1t is stated that there is only $500 in the
Fenian treasury. Killian has given up the
lease of the Union Square building, and
Stephens Private Secretary has taken pos
session of it. Stephens has thus fer alb
stained from any personal recognition Of the
Fenian Senate, and has issued an order

Captain Charles J. M Hudson announces
that he will try the dangers Of the great
ocean in a metallic life-boat, twenty-six feet
| long and six feet broad. The little vessel is
to be ship-rigged, and beside the captain is

The President, on the 18th, returned the
Colorado bill to the Senate with his objeo-
tions. He does not consider the establish
ment of State government in Colorado at
present necessary for the welfare Of the
people there. The population is small !;
some estimate it as low as 5000, while the
advocates Of the bill reckon the number at
from IS, 000 to 10000. 1t is not satisfacto-
rily established that a majority Of the citizens
desire, or are prepared for, the change Of a
Territorial for a State Government. The
objection is, that the admission of Colorado
at this time as State into the Union APP
pears to him to be incompatible with the
pl bile interests of the country. Instead of
increasing, Colorado has diminished in pop
ulation.

from this country, and the heart burnings
and scandals here were such as could only
be compensated by Irish liberation. They
only wanted money. Ireland had done ten
times as much as America in that way. Il
Great Britain had become engaged in the
Danish war, it was their purpose to have
then taken arms. ~
Only the O'Mahony faction thus far ac-
knowledge the Organizer, as Stephens is
called. The Roberts men yet stand aloof.
Those men number thousands, and there is
supposed to be but little prospect of a per-
feet union, even upon the question oe natio.
nal sovereignty. The examination of the
Treasury of the OMahony men, by direc.
ton of Stephens, shows that only $500 re-
main /; but by selling the lease of the Union
Square Head Quarters, The sum of ,OO(
could be obtained. There is deficit Of
| $4,000, which none of the men who ought
to know the facts will explain.
