New York, January 20.-At length,
after much anxious expectancy, some of
the released Fenian prisoners have ar
rived. At seven o'clock last night the
steamship Cuba appeared at the upper

one would arrive, but the balance will

intense excitement, each committee en-

strations of welcome, it was resolved by
the Fenians to remain aboard the vessel

this morning.
The committee of the Methodist book
concern remained in executive session
yesterday without reaching basis OF
settlement on which the charges against
DIR. Lanahan could be withdrawn. The
postponement of the trial may not be
regarded as the certain final adjourn
ment of the case. The case is attended
with peculiar difficulties, arising from the
unwillingness of persons directly inter
ested to make any concession in the form
of a withdrawal and the reinstatement of
DR.. Lanahon, whether conditioned or
unconditional, for debate during the ses-
sion, and finally referred to special
committee for consideration over night.
The final adjustment will be made this
morning on the reassembling Of the com
mittee, when the results will be given TO
the public. The halls and ante-rooms
we're thronged during the session with
clergymen and laymen of the Methodist
Church, and much impotence is ex-

Since the Government has come to be
a machine to be run for the benefit OF q
party, it viii go into all sorts of specu-
lations. 1t is intent on going into the
mining business. Says the Cincinnati
Commercial: at will be remembered
that Ben Butler invented the notion that
the President was opposed to proceed
ing in the regular course of law, decid-
ing the claim of the New Idria Mining
Company to the quicksilver mine that
McGarrahan has attempted TO possess
By having exposed frauds-that the
President opposed regular proceedings,
because he wanted the people to have
the benefit of the mine, which is sup
posed TO be worth millions. The idea
tha. the Government should take posses
sion Of the most valuable mines and
work them for the people, is novelty.
In order to meet the emergency Mr..
johnson, of California, has introduced
a bill. the purpose Of which is to put
the Government into the mining busi-
ness on shares with the miners.
