The FIRST "IRlsH CoNGREss.o--
The convention of the Fenian Brother
hood, or Irish Congress, as it is called
by the local papers; has just completed
it's session in Chicago. There were
present three hundred and twenty-five
delegates from all parts Of the United
States and from Ireland and the Cana
das. The resolutions adopted declare
that the object of the organization is
"the regeneration of our race from ac-
tual extinction" The spirit and de-
sign Of tho movement are further indi-
Gated by the following remarks of John
OMahoney, head center of the Broth
erhood in the United States, in deliver
lug his retiring address
He said that he had been allied wi tn
the organiza ton for more than four
years, and that he had labored patient.
ly, hopefully, but with suffering. The
organization, from a nucleus in the city
of New York, had extended it's ramif-
cations throughout the entire land. In
the British provinces, in the United
States, north, south, east and west, and
in California, it had grown to power
full and organized body. During these
years lie had endured much misrepre-
sentation, from which he had suffered
acutely, and which somewhat impeded
his labors. Relying in the confidence
which the BrotA erhood reposed in him
he had never refuted the foul ISLANDERS,
preferring to pass them by and allow
the events attained in his labors in the
organizations to rebuke his vilifiers. He
now looked upon the representatives of
that organization which sat in eonven-
tion-the first Irish Congress ever held
in the United States. There were
many in number, and men Of position,
education, influence and standing-rep-
resentatives of whom no State need
feel ashamed. They had come togeth-
er, and, organizing, had created for
themselves constitution and govern
ment. And he was there to render an
account Of his work, TO make plain its
existing condition and wants
and to resign into their hands the al
most absolute power with which he had
been vested during the past four years.
He should take his seat in the conven-
tion simple brother.

A HUMILIATING CONFE sslON.
The administration organ at Wash

The administration organ at Wash,
ington contains the following:
"The obstructions in the harbor Of
Charleston are of such nature that
they cannot be removed by any appli-
ances of ours; and they are Of too for
midable character to Justify hazard
Gus attempt by our ironclads to pene-
trate further into the harbor, and with
in range of the rebel guns
Why was this fact not ascertained
before, and millions of dollars saved to
the government In the classic lam
guage of Mr.. Lincoln we have been
"pegging away for three months, when
we ought to have ascertained in one
fourth of the time that the place was
imprcgnable and saved our money and
men. 1t must be extremely humilia'
ting at this late day to acknowledge our
inability to take Charleston.
We shall look for the withdrawal Of
Gilmore and Dahlgren very soon.
Thus ends the desperate assault on
the rebel strong ghold,

VANDALISM.
From the North Iowa Times.

Judge Murdock, of this city. was one
Of the army election commissioners.
While on his mission he wrote some
excellent letters to the News. In a
late one from Vicksburg he vents the
indignation which every MAN must
feel in witnessing what he described.
Murdock has an eye for the beautiful
trees, shrubbery and floral gems are
his special admiration, and we do not
wonder that he almost swears, in type,
at the wanton destruction of such
splendid city ornaments. He says:
Costly edi6ces, rural retreats. deco
rated halls, all perish through wanton-
ness. All along the beautiful streets

THE GRAVE OF DOUGLAS.
BY PACK BENJAMIN.

Douglas lies buried by the solemn shore
OfMichigan, the lake he loved so we'll
And it's resounding waters are his knell,
And his lament their never ceasing roar.
No monumental marble marks the spot,
No stone engraved with one recording line,
But rude fence around the narrow lot.
Which holds his corse, whose spirit was divine
Is all that bids the passing traveller pause
Der one who deemed it glorious to spend
His life in service of his country's cause,
And who was firm and faithful to the end.
He needs no stone; the lake exaIts his fame
And every wind that stirs it speaks his name

Mr.. VAN WICK, a Republican Con

Mr.. VAN WICK, a Republican Con-
gressman, SAID in February last:
The mania for stealing seems to
have run all through the relations of
Government, almost from the General
to the .drummer boy. From those
nearest the throne of power to the
merest tide waiter, nearly every man
who deals with the Government seems
to feel or desire that it would not lon
ge- survive, and that each had right
to plunder while it lived. They VIC
late plain provisions Of the law on the
false and shallow pretext that public
cxisence requires it.

Nip the shoots of arbitrary power
in bud, Is the only maxim which can
ever preserve the liberties Of any peo-
pie. When the people give way to de-
ceivers, betrayers and destroyers press
upon them so fast shat there is no re-
sisting afterwards. The nature Of tho
encroachment is to grow every day
more encroaching; like cancer it eats
faster and faster every hour. john

]
able nor redeemable, has yet answere:
as convenient substitute for money
At the first, many of the wisest fnan
ciers among us doubted its expediency.
while others clamored for it as the only
method of escaping a disastrous failure
Both classes, howevor, agreed in this
that the issue was to serve only for the
emergency, and to be redeemed in coin
or retired by funding into bonds which
should promise coin, at no very distant
future. No one demanded that it
shold take the place of money except
by representation; and even this char
acter was conceded to it reluctantly,
on account of It's immediate inconvert.
lbility. 1t is true that many who op.
posed it, didso because of their fears
that, like other unfaithful representa-
tives, it might turn against the sub
stance Of which it was but the shadow,
and drawing the coin from the country,
usurp for itself the place Of power.
These fears were not altogether un-
founded; and we have now host of
writer's and speakers throughout the
land who are openly advocating this
substitution. "Paper money circu
lates," they say, mot because it repre-
sent coin, but because it represents
commodities and services Danish,
therefore, all coin, and let us have paper
for money! Gold circulates and is
valued only because it will buy houses,
and lands and the toll Of the laborer.
1t therefore represents commodities
and services Now, as paper cur
rency will buy the same thing, it also
represents them, and need not therefore
be converted into coin. This is the
argument. But why will gold buy
houses, and lands, and toll Because.
to 90 back to our definition, it has an
intrinsic value, easily ascertalned,
which is recognized throughout the
world. We showed, the other day, why
the precious metals had such value, and
how the vanity of the race, and the love
Of personal adornment, could be depend
ed on, as proved by all history, to per-
petuate this popular estimate. But
enough for the present, that gold has
such value. Why will paper money al
so buy these commodities and services?
Not because it represents them,' but
because 1t promises in some way to
procure certain fixed quantity of gold
which will always command them in
the market. Strike cut the gold, and
what becomes of the promise ? Strike
out the promise, and how long will the
worn and soiled representative of COM
modities be exchangcable for dinner?
The precious metals are something
more than the representative of COM
modities and service. They are COM
modities themselves, with a known in
trinsic value. The man or the govern
ment who gives out paper promise
for dollar, creates debt to that am
cunt. The paper,is not a dollar, and
the only value is in its promise the
more faith which is felt in this promise
the nearer it will be to the real dollar
in marketable value as that faith
wanes, the value decreases, and the
fewer commodities it will buy. But the
issue of "a coined dollar, instead Of Gre
ating debt. discharges it. 1t is the
substance, carrying its value with it
everywhere !; and is the standard by
which all other material values are de-
tcrmined. Journal Of Commerce.

Of Vicksburg are shade trees of every
name, to which daily are tied horses
and mules until they are stripped of
bark and wither and die. Not shade
tree will be left in the city to put forth
its leaves next year. a most beautiful
hedge of red cedars is utterly destroy
ed by the mules that are tied to it to
strip 1T of it's bark: The most beauti-
full and tasty flower gardens were going
in the same way. On every plantation
outside the city the same spirit of des-
truction RACES. Orchards are cut down
and everything planted to make the
earth look lovely is uprooted or despoil,
ed.
The government may think that the
more destruction, the more vandalism
that is committed here on this people
and their property, the better they will
love the Union when they return. 1t
may be we'll enough to try the expert
ment, but I fear the mistake. My
knowledge Of human nature teaches me
better and as an humble citizen Of this
greatrepublic I enter my protest .gainst
laying this country a wide waste Of
ruins, so that neither soldier, negro,
Union man, or rebel can take any good
from it.
