along been the wish of the Republicans 10
Kill this bill. Sargent, month ago, offered
u substitute putting twenty or thirty persons
ON the list. Yesterday, when the dill came
up, this substitute was abandoned and an
amendment adding tie single ssme Of
Grant was insisted upon by Sargent, Ed

with purpose of killing the bill, without
forcing Republicans to 20 on the record as
directly voting against Shields. II the old
veteran is beaten it will be through this
trick.
The Senate yesterday refused for the
second time to legislate on The subject Of
allowing women to practice before the
Supreme Court. The Court says, when

legislation is not necessary. The Senate
will have another vote on the question DUR

IRISH "NATION

SENTIMENTS AND PLANS OF THE IRISH oR>
CARNATIONS IN REFERENCE TO CANADA
IN TEE EVENT OF WAR BETWEEN
GREAT BRITAIN AND RUSSIA.
A despatch from Buffalo, N. Y, says -
Further inquiry among Irish leaders in this
| vicinity, and Irishmen who are In corres~
pondcpce with leaders of Irish organiza-
tions in other cities, tends to better under~
| standing of their feelings and purposes.
The following summary may be regarded as
| pretty trustworthy -
First-The words "Fenian" and "Fenian-
ISM have fallen into disuse with Irishmen,
who were formerly Fenians. Irish "Nation-
alists" ard Irish "Rinemeu" there are,
though, who have the same longing for the
Independence Of Ireland and the same
hatred of British rule that were professed
by the Fenian Brotherhood.
| NO REPETITION OF FORMER RAIDS.
| Second--Irishmen throughout the North
ern States and the Cansdas are wide awake
and looking for an opportunity to strike a
blow for their national Independence, and
| to cripple or hamper Great Britain. If poss
sible but at present no repetition OF iormer
FsniAn raids is generally intended. Irish
men 10 Canada have no sympathy with such
| movements, which would enjsnger their
own homes ani property and involve an
outrage upon Canadian communities which
have never done them any harm, Raids
are also discountenanced by the better and
more Intelligent Irish patriots on this side
of the border, from General Shields downs
ward.
NO AID TO ENGLAND FROM CANADA.
Third-Irlshmen are prep airing, how<
ever, to act In the contingency of war be-
tween England and Russia, should war be
declared, and should Great Britain attempt
to recruit troops in Canada every Irishmen
with whom the writer has conversed says
the Canadian troops so recruited would
have all and more than they could do at
home. 1t is the settled purpose of the Irish
organizations, who are now drilling and
collecting arms and money, to prevent the
reinforcement of the British armies from
this side OF the Atlantic. ''In order to pre-
| vent it." . I'D prominent Irish leader here
to. day, "thers would not be raid into but
| an invasion of Canada, or at least such
demonstration in that direction as would
keep the Dominion In continual state of
anxiety or alarm" 4

G. P. JOHNSON, Secretary.

From our Special Correspondent
WAsH1NeToN,D. c., May %, 1878.
Speaker Randall, after appointing mem,
bers of the special committee created by
Potter's resolution, has gone to Pennsylvania
to att. nd the Democratic State Convention
By the exertion OF half the skill he has ex-
hioited in dealing with matters here, the
Speaker might make the party in Penn
sylvsnia invincible AMI add greatly to big
own reputation throughout the country
There have been stories ahoat that his object
in this visit was to do his part towards
uniting all the Democrats Of the State. he
could have no more honors BILE mission.
Tbe Potter committee, by the way, is an
excellent one. Mr.. Potter, Of course, is
ch airman. The other Democrats are Nor
rison, Hunton, Stenger, Mcmahon, Cobb
ard Blackburn The Republicans are Cox,
of Ohio, Butler, Reed and Hiscock. 1t was
understood that Frye, instead of Reed, OF
Maize, would be appointed, but he is said
not to have desired the appointment. Five
members of the committee will sit here,
and three be sent to each of the States OF
Florida and Louisiana. They hope to close
their labors by the 1st of July.
Mr. Hayes says he shall give literally to
the Republican campaign fund, and hopes
other officer-holders will.
A yesr or more ago "machine" Con-
gress passed law, one section of which is
as follows:
"That all executive officers or employees
of the United States not appoiEted by the
President with tbs advice and consent OF
the Senate, are prohibited for requesting,
giving to or receiving from any other officer
or employee Of the government; any money
or property or anything of value for political
purposes; and any such officer or employee
VINO shall offend against the provisions of
this section shall be at once discharged
from the service of the United States, and
ae shall also be deemed guilty of mis-
demeanor, and on conviction thereof shall
be fin, in sum not exceeding $780,"
The assessment this Fall upon Republican
Office holders will be nearly as heavy, and
fully as general as they were In that robber
campaign o. 1876. Mr.. Hayes Is the most
irsincere OF men, or the weakest. He has
appointed more unworthy men to Office, and
more men Tor unworthy purposes, than any
of his predecessors. This while he talks
beautifully and earnestly of reforming the
civil service.
Tne regular report Of Senate proceedings
esteoday does not give q fair idea OF the
Dc bate on the bill to place General Shields
