THE SPEECH OF TRAIN. The Fenians
held a meeting in Baltimore on We'd
nesday evening, and George Francis
Train spoke these words: 5.5s.
Irishmen, you are generous people,
and being such you will reserve all your
applause for James Stephens. l have
done hard work for the cause for the
east six weeks, speaking in the far West,
at Omaha, Nebraska, and at almost
every intermediate point to our Atlantic
shores. Irishmen were here at the birth
of American Independence. But Ire
land lost herliberty. But We cannot forget
those Irishmen who fought our battles
at Bunker Hill, and Stony Point, and
Quebec. When we remember that you

cOran, and Mulligan, and Shields i'm

sustain tile miserable Monroe doctrine,

and the Irish people. Let those who are
in favor of exerting themselves for the
Irish people and not for the Monroe doe

Andrew johnson has said there shall
not be eleven Polands or eleven Bel
gums In this country In the name OF
the Irish people, in the name OF that
immortal brigade, under Stonewall
Jackson, that refused to fire upon Gen.
Shields troops, recognize ireland here
tonight as belligerent. They have
suspended the writ of hdbeds corpUs in
Ireland, and are arresting Irishmen and
American citizens by hundreds. Let
us, then, begin at once, and sieze upon
the Englishmen in this country as host
ages. ~ af.ar q -a flai t.5s u.air5-.
Let us appeal to Andrew johnson to
send Sir Frederick Bruce home to his
country. That's one way to fight for
Ireland. Resolve further, that from this
time you will never wear any clothes of
British manufacture. Let your votes be |
given only to candidates, no matter for |

The superexcellence of Republican

The superexcellence of Republican
Democracy, is manifested in their con-
slant sneers at Andrew johnson as a
mechanic. The following is one of their
last witticisms in this line Mr.. W.,
of Pennsylvania, when some one said
that Fred. Douglass had the advantage
of Andrew johnson in the famous inter
view between them, Replied Yes, Ire

were always inferior to the slaves; and,

Johnson was only the NINTH" al

SECRET TRANSACTIONS OF THErREAsuRY.

SECRET THE TREASURY
In the difference of opinion which ex-
lists between the Secretary of the Trea-
sury and Mr.. Clarke, the Comptroller of
the Currency, says the New York Post,
whose letter we very recently published,
it seems to US likely that, so far as re-
spects the legality of the proceedings in
question, the Secretary is in the right.
He was empowered by the act of July
18th, 1862, and that of March Sd, 1865,
to purchase bonds at certain rates, and
to convert Government notes and other
obligations into bonds. The objection
we should make to the private negotia-
ton OF the five-twenty bonds, and with
drawal of seven-thirties and compound
interest notes, is founded on this quality
of privacy.
In proceedings Of this kind secresy is
. great error. 1t is not just to the COM
munity, who, by the effect of such oper-
ations, are suddenly overtaken by
changes and fluctuations against which
nobody has tile opportunity ofproviding
beforehand. and it is exceedingly impru-
dent as regards that department of the
government by which these operations
are managed. 1t matters not with what
purity of intention and perfect integ-
rity of conduct the affair is transacted;
wherever there is privacy there is an
occasion of whispering unfavorable sus-
picions. 1t will always be said that the
reason for secrecy is that there is some
thing in the transaction which will not
bear the light. Yf5-.
It is therefore the part of fairness to-
wards all whose interests are connected
with the state of the money market,
that the financial transactions of the

Hanging for Horse-stealing.

Hanging for HOTse-Stealing.
The Georgia Legislature are determined to
hang somebody. Before the war the objects OF
their kind consideration were the negro-thieves,
as they were called. To any one caught in the
act of seducing slaves from their allegiance
to their masters, was given "a short shrift and
a long rope" but late events have rendered
this style of capital punishment altogether
unnecessary, as there are no longer any
bondsmen to be released. But they cannot
altogether refrain from chivalric exercises,
and abolitionists and slave-stealers having
been disposed OF, the horse thieves next come
in for their share of condign punishment.
This may possibly be dangerous expert
ment. 1t is strongly suspected that promi-
nent GeorgiaDs were engaged during the late
war in relieving good Union citizens oil their
equine and bovine stock. The Legislature of
Georgia had better be very careful about
passing an act whose stringency may bring
some of their own necks within the bailiwick
of the moose.
An old adage advises those who reside in
glass houses to be careful in their use of pro-
iectiles; and may it not add to the happiness
of some of the citizens OF Georgia if this pro-
posed act should become a law. Prudence
and discretion are virtues, even among legis-
lators, though they are not always found
where we might reasonably expect them.
The felony of appropriating your neighbor's
horse is a grave one, but hardly rises to the
dignity of hanging matter. Throughout the
whole West such cases have usually been dis
posed of in "Judge Lynch's Court" and that
right speedily. 1t is time that all barbarity
and vengeance should be wiped from our
statute-books. When just and appropriate
punishment is affixed to crime, and the
offenders find that they receive their deserts,
they will cease to violate the law, and in most
cases obey the law of nature and of God by
obtaining their bread by the sweat of their
brow.

UP TO TIME.-The New York Herald,
influenced by laudable desire to be always
on the winning side, commences its nomina-
tions for the next Presidency in the following
article
'We are within two years, eight months, and
twelve days of the next Presidential election.
Time flies rapidly in these days, and the great
struggle OF 1868 will soon be upon US. The poll
tlcans, this clique, that clique, and the other,
are sal ping and mining to secure the prize, and
working TO turn the Administration 10 their pur-
poses and to befog and betray the people. To
head them of, and to simplify the radical war
upon the Administration, we proclaim General
GRANT as the Independent champion OF the army
and the people for the next Presidency"
1t is notable fact that the policy of the
Herald has always been to nominate every
prominent man for the Chief Executiveship of
the nation, and when any one is selected, to
refer to the particular article in which his
claims were favored, and claim the credit Of
being his original nominator. Hence we may
expect that to General GRANT will be added
long list, including every man to whom the
popular partiality could possibly turn. BY
such course BENNETT is always up to time

The LADIES' HOME OF ENJOYMENT
The last annual report of the Board of Mana
gers of the Western Association of Ladies for
the Employment of the Poor, places tnat in
stitution in the foremost rank of the charities
of our city, to which the liberal should extend
a helping hand. The Home OF Employment
has been in active operation for twenty years,
and has aided the destitute women in our
midst to support themselves without the degra-
dation Of accepting aims. 1t furnishes work
for them to do, pays them Tor it, and allows
them the use of well-furnished rooms and
good substantial meals, at the Home, Nos. 10
and 21 South Seventeenth street. During the
past few years the demand upon the treasury
has been lightened because of the number en-
ployed by Government. As this avenue of
labor will be closed to them during the COM
ing season, and other resources also stopped,
every exertion will be needed to meet the in
creased demand there will probably be upon
the funds of the institution, to admit as great
number as possible within IFS walls. Their
annual income was $500, of which all has
been expended except 5000. The claims Of
this Association are undoubted, and it is but
Just that the most liberal Of all the cities of
America should sustain its reputation by
giving cheerfully to aid the good work which
our ladies are doing.
