From New York.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-The news from
Ireland has caused much excitement in
Fenian circles here and in Brooklyn.
The Worlds Washington special
says it is learned from the Republican
Congressman, who had conference
last night with the President, that the
latter seems inclined to favor the Blair
amendment, as compromise between
the Executive and Congress, on the re-
construction plan, but with the modi-
fcation that it shall demand impartial
suffrage from the South in place of
universal suffrage.
Henry st. Marie, the witness by
whose evidence the identification of
Surratt, the alleged accomplish of
Booth, Altered and Paine was detected
arrived at this port yesterday, in the
steamer st. Lawrence and went direct
to Washington by the evening train.
The Times speciak saws: William
Weinstreet is the stenographer charged
with selling the testimony of the New
York Custom House investigation to
outside parties, and to COLLECTOR Smythe
particularly. He is under arrest. He
says Smythe paid him % or 40 cents per
page. Among the evidence thus stolen,
is that of Mr.. Brown, collector Smythe's
private Secretary. The testimony Sc
cured in the case has caused much ex-
element among certain parties, some
of whom threaten Mr.. Hurlburt, the
chairman, with political slaughter.
The Ways and Means Committee
have finished the drug section in the
tariff bill; without material change, as
it came from the Senate.
The Tribune's special says: There are
yet hopes that a compromise between
the President and Congress will be eff
fected.
The tariff bill will not be ready to re-
port before Monday next.
The loan bill. will not be considered
in Committee until the middle of next
week.
The grounds on which the United
States basis its demand on the chancery
court of Great Britain for the restora-
ton of the cotton held by Trenholm
and the rebel agents in England, are in
effect that our condscation laws apply
to all from the country or not; that by
the law of nations rebels can't trans
fer to others property belonging to the
legitimate sovereign, and that If even
such power existed the complete sup
preston of the rebellion, the annulling
by rebel States of all their pretended
contracts, restores to the United States,
as the only possible owner, all property
in dispute.
Edward wylan, the defaulting clerk
of the shops of the New York and Erie
Railroad Company states that his de-
| falcation will be found to amount TO
more than 81, 900. He was tool of IA
ring formed by the employees of the
company
NEW YORK, Feb. T7.-Further heavy

HOUSE.

The Senate's amendment to the In
valid pension bill was concurred in.
Mr.. Wentworth submitted as IA ques-
ton of privilege, involving, as he said,
the honor, purity and independence of
the House, a long preamble and reso-
luton, reciting that it has been for
sometime rumOred, and has at length
been asserted in the public newspapers,
that certain members have been hold
ing private meetings, with the view to
corrupt bargains, pledging themselves
to act adversely to the report of the Ju-
dietary Committee on the question of
impeachment, if untavOrable to the
President. Also to act adversely to GER
tain other measures pending before the
House, to which they had been hitherto
favorable, providing the President do
certain things to which he has hitherto
declared himself hostile, and
things which he has hitherto de-
clared himself favorable, and instruct
ing the Judiciary Committee to
inquire into the fact whether such meet
ing had taken place, and such corrupt
bargains had been made; whether
persons have carried on communication
from such members to the President,
and from the President to them; the
nature of the communication, etc. to
report such resolutions for the action of
the House, as the committee may deem
necessary for the preservation of its
honor and Independence.
Mr.. Wentworth moved the previous
question.
Mr.. Eldridge wanted the resolution
amended so as to direct enquiry as to
whether members of the other side had
not been holding meetings for corrupt
purposes, and had not with corrupt OBJ
jects determined to impeach the Presi-
dent.
Mr.. Wentworth insisted on the previ-
Gus question, and the House seconded
and adopted il.
Subsequently there was vote taken
on the resolution, and it was referred
to a select committee of three.
Recess till evening.
