nails and the docks, the guards are doubled,
expecting the approach of the terrible Fe-
niansi" The Senator was. apparently in
favor of relieving them of all suspense, and
pitching in. at once upon these affrighted
guards, &C. He said there had been decidedly
too much talk, and too little action. Very
likely; but there may be an excess OF the
latter.
Much Of the martial power Of the Fenians
was exhausted in the late war, under
O'MEAeHER and others, with the impression
that at its conclusion, they were to be helped
to free Ireland. They are now beating up for
recruits, and are evidently determined not to
cease operations until victory or defeat termi-
mates their great movement. 1t is clear that
they are to become the subject, at least OF
diplomatic discussions, If they continue the
business of enrolling and arming. But the
great trial of the Fenians will be the matter
Of getting on the high seas with their "guns,
drums, and war" The Federal eyes and the
Federal laws and British vigilance will bother
them.

negro, was arraigned yesterday before Judge
McEntee, charged with stealing two mules
from Ben Green, Esq. The evidence was not
closed because of the absence of other wit
nesses, though that already given is very con-
elusive against the accused. The case was
continued for further examination.
Solomon Carter, a negro, charged with
assault and battery on Robert Poindexter, was
sentenced to the Libby for thirty days.
Ellen McGruder, negress, charged with
stealing shuck mattress from Richard Tun-

NEW York BALLs.-This winter has beer
the witness to some Of the most magnificent
and extravagant public festivities ever seen
we suppose in the world. We have never read
of such in ancient or modern times Every
thing that genius and art could devise to pro
mote scenic display and brilliancy was EN-
ployed with the most lavish expenditure. We
read the accounts Of them not without appre-
hension. Such excesses have too often marked
the eras Of great calamities for mankind.
One Of these balls was a masked affair. The
maskers danced till IL O'Clock, and then drop
ped their disgaises-when 10, and behold the
most embarrassing situations were developed
One paper says brother found himself max
ing love 70 his sister-a husband TO his wife
and others Of still more delicate relations in
yolyed in similar awkwardness. This is, to
our ideas, bordering on the horrible and yet
the maskers are said to have been respectable
people. Much better wonld II have been 70

The Status Of the Rebel States-Chief Justice
Chase OyerruIed and the President Sustained


The Supreme Court Of the United States has
recently affirmed the correctness OF President
Johnson's position in regard to the status OF
the rebel States. The point was, whether the
courts, as before the war, would take up those Sc
cases from said States which had been laid
aside In consequence Of the rebellion and, the
rebellion being suppressed the Court decided ,dea
dissenting So far, therefore, as the Judiciai
department of the General Government is
concerned, from the collapse OF the rebellion
the States involved in IL resume their former
relations as members of the Union. Thus the
head OF the executive department, by the
highest legal authority in the land, the court
Of last resort, is borne out in his Judgment
that secession is q nullity, that the rebellion
did not carry the offending States out OF the
Union, sbnt that In attempting TO gel out by
force OF arms "they placed themselves In q
con pdition where their vitality was impaired,
not extinguished-their functions suspended,
but not destroyed
This is the position of President johnson
and OF the Supreme Court-of the executiys
and judicial branches OF the General Govern
ment Blu. what 10 the position OF Congress,

ATTEMPT TO EscAPE.-Yesterday morning,
Mr.. Pollard, the jailor in charge of the county
Jail, had his attention called by negro girl,
named Eliza Crump, to the fact that the pri-
soners in the jail-yard were about to make
their escape. The prisoners were then in the
yard, where, as it was customary, they had
been turned out for exercise. Mr.. Pollard
Immediately went into the yard, and there
found thats!a very large hole had been made
through the wall, which was about two feet
thick In five minutes the prisoners would all
have been ,out. Upon examination, it was
found that the instruments used in cutting
through the wall were the pieces of an old
lock Chastain Hampton, who was confined
on charge of being horse thief, was the
leader of the attempt. He denied at first hav-
ing anything to do with it, but afterwards
acknowledged his part. He is now in irons,
and will hardly "try again"

TODAY. "A stranger visiting this city would
scarcely believe that. he was to-day I'm the
State which gave birth to him, whose name is
household word throughout this country,
and whose fame reaches the farthest portions
of the world. He would wonder that Virgil
mans did not, on the birthday of gorge Wash
ington, put on holiday robes, and spend the day
mid parades and festivities. But with all this
seeming indifference to the occasion, Virgil
mans do not forget the day, nor do they cease to
cherish the memory Of one who was such an
honor to the Old Dominion. They think with
sadness upon former anniversaries of his birth
day-of those who were with us to celebrate
them and is 1t not enough to make them sad 7
We remember the forms of many noble fellows
rs they paraded this day five years ago
through our streets in their gay uniforms,
with their faces beaming with pride for the
occasion; and we remember how our hearts
swelled with pride for them.
Where are they Call over the rolls Of . old
T, the " Grays," and the Blues" and ask
why so few answer here''l Those who sur
vive will give the sad answer. Little wonder,
then, that we do not celebrate this anniversary
to-day, rs we were wont to do. Though we
have no outward rejoicing, though our hearts
are sad. we glory that George Washington
was a Virginian, and cherish his memory with
pride and grateful recollection.

MAYORS CoURT.-The docket was rather
thnly attended yesterday morning, there
being but one criminal case brought before the
Mayor. Doctor Busk charged with being
drunk and lying in the street, was dismissed,
this being his first offence.
John Macpherson, charged with violation of
q city ordinance in selling liquor on Sunday
He was fined twenty dollars but refused TO
pay it unless under protest, and he said that
the authorities might levy upon his property
for the amount. The Mayor ordered writ of
execution to be issued against him to the ex-
tent of the fine.
