That Does It Mean !?

The New York Citizen edited by pri-
yate Miles O'Riley) has an article laid
atory Of the Fenians, and urging Irish
men and Americans to contribute to the
Fenian funds. We quote single om-
nous passage:
6 We tell the American public-and
they have heretofore found us pretty
accurate prophets in everything relative
to the Fenian cause-that before ten
weeks there will be-somewhere-
Irish Republic existing somewhere on
the face of the earth, with flag, an
army, II port Of entry and exit, a navy
of privateers, and the tacit encourage
ment both Of France and the United
States in the prosecution Of belligerent
acts against Great Britain. Let no one
ask us for the present where this repub-
lie will be located, for we cannot an
swer. It must be called republic, to
warrant the flag and fleet, but will re-
ally only be used as an immediate basis
of OPP r ,tions for the transfer of active
hostilities to the Canadian and Irish
soils. A word to the wise is enough
And now, while the quid nuncs grow
excited, the wise will await develop
ments, giving literally of ::their means
to aid the cause; nor will they have to
tarry long for the fulfillment Of all that
we herein fOreshadow."

The Richmond Times of the Goth ult.
contains the following particulars of
horrible murder recently committed
near Williamsburg in that State:
One OF the most brutal and unproNok-
ed murders which has come to our
knowledge for some time past occurred
on the road from Williamsburg to this
city on last Thursday. Two soldiers,
named WIN, Clark and Thomas Shields,
both members of company a. Fifth
United States Artillery, deserted from
their regiment at Fortress Monroe,a few
days prior to the circunstanceandW went
to Yorktown, where they remained q
short while, when they left for Williams
burg. Arriving there they obtained
from DIR. ID. 6. Sterling his carryall and
named Taylor, to drive them, as they
said, part of the way to Richmand..
Some few miles from town the vehicle
stopped and the two deserters got out to
90 to house near the roadside, where
they procured an axe, which one of them
concealed beneath his overcoat.
They soon returned and resumed their
seats in the vehicle behind the driver
and proceeded Oh their journey till
reaching bridge which crosses creek
about five miles from williamsburg
At this spot one of them (said to be
Shields) raised up in his seat and struck
Taylor, the driver, over his head with
the axe, knocking him to the ground,
but only stunning him. The wounded
man soon recovered his feet and started
to run, whereupon Shields pursued and
followed him up with blow after blow
till the poor fellow fell to the ground
all bleeding and mangled and apparent
~ a corpse. He was then picked up by
the heartless murtlesers and thrown into
the creek, beneath the bridge, where
the struggle between life and death was
again renewed; but, as it turned out,
the effort was of short duration; for as
soon as the tiends discovered that Tay-
lor was not yet dead they pelted him
with chunks of wood and rocks till he
sank to rise no more. Having accom-
p!ished their hellish work, Clark and
Shields returned to the vehicle, and
drove on in the direction Of this city.
Both the murderers were soon after
arrested, and are now confined in a
Richmond prison. They have confessed
to the commission of the horrible deed.

EOay. Children Burned to Death.

A shocking tragedy took place near
Belle Plain, Minnesota, on the 9th inst.
Mr.. Shilock, wife, and five children
were in bed, when Mrs. ShilOck aWOke
and found the house in flames. She
rushed to the rescue of four children who
were in an adjoining room. Mr.. Shi-
lock followed an instant later, but in his
passage broke through the burning
floor and fell into the cellar. BY des-
perate effort, and almost suifocatcd by
heat and smoke, he again reached the
bed which he had left, and grasping the
sleeping babe, threw it through the Win
dow which he had broken out but,
upon turning to see what had become of
his wife, he was met by the flames, and
but barely escaped by the window
through which he had thrown his
child. Upon reaching the outside he
heard the cries Of his wife from the en-
try way or narrow hall, who had been
frantically endeavoring to gain the
room occupied by her children until she
herself had been surrounded by fire.
Through almost superhuman exertion
he succeeded in bursting in tie door
and rescuing her, although both were
terribly burned. They now used every
exertion to save the children, but all to
no purpose and soon they were enabled
to see the four standing together in the
middle of the room, clinging to each
other, with their eyes raised toward
heaven, in which position they were
consumed by the flames, in full sight OF
their agonized parents, who could lend
them no aid.

The Radical Programme.

The New York Times, edited bv Mr..
Raymond, NJ. c., in all article referring
to the passage of the negro suffrage bill
in the District of Columbia, gives the
annexed plain record of the intentions
of the Radicals:
The avoWal has repeatedly been
made by those known as Radicals in the
Union ranks, that its main purpose was
to establish a principle in the District
which should afterWard be applied to
the several States. The admission Of
the recently emancipated slaves to the
right of unqualified, universal suffrage
in the rebel States, is put forward by
them as an indispensable condition to
the readmission Of these States to the
Union. Judge Kelley, of Pennsylvania,
the author OF this bill, declared recently
i'll debate with Mr.. KassOn, of Iowa,
that Congress had the right to prescribe
the qualifications Of voters for the most
numerous branches of the legislature
in every State in the Union-in other
words, that, notwithstanding the expli-
cit language of the constitution, Con-
gress had supreme power over this whole
subject, and he is prepared to introduce
4 bill for its assertion and exercise
Mr.. Stevens has given notice of bill to
give every eAlilClpateu negro nome
stead, either from the confiscated estates
OF Southern rebels, or from lands in the
South owned by the Governments. A
bill is already before the House ignoring
utterly everything done by the Presi-
dent towards the restoration of peace
and Federal relations in the Southern
States, and proposing to organize terri
torial governments for them all. And
the same tactics are to be employed to
force each and every one of these meas
ures upon the Union party in the House
which proved so successful on this Dis
trict of Columbia bill. The same use
will be make of the machinery of eau

The Republican Party Breaking UI

The New York Herald says the out
rageously radical measures of Sumner
and Stevens are breaking up the repub-
lican party, which could have ruled the
country for the next century had it been
properly managed. 1t elected Lincoln
over Mcclellan in 1864 because all the
soldiers and the friends of the soldiers
gave it their votes; but now we see that
all the great Generals like Grant, Sher-
man and Thomas, have declared against
the radical policy in their reports, and
that the soldiers are indignant at the eff
forts made for immediate, universal
and unconditional negro suffrage. The
result will be the organization of a new
conservative party that will annihilate
the republicans.
The only military men who endorse
Sumner and Stevens in their crusade
against the President are Ben. Butler
and Carl Schurz. These are all the SOL
diers, if they may be called soldiers,
that the republicans now retain in their
party.
