THE FENIANS AFTER ONEILL.

The great Fenian chieftain General O'Neill
is in exceedingly bad odor just at the present
moment with the rank and file of the Fenian
army. The arrest by the civil officers of a
general while engaged in leading his troops
upon the field of battle has, to say the least,
something suspicious about it, and it is boldly
charged not only that O'Neill is coward, but
that he deliberately betrayed the cause of
Irish liberty. The curses bestowed upon the
ONeill are both loud and deep, and many of
his late companions-in-ar do not hesitate
to threaten his life if any opportunity pre-
sents itself after he is released from
the custody of the United States
authorities, in which event
first. Independently of his suspicious and

THE LNVITATIO TO THE SEVENTH
REGIMENT

IHE In VIIAIIONI ~ THE SH PENIH
REGIMENT
The refusal of Mayor Fox to sanction an off,
cial tender of the hospitalities of the city of
Philadelphia to the 7th New York Regiment
excited an amount of indignation in "the
metropolis" that was entirely disproportionate
to the occasion. The 9TH Regiment is the
pet of New York, and although its perform
ances upon the CORY plain of battle have not
been such as to entitle it to any very marked
consideration, it is apparently impossible for
the New Workers to conceive state
of civilization so much behind the age,
in a place not one hundred miles from
"the metropolis" that it's citizens are not
inspired with an admiration of the 7th
equal to theirs, and their scorn of Phila-
delphia is consequently expressed in no
very measured terms 1t is to be hoped that
the wounded pride of New York will be, in
some measure at least, satisfied with the very
cordial invitation extended to the 7th
Regiment to partake of the hospitalities of
Philadelphia by number of prominent citi-
zens, with Mayor Fox at their head. There
is always a willingness ia this city to receive
with cordiality any distinguished military or
ganization, even if it did not win laurels at
the cannons mouth, and the 7th Regi-
ment, if it accept this invitation, will GER
tainly have no cause to complain of want of
heartiness in its welcome. An invitation
of this kind, however, is something
different from what was at first pro-
posed, and the course of Mayor Fox in vetoing
the proposition to entertain the 7th Regi-
ment at the expense of the city was based
upon such sufficient grounds as to meet with
the approval of all classes of our citizens, ex-
cept few persons who felt themselves i'm
mediately interested, and as to leave no rea-
sonable cause for complaint for any one. 1t
is not proper that this city should be called
upon to pay for the entertainment of the
New York 7th or any other regiment, except
under very extraordinary circumstances, such
as do not exist in the present instance, but it
is proper that our private citizens should pro-
vide such entertainment if they think there
is occasion for it, We therefore hope that
the 7th Regiment will visit Philadelphia, and
that its members will enjoy themselves so
we'll during their stay in this city that they
will have no occasion to regret the absence
of any official formalities that might have
attended reception on the part of the mu-
nicipal government.

cowardly behavior, the Fenians also charge
that General ONeill has in his possession a
large amount of money collected from the
hard earnings of Irish laborers, which it is
suspected that he purposes to appropriate to
his own use. This is more than likely, and it
only proves the truth of what half the news
papers in the country have said from the first
about this whole miserable business. 1t is
perfectly clear to the unprej judiced mind that
the various raids against Canada have only
been attempted for the sake of stimulating
contributions, and that the amount
expended from the Fenian trea-
sury for arms and munitions of war
is very limited indeed in comparison with
what goes into the pockets of such lazy and
good-fOr-nothing vagabonds as ONeill, who
live and grow rich upon the credulity and
folly of their llow-countrymen. 1t is
scarcely to be expected that the Irish laborers
will need the good advice that is given them
and hold fast to their hard earnings, but it is
possible that with the practical experience
they now have of the kind of men who are
at the head of the Fenian movement, they
will have wisdom enough not to be fooled
again, in the same manner at least The
Irish certainly have good cause to hate Eng
land, but it is obvious to any but genuine
Hibernians that the way to liberate Ireland is
not through Canada, and they ought to know
by this time that engaging in annual raids
against the Kanucks is not the way to secure
either the sympathy or support of the people
of the United States, without which they can
assuredly do nothing, at least with this
country as a base of operations.

POSTAL STATLSTICS.

POSTMASTER GENERAL CRBswBLL has submitted to
the Senate, in response to resolution OF inquiry
from that body some valuable statistics in connec-
tion with the postal service OF the United States.
Mr. Creswel says that the number OF letters only
be approximately estimated on the amount of letter
postage collected in money the amount OF postage
stamps sold and reasonable estimate for free mat
ter The number of letters delivered In the United
States during the fiscal year 1868 was estimated at
4Ss,OO0,Oo0. Mr.. Creswells predecessor, in his
nual report OF that year, estimated the whole num-
ber Of letters at 1000 0OO which estimate he has
been unable to verify by reliable data, and con-
slider excessive, as shown by the fact that the
number OF letters delivered in the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland where the single rate
OF postage is only one penny-two cents-and the
postage receipts fve millions of dollars per
greater than In the United States, Oncially re-
ported for the calendar year 1867 at only TIA OOO
The number OF stamps stamped envelopes, and
newspaper wrappers sold, and the value thereof as
stated in the last four annual reports OF this depart
