LIVERPOOL. june l6,-The acton oil
the American Government toward the
Fenians gives general satisfaction. The
Times eulogises the American Govern
ment. and says it would be impossible TO
exaggeraie the good faith, the hrmness'
the sincerity, and the regard for the mn-
tnal obligations which have prompted
these energetic aud decisive measures
The article expressed qualification that
snch distinguished officers as Generals
Grant and Meade should have been sent
TO the scene. Their acts of friendship
will be long and cordially remembered
The Fenians are almost entitled to
thanks for having given the Americans
occasion for displaying their friendship
and good feeling.
The American Government has acted
in a manner which even exceeds any
thing that could be reasonably expected
from the most friendly nation.
The railway between Russia and De-
cader has been destroyed, and the COM
munication between Prussia and Saxony
is stopped Austria has an uninterrupted
line of communication along the 20
river
A Prague telegram of the 10th says
the Prussians occupy Bitlor aud Meanie.
Prussia, having previously declared
war, the entry of the Austrians is hourly
expected.
Paris papers report that the first en-
gagement took place a, Leipsic, on the
10Th. but it was not confirmed
The Paris Bourse was fiat on the 10th.

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES
From washington


WASHINGTON, June q. Yesterday,
for the first time during the session, the
members from the Middle States and
those from the Western States co-ope-
rated against the interes, Of New Eng
land. in which the latter were defeated
in their efforts to secure the Northern
Pacific Railroad route, the majority
adopting what is termed the Central
route. This bill allows the Union Pa.
cifc Railroad Company to change their
route so as to go by Denver City.
In the Senate, Mr.. Wade, from the
Committee on the District of Columbia,
reported bin to repeal an act TO rein
troduee the county of Alexandria 10 the
State Of Virginia The object Of the bill
is to make Alexandria part Of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
The bin to aid the construction Of tel
egraph lines and TO secure the Govern
ment use of the same for postal, mill
tary and other purposes, was called up,
aud some discussion ensued
Mr.. Brown, in the course Of some re-
marks, abiding to the report of the
Postmaster General, on the subject of
telegraph Eaes, said that in this report
The Postmaster General had shown HIM
self utterly incompetent for the position
he holds He says the report was made
mp in great part from communications
from persons interested in a great mo
nopoly that now has control Of this
country the Postmaster General had
reflected more discredit on himself in
this connection than perhaps had ac-
crued with regard to any other officer of
the Government. Then his position
heretofore has striven to advance the
public interest, but he had stood in the
way Of needed reform
Mr. sherman regretted that Mr.. Brown
should have made such a personal attack
upon Mr. Dennison, whom he (Sherman)
knew 10 have the public interest at heart,
and to be as DESTROYS as anybody of ad-
vancing it
The House passed bill for the pre-
yention of smuggling.
Mr.. Morrill,, Of Vermont, from the
Committee on Ways and Means, reported
the Senate amendments to the Tax bill
The House concurred in nearly all OF
them, but disagree TO the amendment Of
tax Of two instead Of FIVE cents a pound
on cotton. This, with other amend
ments, will be adjusted by Committee
on Conference
A favorable reception levee was given
TO the Commissioners at Washington

The already well established fact that
the soldiers who were most courageous
and gallant in the field are the most lib
eral and magnanim0u5 now that the
war is over, finds fresh illustrations ey-
er day. Whether still connected with
the army, or in the halls of congress, or
in the State legislature, or in private
life, if any man who has 'woTn the blue
uniform is found acting with The radical,
proscriptiye negro suffrage party it may
generally be assumed that lac has had a

we would also say that every exertion
was made by the committee TO OBTAIN
the engine at an early date; put, owing
to the difficulty of obtaining the proper
material for her manufacture, the build
ers were compelled to disappoiht us as "
time.
After the winter had set in we were
not DESTROYS of insisting upon
the builders making any great
hurry in her construction, from
! the single fact that we had no place
| to put the engine should she come, it be,
of the utmost Importance that she should
be placed in good warm quarters w l !,
the frost could not reach her, as the boil
er, to render her efficient, should be kept

we receive the engine we would have to
store her away in useless condition, or
we would run the risk of having her
ruined by freezing and bursting her

Had not a portion of the ex.committee
on the Fire Department failed to do
their whole duty in this matter, there Is
little doubt but we would now have
both the engine aud house to protect

wh., Il. will Cost.

While glancing over the provisions OF
the registration act yesterday, we we're
+ curious enough to make a rough calcu-
lation of the actual cash cost of the
system contemplated by the bill. In
these days of high prices and high taxes
the wasting of siAgle dollar of the pub
lie money is grievous crime, aud legis-
Iators should hesitate long before voting
to increase the already heavy burdens
of the people; and they should hesitate
still lorner and deliberate still more
carefully before deciding to squander SO
much public treasure for such an un just
purpose, as will be rendered necessary by
the passage of the registration act
z In this State there are fifty counties,
and in each county three men are to be
appointed to act as county boards OF reg
istration. One hundred and fifty officers
of this kind will thus be created THESE
officers are to receive two dollars DAY
for ten days servic being twenty ooi-
lars to each member of the board OF
Three Thousand Dollars TO all. Wehave
no means of ascertaining precisely the
number of election precincts in the
State, but suppose that the average is
not less than eight in each county; II
this be correct, there are in the State
four hundred precincts In each
of these precincts one registrar
is to be appointed who is to
serve not less than fifteen
days at two dollars per day; making
thirty dollars to each registrar, or
Twelve Thousand Dollars TO all Each
board of registration is authorized to
employ clerk at two dollars and fifty
cents day. He cannot perform his du-
ties in less than thirty DAYS and will re-
ceve seventy-fve dollars therefor. and
the whole fifty will receive Three Thou
sand Seven Hundred and Fifty Dollars
Each of the four hundred registrars is
authorized to employ clerk ut one dol
lar and fifty cents a day These clerks
being required to make four copies of the
entire registration list will probably oc-
cupv at least sixty days in all the duties
devolving upon them; each one will re-
ceive ninety dollars, and the whole four
hundred will cost the State Thirty-six
Thousand Dollars. In each election
precinct four registration books are to be
provided at cost of not less than two
dollars apiece; making sixteen hundred
books at a cost of Three Thousand Two
Hundred Dollars A very moderate es
innate of the expenses of advertising,
stationery, Office rent, &c, cannot
be less than One Thousand Dol
lars. Now let us put these items
together:
