GEN BLAIR AND THE FENIANs.


The New York Herald, which is now
pretending to be a Radical paper, has, in
its columns of last Wednesday, an article
on the proceedings of the National Com
ventiOn, in which it says: .. G. '
1t was expected by many that the half
vote given for Blair on the first ballot and
the scattering votes cast for him at later
period Of the proceedings settled the ques-
ton 80 far as the General was concerned !;
but inquiry at the Worth House and at
other places, where Blair men congregate,
showed that such was not the case. Dele
gates known to be pledged to support him,
laughed when asked the meaning of their
inaction yesterday, and asked that judg-
ment on their conduct might be suspended
for a few days. They expressed the same
confidence in the result Of their labors
and displayed the same quiet determina-
ton in their cause which has characterized
them since Blair's name was mentioned in
connection with the Presidency. s ..
A strong delegation of Irishmen, leaders
of the New York Fenians and officers of
the Brotherhood, met at a late hour last
night and resolved TO present 10 the New
York delegation this morning at 10 o'clock
an ultimatum, which they fattered them
selves will have the effect Of securing the
nomination for Gen. Blair. They propose
to tell the New York ring that Blair, hay
ing given satisfactory proofs of his willing
ness to bring the Alabama claims and the
naturalization question to a satisfactory
settlement if elected to the Presidency,
they must either vote for him in the con-
vention to-day or be prepared to meet
arrayed against the Democracy at the poles
whole battalions of voting Fenians. They
will declare their determination to prevent
the election to State and municipal officers
of every New York politician, at least, who
cannot show that he has given hearty sup
| port to their favorite candidate. Should
Gen. Blair be rejected in the convention,
the Fenian Brotherhood all over the Union
will cast solid vote for Grant

The breach between Austria and the
Holy See is widening When the HgOdN
less laws" which struck at the root Of
the Concordat were proposed, the remOn.
strances Of the eccles;asties were loud
and fierce, and when they were passed,
the Emperor attempted to avert their
wrath and that of the Pope by adopting
deprecatory tone as to his own share
in the matter, assuring his Holiness that
resistance would have cost him his
throne. As was anticipated, says the
New York Times, this admission by
Francis Joseph that his subjects poss
sessed the right to constitutional regula-
ton Of their own affairs, without regard
to the external authority of the Pope,
and that his duty simply was to carry out
their will, even when it FLASHED with that
authority, opened the eys of the clergy
to the fact that their power was swiftly
and irrevocably passing away. They
say that the. movement in Austria
was no mere temporary popular ebullitiOn
that priestly craft could assuage or con-
troll. They saw that the Emperor, hith-
ertO their trusted ally, had entered on
the duties of constitutional monarch in
good faith, and was neither able nor
willing to help them to eyade the ex>
pressed viii of the people. They be.
came blindly furious, and after they had
still further weakened their influence in
the Empire by wild and incorporate
denunciations, the Pope came to their
aid with an allOcution, cOuched in the
style usual in such cases. But both he
and the Austrian clergy had gone too
far Hatred of foreign influence had
reused still further the determination Of
the Austrian people to exert their own
constitutional rights, in the face of all
attempts to hinder them, and as in the
case Of other nations before them, the
futile attempts of the Papacy to over
awe them only served to ex,
cite their spirit of independence.
This time, instead of being an apologize
letter from the Emeror, the Austrian re-
ply takes the form Of a vigorous note
from Baron Won Beust in which, speak
ing as a responsible Minister in tie
name of the people, he plainly tells the
Pope that intermeddling with the do
mestic legislation of Austria, such as
that attempted in the allocution, is vio-
lation of the independence and dignity
of the Empire. This is a clear and un-
mistakable enunciation of very import
ant principle-one which the Papacy
has often been before compelled with bit
terness to see other nations adopt, but
which has taken root in Austria with a
rapidly only to be accounted for by the
violence of the natural revulsiOn from
the bondage Of that COncordat which, it
was fondly hoped, was to enslave the
minds of the Austrian people beyond
hope of liberation But the Austrians
have now taken the matter into their own
hands, and thanks to their present form
of government can announce their de-
termination with no feeble or uncertain
voice. . ..E ..

the Emerald Isle and the Resolute-for
passengers, the first 20 sail on the goth last.
and the latter on the oath inst. The Eme-
raid Isle Will be filled with passengers from
Scandinavia. The price of passages on
steam vessels was very high--too high to
admit of many of the people coming who
were anxious to immigTate, and who could
come on sailing vessels Owners Of steam
vessels have entered into a combination,
and have made it severely penal to depart
from its rigid rules, one OF which is that
they will not carry passengers at any time
OF the year for less than the sum they have
agreed upon, even though their vessels have

CINCINNATI, April 80, 1865.
An important case, involving the legality OF traffic
in the South during the rebellion was decided by
the Superior Court of this city to-day 1t appears
that J. w. Turner a planter of Louisiana, left his
property in charge of q man named Poigntell, and
went to France, where he remained during the re-
bellion lIe however gave no Instructions to his
agent as to what course he should pursue in the
management of the plantation, and Poigntell, in
1864, sold the cotton crop of that year to j. NJ.
Howarth, of this city. Before the crop was gathered
Mr.. Turner returned ana Immediately repudiated the
contract, alleging as reason for so doing that he
had never vested POigntell with authority to make
such contracts and, in addition, that the contract
itself violation of the law OF Congress prohibit
ing traic with the people Of the rebel States. Mr..
HOwarth thereupOn brought suit against him for
