The FENIAN FARcE.-The New York CORES
pondeut of the Bulletin, in his letter of April
goth, says:
If your correspondent has had little or
nothing to say about Fenianism, it was be-
cause he had no faith that the movement
would result in any benefit to Ireland by
means of what the organization would actu-
ally do. The grand conspiracy has already
passed its zenith of popularity-bas lost all
dignity of character, and fallen to the grade
OF a very pretty farce. For months the Feni-
an organs have been full of Proclamatons or
Pronuncations Of the Bombastes Furioso Or
der-but nothing comes of them all. fort
night ago it was announced that the advance
of the host which is to invade and capture
Canada had actually started-and Feniau

Gently on "s secret expedition" But to this
hour we hear nothing of this Fenian navy"
on the Northeast coast-while the Army Of
Invasion" has summed up its results in the
capture of British Revenue flag, taken by
Eve armed. Fenians from single Provincial
offer whom they encountered at an isolated
point just over the border The American
public generally, and the better informed
classes among our Irish population as well,
are rapidly coming to the conclusion that this
whole business of Fenianism has degeneratcd
iato simple swiudle, by which to extort
money from people who can i'll afford to part
with it, but who cannot resist the appeal to
their patriotism.

President johnson in his last message
urges that as eleven States are unrepre-

not represented because they seeded and

therefore, on this ground. But neither
were those states represented when the

Messrs. Editors: f"u 9l .iC
You will oblige me to receive a few
lines as an answer to card in your
yesterdays issue. Some Of my late
comrades thereby did me the honor
of proposing me as a candidate for
County Treasurer at the next election
Thanking them for their well wishing
towards me, as well as for the Aatter-
ing words of that card, / hope not to
offend by not complying with their
wish, but if my friends want to do me
a favor, they will all be present at next
Saturdays Union Convention, and
give their votes for Col. Rheinlander.
| consider it, with your leave, not
more than just that an officer elected
for short term, after giving such
general satisfaction. in Office as Col.
r. has, should get the nomination
for the second and last term; the con-
trary--would it not be what might
call vote Of blame or reproach, to
Col. Rheinlander. q '-gl aoasf
The Colonel is known in this coun-
ty for long years as reliable man and
good citizen. He has also served
his country as private in the Mexi-
can war, and again as Captain, Major
and Lieut.. Colonel, during the late
rebellion, gradually advancing in rank
by meritorious conduct and hard
/ fighting, and though he don't himself
talk about it. the 25th Indiana as
suredly remembers how brayely he
fought at Fort Donelson and on other
occasions.
As for myself, if I have, as my
friends kindly say / have, some claim
to an Office, ought | not to wait, as
long as there is candidate whom |
consider more entitled than myself?
In time | may wish for your good
will, gentlemen, and in that event
would very thankfully accept your as
sistance. Respectfully,
AUGUST DUDDENHAUSEN.

THE nomination of Gen. EDWARD
H. HoBsoN for Clerk of the Court of
Appeals, by the Union men of Ken

expected enthusiasm. A reusing

made by Hon. J. r. UNDERWOOD,
Hon. j. w. CORN, JOHN NJ. HAIR
Lam, Gen. 4. L. CR1rrENDEN, Col. j.

gallant HoBsoN.
JOHN M. HARLAN offered the fol-
lowing resolution, which was, unani-
mously adopted: s .,8 ~ .5'i..
Resolved. That the nomination of that
distinguishes soldier and patriot, Gen. Ed

Clerkship Of the Court of Appeals, should

sanction of every citizen of Kentucky who
rejoices that the rebellion has been sup

control Of the men and principles of the
rebellion. no r-.. Ply, go.
By this resolution it may be seen
how the Union men of Kentucky re-
gard the present political struggle in
that State. The Democratic papers
of Indiana, where they have express
ed an opinion at all, have done. so in
favor 'aof the men and principles of
the Rebellion" as Gen. HARLAN cor
rectly styles the DUvALL party. This.
fact alone, and we regret to see that
the Louisville journal is silent with
regard to it, proves the identity of the
rebel party in all parts of the country.
There are but two parties-that of the
Union and the Secessionists.
