New Orleans Market.

NEW ORLEANS, april 14-CorToN. There was
again moderate inquiry this morning, but the move
ment was checked, both by the high pretensIons ol
factors for desirable Lists and the limited extent Of the
supply Offering. and at later hour still more by In
creased dullness and further reduction In foreign ex
change The sales were consequently confined to 1900
bales taken by nine brokers, at figures showing in
creased rregulsrity the better qualities commanding
comparatively full prices while the poorer descriptions
sold freely at inside figures. Nothing however, trans
pred to require change in our quotations, which we
repeat as follows: Ordinary S0@31c good ordinary
S2@34c. low middling S6@S6c middling Ss@4Oc Extra
staple commands extra prices, and parties who have
confined their purchases to such descriptions quote
low middling 1c higher than our figures.

and shipped it to its destination. I1is
amounted in all to about 480, 600 rounds In

Arsenal, The only slipmcnts OF at1us hare
been from the United States Arsenal at this
point, and these we're transferred In the line
Of legitimate duty to other posts a. ordered
from headquarters.
it i now understood that the pretended
manufacturer purchased the ammunition re-
ferred to for Fenian use. Had this been
known the sole would not have been made,
for fayozahlc propositions had been repeatedly
refused from prominent Fenian agents. The
purchaser In question brought documeuts 10

that required the use Of lead, and in addition
to the ammunition, purchased large amount
Of old lend and refuee material collected dur

TIE RIGHT OF AAEkUm,

The Illinois Saass Zei!ung Is protests against
the intractton- By the Chicago
Ta1nusEof the right of asylum. which Is
guaranteed to every political fugitive" It
adds that the Feuians. captured by the steam
er Niagara, arc "as much political fngilives
rs kossuth." Suppose the Jesuits OF Canada
should conceive 1t to bs their duty to establish
tho lnquisftion In Chicago, or to make Roman
Catholicism ths State Church in this country,
aud should send over twelve hundred armed
men to accomplish their objects. They would
probably encounter resistance from the Ger
man born population Of Chicago. Suppose,
in the course Of the melee, the Canadian pro-
pagandists should bum the S1aats Zeitung
of1ica and Kill it's editor, and then make good
their escape to their Own country. Would
they be "political refugees" and entitled to
the fright of asylum " aud the protection Of
the British government! What is the right
or asylum! It Is the protection which one
country gives to the citizens Of another when
fleeing on account Of political offences.
The phrase has no meaning when
applied to the Fenians captured By the
Niagara, unlesa they can prove that they are
citizens OF Great Britain. This they cannot
do, for ntne-tenths Of them hare voted In
this country, and always voted the Copper
head ticket. If Ireland were beligercnt
power engaged In actual hostilitles with Eng
laud, the right OF asylum might, perhaps,
be stretched to cover the Fcn1aus, although
they are, for the most part, citizens OF the
the CnIted States. But no revolt exists In
Ireland - certainly no more than exists
in the Southern States Of America.

The first Fent2n raid on Campo BtlIo was
a 1zzle. The second Fenlan raid from Buff
falo was spiteful and murderous hasco. not
go formidable Is to attain to the dfgpity Of
war, but sufficiently vindlcttre to set the
match TO long train Of combustiblc efe-
ments. The third, and by far tho more ltnpor-
tant Feuian movement, which bids fair to
assume the importance Of an invasion, IL now
advancing from northern New York, in the
direction OF Montreal. It Is only necessary
that OR Government should continue to dis.
play the inactivity which has hitherto char
acterized it, and in few weeks the American
people will find themselves driftcd Into a war
with England, without the action ot any
branch Of our Government, but In obedience
to the bebests of law defyfng mob.
1t becomes us to ask ourselves whether the
United States are governed by the Federal
Government OF the Fenian Brotherhood9 Is
our war-making power vested In the. Federal
or the Fenian Congress? Have We rebcllious
element In our midst whose crimes the Gov
crnment has no power to suppress, prevent
or punish If not, IT is high time The Govern
mcnt should decide whether it is easier to
fight the Fcniaus or Great Britain. The policy
which allows murderous raid to 1T out from
our shores, and make war on a commp-
nifty at peace with xs, without even a proc
lamation Of rehuke, which allows hostile
force to assemble and cross the frontier un-
der our very guns, and only iutcrcedes to
capture them when they hare done all their
mischief, and capture is convenient as ;4ode
ot securing Government fations, which allows
tie Federal officer In command to ride for
miles On the same train with the FenIan
officer whose movements he IL sent to coun-
tcract and ar7est-an this superficial and hol-
low prcteuce of fidelity to our laws can de-
ceive no one. The country needs to face the
fact that our Government is acting as If 1t
courted a war with England, and
to inquire the reason why. Have
Republican Presidents learned from
European dcspots to desire to wipe out the
stain Of domestic blunders in the blood of
foreign war; Is it proposed to unite The
country in support of " my policy" By plung-
ing it into uecdless struggle for territorial
aEE1apdlEenent and European revolution,
that will double our national debt and taxes,
and still further merge the liberties Of the
people in the necessities of the Government
True, We dcspise the pusillanimous failpre
Of the Canadians to enforce their neutrality
