Annexation of Ireland to the United
States-ManIfestO of the FenIan Execu-
tive at the Foot of the GaItees, Etc.
DUBLIN, March 16.-The following important
manifesto has been largely circulated in all
notwithstanding the precautions of the Govern
ment officials. 1t reads thus:-
MANIFESTO OF THE IRISH PEOPLE.
Upon considering our present position, we
hSVe come to the following resolution on behalf
OF oar cOuntrymen in Ireland, in America, and
in every other quarter of the world where they
are now dispersed -
English government has become absolutely
intolPrable to us. We cannot endure a state of
society in which the commonest liberties of all
men are suspended.
We are unable to contend with our oppressors
in arms, and we turn to the hope of mankind,
the great republic of North America, in our
difficulties.
We ask 10 be admitted into the American
Union as a new State, having our own local
Government, but sending Representatives to
Congress.
we are as near to New York and Washing
ton as New Orleans and San Francisco, and we
have become so thoroughly Americanized that
connection with England is no longer tolerable
or possible.
This is final and solemn resolve upon full
dehberation.
We solicit our countrymen throughout the
Union Immediately to assemble and place this
the petition of twelve millions of Irishmen, in
due form before the President and Congress oI
the United States.
Signed on behalf of the Irish people.

SECOND EDITION
FROM WASHINGTON THIS AFTERNOON.
ESPECIAL DISPATCHES TO EVENING TELEGRAPH. !
WASHINGTON, March 20.


WASHINGTON, March 20.
Governor ThrOcIVmOrtOn, of Texas.
An effort will soon be made to induce Major
General Sheridan to remove Governor Throck-
morton, of Texas. The Union men now here
from that State claim that it will be useless for
them to attempt to organize a Government
under the Reconstruction bill while he is in
power, as his influence, and all the patronage
of his position, will be used by him in behalf
of the Rebels and the disfranchised classes
They are afraid that the freedmen will be
driven to vote against their wishes unless the
control of the Government is in the hands of
the Union party, and state that there are at
least fifty counties in which they will not be
allowed to vote at all unless they are protected
by the presence of Federal troops. If Throck-
morton is removed the appointment of Union
man will be secured, no matter what the desire
of the Administration may be, as the law
requires all officers to take the iron-clad test
oath. ThrockmOrton cannot take it, and there
are but few men of prominence IN the State
who can. Among them are Judge Paschal,
Judge Sherwood, and Judge Thomas, all
radical Unionists.
FirSt Pennsylvania Revenue District.
No action has been taken yet upon the
nomination in this district. The impression
here is that Mr.. Crawford's name will be
withdrawn, and Republican will be sent in
who will be confirmed, which it is said will
secure the confirmation of Mr.. Frazier.
The Fourth Revenue District.
Judge Kelley is strongly opposing the con-
frmation of McGrath for Collector and Theo-
dore Adams for Assessor in this district.
Judge Kelley's favorite for Assessor was Mr..
Henry M. Lewis, but he was thrown over
board.
The Nominations Before the Senate.
There are several hundred nominations now
before the Senate for action, which, if not
acted upon before the adjournment, will all
fail and, unless an Executive session is con-
vened by the President, these nominations
will have to be made over again.

that the Porte, have acceded 10 the arguments
of the great powers, and consented to evacuate
the Servan fortresses, as well as to grant i'm
portant concessions to its Christian subjects, it
has now become the absolute and imperative
duty OF the Prince to perform his part by pre-
venting the outbreak of any disturbances in

1t is believed in London that the Sultan is
sincerely anxious to carry out to the letter the
concessions he has piomised, aud it is expected
even that a Christian will shortly become a
member of the Turkish Cabinet.
BELGRADE, March l6.-In consequence of the
advice of England, Prince Michael has consented

New GoID DsoovERIEs.-A correspondent
of the Sioux City (owa) Register, writing from
Fort Beauford. Dakota, January 10Th, says
that in digging well at that post, at the
Senth of about twenty feet, vein of sand
was struck that panned out ten cents in gold
to eyery quart in dirt. Some Montana miners
saw there are some of the very best indications
for gold in large quantities about there. The
Reqister says:-"ln the fall of 1858 we were
shown some fine specimens of gold, brought
from the Black Hills region by Major Culbert-
son. of the American Fur Company, who also
gave it as his opinion, founded upon the
Rnowledee acquired by residence of more
tban q quarter of a century in the Indian
country. that gold existed in large quantities,

Melanch oily Suicide OF Major James
Stedman. at EredOnla, N. ".


FREDoNIA, March 25.--One of the most melan-
day morning last. which we have ever been
called upon to record.
Major James Stedman. an old citizen OF FIRE.
donia, and a gentleman held in universal esteem,
committed suicide by shooting and then hanging
himself to the beam OF his barn.
Major Stcdman had for several weeks given
indications of partial insanity, in his business
transactions, and in his intercourse with his
family. On Friday he went to several places
in the village and settled up some business
matters, declaring that he must settle up all his
matters.
On Friday evening, about 6 O'clock he left his
house to attend to some matters in the village.
Not returning as usual his family became
alarmed and his son started in search OF him.
The search was continued until morning, when
in the snow were found many footsteps round
his house, and then leading off to the barn.
On going to the barn they found marks OF blood
in the new white snow, which had fallen the
previous day.
Upon going into the barn, the most fearful
sight was revealed.
Major Stedman was found suspended to the
peam of his barn by rope-deadI
He had shot himself in the neck, first, with
his rifle in the hope, as ls supposed to sever
the iugular vein. Not producing as quick, WORK
as he desired, he unfastened COW, took the
rome with which she was ted and thus finished
the terrible tragedy. Major Stedman leaves 8
wife and four children, and the reputation OF 9
kind and exemplary husband and father, and 9
GOOD citizen. He was about f0rty-hye years o
age. This is the third suicide committed IN the
Village within the past three months.-hoohes5el

MoNTANA,-An old resident of Atchison, now
in Montana writes as follows to the Champion
concerning the country:-"I am satisfied that
within two years the extensive and fertile val
leys of the Territory will supply our popula-
ton with the products of the soil now brought
from the States. AS stock-raising country,
it certainly surpasses the best stock country
known to me. Stock thrives summer and
winter, without grain or provender, even in
winter. The diggings will yield the coming
season more than twice the amount Of gold of
any previous season; whilst in addition many
quartz mills and smelters will be in successful
operation. Indeed, many mills are now in
successful operation, not one of which, known
to me, fails to more than meet the expecta-
tions OF the owners. The climate Is well
adapted to persons afflicted with pulmonary

THE BANK OF ENGLAND.
From The London Morning Star. 18Th.
The reserve Of the Bank of England has again
crept up to sum exceeding $4,000, 600. The
directors however, made no alteration in the
rate of discount, but after a very brief sitting
proceeded to meet the proprietors at the half
yearly court. The Governor ntimated that the
dividend proposed tor the halt year was 81 per
cent. The net profits for the period have been
f192, 492. The usual discussion took place at
interest on deposits, and with the usual result,
the directors claiming for themselves the right
10 decide these matters according to their own
traditions and theories. The consequence of
their obstinacy on this point is that the bank of
the nation is losing its place at the head of bank
ing institutions. The deposits from the public
which they hold this week amount to
l6,7s9, ,l6l. Those OF the London and
Westminster Bank, by last half yearly report
amounted to 922,672, ,55s. The Government
account must, OF course be added to ascertain
the total amount of deposits held by the Bank
of England; but as this Is enjoyed partly as
species OF monopoly and partly as species of
reward for services given in the keeping of the
public accounts, the comparison ought to be
made between the deposits of the public en-
trusted to each bank. The question may not
seem to be a very practical one at the present
moment, when the bank has on hand ELL 1877 475
of it's own notes, for which it cannot get suffi-
an thp Inv pota af n
count which now rule; but the season is an ex-
ceptional one and we shall doubtless again
witness the reserve gradually disappearing, and
at the end of a period OF vigorous enterprise
or speculation, or both, the resources of the
Bank being pressed upon to an inconvenent, If
not az alarming extent.

The Proposed Match Between Heenan

Considerable interest is being manifested re-
specting the contemplated match between the
Benicia Boy and Joe CoDurn for the champion
snip, yet thus far no definite action has been
taken by either party. There is great desire
on the part of the friends of both TO make

frienos congregated at the Adriatic, in Hudson

matter. II is presumed that the affair will be
