Just taken place here, we are told, no less
damning in its circumstances than that
of Mr.. Toury for marrying Annie Sur
raft, reported yesterday, and in which
the notorious Gen. John A Logan is no
less implicated. Martin Renchase has
thus been displaced as a messenger in
the Sixth Auditors office, for the damn>
ing offense of suffering his wife to rent
room in his house to an ex-Confederate
officer to assist her in feeding and cloth
ing her family, this officer having been,
in the years before the war, friend to
every member of her household, both
officially and personally. --.-.-.
Martin Renchase is an Irish Catholic,
and was first drawn into the public SER
vice as door keeper OF the White House
by President Jackson, during the latter
part of his administration. He served
in that capacity for the remainder Of the
term Of President jackson, and for his
fidelity to duty was continued by Presi-
dents Van Buren,, Harrison, Tyler, and
Polk. Towards the termination of Folks
administration he was, however, dis
placed for some particular faVOrite. Ours
ing Taylor's administration and that of
Fillmore he was made a messenger in the
War Department, where he continued,
giving entire satisfaction, until the close
of President Lincoln's administration,
Senator Cameron, of Pennsylvania, be.
ing his fast friend. He was now trans
ferred from the War Department to the
Sixth Auditors Office in the Postoffice
Department, receiving his new appoint
ment OF messenger from the hands of Mr.
| Chandler, the Assistant Secretary Of the
Treasury; and here he has remained,
giving entire satisfaction to Mr.. Hazlett
and the whole division. With these an
tecedents he has been notified, never
theleSs, that his services are dispensed
with, and negro installed in his place
The offence on the part of his wife in let
ting room in his house to an old friend,
who happened to be Southern man, was
not to be passed unavenged by Gen. Lo-
gan and the Grand Army, and again the
sanctuary of private life is invaded at the
instigation of spy and informer.
1t may be of consequence also to state
that Martin Renchase was the first head
centre of the Fenian organization in the
city of Washington, and is sull an active
member of that body, and that his Oldest

to the American people, in which they ask
their sympathy and assistance on the
ground that at least 100000 Americans
have Irish blood in their veins, and that Ire
land has been the natural ally of Ameri-
ca from the time Of the revolution to the
present day, while England has been the
persistent enemy Of the republic as is
shown by her hostile action during the
rebellion. They declare that the Irish
people are ready to unite with America
and that such a union, backed by brave
and devoted people would give to the
United States the control Of the commerce
OF Europe. In conclusion they ask for the
corporation of every tue American with
cut distinciion Of party.
