POSTAL IRREGULARITIES.

A good many "M.D.'s," " D.D.'s," and similar per-
sonages, are just now airing their experience of post-
office misdeeds. Their complaints, some of which
appear every day in the Daily News, are not remark-
able for wisdom. One " D.D," bewails that several
missives, clearly addressed to him, were dropped into
a letter-box several doors off. Tho postman
brought a letter which was not for our
" D.D.," whereupon the unabashed official asked
if the unhappy " D.D." would send it to its destina-
tion. Another unfortunate person—this time au
"M.D."--is indignant that one of his letters, which
was under half an ounce, was charged twopence
extra. The same letter was afterwards passed
for a penny. Both "D.D." and "MM.'
call for a better discharge of post-office
duties. They would greatly oblige by
showing how this is to be effected. It is clear
that "D.D." suffered from a careless postman, and that
"M.D.'s" overcharged letter was the subject of a mis-
take. Are carelessness and mistakes to be wholly
banished from any largo body of officials, especially a
staff so magnificently remunerated as the Post-office
clerks and letter-carriers ? Mistakes do occur in
postal business, but they are not numerous. In
certain cases the servants are fined a portion
of their miserable stipends, and it may be concluded,
therefore! that they do not commit errors for the fun
of the thing. "D.D." and 46 M.D." shouldn't writa
such stuff.

The supporters of Mr. Kickham, the Fenian candi-
date for Tipperary, are naturally excited by their close
run within four votes of Mr. Heron. The majority,
they think, was unfairly obtained. They charge the
Government with deliberately retaining and sup-
pressing telegrams sent in the Kickham interest.
They allege that bribery and intimidation have
been practised, and they declare their intention of
petitioning. The Government has not been long in
possession of the telegraphs before accusations of
tampering with messages have been brought forward—
a charge of similar honesty with the allegation that
O'Donovan Rosso, was flogged. It is gratifying, how-
ever, to find the Fenians resorting to such peaceful
means as an election petition, though what benefit
they can derive from an inquiry is not at all clear.

THE FINSBURY MURDER.

The trial of Jacob Spinas, 28, porter, was resumed
this morning at the Central Criminal Court
Serjeant Sleigh addressed the jury for the defence,
a❑d submitted that the prisoner was not guilty of
murder, but that the act be committed only
amounted to the levier offence of manslaughter.
lle should not endeavour to argue that the
womata did not lose her life by violence inflicted by
the prisoner. He then commented upon the facts
of the case, and said that there could be no doubt
that the woman was admitted to the hotel either by
the prisoner or by some other means. They were
both the worse fc:r liquor ; and the evidence
went to show that after this several bottles
of wine were consumed by them, and it was
only reasonable to imagine that during the
night they were both in a beastly state
of intoxication, and he argued that while in
this condition nothing was more probable than that
a quarrel should take place between them, and that
the act was committed while the prisoner was in
violent excitement, and if the jury should think
that this was the case, they would be justified in
finding the prisoner guilty of the lesser offence of
man§lauglater only.

CASHEL INIQUITY.

The report of the Cashel Election Commission states
that inquiry was made into the practices at the con-
test of 1808, 1865, and 1859. On the first occasion
bribery was committed, and likewise in 1865,
but iu 1859 there was no corruption, and therefore
the commissioners made no inquiry into any previous
election. Mr. Alunster's object in fighting the
borough in 1868 was rather peculiar. He resided at
Sheffield, and knew nothing of Cashel; but his great
desire was to prevent the re-election of Mr. O'Beirne,
and he cared little whether he secured this
end by becoming a candidate himself or by
paying the expenses of another. There was bribery
on the part of Mr. O'Beirne, but not to such an
extent as on behalf of Mr. Munster. The latter gave
a cheque for £4OO towards the establishment of some
"Christian Brothers' Schools," and though he re-
jected an offer to have the money returned in case
of his non-election, yet the commissioners find that
his donation was used to influence the electors, and
thus amounted to corruption.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

THE FRENCH MINISTER AND THE COUNCIL.

We publish in another column, says the Times, extracts
trona the letters by which Count Daru, the French
Minister for Foreign Affairs, conveyed his mind to the
Papal Court and to the fathers of the (Ecumenical Council.
His language could not be more explicit, nor could it carry
greater weight, considering that it comes from one of the
most influential members of the new Imperial Government,
" a man of good repute," as the Jesuit organs are compelled to
describe him, " and professing sincere devotion to the
Church." The import of the communication is that by the
promulgation of the Dogma of Infallibility or of the Syl-
labus, Rome would not only imperil the Concordat, but
place the French Governme it under the necessity of with-
drawing its troops from the places they occupy in the
Pontifical States. These intimations, we are told, have
been treated with contempt. Rome seems on the one hand
to have ventured too far for retreat or compromise, and,
on the other, one can scarcely see what she may hope from
a conflict in which, besides being pitted against the whole
civil society of the world, she would be divided against
herself. •It did not seem possible that Rome could ever
push her pretensions beyond the limits attained at
Trent more than three hundred years ago. Nothing but
dread of the political disorders attendant on reli-
gious innovations prevented at that " juncture the
most advanced nations of Europe from breaking off from the
Roman Communion, and following Germany and England
in the path of freedom and light. Is the Vatican Council
to accomplish what the Council of Trent left unachieved?
Will Pius IX. attempt in our age what was above the
powers of Pius V. in the sixteenth century? And may
the Pope, in such an enterprise, contimie to reckon on the I
countenance and protection of France—of the France of
Darn and 011ivier—of the France whose counsels are thus
followed, whose services are thus acknowledged and
requited ?
London, England, 1870-03-03

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

Reforms in the mode of getting rid of very impor-
tant criminals are under consideration in France and
Germany. In the former country, where capital
punishment is all but a dead letter—only such excep-
tional monsters as Troppmann being decapitated—a
bill has been prepared to make the infliction of death
a private operation. Our " great success " in
this respect has led to imitation. • In Ger-
many the North-German Parliament has passed
a motion in favour of abolishing capital
punishment. Count Bismarck strenuously opposed
the change ; but the deputies persevered neverthe-
less. It does not follow, however, that the infliction
of death will soon be terminated, for the Prussian
Government has a remarkable talent for setting aside
the decisions of its Parliaments.

PROPOSED TREATY WITH SPAIN AND PORTUGAL.
Mr. Lowe told a deputation of the Associated
Chamber of Commerce that he objected to treaties of
commerce, especially in the instance of Spain and
Portugal, " because the former owes us some-
where about seven millions, and the latter
about three, and we cannot get anything from
either except barren acknowledgments of the debt."
" One who knows Portugal" writes to the Morning
Post to remind Mr. Lowe and others that the interest
on the Portuguese debt is always punctually paid,
and that there is no ground, as far as that country is
concerned, for such an enunciation on the part of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer. Passing from
this subject, the writer endorses the opinion
of the Post that our modern treaties with
foreign nations are all " leading on the road
towards free trade." We have treaties of commerce
with nearly every nation except Spain and Portugal.
Portugal offers to us now great reductions in her
tariff, and in return asks only for the equalization of
the wine duties. It is argued that if the conclusion
of treaties of commerce is for the future to be re-
nounced by England, still this need not preclude
two nations from acting upon a mutual understanding
where their mutual interests are concerned.

THE ILEIGN OF TERROR. IN MEATH.

Chief Justice Monahan drew a melancholy picture
of the state of Meath in his charge to the grand jury
of the county. He described the number and mag-
nitude of the offences as appalling. He had before
Mm, he said, a list of four or five cases where men
were brutally murdered in the noonday, and no per-
son had been made amenable for the crimes.
There were sixty or seventy cases of sending threat-
ening letters, but none of the offenders had been
brought to justice. Cases of attacking houses and ad-
ministering unlawful oaths appeared in the calendar,
and ho would hardly believe but that the people who
had been injured were aware of who the persons were
who had assailed them. He believed, in his con-
science, that it was through terror they were pre-
vented from coming forward to bring the offenders to
justice. his lordship, however, expressed a hove
that the same causes which had removed crime in
other counties would produce a like effect in Meath.
In Clare, Limerick, and Tipperary, crimes had gone
for some time unpunished, but after a little time, as
soon as the farmers felt it was necessary for their
own security that they should aid in the prosecution
of offenders, they came forward, the criminals wore
made amenable, and punishment was inflicted upon
them. Wicklow presents an agreeable contrast to
Meath. In the former co unty no organisation to
lefy the laws is in existence.

THE IRISH LAND BILL.

It is said a motion will be brought forward by the
extreme Irish members that, « unless considerable
concessions be promised by the Government in the
i❑terest of the occupiers of the soil," the second
reading of the Irish Land Bill will be met with a
direct negative.

Mr. Randall M'Donnell, Q.C., Secretary to the
National Conference, Mr. Isaac Butt, Q.C., Presi-
dent of the Irish Tenant League, and the President
of the Irish Farmers' Club, accompanied by the
Very Rev. Dean O'Brien, D.D., and the Rev. Thos.
O'Shea, P.P., and about twenty other gentlemen,
as a deputation from the Irish Conference, will ar-
rive early on Friday morning to meet the Irish
members and wait upon the Premier.

THE IRISH. M.P'S AND THE LAND BILL

Several Irish members have received more or less
threatening letters, warning them not to vote for
the second reading of the Government Land Bill.
These letters are not addressed only to members on
one side of politics. Most of them reach through
the private post of the House.

THE SACK OF WATERFORD.

An " Eye-witness " imputes the blame of the ter-
rible riot at theWaterford election to the inefficiency
of the local magistrates. There was an array
of police and military amply sufficient to preserve
order. Previously to the nomination, a proclamation
was issued to the effect that no bands would be
allowed to perambulate the streets ; but bands did
immediately perambulate the streets, and when once
the mob had safely defied the authorities, the au-
dacity of lawlessness increased every hour. The
Mayor says his power during an election is super-
seded by the High Sheriff. The High Sheriff
retired from the city without leaving auy
directions to preserve its peace, and was never
seen during that dreadful night of Thursday last.
No steps were taken to keep the peace, no orders
given to patrol the streets on the evening of the
polling-day, though rioting had commenced in the
form of smashing windows and knocking down
electors early on that day. The place was wrecked
ander the eyes of 600 police, 300 Dragoons, and a regi-
ment of infantry, with a half battery of artillery, all
waiting for orders from a local magistracy, who were
also waiting for directions from the High Sheriff, who
never appeared.

GENERAL MEDICAL COUNCIL.

The resolutions of the Council have been em-
bodied in a letter to the Lord President of the
Privy Council. At the meeting on Tuesday the term
"State medicine" as used in some of the resolutions
was defined to mean the application of the
science of medicine to the safety and well-being of
the community. A motion was also carried that
each medical corporation should possess the power of
striking off from its list the name of any one of its
licentiates who may bo convicted of felony or
mis-
demeanour, or be guilty of infamous conduct in any
professional respect.

THE DISCHARGED DOCKTARDMEN.

The Standard declares that the appeal from the dis-
charged dockyardmen is so cogent as to justify an endorse-
ment, before the boasted navy estimates of the year are
adopted. This, be it noted, is a cry from an injured an d
suffering class, which has been in great part pauperised by
the direct action of Government. 'They protest against
the usage they have received upon nine, or, we might
say, ten special grounds, each of which deserves considera-
tion, and ought to be well looked at before the House of
Commons can call itself apopular Parliament. The time at
which the the wholesale dismissals took place could not
have been more cruelly selected had it been resolved, as,
of course, it was not, to inflict a wanton and gratuitous
hardship upon the workpeople. Mr. Childers and his cham-
pions tell us it was understood, in all the days of Admiralty
rule, that merely hired men were never to expect pension
or gratuity of any kind when their industry, no matter
how surprising or peremptory the notice, was dispensed
with. If so, why was it necessary to post up only in
January, 1870, on all the dockyard gates, a proclamation
declaring that "no hired men must look for, or expect
compensation or superannuation on being discharged."
The truth is that the principle was never before made
known, and that the apologies of Ministers up to that
date had been worse than hypocritical. The men had
been deliberately—we were going to say inhumanly—
deceived. This is not a sentimental matter. It bears at
once on the good faith of Government, on public policy,
on the future of our dockyard system, and, although the
consideration may be wasted upon the Government, on
the state of the poor in large districts made desolate by
Liberal parsimony.

THE SERPENTINE.

Mr. W. EGERTON asked the First Commissioner of
Works if he could state when the works on the bed of the
Serpentine would be completed, and how long locomo-
tives would continue to run alongside the public thorough,.
fares in the park ; and whether he would take any precau-
tions against the recurrence of accidents caused by horses
taking f right at the engines, especially near the bridge
over the Serpentine.
Mr. AYRTON said various matters—the bad weather,
the frost, and other circumstances had impeded the work.
but there would be no unnecessary delay in finishing the
••cork.

Mr. Deweese, a Republican from North Carolina,
has resigned his seat in the House of Representa-
tives, to avoid expulsion, for having sold a West
Point cadetship. His example was followed by Mr
Golladay, a Democrat, from Kentucky, against
whom similar charges are under the consideration
of the Investigating Committee.
Three more members of the House, two of them
belonging to the Republican and one to the Demo-
cratic party, are also charged with a like offence.

Affairs at Fort Garry have taken a new turn.
Dr. Schultz, Major Bolton, and other loyal Ca-

force repudiating the Provisional Government of
the Insurgents, and demanding Rielle's retirement.
They number from 400 to 500 men, with two pieces
of artillery.
Rielle, who commands at Fort Garry, threatens,
on the other hand, to bombard the town, if the
English should attack him.
He still holds twenty Canadians as prisoners.

PREVENTIBLE ACCIDENTS.

The Pall Mail Gazette, fearing that the House of
Commons will be moved by the tears of the railway
companies to reduce the compensation they are
called on to pay in cases of loss of life or limb, calls
attention to Board of Trade returns with regard to a
few smashes which have occurred in the past few
Months. Half a column of accidents are enumerated, the
inquiries into which have resulted in the blame being
traced to carelessness, negligence, or some default on
the part of the companies' servants. Again and
wain is the " block system" recommended, as without
it it is uigod that no train is safe when travelling
between stations not three miles apart.

3111. TOMLINE AND THE MINT.

Mr. Tomline, M.P.' for Grimsby, itiwilLbelecol-
lected, sent a quantity of gold and silver bullion to
the Mint to be converted into coin. The Deputy
Master of the Mint declined to coin Mr. Tomhne's•
standard gold because the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer intended to bring in a bill naming himself as
Master of the Mint. lle declined also to coin his
standard silver because the First Lord of the Treasury
had neglected to issue the proclamation required by
the Act 50 George 111. Mr. Tomline has issued an ad-
dress to the Chambers of Agriculture, in which he says:
"I will not dwell upon the bitter satire which this
sadden change of system is upon previous Finance
Ministers, who saw pauperism increase, taxes and
rates multiplied, and yet refused to Englishmen the
right to coin shillings with which paupers might be
hired for work, and taxes might be paid. I pass by
such reflections, and the inquiry, why the right to a
free mint, now so rapidly acknowledged, has been so
long denied, and remark that this great advance
towards free trade is owing to the organisation of
chambers of a,ric.ulture."
