Ireland in Rebeninn.

The news from Europe by the Asia brings the
remarkable, though perhaps not quite unexpected
fact that third part of the British. empire is i'll
state Of revolution. The writ of habeas corpus has
been suspended all over Ireland by act of both
Houses of Parliament, hastily passed, and as
speedily signed by the Queen at eleven o'clock the
same night. This cannot be regarded i'll any other
light than q voluntary declaration by the govern
ment that Ireland is engaged in rebellion which
cannot be suppressed by the agency of civil law,
and that the government is compelled to resort to
military force in order to keep that portion of the
United Kingdom i'll unwilling subsection. This is
an admission which strong governments ale not
accustomed to make. Indeed it is the last thing
any government would be likely to do except i'll a
very serious emergency. Therefore we are bound
to accept the fact that Ireland is at the present
moment i'll rebellion. The Lord Lieutenant, it
appears, declared that he would not be RESPONSE
bic for the consequences which he foresaw as the
result of the widespread Fenian conspiracy unless
the habeas corpus act was suspended. 1t appears,
furthermore, that the first movement of the au-
t,orities after the suspension of the writ was to
arrest and imprison number of officers who Lately
served in the American army during the war, now
sojourning in Ireland, along with hundreds OF
others, supposed to be connected with Fenlanlsm.
The London Times declares that the special object
of this action is to secure the persons of these
American citizens.

time to fix his own ideas of the precise mode p
accomplishing this end, because we had margin
of time, lasting till after the next session of Con
gress, during which the present freedmen's bureau
could continue in operation if, before that time,
the Southern States should recognise the necessity
of passing proper laws themselves, and providing
"a proper system of protection for the freedmen,
nothing further on our part would be necessary.
Ii they did not do what they ought, there would
then be time enough to elaborate plan.
He then referred briefly to the fact that men
who have been di5loyal we're rejoicing over his
veto message, saying that if these men, In good
faith, adopt the views of policy he had himself
acted upon, and which he had SO fully elaborated
In his annual message and explained to me, the
country surely could have no cause for sorrow in
that. If disoyal men and rebels everywhere, north
and south, should cordially give in their adher-
ence to the conditions of restoration he had uni
formly insisted upon, he thought that was precise
~ the kind of pacitication loyal men everywhere
would rejoice in. The more they committed
to such course, the better He would like it,
for if they were not sincere, they would at least
diminish their power of dangerous opposition In
future. His whole heart with the body OF the
true men who had carried the country through
the war; and he earnestly desired to maintain a
cordial and perfect understanding with then.-
This sentiment and purpose he regarded as entire
ly consistent with determined opposition to the
abstraction policy of those extremists who, he
believed would keep the country III chaos till all
solute ruin might come upon
Such, my dear sir, Is the conversational state
ments of the President on this important matter,
and if you could meet his straig htforward honest
look, and hear the hearty tones of his voice
did, am well assured that you would believe with
me that although he may not receive personal
saults with the equallmlty and forbearance Mr..
Lincoln used to show, there is need to fear
that Andrew johnson is not hearty and sincere in
his adhesion to the principles upon Y hich he
was elected. Very truly, YOURS j. ID. Cox.

A New York contemporary has taken the pains
to call from Parton's life of Jackson the following
specimens of his passionate outbursts
"To son of Rufus King, who was the spokes-
man of a committee of merchants and bankers
from this city, General Jackson said fsWel
cir, Rufus King was always Federalist, and I
suppose you take after him. Insolent, do you
say? What do you come to me for, then 2" To
another delegation, he said Why am L teased
with committees? Here [ receiving two or
three anonymous letters every day, threatening
me with assassination if don't restore the depos
its and recharter the bank-the abominable insti-
tution-the monster that has attempted to control
the government. I've got my foot upon it, and
I'll crush it., He perpetualy saying he had
no confidence In Congress, and expressing the
opinion that its members had been bought up

Tie friends Of the President on the Concurrent Reso-
ition-G General iSteoonaa-IHe cleltyiahEe Se1n.nes
Trial, dc.
WASHINGTON, March 3, 1866.
The friends of the President in the Senate who
voted to sustain his veto of the Freedmen's Bureau
bill found true and consistent yesterday when
the veto was taken on the concurrent resolution,
the purport of which is to deprive the Southern
States of their proper representation until the ma
ioritv party shall decide them in fit condition to
become States of this Union, until they send
individuals to Congress who are willing to be
preached to by Sumner and whipped by Stevens
which will be regarded as evidence of true and I'M
aduterated loyalty. This resolution, Matched into
life on the day after the President made his great
speech announcing to the people of the country
his stern determination not to wander single iota
from the line of policy he has marked out for his
guidance in re-estabGshing the constitutional rela
tiOnS of all the States, was intended, among other
things to deprive the Executive of the veto power
on question now of more importance than any
other, and its passage will in instance tend to-
wards lessening the breach there is settled a
purpose among many of the Republicans to heal
if possible; and the President regards it in just
exactly its proper ght-a hit at the cardinal point
OF the policy of restoration.
Gen. Steadman, whose name has been SO prom
inently before the country in connection with the
office of Secretary of War, yet remains In WASH
ington. He Was once Oh the point of leaving,
since his arrival few days SINCE but remained III
accordance with a request of the President.
The hitch in the trial of Capt. Semmes occasions
considerable speculation. 1t is hard to understand
why it is not commenced, particularly it is un-
lerstood, and has been stated In previous let
fer of your correspondent, that orders were given
by the President for appointment OF a Board
TO consist of army and navy officers, the latter
predominating in number. AS the Judge Advo-
cate has been very industrious in completing his
arrangements, it is difficult to state why matters
have not been brought to some conclusion ere
this
Interesting statements have been made with re-
gard to the coin removed from the banking houses
of Richmond when that place evacuated by
the Confederate army. What part of it escaped
plumber about one hundred thousand dollars
will be restored to the claimants by the United
States authorities the necessary proofs
of identity furnished.
1t is mentioned that the State of Tennessee is
to be admitted into the Union-which she has
never, according to the Executive doctrine, been
out Of-undcr certain conditions in requiring
which, the purpose is not to allow any detraction
from Radical dignity in the last great act of con-
descension. What these conditions are, have not
been informed, further than that there rriR be an
attempt to impose them the price of her admis-
sion. TlMON,

GOOD ADVICE FROM THE RIGHT QUARTER.
New DIRK Commercial Adfe,fisey, Il thoroughgoing
Union and Republican paper, expresses warm
disapproval OF the undigntied terms i'll which the
Radical press deal with the Presidents veto mes
sage. The Commercial says
Not satisfied with open charges of disgrace
full nature, they deal largely in inuendo, which
they cannot and dare not back up by proof There
real for any conflict between the
President and the majority in Congress. If his
arguments are weak, let them be answered. IL he
vetoes Il law which he cannot approve, let them
frame law to which he will assent But in no
event, for the honor and credit of the country,
and for their own sel-respect, should they indulge
i'll the coarse and unseenlv vituperation which
characterize them. This is day when calm and
dispassionate craftsmanship is required, and when
the terrible evils of are to be corrected War
is utterly wicked that It leaves only evil in its
trail, and it is far difficult to find the way
out of the meshes III which hostilities involve a
State, than it is to conduct the measures of war
policy. A few days of reflection has given time
for passion to cool, and the duty of the present
hour should suggest to the representatives of the
people the necessity of engaging heartily and
honestly Ill the work of restoration. If party
could be forgotten, there would be immediate
hope. Must forever lave the measures of leg
islation dependent upon the necessities of mere
party politics ??
