OF James Stephens, went through The far.
manty Of offering reward Of 81 900 for his
capture. and at the same time refused to in.
vest{gate the circumstances OF his escape. Or
even TO punish ths officers through whose
want Of proper vigilance that escape was
only possible. There can hardly be any
question In the mind Of any calm observer Of
Fenianism, that Stephens has been playing
tho part Of fool, OF that he Is In point OF
fact acting in behalf of the British Gov
crnment, and nguinst those Of his country
men who repotc confidence in him.
We do not wish to be understood as 10 any
Way imreachlng the Justice OF the Fcu,an
cause when We 6ay that we do not expect
the slightest snccess to any movement made
under the auspices Of Stephens, or that spy
movement calculated to be successful will ey1
CT be undertaken by him. The Irish people are
very enthusiastic in all things relating to the
emancipation Of their country, and their own
patriotism makes. them most creau1ous.
They have been deceived time after time.
and always hy their own countrymeu. The
purest Of their patriots have been sold to
death OF bondage, and the honest ones have
been 1eaced Of their money and betrayed
into the hands Of the British, aud always by
men who won their confidence by blatant
professions Of superior zeal. Stephens has
been the head Of the Fcnian organization for
years. During that time money has been
flowing to him from all'narts OF the world.
Nothing. however, was done, until the Order
In America became clamorous, when the
British suddenly discovered Stephens, where
he had been residing for years, arrested him
