CnAsLzs GAvAs DvvPY.-Tsers can be but one

NAAxLSs GAvAN DvvPY.-Chere can be but one
opinion OF the course which tho Briiissa. govern
ment has pursued, and Is pursuing, towards the
patriot, Charles Gavan Duffy. He was arrested
nire months ago, and has been confined in prison
ever since. During that period he has been IN
dlcted on five several occasions; his health has
suffered severely from bad and unwholesome iood,
aSd trouble and anxiety of mind unspe akable, from
the circumstances connected with his situation
In addition to all this, his business, which was
very prosperous at the time of his arrest, has been
entirely destroyed, and he has been made bank
rupt by the government, having lost some fsrty
thousand dollars IN consequence OF his persecu-
ton. Mr. Duffy has recently been tried for the
crire q which he has been charged with, but
the Jury which were empanneled IN the case could
not agree, and were discharged without verdict.
This was evidently disappointment to tho 60
vernment, for a steam vessel, ready for sea, was
waiting for the conviction and sentence, to carry
him beyond the seas.
It would be supposed, that after failing In seve.
raj indictments, and on trial to secure their vic.
tim, the government would have been magnani.
nous enough to cease further persecution, and
order Mr.. Duffy's liberation. But it did nothing
Of the kind 80 far from It, motion to admit HIM
to bail was denied, and he was remauded back to
prison, to be again tried In the month of April
next, when, no doubt, the government and its
minlens will exercise all their ingenuity, in the use
Of blood.money and jury packing, to secure con.
viction, and get rid OF Mr.. Duffy, for it Is apparent
hat Queen Vlctora's throne cannot be considered
safe, unless he got rid of in some way or other
legal or illegal.
