New YORK, Feb. 2O.-The Fenian ex-
citement in this city is shaping into serious
action. The discouraging cable kilograms
were disbelieYed and volunteering was
brisk. Bryonborn, st. Lawrence, O'Toole,
Lara, and other circles, held enthusiastic
meetings during the evening. Mayor
| Huffman being invited to address a Fenian
meeting, he declined in a way that showed
he did not approve of such demonstrations.
The depot of the Morris and Essex rail
road at Drake5yille, n. j., burned yester-
| day morning early. The agent, of the COM
pany, Mr.. Frances Bryan and his WIFE who
slept in the building narrowly escaped
with their lives. Two of their daughters
were seriously burned. Nothing in the
/ building was saved.
The Herald's Richmond correspondent
says, a man named Massey was attacked by
gang of ex-Rebels, under the leadership
| of a sheriff, named Davis, at Waynesyille,
n. c., recently. He was fired upon forty
times without injury and returned the fire,
injuring a man named Underwood. He
then escaped, but the sheriff will call out
the county to take him. Massey was en-
gagged during the war in passing recruits
through the lines to the Union army, and
stands indicted for that ofense. This was
the cause of the attack.
The Tribune's special says, the Senate
Finance Committee, to-day had under con-
sideration quite a number of nominations
of Revenue officers, Collectors and Assessors
from New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio
Nearly all of them will be reported back
adversely, which is a virtual rejection.
The Senate Military Committee have
had under consideration quite number Of
nominations, and have passed thus far but
very few. The chances are that large
number Of them will be rejected. The
committee are instituting rigid inquiry into
the character of those named by the Presi-
dent againstthe wishes Of Secretary Stanton,
and unless their record is good they will
be rejected
There is no probability anything will be
done with the proposition which was re-
ferred to the Ways and Means Committee
for report of bill, providing that there
shall be no further reduction during the
present year Of the four millions per month
At a meeting of the Southern Republi-
can Association, held in Washington on
Monday evening the following resolution
was offered by Governor Hamilton, of
Texas, and was adopted:
Resolved, That in any action of the |
Congress of the United States touching the
condition of the States lately in rebellion, |
il is essentially necessary, for the protection |
of the lives and property ofloyal men, and |
the erection of loyal governments in those |
States, that the present existing govern |
ments be abrogated, the loyal men Of ali |
races be enfranchised, and al least a portion |
of the Rebels DISTINGUISHED and the or
ganization of legitimate governments con- |
fined to loyal hands, they, therefore, re- |
spectfully but earnestly ask Congress to |
apply the bill known as the Louisiana |
bill, reported by Mr.. Elliott, of the House |
of Representative, TO all the Instruction |
airy States not now represented IN Congress; |
and we do disapproye Of the bill now
pending before the House, known as the |
military bill, as passed by the Senate.
At meeting of the Cabinet to-day, the |
Postmaster General remained in confer
ence with the President for some time after |
the departure of the other members, and |
when he came out he did not look like an |
Official who is threatened with decapitation. |
