RurTrRE AMoNG THE DisTErcr TLHrANs.-
We are In receipt of the following, which VIC
say before our readers as matter of news:
We learn that feud has for some time past
existed between General OMEN, president of
Tic Fcuian brotherhood, and MI. Jas, Ryan,
until Lately at the head OF the organization in
this District, and their respective adherents,
which eliminated in an open rupture about a
week ago: Mr.. Ryan, who has been connected
with the brotherhood since Its first organiza-
tion-sOmc nine years ago-withdrawing him
self from its mcmbcrship in disgust.
In retiring, Mr.. Ryan addressed q lengthy
communication to the District brotherhood,
in the course ofwhch he charges substantially
that since the resignation Of Col. Roberts the
organization has "dcgcnerated into Hat, down
right ONdhoRCyi7m;n q term which he dctnCs
as ignominous with one man poweriHm, intoi-
GRANGE, utter disregard OF principle and con-
stitutiOnll restraint. and Ostracism on account
Of an independent expression OF opinion in
the circle, Nc., and characteriZcs the fcuian
brotherhood, as at present conducted, ~ an
aggregation Of lions led By asses.
Mr.. Ryan alleges that certain Of ONcilps
partisans have subjected him to annoyance
and misrepresentation since his withdrawal,
in consequence Of which he proposes to lay
before the public, at an early day, a full and
complete statement of all the facts, and from
his intimate knowledge of Fenian affairs
some rich developments may be anticipated
He lCspairs of any good being accomplished
for Ireland until the organization Is thoroughly
reorSanizcd, and beyond all united, with The
right men in the right places, and states that
then. and not before, will he seek rcadmission
to it's ranks.
All the indications point to An early disFup-
ton OF that branch of the Brotherhood over
which General VNclll prcsidcs, II an carly
change in its adm Illustration be not speedily
effected.
