from the Committee on ReconutriK Uod, Binned
by hiranelf and Representative Wai-hbiirne, of
Illinoif, lu which they state that the colored
people are undoubtedly loyal, and one-half of
the white people disloyal. East Tennessee Is
strongly loyal, and Middle and Western Ten
nessee disloyal. There are about 120,000 white
malei of the voting age, and 80,000 colored of
the voting ase in all 200,000. The proposition
of the Coraniiitee herctolore reported places the
State Government in tli hands of about 00,000,

held. At this Important sitting there were pre
sent John A. MacDonald, Gait, Campbell, McGee,

important considerat'on, the protection of our
fellow-subjects alone the frontier, exposed to
the reaurauding operations of the Fenians.it was
resolved to call out 10,000 volunteers for the
prelection and defense of the Canadian frontier.
This step Is adopted mainly as a precautionary
measure, but If want'j l for more active service,
the volunteers will be on hand. It Is hoped that
active exertions will lot bo necessary, but if
they are, the Government relies on the loy

KUKOPE.
THE FEIAS.
CAPTURE OF TUB VICH i.'KAD CENTBB OF IBBLAND.
Frcm the Dublin Frcclrxn, February 21.
On yesterday the movement of the Fenian
Brotherhood received one of its severest checks
in the arrest ol ltttrick J. McDonnell. Vice Head
Centre of the Feninrs in Ireland, and the alleged
leader of the conspiracy in Ireland sinco th"i dis
appearance of Sti'i hens. The first clue received
by the police ol tho Important post
ticn held by HcDounell was obtained
some months since In the discovery, by
the Custom House oillcer9, of a box contain
ing arms in the goods store of the City of Dublin
Steam Company, North Wall, and addrsied to
McDonnpll to a rope factory, where he did busi
ness, at New Row West. From the inquiries then
Bet on foot it was found that Patrick 3. was high
up in the councils of "tho Brotherhood." and
w as only second to Stephens himself in authority
in this country. He had been conductor of an
other rope establishment in South Earl street
belore he took charge ol the New Row West;
but it appears thai, utter the discovery of the
box of arms he felt it prudent, if not proiitable,
to retire from his legitimate business, and take
up that of Fenianismi He continued to evade the
vigilance of the police up to yesterday morning,
and the news of his capture was heard by the
friends of "the movement" with general
dismay, as he bai, it is said, more et
the wisdom of Ulr-ses than the valor of
Hector, and was invaluable in the coun
cils ot the conspirators. There Is onother and a
Btroneer cause lor the chagrin of the "Brother
hood" at the arrest of McDonnell, which exists
in the tact that he wit3 the close friend and con
fidant of the Head Centre, who, It is firmly be
lieved by those best uiiormed, is still in Dublin.
In the numerous captures which have been
made, Stephens has lost some ot his best sup
porters and mediums of communication, as well
as the holders of the secret of his
present whereabout", and it is held firmly
that the operations of every day are
narrowing the limits that divide "the Head
Centre" lrom those who seek his recapture.
The thousand pounds offered for information
that will lead to bis arrest, and the thousand
pounds offered for bis apprehension, are now
most likely to work effectively, as some ot the
most prominent of his body-puard are in cus
tody, and those on whom he will have to depend
lor protection will be more liable to betray him
into the hanus of the police. Wherever he Is it
Is stated that in the arrest of McDonnell he has
lost bis sheet anchor, and "the movement-' one
of itB principal motive powers. McDonnell,
atter bing taken into custody, was removed to
Green street station house, from whence he was
conveyed to Mountjoy Penitentiary.
ARREST OF UNITED STATES GENERAL AND CAPTAIN
GLl-ESON.
From the Cork Examiner, February 21.
On Saturday lust the brothers (lleeson, one of
whom had been a riigadier-General aud the
other a Captain in the United States army, were
arrested at Borrisolcich, in the county of Tip
perary, on suspicion of being coucerued in tho
Fenian movement Tuey were brought to the
Bridewell of Thuries, where they were detained
until Monday, when thev were conveyed by
train from that station to lloscrea junction, and
thence to Nenagb. They were lodged in the
county jail of Neuagh, where ihcv btill remain.
The General, a man of extraordinary stature,
will be remembered as having spent a good deal
of time about Cork and Queeustown after his
arrival from America, ubout tour months since.
ARCHBISHOP CCLLEN AGAIN DENOUNCING TEE
' ' OKDER.
The following pastoral from Archbishop Cullen
was read in the Dublin churches on the 18th:
This Brotherhood or Society, so fur from pro
moting the interests of the country, only teuds
to acgravate its evils, checking business, in
creasing poverty, playing into the bauds of
Orangemen, as appeurs from the rejoicings of
their press, aud giving strength to allour ene
mies. In America some Head Centres ana leaders
ot l'eniauism, enriched by taxes levied on the
simplicity and good faith of our countrymen,
have been raised to a position in which they
can live splendidly, and surround themselves
with the slate and poiup of a mock court. But
how different the ciu;e in Ireland I Here those
who have lett themselves be duped by agents of
the Brotherhood have been lett without employ
ment, and many ot thfin reduced to the greatest
difficulties, and even to a state of destitution.
Buoyed up for a while with foolish hopes and
fallacious promise!", they been held asmeretoo'.s
to excite a popular leeling In favor of the or
ganization In America, persuading our Door
countrymen that groat events, wonderful revo
lutionary movements, were impending in Ireland,
and thus inducing them to part more freely
with their money. While the Head Centres were
thus enriched hi America, their unhappy iieents
in Ireland, having become the vlctiios'ot spies
and informers, were brought before the publio
tribunals, and condemned to drag out a misera
ble existence amongst teions, in all tup horrors
ot peual servitude. Tho moral elects of Feni
auinu have been Jno.a deplorable. Like Rib
bonism and other secret associations it is
connected with drunkenness, and it is recorded
by the public press that some of the leaders,
while inebriated, osl papers which betrayed
their 6ecrets, and lti them at tho mercy ot tho
police. Had not Fenianism been checked in its
destructive career, i would have deluged the
country with infidelity; aud, imitating Voltaire
and his .Impious followers, it would have, pre
pared the minds ot tne people for the barbarous
scenes which were enacted in France in the hut
century.

of the pluu of making League Island a great

and we commend to their attention the follow

Captain Fix leglns his report, which is dated
Feltunrv 21. 1866, wuu a rolorouoo to tho sovore

l'biiadelpbia.
Alter remarking that he .thinks tbe importance of
the back channel liaj not l ean suliloiont y estimated.
Captain Fox says tho Philadelphia Navy l ard has
but one tin ti of tho Irontaue ot tho Eonlish Navy
Vaid at Bermuda, oil' our coast. All our navy yar is
together have not liontao enouih t oonta.n tho

becomes aa important question where we snail so in
Buch bu event Captain Fox turiher says the ad
vaiilasri that would resu't lrom dredging the baolc

lue Assistant. Socrelary then procoeds to consider
tho cost ot making the navy yard ihore He says
the island contains about six hundred acres, and is
about two and a hall tcet below hiicb-wator m .rk;
but las not been overflowed siuce the building ot tue

twenty-five cents per cuhio yai d, SOUO.OOO sum
less, say Captain Fox, than bas been expended
during the war tor coal and repaiis ot the steamer
Vundirinlt; less than Mr Forbes bus expended oa
tbe Idaho, which he is building lor Government;
and only twenty per cout. more than the cost of one
ot the uiany urst-class steam eugiues built since 1861.
Ibis expenditure would eivo the country tho most

advantages and is liable to fewer objections than any
other within the area of the Union.
IsowtLatlam about to retire to civil life, says
Captain lox, m concluding bis report to the Score
tuiy, I cannot on rcviowiug our whole exusriencoof
tbe last live years, think ol a subjoo' connected with
our naval ailairs of so serious an import as thin of
extending and ainplilving our room lor building,
tepairing, llttinr out and laying up a nnw. War
Las become, in a meat measure, a question of finan
cial resoutces and mechanical sconce; and rela
tively we aie not so we i provided with the necessary
l aw aids as we were at the close of the war ot
1812. We are tbe only mivl power that is not acting
upon lesions learned from the late war,
Tiie Elephant. Considerable consterna
tion has been created bv the vagaries of an ele
phant belonging to the menagerie of Mr. Fore
paugh, at Tenth and Callowhlll streets. It would
seem that he is subject to elephantine epilepsy,
and Is at present enjoying a season of recrea
tion, lie ludulges In the amusement of throw
ing thinps around promiscuously. He is not very
particular as to what he sets hold of. For
instance, he sometimes seizes a young elephant
and throws it into an adioimng apartment,
smusniug the partition to utoms, and requiring
the individual attcution ot his keeper aud a
large corps of a'.sibtants. As at present con
trolled he is rather a dangerous resident. The
place he occupies is certainly not so sale as It f
raicht be. If he should liiul it convenient to &
take an airing, one blow from hi trunk would
scatter tho Callowbill street front snd give him
"the world belore Lim wbere to choose." It
does not Feem that the keeper has as complete
control over iho animal as he oiurht to have.
He may be a very interesting beast viewed from
some sale stand-point, but when he commences
his peculiar feats ot strength and asllity, would
it not be well to give hltn a limited compass?
Menageries are good schools of na'ural historj,
but they ought to be conducted in a mild form.
Equality bkfohe The Law. This, even
ing the tilth ot the course of lectures ci veil by
the "Social, Civil, and Statistical Association of
the Colorea People of Pennsylvania" will be
delivered at Concert Hall by Professor William
Howard Day. This gentleman is one of the
most gifted of his race, and has given the best
Tear of his life to the task of preenting the
claims of the colored people of tho Un'ted
States to complete and universal recognition
before the law. lie has identified himselt fully
witb all their interests, and tluy have no more
fearless,' eloquent, ond outspoken exponent.
His suLlect for this evening will bo "Equality
before tho Law," 'and there, U every reason to
believe that it will be a success. Miss Green
field, the Rlack Hwan, will slug before and after
the lecture.
Changed yvitit Assault. Feter Fisher
whs arrested yesterday atteruoon charged with
being one of 'the tuii'tv connected with tbe as
sault on Mr. John V. Uoulton, near Girard Col
lege, as mentioned la Tub Telhobaph at the
time. He was taken belore Alderman Fitch,
and held in it)0 bail.
Run Oveb and Lmjuiied. Johu Gray,
aged 25 years, undertook to step from a car on
the Doiby and Philarielphia Passenger Kuilroad,
near Mount Moriah lane, and falling off was run
over. He had an arm and hand seiiously in
jured, and was conveyed to the Uorpltal.
Schools for tits Ohphansof Soldiers.
Governor Curtln, la his last message, relerred
to the fact tbnt it was necessary to furnish edu
cational facilities tor the orphan children of
those who have lost their lives lu the service of
the country, This is a debt that the country
owes to the little ones, and what Is more to the
purpose, it Trill make good citizens of those waifs
and estiays wjio will otherwise become teions or
dependants Jjupou public chanty. The Hon.
Thomas II. Burrows has been charged with the
duty of looking after tne interests of thesoldiera'
orphans, and It could scarcely be entrusted to
belter hands. From a circular issued tor the In
formation of the public we glean the following
tact', which will be ot interest to all who desire
to pist the worthy.
Phcre are now twenty-three schools In opera
Won, and eight more will shortly be opened.
The schools are of two grades, one for the receo
tkn and tuition of children between tbe ages
of four to eight years, and the other em bracing
those from eight to sixteen years. For conve
nience, the foimer clas have been distributed
in the various omhans' homci and asvlnms
throuphout the State, and they are clothed and.
maintained, tnero at tue expense or tbe com
monwealth. Orphans of the second class ara
located in special buildinrs, with grounds at
tached, in various part of the State, and they
are under the charge of teachers appointed lor
that service.
Tho plan adopted secures the best instruction
for the pupils which they are capable of receiv
ing, with physical exercise and moral and reli
gious education. At the present time there are
about two thousand pupils in theso schools, all
the children ol soldiers who have not left suffi
cient means for tho support and education of
their lamllies. It is supposed that as the moans
of accommodation increase the number ot pupils
will reach threo thousand, which it estimated
will be the highest number that will be attalued.
As the plan conti raplutes tbe binding out of the
scholars at the age ot sixteen years, the aggre
gate cl pupils will soon decrease, so that by tho
jear 1884 the schools will bo eloed, and the
trust will be fully discharged. The last appro
priation, which w as expended, or nearly so, on
the 1st of Jauuurv, 1800, was $103,817-6l. For
the present year it is believed that $260,000 will
be sufficient, not only to' pay tho expenses of the
school, but to administer partial relief la cases
where tbe orphaus will remain with their
mothers or friends, and receive the advantages
of borne education.
Destructive Fire at a Woollex and
Cotton Factoby This Morning. At an early
hour this morning, a fire occurred at the fac
tory of Smith & Ivibon, in Twenty-fourth street,
above Green street. Tbe factory is situated on
the west side of Twenty-fourth street, and was
used for the purpose of printiny and finishing
woollea and cotton goods. The main building is
a lour story brick edifice, to which is attacbed,
ou the north side, a cue-story frame structure.
The property Is owned by Mr. Christian Stiver,
and was occupied by several parties, tho prin
cipal of whom were Messrs. Smith A Ivlson.
The frame shed was occupied by Kluff & Waldeu,
dyers. This shed was used for storing drues and
other material used in dyeing goods, and oue por
tion ot it constituted au apartmout tor bleaching
yarn.
The fire originated In the bleaching establish
ment, and tbe outer thed and its contents were
totally destroyed. The fire made Its way through
the second, third, and fourth stories of the main,
r brick building, burning all the wood-work
through to the roof, greatly damaging tho in
terior. The lower 6tory escaped the ravages of
the fire, but was considerably injured by water.
The boilers of the establishment were located in
the fiKt story. Smith A lvisoa used the second
story of the main building for drying machines,
and the third and fourth floors were used by
Kluff A Walden for drying vara by steam.
There was a damage of about $1009 to the four
story building. Smith A Ivison's loss will reach
about $2000, and that of Kluff A Walden about
$1000, making a total loss ot about $1000, which
is, it is thought, lully insured in the Equitable,
Mutual, Girard, and other insurance companies.
Gold and Silver bullion bricks, nugsets,
and ingots of gold, are beginning to come in
lrom the Western mines. The superintendents
of many companies have practically demon
strated the fact by sending or bringing on the
precious dust, and ono can see aud leel thee
convincing arguments that there is money in
the told and silver mining business. Those who
would feel it in their pocket3 must secure a
stock interest in some good enterprlso of this
kind. The North American Mining Company,
office No. 327 Walnut street, is undoubtedly a
safe and good one In which to embark. Thl3
company has nearly two mil.'s of silver ledgo3,
and will probably be iu a divllend-paying con
dition before Ubt January.
About a Barbel op Esos. William
Hadley, William McDevitt, George L. Crapp,

Engelt. The eggs were stolen from Spruce street
wharf. Hadley and McDevitt were chased for
two hours over different parts of the "Neck" by
Officer Ware, but he subsequently succeeded in
arresting them. Alderman Lutz committed the
entire party to prison. .
"Shoving the Queer." Patrick Malony
was anx-stcd last evening tor passing counter
feit currency in te neighborhood of Fourth and
Shippen streets. Forty twenty-five and fifty cent
counterfeit currency notes were found on his
perton. He was committed for a hearing before
the United States Comtnisioner.
Disturbing a Congregation. A maa
named Edward Willarwas arrested last evening
for disturbing the congregation of the Mariners'
Betbel Church, corner of Penn and Sbippen
street. He was taken before Alderman Titter
nmrj, who committed him In default of $800 bail.
