o,mAroNEY's OFFICIAL CIRCULAR.

To THE FENIAN BRoTHERHOOD-Bro
ers: II is my duty to announce to you the
arrival in Paris of Jas. Stephens, G. Z. /.
r., and to provide you for his coming to the
United States.
Four days previous to his leaving Ireland,
he dispatched n special letter to your head
centre with instructions to publish the fol-
lowing facts as soon as it became certain that
he had reached France:
FIRST. He informs the American and
Irish public through me that he left the or
ganization in Ireland in as good condition
as it had been since the recent Fenian scan
dals had begun in America, which had east
a gloom over the hopes Of all true lovers Of
freedom, and that he had placed the reins OF
his government in the hands of competent,
devoted, and well-tried men to direct during
his temporary absence.
SECOND. That he went to Paris on most
important business connected with the
present struggle for Irish nationality, and
not because he had been forced thereto by
his enemies.
THIRD. He is now coming to the United
States for the purpose of restoring harnoni-
ous council and well-concerted action among
all true friends Of Ireland on the American
Continent to reconcile all discordaEt ele-
ments, and to make last appeal Tor his
suffering country to all liberty-loviGg men
throughout the world.
His stay will be short in our midst. lie,
us receive his advent TO these shores as his
patriotic devetions, high talents and stern
fidelity deserve.
May discord and hateful jealousies vanish
from among us at his approach. May the
curse thenceforth and forever be to our fell
and constantly recurring destroyer Of our
hopes for national resurrection.
Irishmen, in fraternity, your obedient
servant }. OMAHoNEY.

ADDRESS OF BISHOP QUINTARD.-We
cheerfulIy give place to the following from
the Right Rev. Bishop Quintard, and hope
that the practical suggestions therein con-
tanned will be closely followed. 1t is neces-
sary that the Bishop and the members of the
Convention be informed as TO the present
condition of the Church of the Diocese, and
we cannot see that such information can be
had in any other way than that indicated
below. The suggestion in reference to the
Church" standing of lay delegates should
especially have weight:
To the Clergy of the Protestant Episcopal Church
of the Diocese of Tennessee:
REVEREND BRETHREN: The Annual Con-
vention of the Diocese of Tennessee will as
semble in St. James Church, Bolivar, at 10i
A. NJ, on Wednesday, the sixteenth day Of
MAY next. In order that an accurate view
of the Church in this diocese may be obtain
ed, desire that the parochial reports should
embrace, not simply the present numerical
strength of the parishes, bnt their history in
full since the adjournment of the Convention
in Sommerville, 1861, the condition of the
church property, etc. l beg also to call your
attention to the standing resolution of the
Convention, recommending that all lay del
egates should be in full communion with the
Church. CHARLES ToDD QUINTARD,
Bishop of Tennessee.

THE New York Times Of the ID inst. dis
courses very sensibly touching the relations
of the South to the present Congress. Char
lcteristically, however, it leaves unmentioned
the right-the constitutional right-of the
Southern States to representation and voice
in the legislation Of the country. That pa
per has been pursuing course in regard to
these questions by no means commendable
for candor. 1t supports the President and
opposes the Radicals but it does so on the
score of policy merely. 1t does this ably
and conclusively, but there is displayed a
manifest indisposition or timidity, we know
not which, to go down to the granite-to
discuss and declare the principle involved.
1t says that many questions are constantly
arising in regard to which only the Southern
members of Congress, ccnstitutionally or
ganized, are able to give the requisite and
reliable information, and it cites the export
tax on cotton as one of them. There are
many other subjects Of equal importance,
not to the Southern States only, but to the
whole country, which cannot be disposed of
properly and justly, without that conference
and consultation, under a due sense Of res
possibility, which is the right and duty of
members ola Congress representing all the in
terests most directly involved. Legislation by
part for the whole is wrong in principle,
and in practice can produce nothing but
evil. 1t is violative Of one, if not of the
leading feature Of Republican institutions,
and the attempt to administer the Govern
ment under such system, will prove fail
urc and produce interminable discord.
There is no objection to arguments against
the impolicy of n rumP Congress like that
sitting at Washington, but such papers rs
the New York Times should attack it upon
the other and higher ground. 1t isclerly
unconstitutional, and if such influential
presses as the Times, would but boldly de-
clare it such, the work of restoring the
Government would be greatly facilitated.

SOUTHERN RELIEF SOCIETIES.

One of the grounds of complaint on the
part of the. Radicals is that the Southern
people h7IE bot come out of the war with
hearts brfn full of love and gratitude to-
wards them. Those who are stationed in
the South complain that we do not run af-
ter them and, with hat in hand, invite them
into the bosom of our families. This is
their test of loyalty. The absence of such
easy virtue upon our part is paraded before
the Congressional Investigating Committee,
as an evidence of our unfitness for restOra-
ton to civil rights.
In view of the impoverished condition of
the South, the good people of Baltimore are
preparing to hold a Fair for the purpose of
raising funds for the relief of some of
our many objects of charity, resulting
from the war The following kind
and complimentary notice Of this noble
enterprise appears in New York CORES
pondence of the Hartford, Connecticut, Times,
a paper edited by GeR Hawley, the newly
elected OONCTnOT Ol llldI ~ - D1 lilc
exhibition of such a spirit that the people of
the South are expected to become recOnciled
to their Northern brethren:
Speaking of this brings to mind the great
Relief Fair, to be held in Baltimore soon.
The public are asked by the committee hav-
ing the thing in charge, to forward money
or anything else. And several compliment
tary notices have been obtained from the
New York papers. Now | look upon this
enterprise as one simply designed to aid
prominent ex-rebels, who consumed their
substance in endeayoring to overthrow the
Government.
/" 1t certainly looks so when Mason is an
nounced as the agent of the association
abroad. Though the Southerners have gone
astray they are our countrymen and breth-
rem, and we at the North have shown gen.
erosity only equalled by our magnanimity
in contributing to their necessities. 1t is too
much, however, TO ask of us to cooperate
with a movement which is engineered by
such men as the arbitrator Mason. We
can dispose of our loose change and old
clothes to better advantage"
