arrested during the past four years on
charges Of being members, or attempting
to make members of the conspiracy, IN
not one single case has the government
been able to procure evidence of the guilt
of the parties. The workings of the Irish
Society are as impenetrable as the opera
tions of the Greek Heterists, who by their
secret associations delivered Greece from
the Sultan's rule. Certain it is, however,
that the American Fenians receive con-
slant reports of the progress of their
friends in Ireland. The Irish ~organiza-
ton is known by them as the L. r. B., and
its invisible chief is the acknowledged
head of the entire movement. 1t was in
response to the demand of this "great I'M
known" that the call of five dollars per
head was decreed at the last Fenian Con-
vention. No n knows who he is, or
where he is, but all believe in his exist
ence. 1t cannot be said that, at least as
far as the Irish revolutiOnists are con-
cerned, IA little knowledge is a dangerous
thing" The. want of knowledge seems
their great safeguard. In the United
Irish conspiracy the informer was at work
almost from the beginning, and the vic
Tins convicted and punished for compile
ity were legion, but this present o~rganiza-
ton seems impenetrable.
FENIANIsM A SERIOUS MATTER AFTER ALL.
1t is easy enough to see the ridiculous
side of all these known details of Irish
conspiracy, but it exists as a serious fact
for all that. What it may become, how it
will end, who can tell?
Cleveland daily leader. [volume] ([Cleveland, Ohio]) 1865-1873, 1865-10-11

An erroneous impression prevails Will
tina public as to the number of pardons
thus far granted by the President, some
estimrtes placing it as high as 25, 900. We
ascertain, on official authority, that the
number up to and including the warrants
signed this day, is but 1858. More than
three-ffths of these have been granted
within the past ten days, and the business
now averages from so to $50 per day. But
as yet the number issued does not equal
one-sixth of the applications on file. To
day there were fifty-eight pardOns issued.
Among those lately pardoned is L. Pope
Walker, the first rebel Secretary of War
the man who gave the order to open fire
upon Fort Sumter. He has haunted the
Executive Mansion for a month, and
forced himself before the President in ad-
vocacy of his own claims until he finally
succeeded. 1t is proper to state that the
Cabinet bave declined to recommend the
pardon of any of the accepted classes save
those coming under the thirteenth excep-
ton, known as the twenty thousand dollar
class. The Attorney General makes no
endorsement upon the applications of the
other twelve classes, and they are filed
away separately for future consideration.
When a person included in any of these
twelve classes is pardoned, it is done by
the President upon his own responsibility,
and in the exercise of that Executive
for which he is not obliged to give a rea-
son. Thus with Mr.. L. P. Walker.

Lyons Periodical Drops,
The Great Female Remedy
FOR
IRRE c S.

These Drops are a scientifically compounded fluid
preparation, and better than any pills, powders or
nostrums. Being liquid, their action is direct and
positive, rendering them reliable. speedy and GER
tain specific for the cure of all UD-.ructions and
suppressions of Nature.
Their popularity is indicated by the fact that
over 100, 900 bottles are annually sold and consumed
by the ladies of the United States, and every one
of them speak in the strongest terms of praise of
their great merit.
They are speedily taking the place of every other
female remedy, and are considered by dealers, con-
sumers, physicians, and all who know aught of
them, as the surest, safest and most infalliable pre-
p~aration in the world for the cure of all female
complaints, the removal of all distractions of Ma
ture, and the promotion of health, strength and
regularity.
Explicit directions, stating when they may be
used, and explaining reasons why and when they
should not be used without producing results con-
trary to the course of Natures chosen law, will be
found carefully folded around each bottle with the
signature of DR.. JOHN L. LYON, without which
none are genuine. They are prepared at the
