CAPTURED AT LAST,
The Hero of Hard-FOuEht Fields Caught
In the Recent Campaign.


In the Recent Campaign.
There is tall, splendid-looking fellow
frequently seen on the Avenue-a man of fine
physique, bearded like pard, and with kindly
beaming face. Bold and quick in his movements,
he generally attracts The attention of the paSserby
He was young and dashing officer in New York
regiment during the war; AT Fredericksburg he
exhibited great GOODNESS under the murder
Gus fire of the rebels, while executing piece of
engineering work requiring bravery and sagacity.
When the war was over he became infatuated with
the belief that his native country could be freed
from the grasp of England by force Of arms. He
organized squads of men all over Ireland, drilled
them persstently, and, as commander-in-chief of
the Fenian army of invasion, was making extern
sive preparations with the aid of friends here to
give Great Britain some trouble. He was captured
one fatal night and histories scattered. Many of
thenl-Some of whom are now in this city-were
placed in British prisons. He himself fingered
seven years in an English dungeon. Friends out
side blew up portion of the Jail to effect his re-
lease. 1t came at last through the interven-
ton of our Government, he being an
American citizen. For several years past
he has been q Government official. He has lee
tured all over the country for Ireland and liberty
and stumped for the success of the Republican
party from Maine to California in every campaign
He is still young and enthusiastic, and forcble
and interesting speaker. But alas the recent
campaign was a settler. While stumping in In
diana he fell; not
ITO die midst fame and smoke
And shout and groan, and sabre stroke"
but HoosieE girls eyes at Fort Wayne pierced
him TO the heart, and everybody is whispering,
Have you heard the news? Colonel B. is mar
ried.' Our hero was too much of military man
not to perform a coup detGt in this, his last cam
paign, so he ran away with his bride, like Young
Lochinvar. But he is happy, and so is the bride,
because the old folks have become reconciled, and
his friends are congratulating him right and left

soutl, Carolina Cnnfesfs.

A private letter received here yester-
day from South Carolina states that Judge Samuel
Lee is experiencing much difficulty in securing
the testimony necessary to establish his case asthe
counsel for his opponent are delaying him in every
manner possible, especially in their cross examina-
tions to prevent his securing all his testimony
within the time prescribed by law. The letter also
states that Judge E.W NJ. Mackey who is now taking
testimony to be used in his contest with OConnor,
was recently fired at three times near the town of
Manning, and colored man who was with him
was wounded. Through his attorney, R. H. Kirk,
esq, of this city Judge Lee yesterday served notice
on Mr. Richardson that he would take further tes-
timony bearing on his contest at Florence, S. c.,
within the present month.

ABOUT THE PENSIONS.
Another FIufter In the House
Fears of n Big Appropriation.

Yesterday in the House some opposl-
ton was made to the consideration of pension bills
and Mr.. Atkins warned the House that not much
less than SI0000,000 would have to be appropriated
this year for pensions He would sooner under
take TO liquidate the entire public debt than to
iquidate the debt which had been imposed OH the
country by the pension laws. The arrearage act
had imposed debt which could not be liquidated
with less than $50 100000 He doubted not that it
would cost 81 600 O0O because the estimates had
gone up sufficiently to justify that calculation.
Mr.. Briggs made some remarks which called
forth reply from Mr.. Atkins. to the effect that
the gentleman was raking up the embers of the
war because he OR. Atkins had spoken from
business standpoint.
Mr.. Briggs said that whenever the gentleman
from Tennessee arose and attempted to prevent
the payment of pensions to men who saved and
preserved the life of the Nation he proposed to
stand in the name of those men, and insist that
full, ample, and complete justice should be done
Mr.. COffroth asserted thas if every application
for pensions was allowed the arrearages would
amount TO only S244,0O0000.
Mr. Atkins stated that he had obtained his fig
ureS from the Commissioner of Pensions. He was
not opposed 10 the pending bill, because he
thought that government ought to fail which
would not pension its defenders. He had always
voted for pension bills, and would continue to do
So but if he could not be allowed to allude to the
enormous sums of money that would have TO be
appropriated without having his motives ques-
toned he would hereafter remain silent.
Mr.. Updegrah of Ohio, concurred with Mr.. COT
roth in the opinion that arrearages would call for
appropriation of s244 600 and not for one of
S7500O08o0. as had been stated by Mr.. Atkins. He
was opposed to discussing these Just pension
claims with view to discovering how much
money they would take from the Treasury
Mr. Sparks favored the bill, and in the course of
his remarks alluded to Mr.. Frye as the gentleman
who was going to be the Senator from Maine,
which allusion Mr.. Frye acknowledged by nod
ofthe head and low 1" thank you
After further debate, the bill was laid aside with
a favorable recommendation.
Mr.. Kelley asked unanimous consent that the
bill increasing the pension of the widow of Rear
Admiral Paulding be taken from its place on the
calendar and reported to the House, but Mr.. Hos
teller objected

Our Eyes-Thefr Use and Abuse.

The closing lecture Of the Young Mems
Christian Association free medical course was de-
livered last night by Dr. Swan McBurnett. The
chapel was again filed with an interested audi
ence. He spoke of the eye as an optical instru-
ment, as well as an organ of sense. With the aid
of charts and the blackboard he described the
construction and functions of the eye, comparing
it in general to the photographers camera, and ex
planned the occasion of far and near-sightedness.
At the close of the lecture unanimous vote of
thanks was rendered to the physicians who had
freely contributed their services to interest and
benefit those who had attended the medical

the chair and Mr. ]. P. Smith secretary All of the
fifteen lodges of the District were represented and
reports from those lodges were received concern
ing the matter, almost all of them favorable. Mr.

that many more members of the order would
visit Washington on the occasion of the parade
than had been originally calculated. A free and
full interchange of views on the subject was had
The commander was authorized to appoint as many
assistants as were necessary to see that the mem
bers were made proficient in drill for the occasion

Harmony Lodge Hall on next Thursday evening
