Three Of the Eastern States will hold their
regular annual elections during the next three
weeks. The election in New Hampshire will
take place tomorrow; but as the result seems
to be foregone conclusion very little interest
has arisen in relation to it. A republican Gov
ernor will be again chosen, and three republi-
can members of Congress will no doubt be
returned. The people of Connecticut will
vote on the first day of April for Governor
and four members of Congress. In the
latter State the excitement runs high,
partly in consequence Of the even
strength Of the parties, and more particularly
because Governor Hawley, the republican oan-
didate for Governor, has been saddled with the
great humbug who is running in the Fourth
district for Congress. 1t is barely possible that
the Snowman may succeed in humbugging the
voters of his district, as he is now trying to
do, into the belief that he is the proper person
to represent them at Washington; but his
nomination has had damaging effect In the
other parts of the State, and Governor Hawley's
chances of election are now considered very
slim. Two days afterwards-the 3d-the little
State OF Rhode Island will hold her annual
elections, but like in New Hampshire, the
voting will be merely matter of form, all The
republican candidates being sure Of success.

a ParsoM Brewnlew In Ireland,

The Catholic clergy used to be considered
the great enemies of English rule and the chief
obstacle to Improvement in Ireland. That
they are determined to vindicate themselves
against the first Of these charges may be seen
from the language which they employ in
denouncing the Fenian movement Here is
one pulpit drum ecclesiastic-Dr. Moriartv.
Bishop Of Kerry-who speaks out his mind
with aerceness and energy that have not been
equalled by any modern ranter, with perhaps
the exception Of our own Parson Bronlow:-

We are not surprised to find 1t added that

do not mistake the new phase Of the Irish

: AT certain seasons the vocal warblers that
make the air pleasant with their music migrate
and return, according to the more or less prom
ising condition OF the atmosphere. II 1t be
warm and encouraging they come back to us in
swarr,s, If the contrary they seek more genial
regions For the last few years there has been
observable marked falling of in the number
and quality Of these vocal visitors. But few
have taken fight in this direction. Those that
did were in general birds of Indifferent plu-
mage and small pipe They contributed rather
to make up the winter Of our discomfort than
the summer Of our rejoicing. This year there
Is prospect OF better state Of things. Ac-
cording to all appearances we shall have q
more than usually large migration to our
shores of our quondam favoritea Alter
winter of such severity the coming season
cannot bu: prove propitious to the delicate and
highly gifted organs that used to delight us.
Oi the return of one, and that the most highly
priced, we have the assurance. The Patti bird
genus AdeIina) will, it is stated, shortly return
here in finer voice and fuller feather than ever.
In addition to the qualification which this an
nouncement will create, we may further men
tion that that great bird fancier and trainer,
Strakosch, proposes to bring over with him a
number OF new songsters, all rare ones of their
kind, whom he has picked up in his travels
through Europe, and whom, contrary to the
usual practice, he intends to debm here. This
is consistent with the patriotic impulses Of
Strakosch. He thinks first of his country and
then of himself In view of this promised in
fux of songsters we would recommend the pro-
prietors Of the new gilt cage in Fourteenth
street to make no disposition of 1t that will in
terfere with their reception. If they can man.
age to trap them they can turn their visit to as
profitable an account as their managers did
those Of jenny Lind and Sontag.

The case of this gentleman, who has re-
Gently been convicted Of treason felony in
Ireland, presents some curious features, which
may probably arrest the attention Of our gov
ernment. Mr.. Meany is an American citizen,
and II he has been unjustly dealt with, as
alleged, his case may become subject Of in
reference by the State Department The
crimes with which he was charged were COM
mitted in New York-namely, making q
speech at Clinton Hall and offering Fenian
bonds for sale. These are certainly not crimes
in this country, and when the Attorney Gene
raj, who conducted the prosecution, admitted
that no overt acts in the United Kingdom
were proven or even alleged against Mr.
Meany, we are not surprised to find Baron
Hughes deciding that acts and words done and
spoken in New York were not crimes in Great
Britain and Ireland, and declining to sentence
the prisoner. If the Judge had ruled otherwise
what would become Of our boasted freedom OF
speechs Mr.. Meany, however, is still in prison,
awaiting the decision of the Court in Error,
before which these points, as well as the fact
that he was arrested in London and carried
over to Dublin for trial, in violation of the
Habeas Corpus act, will be argued. If the
ruling of Baron Hughes is set aside the pris-
oner will be condemned to penal servitude-
punishment worse than death-for q long
period Of years. 1t was claimed in Mr..
Meany's defence that he had no connection
with or knowledge of any overt acts of treason
in Ireland, nor were any proven. He was
tried and convicted for words spoken in this
city. If the Court in Error should reverse the
judgment of the court below it becomes o
question whether the prisoner must not be re-
| garded as . citizen of the United States who
has been seriously abused, and become sub.
| ject for the interference Of our government.

which the forthcoming military commander
over Louisiana aad Texas will most likely
have to settle.
Looking over the whole field, the idea is
entertained in Washington by intelligent par
ties that all the excluded States, from present
indications, win be reinstated in both houses
of Congress by the lst Of January next which
will give them abundant time to organize and
shape their respective courses in regard to the
coming Presidential election. On Saturday
night last, however, on the occasion of
complimentary serenade, the new Senator,
Morton. late Governor Of Indiana, said that
there might be delays in reconstruction; but
he anticipated that in two years the South
would be admitted to all its rights" In other
words, Senator Morton thinks this great con-
summation will hardly be reached till after
the Presidential contest Of 1868; but If the
States concerned, each and all. proceed
actively to the work in meeting, in 1867, the
terms of reconstruction laid down, the domi-
nant party viii be compelled by Northern
public opinion to open the doors and let them
in. From every point of view and In any
event the industrial, financial, social and
political interests of the excluded States invite
them to the speediest possible fulflment OF
the terms Of Congress.

tney separate this session without doing some
tning for the protection Of the dwellers
In these tenement dens There is nothing
that more pressingly calls for legislation, and
tnat OF the severest kind. The large profits
made out Of tenants Of this class will justify .
broad margin Of interference. The present
system Of converting any sort of building
into tenement house without regard to it's
adaptability for such purpose should no
longer be permitted. Spectators in such
property should be compelled to follow certain
fixed rules Of construction and interior ar
rangement. Perfect ventilation, well protected
drainage and an abundant water supply should
be three indispensable conditions. In no case
should there be allowed such an extension of
buildings at the rear rs would be likely to in
terfere with them. Not less necessary are pro-
visions compelling the introduction Of stone
staircases in the interiors Of all such buildings
and the addition Of outside balconies OF iron
and fire escapes on each story.
