Fernando Wood.

IRON the new oFk Evening P0st.
The celebration Of St. Patrick's Day is never
missed by demagogues as an occasion for plying
their peculiar trade. The most conspicuous dem.
sRogue yesterday was Fernando Wood who, at
the banquet of the Knights Of st. Patrick, went
out Of his way TO solicit applause and accumulate
political capital Of an unworthy kind by CON-
msnding the farce now performing By the electors
Of TiDperary. He said:
ave had recently seen Of what character Eng
lands representative Government was; how far
the British Ministry, under the lead Of one man,
can control . representation OF people In iree
election In ireland, In the case OF John Mitchell.
He hoped the people, IL their representative was
again rejected, would repeat their election, and
II the Ministry finally assumed the respons.
bility ofrejectiDg the elected OF the people, be
hoped that history might repeat itself In that
country, where Incidents OF less gignihcance had

Mr.. Wood has been q member Of Congress

the sole Judge Of the qualifications OF It's own
members. He knows that the British House Of
Commons had Q perfect right to declare the
inellRiblllty Of Mitchell on the ground that he
was o convicted felon. He knows that exclusion
on that ground IL no more interference with 'irsp.

years old whom the people might elect as O rep

the Tibpefafy electors have been making bring
the ffish cause into fldieule and contempt. The

The First Plank.

Senator Anthony's resolution yesterday
passed the Senate by an united Union vote
This vote is a splendid and decisive assertion
Of the position of the Press, taken at the mo-
ment, literally under FIRE, and when almost
the whole Atlantic coast was wayering or
stood dumb and irresolute. II is a yindication
OF political judgment and fidelity to country
so signal and conclusive that we are justified
in bringing the fact into bold relief.
Writing in the very heat of the excitement,
with angry kilograms flying hourly from IN

Of new rebellion, we pleaded, Rising above

the State is very close, but which ever

PENNSYLVANIA POLITICS,
Mr., Speaker Hlaine's Nomination to be PEssi-
dent BY one Bingham,

From an Occasional Correspondent
An organization, styled the Seventh Ward Re-
publican Club, OF Philadelphia, nominated Hon,
James @, Blaine for President on the evening OF
March 10, at the very hour when the eX-Spsaksr
was partaking of Inequalities at the mansion Of
Henry Bingham, esq, court clerk Of the Qua
ker City.
When read the resolutions and proceedings
relative TO the nomination presumed that the
abOve-named organization possessed some power
and influence, and had within its ranks certain
men of position and bearing in politics but an
investigation into the location and membership Of
the club has shaken my faith IN its political sig
nifcaDce, and also revealed a curious and cOmical
discovery. 1t appears that the meetings are held
in the second story Of Lombard-street dwelling,
bordering on the SchuylEill river; that noisy
discussions take place frequently upon subjects
pending before Congress, q and that the number
In attendance rarely exceeds half score. (?)
The sayings and doings OF the members are ex-
tlemely funny, and SAVIOR so strongly OF the ludi-
crous than an eyewitness would be very wildly
reminded Of some Of the leading passages in Don
QuiXOte. The
PRESIDENT IS GRANVILLE LEACH,
q young lawyer of New Jersey, birth and extrac-
tion, who has resided in Philadelphia for some
years past. Hitherto he has not been identified
with any party, but recently has taken to politics
though inspiration. In the discussions he is ex-
tremely active, and in plain truth he is the
Seventh Ward Republican Club. Mr.. George
Carr, another young lawyer, formerly resident
of Brfdgewster, Mass, and a very prominent ad
vocdte Of temperance reform, occupies leading
position at the pOT-wows, and sometimes is bold
enough to oppose Brother Leach. Another law
yer, named McCsll, acts as secretary. few
letIer-carriers and gas-Works attaches complete
the complement of actual membership of the
wonderful club that nominated exSpeaker Blaine
tor President. Although the organization pre-
tends to have had an existence since last Decem-
Der, and has conferred the privileges of member
ship on q few leading politicians, yet these gen.
tlemen knew very little about Seventh ward
club until the news Of the nomination appeared
ii the Philadelphia evening papers OF the 18th
inst. No Importance whatever is attached to the
organization. Its proceedings are SO trivial, and
the tone Of its actual membership so puerile as
not only to place 1t beneath newspaper notice,
