MURDER OF THE IDIOT AT PHILIPSTOWN.
—The Evening Post and other journalists have asked,
and very naturally, what is the Government about ?
We have asked the same question ourselves, and we can
positively state, that up
,to Saturday night, no intelli-
gence had reached the Executive of any such outrage
as that stated having been committed. Had such been
the case, and a refusal to take such steps as were calcu-
lated to bring the perpetrators of this terrible outrage
to justice, on the part of the Government, they. would
have disentitled themselves to the support and good
opinion of every well-thinking man in the kingdom.—
Dublin Mail.
RUMOURED RESIGNATION OF CAPTAIN
LAYARD.----It is rumoured, but we -cannot at present
vouch for its accuracy, that Captain Layard, the repre-
sentative for the borough of Carlow, is about to withdraw
from Parliament at the opening of the ensuing Session,
having obtained military promotion since the late brevet.
The Radical party keep the matter secret, but are, we have
heard, on the look out for a successor.—Carlow Sentinel.
