FROM NEW YORK.

Belligerant Correspondence between Col. John 0'Maho7uy "and Henry J. Bay*: mond—ThcCo war dice of Raymond^

Gen. Grants Reception—His Position Toward Mexico•—Excitement among the Quakers—The Preston King Suicide—1 Immense Frauds in the New York Cus-tom-house.

NEW YORK, November

Belligerant private correspondence between Col. Jobn O'Mahoncy, Head Cen-. tcr Fenian Brotherhood, and H. J. Ray^ mond, of the New York Times, published in the

IVCIOS

iNovember 17,

The correspondence is the subject of bitter comments every-where r.mong the Fenian Brotherhood to-night. Some threaten to chastise Raymond wherever found. Raymond's friends support him. A body-guard is suggested against an assault from the Fenians. The subject will be considered in the circles to-night. The feeling is growing more bitter. Outsiders comment ana wait tor a aeiuousuation.

The Fenian President and Congress are fitting up magnificent rooms, next to the Everett House, Union Square.

Grant is still the lion, but caged by ambitious merchants for private consumption. The preparations for his reception, Monday evening, at Fifth Avenue Hotel, are on the grandest scale—banquet, speeches and fire-works. A committee of 150 paid §250 each, and large outside contributions were made to pay expenses.

There will b.e a secret meeting of merchants at Fifth Avenue Hotel to-night to preseut to nim on his reception night a purse of §300,000. Stewart and others propose to maka it half million.

His speech at the Loyal League, in favor of forcing Maximillion out of Mexico and the triumplj^of the Liberal-party, was highly .popular, and with Logan's appointment deemed of special Government significance. 0

An effort will be made to draw Him out further on the subject at the Monday reception.

There was' a grand row among the orthodox Quakers in convention here tonight. Ralph Wells-, \n presentation, wanted them to establish Sunday Schools, to be called First-day schools, among them. Some favored it warmly for Quakers. The leaders contended that Wells wants to destroy the sect. Elizabeth Coinstock denounced 'the movement.— The question was 2io»ijc.«»ca indefinitely. There is a great Quakor excitement.

The authorities aro still dredging the river for the body of Preston King.— Ilcavy guus were fired this afternootff%ut the body was not found. The stor.y of the twenty-five pounds of shot around his neck and premeditated 6elf-destruction is now generally believed.

The discoveries of an organized system of frauds in the Custom-house continue. The case against W. C. Barney^ and others, made some progress to-day in the Tombs' Police Court. Ampng .oth^r developments, Bariiey says it is known to many acquainted with the custom-housc business, that tens of thousands of bonds the amount of hundreds of millions of dollars are now on file iu the Customhouse, having the. names of the parties, who were known at the time they signed the bonds not to be worth one dollar, except the dollar they received for signing the bonds hence it is, that the bond clerk has no guarantee against any thing imposed upon by parties to bonds.

It is believed this fact, coming to the knowledge of Mr. King, in connection with Other failures and suits to recover, acted upon his mind, jilready affected, and drove him to suicide.

excitemcnt among the Fenian Brothers^ The Tiiftcs of the 14th inst., denounW ed the leaders of tlfc Fenian Brotherhood as impostors, r/hb only used sinoncy received to buy patent-leather boots and other luxuries.

O'Mahoney, on the same cjjito, through B. D. Eillion, a friend, demasds retrac-. tion. Kayniond, on the Bame date, sayi* lie sees no ground for either demanding or making a retraction, but will be happy to consider any new facts calculated to change his opinion.

November 15, O'Mahoney insists on a retraction, and considers Raymond's response an aggravation of insult and a case of impertinence, and requests Raymoud, to name a fiiend. Raymond of the same date, says if he don't misunderstand the last paragraph, it means to retract or fight, and wants definite information on the subject. O'Mahoney on November 15, reprobates the idea that the American editor showed a gross calumny behind a grosser quibble, and says the case never can be debated in Police Court, owing to any predetermination on the part of himself and

Fading, out.

Oh,Qod in Heaven, for all thy mercies we give Thee thanks! Light is dawning upon the World, and tlfe people are returning to reason. The layv breaking, constitution despising, fanatical, thieving, dishonest, bloody harmony of the land is fading out, and the withes of intolerance and despotism are being loosenod from the throat of a brave and outraged peopfc. In Wisconsin the radical element is broken. Howe, its leader is sent back to Washington unendorsed—the fangs are drawu from the black serpent of abolition, and the statcstaan who presides where once sat a clown is given help from a state which lately was a black cloud on tlie sky of America. W

Johnson has been endorsed. His policy h$s been endorsed and his hands strengthened as was Joshua's. Thank God for this. Wisconsin is free from radical intolerance. The chains forged by the party which grinned approval of the late martyr's stories and jokes arc rustin_ apart. The man of wax is gathered to his reward, be it cold or warm'. The party whifch made and lost him, thanks to Providence, is fading out and their influence, based on plunder, theft, baseness, treachery, ignorance, incompetency, misrule, usurpation, tyranny, and disregard for laws both human and divine is waning. Wisconsin lifts her head Kroin the hot bed of niggcrlsm and asserts her claim to Caucassian blood aud to patriotism.

declines to

comply with the menancing demand for retraction. O'Mahoney, of the same date, leaves the correspondenc with the public, with relnarksjtliat a person who will neither undo foul libel, nor placc himself in a position to be chastised for it, is not possessed of the courage of a man or the instincts of a gentleman.

u.y/nii tne horse, and day is breakii: once again as of yore, sti! y. Courage, Democrats. Be active and patient. Labor, for you will not have long to wait. God pitied us in the hour of darkness and has given the people strength and reason. Sustain the laws. Sustain the President in his good efforts. Stand like walls of adamant against tho element of ruin. Be not lured from the path of patriotic devotion to our country. Gird on the armor anew and tramp the element of wrong, of aristocracy and radicalism into the earth, and God, who in April last punished will soon reward.— LaCrosse. Wis.,y Ee'mo9raL

THE position occupied by the Radicals in regard to President Johnson reminds us of an anecdoto about one of our colored "hrotLoringf" who was rffiup.sto.rl l*y the Rev. Mr. Sambo to flick up a red hot stove that had fallen over during an outburst of religious zeal from the "gemman preach—ah!" The overturned stove was about to fire the building but it was too hoi to handle,"and as"the deacons and deaconesses stood around scratching th^ir black, knotty heads in p'erplexed excitement, the "bruddcr in de pulpit" rallied one at last by shouting out, "Pick it up, brudder Johnsing: de Lo'd wont let it burn you! "Brudder Johusing did pick it up, and bruddcr Johnsing also dropped it, in the wildest agony. With the steam rising from his roasted hands, he screamed out in answer, "De hell he wont—de hell he wont!" So it is with the Radicals. The stove at Washington draw3 from them equal profanity, upon every attempt to jiandle it

''-ft Ex-Governor Wright. The London correspondent of the Chi« cago Republican pays the^ following lefthanded compliment to Ex-Governor Wright,,of this State:

OUR-WIINISTFR AT BERLIN.—The recent changpin cur legation at Berlin, cannot be considered .a happy one. Mr. Judd of Illinois, who has lately been recalled, is a thorough American, gifted with remarkable keenness, discretion and judgment, with- elegant but unpretending mauners, and always commands respect, even Where he is not sufficiently known warmer feeling. In his place, Gov. Wright, a worn-out politician of Indiana, has been sent out. Mr. Wright is well known'in Prussia, havino as our representative there during the administration of President Pierce. A man of weak mind, without either education or talent, he is oftencr ridiculous than Otherwise. Nothing but accidental circumstances ever lifted him into prominence as a public man, and in his present situation hejyay not inaptly be compared to the ass in the lion's skin. I know cry well that he stood firmly on the right side during the rebellion, when plenty of our -.Democratic politicians were led off into the abyss of secession: .butis that a sufficient reason for putting him in a place where sound judgment and a respectable degree of intelligence are required?

SENSIBLE.—The National Intelligence^ in noticing the gross and ^discriminating calumnies of the Republicans upon their party opponents, says "the calm sense of the nation cannot be made to indorse the monstrosity that any dangerously large and organized body of Northern men arc, or'cvo'rSvjere, traitors to this Union, or that they would ever have consented to a dismemberment of the Repualic, or that they could now be induced to do so, Arguments $f this grade might have been pardonable to partisan heat while .the •rebellion-was raging but such arguments now aro in their nature treasonable for have oalmnoBB, patience a'D# IM»BCO."*"Vh#'"»4 '"'1

HoirJujw England llobs the.Country. The editor of the Ne England_ Far mer, in last "Notes on Travels,'.' SSjs "A stay of four hours at Lowell gavfi me opportunity to learn that most, o£. the mills arc in operation and earning"' large' dividends for stockholders. I was told by a gentleman somewhat- conversant with the manufacture of cotton, that oni all light cotton goods a profit of one dollar is made on every pound of cotton used!"

This profit of a dollar on a pound.of cotton comes off the hard earnings of the people of the West and South. Yet, strange to say, we have had a party in the West stupid enough to favor this impoverishment of their own section of1 the country, in order that another scction might become enormously wMlt^y5w«7 ..... Ohio aud K.eatuckyy hy. party ma chincry, have voted in, years past quite! as', strongly for thia oppression of themselves as the New England manufacturers, who were the gain'crs by it. It is gratifying to know that the scales are begiuning to fall from off the people's eyes, and'that they now think that the West has boen robbed about, long enough by tho Eastern cotton lords.
