IE:LM(fflRAPW0 THE FENIANS Ninth and Last Day's Proceedings of the Convention-Central Coun cil of Five and Treasurer Ap-pointed-Convention Ad journed Sine Die. The Kenlan Convent'cn Ins at length closed its deliberations, after a sesmon of nine days, has finally dieoarded the inrrical semblance of an Irish republic in America. Its tirttt grct mistake was in establishing ouc. A republic lor Ireland In America that in, a republic within a republic was too nonsensical not 1o call down the censure of nil thinking men. Tbo farce Is played out, and it 1m hoped that tUo recusant parties will submit to this decision and co-operate cordially in again restorinff union and power to the oro&nizatioii. While Fcniantsm stood simpley with loreign revolutnnnr, .objects in view, it had the countenance of all' well-wishers ot Irish nationality. The morning proceeding opened, as usual, with the reading of the minutes ot the last day's proceedings. Some outstanding committees reported. A resolution was adopted that the part of the resolution expelling the recusant Senators from the Uiotherhood be expunged, in lavor of Mr. Sullivan, of Ohio, and Mr. Fleming of Troy, in ease they publicly express their sorrow for the part they had taken in opposition to the Brother hood. There was a very strong teeling in the House in favor of these two gentlemen. They seemed to command the respect of the. delegates assem bled, and many expressed themselves so con vinced of their high standing that they must have erred through the influence and fulse repre sentations ot designing parties. CENTRAL COUNCIL APPOINTED. A committee was next appointed of one from each State and district to select the names of V members for the oflice of Central Council. The following ten names were submitted: Joseph McUrath, St. Louis; James J. Sogers, New York; Captain J. M. Tobin, fihawruut; Patrick Ward, Iowa; Colonel Mullen, Tennessee; Lawrence Verdon, Detroit; J. J. Meany, Ohio; S. E. Smnot, Massachusetts; J. Cavanagh, Cali fornia; and Patrick Corbet, Syracuse. Colonel Mullen refused the nomination, as he expected to be soon occupied in a capacity more useful to the cause of Ireland. The vote was taken by ballot, and the follow ing gentlemen were elected: Messrs. J. J. Rogers, P. Corbet, S. E. Sinnot, James McGrath, ana Captain Tobin. Mr. Corbet having declined the nomination, a second vote was taken, and Mr. Cavanagh elected. UK. GRIFFIN, TREASURER. The names of Mr. William F. Meehen, of New York, and Mr. Griffin, of Indiana, were sub mitted for the oflice of Treasure. Mr. Griffin wm elected, but at first declined, but was prevailed on to accept by the general wish of the House. Mr. Griffin is reputed to be a very wealthy man said to be a millionaire. He said that the bail required (five hundred thousand dollars) was a heavy one. Though he did not aesire the pcsulon, and as the House thought it was for the good Of Ireland he should accept the position, he would now do so, and lodee securities in mortgage and real estate to the amount required to the most secure trust and manner determined on by able lawyer. "tHe assured the House that he would faithfully keep his trust, and that net one dollar of their funds would be paid without an order timed by the Head Centre and . Secre tary of the Treasury, and that vouchers would be kept lor the same. SALARIES OF OFFICERS. The different officers and the salaries attached thereto were next defined: Per Annum. Head Centre $2(MX) Secretary ot the Treamrr 1500 Secretary of Naval and Military Attain 1500 fceoietarv of Civil Aflairs 1500 Treat ti rer 1000 Subscription Agent 1000 !orrepond)sr (Secretary 1000 Chief Clerk Financial Department 1500 Assistant C'.erk 800 Salaries of organizers, seventy dollars 7 per month and expenses. Central Council, when In session, five dollars per day and travelling expenses. The Committee suggested that, as their re sources were chiefly derived from the poorer classes, the strictest economy and vigilance should be carried out in their disposal. A vote of thanks was passed to the three Senators, Messrs. Meary, Sinnot, and Mullen, who had re mained faithful to their oaths in supporting the legitimate authority of the Brotherhood. A vote of thanks was also passed to the Rev. Mr. Curley, who by his presence had added dig nity to the body, and by his wise counsels had aided their deliberations. The reverend gentleman replied in a very ap propriate speech, thanking the Convention for their good opinion ot him, and hoping, now that tfcey had unanimously placed the organization on a firm and secure basis, that they would all tell their constituents at home what good things tbev had done, and im Dress on them the nece- city of combining in their present gTeat effort to luitaer the cause ot msn independence, tie next read the address to the House prepared by the Committee on Address. It was a resume of the proceedings of the Convention, and what they had accomnlished. I It stated that never before had so respectable and intelligent a body ot Irishmen in this coun try sat in grave deliberation on questions of QVi i vl4al 1mnA1iQn0. KA-r.r lioil un iM-naiil 'ra . tion so strong and powerful been so threatened by designing parlies; but the verdict of this house and iU great and truly national resolve proved that we were not to be turned aside from the great problem of Irish independence. The people, assembled through their delegates, in their might, had settled the difficulties that threatened the Brotherhood. INAUGURATION OF BEAD CENTRE. Colonel O'Mahony now rose to subscribe to the declaration of office. He repeated it after the Chairman, and when he concluded the House rose and gave him three cheers. TBI CHAIRMAN'S ADDRESS. Mr. Corbet was moved from the chair, and a unanimous vote of thanks pasted to him. In jeply he said: He had never seen convened together a body couiprU.ing more intelligence and . forbearance. He did not think there was a really cross man in the house. True, the tribes of Manhattan and Shaw mut had some occasional little brolis. but they could now go home amidst their braves and smoke the calumet of peace. Our labors are now about closing, and you have satisfactorily settled the differences that have so long distracted the Brotherhood. The couatry will accept your verdict, given after such searching investigation and mature delibe ration. We have placed the Brotherhood on a firm basis; and let us exert ourselves to aid or brothers who are ready for the struggle. Do this, and the spirit of liberty and community that now Influences us will soon place Ireland a free nation in communion with the great nations of the earth. Her green flag will soon be recog nized as taking a place among the proud ban ners of free and happy people. MR. KILI.IAN CALLED. Alter Mr. Corict had resumed his seat, Mr. H. D. Killian came forward and was loudly cheered, atter which he nid: This Convention, in poim of ta ent or po ltion second to none that ever st since tue Kilkenny Confederation, must cUim cr iraell a prouder privilege. Its wise decisions have healed our ditlcrencer, and if ever Ireland stands forth a free nation whlh, please iod, the Foon will ytu will look at. these proceedings with pride. From my carliect bovhood, since I at, a child, on the knee of O'Connell. my thoughts, and my hear, too, were for Ireland. Our great organization is a legitimate on, with out signs, passwords, or oaths of any kind. It .8 no secret society, but one established for opt n, leiritimate pnrposes. If Carbonarism has at any time crept into it, it has been introduced by traitors, who wish to break up our body. I have aot been a Fenian long, and why? When residing in the valley of the Missouri i heard that it was a secret organization; there fore! was resolved to have nothing to do with it. I coon saw it was not. I therefore Joined if; for I saw it was the only organization that could cfTcct the liberation of Ireland. In my official capacity I have been much in contact with men differing from me. I have tried to k-ep on a friendly feeling with them; for I must tell ou. though I have had many warm friends since roy boyhood, I think I have never lost the fiiendship of one. It in the heat of debate I have said anything unfair or unjust, through a slip of the tongue, 1 have tried to correct such a slip. Such a slip occurred yesterday; but I at once checked it, and I am glad I did, for I res ret any hasty or unfair expression. Fcnianfsm should be one unbroken chain, without any rotten or severed links. (A voice "What about General Meagher?") I am flad to hear from a delegate lust come from tlaho, that General Mcajrher Is lecturing and working for us there among the true men of that far-off Territory. I like to see General Meagher actively in our ranks, like that Cato of Irish re publicanism. John Mitchel. The night before he left for Paris I heard from his lips the noblest words that ever a patriot breathed. "I have," he said, "lost my children in the late struggle, I have suffered incarcera tion, and I might add want, yet I would sutler the whole over again if I only thought that it has sufficiently schooled Irishmen in their streneth and power to enable them to smite England." We have acquired strength and power sufficient to hurl England from her cruel pedestal of despotism. Now that we have healed onr differences, give us the monev and we will soon do this. We have good iriends men in the highest positions in the country. Let us assist ourselves, and I have good assurance they will assist us. (Cheers were given tor President Johnson and Mr. MitchcL) Mr. Meany said that Mr. Roberta had taken on himself the credit of effecting the negotiation for John Mitchel's release. All he had to do with it was to read the resoluton to President John eon, thanking him for releasing Mr. Mitchel. A Voice Who wrote the resolution ? Mr. Killian. tn reply, stated Mr. Roberts wrote it in the White House as I dictated it to him. (Laughter.) Mr. Griflia, of Indiana, stated that he knew himself that the whole merit of negotiating Mr. Mitchel's release was due to Mr. Killian. Mr. Rogers being called on, delivered a telling, eloquent, and appropriate speech. The House adjourned sine die.N. Y. Herald. MORE REBEJNFAMY. Barbarous Conduct of Texan Ex Rebel Surgeons-They Refuse to Attend President Johnson's Brother His Death Caused by Want of Medical At - tendance. From the Xathville Preti and Tune. Some ten days since, when the telegraph stated, on authority of General Sfrone, a Fede ral officer stationed in Texas, that William John son, brother of the President, and Collector of the port of Valasco, Texas, and an old roan in his sixty eighth year, had died in consequence of the refusal of Rebel physicians to give him professional attention, basing the refusal on the ground that he was a Union man, and a brother ot the President, this seemed so incredible that we hesitated first to ropy it. It revealed a barbarity and brutality which we rejoice to be lieve were not usual during the war. The medical profession has always been one of humanity we had almost said above all others; and that all the physicians within the viciulty of Yalasco should curry their rebellious feelings to such an extent as to allow an aged man, nearly seventy years old, to die for lack of atten tion, simply because he differed from them in politics, seemed to disgrace humanity itself. But the card which was sent to us yesterday, without our solicitation, by the sons ofyhe deceased, and the confirmation of the original statement, by his widow and daughter, of William Johnson, establishes its truth beyond all controversy. We republish the material portion of the card of Andrew and James Johnson, who are officers of the Tennessee penitentiary: General Strong makes a statement that our father, Mr. William Johnson, was accidentally shot by the discharge of his own gun, and that a number of surgeons in Valasco, Texas, where the accident occurred, were applied to for assist ance. All refused, and notonly refused, but based their refusal upon the grounds that John son was a brother to the President, etc. In ad dition, we will state that the above are facte, and that our father had to send to Columbia, Texas, a distance of one hundred miles, tor a Federal surgeon, before getting any assistance. Dr. Seads is the gentleman who came to our father's assist ance from Columbia, but fourteen days having elapsed, was too late to save his lite, and Dr. Scads says our father died from neglect, and the medical faculty generally ot Valasco stated that there were too' many Johnsons now. Within four hours' ride of Valasco, where Mr. Johnson lived, there were no less than twenty physicians, yet not oae would go to the relief of the suffering man. Even the one who had been their family physician in times past refused to attend upon him. Mr. Johnson's offense was that ho and his f amily were decided Unionist and re latives of the President. He was a quiet, indus trious citizen, and although positive in hi ad herence to the Government, gave provocation to no man, and that was a crime not to be pardoned this Bide of the grave by wretches who would make no scruple of asking pardon from fhe Pre sident, and demanding the restoration of politi cal power to their hands, so that they might bring the Union citizens of Texas under proper discipline. The Rebels at Valasco say that they will wait quietly until the departure of Federal troops from the State, and that then they will manage things to suit themselves. The loyal citizens are justly alarmed at the prospect, and dread being given up to the power ot Rebels who ruled the country with a rod of iron during the Rebellion. , We can easily understand how loyal men at the South sometimes grow heartsick aud despair ing when they contemplate the sudden reclama tion of their State affairs by the Rebels. Let them take courage at the thought that the loyal millions of the North are determined to see that JuBtice and protection are guaranteed to them perpetually. There are many ot the late uarti sans of the Rebellion who intend to be good citi zens, but there are many others who seem given over to judicial blindness, and are ranking rapidly to their own ruin. The power is with the nation to build up or crubh out, and it will protect its friends. . THIRD EDITION EUROPE ARRIVAL OF STEAMER "SCOTIA." WAS II I TV a WOTS . IMPORTANT RUMORS. British Military Movements in Ireland. ACQUITTAL OF ANOTHER FENIAN. New York, January 12, 1130 A. M. The Royal mail steamship Scotia has arrived here, with Liverpool advices of December 30, via Queens town December 31. She brings very little news. The Fenian trials are again progressing at Cork, and another prisoner, James Mountuine, had been acquitted. New regiments had been hastily sent from England to Dublin. One of them in garrison at Manchetter was moved at 3 A.M., and con veyed to Liverpool, 1200 strong, and forthwith eml arked for Dublin. These energetic move ments of course gave rise to rumors of serious danger. La Fi ance denies the report from America that the French Minister has sent his first Secretary of legation here for instructions on the Mexican question, or that he has civeu notice that he will withdraw if America sends a representative to Juarez. The Bourse was steady at 68f.02. Three more Spimieh trigatcs are about ta sail for the Pacific. The King of Portugal paid a visit of only four hours to Madrid. The London money market was tight and the deninnd heavy, notwithstanding the advance of the rate to seven. The Latest. Liverpool, Saturday Kvenine. The steam ship hecla, lrom New York, has arrived. The steamer Pentimjivania, from New York for Liverpool, struek a rock off M;zzeu Head, on the 21st ot December, and had thirteen feet of water in her fore part. The West India mail steamer arrived at South ampton to-day, with nearly a million and a halt dollars in specie. The Army ana Navy Gazette believes that the British Government hud resolved on a very con siderable decrease in the army. The leading leature will be the reduction of two companies in each battalion of the line, amounting in the aggregate to about 850 officers and some 16,000 non-commissioned officers and men. One regiment of cavalry is also expected to disappear. The Board of Trade returns for November ex hibit an extraordinary increase in exports, amounting to three and a half million pounds sterling, or 29 per cent, over those of November, 1864. The Times has, as usual, its extended editorial resume of the events of the year, a large portion being devoted to a favorable criticism on Ameri can aflairs. Commercial Intelligence.

Cotton is dull, and transactions are meagre at 4041Jc. Receipts fair, with large shipments by the river north and to New Orleans. The river Is slowly falling, with six feet of water on Harpeth Shoals. There have been no arrivals' or departures of boats. The fit lartre cable of the suspension bridge over the Cuoiberlund river was put in place to-dav. Tnere is yet no ouorutn in the Senate, and baruly a quorum in the House, and no business of importance -ha beeu transacted.

Telegrams to Macon found no such firm, and to Cincinnati that there were no fuads there, and Hong has accordingly been arrested for attempting to swindle. INTENDED CABINET CHANGES. Secretaries Stanton, Seward, and Welles to Retire. Special to The Evening; Telegraph. Washington, January 12. There have been floating rumor current here for Ecvcral days past, relative to important chonges which are to take place in the Cabinet. These talcs b a ve this morning assumed a defi nite shape, and if true, constitute the most vital news we have had for borne months. For their tiuth we do not vouch. Secretary Stunton, whose intention has been known for some time t3 resign his portlollo and retire into private life as soon as the war had entirely ceased, has ten dered his resignation. Secretary Seward, whose conduct during the war has met with the highest approval of the Administration, designs to leave all ofTHal cares as soon as he returns from hie sea trip, unless the change of Hie entirely renovates his health, which has been failing for some months. While Secretary Welles' resignation, sent in immediately before the meeting of Con gress, will probably be assented to at the same time that his colleagues retire. As we foretold two weeks ago, Mr. Harlan will leave the Cabi net for the Senate, his views not being in har, mony with those of the President. He will be returned to the Senate lrom Iowa, the Legisla ture of which State elects a Senator tnia session. Hon. J. R. Doolittle, of Wisconsin, will be his successor. Mr. McOulloch, Secretary of the Treasury, will undoubtedly be retained, no matter what Cabi net changes may be made. He is too valuable to the nation to be loot. Mr. Deoison, Postmaster-General, will also rcmaiu, as he is a good officer, and Is among the President's most con fidential friends. We send you all the rumors, but whether founded in fact or fiction time will show. Koontz tb. CfTrtn. The Committee on Elections are still consider ing the case from the Sixteenth District of Penn sylvania. Mr. Koontz mado an argument this morning of an hour's length. Mr. Coffrotn replied. .

At Yazoo City, since June 1st, 18C5, twenty-five thousand bales of cotton have been recovered. A body of negroes on the Red river rose in arms about ten days since, and tried to murder their over seers, but, failing in this, marched to another place and awaited reinforcements, but tho militia nabbed them all without serious diffi culty, and arresied their accomplices on several plantations, where arms and ammunition were found secreted in quantities. Before this affair the freedmen had refused to work in that section. The military and militia in Caddo parish are under arms. Captain Tay lor, of the parish militia, arrested by the Fede ral military power, was to be tried by a military commission, but escaped from jail. The action of the military, in rescuing by force of arms from custody the Sheriff at Jefferson, Texas, has been sustained by the Federal autho rities, and the principal agent ordered back to his post. On the 15th of February will be sold at auction by order of the New Orleans city government, fourteen squares of levee property in front of the business part of the city. In the United States District Court the Ubel vs. Jm'ige Rust's property has bepn determined, and the property returned to hiin. Rust was the Rebel agent in Spain.

FINANCE AND COMMERCE Office of tub Evening Tileoraph, 1 Friday, January 12, 1800. J The Stock Market was more active this morn ing, but prices unsettled and lower. There seems to be more disposition to realize. The fundamental measures of the Secretary of the Treasury must be the basis of all future ope rations of the Government in financial matters. If speculators extend operations to points of danger, and suffer thereby, they cannot com plain of Secretary McCulloch, who has given them fair warning, and means to proceed in all practicable ways to benefit the people, and not the speculators.
