A FRNIAN PROCLAMATION.
independent and National Resolves
of the Irish Republicans.

Oh AAt ANANh AaENAuAhNNhAs
DUBLIN, Jan. IS, lS67.-To All 10 Whom
it MAY Concern In the present moment
Gus crisis Of Irish nationality, when in the
ewes of the world the question Of Ireland's
existence or total extinction as an indie
pendent nation seems trembling in the
balance we, the representatives of the Re
publican party OF Ireland, deem il our
duty TO make known TO all true symps-
thizers with our down-trodden race and
oppressed nationality, that we have taken
our final stand on the high vantage ground
oC selcreliance; that taught by years Of
bitter experience, We no longer base
our hopes of success upon the cooperation
Of our countrymen in America and that
we repudiate, once and forever, the degrad-
ing doctrine that Irish liberty and Irish
rights are not 20 be without assistance
from foreign and external sources. No
longer shall we be dominated by the auto
cratic dicta of a single will no longer shall
the destinies Of our race hang upon the
strength of weakness Of a single mind. Our
lost opportunities and blighted hopes pro
claim trumpet-tongued that the time for
such fedual administration Of our affairs ~
past.
From a deep conviction Of this truth We.
the republican representatives Of Ireland
formed, on the 18th inst, a Directory, with
supreme control of the organization On
The oath inst we became aware of the ac-
ton Of our coantrymen in America in the
deposition Of Mr.. Stephens and the election
of General GIeeson 10 the vacant head CEN
tership While viewing these matters with
indifference and IS entirely unconnected
with ourselves, we still trust that We retain
the sympathy OF our expatriated country
men. wherever they are 70 be found. But
not to them alone do we appeal for sympa-
thy: when our struggle for independence
shall be inaugurated the world shall behold
the champions of liberty Of every nation
ality rallying round our banner Of rights.
Then. and not till then, shall the soldier
and the patriot be recognized for his true
worth. and the self-sufhcient fool and in
triguing coward forced 10 wallow IN the
miro Of his own infamy.
Ere long shall the world behold the spec
tacle Of nation uprising in its might
strong in its self-confdence and conscious
right, 10 win its way 20 its legitimate place
among The peoples Of the earth, or set mid
a halo Of blood and glory which shall serve
a. q lone star Of liberty 10 future ages and
succeeding generations.
Remembering always that fortune iavors
the brave and enterprising, however ad-
verse she may appear for a time, We resolve
90 commit ourselves 20 energetic and inde-
pendent action, as the only course now be
fitting brave and Memorable men, sedu-
lously eschewing for the future all unne-
cessary exposure Of our plans BY public
displays Of our patriotism.
Such being the sentiments which actuate
MS. We shall enter fearlezsly upon the course
we have marked out-and may God defend
the right.

A SOUTHERN GOVERNOR 70 THE
FREEDMEN.

Gov. Orr of South Carolina in compa-
ny with Gen. Scott Freedmens Bureau
Commissioner Of that State addressed a
large assembly Of the colored people in
Charleston a few days since The Coy
ernor's remarks were kindly and whole
some. He advised them to eschew politics,
and to labor to make the most of the civil
rights which the governments, both State
and Federal, had granted them He
frankly told them that the conlerment Of
the suffrage upon their class indiscrimi.
nately would not be boon to them, or a
service to the country He also said
that public sentiment in the South was
becoming prepared to admit them to
qualified suffrage but that their duty
themselves was to labor and to wait He
cited the following historical illustration,
as bearing upon the attitude they held to
the question
The Revolutionary war closed in 1888.
In 1903, some twenty-five years after, and
not until then, was the constitution of South
Carolina altered so as TO allow even all
white men to vote. Nobody,was allowed to
vote, not even a white man, from 1903 to
1908, unless he was the owner of fifty acres
of land or more. Why was it that soldiers
who fought through the Revolutionary war,
who aided in achieving the independence
Of their country, were excluded from the
ballot-box? Simply because the wise men
of that day, the Legislators themselves,
knew the importance of casting a vote for
legislators to make laws. They knew the
education Of these men had been neglected,
and they waited until a new generation
grew up and had some advantages Of edh-
cation before even the white race was per
mitted TO vote.

the LIST Of September, 1861, no tax is to be
levied on cotton grown in the United
States.
The amendment relieving fire insurance
companies from ! per cent. tax on gross
receits for one year was debated and lost.
A large number of articles were added to
the free list .f f4as gu.
MIR. Conner rose TO motion 10 suspend
the rules and close the debate, which was
lost. A motion was adopted that debate
on the pending section be closed in one
minute. #sasE5f
= The House again took up the tax bill
An amendment offered to increase the tax
was lost, and consequently il remains )
per cent. on Se.Ass of $1,000. Hri #f
The amendments to CONSULAR and diplo-
matte appropriation bill and the Sen
ate amendment, making appropriation for
Portugal, the motion, was nOnconcurred in,
and the other amendments concurred in.
Mr. Leblond moved to reconsider the
vote by which the Senate amendment in
regard to Portugal, was noheoncurred.
The motion to reconsider, was lsid on the
table
The House considered the Senate bill for
the relief of contractors for building iron
clads in the navy. A substitute sub
mitted by Mr.. Sloan was agreed to, and the
bill passed
The Committee on WAYS and Means was
requested to examine into the expediency
of bringing in bill to establish national
school of science.
The House then went into a committee
Of whole on the tax hill.

An ENORMTTY.

Mr.. sherman, q Senator Of Ohio, and
Radical whose party fealty is unim-
peachable, was the chairman Of the select
committee Of the caucus Of Senators
belonging to that party, to whom was
referred the various propositions relating
to reconstruction ont OF which was
Matched the measure which finally passed
both Houses Of Congress. 1t is to be
presumed that he understood the import
Of the bill, and that his Interpretation of
its text is the true one In the final de
bate in the Senate, he made brief
speech in reply To Mr. Sumner, Of Massa-
chusetts, who objected TO it because it
did not provide for the Acknowledgement
Of Rebels He said we must not seek
to put the white men of the South under
the control Of their late siaves-that no
community, no Legislature, no convention
demanded it-he boldly announced that
no American Congress would be guilty of
such an enormity We give, he said, the
negro the ballot, theschool, the protection
Of the law; but this nation would never
consent to put white men under his domi-
nation
The majorities in the two Houses that
passed the bill ia question clearly an
derstood this to be the meaning of the
law Some Of them, doubtless, would
have preferred the DISTINGUISHING feature;
but the ill, according to Mr. Sherman,
does not contain it That Senator did
himself credit by his outspoken opposi-
ton 10 it; but he erred when he stated
that no Legislature would favor the pc
litical domination of the late slaves
over the white men of the South-the
"enormity which he declared that no
Congress would commit The Tennessee
Legislature, in the furious passion of
Southern Loyalty" and inspired by lust
Of Office and power, has imposed that
enormity upon the white men Of this
State; and their wiseacres glory in the
shame Of the act No Tennessean that
deserves the name, can feel otherwise
than Inundated at the disgrace brought
upon the state by this needless self
abastment Of the supersergiceable " 10y
alists" who make her laws What the
poor, mad fools fondly thought would be
a feather in their cap, is declared to be
an enormity, and rejected as condi-
tion-precedent even for South Carolina
by their party friends in Congress.

said there was not line in il which justi-
fed the assertion. He advocated this bill
too, because it imposed duties on the Pres
ident Of the United States, and he thought
that perhaps some impeachment hunters
would have a chance Of impeaching him if
he did moi perform these duties At least
they would have a chance of finding a new

ST. LOUIS, Feb. pa committee on
behalf of the st. Louis Board Of Trade, con-
sisting Of JAS Eastman and Geo. HOrtridge
have issued an address to Congress on the
subject of relief to the South. After setting
forth the condition of Southern planters
and the distress of the people generally, in
consequence of the failure Of the cotton
and corn crops, and the Importance TO the
nation Of a good cotton crop, the COM
mittee urge Congress TO make an appro-
priation of fifty or one hundred million of
dollars, and limited as to the amount only
by the necessities and wants of the suffer
ing districts for the purpose Of supplying
with provisions all who are engaged in pro-

officers Of the army; the advance thus made
to be collected through the agents of the
government for collecting the revenue tax
on cotton, with proper checks and balances,
such as can readily be established between
the War and Treasury Departments. A
system can be put in operation to continue
for one season which will afford perfect Sc
curity to the government, and which will
give the desired relief. The committee say
this plan will not only relieve the govern
ment of the threatened necessity of feeding
the destitute as an act of charity, bnt will
fully employ the labor in the country to
prevent famine in the land.
