An ex4aember of the F.enian Directory
has, in "Blackwood's Magazine," what he
evidently, onsidera a very seasonable
article .on Fenianism. Tho-. original body
known as Feniau. was raised' by James.
O'Mahony and James Stephens. In Sep-
tember, 1848; the fonder raised a little band
in Ireland, only to make a ludicrous failure
in his attempt to gain pistice for hie'couu-
trymen. He and, Stephens then -met in
Paris and. decided to maker the United
" States the base- of their operations, and, if
possible, to &loge the Union in &war with
Great Britain for the a,d.vancrement of
their ends. Stephens. went to .work in
:Ireland - in .1857, but in Use than
a twelvemonth his propesed nucleus.
. of the Republican Brotherhood had been
scattered, emoted . and sentenced.
Oldalionfa work in this country. was bet-
ter done, Awl by 1850 he had organized no
circles with an average of 400 men each.z
Among them were:such:men as Gen. Shields
and Col. Corcoran- In 1866 Stephens, then
,in Dublin, • assured the American party
that. Ireland was. ripe for revolt. This
period of boastfulness was also marked, by
• banquets, picnics and other reckleas
expenditure- of the vast Barns so easily
raised. But the end of such gaiety came
quickly, when, in September of the same
year,the British Govern meat:struck its first
• blow by seizing the Irish People newspaper,
its ste.ff and staff. of the. Brotherhood.
Soon after the American party, the. true.
Fenian, Brotherhood, deposed O'Mahony
from- his office as chief. The body now
split into two factions* one clinging to
O'Mahony and Stephens,: and the other,.
