The Attempt to AbolItionize the Fenlans.
10 the Editor Of the Chicago Times:


To the Editor of the Chicago Tines
CHICAGO. Aug. LIN the Tuesday morning 8
edition Of the Chicago Tribune notice an address
from the Illinois State center of the Fenian bro
therhood to the Fenians of this State, the ten
dency of which is to induce them to vote the Re-
publican ticket at the next election.
Mr.. L. B. 0'Connor, district center of Chicago,
also comes out in style similar to that of the
State centers.
Now. | would like to ask these gentlemen by
what right, or by what authority, they address us
on the subject OF politics. The rules and regula-
tons OF the Fenian brotherhood expressly forbid
any discussion on politics. or any mention of them
whatever, inside of the organization and | have
to learn that it has changed in revolutionary as
peCt to that of political one. And, even il the
subject of politics of practical account in the
organization, would like to know what the Re-
publican party have done for us that they should
now get our votes. Since the commencement of
the Fenian organization in this country they have
been its hitterest enemies. From the New York
Tribune down to the smallest Republican newspa-
per published in the country, they all Joined in
loud, long and bitter denunciation of the Fenian
movement, styling us as set of gnoramuses, in
capable of selfgovernment and applying to us
epithets tnatwoud be insulting to dog.
The only words of cheer and encouragement
that we received came from the Democratic press;
and will we now turn our backs our true friends
and join in league with our 0ppressors, who, as
soon as they get all they want out of U.S. tour
votes,4 will give us the cold shoulder and tell us
tney require our services no longer! no. coun-
trymen we are not so low, SO contemplate that.
They (the Republieansl striving hard to secure
our votes in order to themselves from destruc.
ton. They are trying various plans to effect this
object, Of which is the revision of the neutral
ity laws. But examine this new law for yourselves,
Irishmen. and you will find tyou have no better
chance than you had before, nor perhaps half as
good for it will most likely be rigidy enforced if
the Republicans hold power.
Our State and district eenters may puff and blow
about the treachery of ANDY Johnson but it can
not be denied that he gave usevery opportunity TO
make successful stand against our enemies and,
were it not for the bungling way in which our
affairs were managed, Canada, or atleast greater
part Of it, would be now in our possession.
One more word, Irishmen, and / am done. Do
not allow yourselves to be duped into voting for
any party, but go according to your old principles,
and you will go right.

0, tenderly the naughty day
Fills his blue urn with fire.
One morn is in the mighty heaven,
And none in our desire.
The cannon booms from town to town,
Our pulses are not less;
The joy-bells chime the tidings down,
Which childrenis voices bless.
For He who spread your broad blue field,
Ger nantling land and sea,
One third part Of the sky unroiled,
For the banner of the free!
The men are ripe of Saxon kind
TO build an equal State,
To take the statute from the mind
And make of duty fate.
United States! The Ages plead
Present aud past, in nnder-song,
Go, put your creed into your deed,
Nor speak with double tongue!
For sea and land don't understand
Nor skies, without frown,
See sights for which the one hand fights,
With the other oloven down.
Be just at home--then stretch beyond,
Your sceptre DER the sea,
And make the broad Atlantic pond,
A ferry of the free.
And henceforth there shall be no chain,
Save underneath the sea,
The wires shall whisper through the main,
Sweet songs of Liberty
The conscious stars accord above,
The waters Wild below,
And ceaseless, through the cable wave,
Her fiery errands go.
For He that worketh high and wise,
Nor pauses in bis plan,
VIII take the sun out of the skies
Fer freedom out Of man.

new invention called the Watch Dog. or Sleeping
Mans Protector-an iron box nearly square,
weighing sixteen pounds, containing gun or small
cannon, so arranged by wires that it will explode
at a slight touch The hammer of the gun is used
as lever to raise a strong spring which, when set
may be released and thrown upon a percussion
cap, which discharges the gun by the touching of
springs that are attached to four wires, and may
be extended to any distance. The noise of the
explosion will itself startle thief, to say nothing
of the shot from the gun. The invention is by Mr..
NJ. 9. Heptinstall, Of Halifax county, N. G. It may
be used in stores, smoke houses, corn cribs, barns
orchards, or indeed in any situation.

WASHINGTON IrEns.-The following paragraph:
appear in late Washington correspondence of the
Atlanta Intelligencer:
Green Clay Smith is one of the individuals who
obtained cheap reputation during the war, upon
which, by an adequate display Of bayonets, he
rode into Congress. Plainly foreseeing that
the close Of the war, and the repeal of the Ken
lucky repatriation law by its legislature, would
assuTedly close his career in his native State, he
pretended intense devotion to the policy of the
President, and importuned his eXceency for
the goyernorship Of the territory Of Montana.
In less than an hour after his nomination had
been sent to the Senate he voted for the Radi-
cal amendments to the constitution Of the Uni
ted States, and has ever since been running with
the radical machine. OF course ne was confirmed
by the Senate. Buthe snow met by an unexpected
difficulty. His commission has not yet been issued.
He will have to give " indemnity for the past and
for the FUTURE if it is issued. So much
for one of the Smith family.
The clerks in the department are burning with
that Congress should defeat every
proposition to increase their. (the clerksD pay
and yet vote themselves an increase of $1,000 per
annum. This increase of the pay of Congress men
is worth dozen conservative members of the next
Congress. So say good judges.

We understand that there will be a line OF small
steamers formed TO run between this city and
Shreveport, which will give every facility to our

SUGGESTIVE LETTER FROM BANKS.
WASHINGTON, D. O., Aug. |
EFl;t,r oe ~ Nr,4;,-,r q ,n,,hf;,or.

WASHINGTON, u. ", aug l.
To the Editor of the National Republican:
SRA communication published in your jour
nal this morning, signed VIM. H. G. King, gives an
il correct report OF the condition of affairs and
the causes of the recent massacre in New Orleans.
Its Incorporate tone discloses and defeats its pur-
pose. Nevertheless, knowing the history (which
it refers, l deem it my duly to say that, in my
opinion, it is unjust to the loyal men Of Louisiana
and unworthy of credit. The convention was the
ostensible, and not the latent cause Of the out.
break. 1t was peaceful and lawful assembly.
One word from the recognized authorities of the
United States in New Orleans would have secured
its adjournment.
There were other causes of offense than the con-
vocation of this assembly. Its members were, and
had been, firm supporters of the government, aud
decided opponents of its enemies. They were,
therefore, marked men. The wounds inflicted
upon the body of DR.. Dostie will show by their
number and result the intent and assurance of his
murderers / knew him well. No country ever
gave birth to a more unseldsh man, a truer pa
trtot or a more devoted friend of liberty. He and
his associates were dangerous men to the enemies
of this country. The unseen hand that smote him
was that which applied the torch to the city of
New York, and by which Lincoln fell. His death
will be avenged and in this as in all trials of good
men, the blood of the martyrs will be the susten-
anoe of the church.
am, sir, respectfully yours, ETC.,
