James Stephens, the Chief Executive of
the Fenian organization, (if it can be said
to yet remain an organization arrived iu
New York one day last week. He was
received with enthusiasm which boiled
over in levees, and serenades, and mass
meetings, to say nothing of private recep-
tious and currycombings, by the Celtic
element of the metropolis. The Chief
Executive, who is the identical parsonage
that lately escaped from the English goal,
despite governmental bars, and bolts, and
double guards, comes here to attempt a
reconciliation of the belligerent wings of
the Fenian organization, before that Or
ganization, through ceaseless and most
energetic internal dissensions, shall have
shared the fate of the luckless Kilkenny
cats He has hard row before him to
hoe. Perhaps-it is barely possible thas
he can effect reconciliation of the
O'Mahoney and Roberts factions; maybe
be can galvanize the carcass Of Fenianism
until it will show few, or many, signs of
life. But-and here's the rub-can he
iLvest the movement in favor of the lib
GRAFTON of Ireland, whereof he is the
Acknowledged leader, with dignity and
importance enough to secure for it again
what it has forfeited, the respect of the
masses of the people We doubt, though
we do not despair. If he can do this,
then is Stephens man chief among ten
thousand With regard to the audacious
boarding of the British lion in his den
which is to follow the successful fusing of
the discordant Celtic elements, it will be
time enough to speak hereafter. But the
fur, no doubt, will merrily fly from off the
lions back when the fighting begins
Stephens first official act here strikes US
as eminently appropriate. He has de-
nSsed Head Centre O'Mahoney, who was
a bag O. wind or nothing. Maj General
b. Doran Killian, who marched three
hundred men al the way from New York
to Eastport, Maine, and then marched
them back again, thereby giving incon-
testible proof that the Fenians are not
altogether destitute of military genius,

characteristic.

Bancroft, the Historian, in his Grafton
on lincoln in the hall of the House of
Representatives, in February last, made
use of the following language: "The
British Secretary of State for ForeigE
Affairs made haste to send word through
the palaces of Europe that tho great
Republic was in its agony, that the
Republic was no more, that headstone
was all that remained due by the law OF
nations to the slate Unien.'" To this Lord
Russell, the Secretary to whom aIlus:on was
made, replies, challenging the truth of the
assertion. Mr.. Bancroft substantiates the
truth of his words, giving date and occa-
sion with exactest minut ness Where
upon the N. Y World violently attacks
Mr.. Bancroft for assaulting the English
lord, telling Mr.. Bancroft that he was but
a guest on the occasion referred to, as was
the British nation in the person of its
minister, and the use of the language we
have quoted was an im2ertinsnee and an
insult, and all the worse because it was

Emancipation In Russia.

While our gigantic war was progress
sing, and the course of events was sradu-
ally destroying the last bulwarks of
American slavery, Russia was peaceably
but industrious!y perfeeting her grand
and comprehensive scheme of emancipa-
ton. The result is told in recent article
in one of her official journals: "The
decree of February 10, 1861, freed from
three centuries OF seridom a male popula
tion of 1925, ,687 and female population
of more than 100000" But the
generosity of the Emperor die not stop
here. He clearly discerned the necessity
OF making Liberty substantial boon, and
contrived a system by which, without
detriment to the interests of mobiles, their
serfs should have opportunities of becon-
ing independent landholders. 1t has been
signally successful. During the past FIVE
years ''5, ,745, ,029 men have become free
citizens, owning homesteads, and 4,O3O,-
988, while enjoying all the privileges of
this class, are still under certain obligations
to their former proprietors, these obliga-
tions being strictly defined by law. About
one million persons have been provided
for in other ways" "All the crown peas
ants, however employed and distributed
throughout the Empire, have been freed,
each one receiving his share of land
The benefits of this movement have been
extended to Poland. All her serfs were
emancipateG on the 10Th OF February,
aud furnished with land. Cup to :hat
time there were 100000 of landless
laborers in that Kingdom; now their
number does not exceed $50 persons of
both sexes" In an era in which one of
the most powerful and absolute monarchs
on the globe, "the autocrat of all the
Russias," is impelled by considerations of
humanity, justice, and en earnest desire
to promote the prosperity of his dominions
to strike off the chains of serfdom from
more than twenty millions of his subjects,
and to secure their future by granting
them the rights of citizenship and ample
opportunities to acquire titles to the soil,
how paltry and contemplate are the efforts
of portion of the American people to
circumscribe the privileges of the freed
men, who owe their liberation mainly to
the wicked treason of their masters A
stranger to our history and laws who heard
the current political discussions would
imagine from the sentiments uttered by
the Copperheads that the experience of
this country had demonstrated Liberty

JuStIce.

The United States District Court for
the eastern district of Virginia, Judge
Underwood presiding, net ID Norfolk on
| che 8th inst. A grand jury was obtained
and sworn in, composed of men who
remained faithful to the Union throug hout
the war, who On the 10th returned a
presentment Of treason against JEFF. Davis
and John q. Breckenridge. The tria. of
the former is expected to come off in
Richmond early in June. The charge of
Judge Underwood to the graRd jury is
one Of the most able and eloquent legal
efforts ever submitted on behalf of Justice.
We are sorry that We cannot give it to
our readers this week word for word and
line for line. We subJorn an extract,
wherein is declared that treason Is crime
and that traitors mus. be punished
"The omission of the last grand jury to
find indictments against those who may
be considered the princip pal criminals and
greatest offenders against the natioual
sovereignty, who were, in fact, the most
prominent in position at the time they
deserted their places in the Senate OF the
United States, and became leaders of the
rebellion, has Been misunderstood, ard the
President has informed the Court that he
is unwilling to advise proceedings against
such su5ordinates as Wirz, while their
superiors and more guilty leaders are not
brought to justice. This Court entirely
agrees with the President in his often
repeated declaration, that treason is the
greatest of crimes aud ought to be signally
punished, and that it is cowardly to punish
the subordinate and comparatively insig-
niticant, and allow the principals TO escape.
We also concur in the opinion that the
leaders In the late rebellion may be treated
either as traitors or public enemies, as
they were undoubtedly both by the laws
of nations"
The learned Judge bears testimony as
to where the onus of responsibility for
the "negro riots" occurring in the South
rests
'To our shame and disgrace it must be
admitted that, SC far as We are advised,
every one of tie numerous conflicts of
races which have occurred in this State
during the past year, have been the wanton
and unproYoked work of wicked white
men upon poor, quiet, unuffending, and in
most cases, unarmed and unresistiug cot
ored people. Why should we murder,
rob, or interrupt them, burn their school
houses aud churches, insult and attack the
teachers, who in the cause of improve
ment and elevation and christian charity,
have come to US from the ever friendly
North, in the same spirit that brought
them in 1855 to this de7oted city, when
the scourge of yellow fever was here in
its wrath. Let US not forget that then as
now it was to the North and its generous
people that we had to look in our want for
aid and assistance"

Dor, but not so much so as to require con-
slant personal aid and attention, shall be
entitled to pension of twenty dollars per
month and all persons who, under like cir
cumstances, shall have lost one hand or one
foot, or been totally and permanently disa-
bled In the same, or otherwise SO disabled as
to materially interfere with the performance
OF manual labor without wholly incapacita-
ting them therefor, shall be entitled to a
pension of fifteen dollars per month"
1t will be obvious that this bill is just
towards those men who periled their all
in defence of the uation, and have now
returned, with honorable wounds received
on the field of wounds which al
most any one might count reward in such
cause. Mr.. Perham does not 90 in fer
paying off these saviors of the country by
words, which are cheap sacrifice upon
the altar of a vaunted patriotism out he
Is for deeds, which speak louder than
words, He is for giving tho soldier and
his family more substantial proof of a
nations gratitude than is contained in
tustian phrases and glittering generalities.
Mr.. Perham has had not only the patriot
ism and good sense to introduce this bill
for the relief of disabled sailors and SOL
diers, but energy and influence enough to
carry it through the House. Such a
measure, projected ard carried through,
should distinguish any man, and will, we
doubt rot, endear Mr.. Perham to the
wounded heroes, not only of his own dis
trict, but of the whole country. This bill
Is in harmony with the humane impulses
and grateful heart of the people of the
loyal States, and they will cheerf1lly
make the sacrifice necessary to confer this
small bounty upon the men to whom we
owe so much. In behalf of the invalids,
we may be permitted to say, All thanks
to Sidney Perham for his labors and et-
forts in the good cause
In speaking of our old friend, whom we
knew so we'll il old Oxford in other days,
we would remark that he is not brilliant
man but if honesty of purpose, integrity
OF heart, sincere devotion to the right,
and determination to follow his conyic-
tions of truth and duty, constitute great
ness, or are some of the elements of
greatness, then indeed is he a great man
.-one of natures noblemen, filled with a
high purpose and inspired with an up
right spirit to serve his country and to do
good to all. Mr.. Perham is a lifelong
temperance man, and what ne practices at
home he does not cease to practice in
Washington. He is a moral, upright,
conscientious and religious man, and is
much respected for his sterling worth
among his brother members, while he
stands we'll with the Departments. No
member of Congress takes higher rank
for integrity and steadfast devotion to
principle than he, and we place him
among those practical men who have
achieved success, and success is great
ness.
