 Bosrox, Mass, April q ~ Rev. r, A Mvkcnua sends the following eommunica ton to the press of America.
 De- o'Roiliy of St Louis sent letter last week to John Dillon. NJ, F., against which l wish 10 protest 1 write this in order to protest against the spirit and letter of his writing In the first place he Is Clan ua Gael man, am not and never have been, although the Clan na Gael has wished 10 make it appear that was one. I | ] not believe in their methods.
 Secondly, Dr. OReilly's statement is false when he talks about the delegates of last week assembling from every State within the United States. There were not delegates present from every State tn the United States. Tho National League has 80 existence in this country at the present time.
 In conclusion, have always remarked that the States of the United States which contributed the least, like Missouri and Illinois and Michigan, always dictate the policy of the league.
 For one, will not submit to such lead egship of assassins. and like Mir. McCanery of Philadelphia, Ipubliely resign my posi- ton. F. A. MckwNNA,
