THE FE MAN 8.
Official Circular from O'MahOny-StrIc-
lures ON KiLI1an.

From the NeU York Herald
There is aiterrible cross fire of pronunciamentos
lust now between the late cheitarnS of Union
square, whose doings have been unmasked, and
whose cosy nests have been vacated in conse-
quence by the enraged rank and tile of the Man
haitian Barony.
o'MAHoNYITE ONSLAUGHT ON KILLIAN.
The "tug of war" seems to lie between O,Ma =.
hony and Killian. Some weeks age O'Mahony
issued, through the columns of the Herald, a
magnificent puff of B. d. Killian, saying he was
worth more to Ireland, at present and in pro-
spectIve than all the malcontent Senatorials
put together" Killian was created chief cash
handler, and the cash Is now the bone of con-
tention between the high chieftalns and high
privates. Killian comes in for hard knocks.
OMahony has demolished himself and his East
port expedition in an immense toolscap circular
giving detailed analysis of that famous cam
paign.
O'Mahony claims that the plan was proposed
by Mr.. b. ID. Killan;" that 1t was partially
founded on supposltlon that ''the other enc
mics of Britain" (Roberts-Sweeney malcon-

belief in KIllian's representation as to the neu.

grounds, which were debated by the High Coun-
Gil in the celebrated palace secret session.
These statements of Killian O'Mahony now
stamps as false, and charges Killian with mall
contentism in ordering the fighters to report
without O'MahonY's consent. He says:-
"Next day, unfortunately, by the erroneous state

members of the New York circles the lighting

ledge or consent, ordered TO report for immediate
duty, and throw up all emplOyments, l was induced

game played out at Eastport, he "telegraphed
an order for the prompt recall of the men,
which order was not complied with" until fur
ther large expenditures" were made. He says,
''t was the plan, or rather, the handling OF the
plan was defective" Referring to the trial
going on, he pleads for pardon, and winds up
thus:-
"The whole matter is now under consideration be-
