THE PRESIDENT AND THE FENIANs-Mr.
Edward ON. Condor yesterday evening called
upon President Hayes at the Fifth Avenue
hotel Tor the purpose OF personally thanking
him for the warm interest he had taken i'm his
case. President Hayes received him very cor
daily and congratulated him upon his release
saying he was very sorry Mr.. Ccndon's father
had not lived long enough TO share lis happi-
ness. Mr.. Condor said he did not consider
the action taken by the administration and by
Congress was in consequence of any indf-
yidual merits of his own, but because of the
principle involved. The President assured
him OF his best wishes for his success in his
new start in life and expressed Z hope that his
long years OF suffering had not permanently
injured his cOnstitutiOr.-[N. Y Herald, Sd.
