LECTION AND INSTALLATION OF
W. R. ROBERTS AS PRESIDENT.
The misunderstanding between Colonel John
i • \Uhony, President of the Fenian Brotlier-
•uH>i in this country and Canada, and ten
r. n.bers of the Senate and some of the heads
departments, has reached the point of open
t avowed rupture, and consequently the
■ vscnt is looked upon as a most serious crisis
iho affairs ef the Fenian organization.
■ urges of corruption, to the extent of a. heavy
embezzlement of the funds, of the order, are
c.ade with great freedom on both sides, and the
teeling of the parties toward each other would
appear to be rapidly reaching the point of bit
terness. A statement of the peculiar nature of
die existing difficulties are, of course, of con-
* lerable importance to a very large portion
r • the people, and we, therefore, present such
a. are made by parties whose jtosition in the
• rai.i/.ation seem to entitle them to a hearing.
! question at issue will not, it is probable,
deiinitely settled until the meeting of the
Congress, in this city, on the 2d of Janu
ary next. ,
The main points of difference at present
•cm to be in relation to tho custody of the
m oneys of the order; the manner in which
funds have been expended, and. the legali-
; v of the present session of the Fenian Semite,
i esc differenecs, in some degree, seem to have
initiated in the existence of various opin-
in relation to the meaning of the Cousfi-
tution. , . ‘ .
A session was called last week, and charges
I , ferred against the Head Center. jColonel
II M-ihonv, and the Secretary ef the Treasury,
);. 1). Killian, as jrill be seen in the report of
Saturday’s proceedings.
Statement of President O’Mahony.
Col. O’Mahony declares the whole proceed
ings of the Senate unconstitutional, and re
fu- s to be bound fly its action. In relation
t the bonds, it is alleged that he submitted
ti.e name of Col. Roberts as agent of tbc Irish
Republic, who refused to accept the position,
tearing to undertake the responsibilities of the
i -fire. Col. O’Mahony then presented hie own
mine, and was rejected. He then sent the
ranie of one Mr. Keenan, who keeps a fruit
stand in Washington Market. This choice
was confirmed by the Senate, and the bonds, <
" the number of 25,000, at $10 each, were'
engraved, and had been almost put upon the
market, when Mr. Keenan resigned the post
ami threatened legal proceedings if the bonds
were issued with his name attached to them.—
t 'ol. O’Mahony again offered his own name,
w hen he was asked by the Senate “whether lie
w'.uld claim the salary allowed to theoffico!”
He replied that “he would do it for nothing.”
He brands any statemeut to the contrary as a
falsehood. j.“ *
Concerning the Secretary of War. *
In relation to the business of the Secretary
of War, he says, the Senate made an appro
priation of $5,000 to the Seftretary of War;
Gen. Sweeny, which was paid by the Secretary
of the Treasury, and of the expenditure o^
which the President of the Brotherhood knows
nothing. A further snm of $50,000 was ap
propriated, which amount the Secretary of the
Treasury, ML.Killian, refused to pay, unless
the proper vouchers were produced, which the
Se rettiy of War refused to do.
The Mission to Ireland.
Some time sihee, the President says, Mr.
Meehan was sent to Ireland on the business of
the Brotherhood. He proceeded to Kingston,
. ar Dublin where he lost some dispatches and
a draft for XoOff sterling. These documents
fell into the hands of the Government authon-
ties ami the arrest subsequently fallowed. The
President complains that some of the Senators
have not settled for a length ofjime the ac
counts of the organizations over which they
break up the enure organization. The former
Treasurer is alleged not to have given the re.',
.juired security, and not to have settled his ac-
cuiintt for the time during which he held office.
It is also stated that Mr. Mitchel, v^ho has gone'
to Europe as an emissary'of the society, was
detained in this city seyeral days for want of
the necessary funds to proceed there, Mr.
Meehan has been connected wifh the Brother
hood about nine months, Edward L. Carey
cbout three months, and Gen. Sweeney* the
.Secretary * of War. a very short time.. Mr.
(I'Rorke is an old member of the body, and
was selected for Treasurer for his sterling
honesty.

O Mahony, slating jbe facts to the Brother

How Stephens Effected Ms Escape.
The fficape of §teptten»," the reputed Irish a „ lrl _
Head Centre, from Richmond prison, Dublin, | Kornev General
on the 24th ult., continued a subject of mystery. 1 ^ ■
Tt was found that eight doors had been opened
from the outside by confederates, and that one
was locked afterwards to prevent pursuit.
Some tables were taken from the dining hall
.and reared against the prison, wyll, where a
tree facilitated th§ escape. There Was no
alarm until three hours afterwards. It is re
ported that Stephens escaped to sea in a fishing
smack from Howth. ~
{From- the Dublin Mail.]
It wilt be remembered, that Stephens, at the
examinatiou before Mr. Stronge, effected a man
net which would justify the belief that be felt
tittle concern as to the difficulty-in which be was
involV.-d. At that time it was expected that be
would be indioed for high treason: The Gov

This mail wifi carry to America the most as

from the resolute character.of the “Head Cen
tre” of Ireland, and the thorough, utter indif

pathize with him, aud cannot fo bear to wish
that so bold a man werqihe advocate or cham
pion of a more hopeful cause, but one which
is evidently dear" to the Irish people, even in
its present difficulties or darkness.
I am ol opinion, indeed greatly fear, that Ste
phens means something desperate. There is
notbiDg more certain thou that hs wellknew he

In

matter of the differences. Both parties profess
hopes regarding his advent. Both,it is expect
ed, would abide,by.bis decision, and the genjfls
of harmony would again smile on all; feqds
tumid hfal up, and . the revolutionary Work
a HifbBtantial waH aud a formidable iron door
from the department in which the men to be
watched were located. Mr. Marquis, the Gov
ernor, with anxiety to prevent any communica
tion between the several Fenian prisoners, placed
an ordinary prisoner in each cell intermediate
between two of the alleged Fenians. The pris
oner so placed between James Stephens and
Charles J. Ktckhnm, whose cells are Situated on
the second story, stales that he heard in the
the morning, at a few minutes botore 1 o'clock, a
noise as of feet mounting the stairs. Shortly af
terwards a sound struck his ear of a lock being
opened, aud then, to use his. qwn expression,
‘-‘two sets of steps” going down stairs. ..He did
not raise .any alarm at the time, not .suspecting
that an escape was being accomplished, and
thinking that it was the night watchman who
created tho neise. At 4 o’clock, however, Hr. Mar
quts, the Governor, was aroused by the watchman
Byrne who told him that Stephens was missing
An rxamination immediately took place, when it
was discovered that a duplicate key was in the
lock of the cell in which Stephens had beeu con
fined, and that the locks of six other doors, lead
ing lioui corridofi to corridor, had been' opened
with a pass-key. The mode of escape trom the
ppisou is easily explained. The massive tables
of the dining hall were, removed to the 'garden
and placed ugainst the wall, so as to afford an
easy diode ol ascent to the summit. Whoever
did this must have been thoroughly acquainted
with the topography of the prison and its
vicinity, as, immediately outside ot the wall, in
Wellington place, on the Grand canal side, aud
corresponding to a nicety with the spot at .which
the tables hud been raised, there stands a tree
ofiering a most facile means of desceDt. In this
way, it seems, Stephens made his escape, and up
to the present no trace has been found of his
whereabouts. I
Clf the escaped prisoner the Loudon Times
says : Stephens, who has been raised by the
Feuian authorities, or has raised himself, to tha
office and. dignity of chief Ol the republican plot
ters, was, we believe, originally connected ftitb
Mr. Smith D’Brien, and Teamed treason in the
.school ot the rebels of 184S. He has, however,
only merged into history since the scheme lor
miking ijeland independent by American aid
has beeu feemed ou the other side of the ocean.
As a man endowed with more than the usual
Fenian education, he took the lead and attained
at onco the high position which, unless he suc
ceeds in making his escape from Ireland alto
gether, isJikely to'give him an unpleasant pre
eminence in punishment, llut for the present he
seems to hare bullied justice. While the
law j ers of tile yueeu's Bench were discussing
ihe question of n eenhiPrari a’, a length which en
cumbers onr columns, Mr. JamesHrep.hens moved
a" more effective mi liar art himself,” and post
poned his trial before- the special- commission by
hy the simple expedient ot breaking t>neoii..
VYe have as yei no means of knowing bow be
made his escape, and how far any one at the
Richmond prison is connected with it. But
Mr. Stephens is a man of such ability and re
source that he wouldfhave no difficulty in tak
ing advantage of any favorable disposition on
the part of a turnkey, whether it arose from po
litical Sympathy or readiuess to pocket a bribe.
The Fenian'exchequer has been so flourishing,
owing to the prosperity and enthusiasm of the
brethren across the Atlantic, that any reasona
ble number of sovereigns would, no doubt, be
forthcoming. It now remains for Mr. Ste
phens, hiving made his escape, to avoid a
second capture- The reward offered for His
apprehension will make the chase after him
very hot, for it is not often that in any coun
try a price of £1,300 is held up before the eyes
of thi police. But, lo judge Horn his past ex
ploits, ho ia quite capable of giving his pursuers
some trouble. It is related that on the night
of tfie seizure of the Irish People, he changed
his appearance, with peculiar readiness, and
producing a pair of crutches, made his way to
a place of- shelter. This was Fairfield House,
Sandymoinit, which he occupied under the
name of Jamos Herbert. It.had been furnished
with much elegance, no doubt out of Fenian
funds; the garden and'greenhouse were com
plete, and £12 worth of plants were-purchivsed
from a neighboring nursery cm the very day of
the capture. The preparations of the police far
taking him and bis companion^ wera very
elaborate’, but it tamed out that the work was
jnoche asier than they expected. They entered
well armed, with pistols in their hands, but
Stephens thought fit to submit quietly, and was
arrested with' Messrs, lvickharo, Dljffy and
Brophy, who wero all in bed -at the -time. The
work has vibw to he done over again so far as
Stephens is concerned. He has prqb^bly not
got far from Dnblio; indeed, the most reasona
ble supposition is that he is lying hid' some
where in the city, and will there .contra ae until
he thinks tlie. storm- of pursnjt is blown over,
ft ig superfluous to suggest that there should be
a strict inquiry into the mode Of his escape,
and-the-alleged complicity-of some one in the
lirhorn Such ail pffence by a person fa the
oploy of government is most serious, and
oulibe pilnished with all severity. ” *

A SCItAI* OF HISTORY.

The Cincinnati Gazette says: “A friend
of ours has sent us one of the unbound
sheets of a Confederate school book, en
titled the ‘Georgraphical Reader for the
Dixie Children,” which shows the" state of
happy innocence in which the youth of
that favored land would have grown up

“Tied United Slides.”
This was ogee the most prosperous
country in the world. Nearly a hundred
years ag. i it belonged to England; , but
the English made such hard laws that tho
people said they would not obey them.—-
After a long bloody ■ war of seven years
they gained their independence, anil for
many years were prosperous and happy.
“2. Ih the meantime both English and
American ships went to Africa and
brought away many of tl^se pool- hea
then negroes and sold them fop slaves.
Some people said it was wrong’, and asked
the King of England to stop it. He re
plied that* “l\e knew it Was wrong; but
that the shiye trade brought much money
into his treasury, and it should continue,” ’
But both countries^ afterwards did pass
laws to stop this trade. In a few years
the northern states, finding their climate
too cold for the negro to be profitable,
sold them to the people diving further
south. Then the northern states passed
laws to forbid any person owning slaves
in their borders.
3. Then the’ northern people began
to preach, to lecture and to write about
the sin of slavery. The money for which
they sqjd their slaves was mow' partly
spent in trying te persuade the south
ern states to send their slaves back to-
Africa. And when fhc territories wetir
settled they were not Willing for any of

Pursuant to public notice a meeting was
held on Thursdtty evening in the Central
Presbyterian Church, (Rev, Dr. Smith’s,!
corner of Liberty and Saratoga streets,

ters of said Church residing in the South.
A large audience was present, together

Dr. Smith. Hon. Judge Giles was called
to the chair, who, upon Assuming the
position, stated briefly the object of the
meeting. The Rev. Dr. Dickson, of the

sented a preamble, setting forth the de
plorably desolated condition qf the South
ern churches, and the suffering of .their
pastors, with resolutions looking to the
taking up of a collection and to appoint
a committee to obtain contributions in
aid of their brethren in the South. ln-
support of the resolutions Dr. Dickson,
Hons. G. Morrison Harris, and Rev. Dr.
Backus, of the First Presbyterian Church,'
delivered short addremes, concurring
fully in the language of the preamble and
by their congregation,
ten from each church
language the destitute condition of pas
tors of the different churches in the South,
and the boad field of charity thus open
ed to those desirous of contributing
thereto. During the remarks of the
speakers it was stated that there were
some 700 ministers in the South, repre
senting a membership of about 35,000,
hardly one of which could be supported
A committee of
to carry out the
purpose of ^taking collection was them
appointed. Thp committed to obtain

the furtherance of the object for • which
the meeting had been caked. The au
dience was then dismissed by a prayer
by liev. Mr.Xefevre, of the Fourth Pres
