The Irish American Central Reform League

LAST September The Republican party, Of III

without any new departure, Is equal to the cor
reoting oIexisting abuses, and the perfecting Of
needed reforms, and its mission Will not have
ended until they are accomplished" The au-
thor Of tHis resolution was Senator Trumbull.
The following, from the Chicago Posi-, is

A Row OF NEW YoRK TAMMAYY RoUGHs.-A
Rendish fight, occurred Tuesday afternoon in
front Of Tammsny Hall, New York. between
political roughs For some time the Tsmmany-
ites have been in a violent ferment over the re-
cent primary election for reorganization. Two
tickets we're claimed to be elected-one headed
by Samuel ]. Tilden, and the other by James
Irving. . notorious leader Of roughs. This
election was declared void by the committee and
new enrolment ordered, which Infatuated the
Irving crowd. who declared vengence against
the Tiiden men. The new enrolment was made
last Friday and Saturday, and as it showed
majority of Tilden men, thus securing the cleo
ton of the Tilden ticket, the Irving men i'm
mediately entered their protest, claiming that 1t
was fraudulent. The hearing of the committee
attracted = great crowd of roughs about the
entrance to the hall, among whom were Owen
Georbevan. notorious brUiser, John
Henoessy, aliss The Clipper -; and
large number of the adherents Of Irving,
gathered to intimilate the Tilden men. The
proceedings went on quietly within until the ap-
pearance of one Michael McNally,an inspector at
the election, and Tilden man. As he approached
the entrance to the hall. and was about passing
il, he was confronted by Geoghegan, Hennessy and
O'Connell. Without a word Hennessy struck
hima violent blow in the face which knocked him
down; Geoghegan kicked him in the side, which
sent him SPRAYING scross the sidewalk into the
gutter, and Hennes,y and o. Cornell then sprung
upon him, and the latter held him down while the
former pounded his head with the butt-end of 8
pistol, inaicting frightful wounds- Managing
at last to break away, McNslly staggered across
the street toward Third avenue, pursued by
shouting. yelling crowd Turning suddenly he
pointed pistol at his pursuers, when they opened
fire upon him. At least seven shots were fired,
several of which took effect, one in the region OF
the heart During the fusillade Henne.sy at

THE GRAND TRUNK

The attempt is made to dissusie US from our
movement West, by reference TO the discOursg-
ing experience of the Grand Trunk. which, sc
cording to certain representations. would be
more properly entitled the Grand Failure.
Nothing could be more unfortunate than the CT
tation. Whatever has done Portland good, the
Grand Trunk has done it more good. 1t has
doubled our population and trebled our wealth.
1t has given us two trans-ocesn steamship lines,
and has raised US to the rank Of fourth in the
amount Of goods passing through the Custom
House, diFputing closely the position of third.
But for the .brogation of the Reciprocity treaty,
the most dreadful blow the prosperity of this
city ever received, it would have done far more
for US.
The ability CT the Grand Trunk to compete with
the Boston roads West, is sufficiently evinced in
the fact that Boston has received $50 600 barrels
of -four in one year, via Portland and the Grand
Trunk The report of the Chicago Board of
Trade for 1870 shows that the rates from Chi
cage to Boston by its lines, and to Portland by
the Grand Trunk, were precisely the same,
Sl.40 on -four, and On grain, bulk meats.
and dressed hogs, per hundred pounds, 49,,
80. and 120 cents respectively. 1t WAS the
courage and money Of Portland that launched
the Grand Trunk into being; and the ZANE cour-
age and the same money will build another Grand
Trunk to the West. The opposition and the rid
icule We are now provoking are but the repeti-
ton Of what were poured out upon our nrst at

To the Editor Of the Free Press
The recent action of Underhill and Jericho, in
the matter Of aid to the Northern Vermont
Lake Chsmpltin Railroad, is regarded with
much satisfaction here. 1t is looked upon as
smother step toward the u innate and not dis
tsnt connection, by commercial ties, Of Portland,
On the Atlantic, snd Burlington, On the great
receiving basin Of Lake Chsmplain. Receirlng
basin it may be fifty called, for the construction
Of the Csughnawsga Canal cannot be long de-
layed, which will make your extended bay
huge wet dock for the reception Of products
from all the vast region tributary to the great
lakes. In the great transportation thence 20 be
derived Portland intends to share. Her mer-
chants intend TO sell goods in Burlington, as
they dill Of CID. Preparatory to this we are
taking ssti7e measures to complete orr railroad
to Northern Vermont.
This railroad, as we have no: failed to obaerve,
seems to be exciting a remarkable interest IN

for us to diverge to this route or that; to join

CoyGR3 ssIoNAL -ru5sl,y afternoon IN tae
Senate was occupied by the discussion Of the
resolution Of Nj. Morrill, Of Vermont to protect
the Treasury on deprelatioas hy those who
were rebels in the recent struggle. Congress, it
will be remembered. gave the Court Of Claims
iuri,diction over captured snl sb-rioaed pro
perry, in cases when should be preseate1 BY
loyal persons only. By s recent decision the
Supreme Court have removed the restriction 20
th.t st present rebels stand On the ZANE footing
in the Court of Claims "a persons in the loyal
States who we're loyal from the beginning. Mr..
Morrilrs amendment confines the Jurisdiction Of
the court, as wss originally intended, to loyal
persons, and prohibits traitors and rebels from
receiving pay for property they abandoned or
had to give up to the Uaion troops. Mr.. Nor
ton remarked tbat If this amendment wss not
adopted he should next expect TO see = bill in
troduced for the payment ofpensions TO wounded
or disabled Confederate soldiers. On motion
to lay the Morrill, amendment on the table there
was tie vote, ani the Vice President decided it
in the negative The m,in question is still
pending.
A sharp running debate took place on the
Fourteenth Ameniment between Messrs. Ed
munds and Thurman. Mr. Thurman, abiding
to the Cincinnati Convention, expressed his re-
greet thSt Messrs. Schurz and Trumbull, the
Lieutenan;s who had organized it, were not in
their se.is when it was discussed. Mr.. Ed
munds retorted By saying tina; it was well to
speak Of these Senators as Lieutensnts, for the
Captains aud Generals who were directing the
Cincinnati movement were the leaders Of the
Democratic party.
The Senate Committee on Elections reported
that they hsi examined the credentials Of Mr..
Ransom. Senator from South Carolina, and
recommended that Mr. Ramon be admitted to
his seat. Mr.. Ransom vas sworn in.
Mr.. Thurman eaid that now, for the FIRE; time
since 1862, every seat in the Senate was filed
and every State in the Uniou was Represented on
the floor. 1t was fact upon which the Senate
and the country might well congratulate them
selves.
The House considered reports from the Com
mittee on Invalid Pensions Among the bills
passed was one FOR the relief of Sarah McNsmee,
widow of soldier of the First Regiment Yer
mont Artillery; also, Senate bill granting
pension to Msry Armstrong, widow of Thomas
