The Northern Paoifio Railroad bill yesterday passed the House without amendments, nnd it now only awaits the signature of the Presi dent to become a law. A special despatch to one of our morning contemporaries states that the defeated minority who opposed it intend to continue their opposition by the unuRual proceeding of appointing a committee to call upon the President and request him to veto it, but a special to another journal de clares that he will promptly sign it. We trust that this prediction will speedily be real ized. The ungracious hostility this project has encountered will serve only to incite its supporters to increased activity, and when the new highway across the continent is completed over a route so rioh in natural re sources, men will look back with amaze ment at the recent efforts of its oppo nents. What the Erie Canal was to New York, or the Main Line to Pennsyl vania, the Northern Pacifio will become to the rich region it traverses, and population will rapidly crowd into the produotive mineral and agricultural districts of Minnesota, Idaho, Montana, and Oregon. Lands that would remain unproductive for many years without its aid will speedily be brought into market, and the very best portion of our trans-Mississippi territory will beoome at once available to emigration and a source of immense national wealth. THE FENIAN DEMONSTRA TION. Unfortunately for the reading publio, spe cial reporters are not in the habit of describ ing in detail all the doings at Donnybrook Fair, but we doubt if they furnish a more curious illustration of the traits of Irish character than some of the incidents of the late Fenian demonstration. Aside from the serious dangers, shameful frauds, and deep feeling which are interwoven with this move ment, the affair is a laughable burlesque, and now since George Francis Train has taken the stump in its support, and a band of Chippewa Indians have been combined with the Irish wearers of the green, more outlandish and ridiculous proceedings may be added to the record of Qeneral O'Neill's arrest. The action f the administration was so prompt and decisive that the Canadians will have little trouble in driving back the straggling parties that may get over the border, and we trust that Great Britain will study and strive hereafter to imitate our new example of the true method of respecting international obligations. Meanwhile it is to be hoped that the Irish-Americans will dis cover a better method of evincing' their at tachment to the old country than the organi zation of these fruitless and unlawful expedi tions. Such failures and suoh wanton waste of time, money, and life will not free Ireland in ten thousand centuries, and they only tend to bring ridicule and reproach upon the Irish character. NATURALIZATION. Yestebdat Senator Conkling reported a bill from the Senate Judiciary Committee to regulate naturalization, whioh appears to be well adapted for the prevention of frauds, and for the protection of legal voters. The bill places the power of granting naturalization papers entirely in the hands of the Cirouit and District Courts and Registers of Bank ruptcy of the United States, andit provides that no one shall be admitted to citizenship who does not swear to having resided four years and six months in the United States and one year within the State or Territory where suoh application is made, and the statement must be supported by the testimony of at least one citizen, and any person may produce adverse evidence and contest the application in open court. The declaration of intention to be come a citizen must be filed at least a year and six months before the formal applioation for naturalization. The naturalization blanks are to be issued by the Secretary of State to the courts, and they are to be so prepared as to guard as much as possible against frauds and counterfeits. Another important provi sion of the bill is that no certificates of naturalization issued since July 4, 18G8, in any city whose population exceeds one hundred thousand, shall be received as evidence of naturalization until it shall have been en dorsed "approved" by the United States Court or Commissioner, with the proper stamp and signature. It is also made the duty of the United States Circuit or District Judge to appoint for each eleotive precinct in A city of over one hundred thousand inhabi tants, two citizens one from each political party to attend at places fixed for the regis ttion of voters, who, being registered, would be entitled to vote for Representatives in Congress, and also to attend at the voting places for the purpose of challenging any votes they may suspect to be fraudulent, and also to assist in the counting of the votes. If this bill is passed, it will do away altogether wifl our present loose way of managing the naturalization of cituens, and will no- only plaoe the whole business in the hauls o the United States courts, where it prop3rly belongs, . but will reduce it to a system and seoure honest voters to a great extent at least against frauds. It is sincerely to be hoped that the bill will receive the early and cmJii consideration oi Congress, and that it r some otUr measure having the Baioe o'j?pt will pass before the adjournment. IDE FRANKING PRIVILEGE. The House of Representatives, in the early part of the session, nnder a pressure of publio opinion, passed a bill to repeal the franking privilege. No one supposed that any of the members, with perhaps one or two honorable exceptions, were willing to forego the advan tages they now enjoy of sending free through the mails not only their letters, speeches, and tons of publio documents, but also their wash clothes and anything else that can be crammed into the mails; but many of the members of the House have hopes of re-election, and public indignation was roused to su"h n pitch on this subjeot that they were forced to make a virtue of necessity and pass the bill, with the hope that it would be killed in the Senate. That the Senate will kill it there is apparently little doubt. It has already been three times reached on the calendar and as many times postponed, and sotae of the Senators have not contented themselves with opposing the measure, but they have heaped abuse upon all who have been active in advocating the repeal of the franking privilege. The secret of this difference between the Senate and the House is that the Senators are in their seats for terms of six years, so that they feel tolerably independent of publio opinion, and they are elected by the State Legislatures, the members of which are generally the last persons likely to call them to account for a matter of this kind. There was a time when the United States Senate was noted both for its dignity and its virtue, but its reputation has sadly degenerated of late, and its conduct with regard to the aboli tion of the franking privilege is one example out of many of the fact that the reputation it has gained of being the most corrupt publio body in the country is not undeserved. The Senate does not intend to pass the bill repealing the franking privilege if it can help it, and there is doubtless much truth in the rumor that the Senators are secretly encouraged in their opposition by a majority of the members of the House, even by those who were most loud-mouthed in their advocacy of the reform If it can be avoided the bill will not even be brought to a vote, but will be smothered to death, and the Treasury will be depleted of millions of dollars to maintain this grand Congressional swindle. Last year the deficiency in the Post Office Department was $55,000,000, and if the franking privilege is continued the amount will certainly not be diminished. It is quite time, therefore, that the Senators as well as the Representa tives were made aware that there is a growing disposition to hold them individually respon sible for the perpetuation of this fraud upon the public, and that their chances of re election will depend upon their action in the matter. Tek Bulgarian Chukch. The Imperial firman for' the emancipation of the Bulgarian Church has been rejected by the Greek patriarch of Constantinople, and the northeastern Correspondence publishes the Note addressed by the Turkish Government to the Patriarch In reply to his despatch on the subject. The Grand lzler ulscassee at great length the argu ments urged by the Patriarch against the measure, lie says that the Imperial Government has always adhered to the rale of not Interfering lu purely spiri tual matters, and that It will continue to do so ; but that the question of the Bulgarian Church has assumed a political character by the circumstance that It had given rise to numerous disputes between the Bulgarian people and the Patriarch, which had made it necessary for the Turkish Government, un der the pressure of complaints from the Patriarch himself, to Interpose its authority In his behalf. This state of things, continues the Note, has now existed for more than ten years, to the detriment of the tranquillity of the country, and compelled the Government to exercise a policy of coerolon and rigor towards a part of the population In opposition to the principle of protection which the Saltan ex tends to all bis subjects In general. It therefore determined, moved by a sentiment of duty, to put an end to the question by an equitable adjustment of the differences between the Bulgarians and the Greek Patriarch. A commission, composed of emi nent men of both parties, was appointed a year ago for this purpose, and the deliberations were based on same suggestions which the Patriarch had previ ously submitted to the Porte. The result of these deliberations was communicated to the Patriarch, who approved most of the recommendations of the commission ; and the Imperial firman agrees in prin ciple with the views and opinions expressed by him on the subject The Note concludes by assuring the Patriarch that, so far as purely spiritual matters are concerned, the Government will abstain from all interference, as heretofore, but that it cannot permit a state of things to continue which disturbs the peace and security of the populations which Inhabit jts territory. Diabolical Botany. It would be thought that'if any branch of science could have less of diabolical character about it than another It would be the science of botany. In this most civilized country, at any rate, botanists enjoy the reputation of being especially Inoffensive folk, and except In the case of some "wise woman" who has won a local fame for charming away burns and warts with her simples, it would be difficult to discover any opening for a charge of dealing with the devil. In Btyria, however, they think otherwise; and, at a place bearing the suggestive name of Culy, the priest has been en lightening his congregation upon the mysterious cause of Professor Unger's death at Grata. lie has asserted In the pulpit that the devil had just claims upon the soul of the murdered botanist, and la order to satisfy them, had found It neceasary to de stroy his life. Of course, after this authoritative declaration, the pursuit of the assassla by the Aus trian police will be abandoned, and the pursuit of science by the Austrian public; but we are carious to learn from what source the Cllly priest derived his information. Roman Remains The excavations that are being wade at Bath, England, for the construction of the new Pump Room Hotel have brought to light some very Interesting Roman remains. The most valuable results are the determination of the south and west limit of the great temple, and the discovery of some ornameutal stone work so similar in details to that which appears upon the temple of Jupiter Stator at Rome as to suggest the probable date of the Bath Temple. The plan of the forum and the course of Its surrounding ways may now be traced with sum cient accuracy to enable the antiquary to construct a tolerably perfect plan of Aquie Bolts, at the time when it was the grant watering-place of Roman Britain. A great many fragments of Oat sheets of oman glass have been found, which bear all the e&rauce of having been rolled or cast. It seems possible to doubt, with this evidence before us, that the Romans employed glass for the purpose of lighting their houses as well as in the construction ol drinking vessels. The Roman glass has a peculiar blue tint and is semi-opaque.

The War Tim Ionarr Fonaht Rnttrt the Power mt Ppnln Trencherona Batchery ef the Opnlrnt Plant rre. Santiago dx Cuba, May 10. There was an engagement near here recently, at Rcmanpana- ?;ua, In which Brigadier Detense was utterly de eated so disastrously as to make it necessary to prevent tne publication ot any intelligence. Although be conceals something of his defeat, be has been obliged to confess that "he never saw nor heard of such determined resistance on the part of undisciplined men again vastly superior forces well disciplined and supplied with artillery." In this action, for such it 48 called here, fran- citco Ilerrora, captain of artillery in the Spanish service, was wounded six times and killed. Of the artillerymen, NOT A BINQLB SOLDIER SURVIVED, and the heavy column of infantry sent in sup- Eort were barely able to save the guns protected y Gasper llerraras, which were brought back to Cuba marked by more than two hundred bullets. At this place there are more than one hundred men hors de combat. The column was compelled to retreat on Santiago de Cuba, its commander, Detcnse, being wouuded. Donalo Marmol commanded the patriots. l he Governor told Mr. Phillips the truth when he said he could not protect him against the volunteers. Ho did not add whether he would protect him if he could, and since the so-called civil war raging in Cuba has been neither more nor less than robbery and plunder, accompanied by afsassinalon when deemed advisable, and the Governor of this city has a large share lu the distribution of the proceeds, it is more than questionable whether he would have interfered ia favor of one who TLVCKILT WROTE THE TRUTH. I speak, of course, only of what I see coins on here. The war may be carried on by the Spaniards in other parts of the island for the legitimate purpose of restoring the dominion of Spain; but I openly assert that In tnU jurisdic tion ot oantiago, ana, irom what l learn from reliable sources, in the adjoining ones of Man- eanillo, llolguin, and Guantanamo, any inten tion of fighting for Spain, either monarchical or republican, never enters the brain of the Spa niards. I speak of officers superior and interior, and of the rank and hie. l atn convinced that were there no coffee, sugar, chocolate, or tobacco crops to seize in fact, NO MONEY TO 11E MADE, not a Spaniard could be induced to leave the cities, or risk exposure to the heat, fevers, pri vations, and hardships which they incur in their forays. i lie last thing they want to meet is a body of Cubans. How can it bo otherwise ? They are ignorant of the country, and when they move from one point to another of the interior, find themselves daily and hourly harassed by an unseen enemy. But the spoils are great, ana the soldiers are the poorest of the poor. Ibis is tho ordinary routine ot the small foraging expeditions. They go out from here say in a body of 200 to 250 men. This place is surrounded by once flourishing sugar, coffee, chocolate ana cattle estates, luo iiody is sub sequently divided into small squads. One of these arrives, soy, at a coffee place. The owner Is at home. He invites the captaiu or lieutenant, as it may be, into the house and entortalus him hospitably. Tho twenty or thirty men of his command find out meanwhile how much coffie the planter has on hand, aud how mucli still remains to be picked. Tho captain inquires whether ho has been annoyed by those robbers and murderers called the Cuban patriots, and on being told by the planter that they have ever been near him, tho latter is at onco ORDERED OUT AND SHOT on the spot. No charge no trial. Tho proof is deemed conclusive that if tho Cubaus have not plundered him the planter must be a sym pathizer. The owner thus disposed of, five or six men are kept on the place to 'see that the coffee is remitted to tho "robbers' cave" In this city, and the highwaymen go- on to the next estate, where a similar scene is enacted. Of course if the planter is absent from his estate no clearer proof could be adduced of his being in the patriot ranks. Thus if he is at home he is Ebot because he has a crop; if absent his crop is seized. In the above I speak only of the spoils cap tured for pro rata division among the men and inferior officers. Valmaseda's raids are on a far larger scale, and he allows no participation. He has dealt only in cattle, and his speculations have been of a nature to make your Western graziers ONASH THEIR TEETH WITH ENVT. Mogotc was not a failure, as has been erro neously stated. It is true tho Spaniards were driven out of it with loss, but the possession of the place was not the object of the apparently idiotic movement. It was a decided success, for Yalmaseda bagged 650 head of cattle. In the neighboring jurisdictions of llolguin, Guan tanamo, and Manzanlllo, his raids have been equally successful. From the last named place his booty has been brought here by sea. no has still on hand considerable herds pasturing on estates near this cltv; but he realizes as fast as possible, and is said by people who should be good judges to hove already netted over 1 500,000 in the business.

General Spear wants the men to return to the Franklin Hue, as their presence there would necessarily draw a portion of the Canadian troops from iluntiugdoa back to that point, and many of the men express an earnest desire to go to Malone, and would' have done so last evening; or this morning, If they had had money enough to pay for their trans portation, but they have not, and are not likely to nave at present.

In btajudgmant every single section af the bill, 23 in number, except one, tba first, section, involved a clear and palpable violation of the fundamental law of the country. He believed than every section save the first was unconstitutional, wrong in principle va demanded by no exit ting state of things In the country, but was con demned by every consideration of juat expediency, and ought not to be enacted into the form of a law. In some sections of the country, if this bill beoaree a law, it would be the source of unbounded trouble, dis turbance, strife, and wrangling, There was no example in the legislative and judicial history of the country for giving to the Federal oouits jurisdiction over Mate elec tions. It was vicious, lawless, and revolutionary, and onght to be rejected with indignation and contempt. Mr. nock protested against allowing a conference oom roittee to legislate on matters that neither house ever considered. . lie called attention to the danger of putting all lejrlrlBtlve power Into the hands of four men selected becanse they were known to be ready to go to any length necessary to carry out such a measure as the pending one. He charged that the Heputillcsn party wss seeking by this bill to overthrow all the rights of the States, setting aside the State courts, destroying their Jurisdiction, subjugating them In every lorm, ana ordering me miiiurv til rutor at Washington to do In all States what he had done in Georgia, set aslfe their Constitutions and Legisla tures, and take military possession of them. Mr ButlertMsss.) said he desired to give the House a piece of Information. That was, tbnt tbe Republicans bad carried tbe city of Kicbmond by four hundred ma jority.

He un derstood very well that the moasure waa directed at the ht.te of New York, and nndomtood the great inducements that existed to deliver over the people of New York to be hsrrataed by unconstitutional laws administered by Federal jndges. Mr. Fox, aa a counterblast to the statement madefby Mr. Butler, of Maaaacbuaetts, stated that the oftioial count of the recent New York election showed a majority of ol.OOu fox tbe Democratic ticket, and he thought the passage of tbe pending bill would increase the majority.

Tho A'eics (liberal) refers to the vigilance of the Canadian Government and the firm attitude taken by tho United States, and the absolute imbecility of the Fenians, to prove that further aggressions on Canada are, if not impossible, at least improbable. The Times again expresses admiration for the loyalty and vigor displayed by Grant, but Is un able, it says, to express indignation at the ob ject for which American and Canadian Loops have been put in motion. It applies to the affair the epithets abominable, pillage, slaughter, outrageous murderers, etc. Mrs. motley, wife of the American Minister, gave a grand dinner last evening, which was largely attended, the Npanlah Cortes.
