The Fenian Movement.

This enterprise has turned out total failure
Canada was invaded at one or two points by
inconsiderable forces, badly provided with mu-
nitions of war, and apparently without any
arrangement in reference to subsistence How
under such circumstances they could have ex-
pected to succeed, is beyond comprehension -
The nct is, that before any invasion was at
tempted, the Fenians had become divided among
themselves to such an extent that concert of
action and unity of feeling or purpose did not
exist; and if we are 10 be governed by the va
rious accounts of their movements for the last
twelve months, we cannot avoid the conclusion
that there was great bitterness of feeling amongst
them. True, they all appeared to favor the i'm
mediate liberation of Ireland, but how absurd to
suppose that anything in that direction could DO
gained with what appeared at first a powerful
organization, divided into small divisions, and
at war with each other instead of the common
enemy. They seemed never to have had entire
confidence in their leaders, and it is doubtful
whether any of them were competent men; most
certainly many of them were not. The hundreds
of poor people who have given up their all for
the cause are to be pitied, and the numerous
volunteers who left their employments, believing
that they were about to strike blow for Ire
land, must feel sadly disappointed, while those
who have unfortunately fallen into the hands of
the Canadian authorities, must expect but little
mercy. Of their return, it is said by cotem-
porary that
"The men appeared to have been greatly de-
moralized, which was very natural under the
circumstances; and being now confessedly de-
sirous to get home, the United States is to give
them transportation for that purpose. Thus ends
the impracticable Fenian war on Canada, which
in view of the great discussions openly existing
all the while in the Fenian councils, attained
even larger proportions than might have been
expected 1t was the expectation of these dis
sensions rendering the whole thing nugatory,
which probably kept back the presidents procla-
nation to so late day.

lease of Jefferson Davis upon bail, which they
offer in any sum, or by parole. 1t is also said
that number of prominent radicals have uni
ted in recommendation for Mr.. Davis release
either on bail or on parole This being the case,
It appears that something should be done in the
premises. II he were discharged as prisoner of
war, he could lie Immediately arrested under the
indictment for treason. There is, we suppose,
reason for This delay, but ii is rather difficult
to discover what it is. 1t is said that Mr.. Davis
was a::leader in the rebellion. True, but he has
offered himself for trial in the manner directed by
law, and if he cannot now be tried, why not re-
lease him on bail, or on parole. In this connec-
ton the Washington correspondent ofthe Balt-
more Sun says:
''The President may order that Mr.. Davis be re-
leased on parole. He must be taken out of mill
tary custody entirely. Then he may be arrested
under the Norfolk Indictment and the United
States district attorney and judge may admit
him 10 bail to appear at the court in October
But the object will no doubt be effected in some
| way -

The Trial of Jefferson Davis.

The trial of MIR. Davis has been continued nm
I'll october next the government not being ready
for trial, although more than thirteen months
have elapsed since his arrest. The Deputy At
torney announced to the counsel of Mr.. Davis
that he had not yet been in the custody of the
court, but is held by the United States Govern
ment as State prisoner, under an order of the
President. 1t would seem that the government
might by this time have found whether Mr..
Davis had any connection with the assassination
at Washington, or in regard to the starving of
prisoners, or any other military crime with
which he is charged. The committee surely must
have come TO some conclusion in regard 10 the
matter before this; they ought by this time
to know the truth or falsfy of the charge, and
II Mr.. Davis is innocent, it certainly is wrong to
continue his Imprisonment. His counsel strong
~ urged upon the court his immediate trial, or
his release on bail or otherwise. If, therefore.
the authorities, from the evidence in their possess
sion, DO not feel at liberty to discharge him
either on parole or bail, or finally, it would ap-
pear but just and reasonable to grant him an
immediate trial
In regard to his release, the counsel of Mr.. Da-
Wis has, it is said, applied to Judge Underwood,
and that he refused 10 entertain the applica.
tion on the ground that as the accused is a prs.
oner of war; the civil tribunals have no jurisdic-
ton over the case. The Judge reduced his opin-
ion to writing, and it was taken by Mr.. O'Con-
nor, senior counsel of Mr.. Davis, to the Presi-
dent. Any further action in the matter depends
upon the further order of the Government A

The Fall Election.

we notice that our exchanges are beginning
to agitate this question: but as yet we have heard
but few names mentioned in connection with any
of the various Offices to be filled. 1t seems to us
particularly important that at the coming fall
election, we should not only have candidates of
irreproachable moral character, but also of
ability and energy. Men who are fearless in the
discharge of their duties, and possessing talents
which must at all times command respect
This is eminently desirable, so far as the nation

gratifed to learn from a friend the other day,
that General Thomas F. Bowie, of Prince
Georges county, has been named as a candidate
for Congress in the fifth congressional district

part of this State in Congress with much ability,
and with entire satisfaction to the people of his

tended our last term of Court, and in the trial of
two or three very heavy cases, gave unmistaka-
BILE evidences ola cultivated mind and eminent
legal abilities. We would be glad to see Mary

and therefore wish General Bowie success, should
he become candidate 1t would be well for
the country, if every voter in the nation could be
made to believe, what is the fact, that no good,
but great harm must result to the county, from
continuing longer in power the present Rump

Judge Underwood,

Judge Ohderwoud's supplementary
charge to his itinerant Grand Jury was
no more decent in its tone than was to be
expected from man of his antecedents
He congratulated his complaisant Jurors
upon having escaped with life from "as-
saults' that orr ginated in some ina ginary
brain. "The wicked flee when no one pur-
suetb,' saith Holy Writ, and it may be
that some of the Judges disciples were
afflicted with uufounded fears for their
safety. We have said before, and we re-
iterate it, and every respectable citizen of
Richmond will verify it, that none of these
men in Richmond were ever assaulted,
or even threatened on account oftheir &C.
ton at Norfolk, and Mr.. Underwood pros.
titutes his position to give credit to any
Infamous Islander upon our people when
he thus speaks from his bench.
The press of this city were abused in
unmeasured terms, and it is evident that
the Judge is seeking to use the influence
Of his office to wreak private vengeance
on those who, having no respect for hlm,
have very naturally shown him none.-
He calls the Richmond press licentious
and reasonable, and ascribes an untold
list Of vices, to its evil teachings. Ifthis
monster OF lniqulty attacks the Jury they
are instructed by this eminent court that
they have the power in their hands both for
defence and offence. No doubt the press
will issue blank sheets to-day in terror of
the fierce wrath that await any unguar-
ded and disrcspectful remark. We ven.
ture to say that as the liberty of the press
in Virginia existed before him, it is likely
survive him and his memory for many fu-
ture ages. He thinks prostituted press
great calamity, and gives his conde-
scending approval to virtuous one. We
are happy to be able to say, in return, to
use the Judges figure of speech, that We
detest prostituted Judge, but that
virtuous one is an object of our highest
respect.
Richmond is reviled as much worse
than the cities on the slavecoast of Afr-
ca. She is characterized as "infamous :"
as having :'baj emiuence" in the world
and as having debased herself beneath the
heather nations of the earth. Such vitu-
peration from the seats of justice struck
all the uninitiated with amazement and hor.
ror. If any branch of the Government
of the United States should exhibit i'm
partial justice, and refrain from every thing
like pre-judgment and hate, it certainly
should be the Supreme Court. We have
no hesitation in saying that Judge Under
wood, by such a display of malice as he
made yesterday, disgraced bis official err.
mine. Neither the people nor the press
of this city feel any worse for the denun-

From the Frederick (n.) Union.
The Registry Law.

The adoption of resolution last week
by the delegates of the Unconditional
Union Party and protessed .triends of
President johnson, at Temperance Tenn
pie in the city of Baltimore, against the
modification of the Registry Law, sur
prised and mortified every real friend Of
liberal sentiments and enemy of radical
ism in the State, for they had right to
look for, and expect, better things from
that quarter.
We say professed friends of president
Johnson, because it is utterly impossible
for any man who fully and cordially en-
dorses President johnson and his restora.
ton policy, and is anxious to strengthen
his hands in the bitter war of persecution
which the radicals are wagiug against
him, to hesitate single moment as to his
duty. The Registry Law, as it now
stands upon our statute books, as the only
barrier in the way of the friends of Presi
dent johnson, and hence the surprise and
regret which the action of his professed
friends in the city of Baltimore occasioned
in all the other sections of the State
The Registry Law excludes the real friends
Of the President from the polls, and they
who oppose its modification, extend the
power of the radicals and weaken the hands

Of Frederick County, and others of the
same ilk, will find their way into the Leg
islatuIe, to renew the term of Creswell in

Creswell in the Senate and Frank Thomas

President would be very apt to exclaim--

In fact the radicals, fearing that good and
proper persons will be appointed as Reg.
listers, are already beginning to boast that
they have the Election Judges, who can
thw art, defeat, set aside and override the
action Of the Register, and thus extend
their political power in the State. Toe
much care cannot be exercised in the Sc.
lection of Registers, but at the same time,
all who endorse President Joknson's res
toration policy, who oppose negro suf-
rage, negro equality and the radicals in
and out of Congress, must unite as one
man in favor of modification of the
Registry Law. Agreeing on all other
points they cannot and must not differ on

MAY TERM, 1866.


To the Honorable JOHN III. PRICE,

port that they have visited the Jail, as re-

prisoned therein, viz {: One white and six
bIacks-the white and one black man in

They are as well cared for by the kind
and attentive Sheriff as the miserable con-
struction of the building and its dilapida-

we should fail in our duty to truth, our
tellow-citizens, and the cause of human-

strongest terms our condemnation of the

We have also visited the Aims House
and find the number of inmates to be IL
males and eight females, and believe the
manager has been making all reasonable
exertions for the proper management ofthe
institution and comfort ofthe unfortunate,
but believe new buildings indispensable for
the full attainment of that object, and re-
commend, with view to the care of the
insane as well as sane, paupers of the
