The Debats has the following article on Ireland :
" If ever Ireland should become English, it will be
when it shall be cccupied and colonised by the English;
but so long as it shall be inhabited by the natives, it is
probable that a fusion will be impossible. This autago
nism between the two races is nowhere shown in such
a striking manner as in the administration of justice.
There is no country in which assassinations are so fre-
quent as in Ireland; but in the eyes of tae Irish to kill
a landlord is not a crime, because in general he is
either a Saxon or a Protestant. We lately read that in
the space of twenty years nearly thirteen thousand per-
sons had been brought to trial in Ireland, on charges
of murder, and that out of that number only 260 could
he convicted. This was not owing to the facts not
being clear to every one, but because juries could not
be found to return a verdict of guilty. Either the jury-
men, therefore, morally and tacitly absolve murder, and
only regard it as an act of legitimate revenge,
fear, by condemning the murderers, to expose themselves
known
to reprisals from secret societies. It is, moreover, or they
t deliver
that, according to the English laws, j
their verdicts unanimously, so that it ml
unecessary
for the prisoner to have one friendly voifcoeref.norYthe ends of
in the eyes of
justice to be defeated. Murder is,
Irishmen deprived of its eharacterttohtemreoral crime; it is no
act, which is to be j adged
longer anything but a political feeling is so inherent in
in a political point of view.rhisc
them that they carry it with them mina
n a every country in
the world. We have an example of thitrial which
is now before the Supreme Court of the United States.
An Irishman who had fired a pistol at a landlord es-
caped to America.
The English Government, by virtue
of treaties, has claimed his extradition, and it is probable
e
that it will be granted. Bet what
has up to the present
time delayed it is that the guilty man is an Irishman,
and there are several millions of his countrymen in
America who make common cause with him. These
Irishmen have been already naturalised, and conse-
quently have a right of voting, and, as the presidential
election is near, the candidates seek for Irish votes at
any price. There has been thus formed in the United
States a party of sympathisers in favour of the
murderer claimed by England. The fact of the
crime is not dispattd; ouly it is wished to be
considered as a political act, or according to
the expressions made use oft in America:
as aniso-
lated act of a long drama which has its origin in the
conquest of Ireland, and in the confiscation of its soil by
the c..equerors.' It is this unextinguishable hostility
of races which in Ireland justifies all the acts of violence
which are called agrarian crimes, and all the insurrec-
tions against the laws. During the last elections there
Was a disturbance in which the soldiers, being pelted
With strine, were obliged to fire in self-defence. An
inquest was held, and although it was clearly proved
that the soldiers did not fire until driven to the last ex-
tremity and only in self-defence, a number of witnesses
came forward and swore that they had fired without any
provocation, and the justice of the peace and six or eight
of the soldiers have just been committed by the Coroner
to take their trials for voluntary homicide. The
witnesses knew that if they had given any other evidence
they would have subjected themselves to the danger of
being shot. A curious example was lately given of that
free-masonary which covers Ireland with an invisible and
invincible network. A murder was committed in the
open day on a Sunday during the celebration of mass.
The murderers being pursued by the police, took refuge
in the church. The chief of the police thought himself
sure of being able to recognise them as they were in their
shirt sleeves, but wnen he entered the church, he soon
found himself compelled to abandon his search, as all the
men had thrown off their coats; they were all in their
shirt sleeves, and jeered at the police. Ordinary justice
is impossible in such countries, and under such condi-
tions."
