THE RELEASE OF GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN,
A cable dispatch published yesterday an
nounced that George Francis Train, ar
rested at Queenstown, Ireland, on suspi-
cion of being connected with the Fenians.
had been released by the British authori-
ties, and that he had entered suit for
100000 damages for illegal arrest. A
special London dispatch to the New York
papers says:
The causes leading to his arrest are
these An Englishman named Gee, fel.
low-passeDger of Mr.. Train, informed the
officers on the tug which boarded the Sco-
tia at Queenstown that Train had said he
came to Ireland for the purpose Of organi-
zing the Fenians and commencing fight.
Mr.. Train was arrested upon this informa-
ton. Gee denied that he had given such
information when he was in court.
Mr.. Eastman, United States Consul at
Queenstown, was exceedingly active in
Mr.. Trains behalf. Mr.. Adams, United
States Minister here, at once saw Lord
Stanley, who, on his representation, or.
dered the release of Mr.. Train. Lord
Stanley disavowed the act on the part o.
the Government, and stated that the loca
authorities were solely responsible for it
Mr.. Adams's prompt action secured mr.
Trains speedy release.

The MILITARY DICTATORSHIP BILL
| What is called an amendment to the recon
struction acts, but what may be more cor
rectly described as the bill establishing q
military dictatorship in the southern States,
passed the House Of Representatives on
Tuesday by an overwhelming vote. The
New York Times, a Republican journal,
thus expresses its views Of this extraordl-
nary measure ..-....-
We confess our inability to comprehend
the reasoning by which measure subver-
sive of all liberty can be twisted into a
measure for placing beyond jeopardy the
life of the republic. Mr.. Bingham's ornate
rhetoric may command the "rapt atten-
ton" of his hearers, as the reporter as
serts, but we do not see how it could in
fuence the Judgment Of any man who dis
tinguishes between fine phrases and the
stern logic of facts. We know the pretext
on which the President is set aside and
General Grant invested with more than
regal authority, but the mere use of terms
does not satisfy us that the right Of Con-
gress to do this, and much more of the
same sort, is derived from its obligation to
guarantee republican form of govern
ment to the respective States.
The sound may have been delightful
when Mr.. Bingham referred to the trainers
of the Constitution as "those mighty men
whom God taught to live for glory and
beauty" but the veneration would be
more practicalif it took the shape of re-
construction in accordance with the princl.
pies they laid down. The overthrow OF
civil government in ten States, and the
creation Of dictatorship with soldier
as its occupant, scarcely harmonic With
these principles. The fathers, too, were
more tolerant in their Interpretation Of
what constitutes republican form of 60
yernment. They furnished no precedent
for the absolutism by which Mr.. Bingham
would force upon States the views of a
congressional majority without regard for
the will, the opinions, or the interests OF
their white population.
The same want of bottom is traceabie
in all the arguments delivered in support
of the bill. They were all either rhapso'
dies, signifying little, or unblushing de-
fences Of a policy which puts no. limit to
legislative usurpation. ;,
How the measure will fare in the Senate
we shall probably soon know. we dare
not hope that. the reputed moderation OF
that body will 80 far prevail as to modify
provisions so palpably at variance with tne
principles of Republicanism and the &C
knowlsdged platforms of the hepnDhcan
party.=The zeal of partisanshlp Tor =tne
time outruns prudence, and drives patrlot
ism into the background.

of Trumbull's opposition, and should Ere

Jersey, he will likewise endeavor to ward
off this blow aimed at the Supreme Court
This would give, with Senators johnson

The question has arisen in several Of the
