Feniaa Outbreak In lrelend-Several
Persons Killed = Telegraph Wires
Destroyed.
LONDON, February 15.-Eight hundred
Fenians, commanded by Colonel o. Conner,
have assembled, and retreatsd to the hills
In the neighborhood. An ex-captain of
the United States army has been arrested
at Killarney as Fenian leader. A mum.
Der of marines at Portsmouth have received
orders to depart for the insurrectionary
district.
LONDON, February 1.-THE Government
denies the widespread stories Of the land
ing of ship-loads Of Fenians. A serious
revolt at Killarney Is admitted.
The telegraph wires near Valentia are
destroyed for long distance.
Several of the coast guard and pilotmen
have been killed.
LONDON, February Tsp. M.-Much Of
the meagre news received is suppressed by
the Government. A large party of Fe-
mans are surrounded in Toomie's wood,
and their escape is doubtful. Eight hun
dred are still in the hills near Killarney.
The uprising thus far is confined to Ker-
ry and Cork counties. It's spread is i'm
probable.
LONDON, February 16.-The county of
Kerry has been proclaimed in state Of
siege. O'Connor and James Stephens are
said to be the same persons. Twenty
Americans are acting with the Fenians.

4 REBEL GENERAL SPEAKs.-At a ban
ouet in ST. Louis the other day, General
jeff. Thompson, formerly of the rebel
army, responded in humorous speech,
stating that as far as he was con-
cerned he had very sad experience on
the river known as the Mississippi. He
saw many faces around the table which he
had seen in battle, and he preferred to see
them always around the table. He had
fought up and down the Mississippi on foot,
on horseback, and on deck, and was willing
to own that he never got what he ex-
pected.
He continued at some length, and was
vociferously cheered throughout. The Star
Spangled Banner was then sung, all stand
ing, and the guests dispersed with three
cheers for the perpetuation of the Union
forever,

THE PRESIDENT AND CoNGREss.-It is
learned from the Republican Congressman
who held conference last night with the
President that the latter seems inclined to
favor the Blaine amendment as compro-
mise between the Executive and Congress
on The reconstruction question, but with
the modification that it shall demand i'm.
partial suffrage from the South IN place OF
universal suffrage. The Blaine PROPOSE
lion proposes to amend the Military Go.

SO as to require Of The South the ratitica.

| WASHINGTON, February 16.-SENATE.-
The proceedings last night on Blaine's
amendment were scattering. The point
on which the Republicans split is allowing
ex- Confederates to vote. All favor the
black vote, but some seem to abhor the idea
of DISTINGUISHING the whites and placing
the States at the mercy Of the blacks
others are determined to disfranchise the
whites as punishment, and others because
they fear their votes. After several mo-
tiones.to adjourn were negatived, and q
proposition to vote at IL O'Clock, the Sc
nate finally adjourned.
In the course of debate, Mr.. Doolittle
said the South would not accept universal
suffrage, but would prefer military rule.
Mr.. Wilson responded, "We will make
them accept it."
Mr.. Wilson, during the session, intro
duced bill declaring the constitutional
amendment ratified and part of the Con-
stitution.
| The Senate insisted on its amendment to
the bankrupt bill. and asked for commit
tee of conference.
The Stevens bill was resumed. Mr..
Doolittle said it was declaration of war
upon ten States. He closed at half-past 4
o'clock, and Mr.. Salisbury obtained the
floor. The Senate then took q recess.
HoUsE.-The concurrent resolutions of
the New York Legislature approving of
the District of Columbia suffrage bill
were presented.
A resolution inquiring into alleged cor
ruption of members of the House involv-
ing its honor by promising not to do GER
tain things if the President changed his
policy, and inquiring into the names of
the members who carried messages be-
tween them and the President, was referred
to select committee of three.
Two and o quarter millions were appro-
priated for the revenue cutter service.
A bill was passed to erect lighthouses
at the following places: Braddocks Point,
Ca; Combahee Bank, Ga; Tybee Island
Knob, Ga; Morris Island, S. c.; st. ST.
mons, Ca; Lapela Island, Ga; and Wolf
Island, Ga.
The sum of s4,sOO,oO0 was appropriated
for river and harbor improvements, OF
which the South gets only 100000 for the
improvement of the. mouth of the Mis-
sissippi.
The bill providing for President in case

From Warrington.

WASHINGTON, February ia Re-
publican caucus has appointed a committee
ofseven to combine the Stevens and Elliott
bills to apply to all the southern States.
The internal revenue this week is
%, 100000.
WASHINGTON, February 1.-THE sub
stitute of Mr.. Sherman for the Stevens
bill was adopted-twenty-nine to ten-by
the Senate. 1t is substantially Blaine's
amendment. The bill will meet serious
opposition in the House.
Several Republicans, including Brande-
gee and Stevens, are reported indignant
that the President should have to approve
death sentences, and that the Federal
courts should be allowed to issue habeaS
corpus writs. The friends Of the measure
apprehend veto, and that the boilers will
defeat the entire measure. Three sena-
tors voted nay on the motion to substitute
Sherman's for Stevens's bill-namely,
Salisbury, Buckalew, and Davis. An
amendment that all pun;shments under
Sherman's substitute should be according
to the existing law was defeated-29 to 8.
Sherman's substitute, in its preamble
and relative to military provisions and dis,
tricts, is similar to Stevsns's bill, except
that the President, instead Of the Genera
of the army, appoints the officers com
handing. Sentences Of death require the
Presidential approval, and habeas corpus il
not suspended beyond that all interference
of State authority with the military autho
rity is nullifed. The following is
