The Fenisn Scare I'm England.
The Fenian quarrel appears to have been
brought to an end-a fact for which, we have
no doubt, the public will not feel ungrateful,
as the internal dissensions Of the Brotherhood
have for several weeks past been almost
public nuisance. As portion Of the news of
the day the wrangle necessarily obtained
place in the columns Of the newspapers. So
far as the object Of the organization in re-
leasing Ireland from the rule Of government
which the majority Of the Irish people regard
as hostile and inimical to their interests was
concerned, we assume that the Fenians are
all right, and there can be no possible OBJ
lection to the Irish race, either in their own
country or anywhere else, adopting all avail
able measures to free their country. With the
causes of the quarrel between the factions,
which originated in the American portion Of
the organization, we have nothing to do. That
those factions have been able to fight their
own battle they have demonstrated by
the free use Of elimination and re-
elimination, personal abuse, Wholesale charges
Of perHdy, corruption, and so forth. The new
fedged Senate, on the one side, and the orr
ginal organization, under the direction Of
O'Mahony, on the other, entered the lists for
free fight, and 1t appears from the result that
Fenianism as It existed before the strife began
has come out triumphant. Five hundred "cir-
cles;" out Of total Of six hundred in Congress
assembled, have declared in favor d the O'Ma-
hony policy, have expelled such Of the rebsl-

not in Ireland, but in New York.
The Fsaians have evidently carried their
point % far. Tia mystsgloss chisfef the Irish
republic in ireland (stephens), who managed
TO escape by some mysterious means from The
walls Of . British dungeon, was expected to pro-
nounce the nat which was to decide the quarrel
on this side Of the Atlantic between the Fsnian
fActions-both sides agreeing to submit TO his
decree-and Il appears from his pronuncia-
mento, published in our columns on Saturday,
that he has done 20 by sustaining O'Mahony %
an honest and valuable chief, and denouncing
as "wretches," traitors, &C., the leaders Of
the Senatorial revolt, one of whom he desig-
mates as Q shallow knave," and orders
to be "branded without pity" It is to be
hoped that this will relieve the public from any
further intrusion Of Fenian grievances. Let

something practical. Let them transfer their
battles from the newspapers to the field
whether In Canada or Ireland, as best suits
their plans. We have had enough Of their
squabblcs. Instead Of abusing each other let
them each select Saxon soldier and knock
him on the head, II they mean business. BY
the late news from Ireland we Judge that there
Ii plenty Of opportunity to do this, for 1t sp-
pears that the English government, which q
short time ago, through its newspaper organs,
sneered at the drilling Of o few Fenians in the
remote districts of Ireland, % the only formi-
dable thing TO contend with, has recently ex-
perienced Terrible scare on the rumor Of q
general risinl ehcst Christmas Dublin was
strongly fortified on that occasion. Regiments
composed Of Irish soldiers were sent OF from
their garrisons, where they were supposed TO
have been corrupted, and English regiments
were hurriedly. thrown across the channel from
Liverpool and Holyhead. The coast guards
were doubled and the whole military and naval
force In the island was put In preparation 10
resist the first insurrcctionary movement Of the
Fenians, which, however, did not take place.
This condition of affairs presents remarka-
BILE contrast TO the Indifference assumed by the
government few months ago, and shows that
there must be some cause Of alarm In Ireland.
The quarrels Of the American Fenians having
been now apparently permanently settled, 10
may be presumed that they will develop thcm-
selves - lighting body In some more rcspects-
BILE fashion than they have been doing for some
time past At all events, we trust that they
viii carry out their projects In future, Whatever
they may be, with some practical purpose.
