E. D, WHITNEY.
mh3-2t* President.
New Jersey has never borne the reputa
tion of bein g a particularly mirthful State.
There is not much fun in her pine
swamps, nor is her sandy soil prolific
of humor; the mosquitoes along her
somewhat extended sea and bay-coast
are rather sharp customers to deal with,
and her semi-marine landlords, all the
way from Long Branch to Cape May,
have always been more remarkable for a
propensity to imitate the musical in
sects just named, by bleeding the rest" of
mankind, than for any extraordinary
fondness for mirthfulness. In our own
boyish days Camden and its surround
ings used to be considered the abiding
place of about as sharp a set of blades as
could be found anywhere outside of a
cutlex 's shop, and if a Philadelphian was
caught among them,and escaped "skin
ning," his reputation was established
for life. Camden was noted of yore,
when it was a village, more, vastly
more, for its sharp management in the
way of taking in and doing for
strangers than for any particularly
unctuous humor on the part of its
people, and although there are some
very clever fellows among our trans-
Delaware neighbors, the fact that many
of their townsmen avail themselves of
our public schools for the free education
of their children shows at once that the
old Jersey leaven still works; that
Jerseymen not only understand where
to find what is good, but also how to
obtain it cheaply, and, in short, that
Jersey is still Jersey. Still it does not
argue much for the humor of the sandy
State. But while we could not reasona
bly- look for roses upon thorns, for
orange groves at Longacoming, nor for
-gay parterres" upon Squan beach—
Jersey has surprised us in an equal de
gree by sending a funny man in the
person of Mr. Andrew Rogers to Con
gress. We have already given this
Merry Andrew several first-rate notices,
but his performances are so quaint and
entertaining that we must again refer to
him.
On Friday last,during the debate upon
the bill sectuing the natural rights of all
men in the country, without regard to
color or condition, Mr. Rogers put on
his cap and bells, and came out in
immense force. How well he was ap
preciated by his fellow-members may
be inferred from the frequent occurrence
of the word "laughter" in the published
reports of : his performance. One of this
funny Jerseyman's best jokes came in
where he deciarid that no member was
more willing than himself to extend to
the negro all his rights of life, liberty
and property. He was willing to treat
him in the most kind and Christian-like
manner, and to extend to him every
privilege which ought to be granted to
any man is the United States for his
protection.
Mr. Thayer inquired of the humane
and considerate Rogers > , whether he
( Rogers) had voted for the Constitutional
Amendment abolishing slavery. His
reply is reported as follows :
mh3-strpl
"No, sir, I thank God I never did.
[Laughter.] I could not go home and
lie down at night with a clear conscience
before God if 1 had been guilty of robbing
the people of this country of thousands of
millions of dollars, invested in negroes un
der the Constitution adopted by our fathers
for the protection of that property for which
our revolutionary fathers fought as much as
for the protection of any other rights.
[Laughter.l"
Mr. Rogers has thrown into the shade
the famous bit of logic which lung in
this wise-
- If a man who turnips cries,
Cries not when his father ales.
'Tis a sign that he had rather
Rave a turnip than a father.'
But, Mr. Rogers—most sagacious and
consistent Mr. Rogers—do not, in the
fullness of your Congressional charity,
go for any measure for extending "all
the rights of life, liberty and property"
to "poor white trash" in the North, lest
you might deem it a necessary corollary
to your kindly consideration, to deprive
us of property in ourselves, in order to
save the country "thousands of millions
of dollars." We are quite sure that the
colored gentleman will be equally skep
tical concerning the practical character
a Mr. Rogers's charity for him, when
that distinguished statesman character
izes the great act .which decreed liberty
to a race, now and forever, as a "most
wicked and unjust measure!" But
Sambo can console himself with the fact
that the usual laughter came in at the
end of the Rogerian outburst, and that
this laughter is echoed, or will be echoed,
in every nook and corner of the land
where Congressional reports are read,
and Roars is heard of to be appreciated.
But while this queer Jerseyman was
severe upon the only loyal people of the

ROGERS.
PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, MARCH 5, 1866
South, he was as.gentle as a cooing dove
toward the men who had endeavored to
destroy the nation that slavery might
prosper. Hear him upon this point—
"He was willing to trust the southern States.
Be believed that the masses of the people of
those States, when they were fighting against
the flag of the country, were moved by high
and conscientious convictions. In, the spirit
of Christianity, in the spirit which Jesus
Christ exercised when he gave up his own
life as a propitiation for a fallen world, he
was willing , to invite the Southern men to
come back into the halls of Congress, to
participate in the passage of laws to govern
the four millions of people who have been
rehabilitated within their lines."
The fun ceases here, and Mr. Rogers,
from being absurd, becomes blasphem
ous. A certain illustrious citizen of a
slave State, in writing upon slavery,
many years ago, declared that he
"trembled for his country when he re
flected that God was just," and that in
the event of a struggle between freedom
and slavery there was no attribute of
Deity to side with the latter. This poor
behind-the-age Jerseyman takes the op
posite ground and we scarcely
know whether most to laugh at his ab•
surdity or to frown upon his blasphemy.
Mr. Rogers is a donkey, and a very
spiteful and malignant one into the
bargain.
'THE VIENIA.N S.
TREMENDOUS MASS MEETING AT
NEW YORK.
Scores of Thousands of Participants.
Exciting Speeches, Resolutions, &c.
The Demonstrations at Other Points,,
From To-day's S. Y. Timm j
Notwithstanding the circular which the
Archbishop of New York sent to the clergy
of the Roman Catholic Church on Saturday,
and caused to be read in all the churches
yesterday, admonishing the Catholics, and
counseling them the regard the mass meet
ing at Jones' Wood as "an open profanation
of the Lord's day, an act of public spandal
to religion, and an outrage to the feelings of
all good Catholics, especially in this holy
season of Lent," there was yet a most im
posing meeting of Fenians at the time and
glace named by the Head Centre of the
organization in America, and the musicians
discoursed warlike music and the orators
discussed Irish. and American politics and
berated Archbishop McCloskey for his at
tempted interferenceas though the day were
an ordinary secular holiday.
Two of the clock in the afternoon was the
hour named by the Committee of Arrange
ments; but at 10 in the morning the cars of
the Second, Third, Sixth, Seventh and
Eighth avenues, and those of the North and
East River lines, began to pour out their
freight of Fenians, and from noonday until
after 3 o'clock Second and Third avenues,
from Sixty-third street to Sixty-sixth, and
Sixty-sixth street, from Third avenue down
to the gateways of Jones' Wood Park, and
the Park avenues, from the gates to the
threshold of Jones' Wood Hotel, were black
with unbroken multitudes of men—with
here and there a few women—wending their
way to the rostrums which had been pre
ared for the orators ofthe day. The pas
zengers who were borne to the scene by the
city railway cars are numbered by
thousands. From 11 A. M. until nearly
4 P.jM. the Third avenue line despatched
one car a minute, and until the jam of
travelers that crowded the tops of their cars
broke through the roofs of several of those
vehicles, thus compelling the Company to
employ policemen to keep the crowds off
the car-tops, each car might be safely esti
mated to have borne a hundred persons to
the grounds. The Second-avenue Railroad
Company, although running only sixty
cars, while the Third-avenue Company
were running a hundred and fifty, yet bore
nearly as many passengers to the Wood as
did the Third; and in addition to vast mul
titudes which reached the grounds by rail
a ay, were thousands on thousands of the
inhabitants of the Eighteenth, Nineteenth
and Twenty-second Wards, who walked
thither,. and two large barge-loads, who
took passage from Brooklyn and steamed
up the East River.
The multitude within the grounds was
probably greatest at about 3 o'clock in the
afternoon, for about that hour portentous
storm-clouds overcast the sky, and a few
shimmering snow-flakes spoke volumes of
warning; while to the people from the re
mote districts of Brooklyn and New Jersey
and from Westchester county the immense
tide of humanity that continued to pour
into the park suggested the necessity of
making an early exit. To tarry was, with
thsm, manifestly to take their choice of
walking home,or of tvaiting until a late hour
of night to find even standing room in the
cars; and hence, after they had looked upon
the immense gathering as it appeared from
the crest of the hill overlooking the park
play-grounds, they turned their footsteps
homeward. The number of persons who
were in Jones' Wood Park at this hour is
estimated at one hundred thousand.
Jones's Wood Hotel .was beseiged from
noonday until the hour for speak ng, by
enthusiastic Fenians who were desirous . of
seeing the Fenian leaders; but the werenot
gratified. The Head Centre and Justice
Michael Connolly quietly drove up to the
hotel at about 1 o'clock, and '`were uncere
moniously bundled off to the Committee
room, and here the less famous orators of
the brotherhood were introduced to their
distinguished chief, and assigned their re
spective parts in the drama of the day.
Four stands had been erected on the hill
sides, and around these, at about 2.30 o'clock,
when the speakers were introduced, the
people gathered in such numbers that to
those on the outer edges of the circles the
speakers' words were inaudible. Upward
of two hundred circles were represented.
The riparian liquor booths and bowling
alleys, billiard room, the shooting gallery,
and the swings and chance tables were sur-:
rounded by the motley groups of loungers
that may be found near these places on any .
summer Sabbath. But, in common justice,
it should be said that there was far less in
dulgence in intoxicating beverages than
might have been expected. Not a drunken
• I : : •0 ' *.
man was visible until after o'clock, and
then our reporters, on comparing notes,
counted only three, and these were neither
boisterous nor conspicuous.
Far down the slopes from the flag-staff,
whence floated the starry banner of the na
tion, and far up the hillsides, ou the western
boundary of the park, stood the thousands
who had come out rather to see the vast
assemblage than to listen to the speeches.
At about 2.30 P. M. the speakers pro
ceeded to the various stands. These were
decorated with the American and Irish
colors. Judge Connolly, who was to pre
side at the principal stand, wended his way
thither, and after forcing a path through
the dense mass of human beings congre
gated around, and routing a band of musi
cians who had possession of the speaker's
stand, he 4. took charge thereof and
called the meeting to order.
Just at this time Colonel O'Mahony and
George Francis Train were observed strng
.gling in the crowd below, like gallant ships
among the breakers. Now they disappeared
from view entirely, now they rose again
and were propelled onward for a short dis
tance. Now they were compelled to stop
again, each gentleman, it was observed,.
mindful of what occurred not so very long
ago at the Cooper Institute, keeping &tight
hand on his pockets and a wary eye on, his
friends. At last, however, both gentlemen
were safely landed in the sneakers' stand,.
breathless but uninjured.
The crowd near the stand had now greatly.
increased; every tree large enough to affords
a foothold was loaded with human beings,
and all around a mass of upturned faces met
the view. It was, of course, impossible that
many of them could hear a word that the
speakers uttered, yet they stood there pa
tiently for many hours.
Shortly atter 2 30 o'clock, Judge Connolly
again called the meeting to order, and said
that he had been requested to preside. He
then made a few remarks, and concluded by
saying that if every man present would
contribute $5 to the cause,theaggregate sum
would be sufficient to purchase and equip a
privateer. Fenian bonds, he said, were
tor sale in the Committee-room at the hotel.
Dont think we mean to make the Fenian
Brotherhood a permanent organization in
this land. We mean to raise the standard
of Ireland as soon as you furnish the means.
Then the Brotherhood will be done away
with. Enable me by next mail to send a
sufficient sum to supply the necessities of
James Stephens and his brave companions
who have organized under him; enable me
and my brother Fenians to leave this coun
try forever.
The Colonel then introduced as the next
speaker, Capt. John McCafferty, special en
voy from Head Centre Stephens, and the
bearer of important despatches.
Capt. McCafferty reiterated the assurances
made by the previous speaker in regard to
the Fenian army, and said that the persons
who had turned informers were allowed to
go about Dublin unmolested by order of
James Stephens, thus showing that the Fe
nian organization was under perfect disci
pline. Money, he said, was now the only
thing wanting to enable the army to strike
a blow at theSassenach from which he could
never recover. If the 200,000 people present
would only contribute one dollar each, a
great impetus might be given to the cause.
Mr. B. Doran Killian was the next
speaker. , He said that those who pronounce
the Fenian cause unfit for advocacy on this
day, belie the Irish soldiers and Irish mar
tyrs. O'Toole, who wore the mitre and
bore the crozier, thought the cause a holy
cause, and fit for advocacy on any day; his
patrotism was not controlled by the days of
the week. You have your Sunday pic-nics,
and let me tell you they are not better than
Sunday mass meetings. There is no more
sin in meeting in Jones s Woods than in any
other place. If the recording angel should
be disposed to place this meeting among the
lists of our sins, our martyrs will intercede
for us, and efface it from the record. If we
want an example for such meetings as these
we can find it in the practice of our right
reverend friend.
In referring to the object of the meeting
he said that Ireland was up already; the
days of caucuses had passed, and she had
the helmet on her head. Half the honor
belongs to the English Government, who
had urged forward the movement by sus
pending the habeas borpns. Referring to
Canada, he said we will take nothing that is
not our own, but our own we will have.
Let Canada alone; we would not take her if
we could, which we could'nt. Bat we don't
want her, and no Irislitnan would consider
a thousand acres of land on the banks of
the St. Lawrence of as much value as a
potato patch in old Ireland.
Senator Stephen J. Meaney was then in
trod uced,who read the following resolutions:
Whereas, Captain John McCafferty, a
native of the State of Ohio, and a citizen of
the United States, was, on his arrival at
Queenstown, on the 18th of September, 1865,
arrested by the British authorities on false
and groundless charges, of which, after an
imprisonment of four months, he was duly
acquitted;- and, ,
Whereas, During his imprisonment afore
said, said Captain McCaffertyapplied toone
E. G. Eastman, the United States Consul at
Queenstown, for such 'redress as an Amer
ican citizen was fairly and properly entitled
to, viz,: a speedy, a fair and impartial trial,
The Judge then introduced as the first
speaker Col. John O'Mahony. The Colonel,
on coming forward, was welcomed with a
deafening roar of applause. He spoke as
follows:
Fellow Citizens and Brother Fenian: This
is to me a proud yet painful moment, It is
proud because I see around me so many
Irish and American sympathizers here to
testify their approval of the course that
James Stephens and myself have pursued
in building up the Fenian organization. It
is a painful moment because I know the ur
gent necessity of the Brotherhood of means
to carry on the war for Irish independence;
but I know the generous enthusiasm that
animates you, and that those means will be
forthcoming promptly.- There is now, gen
tlemen, ins Ireland an organized Fenian
army,notwithstanding the doubts expressed
of its existence, officered by veterans who
have won their laurels it putting down the
rebellion in this country. There are 300,000
Irish republican soldiers prepared to strike
for liberty and trample in the dust the ty
rants of our race. 1 ask you if you will
subscribe money to put arms in their hands
and enable them to strike the blow? Will
you do that?
Judge Connolly—Speak louder, they
didn't hear yeti.
Col.o'Mahony—Will you do that? "Yes,"
"Yes." The Colonel then proceeded: I
shan't trespass long on your time. I am not
in the habit of making speeches, but again
I ask you to furnish the means to supply
the grand essentials to place munitions of
war at the command of our army and ships
on the sea. If you do that the perils of our
Irish Brotherhood will be done away with,
and soon the green flag of the Republic
will float over the land of our fathers.
[Cheers.]
or an absolute discharge from imprison
ment, and,
Whereas, Said E. G. Eastman replied to
said application in language of the most in
sulting, illegal, un-American and ungen
tlemanly character, referring to Captain
McCafferty's services in the. army of the
Confederate States, although Captain Mc-
Cafferty bad taken the amnesty oath re
quired by the President, who thereby
cast into oblivion all former acts against the
Government or authority of the United
States, and restored said Captain McCaffer
ty totthe full and entire rights of American
citizenship; and
Whereas, Thereafter, said Captain Mc-
Cafferty applied to Charles Francis Adams,
the United States Minister to the Court of
St. James, for like redress, and was
answered by said Adams in a like insulting
illegal, un-American and ungentlemanly
manner; therefore be it
Resolved, Tha, we citizens of the United
States, do regard the said conduct of the
said Eastman and of said Adams more be
coming English hirelings than of American
officials and that we regard the preceden
set by diem as hostile to the policy of the
American nation.
The following resolutions were also
adopted :
.Resolved, First—We citizens of the
United States, native and adopted, hereby
tender our heartfelt sympathies to the
struggling patriots of Ireland and assure
them that they shall from time to time re
ceive from ns encouraging words and the
sinews of defence to the very extent of our
ability.
Second—That the suspension of the writ of
habeas corpus in Ireland by the Parliament
and Crown of England is ipso facto an ac
knowledgment that Ireland is in a state of
war, and by all the rules of civilized' war
fare entitled to the rights of belligerent
[artif S.
Third—Accepting these facts se t ue, we
therefore request our Goverwnent, to ac
knowledge the Irish Republic to ba entitled

.FOurth—That to James Stephens, the Cen
tre Executive of the Irish Republic, and

.public in America, we tender our sincere
wishes that their hopes and ambition to free
their native land from the thraldom of Eng

sympathy and support to the cause of Irish
nationality, and say God speed to the
patriots, and long live the Irish Republic.
While the last resolutions were being

thinned out the crowd considerably. Shortly
afterwards there was a tremendous crash
just in front of the main stand, and about
one-quarter of the platform. gave way, a
ouple of hundred persons being precipi
tated into the hole. Fortunately, however,
the platform was not more than three feet
from the ground, and, except a few mashed
hats and torn coats, no damage was sus
tained.
Gen. B. F. Mullen, Secretary of Military
and Naval Affairs, was the next speaker.

Geo. F. Train, Esq., followed in a charac

broke up with any number of cheers for the
Irish Republik-.

a fine band of music, the speakers were
Messrs. William E. Robinson, (Richelieu;)
Jeremiah Kavanagh, of California; George
Francis Train, of Omaha; James Gallagher.
of Albany: Andrew Wynne, of Philadel
phia; James McDermott, of the Fenian
headquarters; Colonel Murray and General
B. F. Mullen, of the First Artillery; J. J.

speeches were almost identical with those
which were uttered from the main rostrum,

that of the speakers. At every stand a
Fenian broker was stationed with lots of $lO
and $2O bonds of the Irish Republic, but the
sale of these wares was quite languid.
The Fenians in Troy.
TROY, Sunday, March 4.—The largest and
most enthusiastic Fenian meeting ever held
in this city took place this afternoon, one of
the largest halls being crowded to suffoca
tion, the object being to secure subscriptions
to the Irish loan. Addresses were delivered
by Hon. Thos. B. Carroll, of this city, and
Robert Crane, of New York, an Irish patriot
of 1848. Their sentiments were that money
was wanting. Both speakers were sanguine
of aid from Napoleon and Russia. Large
subscriptions were made to the loan. There
is great excitement among the Irish of the
city. Meetings are held nightly. It is ru
mored that large collections of arms and
ammunition are made in this city.

SUICIDE AT CHICAGO.—Says a Chicago
despatch: Coroner Wagner held an inquest
on the body of a man named William
Thompson, aged sixty-five years, who lived
in a room at the rear of 153 Huron street.
About three weeks ago he married a woman
thirty years his junior, and ever since he
has liggn jealous of her. Last night, after
both had gone to bed, the neighbors heard
an altercation going on between them, he,
as usual, making awful threats. The wife
was heard to get out of bed, rush to a
window and scream for help. He, in the
meantime, seized a loaded musket, and
putting the muzzle to his chest, discharged
the contents, the ball passing through him
and lodging in the outer wall of the house.
Verdict—suicide.
AN ANCIENT STovr.t—We hope there will
be no repetition of the "Old Book" contro
versy if we meekly publish the following:
"The oldest stove, probably,in the United
States, is one which warms the hall of Vir
ginia's Capitol in Richmond. It wag made
in England,and sent to Virginia in 1770,and
warmed the House of Burgesses for sixty
lears before it was removed to its present
ocation, where it has been for thirty years.
It has survived three British monarchs; has
been cotemporaneons with four kingly
monarchies, two republics and two impe
rial governments of France. The great
Republic of America has been torn by in
ternecine strife, the breaches partly healed,
and still the old stove remains, unmoved in
the midst of all."
