THE FENIANs--DEFIGIT IN THE TREASURY.
The examination of the treasury of the O'Ma
hony men, by direction of Stephens, says the Post
shows that only $500 remain; but by selling the
| lease of the Union Square headquarters, the sum
of $ll 600 could be obtained. There is deficit of
| $50 900, which none of the men who ought to know
the facts will explain.
