Some of the newspapers in Ireland and England publish a manifesto from tl * Gor- ernment of the Republic of Ireland,” which sets forth reasons for the revolt, and contains an sppeal to the republican peoples ot the world tor sympatby and aid. Sharp actions bave taken place between the Fenians and the military, police and coast guards. and incen- diary fires prevail in the city and county of Limerick. Railroad travel bas been resumed on some of the lines but is interrupted on others. Troops are being poured into Ireland by England from every «available point” The London Times says the island is +‘ fali” o¢ irish-Americans, and the peasantry not in- ‘volved in the rising aid the armed bands. These warlike demonstrations of the Irish Tevolutionists, so wide-spread, and evidently the work of well-organized and well-drilled bodies of men, show that the Fenians are in earnest; and their movements necessarily cause great anxiety to the British Govern- ment Nosooner is an attack suppressed at one point than another breaks out in some un- expected quarter. Stil] there does not seem to be that unity of design, perfection of organiza- tion, concert of action, and rapidity of move- ment, without which success in sucha despe- rate adventure cannot be looked for. The Government is wide awake, and bas a large umber of well-drilled troops available, which can be easily and quickly transported to any threatened point. While a great majerity of our people doubt the wisdom of the present movement for an Irish Republic, and believe it to be a great Mistake, which must imevitably tail and bring heavy punishment on the beads of the insur- gents, there are a few who reason from the ereat disaffection not only in Ireland but in England, to substantiate their assertions that the cause of Irish nationality never looked so bright as at present. None, however, deny that the grievances which have repeatedly led the Irish people to resist British role, should be corrected. The State Church should be abolished, and the Irish people given a ienaat | system which will not lead to such foul ‘Wrongs a have almost depopulated Ireland by degrading and impoverishing her peopie If the present outbreak is suppressed as soon as expected, the next one will no doubt be made im concert with the English liberals. un- Jess the causes which excite and Pro note the Gistarbances both in England and Irejand are Temoved by the British Governme»:. THE SENATE CAUCUS To. DAY. The Kepublican Senaters. at their caucus this morning, agreed not to tix upon aday of | Adjourmment until after the enactment of a Supplement to the Sherman reconstruction ct, providing for the calling of conventions, the registration of voters, the primary elec- tions, and other machinery of reconstruction. in view of the fact that the President may veto this supplementary bill, it was deter- mined im the ctucus that no definite action Should be bad as to the day of adjournmeat until after itsball have been placed upon the statute-book. AFTER APPOINTMEN For several days the Postmaster General has been besieged by crowds of politicians and | office seekers endeavoring to secure appoint. ments as Postmasters, there being a large nam. ber of vacancies caused by the action of the Senate in refusing to confirm the Bomination, of appointees. Third Assistant Postmaster General Beverly has been discharging the du_ ties of Postmaster at Philadelphia since Wed- nesday last, and throughout the country there are many Post Offices without a Postmaster.
