THE FENIANS ARRIVED.

Scrub Race for the Capture of the Irish
VOters-The Cuba Boarded by the Rival Com-
mttees-A Row In the Cabin.
At length, after much anxious expectation
some of the released Fenian prisoners have
arrived. At about o'clock last night the Cuba
appeared at Upper Quarantine, aud the anX-
iousy and oft asked question as to how mauy of
the released Fenians were actually on board was
solved. They turned out to be five only in num-
ber-Jeremiah O'Donovan Rosa, the best
known, perhaps, of ALI Charles Underwood
O'Connel John Devoe, Captain John Mcclure
and Henry s. Mulleda They met with what at
first seemed magnificent reception, but what
was in reality to the evident sorrow of the men
whom it was intended to honor-a political
move, resulting in dissatisfaction, dsunion, and
failure to achieve that genuine ecLdt which was
desired by many.
THE COLLECTORS COMMITTEE.
The committees of the Feniau organizations,
which Collector Murphy marshalled to capture
the coming voters yesterday, spent the greater
portion OF the day at the Astor House. in Parlor
No. H. About o'clock they went down to the
cutter Bronx, in order not to lose any time in
case the Cuba should be sgnalled, but at the
suggestion of the Collector they soon after re-
turned to the Astor House. At Z o'clock the
meeting was called to order by General Millen,
who stated that he had just had an interview
with the Collector, and had made arrangements
TO Illustrate the plans adopted by the Tammany
organization to torestall this committee.

Among the party left behind by the sudden de-
parture of the Bronx were number of United
1rishmen, but the whole of the Irish refugees
were, singularly enough, on hand ia time.
During the afternoon 1t was observed that there
h were contentious and iealousies cropping out
among the committee and fears were expressed
lest one party might, to use a familiar phrase,
indorse the other. The result proves that the
fears were correctly grounded.
TIE TAMMANY COMMITTEE.
Tammany Hall, as is well known, receatly
! made move in reference TO the reception of
4 the relieved Fenians that was meant to be pro-
ductive of great results in the way of political
J capital. Every effort was made to carry out the
plan TO successful issue, vigilance being
doubled, when it was discovered that an invita-
tion was about to be rendered to the patriots by
States So the welcome was narrowed down to
a paltry struggle between political parties.

steamer Antelope chartered for the occasion
by the Tammany Reception Committee, lay
y at Castle Garden, with steam up and ready
TO start at moments notice. At 4$4 o'clock
