PHILADELPHI4, October I'm the Fenian
Congress to-day reports, from the Commit
tee on Credentials, permanent organization,
rules and regulations were received. The
Committee ON permanent organization re-
ported the following officers of the Congress,
who were elected President, John Ma
hony; Vice Presidents, Col. W. R. Roberts,
of New York; John Gibbons, Pennsylvania
P. Banson, Kentucky; Michael Jegulan,
Illinois Secretaries, R. A. Sennett, Boston;
r. A. Collins of Boston; 7. X. Barrett, In
diana; j. C. O'Brien, Rochester.
The Central Council made a report giving
the reasons for the call of this Congress, and
it was referred to a special committee of
one from each State.
The delegates to the Congress are arriving
hourly. There are now 700 or 800 present,
and the hall has been so crowded that it has
been impossible to get into proper working
order
Another mass meeting was held this even
ing, to which large numbers could not OBJ
tain admittance. Speeches were made by
B. B. DAILY, State Centre oflndiana; D. Close,
of Connecticut; j. MeDermott, New York;
Jno F. Finnety, of Chicago.
Mr.. Daley said that part of the purpose
of the organization had already been accom-
plished. They had cemented into one tie of
brotherhood and sympathy the Irishmen
abroad and at home. On their banner was
the word " Onward" and they would never
stop till they had accomplished their end
the freedom of Ireland. They had buried all
the personal animosities which had hereto
fore prevented the liberation of Ireland,
and all Irishmen, of all sects, were being
gathered together for their mutual good.
We have men at home who are willing to
drive the invaders from their shores
if we will furnish means. (Cres of 1--WE
will, we will.") He showed that in doing
this we are not renouncing our allegiance to
our adopted country, or any system of relig-
ion of those eminent priests, Fathers Roach
and Murphy did not break any laws of
the Church in assisting in repelling invad
ors in '9S. Why should we not battle against
them to-day? He believed the cause had
the sympathy of Americans, and that when
the struggle came America would preserve
at least strict neutrality.
Mr.. Delaney was severe in his structures
on those Irishmen who, although protesting
to sympathize with them, did not aid them.
Those who say Ireland is too weak do not
know the extent of the Fenian organization.
Not speeches but swords can pave the way
to liberty, and if it is not done in this gen
Grafton It never will, as by the present ratio
Of emigration, in twenty-five years only a
million and half will remain at home, and
the opportunity may pass forever.
Mr. McDermott said the Fenian Brother !
hood were only the advance guards of a
grand army. The hearts of the Irish people
were with them. He showed by historical
facts that revolutions have often been sue
cessful nnder much more disadvantageous
than these. Doubters are our
most bitter enemies, but they will live to
regret the days when they jeered at and
ridiculed us.
Mr.. Fennity said the Congress assembled
was composed of the united wisdom of the
in this country, and prudence {
and wisdom would guide them. If coneen-
Lration cannot make Ireland free it will not
be their fault. If all the Irish in this coun- {
try were united there could be no doubt of
success. The prospect looked very bright
The meeting was very enthusiastic.
