The FENIANs dN IRELAND. -A.late dis
patch from Dublin says, that "a fight took
place on Tuesday night, the 5th, at Talaght,
about eight miles south of Dublin, between
armed police and body of Fcnians. One
of the latter was killed, five wounded, and
eighty taken prisoners The main body of
the Fenians retreated to the hills north of
Dublin, with the commander of the British
forces in vigorous pursuit The police sta
tlon at Killmac, county of Munster, was at
tackled by two hundred Fenians, who were
also rernlsed, leaving three of their number
dead ON the field, and losing fourteen pris-
oners Thirteen prisoners were taken at
Limerick. Over two hundred prisoners
have been brought to Dublin since the com
mencement of the outbreak. The Fenians
seem well supplied with rations, and appear
to have risen in all parts of ireland. There
is said to be much suffering among those
who fled to the mountains, on account of
the cold and exposure The present rising
is, however, considered failure, notwith-
standing the apparent general outbreak in
all parts of the country"

The ARREST OF SURRATT. Some days
since committee was appointed by Con
gress, to inquire what effort had been made
by the Government authorities to arrest
John ii. Surratt. The committee expert
.enced no difficulty in reaching the conclu-
sion that but little effort had been made in
that direction. They say the Executive
neither made any demand upon England for
his surrender, nor sent any detective or
agent to Liverpool to identify Surratt, or to
trace his movements, Notwithstanding there
was ample time to do SO. He did not, they
further say, give notice to our Minister at
Rome, that Surratt intended to go there,
though the government had every reason to
believe that such was his intention The
reward for his arrest was revoked so long
ago as November, 1865, and subsequent
ly no steps were taken to identify or pro-
cure the arrest of SIrratt Though the
Secretaries of State and War and others
submitted testimony to justify the course of
the Government. the committee are yet
constrained, from the testimony. to report
that, in their opinion, due diligence in the
arrest OF Snrratt was not exercised by the
Executive Department" They do not,
however. charge that this lack of diligence
was the result of any improper motives.

A Coon BEGINNING -Messrs Sclye and
Stewart, two independent Democrats elected
from New York to the XLth Congress, at
tended the first meeting of the Republican
caucus. 1t is fair to infer that these gen.
tlemen intend to act as they unquestiona-
bly, should, with the Republican party To
be an independent Democrat, is of course to
be in antaeonism with that faction which
dishonesty calls itself the Democratic party.
To be en- independent Democrat, in fact, is
is to be Republican. All true Republi-
cans are pure Democrats. No man can be
true Democrat without believing in Repub-
lican principles-without acting in harmony
with those who believe in universal freedom
and the rights of mankind. Messrs. Selye
and Stewart doubtless appreciate these facts.

Revenue frauds, reveals the fact that the
Government has been defrauded out of one

is being withheld by the distilers through

are connived at by those in the employ of the
Govsrnment-many of whom it is said have
suddenly become quite wealthy.
