important decision by which every
officer in the army in commission be-
tween May l, 1864, and March 8, 1865,

what has already be- paid.
Mr.. Wentworth's investigation is
aimed at those Republicans who have
been engaged in the new movement to
secure the Presidential signature to
good reconstruction bill. 1t will not
embarrass them, as q man Of Went
worth's moral character will be unable
to command the moral sentiment Of the
nation.
Gov. Boutwell, called up, and the
House passed, his bill, which fixes the
order of succession to the Presidency, in
case of a vacancy, as follows After
the Vice President comes the President

and the Associate Justice Oldest in COM
mission.
Mr. Hooper reported the tariff bill
in the House yesterday. 1t contains
higher rates of duties on almost every
article than those of the Senate bill, and
there are indications that several Rep
reseatatives will insist on making long
speeches on it. This will render it i'm
possible to pass the bill before Wednes-
day, and it will consequently be in the
power of the President to pocket it.

The Senate passed the Sherman
substitute for the reconstruction bill
Saturday morning, by the full Republi-
can majority, Mr.. Henderson of Mis-
souri, alone excepted. The House will
take it up at once and send it to the
President, and, though he has promised
to sign q measure like this, it is not be-
leyed that he will do so, but will cheat
those who have listened to him. In two
os three days after it is sent to him he
will return it to Congrnss, with the
statement that he approves of all but
the military part of it, and tha5 he will
return it for the pnrpose of giving Con-
! gress ample time to pass it over the
veto. 1t is reported that he says that he
will execute the law promptly and
thoroughly, throwing The responsibility
upon Congress. If he will carry out
this programme heartily, the impeach-
ment project will fail.

SURRATT.- No information has yet
been received at the Navy Department
from the steamer Swatara with Surratt,
the conspirator, on board. 1t will be re-
membered that the Swatara sailed for
home on the 4th Of January, and it was
then thought that she would reach here
by the lst of February if she should
make the trip under steam. The Wash
ington Star says that the cause of her
non-arrival is that it was necessary for
her to come a great portion Of the dis
tance under sail. Being third-rate
steamer, she can carry but a small guam
tity Of coal, and her commander not
wishing to stop at any ports, it is very
probable that he uses sail whenever the
weather permits. 1t may be week or
two yet before her arrival. As before
stated, She will come Immediately to the
Washington Navy Yard, should the
river permit, and the prisoner will be
handed over to Marshal GoodiDg for
safe keeping until the trial. 1t is not
improbable that the Swatara may be
used for the prison-ship should the jail
not be deemed sufficiently secure.

The FBNIAN OUTBRBAK.-The Fenian
uprising in Ireland cannot amount to
anything and indeed it seems to have
been nearly put down already, after a
brief day of riot and outrage in Killar-
ney. But the news Of the rising has
been sufficient to fire anew the Fenian
heart here, and there is great excitement
among the members Of the brotherhood
at New York and elsewhere. John H.
Gleason, who took the place of Stephens
as central organizer, few weeks ago,
has issued an order that the various Fe-
nian circles hold public meetings as
soon as possible to devise means to CO.
operate with the revolutionists, and in
order to get up as much enthusiasm as
possible, the leaders say the two vessels
which were reported on the coast Of Ire
land were sent from this country, where
the organization under Stephens was
most severely denounced, and they also
assert that Stephens is in Ireland at the
head of three hundred officers, nearly all
of them from this country. There is
probably a very small modiCum OF truth
in these reports but no matter for that
if they only have the eject TO get the
"funds' flowing in again, which is
what the leaders seem to care the most
about.
OF the Irish county OF Kerry, where
the rising took place, we find the follow
ing brief Typographical and historical
| description;
The rising has taken place in rug
ged, mountainous country, the county of
| Kerry, where the peasantry familiar
with every foot Of territory, could easily
| evade and bid defiance to a considerable
! body of troops. The shannon river on
/ the north and the Atlantic on the west
render it accessible to aid from the
! ocean, and it is a significant fact that
! for months past it has been rumOred
| that native pilots from the Shannon
/ have been in this country in the pay OF
the Feuians. The SlievenamOU and Gal
tees mountains are full Of historic in
terest. 1t was along this range that the
Earl OF Essex, with thirty thousand
troops, suffered defeat in 1899, the spot
where the battle was fought being known
as the Pass of Plumes, from tie number
of British cavalrymen who fell in the
strife. The Slievenamon hills were the
scence of Smith 0'Brien's rising in 184S.
Kerry is a maratime county in the south
west of Ireland, with the estuary Of the
Shannon river as its northern boundary
the Atlantic ocean on its western edge,
and the counties of Limerick and Cork
forming its southern and eastern bound.
ary. It's population is about two hun
dred thousand persons, a large proper
ton of whom speak only the Irish
tongue. This region is extremely wild
rugged and mountainous. The town o
Killarney, where the ''rising" is said tt
have taken place, is situated near th'
center of the county Kerry on tht
famous lake of the same name. 1t ha:
q population of some SIX or seven thou
sand. Kenmare is another town in th'
county Kerry, situated on the high roac
from Cork to Cahirciveen, near to III
residence of the late Danniel OConnell
It lies in very isolated district at th
head of Kenmare bay, and has coaven
lent harbor and pier. 1t is approach
able from the ocean by vessels Of heav
| burden.
