THE FENIAN BROTHEHHO0D-
BISHOP DUGGAN.


The position of the members OF the Roman
Catholic Church in this city and diocese, who
arc also members Of the Fenlan Brotherhood,
is somcwhat unusual in that particular church,
whose people We arc not accustomed to see
offering any resistance to the dictates or au-
thority of their pastors or bishops. We have
stated, heretofore, TINT the object of the or
gunization is "the fostering and sustaining
the cause of Irish nationality and indcpen-
dcncc-" So far as We can see, In this there is
no criminal purpose or design. The conven-
ton Of the brotherhood which assembled In
this city recently, in the second resolution
emphatica1ls declared, "That VIC, the repre-
sentatives Of the Fenian Brotherhood, in the
United statcs, do hereby solemnly declare,
without limit or reservation, our entire ale
glance to the Constitution and laws Of the
United States Of America"
Our impression WIS, until within the past
few days, that none but 1ishmen ware I'D
missable to the 1anke, but we find It is COM
posed OF men Of all countries and all creeds
who ore friendly to Ireland's Independence.
Tic pledge of membership Is as follows:
,o1cr 1fa' f9ufhfa I'D Eonesi man thst e Vii
land from the yoke Of England. and for the estab.
ljahmcut Of a FREQ and Independent Government
on lsiah soil"
The Bishop, In his circular, read in all the
Catholic churches last 6unday, condemns the
brotherhood for two reasons; firstly, because
he says there is IN oath and secret some
where In the Society that hc cannot find out,
md which he ought to know as Catholic
Bishop. Secondly, he condemns 1t because
It contemp1ates, in certain events, depar-
tunc from moral force, and resort to no
l. 1ee, force Of anns, and consequently b'oodshed
he commands all his people to dis"
continue their membership In such society,
nd In the cases Of those who do not comply

.ici2a1ion In the sacraments Of the Church.

The Gold Medal for Gen. Grant.
TVfQm the N. Y. Evening PQst.1

Leutze is making design for the gold me-
dal ordered by Congress Tor presentation to
Gen. Grant, In commemorntion Of his victo-
ries over the rebels. The diverse Of the me-
dnl will consist ofa profile likeness of the
hero, surrounded BY q wreath Of laurel. His
name and the year Of his victories arc also
inscribed upon 1t, and the whole is sur
rounded by a galaxy Of stars. The designfor
the reverse is original, appropriate and beau-
tilul. 1t is the figure Of Fame seated in n
graceful attitude oD the American eagle,
which, with outspread wings, seems prepar-
ing for flight. In her right hand she holds
the symbolical trump, and in her left scroll
On which are inscribed the names Of the gal-
lnnt chiefs various battles, viz: Corinth,
Vicksburg, Mississippi river, and Chattanoo
ga. On her head is a helmet, o1namcntcd in
Indian f:1shion, with feathers radiatipg from
it. In front Of the eagle, its breast resting
against it, Is shield emb1azoned with the
sia1s md bare- Just underneath this group,
their stems crossing each other, are single
sprigs Of the pine and the p1lm, typical of
the North and South. Above the figure of
fame, In curved liue, is the motto, "Pro-
claim Liberty throughout the Lind" The
edge is surrounded, like the diverse, with a
circle OF stars offs style peculiar to the Byzan-
tine period, and rarely seen except In illumt-
mated MSS. Of that age. These stars are more
in number than the existing states-ofcourse,
including those Of the SOutt-thcreby sug-
costing further additions in the future to the
Union

A correspondent Of the Louisville Journal
furnishes the following interesting facts reln-
tive to the Nashville, (Tenn-, Post Office:
The extent Of the business done at this
Office will be seen from the following data:
During the last fiscal year, there were. sold
stamps to the nmount of one hundred and
forty thousand dollars. There were mailed
during the same time over six millions seven
hundred thousand letters. There have passed
through the office in the same period over
one hundred thousand pictures in cases, and
ten thousand bushels Of newspapers.
The expenses Of tho office, though neceBsa-
rily enormous, have, Notwithstanding been
so curtailcd and abridged as to realize to the
Government the handsome sum Of twenty
five thousand dollars
During the delay Of the mails some time
since, caused By distractions on the road,
there accumulated at this Office over thirty
bushels Of daguerreotypes and ambrotypes in
ten days.
By an accident lately, mails were detained,
and one hundred and twenty thousand letters,
the accumulation Of three days, were to be
rchandled and remailcd from o'clock in the
evening to o'clock in the morning. A better
evidence Of the efficiency and industry Of the
employees could not be adduced than the fact
that the mails we're ready at the designated
hour,
