PRESIDENT JOHN o'MAuoNHT,
while the tlial was In progress, Was no. idly

the contrary, he was In busy corre.pondence
with the members Of the late Philadelphia
Congress- preparing for the rcasse.nbllng Of
next, and for the expulsion BY TINT body, Of
the ten Senators whose names nre attached to
the foregoing address. Col. O'Afahoney and
his party Of ms, or the enteEprising gentle
men who arc transacting business in the name
ofthe Irish Republic at UnionSquaze distinctly
charge that one Of the ten mn1conteut Senators
recently loaned $1S0, ,O0 Of the FenIan Broth
erhood's funds, aud that the Brotherhood
have neither security for this large sum of
money nor any positive proof that they shall
ever again see the color Of q dollar that is said
to have been loaned. They furthermore &C.
cuse ihc Senator Of having speculated In gold
and thus irEctrievably sunk 81, 900 Of the Fe-
nIans' money; and they add that the del1n-
quent Senator now refuses to surrender the
brothezhood's books to Mr. B. Doran Killlau,

cerning the movement here, seems not to
hare fulfilled bis mission aud It Is alleged
that he lost tue E50o md his letter Of instrnc-
tions-tLe identical letter which is said to
have put England's detective policemen Oh
the trail Of Iames Stephens, the Head Centre
Of Feninnlsm IN Ireland.
Another count In the Indictment against the
len malemtents is that they have cmploYedA
reporter who Is attached to G morning Jour
nal, aud arc paying him o -princely salary to
write In their interest and in opposition to the
American Fcnian President and Cabinet, and
to this circumstance they attribute the Whirl
which was cditosially made by newspaper
on Saturday morning.
These alleged facts are to be used In the
Congress thy President 0'Mahouey d Co.,
against the ten Seuntors who haEs presumed
TO beard that official in his lair, and O'3faho-
ney thinks, with the proofs that are in the
stamped upon the hrows ot the ten, and their
ieponinious expulsion from Fcniau circles
may be effected. .....-
Tho Cabinet more than hint that the agent
whom they despatched to ireland to p.opa-
gate FcnianiEm, and speak encouraging wotds
to the Feninns there, sold ont to the British
Government, and WINS bribed to disclose to
English detective officers the Fenian Brother
hoods plans, and that his disclosures led to
the apprehension of Stephens aud the suppres-
sion Of the Fenian newspaper organ, Tie !rish
Peoplc. This charge, nlso, Is TO be sustained,
if possible, before the Congress In January
next, and the inquiry Is to be pressed as to

for collecting. $63, 600 from Irish men and
women in the rura1 districts, not q dollar Of
which, say the Cabinet, has been deposited
In tue general treasury.
1t lie Congress, It Is said, the ten accused
Etnato7s will ask under whose authority the
Union-square people have begged upward Of
81 900 600 from their fellow country men, aud
10 what uses they intend to apply this gigau-
tic finds They Will want to know who au-
thorized the leasing Of the rresidents head

keep the mansion In repair, and Why they
nerced to e1pend Is, ,000 more in filling the
house with luxurious furniture The ten
