WASHINGTON, May 26. Dispatches
were received Of the State Department
yesterday, from United States Marshals
on the Canadian border, giving details OF
the gathering Of large bodies of men
along the line, but the objective point
or intentions were not stated,
Secretary Fish sent the dispatches to
the President. The Secretary believes
the Fenians mean mischief, and admits
they certainly conducted affairs ably
6eaeFal Sherman has ordered Generals
Mcdowell and COOKS, commanding the
border departments, to lend every assist
ance to the Marshals in preventing any
armed invasion Of Canada. Sherman
says we cannot prevent unarmed men
entering Canada, nnless proven they are
marauders bent upon mischief.
Tho United States steamer Michigan,
on the lakes, has been ordered to render
the Marshals all necessary assistance.
Gen. Banks, Chairman Committee on
Foreign Affairs, believes the Feniah
movement as only big scare, and en-
phatically declares he does not believe
the Fenians are going TO attempt the
capture of Canada or fight Great Britain
without assistance from this Govern
ment He trusts, however, il they do
make an attempt they will succeed he
believes as soon as We obtain foOthold on
the Antilles, Great Britain will withdraw
entirely from this continent

But the Appeal, the LEDGER and the
Sun are hurting alltheir thunder-boits al
the Irishmen who have announced them
selves as candidates, in the exercise OF
a right which belongs 10 every citizen
Avalanche this morning.
When the Avalanche had so little
space in which to say anything, being
crowded by the tax list, is it not strange
that, for the nonce at least, It could not
confine itself to the truth? In becoming
Radical, does it, like all other new con-
yerts, deem it duty to go to even
greater lengths than those ito the man
ner born2' 1t may rest assured it can
never lie itself ont of purgatory. We
disdain to meet detractor and calumni-
ator who Eliminates charges he cannot
sustain, and the contrary of which are
easily susceptible of proof positive; who
depends upon the effect of inuendo' ana
rests the hope of misleading and insplr
ing hostility through implication. The
Avalanche knows well that we have
never ''hurled thunderbolts' at the Irish
men merely because they were lrlshmen'
and that we have never denounced any
citizen because he quietly asked his fell
low-men to vote for him. Our columns
are open to investigation, and will not,
like the Avalanche, bear false witness
Nor have we, like the Avalanche, resorted
to the low chicanery of the demagogue'
and sought to create an erroneous I'M
preston by attributing to an adversary
thoughts, sentiments or expressions
which he has not entertained But 1t
appears natural to the Avalanche topur-
sue this perverse and illegitimate course.
A paper claiming in the same breath to
be neutral" and independent and
showing itself to be most Indignantly
anti-Democratic, may readily be under
stood as capable of uttering limitations
that are without foundation, and resort
ing to equiyocation to effect its object,
If Irishmen are to be gulled and cajoled
by any such stuff as the Avalanche would
cram in their ears, they deserve the asso-
citation to which the Avalanche would tie
them, and suffer from such mongrel
judiciary as it is understood the Ava
lanche is, in its own inimitable covert
way, comemnding to their sufrages.

WASHINGTON, D, c., May PA dele
CATION ofeight members Of the Pennsyl-
yania Legislature, headed by Joseph
Wilton, Of Pittsburg, arrived here to-day
to ask Congress to reimburse the coal
dealers of that city thirty thousand dol
lars, which they paid President Garrett,
Of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad for
widening spans Of the Parkersburg and
Bellaire bridge Is feet, making them 1926
feet, and to ask that the spans be further
enlarged to the width of four hundred
feet.
No doubt, from the character Of re-
marks in the House yesterday, some
thing will speedily be done to resent the
Spanish insults and invasion Of the rights
Of Americans abroad. 1t is stated that
the feeling is so intense that if propo-
sition is made and moved to allow Gen.
Banks to report thereon, that it would
be passed unanimously. As the case
stands, both sides of the House are
strongly committed to the Cuban cause,
and speedy action is expected regarding
the outrages ON Americans by the Span
ish.

forward movement was made. Several
attempts to reinforce Donnelly and effect
the release of his command proved futile.
The men are not at all disheartened, and
there are no desertions. On the con-
trary every train brings large accessions.
No doubt there will be more Sighting to-
dax and, though the Fenians may gain
a temporary advantage, it will be un-
availing, as all efforts at successful
raid are abortive. Several companies
of United States regular infantry and
artillery have arrived, and are encamped
near the border
CHICAGO, May 26.-The news of the
capture of General 0'Neill will not
check operations or dimish the ardor of
the chief Fenians The misfortune they
regard as the luck Of war, out they have
every confidence in the ability of other
generals who are at the front to fill
O'Neil's place as well if not better.
Therefore contributions will be solicited
to-day, and men will be pressed on as
fast as possible. Large sums of money
we're paid into the treasury yesterday,
and were as rapidly expended for trans
portatiqp purposes; and to-day it is ex-
pected that many of the more wealthy
Irishmen of the city will hand in checks
for large amounts. Record is kept of
every dollar collected, and name of every
contributor is kept for future reference
if necessary.
During the Fenian meeting last night
a Canadian spy was discovered in the
audience, and savage rush was made
for him. He bounded down stairs, the
Fenians following him, trampling each
other behind him, but he escaped unin-
jured
CINCINNATI, May 26.-The Commercial
asserts that over one hundred Fenians
left last night for the border, under the
command of officers informally elected.
They were without arms. and paid their
own way from private means. The fact
was unknown to others.

COUNSEL j. Hallock Drake OF that city, says that

indictment, will be withdrawn, and a plea OF
guilty of murder in The second degree entertained
at the January term Of that court, TO be held In
Goshen, and sentence OF imprisonment Tor life VIII

committed by Bufum while in ft OF insanity, and
