THE FENIAN CONGRESS-.
Fourth Days Session.

TROY September Tin the Fenian Con gress
to-day General Sweeney made a somewhat
lengthy statement of She military resources and
requirements OF the organization He claimed
that he first OF all gave it military character,
which, in his opinion, 1t should continue 10
have. Mistakes had been made but experience
has been gained and he was compelled to dis
grace two members of his staff for cowardice
before the enemy, but in the main he had been
fortunate in the selection OF his subordinates.
The Generals remarks were listened to with
the greatest attention, and received the warm
commendation of many delegates who before had
been hostile to him. The Generals accounts
have been under investigation by committee
to-day, and / am able to state that they have
been approved. The Committee find vouchers
for every dollar expended. Sweeney has vlndi-
Gated himself fully before the Congress, and will
be continued in his present position beyond a
doubt. His enemies concede this, and all danger
of q rupture in the Brotherhood Is thus avoided
The report of w. Dunn, Financial Secretary, has
also been approved.
During the session this afternoon, resolu-
tion was introduced, returning thanks to Gene
raj Banks and Congress tor their expressions in
reference to the Neutrality laws. This excited
a lively discussion, during which Andy Johnson
and Seward were severely denounced. AT one
time there was great excitement IN the hall, so
much so as TO attract the attention of citizens
in the streets. There Is rumor to the effect
that the Boston delegation has gone home, for
what reason rumOr does not say. There is no
doubt whatever but that both Sweeney and
Roberts are making efforts to preserve and pro-
mote the organization. If any other result is
reached, the blame must rest with the few de-
stTuctives IN the Congress. The following
memorandum, which purports to be and un'
doubtedly is synopsis of Sweeney's report was
picked up on the floor of hotel here.
There is internal aud other evidence OF its
authority. Money required ut Plttsburg Con
vention, $45,OO0; arms purchased, 10000;
ammunition, 100000 rounds. All the money
subscribed bv Senate wing up to time ot attack
on Canada, Sl03, coo; amount promised, $4,000
- l,.Nvy ..F, llak AT.,lsN
| 100. No one in the organization is holding
positions worth mentioning. He believes that
| more than 5000 men could be got together
| anywhere without the excitement OF victory.
This Congress represents about 80 circles,
| numbering 5000 members, which will supply
about one fighting man to every IL OF then
| number, and will not contribute more thar
about $50 600 for revolutionary purposes

centrate our efforts to continue in power that
Union party which, under the leadership OF the
late lamented President, promulgated the
emancipation proclamation, which supported
the gallant and lamented Wadsworth for
Governor, while we were in the field; which de.
mands from the South entire submission and
loyalty to the Union, the amended Constitution
ana the laws enacted by Congress, and which
are apt and appropriate TO render effectual the
defense of the freedmen in equal protection of
their persons, property, and rights. That party

Hon. Charles e. Phelps, the nominee of the
conservatives for the Third Congressional Dis
trict made long speech last night
to large meeting of his constituents, accepting
the nomination. He goes fat-foOted on the
Johnson platform. Half his audience were old

seekers and Office holders. He failed to explain
his contradictory course and votes in Congress.
Much excitement exists here now about the
Comptroller refusing to pay just dues, boun-
ties, etc. to Maryland soldiers, when their claims
are legally authenticated and money in the
State Treasury to pay them.
