the O'Mahony faction, are beginning
to unearth very strange facts. It
seems that, until the Philadelphia
Congress had closed its sessions.
there had not been any such thing as
an account book in the possession of
John O'Mahony & Co. Immense
sums were received daily from the
organizations throughout the coun-
try, but nobody can tell what was
done with the money. 1t appears
that Col O'Mahony drew $50, 600 for
some purpose or another given to our
reporter. Money was paid out in
profusion to centres, organizers,
agents and other officials in the most
indiscriminate and reckless manner.
A Col. Mulcahy was given a rowing
commission, with the snug little sum
of $1,000, for some unknown and
mysterious cause. 700 copies of the
Daily Ne,cs and 500 copies of news
paper called the Citizen, containing
laudatory articles on the late Head
Centre O'Mahony $1,000 were
drawn to remunerate pilots who were
to lead an imaginary feet to Ireland
around the Horn, probably. A head
directress of the Fenian Sisterhood
received 81, 500 a year for her ser
vices, and her clerk received $500 a
year for his onerous duties. A bond
agent received salaries for three diff
ferent Offices under the O'Mahonv
regime. One Mr.. J. J. Rogers, now
resigned or decapitated, received $12
per day for his services in the army

The board bill of the military con-

The FREEDMEN BUREAU.-Gens.
Fullerton and Steedman had an in
terview, on Saturday last, in Savan-
nah, with large number of the most
influential citizens of that place. A
free interchange of opinions took
place, and in the progress of the con-
versatlon, Gen. Steedman remarked
"that the negroes. wherever he had
passed, had borne testimony to the
kindness Of the intelligent people of
the South; they regarded them as
til cir friends, and had made no COM
plants, except of certain class in
the cities, whom they denominated
roughs.' The conclusion arrived at
is reported in the Ne,rS and HeruId
in the following terms:
"That the tendency Of the Freed
mems Bureau was mischievous in re-
cognizing the whites as the enemies
of the blacks, and that if it were
withdrawn, the responsibility felt by
the people to protect and care for the
freedmen would be increased"
Gems. Steedman and Fullerton have
gone to Augusta.

GLADSTONE ON AMER1CA.--In his
speech at Liverpool, on the reform
question, Mr. Gladstone said:
I think it is our business, Us men
of sense, to draw lessons from the ex-
perlence of mankind, hear, hear,
and from the facts that come under
our view, whether they be in despotic
countries, or in constitutional coun-
tries, or in countries Republican or
Democratic. Hear, hear. And the
point which I ask you to observe is
this-not the comparative merits of
English or American institutions, but
this single and important point of the
effect that has been produced in Ame-
rica by largely extended popular
franchises, by widely spread parti-
cipation on the part of the people in
the choice OF the governors, the won
derful, unexampled and almost in
credible effect that has been produced
by the system in giving forcible ex-
preston to the national will. and in
enabling the Government to develop
energies for the purpose of giving
effect to that will, such as have pro-
badly never been developed in equal
times and almost equal numbers of
men since the race of man began
upon the earth. Applause. Less

CooLIE LABOR. The subject of
Coolic labor for the rice fields of the
South continues to attract consider
able attention among the Southern,
and, indeed, the Northern press.
For our own part, we are unwilling
to conclude any opinion upon the
subject till further experience of the
capacity and conduct of the negro as
Il free laborer The Norfolk Tir-
gi"its says, however:
The malaria of the rice fields is
fatal to the Caucasian, and no more
certain death can be incurred than
that which follows exposure on the
great plantations of the Pee Dee and
Savannah after dark. 1t is equal to
prussic acid-not so swift, but as in
fnlliblc.
There Is a race, however, which
can be made available for rice culture.
and it will not be until the Orient has
been made tributary to our necessi
ties that this great staple can again
be grown to any considerable extent.
The Coolies are the people who can
do this work; who can stand the eli
mate; who will do it, and gladly, too,
for compensation far below that of
half the crop, which to them would
be what the possession of Aladdin's
lamp or IL Hoes egg would have been
to us-the realization of table-the
substantlation Of magic. They are
Injured to burning sun; they are do
clle and easily subsisted. Contracts

Was that of Andy johnson the other day,
when he decided that hestood now as he stood
during the war. He has simply waved his mag
ic wand and repeated the cabalistic words,
'presto! changed when all the Union men in

secessonists, and all the secessionists, traitors
and rebels and Union haters became in the
same moment the very best friends of the I'm
ion the loyal patriotic, law abiding and law

joke to say that Lyman and Richardson have
the most desirable stock of Boots and Shoes,
