THE FENIANS MELTING.

Ofall the 2oduttauns that have come
out of American movements to ''liber-
ate Ireland" Mr.. John OMahony is the
most complete. And his man Gillian,
who challenges n-combatants, is n
pduthdun worthy Of the companionship
of the fools who style themselves the
Irish Republic. The Philadelphia Fe-
alan Congress is still fresh in the MEM
DRY of our readers. twill be recollected
that that convOcation established the
"Republic," made John O'MahOny
"Prcsident," organized Senate and
q House of Representatives, and execu-
tive departments with secretaries. The
Executive" hired house on Union
Square, New York, and have been play
ing government for several weeks after
the most approved fashion. All this
would be harmless enough, if John
O'NIahony and his centres were the
victims; but since they have nothing to
lose, it is time that that "republic" were
upset. It seems that the "head centre''
and the "senate" are at lOggerheads,
and that the O'Mahony has posted the
indictments" The story is this: The
Fenian Senate, as it is called, which is
now in session in New York, has adopt
ed resolution warning the Brother
hood and the public against taking six
ty-eight thousand dollars worth OF
Fenian bonds which the Senate is in
formed are to be issued illegally; and
some of these bonds the Senate says
have already been sold. The difficulty
is understood TO have grown up in this
manner: The Fenian Congress at Phila-
delphia appointed an agent to sign the
bonds, but that agent did not act, and
another man signed them under the au-
thority of the President of the Brother
hood and the Finance Department of
the "Irish Republic" which is in opera
ton in New York. The Senate gave no
authority to issue them in this manner;
and thatbody in its manifesto pronounces
the sale of the bonds fraud, and says
il will treat the issue rs illegal. This
action called out John O'Mahony, the
President of the Brotherhood, who has
issued card against the "malcontents"
of the Senate, i'm these words:
HEapouiRTERs r. D.. New York, Dec. !.
TO The Members Of The Ftnion brotherhood:
You will have seen in the journals of
this date the self-written and self-pub-
lished condemnation of the long-timed
indictments who have met in this city

Of the Alexandria constitution, having
reference to the removal of certain dsa-
bilities to the end that certain persons
may hold Office, and four Senators, now
out in the cold, by virtue of constitution
al restrictions, may be enabled to take
their seats. One element of this article
of the constitution involves the question
of negro suffrage, and hence the pro-
longed talk over the subject after 1T had
passed the Senate. The opposition to
negro suffrage is total, and the debate
elected a feeling of probability that a
observation-disclosures will be called
at an early day. The bill bearing the
amendment had passed to a third read
ing in the House before the members
woke up to sense of what they deemed
great danger. A reconsideration was
had, and the bill was finally committed
to the judiciary Committee for action
and report. ar

The usury law in this state should be
repealed. IT was Intended, we suppose,
for moral purposes, like the liquor law
and other cOntriyances Of inexperienced
law-givers. 1t only serves to embar-
rass the borrower and compel him to
pay enormous interests on loans. We
have heard of charges as high rs eight
and twelve per cent month asked and
given for the use of money. Repeal

The disorganized condition of the col
ored masses Of Virginia is occasioning
much alarm among the planters, and We
understand that Il movement is to be
made in the Legislature, with view of
securing the passage of law, authoriz-
ing the reorganization of the militia.
But we do not see that this law would
remedy the matter, since the people, as
yet, are forbidden, exceptunderstringent
licenses, from keeping arms. And there
is another impe diment in the way of
the procurement of % police force of this
kind. The young volunteers who com
posed the militia of Virginia at the out
break of the war and who were forced out
of the State by the politicians to defend
South Carolina, are not likely to commit
themselves again to the keeping Of the
men who betrayed them into four years
war. We have more than once express.
I'd our own doubt that anything like a
purpose exists among the colored people
to revolt against the authorities; and we
have also remarked, that should such a
movement be made, the Union troops
were all-sufficient to suppress it. 1t
might be we'll not to dwell too much on
these matters of danger; they breed un-
wholesome fears; and lead to distrust
which is the worse frame of mind peo.
pie can get into. Light up the lamps
and be cheerful and as merry as we can.
