THE UNION RECORD. OEOVILLE, SATURDAY. OCT. 21. As Eye os the Fenians.

New Turk Herald says a number of detectives from London arrived in the last steamer, with special instructions, it is understood, to keep an eye on the Fenians, and inform the English Gov eminent, from time to time, of whatever facts may come to their knowledge in regard to the Order. One or more of these detectives, it is said, left for Chicago, where it is believed the Fenians are organized in greater strength than anywhere else in America excepting in New Tork and its vicinity. It is understood that the Fenians have lately adopted more secrecyin their communications and actions than was formerly observed. The Chicago Republican says that Dick Turner, the former keeper of Libby Prison, is reduced from a weight of IGS pounds to a mere scarcely 100 pounds. About two months since, he effected his escape from the dungeon in which he was confined in Libby, and after three diligent search was found in a house on Oregon li ill, Richmond.

He has since been confined in a cell eight by twelve, seen by and seeing only the surgeon, who daily visits him. lie is furnished with a Bible, a copy of Shabspeare, and a few magazines for reading. Coolies for the Socth. Boyle, for some lime engaged in transporting China men to Havana, is now in Mobile, proposing to furnish the South with such numbers of these people as may be required, believing that for either plantation or bouse servants, they will afford the best and cheapest labor in the world. They can be hired for from S4to per month, with board, and four suits of cloth ing a year.

The Mobile papers recommend the matter to the early consideration of planters and others. Funeral ok General Wright. tu neral of General Wright and wife will take place in Sacramento, on Sunday probably. It is known that it was the intention of General Wright to make Sacramento his home when military duty would permit, and it was therefore deemed most filling that he and his should find sepulcher in the Capital of the State. The bodies will be interred in the State plat at the Sacramento cemetery.

A National Race Proposed. Sacra meuto Union says that Theodore Winters, the owner of Norfolk, contemplates taking his horse to the East, for the purpose of getting up a grand national horse State to enter its best horse at or 810,000 entrance fee. Norf.dk will in such a contest represent California. It is believed that some sis or seven States would in such a race compete for the stakes. Negro In Connecticut, a few weeks ago, says the Appeal, the question of negro suffrage was submitted to people and voted down.

Some Union men voted for it, and some against it. Is the Union party committed, and what's the harm done? If sub milled to the people in this State, it would be voted down. A party or man in favor of sub mission is not committed for or against negro suffrage. The Sacramento Union, and several other papers, express their disapproval of system based on the pretty but impracticable theory of choosing judicial officers when the public mind is free from political Tbe separation of the Judicial from other State elections has certainly proved a useless expense, as arc the only things that will call out a full popular true test of patriotism and capacity.

The Judicial election, on Wednesday last, passed off very quietly throughout the State, so far as heard from, and there is evidently a great falling off in the vote as compared with that polled at the September election. There is no donbt, however, of the re election of Judge Sanderson to the Supreme Beech by a majority of perhaps ten'thonsand.

The Conspiracy Trials.

We have received two pamphlets, entitled respectively, "Argument of John A. Bingham. Special Judge Advocate, in reply to the arguments of the several counsel for Mary K. Surratt, David hi. ilerold, Lewis Payne, George A.

Atzerodt, Michael O'Langhlin, Samuel A. MuJJ, hidward Spangler, and Samuel Arnold, charged with Conspiracy and the Murder of Abraham Lincoln, late President of theUniled June 27 and 38,1865, before the Military Commission, Washington, D. and "Opinion on the Constitutional Power of the Military to Try and the Assassins of the Attorney General James From the argument of Judge Bingham, which occupies 122 pages, we make the following brief extracts "The government, in preferring Uiis charge, docs not it.diet the whole people of any State or section, but only the alleged parties to this unnatural and atrocious conspiracy and crime. The President of the Landed States, in the discharge ot bis duty as commander in chief of the army, and by virtue of the power vested in him by the Constitution and law? of the United Slates, has constituted you a military court, to bear and dctc. mine the issue joined against the accused, and has constituted you a court for no other purpose whatever.

"An existing rebellion is alleged and not denied. It is charged that in aid of this existing rebellion, a conspiracy was entered into by the accused, incited and instigated therein by the chiefs of this rebellion, to kill and nftirder the.executive officers of the government, and the commander of the armies of the United States, and that tnis conspiracy was partly ex edited by the murder of Abraham Lincoln, ami by a murderous assault upon the Secretary of Stale and counsel reply, by elaborate ar gun.enl, that although the facts be as charged, though the conspirators be numerous and at large, able and eager to complete the horrid work of assassination already begun within your military encampment, yet the successor of your murdered President is a usurper if he attempts by military lorce and martial iaw, as commander in chief, to prevent the consunuwu (ion of this traitorous conspiracy in aid of this treasonable rebellion. The civil courts, say the counsel, arc open in the District. I answer, they are closed throughout half the republic, and ware only open in this District on the day of this confederation and conspiracy, on the day of the traitorous assassination of your President, and are only open at this hour, by force of the bayonet. Docs any man suppose that if the military forces which garrison the intrenchmenls of your capital, fifty thousand strong, were all withdrawn, the rebel bands who this day infest the mountain passes in your vicinity would allow this court, or any court, to remain open in this District for the trial of these their confederates, or would permit your executive officers to discharge the trust com milled to them, for twenty four hours "At the time this conspiracy was entered into, and when this court was convened and entered upon this trial, the country was in a state of civil war.

An army of insurrectionists have, since this trial begun, shed the blood of Union soldiers in battle. The conspirator, by whose hand his co conspirators, whether present or absent, iintly murdered the President on the 14rh of last April, couid not be and was not arrested upon civil process, but was pursued by the military power of the government, captured and slain. Was this an act of usurpation a violation of the right guaranteed to that fleeing assassin by the very Constitution against which and for the subversion o( which he had conspired and murdered the President? Who in all this land is bi id enough or base enough to assert it "1 would be glad to know by what law the President, by a military force, acting only upon his military orders, is justified in pursuing, arresting, and killing one these conspirators, and is condemned for arresting in like manner, and by his order subjecting to trial, according to the laws of war. any or all of the other parties to this same damnable conspiracy and crime, by a military tribunal of tribunal. 1 may be pardoned for saying, whose integrity and impartiality are above suspicion, ard pass unchallenged even by the accused Ives." In this argument, and in the Attorney-General's opinion, the entire ground taken by the counsel for the conspirators is clearly shown to be fallacious, and the constitutionality of the trial by military commission tally established.

Sonri'k (Connecticut) B-iHctm. NEWS OF THE WEEK. A General Order, dated October 9th, issued by Lieutenant General Grant, announces an important distribution of troops, both regular and volunteers.

All volunteer cavalry east of the Mississippi river will be at once mustered out of service. All seacoast forts south of Fortress Monroe, except Forts Taylor and Jefferson (Florida), will be garrisoned by col ored troops, the requisite number of regiments having been selected for this purpose. All other colored troops will be mastered out of service. The Third (regular) Artillery wiil garrison the forts in Maine. New Hampshire and Massachusetts The First (regular) Artillery will be stationed in New York barbor the Fourth (regular) Artillery at For's Dela ware, McHenry, Washington and Foote the Fifth at Fortress Monroe, Forts Taylor and Jefferson the Second (regular) Artillery is assigned to the Pacific coast.

The Second and Sixth Cavalry are ordered to report to Sheridan. The Fourth Regiment regular infantry is assigned to duty on the Canadian frontier. The Washington special spatch says The Post Office Department is making up its accounts for the next Congress. It ap pears that while the mail service has been sus tained by receipts for postage during the rebellion. the deficit when the mail service in the Southern States shall be resnmed will be eight millions.

The Pittsburg (Pennsylvania) Gazette says: The new House of Representatives will consist of CG Unionists and 34 Democrats. It may possibly vary one or two from this, but not more. Of the Senators elected, eight are Unionists and three Democrats. The official returns from thirty two counties show a Union gain of 2 iqpO. The thirty-two counties to hear from will probably increase the gains so as to make the actual majority in Penneylvania 23,000 or 23,000.

The latest returns from the Ohio election give General Cox, the Union candidate for Governor, 25,000 majority. Sixty Union Representatives and twenty one Senators are elected to the Legislature. A letter from Kenneth Raynor, of North Carolina, favoring the separation of the black and white races, is published. He declares that if separation is not made, the Southern States will, in ten years, lapse into barbarism. He asserts (hat the labor of the black men cannot be made available in the South in these days that public opinion is unanimously in favor of separation, ami that the same view is gaining strength rapidly over the South.

He says there will not be 2,000 bales of cotton grown in North Carolina, this year.

ANDREW JOHNSON, Indian Affairs. The special d.s patch says: The Commissioner of Indian Affairs has received a communication from tbe principal Chief of the Choctaw cation and Governor of the Chicasaw nation, stating that their people, to some extent, are disorganized, and need charity in tbc-ir socfbl and political condition. They that pending the nego tiatioa and ratification of treaties now under consideration, some means be taken by the United States to secure their people domestic tranquility and protection against outside aggression.

They state farther that, in concluding an abandonment of tbe right of property in slaves, they wish to be considered as abandoning all interest in the present and future welfare of the negroes. If the slaves are to be secured their freedom by the United States Government, they desire that it shall be on such terms as shall make their freedom as valuable to them as it can be, consistent with the rights of their late owners, and the peace and well being of the community. To this end. they ask that a competent agent of the Bureau be sent to each nation, with instructions to provide for and exercise proper control over the freedmen.

of Tennessee, tells the people of this State that "nothing is so likely to hasten the era of negro voting as opposition to Government measures by the whites of the This is the exact truth, says the Oregonian. If tbe whites will do their duty to the Government they can reject or have negro seff-age as they may desire. But if they continue Government mast seek support wherever it can be found. Southern mad-capa agitated slavery until they abolished it; it cow remains to be seen whether they are determined to have negro suffrage as well. Down, eminent engineer of San Francisco, formerly connected with the coast survey, says that city has sunk three inches since the great earthquake.

Does he measure from the stars The Yosemite Calamity. We made mere mention of the Yosemite boiler explosion in las: week's issue. It was a most horrible, tbongh. it seems np to this time, unaccountable affair. It occurred on Thursday of last week, at Rio Vista.

The Union's special reporter says As the Chrysopolis, at six o'clock last night, on her downward trip, passed alongside the wreck of the Yosemite. at Rio Vista, the latter appeared merely as if she had lost only that portion of her upper works forward of her smoke stack. A closer inspection confirmed the first view, for on her lower forward deck as many as three horses con'd be seen standing quietly iu their places, while above them the shattered timbers seemed so closely interwoven that the equities appeared to owe their safety to their ccb house like covering. Abaft the wbeelhouses no damage whatever was done, the exploding boilers lifting forward and up wardly, but fiilirg the is called the Chinese steam sufficient to kill the thirty -Chinese therein instantaneously, as is evident from the fact that their bodies appeared as if they bad been deluged with steam. The explosion demolished the guards, ai threw out the pilot-house, the Cap tain's office, the bar and the clerk's tffice.

The Yosemite left Rio Vista last evening, in tow of the Chrysopolis, for San Francisco. The following are the names of the white men killed, whose bodies have been recovered: W. S. Sutherland, Agent for the Bank of British North Columbia, and Minor Moore, bis traveling companion: James S. Fallon, John E.

Myers, T. Major and Wm. Stephenson, of Maguire's theatrical troupe; Louis Lillie, supposed to be a German Henry N'. Dakin; Charlie Jacks; C. C.

Jacks: 11. Regcnsburgher; Marcus Champion; Isaac Harris, of Austin, Nevada, on his way home to the States; bis pockets were cut out by robbers; Manual Mcndoca, a Portuguese. John B. Carrington, a Justice of the Peace, arrested two scoundrels who had been engaged iu cutting out pockets and robbing the bodies of the dead. Pat.

Farron, a deck hand on the Yosemite and one of the arrested, had on his person five watches and about S3OO. the most of the money being in cloth packages and marked in Chinese characters. The other robber, who gave his surname as Maguire, was also a deck hand on the Yosemite. He had on his persons two watches and several hundred dollars in treasure, the principal portion of which was also inclosed iu cloth packages and inscribed in Chinese characters. These two robbers were examined before a Justice and sent to Suistiu to jail.

Justice Carrington also succeeded in finding slowed away in the forecastle of the Yosemite about in coin and away in old boots and shoos. Most of this coin and dust was also in cloth packages and marked in Chinese. The following incidents of the explosion are gives by the reporter: Captain Poole was in his usual place in making the landing, which is on the hurricane deck forward, directly over the smoking saloon. He was thrown into the air, and the next thing he remembers was that he found himself forward on the promenade deck, giving orders. He had in his right hip pocket, when he went up, about siso, and iu bis right vest pocket a gold magic cased watch.

When he came down, he either money or watch, and the only portion of the watch he has bees able to find is the small circular rim which held the crystal, and that was found among the ruins which were deposited on the site of the barber Stephen T. G. ge, of Virginia City (a Lincoln Presidential Elector last year), was standing on the upward forward di ck, aud went up. He says l.e recognized, hile in the air. the pilot ot the boat, and the pilot also recognized him and mentioned the circumstance afterward.

Gage alighted on his left knee, contusing it slightly, but rose to his feet immediately, when lulling limbers struck him on the head, com pclling him to kneel again. He then made tracks for terra Grma. with bis right baud badly cut and lacerated. A little boy was blown clear ashore, and picked np dead. Captain Agcr, of San Francisco, went up with some money in his pockets, but be came down without any.

It appears by the testimony of the Chief Engineer, aud the finding of the jury, hat the disaster is supposed to have been due to the defective quality of the English iron used in the construction of the boilers. The Chief Engineer also expressed the opinion that the Inspector's method of testing boilers has a tendency to injure the iron. The San Francisco Alta makes the following comment on the explosion We think that a most rigid and thorough examination into the causes of this disaster should be instituted, and if it should be ascertained that it was the result of carelessness', the utmost punisbmt nt which the permits should be upon the guilty parties. If a dtfieiency of water was the cause, the boiler, if it still remains in the hull, will reveal the fact. It is a duty which the community owes to it self to see that this last terrible catastrophe is sifted to the bottom.

Steamboats blow up nowhere with the frequency that prevails in the United States. For this there must be a cause. That cause should be discovered, and removed, if possible. Toe Yosemite suff-rers remaining at the Court House, says the Sacramento Union of Wednesday, seem to be doing remarkably well. deaths have occurred there since Saturday.

They receive constant attention from the Howard Benevolent Society, aided by a dozen or more ladies, me of whom are in attendance at ail hours iu Jay and evening. more bodies are to be found on the Yosemite. A careful inspection of her boilers shows them to be made of iron of the most unequal thickness. In spots the shell is not thicker than ordinary cassimere cloth. The safe of Wells, Fargo A blown off the Yosemite, has been found and secured.

It lav in 50 feet of water, quite a distance from the boat landing. Killed bt a Rattlesnake. A little Spanish boy residing over the bay. says the Bulletin, was bitten by a rattlesnake on Sunday morning and d.ed before night. The boy had been playing out of doors and the father was suddenly attracted by his scream-, and upon going to his as-itance found the snake with his fangs fastened in me boy's tongue.

The reptile was killed. It is three and one-half feet long and has seven rattles. For the Xiookr. Black Hawk (Col.)

We give, from what is considered good authority, the following explanation The term Fenian is derived from the Gaelic word Fiann, which is inflected Ftiane in the possessive case.

Dr. Keating speaks of them "They were nothing more than members of a body of soldiers maintained by the Irish kings for the purpose of guarding their territories and upholding their authority. In ordinary times, the Fiann. or Fenian, consisted of three legions.

In each legion there were 3.000 men. I bis was when the men of Ireland were at peace. But in war. whether for the support id the Dal Kiada in Scotland or against foreign aggression on their own soil, there were usually seven legions in the Fiann.
