The Consolidation of The Rival " Wings
Of Fenians. ~


The quarrel between the Roberts and
Savage factions of Fenisns is about at
an end.
John Savage, representing one wing
of the Fenians, and committee OF the
Fenian Senate, of which +. B. Gallagher
was the chairman, have been in CORE
spondenee for some time past as to the
hest measures to be adopted to bring
about settlemer. of the differences.
The basis Of consolidation sg eed npon
is substantially as follows: That the
constitution adopted at Philadelphia, in
October, 1855, be proclaimed as the su-
preme law of the Brotherhood that the
name of Senate be changed to 'Coun-
cil.' and that seven members to be Sc
lected from the Roberts wing, and q like
number from the Savage wing, have
power to elect an additional mem Der,
making Council of fifteen; that Col.
W.R Roberts and John Savage, repre-
senting these wings, Jointly tender the
Office of President Of the organization
to John Mitchell, and in case of his nom
acceptance to select another person for
the position; that the officers of each
organization make full exhibit of all
moneys, property and material of war
now on hand, and that all circles be at
once enrolled in the united brotherhood"
According to the above provisions the
office of President has been rendered to
John Mitchell, and declined. The inter
val of one week after the declension hav-
ing expired, as provided for by the con-
stitution, the Council of Fifteen were to
have met to-day to elect a permanent
President; but, as some of the members
reside in distant places, and were not
able to reach this city to-day, the cleo
ton has been postponed till Monday

A Pleasant Domestic Affair.

From the Indianapolis Herald.J
On Christmas morning package was
delivered at the door of nice little cot
tage in the upper part Of the city, ten
anted by Mr.. s. and his young wife, who
have resided there since their marriage,
period of three moons The package
aforesaid was done up in neat and
tasty manner and directed in an elegant
hand, evidently that of lady, to " Mr..
E. S., Indianapolis, Indiana" I" Mr..
Z. s." was absent, and his charming
wife received the consignment Think
ing the box contained Christmas gift
from distant friend of her husband,
and prompted by pardonable curiosity,
not confined exclusively TO her sex, she
proceeded to open it with all convenient
dispatch. The first revelation was an
unsealed note, which the happified lady,
opening, read as follows: 5a
at BosToS, December q. 1857.
DEAR E: | have just heard Of your
marriage from mutual friend, and sup
posing you will hardly be able to fulfill
your engagement by consummating our
union on Christmas, as agreed between
us, l send your letters as the most ap-
propriate gift can think of to complete
your felicity on that day. That their
attentive perusal may conduce to your
lasting peace of mind, is the wish of
SUSIE.
We don't propose to describe the
lady's feelings while perusing the above,
nor shall we attempt portrayal OF her
emotions during the inspection Of the
hundred and seventeen letters, each
breathing undying affection, unchang-
ing truth, constancy, devotion and all
that sort of thing. The dates of the let
ters (and here is where the joke comes
in) corresponding exactly with the dates
of similar pile written by that same
dear hand to her.
"And treasured as we keep
Things lovely, precious and beloved
O'er which to watch and weep"
A still more cruel joke was the fact
that some half dozen of the letters,
boiling over with raging love, had been
written subsequently to his marriage,
which event was studious!y ignored,
while he "ooked forward with intense
longing to the blissful hour that should
see him united with his darling Susie. "
We leave the reader to imagine the re-
ception he met when he went home to
his Christmas dinner.
