Hon. DArcy MCGEE Again after the

The antecedents of some of our Fenian centres

minister of agriculture, Hon. Thomas Darcy
McGee, in a letter to one of his correspondents
in New York, from which we New York Taaes)

"Mr. Killian, the secretary of Mr. O'Mahony's
treasury, was in my employment from 1852 to
1856. He is full of talent, naturally amiable in
temper, but ostentatious and indolent, when not

responsible and irresponsible expenditure, be

they may say or think of me, do not wish the
