The Carson Daily Appeal

That dreadful old blackguard, Bennett of the New York Herald, talks in a terrible way about everything in general and the Radicals and the Fenians in particular. He as good as says that Mr. Mexican Minister Romero, because he happens to have had some kindly letters from Thad. Stevens and other Radicals, will be likely to have his head chopped off when he gets home for being a suspicious character. But he talks of Fenianism in New York in a most outrageous way. In the Herald of October 11th he says:

Those terrible fellows in buckram, the Fenians, are again poking the British lion in the sides and threatening him from Jones' Wood. A muster and parade of the "grand army" of the Irish republic, consisting of a single brigade of "centres" and patriotic recipients of the money of poor servant girls, took place on Tuesday and was followed by libations of lager beer and the usual hackneyed assurances of the wonderful power and prospects of the organization. The servant girls, however, taught by the experience of the last two years, keep aloof, and there is little to be got now when the Fenian hat is passed round. They have been humbugged too often not to know now that a flank movement by way of Jones' Wood is directed against their pockets and not against the "cruel Sassenach." At the last muster and bluster of the ferocious yet funny Fenians the organization was represented by the usual set of gentlemen, gamins, poets, adventurers, filibusters, saints and sinners who, jump up like a "Jack-in-a-box" whenever a policeman is beaten or a prisoner rescued across the ocean. But their race is run, as, with Archbishop McCloskey and his clergy against them, their raids on the hard earnings of their poor, honest fellow countrymen in this city have been effectually stopped.
