Fenian Politics,

The St. Louis correspondent OF the
Chicago Tribune gives the following
in reference to Fenian politics:
1.-THE greatest wrath and indignation is
manifested by the Irish toward the Pres1-
dent and Secretary Seward, for their inter
ference in the raid in Canada. They are
ravenous for revenge on the President, ana
if an election were held tomorrow, they
would go en- masse against the adIninlstra-
tioa party. The statement is reported that
the United States Government has helped
them along by selling arms, in full knowl-
edge of what it was intended TO do with
them. Judge Daley, of the County Court,
who was recently making speeches in sup
port of the Presidents policy, said, In a
public speech to the Fenians, that II the
President and Secretary of State dared
thus to toady to British gold and nobility,
then down with Them The Irish nave
taken up the cry, and threaten to organize
a third party. The conservative leaders
are thoroughly frightened about IT, Thelr
evening organ had savage attack on the
District Attorney and Judge Treat Tor DO
ing their duty in prosecuting the Fenlans-
| IT is understood quite a commotlon mas
also been stirred up by the Irish against
the United states officials who turned their
backs on the Fenians at the critical mo-
ment." =
We are advised that the Fenians Of
Illinois are equally indignant in refer
ence to the conduct of the President
and of the Democracy who sustain
him. So indignant are the Fenians
at President JOHNSON and the party
who indorse him, that they threaten,
all over the country, to leave the or
ganization with which they have acted
for, years, or, for that matter, ever
since they have been in the country.
The National IntelligeRcer, and other
Copperhead papers, have taken the
alarm, and are doing their utmost to
prevent the detection. The A1telh+
qencer, by threats, hopes to prevent
the Fenians from withdrawing from
Mr.. JOHNSON; but'in this it does not
seem to be very successful.
As an instance of the Fenian dispO-
sition to bolt the Copperhead party,
we may cite the recent elections in
Waterbury, Connecticut. At the
State election the Democracy carried
that city by majority of 215. Last
week the Union men elected their
Mayor and city officers by majority
of nearly three hundred. The change
was brought about almost entirely by
the adopted citizens of Irish birth
voting the Republican ticket.
We cannot be surprised at this. No
a 4QBBtd tbs EEfgpan I'll The eye ehlha s fIeeaad
ers are worthy of prompt arrest and
trial, what should be done with the
far more guilty leaders in the attempt
to destroy this Government? And,
as the Democracy all oppose punish
ing the leaders of the rebellion, the
Fenians think it strange that the
party so complacently regards the
Presidents efforts to secure their ar
rest, trial and punishment.

A CALIFORNIA paper says a large
lake has been discovered in that
State, from the waters of which can
be obtained large quantity of borax
without much trouble, and in a state
of almost absolute purity. Consider
ing the fact that the world is now de-
pendent on the lagoons of Tuscany
for its borax, and the contingency
that this foreign supply may at any
time be cut off, this discovery is of no
little Importance.

The COpperhead Doctrines on Re.
construction Endorsed by JEFF.
Davis. -..

i. q Ha
1t IS no doubt source of intense
satisfaction to the Copperheads to
know that their course on reconstruc-
ton accords with the views expressed
by JEFFERSON DAVIS. His physician
at Fortress Monroe, DR.. CRAVEN, has
published a report of the recent con-
versations of the rebel chieftain on
various subjects; and taking special
pains to render an exact version of
his opinions on this question, he saws ::
" Reconstruction" continued Mr.. Davis,
"cannot properly involve or be made to
depend on those social problems which
have arisen from the sudden disruption of
the relations existing between the white
and the black races in the Southern States
These problems belong to the several
States, and must have treatment accord
ing TO the different circumstances of each.
No general rule can properly be made APP
plicable to all, and it will prove unfortu-
nate if the subject is controlled by distant
aud but poorly informed if not preiudiced
authority. The self-interest of individu-
ais and communities, together with the
demand for labor so far exceeding the
supply, may safely be left to protect
the laborer. The public actions of the
Southern State Conventions furnish con-
elusive evidence of the desire of the South
ern people to resume their position in the
Union; and it must strike all observers
with surprise, that while those who strove
so desperately to leave the Union, are now
SO earnestly endeavoring to reassume their
places in it, it is the very men who sent
fire and sword to destroy them. or to COM
pei them to return, who now bar the door
and deny them readmission to that very
condition to which it was throughout the
war proclaimed to be their first and last
duty to return. "Solitary reflection" con-
cluded Mr.. Davis, Z" has given me no key to
the mysterious origin of this change in
Northern opinion, which I find evidenced
in every newspaper that reaches me; and
perhaps my own sad state has tinged with
its gloom the vista of the future, if. thus
alienated, disjointed and adrift, the coun-
try should be visited with such trials of
foreign war, either with France or Eng
land, or both, as are now so often suggested
in the public journals of America, and
their extracts from the European press

reconstruction i'm tennessee.

Governor BROwNLOw has called an
extra session Of the Tennessee Legis-
lature, to meet at Nashville on the
4th day of July, to act on the Con
gressional plan of Reconstruction.
His proclamation recites briefly the
present condition of the State, and de-
plores the loss of political privileges
for Tennessee. He states that in or
der to secure future peace and tran
guilty to the nation, Congress has
demanded that the State shall ratify
certain amendments to the Constitu-
ton, which amendments he recapitu-
lates, and trusts they will meet with
no objection from loyal people. Gov
ernor BRowNLow pronounces them
extremely lenient to the disloyal, and
believing that the Legislature will
not hesitate to ratify them, rejoices at
the prospect of speedy representa-
ton of that State in the counsels of
the nation.
Should the Legislature of Tennes-
see adopt the Constitutional Amend
ment, as we have no doubt it will, her
delegation will be admitted to Con-
gress at once, and one State at least
will have been reconstructed under
the Congressional programme. Other
Southern States will probably follow
the report of the Reconstruction
Committee is regarded in all parts of
the country, is a good indication that
it will be Endorsed by the people at
the polls. Everybody seems to think
that the report comedies all that the
rebels could ask, and much more than
they deserve.
