THE PRESENT STATUS or FENIAN.
ISM IN THE UNITED STATES.

From the New AOrk Tribune, Feb. 9.
At present, the Brotherhood in the United
States, with the exception of thirty or forty
circles, recognize hut one head and that is
President VIM. r. Roberts. Over seven
hundred and fifty circles recognize his au-
thority, and ere the LIST Of March one thou
sand circles ofthe Fenian organization will
be in operation in America. The State of
New York has already one hundred circles
in good standing, working actively and
quietly. Pennsylvania about the same
number Ohio has forty five; illinois, sew
enty-hve; Michigan, thirty-siX; and the
other States of the Union an equal propot-
ton, who are lsbOring for the same end.
The clrciRs are arming quietly aud without
ostentation or any publicity, and uniforms
are being provided for the members of the
Organizations IN thousands. The Brother
hood has the most unanimous confidence
and dependence on the promises Of Presi-
dent Roberts, chiefly owing to the fact that
he is, as a prominent Fenian said a few
days ago, rich enough TO be honest" Sub
sCriptlons are being received daily, and the
amount of business transacted daily Is al
most wonderful. The Fenians of San
Francisco California. have Just sent $4,000
in gold dust 10 the headquarters in Broad
way, which arrived by Wells 4 FaTgO's
Express, and also sent limitations that
"more was coming soon.' The Fenians Of
Idaho City also expressed box TO Presi-
dent Roberts, containing SS0S in gold dust,
accompanied by a letter expressing conf
dence in his patriotism, and confessing
themselves satisfied and confident of the
success Of his plans against the British gov
eminent Every day that passes bring
with il recognition Of the authority OF
the Senate of the Fenian Brotherhood, aud
nearly all Stephens adherents are DESERVING
him and Joining Roberts, turning over the
moneys and books of their circles.

the President, nor do / know his
opinion; and in the vote which / shall
give on this question, neither the gen.
tleman from Pennsylvania, nor any
other man, has a right to assume that
accept the Presidents policy in the slightest
degree. Ihope for change Of his position,
and 1 think that is not impossible and is
worth trying for
The House proceeded TO vote by tellers
on seoOhding the previous questionable
DemOcrpts voting sOlidly against it, with
sufficient support from the Republican
ranks 10 make the negative vote 80, against
the affirmative vote of 81. The result
seemed togiYe more than theusnai salisfac-
ton to the winning side
