FENIAN CONGRESS.

TROY, Sept 6-The Fenian Congress 10 day
got fully under way, but the members are
all sworn TO secrecy, and keep their oaths In.
violable. ii is impossible 10 ascertain any of the
particulars Of the session. President Roberts
and General Sweeney both read their resorts.
which were received with great favor by the
members Of the Congress
Colonel Roberts positively declines a re.
election TO his present position.
Senators GfS65fs.s III yShes. and MotffsoHr nRaHe
speeches. The former paid his compliments 10
Secretary Seward and Mr.. johnson by stating
that the British flag is flying in Canada to-day
by the power of the United States, and Eng and
had presented a most pitabie object in sending
Sir Edward Bruce to thank Mr.. Seward for his
agency In the matter. The enemies OF the Fe-
man Brotherhood were many, but hey had no
greater enemy than William II. Seward The
speaker said, in CONCLUSION, that IL was a dis
grace for Ireland longer to appear In the guise
OF beggar for freedom all over the earth. and
Ii was now time for heI children TO strike for
their own independent nationality. Mr.. Hynes
remarked, with reference to the invasion of
Canada, that when il is attempted again. as il
will be, il will be out of the power of the United
States to suppress the movement He only
hoped that when the next attempt was made
upon Canada the Government would send as
many troops TO the frontier as possible, for he
felt satisfied that one half of them would be
found battling in Canada instead CT opposing
the Eenians.

The Washington Embezziement Case
Sentence of the Prisoner

In the United States District Court, yester.
day, VIM. X. Cooper. who plead guilty TO the
by which a large sum was obtained, was
brought up for sentence. His counsel, David
r. Brown, Esq, read a stateme Mt prepared by
the prisoner, in which be referred to his hay-
ing been employed as a clerk in this city and
after ward in the capacity of Captains Clerk
in one of the vessel attached to the North At
lantic Blockading Squadron, in which he said
he had conducted himself in q way to receive
the cOmmendation of the Off GERS of the ship
His present situation he 4ttribu ted to the fact
that after be left the navy he was thrown
among gay society at Washington, and yed
beyond his means. He alluded 10 his marriage
said that he had formed the acquaintance of
his wife some months before the commission
OF the frauds, and that the marriage mad no
connection whatever with them.
David Webster, Esq, who represented some
OF the parties defrauded, stated 10 the Court
that the prisoner had, through his counsel,
made prompt restitution OF the moneys OBJ
tanned, forty thousand dollars of which were
in Government bonds deposited IN New York
Judge Cadwalader remarked the case was
ceive any thing in the statement OF the prisoner
TO relieve il of its bad features. The extent of
the frauds was altogether disproportioned to
the alleged Strengthened circumstances OF the
defendant, and parties to whom he had refer
red in this city had come forward to certify to
his former good character. The statement of
the prisoner thar pecuniary embarrassment
had led him TO the commission of the frauds
could not be regarded as entitled to any weight
when the extent of the frauds was taken into
consideration. The frauds were evidently the
result of preparation and of systematic ar
rangement. and not of a hastily formed pur-
pose, and for that reason the sentence should
not be a light one. Perhaps the plea of guilty
should be taken into consideration in passing
sentence, and yet il was not en- titled 10 much
weight from the fact that proof Of guilt was so
clear. Under all the circumstances, an impris-
onment of fve years was proper punishment
At the close of the Judges remarks, Coo per
arose, walked 10 the bar OF the Court, and said
that he wished to impress upon the Court the
fact that the marriage had not nything TO do
with the frauds.
Judge CadwaladeI replied that he had not
alluded to the marriage at all
The prisoner closed by remarking that what
he had said was not intended TO induce a
change of the sentence. His only desire was
that his young wife might not suffer in the esti-
nation of others for his Phiiadelp pkid

FALL IN CoAL.-From the following state
ment in The New York Tribune, we should
suppose there could be no doubt that the peo-
pie will be able 70 keep warm next winter a. a
moderate price:
The coal stocks are lower and not in de-
msnd. 1t is well understood in the anthracite
coal trade that the business has been overdone
and that the stocks al the cloee of navigation
will be larger than for many years, and sum-
cient 10 insure coal al moderate prices. AT
current rates there is a loss Of 50 cents per ton
In the Scbuylkill region more than one half
OF the coal operators have decided TO close
their collIeries on the lst Of September. The
trouble is that fifty per cent more coal has been
brought TO market by all the channels of sup
ply than has ever before been the case at this
season of the year, and this enormous surplus
of 2.700,U10 tons finds no outlet of sale. Prices
are depreciating and the Lehigh and Lacka-
wanna Roads and Canals have the advantage
of a direct short line TO market over the cir
cutous and costly route Of the Reading Rail-
road and Scauylkill Navigation Company, an
advantage equal 10 81 a ton. These lines in
fact form the two sides at least Of triangle in
stead of s. third side, and even at the low rates
they are carrying coal al, they cannot compete
with the Delaware and Hudson, Lackawanns
and Lehigh routes to market. The only
chance OF escape from great loss 70 the Schuyi-
kill operators is to close their works. The
statement OF the tonnage OF the Reading road
Is from October last, while the falling OF in
tolls commenced last May.

thing being wrong was the engine jumping
and staggering, and before he could give any
alarm be was hurled from his post a distance
of twenty feet. The fireman and deceased
were on The tender, and jumped when they
saw the engine going of; but the deceased did
not jump far enough, and the tender tell over
on him and smashed him. He had been en- :
gagged in surveying a railroad from Freehold

City. he was young man and very much
respected, The names of the injured parties

JOHN BELL on THE SlTUATIoN.-John
Bell, in recent letter published in the
Nashville Union, gives it as his opinion that
the Union, as contemplated by the ConSti-
tuition, no longer exists, and expresses APP
prehcnsions that free institutions are in
danger if the designs of the radical cabal
controlling Congress be not soon abandoned
or thwarted. He draws also a vivid pic
turc Of the future which awaits the people
of the South in the embrace of such go
vernmcnt as is being established. Not
withStanding the gloomy prospect, however,
he counSels forbearance and endurance
on their part, and rests his chief hope on
the return of sanity among the misled peo-
pie of the North, and the overthrow OF
the ambitious leaders, whose course would
drive any one but Il noble and patient pco-
pie to desperation, and lead the Govern
ment on wild career of misrulc and
tyranny, from thence to be precipitated
into an abyss of greater evils than it has
yet encountered.

FORTRESS MONROE, May 14.-It is under
stood, as the result of Secretary McCul-
loch's recent visit, that President johnson
has directed the post surgeon to make a
special report of the health of Jefferson
Davis, and it is coniidcntially said that
during the past twelve months the un-
ccaSing tramping and changing of the
guards around his cell has prevented him
from enjoying at any one time more than
two hours unbrokcn sleep, and that his
health is failing rapidly. He confessed cx-

dictmcnt reached him, confident that
speedy action in his case will soon follow.

Miss AvoNIA JoNEs.-Some London
theatres are making capital out of the loss
of the steamer London, on which occasion
the celebrated tragedian G. V. Brooke,
then en- route for Austria, met his end. The
terrific catastrophe is represented with
every fidelity of detail on the stage. The
Surrey Theatre brings Brooke himself
on the boards, and makes him hold a
touching soliloquy upon his unavoidable
fate. 1t sounds almost incredible that the
widow of the deceased artist should have
taken part in the performance of this
sensation piece ; but this is positively true.
She is an American, and well known by
her maiden name of Avonia Jones on this
side of the Atlantic. The Britannia
Theatre at Hoxton, jealous of the success
of its rival of the Surrey, tried to Guido
the other by making the loss of the Lon
don still more true to nature, and for this
object enga ged the sailors saved from the
wreck to take part in the representation.
This cypedient draws vast crowds to the
doors, and the theatre can hardly hold the
nightly audiences. The merits of these
heroes are of course very questionable, for
their escape is due to their having seized
the only seaworthy boat and left the rest
to perish. This seems, however, to make
them no less welcome to public curiosity.
