Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1871-01-27

Sveeny's Hotel and the approaches
TO Il were the scene Of the most lively
excitement, caused by the cOngTega-
ton Of numberless mpathiZers with
the Fenian prisoners. The green flag
was flying from the highest flagstaff
on the roof Of the hotel, and this very
patriotic emblem seemed TO serve as
a araIlying point for all who desired 10
pay the FeniaGs q visit. O'DOnOvan
r Bssa, Charles Underwood O'COnnel,
Captain Mcclure, John Dewey and
Henry MuIlaly, were occupied during
the day in receiving their friends in
one Of the parlOrs Of the hotel, which
had been reserved for them. Crowds
of visitors poured in and out during
Ehe dav and shook hands with the
eEiIes, who grasped their hands fer
veutly and spoke to every one with
the kIndest Of good feeling.

A MESSAGE FROM PENNsYLVANIA. I
John II. MOriarty, President Of the
Irish Republican Association of Penn
sylvania, has sent a cOngTatUlatOry ,
dispatch 20 the Irish eXiles in New
York prOhering them kindly recep-
ton. He advises them TO beware Of
IL Hfrsf1 h. ]
saws. WOO them but TO use them for
base and INSCRIPTIONS purposes. He
also observes that 10 attain the respect
they so well deserve they must keep
alO0f from all political factions except
those who favor a war with England /
and the social and political elevation
OF the Irish race on both 1emispheres.
no PARADE FOR THB PRESENT.
Gen. Tweed, on calling at Sweeny's | I
Hel el, interviewed the Eenian chiefs [
as 10 their intentions in regard 10 the /
parade. The men stated they were I
opposed to any demonstration taking !
place on Monday, as they prefer TO
await the arrival Of their brother ex- | {
lies, who are expected here by FIJI {
day next.
or SUNDAY. {
The advent Of the Sunday brought :
none Of its rest, as proclaimed in the
Decalogue, to the beleaguered Fe-
mans lately arrived. Their quarters at
SWeeny's Hotel were filed at an early I
hour yesterday with men anxious to
shake their hands and wish them 8
cqe9 mile fqltb0 to Uncle Sans do !
miDious. In the regard Of friendly !
grrasps one fact is worthy Of being |
Brought before the public as a warning
10 air who are likely to preside over
the " honOrs" Of a Celtic reception
namely, that
ROssA's HAND Is SWOLLEN

Ms We 'l-Wishers. The process in each I
case is d, follows: EDter patriot, with !

more, or until some other Impatient {
patriot takes his place, the u2tOrtu- y
nate gentleman's hand being, during G
the entire time, in a clasp Of hearty q
human steel, and the arm from the
shoulder being kept in violent mo- 4
ton, r
LIKE THE BEAM OF A STEAM ENGINE. / 1,
O'DonOvan Rosa paid his first visit u
yesterday, in company with DR. James q
Mulcahy, physician to the exiles, and b
q Well-knOwn journalist of this city,
10 one Of the companions Of his early b
years, Mr.. John Scully, at his resi- d
denee, No. III Hester street. The Ii
party afterward had a short walk y
through the BoWery, after which they \
returned to 6Weeney's Hotel. DR.. q
Mulcahy has advised the eXiles that a D
respite from the excitement Of the re- e
ceptiOns which daily take place viii e
be absolutely necessary, in view OF y
the delicate condition Of O'COnnen s.
especially. Poor Dewey, one Of the {
most intrepid fellows who ever Ia
bored or suffered for Ireland, Is quite O
short. sighted, owing to the punish Y
ment meted out TO him in a close cell, / b
where the suns rays passed q
through perforated shutter ] e
