The Fenian Fund.

(From Punch.)
it is not often that we produce a mere article of news,
without comment of our own, but we feel it the duty of
every English journalist to give as much publicity as pos-
sible to the strange and disgraceful facts revealed in the
following list of American contributions to the Fenian
fund. The list itself was found among the papers upon
the person of one of the Americans who was arrested in the
Australian, on the 14th inst., and has been published
among the evidence taken at the Castle. Only the gravest
considerations would induce us to depart from the ordinary
custom of this journal in regard to news, but in presence
of the impending crisis the case is exceptional.
Contributions received, or promised, in New York,
Washington, and Boston, to the Fund in aid of the Irish

GENERAL BUTLER ON RECONSTRUCTION.—The
New York _Herald states that General Howard entertained
an audience at the Union League Rooms in Washington
on the 6th instant. A statement was received by proxy
from General Butler, who was expected to be present,
giving a few peculiar views upon reconstruction. Ho
favored the confiscation of all Southern lands travelled
over by our armies, and colonising them with discharged
soldiers. He anticipated that the first WI for help from
the South would be from former slaveholders rather than
freedmen, and intimated that in such a case Massachusetts -
would be among the most active States in furnishing
assistance.
