France there are seven thousand insured in E1S
land ; and yet there Certain circum- aEces hat

MEMORIAL 20 CONGRESS.

SAN Francisco, Nov. I5.-The ChambeI
of Commerce of this city unanimously
adopted a memorial to Congress, which, af
ter reciting previous action Of the Chamber
Gets forth that the act of Congress requiring
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company to per.
form thirteen trips yearly to China, in con,
sideration of being allowed to leave Homo
lulu if the regular route causes great incon
venience to the travelling and mercantile
community, disarranges plans for rapid
steam communication with ports of Chins
and Japan and oppressive to the company
involves necessarily another steamship and
an additional yearly expenditure Of Sl30,
600, without commensurate advantage to the
Government, the community or the compa
ny, closed by asking Congress to permi
them to make twelve trips yearly to China
without touching Honolulu, and to increase
the subsidy for mail service to Sandwich Is
lands from $50 900 to 500, 900 yearly.

nrnrLIIoN RAMPANT.

The New Orleans Peayune Of recent
date thus pungently satirizes the slanderous
Neutrality-suspicious. against the Southern PED
pie, daily uttered by the Radical press and
speakers:
Armed organizations Of ex-rebel soldiers
are drilling nightly on Canal street. II is
reported that JEFF. DAVIS has escaped from
prison and is in command. No Union
man dare show himself on the streets after
sunset. A violent rebel threatened to pull
down the Custom House, and but for the
timely arrival of the Eighteenth corps,
would have executed his threat. Mayor
MONROE hung himself, and then killed his
family, in order, as he afterwards stated, to
escape the just indignation Of the Union
citizens. The commanding General takes
his meals regular, in spite Of rebel threats.
It is stated, on good authority, that the Mis-
sissippi river is undermined Several rebel
cruisers came up the river yesterday, to see
whether the reported surrender of the Con-
federate authorities was correct. Being
told that it was, they cursed the United
States Government, and, after taking coal
and provisions, went down to Barataria.
Unfortunately, the war vessels in port were
unable to get up steam in time to overhaul
them. People here do not hesitate to speak
openly in favor Of President JOHNSON and
| the Constitution. One man went so far as to
say, Oh the Radicals" The ex-rebels
are in a destitute condition and in some
portions ofthe city are eating their children.

Another Fenian Increment.

NEW YoRK, Nov. 16.-The Express says
the most active preparations are now being
made at the Roberts headquarters for a
grand movement against Canada. During
the last two weeks some of the leading mill
tary officers of the organization have held
consultations in relation to the martial pro-
gramme to be adopted when the Fenian
forces move from their respective stations
across the frontier. The result of their de-
alterations is at present a profound secret,
but Generals O'Neill, Spear and Roberts
frankly aYow that the new movement means
work against the British authoritses in
Canada.
1t is said the description of the next army
of invasion will be far superior and more
effective than that of which the detachment
of Limestone Ridge was the advance guard.
One hundred and twenty thousand men
have already been enrolled under the title
of Fenian Avengers, who have pledged
themselves to be ready at any moment to
prevent the execution of Col. Lynch and
other prisoners. They have been divided
into regiments and brigades, and when all
the men deemed necessary shall have taken
this pledge operations will commence.

WAsHINGroN, Nov. 15.-General Logan

parchment Of the President by the Senate Of
the United States.
Chief Justice Chase called at the White
House last evening, and was closeted with
the President for an hour. Messrs Seward,
Randall and McCulloch afterward were
present. 4 long consultation was had, be-
lieved to be upon the most important sub
ject, based on an effort now making by the
leading men Of all parties to induce the
President. in consideration of general am
nesty, to induce the people Of the South to
accept impartial suffrage, with qualifications
of either intelligence or property. Promi-
nent Southern men are cooperating in this
movement.
Gen. Grant was very unwell yesterday,
but is out to-day.
A Cabinet minister stated to-day that the
question of recommending the South to
adopt the constitutional amendment had
never been considered in the Cabinet, as re-
ported, nor even proposed.

EconOmisInx. Etc.

New YORK, Nov. 16.-Judge Edmonds
of Vermont, and of the Committee in Con-
gress instructed toascertain in what branches
of the Government service expenses could
be reduced, and what reforms ought to be
made, has been at the Custom House in this
city for couple of days, and has examined
several persons in regard TO salary and per-
quisites, fees, etc, fraudsor attempted frauds
in the recent political tax in the Custom
House and Naval Offices, and the Survey
ors, and the probable effect of a change in
the Revenue Department, which should
make the tenure of Office depend solely upon
the good behavior of the ofIice-holder.
There are also several other OBJ
iects of inquiry, but these are the
most prominent. 1t appears to bethe object oil
the committee to gain as much information
as possible, with reference to the future le-
gislation. 1t is likely that extensive changes
in the laws will be proposed, and it is sup
posed that the chief Of these viii relate to
the remoddeling :of the financial depart
ments Of the Government service. The
opinion that efficient men cannot be secured
and retained, while political influence de-
termines appointments and removals, is
very generally expressed. A bill was
drawn at the last session of Congress to
make a change in the matter, but it did not
become law.

THE BALTIMORE QUESTIoN---BAR-
Toll AND BOND.

The New York Tribune speaking Of the
recent Maryland troubles, says;
The decision Of Baltimore Judge over
ruling the action Of Judge BoND in the ar
rest Of Gov. SWANS Police Commissioners
was, IL we'll done at all, well done tardily.
There can be no two opinions as TO the eff
feet Of Judge BONDS course in preventing a
more direct collision between a Governor
who, armed with a technical legality, sought
to defraud the people Of fair play, and the
loyal men Of Maryland made sore by the
manifest cheat put upon them. We
thought there would be a legal issue out Of
the trouble and we are glad that it is now
no more than a question between Judge
RoND and Judge BARroI. Both OF them
have been more wise and honest than Gov.
SWAMI.
This is an admission that Gov. SwANN's
position was legal-legal according to the
letter Of the law. As the Executive Of the
State he simply sought to enforce the law.
Judge BoND, under a technicality, and at
the instance Of party who sought 10 per
vert the law for political objects, stepped in
and gave them the advantage Of it. Judge
BARroI, his judicial superior, as soon as the
forms Of BoND's technically were gone
through with, overruled his action and sus-
tanned Gov. SWAMI. In the meantime, the
combined fraud and force which Judge
BoND and his Radical confederatcs brought
into action, failed Of its neiarious object.
The "fair play" that the Tribune speaks
Of, was the holding Of the recent election by
pariizan judges and oanvassers. Judge
BoNn a sworn officer, ruled, in violation Of
law, TO sustain that sort Of fair play. Gov.
SwANN, il protesting against It in advance,
and Judge BARToI., in subsequently, setting
it aside, have been more wise and honest
than Judge BoND. lie has proven himself
judicial knave.
