A loyal paper, styled the Irish Republic, has
been established in Chicago, says the San Fran
cisco Times, and although it has only reached its
eleventh or twelfth number, its circulation is
said to be immense. 1t is conducted By Irish
men, and is eloquently devoted to the cause of
Irish and American freedom. The following ex-
tract from an able article addressed to Irish and
Americans, will furnish an idea of its general
tone and temper. We ask that our Irish citizens
may read and ponder well its facts:


Some of our people are rebels for the sake OF
rebellion. The disease has been so long In the
blood that it has become chronic. We verify
believe that If some of our countrymen, ana
some of the leading ones at that, were in Heaven
at the time of the great rebellion, they would
have unhesitatingly sided with Satan himself.
Anything in opposition to established authority.
1t was this very spirit that drove so many OF our
countrymen into the Confederate army during
the recent war, and made so many living under
the stars and stripes, sympathize with the rebels.
Now this was all wrong; but it was mistaken
sense of right that drove our people to such
course.


Rebellion is only justi6able against tyranny
When people become oppressed TO that degree
that liberty and happiness have been wrenched
from them, and whips and chains substituted,
then does rebellion become duty. But while
rebellion against tyranny is holy, rebellion
against liberty is the unholy work OF the foulest
fends.


Why, then, will so many of our countrymen
persist 10 tracing analogies between Ireland and
the South? Why will they persist to Say to US :
You ant freedom for Ireland hut won't let the
South do what she likes? What Can you do
against the British Government, when the South
with all her facilities for successful rebellion
was put down? With these and like questions
we met at every corner.


We say, once more, that we do not allow the
cause of Ireland to be compared to the cause of
the South. The one is the cause of liberty, the
other the cause of slavery. Ireland is a separate
and distinct nation. The seal of independence
is as plainly set upon her face by the hand of
God as on that of England, France Her
people are distinct nation, separated by blood
and history, by likes and dislikes, from the Eng
lish people, Ireland has had her Government
for centuries when the Briton was painted saw
age, England took possession and holds it to
this day by fraud. The people of Ireland have
never acknowledged the authority of England
They have protested for seven hundred years, by
words and blows against England's usuipations
And greatest of all, the interests of the two
ddates are Numerically opposed. England

South show for rebellion, such those of Ire

THE NEXT PKESIDENT.-Therc can be but little
doubt that General Grant is looking toward the
Presidential chair, when the present cumber
some and accidental occupant shall subside into
obscurity. His temporary acceptance OF Stan
tons portfolio has leaning that way, besides
his chance for a nomination by the ne\t National
Republican Convention is being pretty generally
discussed by the Eastern press. The General is
becoming less reticcnt in the expression of his
opinions on national questions. Before the Ju-
dietary Committee of the House of Representa-
tiyes. whittier he was summoned at the instigl-
tion of the Democratic members of the Commit
tee. in the hope that they could draw him out in
favor of Johnsons policy of Reconstruction, the
Generals testimony, it appears. was far from be-
ing satisfactory to the gentlemen by whom he
was called. He stated that lie had always un-
derstood the Presidents work in the South as of
Temporary character. and at most as but an
aid TO Congress in setting up the civil Govern
ments; that he had not sympathized with the
President in his conflict with Congress; that he
thought the fixing of terms OF reconstruction
was matter belonging to Congress; that IN his
Judgment the South made Il grave mistake IN not
long ago heartily accepting the terms offered,
and that he stood firm by the Congressional
plan.


That is surely the right kind of talk. General
Grant doubtless comprehends the necessity OF
placing himself squarey on the Republican plat
FORM for in no other way can he reasonably eX-
pect to obtain the nomination by the National
Convention The time is past when men OF un-
certain political opinions can receive the en-
dorsement of the Republican party. Past mill
tary services will not weigh feather in any
man IS favor, whose head and heart are not sound
to-day. -,


We never admired Grants conduct in that
lannon's pilgrimage Of Andy Johnson's to the
grave of Douglas. 1t was political tour, or
ranized and carried out for the purpose of crea-
ting sympathy among the people of His Acct
dency's foolish attempt to override Congress:
Everywhere the people were eager for word
vet the General received their earnest calls with
silent and sometimes disrespectful indifference.
But, it may be, that, as strict military man. de-
ference to the Commander-n-Cbief sealed his
lips. We will accept this explanation OF ms re-
r,,rk.hIe reticence: but henceforth we shall ex-
meet. if he would succeed politically, that ne
will express himself more freely on national Is

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-The Iate'Iigencer of
to-day says there can now be little doubt that 1t
is the intention OF the President at an early day
to issue q proclamation granting amnesty and
pardon to the mass OF the Southern people VINO
have been engaged in the late war, perhaps TO
all not i'm plcated in offenses other than political


The same paper also says:-'The rumor pre-.
vaing for the last twenty-four hours of q
change in the War Department is wholly with.
out truth so far as that Departments Is concerned,
but we cannot but give credence to the reports
that Cabinet changes are immiuent." The In.
tTLigencer is authorized to say that the account
OF an alleged interview between the President
and General Grant, in which the latter is repre-
sented to have spoken and conducted himself in
manner in the highest degree reprehenslble,
is fabrication from beginning to end.


General Grant did not say to the President
'that he considered his opposition to the Con.
stitutional amendment fortunate for the coun-
try" as it prevented the admission of the
enemies of the Government, in the form OF
sovereign States, to representation in Congress.
The assertion that "during the interview above
referred to the rupture between the President
and General Grant became irrecoucllable" is
equally without foundation, as Is also another
to the effect that the latter expressed himself
dissatisfied with the evident anlmus OF that
document. (Meaning the late proclamation.)

Washington Cor. N Y. Herald, Sep 10 !


In these dispatches recently allusion was
made to certain forth coming disclosures in
reference to the plot to obtain Impeachment
evidence against the President, and it was
sta'ed that an affidavit would be included,
showing that Mrs. Dunham had received from
General Butler $50. and was reproached by
thetlatter for not having performed the ser.
vice for w hich che ha d been engaged. In re-.
lation to this subject the following Is given as
Cen Butler's explanation: While Conover
was in Jail in this city lady who boarded in
the house with Mrs. Dunham called on Gen
Butler and informed him that Mrs Dunham
had said her husband knew ofthe whereab bouts
OF certain very important documents bearing
upon the ASSASSINATION OF President Lincoln,
and subse uently gen tleman, a boarder in
the same house with Mrs. Dunham, came to
General Butler and reiterate this information.
stating, in addition, that Mrs. Dunham had
said il che could get money Sufficient to de-
fray expenses Of travelling she could obtain the
papers IN question. General Butler then said
it Mrs. Durham would bring to him a state
me Mt from her husband setting forth the char
acter OF the documents, he would enable her
to get at them. Mrs. DnEham afterwards call
ed on the General with the required statement,
and told him that the documents were in New
York, to which place she would have to 60
for them. and that MIR. Dnnham had fully in :
structed her now TO proceed in order TO obtain
them. Gen. Butler asked her how much money
she wouln need for the purpose She replied
that as she would be obliged to have g compan.
ion she would reed fifty dollars. This amount
the General gave her, and was assured by
Mrs. Dunham that she would start that even
ing. A day or two after wards Mrs. Dunham
again appeared before the General, stating that,
as some trouble had occurred at the jaii, she
was unable TO see her husband. but brought q
nole from HIM explaining that he could not
give her the directions necessary TO get the pa
pers. Then you cannot 60 to New York.
SAID the GeneraE You will not require the
fifty dollars so You had better return the
money" Mrs. Durham answered that she
had not the money to return. General Bntler


hen told her he knew the money had been
used for other purposes. and that she could not
repay it. Mrs. Dunham was greatly aston
ished, and asked the General how he knew
that she had made other use OF the money.
General Butler answered that he would tell
her story. He then related how, when he
was in command of the Army OF the James, be
bad engaged man to 60 into the lines and
bring him an account of the iron -clads that
were being built at Richnond how the man
returned in three weeks with q budget of in
teTestirg information, and how, after the spy
had told him his story, Butler had produced a
detective who disclosed that the spy had gone
from the army to Washington, where he re-
maned during the whole time, instead OF going
to RichmcRd, and finished by saying that he
had him ornamented with a ball and chain
and set bim to digging in Dutch Gap. The
General hen told her that she had her answer;
she might 60; and she went.

STRANGE RENcoNTER.-One of those
chastity romances which occur only in real
life happened last night at the station house.
A man who had been arrested for assault
was bailed out, and just as he was leaving
the prison, o woman with young child in
her arms was broughtin in on a charge of being
drunk in the streets. The names of the man
and woman were the same, and the prison
keeper, in Joke, said to the man, - look
here comes your wife !" The man did look.
and SO earnestly that the prison keeper asked
him, "Do you know the woman ?'' AYE
that do l." was the reply, and going up to
her he said Mary is that you? Whose
child is that in your arms?" The woman
started, and even in her maudlin drunken
ness. recognized and shrank from her hus-
band whom she had deserted three years
ago. The story is a sad one-three years
ago the man, miner, had gone to the noun
tains, leaving his wife here. He never set
ewes upon her again until he saw her last
night in the station house. After the first
shock was over the woman appeared disposed
to brazen the matter out, and told him he
could get divorce, a course which he at
once declared his intention OF taking. lie
asserted that she had always been drunk
ard, and that Gil he wanted was to be legally
rid of her. So after three years separation
the husband and wife parted again, she to
sleep off her drunken fit in a cell, and he to
devise means of procuring a divorce from
hers r. Times,

A BUSINESS. LIKE CoURTsHIP.-There is &
story extant about five minutes courtshiE
between a thriving and busy merchant, of q
watering place in England, and lady, fol
whom, as conjunction with deceased friend
be was q trustee. The lady called at his
counting house, and said that her business
was to consult him on the propriety or other
wise of her accepting offer of marriage
which she had received Now, for the first time,
occurred to the Bristol merchant the idea Of
this holy estate in his own case.


Marriage" said he, listlessly turning
over some West India correspondence
Well, | suppose every body ought to marry,
though such thing never occurred to me
before Have you given this gentleman an
affirmative answer ?"


"No."


Are your feelings particularly engaged
In the matter ?''


" Not particularly"


well, then, madam" said he, turning
round on his Office stool, ''f that be the case
and if you could dispense with courtship, for
which | have no time, and think you could
be comfortable with me, l am your humble
servant to command"


There were people who thought that the
lady had purpose in going there, but if So
she prudently disguised it. She said she
would consider the matter. The Bristol
merchant saw her out with the same GOODNESS
as if she were one of his correspondents, and
when she was gone five minutes, was once
more immersed in his letters and ledgers.-
A day or two after, he had letter from the
lady, accepting his offer, very considerably
excusing him from an elaborate courtship,
and leaving him to name the ''most con-
venient day"


They were married.
