Coot., Veer.—ln the new State of Colo• redo there are 46 negro.), in all, and these 46, or a portion of them, have petitioned Congress, through their mouth-pieoe, Sen ator Sumner, not to admit Colorado u a State, because the whites, some 34.231, will not permit them to vote, and will not place them on an equality with the whites. Ix Onio there is a severe struggle going on for the United States Senatorship. The contest has been narrowed down to John Sherman, present Senator, and General Schenck, both Republicans. The latter is a foul mouthed bigot, and as a Republi can is certain to be elected, the Demo cratic press _generally sustain Sherman, who, although a political opponent, is man of good personal traits of character And fair ability. There is not much fear that Schenck will•be successful, but if he is, it will be the first victory he has won since the outbreak of the rebellion. Tux English government has published further diplomatic correspondence be tween Iff. Adams and the British Foreign Secretary. Mr. Adams, on Nov. 21, noti fies the English Government that its pro posal for a joint commission is declined by the United States. Earl Clarendon, the new Foreign Secretary, in a letter of Dec. 2, desires the discontinuance of the cor respondence concerning the American claims, on the ground that the topic is fully exhausted. Thus the question of our claims on england remains' in a state of suspense. "s OUR BILATIONS WITH MANCE. The House of Representatives last week received a message from the President communicating the requested information in regard to steps taken by Prance and by Maximilian to obtain from the United States a recognition of the Imperial Gov ernment of Mexico, and of the action ta ken on this question by the Goverrment of the United States. It appears from the diplomatic correspondence laid before the House that several attempts were made on the part of the Government of Maxi lonian to enter into direct, though not ficial, communication with the Secretary of State at Washington: All these at tempts it 'seems were unsuccessful. A let ter from Maximilian to the President was not received, and the agent who brought it not admitted to an interview with the President. As regards France, the Secretary of State, on Nov. 6, in a dispatch to Minister Bigelow, expresses the concern of the United States respecting the presence and the operations of the French army in Mexico, and deblares the attempt to es tablish permanently a foreign and imperi al government in Mexico disalloivable and impracticable. M. Drouyn de L'huys, as may be easily imagined, derived " neither pleasure nor. satisfaction " from this dis patch when it was read to him by Mr. Bigelow. The French government intima ted that they' were Inclined to withdraw their troops in case the Government of the United States was willing to recognize Maximilian. This condition was not ac cepted by our government, which asserted its wish to remain on good terms with the Imperial Government of France, but also stated that the friendly relations between the two governments mould be seriously jeopardbd by the non-withdrawal of the French troops from Mexico. WHY DAVIS VI NOT TRIED. Max President last week sent a Menage to the Senate, in reply to the irlquiry of that body why Jefferson Davis is confined and why he is not brought to trial. The Message covers reports ' from the Secre tary of War and the A ttornerGeneral, and does not otherwise ' respond to the Senate resolution except by referring to the annual Message of the President. The Secretary of War explains that Jefferson Davis is held on charges of treason,. of inciting the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, and of starving Union prisoners of war ; that the President de - sired to have him first tried fot treason, and that the Attorney-General advised Virginia as the most proper place for such trial, but that ChietJustioe Chase declines to hold a court within the limits of that circuit. The Attorney-General Mates the substance of the li tin ion heretofore given by him to the idehelt there the . matter is left,- ' 7 ..k a Ix ova repo l saionti proceed ings appears a omentlioilt Judge Mel -4.8 ley, of, Phila phis , t o : effect that Presidit.TaliXsouinfo him that he was in favor of nitgro suffrage in the Dis ,7- tript of Columbia. ,„ t opposite of thh is claimed by pendent of the Lohisville Mei% w dispatch da ted, the 13tb, says : -- . " l in conversing with - members of Con gress today the President expressed him selfl,u strongly oppose‘to forcing negro suffrage on the people 'fif the District of Columbia.", • Now, which Is right! Ai Congress is de termined to pass the bill at my rate, we trust they will do it soon, lb that we may be able to ascertain positixely where the President does - stand on this important issue. Fawtm of the Observer, are you doing what you can to extend its circulation and influence ? ?Ave you any conservative neighbors who ought to take the paper and do not ? If so, make it your business to see them at once, and urge them to place their names upon o.u• list, and do not rest contented until you—know that they have done It. Democratic papers in this secants have a "hard road to travel" at the beet, and it should beithe constant slut of all who feel an interest in our cause, to give them all the encouragement possible. Shame upon the Democrat.who has not spunk and liberality enough to sustain his local paper, at such a period an the present especially. . _ The correspondentof the New York IliStaut writes pathetically from Washing ton: The statement that no Covna:moan hope for official. favor or patios*. in 11 least twoDepartmeista of the9overnmont unless he shall disclose for at is termed the Preeideit's pot* is 4:event* cbou latinS *NI indignantly conifiwkie4 upon by members here. The announoe went boldly made.. in at least one of the Departments, it is believed will; from the tempev it haassvoked, vyork its own cure. We do not know how much reliance is to be placed on this assertioU,Ant the fact that it accords with the genead expecta tion and desire among Democrats cannot be denied. The failure hitherto to pursue this decisive comae has been of serious detriment to Mr. Johnson among those who honestly wish to support the main features of his reconstruction policy. Peo ple could not easily be persuaded of the sincerity of those professions which were not re-enforced by corresponding meas ures ; and the country hesitated to accord full faith to the President's desire of res toration, while he caressed and employed persons who were notoriously inimical to his avowed purposes'. The seeming in consistency of principle and practice ex posed Mr. Johnson to suspicions of sinis ter design. It . is a recognised principle in Ameri can polities, that the subordinates of an Administration must conform their eon- duct to the measures of the Chief Exam aye ; and it is expected of a new Presi dent that he should distribute his patron age among the members of his party. The circumstances of Mr. Johnson's accession to the Presidency were such as to forbid an instant and absolute application of this rule; and.he has extended a very unusu al indulgence to the contumacy of those whose official existence 1s suspended on his pleasure. Now, nobody is disposed to quarrel with the President for his charity toward political adversaries, so long as their presence in power does not operate to the injury of the publio welfare; but when they employ the inftuenoes of office to thwart the Executive and to defeat measures of the greatest moment to the country, we have a right to demand that they be made impotent for mischief by dismissal from place. That there are in dividual members of the present admin. irtration who dissent from the President's distinctive policy, and exert themselves to obstruct its enocess, is too notorious for desist. It is universally understood that there is at least one such person in the Cabinet. ` The effect of this impression on the popular mind is not only to beget a mistrust of me Johnson's candor and consistency, but to repel the sympathy and support of those who approve the Executive policy and desire to promote its success. And then, while the Adminis tration is undermined by its own retainers, its equivocal conduct alienates the' coati. denoe of those Democratic masses who are eager to restore the , integrity of the Union. . The example of Andrew Jackson should not be lost on Andrew Johnion. The "old hero" not only insisted that his (Mind should bo a unit, but exacted the most rigid vinformity to his views from every subor dinate of the Administration. Hence, the splendid success ,of his Presidential term, and hence, too, the vivid impression of his ascendant character which is still as secieted with the name of Jackson. The most rigid exertion of bis individuality cannot expise Mr. Johnson to greater era ,barrassments than were provoked by the fierce independence of his famous prede omen but the relentless will of Jackson triumphed over every obstacle, dissipated all opposition, and conducted his Acimin istrstion not only to a brilliant but a most• pacific conclusion. When he retired from power he delivered the Presidency to the person of his choice, with as little resist ance and as universal .an acquiescence as if be had the nomination of his suocessor. Will not Mr. Johnson be instructed by the wisdom and firmness of the indatnita ble Jackson ? It is impoesible that in the assertion of the Executive independence he should encounter the formidable con federacy of talent and interest which op posed the administration of Jackson.— Thad. Stevens is not a Henry Clay ; nor is Oberlin Sumner a Calhoun. No National Bank rears its portentous front in the path of the Executive. The people are altogether as favorably inclined to Presi dent Johnson as they mere - to Andrew Jackson, and they only await the signal of his rupture with the Republican faction to accord him their unqUaliffed support.— Is not the President sufficiently conver sant with the instincts of the masses to know that a man never becomes popular but by the exhibition of the heroic virtues of character I They have ho sympathy with the nature that timidly shrinks from responsibility ; they - abhor the arts of the time-serving politician. All their admi ration ii reserved for him who boldly de fies his enemies and grasps his olject by the vigor of his arm. "Oh I for one hour" of Andrew Jackson. How would Sumner shrink • abashed under the fiown of his awful indignation I Even the brazen ef frontery of Stevens would be cowed by the majesty of that brave old man ! The curs of faction would be silenced by his presence, and he siould'ecinie the nation to a transport of enthusiasm for the Union and his own undaunted Administration. Ix Tax lower bons* of fkragress, en Monday, Mr. Broomall (disunion radical) of the Christer district in this State, offer ed the following : ' Whereas, All just pyernment derives its powers from . the consent of the gaystrnod ; and whereas, the bast way of obtaining, that consent Is theskigh the ballot box ; and whereas, the *bite men of the Dis trict, of Columbia have by that means de cree. that in their opinion the black men of the Diltriel should not be allowed the right of suffrage ; therefore, Beahmd, That the UstrAt of fetuabia Corismittee be instructed to inquire into the expediency of ordering an election at which the blacks of -the District shall de cide by ballot whether ,in their opinimi the white men oft the Distriot should be allowed the right of engage: The Houiri tabled it by s Tote ''of nays to 12 yeas.

The act of Congress of the 21st March, 1864, provided that on the adoption of the Constitution the State should be admitted.

Tim Washington correspondent of the Tribune gives the following interesting item of information : A Republican editor, applying at one of the, most important departments last week for the official advertising, was asked if his paper would adopt the President's policy. The intimation was made that on no other terms could official patronage be given out. On Saturday last, 'Thomas B. Florence, of the Cbustiuttiosal Union (Cop perhead) had his bills for Government ad vertising, given him by order of the Pres ident, audited and paid.' Goy.

Our readers will observe that we have given bat little space to an account of the Fenian troubles and revelations ; but it may not be uninteresting to give a mums of this last movement for Irish indepen dence, which, like all the former ones, seems about to be sacrificed in the house of its friends. No organisation was ever formed under more favorable auspices than the Fenian Brotherhood, which is now entertaining the-world with a daily record of its extra ordinary dissensions. It was ushered into existence about eight years since, by Col. John 011abeney, who, in five years. suc ceeded in establishing ." Circles," or branches of the organizstion in every pert of the United Statrs, the Canadss end Australia. The great principle in volved—resistance to the British usurpa tion and misrule in Ireland—is one to which the Celt in every land is passion ately devoted. John (I'Mshoney, aware of this hereditary hate to the Saxon, at once took advivatage of the recess which followed the abortive Irish insurrection in 1848, in which be took part, to inaugurate another. In 1857 be called several public meetings in New York and other cities, and In all his addreeses he stated that the time was almost ripe fcir the regeneration of Ireland. and his coentrymen very where should be urged to contribute the means necessary to send an army from America to the most vulnerable portions of that country, in order to strike a suo cessful blow for the liberty of their father land. These addresses also referred to the weakness of England, and the " easy job" before the hosts of patriots who would pledge their lives and fortunes to rid the old_ land of the ,footsteps of the invader. The Irish nature, ever credulous when the story of English perfidy is proclaimed at the divide or the rostrum. was fired afresh by the spiritctirring addresses which they heard from' OWthon•T and his friends, and they'subecribed liberally to• wards the movement. The war with the South did not interrupt it, for the pailous e u x=n of th e ourrosey enabled the ' • of its supporters to sal:scribe more liberally to it then they could in the days of hard cub. Oldahoney then es tablished his headquarters in the upper floor of the house, No. 22 Duane street, is this city, and in these unpretending &wt. ments received various delegates from Ireland—among them James Stephens, who recently escaped from the Richmond Prison, in Dublin, where he was incarcer- ated on a charge of treason. Stephens was appointed " Head Centre" of all the organizations of Fenian! In that country, and he proceeded, as such, to prepare for theprospettive revolution. It was found advisable, however, to desist from all such efforts till the late war with the South had closed; and when hostilities ceased be tween the two sections of this country. the preparations for the war in Ireland were resumed. In the meantime, Col. O'Mahoney con tinued to 'receive large amounts from Irishmen in Australia,. England, Ireland, Scotland and the whole American contin ent, till the aggregate sum is stated to have reached over eight millions of dol lars I Then the difficulties of the organi sation commenced. A Congress of the Brotherhood was convened in September In Philadelphia, to reconcile the diffitr ewes which had arisen relative to the control of the organization, and the dis bursement of its moneys. Subsequently Col. O'Mahoney, having so many millions in his hands, decided on leaving his hum ble quarters in Duane street, and with the Treasurer. B. Doran Killian. leased .the splendid Moffat Mansion in Union Square at $l,OOO per month for a year and a half, and lodged $5,000 additional with the owner as a security against any possible damage to the building. The Mansion was then divided' . into War and Nay,' De partments, and a Civil Department, to. tether with cne for the sale of one mil lion of " bonds of the Irish Republic." The Senate of the Brotherhood, which was formed by the Congress in Philadel phia, at once repudiated the extravagance of O'Ms.honey, and impeached him on various charges of malfeasance in office. On the other hand, Col. O'Mahoney and B. Doran Killian were accused of with holding certain moneys of the Brother hood, and depositing them in the hands of Mr. Robert O'Rourke, a pressman in the Tribune office, who, as alleged, em ployed Mr. Sinclair, the publisher of that paper, to use it to speculate in stooks in Wall s reel. It should be stated here that ten of the thirteen members of the Senate deposed Col. O'Mahoney, and ap pointed Col. Roberts their President, as his suocesior. In this state of Atkin, Col. O'Maboney called the Fenian Congress together, which- is still in session in this city. The Fenian Circles in the Week however, are not represented, and but 'half the dele gates entitled to admission are present. The Congress is controlled by the Dele gates of the Manhattan District, under the leadership of Col. (Mahoney. ' tso far the,majority of the Delegates have en dorsed the 14Itter.—/r. Y.

The sooner the test Is made and Congress seta about legislating for the suffering , inter ests of the country and its white men, the-better.
