GENERAL BUTLERS FENLAN RE-
SOLUTION.

TIE National House of Representatives
yesterday stultifed itself by passing a. joint
resolution extending to the Fenian exiles a
cordial Welcome to the country, and inviting
them to the capital. The resolution also
contains proviso that the President shall
transmit copy of the same to ODonsvan
Rossa and his associates. This precious piece
of demagogism actually passed the House by
o vote of 172 ayes to 21 noes, and, as a
''cheap and nasty attempt to win the Irish
VOTE it is certainly almost without a parallel
in the history of party politics. That the
Senate will follow the example of the House
and concur in the resolution we certainly do
not expect; but if enough Senators do SO far
forget their dignity, the President will surely
not disgrace himself and his Office
by sending such a precious document
to Mr. Rosa and his associates. In fact,
it is not probable that General Butler has
any expectation that the resolution will go
any further, and he has accomplished his
object in securing its passage by the House
of Representatives. 1t is intended as an in
suit to the British Government and people,
no less than as an attempt to win Irish votes
for the Republican party. That it will &C
oomplish anything in this last direction Gene
raj Butler ought to be too shrewd politician
to expect, and the only effect the resolution
oan possibly have will be to embarrass Minis
ter Schenck in the conduct of the negotia
tions for the settlement of the Alabama
claims. The English rule in Ireland has been
utterly disgraceful, we admit, and we have
sympathy for the objects Rossa
and his associates had \ in view
in exciting rebellion in Ireland,
while we have a very small opinion of the
manner in which they went to work to secure
Irish freedom. In fact, the discredit that
attaches to Irish agtation for independence
is due almost entirely to the Irish themselves,
for there has not been a single attempt in
this direction that has been conducted in
such a manner as to secure the respect of
mankind. The abstract rights or wrongs of
Irish attacks on British authority, however,
do not come under the jurisdiction of the
United States House of Representatives,
whatever the opinions of the individual men,
bers may be; and it is simply disgraceful to
the people of the United States that Congress,
or either branch of it, should deliberately
insult q nation with whom we are on terms of
amity, and with whom we are at this moment
engaged in conducting diplomatic negotia-
tions of no little difficulty.

a SMALL MATTER OF RELIGION
ND POI TTTTG

dND IOLLIICO.
A PETITION signed by thirty-fve Presbyterian
and Methodist clergymen of New York and
Brooklyn has been sent to the President
asking for the removal of Collector Murphy,
of the port of New York, on the ground that
he is Catholic, and suggesting Mr.. Silas H.
butcher as proper person to succeed him.
This is certainly combining politics and rel-
gion with vengeance, but really the thirty
five clerical gentlemen can find an excuse for
this otherwise rather impertinent petition in
the fact that Mr. Murphy was made Collector
of the Port of New York by President Grant
for no other reasons than that he was an
Irishman and a Catholic. If a man is
appointed to Office because he processes a
certain religious faith, those who hold oppo-
site beliefs in regard to the best manner of
securing eternal felicity beyond the grave
can scarcely be censured for endeavoring to
GUST him on purely religious grounds. This
man Murphy is notoriously an unfit person to
fill any Office of trust or profit, and yet the
President gave him one of the richest offices
under the Government with the expectation
that as he was an Irish Catholic, he would be
able to do something for the Republican
this direction resulted in large augmenta-
tion of the Democratic majority at the last
election, and he can therefore scarcely be
considered success. The appointment of
Murphy was blunder of the worst kind, but
his removal at the petition of the Presbyterian
and Methodist clergymen aforesaid would do
the President more diseredit than his origi-
nal error. The religion and nationality
of Mr.. butcher are not stated,
but we presume as Murphy is an Irishman
and Catholic, butcher must be Dutchman
and Protestant. The fact that the Metho-
dists and Presbyterians have united in re-
commencing him suggests the idea that his
Professionalism must be of a somewhat mixed
character, for if he has succeeded in recon-
CLING Arminianism and Calvinism in his
conscience, the best thing his friends can do
is to keep him out of the New York Custom
House, for, from all accounts, it is not good
place for a man of heterogeneous reli-
gious views, and it is not impossible
that Mr.. butcher might play 'high Dutch"
with the revenue. If the President can find
a capable and honest man to succeed Mr..
Murphy, he should appoint him without regard
to his religious opinions; for so long as the
revenues are collected honestly, and the
affairs of the Custom House generally admin
istered in a satisfactory manner, the people
of the United States will not trouble them
selves to inquire whether the Collector is
Catholic or Jew, an Episcopalian, Presby-
terian, a Unitarian, Methodist, or member
of any religious denomination whatever.

The CITY IoE-BoATs are fortunately in good
working order this winter, and they have
kept the harbor open in spite of the severe
cold weather. One of the reporters who
went down the river yesterday afirms that
''the great and irresistible No. grandly
smashes the heaviest ice which stubborn
and rebellious tides can pile on the much
abused Horseshoe, with as much ease as a
hammer would crush an egg-shell." Some
thing should be done for the improvement of
the harbor in that region, nevertheless, and
Congress could well afford to expend a small
portion of the inquisitorial income-tax filched
from our citizens for that purpose.
