Blair and the "Finnegang;"
The Totrain Coniatervitsicof August 1, brinzs to
public notice, and comments upon, an Incident
in the career of Frank Blair that created quite a
sensnuou among the Feolaus in Bt. Louis at the
time of ite occurrence. It says:
The Democratic party, and especially In the
North, is largely made up of Irishmen, and most
Irishmen arc.Feulaus. Frank Blair is the Demo
cratic candidate for Vice President. Hence, ad
Democratic Irishmen and , Fernans are zealous
supporters of Frank Blair. But this -is not the
only claim which thatgentleman has to their votes,
as we will show. About the time of the Fenian
invasion of Canada, in 1866, the Fenians of St.
Louis held a festival. and feeling the need of, a
little "blarney" they deputed a committee to Gee.
Blair, asking his presence anda speech. Now,
nothing ever came easier from Frank than a
speech, and It mattered little as to the time, the
subject. or the circumstances. So he hurried otr
to the Fenian festival, "just as he was." and that
was just as Father Mathew would never have re
commended; but as they were no more particular
as to their orator than he was in regard to WS
subject or audience, he rushed upon the stage,
and with tragic manner and" yob() ro.►re:i out:
"Finnegans! I'm with !pm!" This singular mks
take in the name was readily explained to the
Fenians by the evident condition of the speaker.
and they heartily applauded his emphatic decla
ration of sympathy. Rallying for another onset
when the applause sufficiently subsided, he con
tinued:
"But mind. I tell you, you have a big contract
on hand,and Old Ireland Is away across the ocean.
But when you get your ships and have them
loaded with cannon and thhum, and sail down
New York Harbor, I'll go out there at Bandy
Hook, and take off my hat, and say with all my
heart, Good Iv, Finnegans! And when I think
it's about time. you bad • touched the sod over
there, I'll give you my prayers, and say, Go in,
Finnegans!"
By this time Frank's auditors discovered that
they had "caught a Tartar," and not a sober one
at that. They informed him that they were "Fe
niane,"and not "Finnegans;" that-if he had no
more "material aid" for their cause than his
. "prayers" they cared little for his help, and more
than intimated that ho would be excused, if ho
said no more. They were further perplexed with
a doubt whether he meant they should "go in"
and fight or in the "sod over:there." Whereupon,
apologizing for his ill-success in meeting their
wishes, Frank left the stage as rapidly as he went
on it. From that time he was not the most popu
lar man with the "Finnegans" until after For
rest, Hampton, and the other confederate officers
in the Tammany Convention made him tha
Democratic nominee for Vice President. Now we
snppose he Is able to say "Fenian." and all
Democratic Irishmen "Rah for Blair !"

The Austin (Texas) Republican:
* * * The crowd endeavoring to make the
arrest of the murderers were all negroes. The
posse of the Deputy Sheriff were all whites.
The whites allege that they were fired upon, and
acted in self-detence, and under the legal author
ity of the Sheriff. The result is that from 50 to
00 negtoes were killed, but not a single white
man tuts been kilhd or injured. The accounts
add that two railroad trains were seized, and that
large bodies of armed whites were sent from
Bryan and other points to Millican. Recently
an armed force of 200 whites surrounded an offi
cer of the United status, in Freestone county,
and rescued some prisoners from his
hinds. On the 4th of July, at Jeffer
son city, an armed force of some 300frmen
took possession bf the place, fortified the
houses, and picketed the roads leading to the
city. WI a , . means this? It is simply armed re
bellion against the Government. The rebels of
Texas are to-day better armed and better organ
ized than they were during the late civil war.
They are looking forward to the Presidential elec
tion, atdd the refusal to count the "white man's"
electoral votes of the Southern States, which
they propose to elect iu informal elections, as
they did the delegates to the secession conven
tion in Texas in 1860, as furnishing the time and
the occasion for the renewal of the rebellion un
der the cuspices of the President of the United
States. This is what all this means. The rebt4-
lion may be said to be upon us.
TESTLMONY OF• A COLORIJ ITNESS
The freedmen had brim u iu the habit of congre
gating at their ball, which the robs had termed
"Hall of the Loyal League." Two weeks ago a
number of the white citizens proposed and openly
avowed that they would break up the Laval
League. They came there in the night, folly
armed. to the number of twenty or more, and
fired several shots into the house where the
e••,-
bored men were congregated. It was then agreed
by the colored men that, if they ,:tame there again
to molest them, they, the colored men, woul I
protect themselves. Nothing further occurred
,until Thursday last, when the Rev. kir.
Brooks, a colored pastor, with tr7euty• five
men, went to learn the fate of a colored
man who was reported to have teen hanged the
livening previous. On their return to their homes,
in a peaceable and law-abiding mauner,they were
waylaid and fired upon by a body of white citi
zens, who lay in ambush for them, killing two
colored men. This occurred without any threats
or acts of violence on the part of ttur colored
men. The whites then increased in numbers to
over three hundred. They went to every colored
house and took what arms and munitions of
war they could find, and deliberately killed or
wounded every colored man they could find. I
am really and positively sure that the num
bers of colored men killed will reach (riot
sixty, while not one of the whites was killed. I
was one of the party who had to run away, thus
saving my liter.--T-he--whites went to my house,
and look away three guns I had, and broke and
destroyed all my household furniture. It is a
well-known fact, which can be fully proved here,
that it was a willful determination on' the part of
•disloyal white men to murder every liuiou men,
white and colored, in the neighborhood. The
leaders of this outrage were three ex-rebels.

Edwards and George Stout, who reside her:
Governor Hamilton corroborates this testimony.

H. C. MOSLEY, Secretary.
A correspondent of The ft:Person (Texas)
Kt; Klux (Blair and Seymour) writes: "The nig
for and the white man are not likely to agree. unless
the nigger yields to the white coati s views, which he,
-con do, or die. Ho has not -the intellect, and tble
white men, who out number him five to one, wilf
never, no! never, consent to be his bondman or
his inferior in any sense. On this the Ku-Klux
is ail level. No nigger in the Ku-Klux."
—The ; Louleville (Ky.) Courier says c "When
the Iniquities of an untalr, partisan draft were
filling the ,armies with Democratic mechanics and
laboring men dragged from their homes and little
ones, to fill the graves that would have otherwise
yawned for the skulking Radicals, there was, of
course, a great riot in New York city. As that
shy was overwhelmingly Democratic, it Is very
probable that the mob were mostly Democrats.
Gov. Seymour, while deeply sympathizing with
his outraged people, used his influence and did
his whole duty successfully to protect all persons
and property without regard to party."
General Charles G. Halplne.
Charles G. Halpin() was born under the sof.:
twilight of mingling fact and fiction which
broods forever over the not:tic, picturesque and
unhappy island of ireland. His father was a
clerg3 man of that Established Irish Church
Which is now threatened with summary discs
ablisbmpt, and a man of decided literary taste.
lie was a writer, also, of recognized ability,
edited a newspaper in Dublin (the parish-work
of Protestant rectors in Ireland not being for the
most part absolutely absorbing in its demands),
arse contributed to Blackwood's Magazine in the
best &ye of "Maga." He attempted, to make a
physician of his eon, but failed. The youttCpur
rued his general studies at Trinity College,and of
his legitimate
"Muses, law, physic, divinity,"
• - •
elected the first ashis patroness. Ile did not,
however, long devote himself to her service, for
at the early age of, nineteen be married in Entrland
end turned his face westward to the New World.
He arrived in this country in the terrible year of
the great Irish famine, 1847, and at once found
employment as a writer for the press. Young as
be was, he brought to this work a quite unusual
ripeness of-culture, the natural result of the Influ
ences amid which he had been born and bred, and
soon made his mark. He at first drifted to Bos
tor ; but as soon as be bad taken his bearings
In the new waters upon which he had launched
his skiff, be steered for New York. Here for
nearly twenty years ho hied; playing many
parts In' the two worlds 'of journalism and of
politics, establishing connections with all the
most influential and important men of either
sphere, making many friends, and of course
many enemies also, Incessantly active, pouring
forth an astonishing variety of articles, weaving
endless webs of political contrivance, and_ ever
. .
and anon amid this whirl of passions and of per
lormanceiosolacing hie "soul with bursts of song,
free, litient, and genuine. Upon the details of
his career it is not necessary that we should
dwell. It is enough to say that for years past no
man has been better known than he In the ranks
or NeW York jOurnniElil. HIS versatile, genial,
and impressible nature made it easy for him to
maintain friendly, s ocial, and professional rela
tions with men of the most diverse opinions, and
those who knew him best will hardly deny
that, like Lucian of old, he cherished a certain
_blatd_contemptioropinions in. general--This.
however, did not prevent him from waking up
.his mine, at Tim - outbreak - 4m' the - el vii — eviir, that
he owed a duty to his adopted country, which
lortunately happened to coincide with the sag :
gestions 01 a truly Celtic disposition. He
joined the army as a second-lien tenantin the New
York sixty-ninth regiment. So facile a writer,
and a man eo fertile in resources not always al
the command of gentlemen of the sword, could
not, however, be long suffered to waste upon the
line qualities vital to the staff of the army.
Lieutenant Halpine, promoted to a majority,
served on the staff of General Etunter i in Mis-•
souri and South Carolina, and was finally made
Assistant-Adjutant General on the staff of General
Halleck, at Watihineton.
In 1865, having been brevetted a Brigadier-
General of volunteers, and having received a
Major's commission in the regular army, he gave
ip hie military prospects, and returning to New
York, where his family had residt d throughout
the war, ho purchased an interest in the Citizen
newspaper and became its chief editor. He was
next year elected to the lucrative and responsi
ble office of City Register. His death on Monday
morning, at the early ago of thirty-nine, has cut
short the political career upon which he had
entered with all the ardor and vivacity of his
temperament.
It is as a man of letters, however, as we have
said, that General Halpine was most widely
known, and it Is as a man of letters that he will
be most seriously missed beyond that sacred
borne-circle with whose grief the stranger inter
meddleth not. A quaint and telling song written
by him while he was attached to the stall of Gen.
Hunter in South Carolina, and published under
the name of "Private Miles O'neilly," attracted
an extraordinary degree of attention throughout
the country. The pseudonym at once became
famous. With his innate love of mystification,
it was impossible for General Halpin() to resist
the temptation held out tO him by this hit.
He gave Miles O'Reilly a certain, dinner at
Delruenico's, which, though a Barmecide feast in
respect" to the guests as well as the viands,. Is to
this day believed by thousands of worthy people
to have been a most real banquet, enlivened by
speeches from eminent orators, no one of whom
we are sure, ever felt disposed to repudiate as
disci editable the eloquence fathered upon him by
the clever contriver of the hoax. There is notit-
ing better In their way in the "Rejected Address •
es' of the brothers Smith than the speeches which
General Halpine, on this memorable occasion,p t
into the mouths of General Dix and Mr. Brady.
And yet the popular reputation of "Miles
O'Reilly" hardly does justice to the best qualities,
certainly does injustice to the best possibilities,
of General Halpine's genius. For he really pos
sessed a certain share of that rare and divine
quality, which grows in the best of his pathetic
v. rses, and lifts his most ephemeral effusions at
times into the upper air. His last composition,
a poem in menwriani of the dead 01 the "Corco
ran Brigade," lacks only the careful and artistic
finish which he could easily have given it, to
steere for It a permanent place in the liters
!ure of Irish valor and Irish devotion. Nor this
alone. There may be, and we doubt not there
will be collected from the four corners of the
newspaper world a volume of Gen. Halpine's
songs and lyrics which shall do hdnor to the he
roic: and musical island of his birth, the lovely
and long-suffering land of which another Irish
poet of the truest metal, Clarence Mangan, sang:
' Let none believe this lovely Eve outworn or
old—
Fair is her form, her blood is warm, her heart is
bold—
Though strangers long have wrought her wrong
she will not fawn,
Will not prove mean our Kathuleen Houla
halm."
Like Mangan, General Halpin() was a born
translator. Had he improved this talent to its
full he might have taken rank with the
three or four best translators of the century. His
vereicn of Mr. Longfellow's graceful French
vt recs sent to Agassiz with certain bottles of old
wit e on hie birth•day, would of Itself suffice to
justify this praise, with all that it implies, for
the few who really know how subtle and varied
are the attributes which go to make up a great
translation. He was a devout lover,too,ot all good
poetry troth Horace to Tennyson, and a critic of
no mean order.
General Halpine leaves a widow and six chil
dren, the eldest, a daughter born a year or two
atter his arrival in this country, Inc youngest a
mere infant.—N. Y. I ror/d.
THE INQUEST ON THE BODY OF GENERAL CHABLEi
Early in the morning, before daylight, Mr.
Halpire's body was removed from the Astor
House to his former residence at No. 58 Wc.,t
Forty-seventh street. In the afternoon, at
about one o'clock, the Deputy Coroner visited
the house to make preparations for the inquest.
The body had been removed from the collie
and laid on the floor to undergo the embalm
ing process, which had been commenced.
Mr. Albert Whitney was the first and
only person to make a deposition. This deposi
tion was to the effect that Mr. Halpine had, dur
ing the threeyears that Mr. Whitney had at
tended him as family physician, been in the habit
of usirg chloroform, in small quantities, to allay
a nervousness to which he was a vldtim, and
that, in the opinion of the physician, Mr. Halpine
bad died from an overdose of chloro
form. When Coroner Flynn arrived at
the house Mr. Whitney withdrew
statement. The Coroner, after a short con
sultation wth the physicians, decided that it wi,s
necessary to have/mist-mew/on examination of the
body, a decision that was strenuously opposed by
the physicians. The body will, however, be ex
amined this morning, and the embalming of it is
therefore delayed. The Coroner Impaneled the

THEATRES, Etc.
THE Wnwlr.—The spectacular drama, The
Black Crook, was produced last night at the Wal
nut Street Theatre, to a crowded house. some
improvements have been introduced into the
representation, and it now fulfils its purpose,
which is to afford opportunity for plenty of bal
let•dancing—better than it ever did before. The
drama upon which the gorgeous material is
hung, has been greatly reduced, and there is a
greater amount of fine spectacle. The dancing last
night was of the very best kind. and is well worth
the price of admission. Mlles. Morlacchi, - Leah,
Sands and others, acquitted themselves with dis
tinguished grace and skill, and they were ail
vigorously encored. If the success of the first
performance is an augury of that which is to at
tend the piece throughout, Mr. McDonough will
have no reason to be dissatisfied with the result.
THE A3IERWAN.—The American Theatre an
nounces a miscellaneous performance this even

This Company, National in its character,offers,
by reason of its Large Capital, Low Rates of Pre
mium and New Tables, the most desirable means
of insuring life yet presented to the public.
The rates of premium, being largely reduced,
are made as favorable to the Insurers as those of
the best Mutual Companies, and avoid all the
complications and uncertainties of Notes, Divi
dends and the misunderstandings which the latter
are apt to cause the Policy-Holder.
Several new and attractive tables arc now pre
sented, which need only to be understood to
prove acceptable to the public, such as the IN
COME•PRODUCING POLICY and RETURN
PREMIUM POLICY. In the former, The policy
holder not only secures a life insurance, payable
at death, but will receive, if living, after a period
of a few years, an minuet income, equal to ten per
Cent (1.0 jr cent.) of the par of his policy. In the
latter, the Company agrees to return to the as
sured the total amount of money he has paid in, ire
addition to the amount of his policy.
The attention of persons contemplating insur
ing their lives or increasing the amount of insur
ance they already have,is called to the special ad
vantages offered by the National Life Insurance
Company.
