EadieS.3


ssLadieS.3
New YORK, April 19.-The courtroom
this morning was crowded as usual, with
large number Of ladies occupying seats
within the railing, in a good position to
hear the evidence, which is now about to
become interesting. The insanity plea is
given up for while, and testimony to the
connection of Richardson with Mrs. Nc
Farland is to be adduced. This no doubt
caused the additional number Of ladies
present.
Arrival of BurIingame's Remains.
The steamer Silesia arrived to-day, and
brought the remains of Arson Burlingame
in charge of his eldest son. The Chamber
of Commerce appointed a committee of
the most prominent citizens to escort the
body from Hoboken to Boston by boat. A
similar committee was appointed by the
Union League Club, while still another
committee is here from Boston to accom-
pany the remains there. The body will
probably be removed tomorrow. The re-
mains of Mr.. Burlingame were placed
aboard the Silesia at Hamburg with almost
the entire absence of ceremony; even the
passengers were unaware Of the presence
of the illustrious dead. Flags were lowered
at half mast, and remained so until the ar
rival of the vessel at the quarantine.

THE FENIAN WAR.
o,Nein VERSUS savage.

New York, April 19.-The Fenian Con-
gress, O'Neill faction, met at Masonic Hall,
on 18th street. The O'Neill party denounce
| the Savage party as impostors, and ridi-
cule the do-nothing Congress at Chicago
last week. 1t is claimed by Gen. O'Neill that
the Chicago Congress had no power what
ever 10 establish an Executive Committee,
and that all its proceedings are void and
worthless. The delegates from the Con-
gress in Chicago will, however, be received
to-day on exhibiting their credentials.
9 Earnest Work Ahead.
Private circulars issued by Gen. O'Neill
to'the Circles, as President of the Brother
hood, distinctly instructs each Circle to
send no money to headquarters until after
Congress, but 70 send with each delegate
to the Congress sufficient funds to furnish
from one thousand to two thousand rounds
Of breech-loading ammunition. valued at
S2S per thousand. This, taken in connec-
ton with other facts, is extremely signii-
cant of an intended movement Over $50
delegates are expected TO attend the Con-
gress. The proceedings will be held with
closed doors, and every effort made to Sc
cure secrecy.
ON 30 Winnepeg.
1t is stated that Gen. ONeill's emissary
has been acting in concert with the Fort
Gary insurgents during the last two
months, and there is no doubt but that the
sympathy of the entire Fenian organiza-
ton is with Refill and his followers. 0Neill
openly avows sympathy with Refill, and
says be will aid him when he can.
10000 stand of Arms Ready.
1t is stated that 10000 stand of arms,
with ample ammunition, have been already
secured in Boston and New Orleans. 1t is
asserted that other heavy purchases have

Part of these arms have been distributed |
in towns along the Vermont border, and |
another and larger portion was shipped
by Chicago few days ago tosome point on |
the northwestern frontier of Canada in the |
vicinity of the Red River Territory.
The Proposed Campaign.
The proposed campaign, from what can be |
learned of it, embraces not only an invasion /
of Canada at point between Toronto and |
near the latter city, but also SIM |
an expedition to join Reill's /
forces and act in the Northwestern terri |
tory.
kilograms are coming to this city from /
Chicago and st. Paul, MINI, stating that |
supplies and ammunition are being forward /

DOLING OUT PARDONS.

FROM the New 1Ork Express.
II is considerably over five years since
the Southern armies surrendered, and
Congress is still doing out pardOns in
separate bills to the few, instead of grant
ing general amnesty, as it might do, OF as
the President might do, if he would, to
the many. What is done at all is done
grudgingly, and with a special display of
malice towards those who, in mistaken
hour, took up arms against the Govern
ment. Even after putting ballot and
musket into the hands of every male ne
gro above twenty-one, over $50, 600 white
men-thousands of them three or four
score years old-are not permitted to vote,
even for q constable, or a rOad-master.
Where is that sense of manly generosity
which ought to rise above party and scOrn
injustice which usually governs men of
real patriotism and true refinement of
characters Men who pray Heaven
daily to pardon their own sins and crimes,
are not willing to do for a white man
what they have done for the negro.
Wendell Phillips appeared here last
week, and last night at Boston, exhorting
the negro with all his heated eloquence
never to forget the old master, or those
who opposed the mingling of races in the
government of a great republic. And all
this in the name of almighty God"
We can forgive Phillips; for hatred, NAL
ice, and Observation-Disclosures is his second
nature-but for statesmen, Christians
and American citizens, who look TO the
future, and for all who pray God for
mercy, to persist in these animositics, is
almost beyond human prehensiOn.
Even the negroes of the South, left to
their own unbiased good nature, would
grant amnesty to the whites among them
but Congress doles out its pardons
score by score, and one by one, as a mi
ser doles out his ducats. If ever power
and despotism were made to appear con-
temptihle, it is when, more than five
years after peace and complete surrender,
we see the two-fOld injustice of not only
discriminating against ones own blood
and race, but rejoicing in the punishment
which power can infict. The negroes
are everywhere jubilant over freedom,
while quarter of million of white peO-
pie remain practically enslavcd.
