&c. &c. &c.

Yesterday was day of rest but i also day OF
conversation and the gay and witty Hbernans, having
many things to say about Feniansm and its surround
iDgs idle in that regard. This topic is
up the Fenian circles Of Irish citizens and
generally begin to look into il somewhat, the
recent developments having given partial idea Of its
enormous inner resources.
WHAT THE COUNTRY MODERATES HAVE TO SAY.
There of country people every day in the
city seeking clue TO the Fenan mbrogio and ex-
aiming If the horizon afforded speck Of hope TO escape
from it The Senate Hall or the O'Mahony Mansion are
the places where the unsophsticated individuals most
do congregate For months and years they have been
paying final calls and looking for final moments and
they in mood to permit the real finale TO be otted
down by the historic pen other thing than storm
OF epthets personalities bad temper and sense
such as the country cousins RECALLED with each day
on the arrival the New York journals at their quiet
burgs
The Circles and men in immediate contact with the
chief actors in this Fenan division thoroughly
biased and innamed in their respective positions that
they neither restrain passion themselves appre
cool feelings of those outside who look at mat
sers parsans but general patriots The reso-
latons for the part passed by the Circles this
vicinity, and the addresses and harangues which are
heard are usually promotive of much nemperance, and
ate,n and SO on answer good, more than high
flying filings from the other side ''brng down the
palace game"
In the Fcnian Brotherhood there are thousands who
may have the necessity Of purifying the Fenan adj
mnsration but who perceive the policy OF keep
ing things forever in fever of frenzy There other
thousands who did suspect the old system OF any
thing but straighforwaidncss but who scken at the
rhodomontade Of palace posters and royal cabals
~CoNGREss'' OF FESIASs, OR ''coNvocATIoN OF
cLANsMEN.'
Congress then is on the tapis-cacd Congress-
by the parzans Of the old system and denominsted "a
convocafion OF the clan 0Mahony by the other side
This Congress will elect John oaiahony TO preside
he deliberations, and John oMahony will elect the Con-
gress gulotne his opponents "The mansion scribcs
will submit resolutions y penny whistle pettifoggers
will rally the ayes TO the echo the edic of excommun
cation will 60 forth against the Senatorial sinners and
the 0'Mahony will be recrowncd Ardh RICH Of the
Palace Evenings will be devoted meetings in
she halls and institutions OF the metropolis the daytime
debates Will be repetition OF the most clustering phases
Of the Cincinnati and Philadelphia asscmbages the daily
papers will out every morning with their columns
Of bombas aud freight or perldy and treason banded
between the respective lbcraors and the whole thing
will in all probability be too much or good thing for
che denizens OF Gotham.
WARM FENIANIsM FOR WARN CONGRESS.
This city-Feniansm-is at present very much ex-
cited Mr. 0Mahony has been with them good while;
they have been to his office and he to their hall One
Of the charges in the Indictment against him is having
entrusted these district meetings with the contents OF
l. r. B. dispatches. His secretary says the reason
that Manhattan Fenans safer repositories for
such than traitor and normer Senators The constitution
said the President Of the Senate the party TO hear
them. The Manhattan rank and file were battered by
the discrimination in their They almost
at the height OF gratitude and devotion to their
friend and ncighbor, 0'MahoDy.
OiMahony has been heard % brand these Senators
and their party traitors bribed with British gold vino
starting up rival institution To swamp Union square
lrsla all In hun AauH
iers really in operation; funds are being re-
seved there counter denuncations against the Union
breezes The Senatorial side have their party through
the country they have their President and party in the
abe 0Ma6ony excavation launched at them Thus
stands the case in the city.
FRYING PAN OR FIRE?
In come hundred OF two fierce 0'Mahony men on
the I'd OF January 10 take council in Cooper Institute and
forth in their might against the mpeachers OF the
favorc. The caudron boiling Gercely before is stirred
can he expected as the outcomc9 The OMahony
wmbagc will perhaps result in no bloodshed II can
result In only the consolidation OF one OF the factions for
che ,nternecine war.
THE coNyocATioN REPUpiATED AS AN ARBITER.
The other portion will fold and look on, may be-
az they may be busy wcavers circumvcntng the ope

general Brotherhood will look this Manhattan assem-
