Cairo evening times. [volume] (Cairo, Ill.) 1865-1866, 1865-11-26

friend Of Colonel O'Mahony, President Of the
Fenian Brotherhood, appeared in the World Of
yesterday. 1tseems that the Times of the 18th
inst. attacked the Fenian movement, warning
the honest unsuspecting Irish living In the I'M.
sophisticated sections of the country not to
make any remittances to the Order, as the money
was used in maintaining set of scamps in idle
ness, helping them to gain notoriety and patent
leather boots and that even if sent TO Ireland,
as is supposed, the result would be merely to
send a few more ill-advsed young men to jail.
1t thinks it crime to bolster up the concern
even as joke, and hopes that every we'll
wisher Of Ireland and her people will lend a
helping hand in exposing what is really an un-
mitigated imposture.
The same day of the publication of the
above, Mr.. Raymond received letter from
Mr. Killian, who demanded, on behalf Of Col
John o. Mahony, retraction of all statements
of personal character contained in the above
article, to which he replied as follows:
IF MR.. RAYMOND TO NR K1LL1AS
e The editor of the Times acknowledges the
receipt of Mr.. Kiliian's note. He begs to say,
in reply, that the article referred to embodies
merely an expression of opinion concerning an
organization of persons, he sees no ground for
either demanding or making retraction' ex-
cept upon the submission Of such facts as shall
lead to a change of such opinion
MIR. KILLAN TO MR.. RAYMOND
':Should Mr.. Raymond fail to see the urgency
of the retraction asked for he is requested to
name some gentleman with whom Mr.. O'Ma-
hony and Mr. Killian might enjoy more sat
isfactory acquaintance"
MIR. RAYMOND TO MR. KILL1AN.
''Unless. Mr. Kilan is misunderstood, he pre-
SCENTS to Mr.. Raymond the alternative of either
making the retracLion demanded, or Of consid-
ering himself invited to a hostile meeting with
one or both of the aggrieved parties. Mr.
Raymond is unwilling to take any action on the
subject until more fully assured Of the mean
ing of Mr. Killian's note''
= MR. KILLIAN TO MR. RAYMOND
''Mr. Killian regrets that he has not made him.
self fully understood by Mr.. Raymond. He
certainly sought to assure him that retraction
as ample as the offense was required and that
failing to receive it, Mr.. O'Mahony and him
self would feel justified in insurng full atone
ment by any course of action recognized as
legitimate under like aggravation.''
MR.. RAYMoND's REPLY.
''Mr. Raymond declines to comply with the
menacing demands for "retracton y which
Mr.. Killian, ION behalf of himself and Mr..
o. Mahony, has seen tit to make upon him.
1 have given above the gist of the cores
pondence, which was given to the public by
Col O'Mahony, by adding to it the following

HEADQUARTERS FENlAN BROTHERHOOD, }
New YORK, NOVEMBER II.
The undersigned, representing the organiza-
ton assaied by the editor of the Times, begs
| leave to place the foregoing correspo ndence in
| the hands of the public. His only comment on
| it is, that person who will neither undo foul
libel nor place himself in position to be chas-
tised for it, is not possessed Of the courage of
man, or the instincts Of gentleman.
JOHN O'MAHoNY,
| President of the Fenian Brotherhood
i The body of the Hon. Preston King, who
threw himself from Hoboken ferry boat
week ago, has not yet been found 1t is stated
that when he left bone on the morning of the
suicide, he told his friends that they would not
see him again. 1t is also reported that he tied
a bag Of shot around his neck before casting
himself into the water. The spiritualists, in
consideration of the large reward offered for
the recovery Of the body, are drawing largely
on their mystic art to find its whereabouts. On
Saturday, in little parlor west Houston
| street, were gathered few of the disting ushed
mediums, and one through the manipulatons OF
a ''magnetic" lady, was placed en- rapport
| with the inhabitants of the spirit world. In a
| short time spirit came, moving with
heavy step, Notwithstanding its being a mere
Larry nothing" and placing its impalpable
lips to the mediums ear said I" Take a pencil
and write No sooner was the pencil taken
in hand than it began to move, and these words
were written On Slip OF paper
81 [ will direct you to where my body is lying
ifyou will come and grappe it. 1t is lying in
such place, and you will find it.
PRESTON KING
An hour after the medium started for the
Christopher street ferry, and took passage fol-
Hoboken. When in the middle of the river he
took out his pencil and slip Of paper, and
placing the latter on the palm of his hand, re-
ceived another communication, stating that the
body was lying two hundred feet north of the
bow of the steamer, North Star, off Pier No
At, and few yards east OF the middle of the
stream. On Sunday noon these indefatga-
BILE spiritualsts commenced dredging IN the
vicinity of the spot indicated, and continued
until shutdown without success. They were sure,
however, the body was there, right in the spot
indicated by the spirit, but the tide and wind
were against them and they could not fasten
their grapplers upon the precise spot where the
remains were lying. They proposed to give
the matter another trial yesterday, but the
easterly storm prevented it. If they find the
body, will give you due notice.
The ruins of Barnum's old museum building
have not yet been removed, but workmen are
engaged in clearing away the debris, and a
new block will soon be erected there. The
new museum is located at $50 and 54l Broad
