VIEWS OF THE CABINET.

WASHINGTON, July 2l.-Coloncl War
rem, representing the Fenians imprison-
ed in England, called to-day upon Sc
cretaries Boutwell, and Robson and At
torney General Hoar, and laid the case
before them, with view to secure their
aid when the subject comes before the
Cabinet. as it is expected it will when
the President returns.
Colonel Warren found Messrs. Bout
well and Robenson favorably disposed,
and got from them "a promise to give the
matter their attention and support in the
Cabinet. Mr.. Hoar, however, gave it as
his opinion that Warren, Costello and
their associates had no business in
Ireland, and that as Fenians generally
were engaged in an unlawful enterprise,
they could not expect any aid or synpa-
thy from the United States.

for long time refused. But Mr.. JAN

was that the Indians had to yield.
They surrendered six of the men, and
recalled the rowing plunderers. The

A prototype of these leaders of the
Democratic party who cannot cOnpre-
bend that some things have passed away,
is found by the New York Sun in the
story "of deacon who lived in the good
old days when everybody ON the easirrn
side of the Hudson drank New Eng.
land rum. This deacon was accustomed
for the space of fifty years TO take his
eleven O'Clock and four o clock refrcsher
of that orthodox beverage. At these pre-
else hours he WAS wont to go to the well,
and with the old oakcp hncket tina. In, :,
from the antique sweep draw pail OF
water to cool and molify his morning and
evening dram. In process of time, full!
Of years and honors, the deacon was
gathered to his fathers. But the we'll
sweep still lived and such was the force
of habit upon it, coupled with its inca
pacty to forget anything 1t had once
learned, that for long years after the
deacon was dead the well-sweep con
tinued to go up and down so regularly
at eleven and four o'clock that all the
tools in the neighborhood set their
watches by it. So 1t is with the lenders
of the Democratic party. Forgetting
that negro slavery and all its concomi-
tants. and tho Calhoun dogma of State
Rights and all its sequences, are as dead
as the Connecticut deacon, they go up
and down the gamut of their praises
with the regularity of his well-sweep
while many of their deluded followers
keep step with the music.

since the State Police of Massachusetts
commenced to enforce the new liquor

against them. The librarian accordingly
ordered in Boston spring lock with
fifty keys for members. He has waited
some time, and no lock aud keys have
come. In answer to repeated inquiries
for reason, at last the agent writes that
the demand is very great, and they have
not been able to fill orders. This is ac-
companied by an encouragement to pa

lect that the liquor law is being enforced
