to be frank
with the thief, and try to save, i'll moro

at once to his neighbor, told him what
he had ascertained, expressed his dc

Burning of Tenement House erri-
BILE Scenes.

About two o'clock on Monday morn
ing four-stOry tenement in Avenue
A., New York. was discovered to be
on fire. The officer who first saw the
fire found that the front and back
stairs were in flames and nearly con-
sumed. He at once sounded the
alarm raps for assistance and then
sprang up the burning stairway, and,
reaching the second floor, aroused
the inmates. He also awoke those
on the third floor, when the smoke be-
came so dense that he found it neces-
sary to make his escape from the
building. Returning to the stairs he
found that the flight leading from the
third to the second floor was on fire.
and unable to bear its weight. The
officer made a desperate leap and
reached the floor beneath, when he
was struck by falling beam which
disabled his right arm. By this time
the first flight of stairs was destroyed
aud the officer escaped to the yard,
through a rear window without sus.
tanning further injury.
At the time there was a dreadful
scene of confusion and terror within
and around the burning building.
The position of the tenants, with the
stairs destroyed.was APPALLING. Those
on the second floor of course had the
best advantage of escape, there being
a large wood awning in front over
the store below, which gave easy exit
to those nearest to it; but to those
on the third and fourth stories it did
not avail but little. There were two
families on each floor, and when
awoke to their sense Of danger the
screaming of the women and children
is said to have been heart-rending al
the windows of the third and fourth
stories. The poor people CRIED
aloud for help, but none could be rem
, dered, as at chat time the fremer
with ladders had not arrived. The
whole of the staircase was on fire. an(
there was no possible means of say
ling themselves but by jumping from
the windows.

front of the premises calling to thos,

ment goes farther than this and re.
quires not only that all citizens be
counted into the voting basis, but rep
resented by actual voters on terms
of absolute equality. 1t is no more
an interference with state rights to
require this to be put into the con-
stitution than the pending amendment.
Aud if this amendment is rejected,
and the republican predominance in
! Congress is unbroken by the fall
elections, as is now nearly certain, the
way will be clear for an advance hv
! Congress to a more comprehensive
and consistent policy of reconstruc-
tion-more generous in fact to the
South and more certain to give per-
imanent peace to the whole country.
For nothing is more certain than that,
whether the pending amendment is
adopted or not, the agitation for
equal suffrage Is To go on and TO be
the chief element IL our politics until
it is rightly settled. IAus, although
the second reconstruction scheme OF
Congress is better than the first and
It's adoption is on many accounts de-
sirable, nevertheless its rejection may
open the way to larger and better re-
suits than did the defeat of the first

The Breach in the Republican par
ty in this Congressional district is
most certainly to be regretted. We
care not at this time to discuss the
cause OF it, but to ask, can it not be
healed? Ought it not to be? 1t can
be by the withdrawal of the two lead
ing candidates, and a union of the
friends Of judge Hoyt aud Mr.. Bax-
ter upon third man. Judge Hoyt,
we are sure, will not stand in the way
of any movement tending to re.unite
the party. How is it with Mr.. Bax-
ter? We know it will be said in re-
ply to this, that Mr.. Baxter is sure of
an election next November, and why
should he withdraw? Mr.. Eaxter and
his friends are altogether too sahguine.
His election is a matter of very great
doubt. Admit if you please, however
for the sake of argument, that Mr.. Bax-
ter's election is tolerably certain
Does this re-unite the party?
There are nearly five thousand vot-
ers in this district unalterably opposed
to Mr.. Baxter. They oppose him on
principle and will fight him to the bit
ter end. Ifhe ever had right to the
office they believe he has trebly forfeit
ed it. They want man to represent
them in Congress who is above even
suspicion of corruption. For this rea
son they supported Judge Hoyt. Ii
