ANOTHER DODGE TO DIDDLE THE IRsH.-Tht

This is another Slievegammon dodge to diddle
the unfortunate Irish. If the offence be political
one-as has been alleged-why do not these gentle.

teal purposes, in connection with Ireland, in 1sis

and Co., who, in order to bleed the poor Celtic
aborers, chambermaids, and others, to the tune of
$4,000, reported in the Tribune a bloody battle,
and total defeat of the British, at Slievenamon
The battle never took place; but the money was
subscribed and bagged-and that is all we know OK
it, and probably all we ever shall know. Do they
want $4,000 more We would respectfully suggest
that, before they got any more money for Irish poll
teal purposes, they should render some account to
their victims Of the Slievegammon fund Of 1913.
The interest, by this time, ought to swell IL to
something like $4,000 That surely ought to be
enough to defend fifty men from the punishment
due to their crimes.
Weperceive that Judge Nelson is ofopnion that all
the requirements of the treaty not complied WITH
and that this extraditon case will have to go before
the Supreme Court of the United States for final
decision. But Judge Nelson does not hint that the
evidence is not conclusive ne to the guilt Of the

merits Of the case. IL is worthy Of remark that the
most rabid Of the demag ogues and newspapers who
want to make political capital out Of it, no longer

The Homestead BIII-The Land Reformers
and the SeDate-Another Seward Move
ment.
Within the last few weeks the land reformers of
this city-the vote yourself alarm partyhave been
holding their meetings, public and private, with
view to some decisive political action in reference to
the Homestead bill now pending before the Senate
Of the United States. The rank and file Of this
party were, doubt, influenced in getting up these
assemblages with the single idea Of using all homo
rabe efforts and Of employing all honorable means,
10 secure the passage Of the bill. Among their
numbers are many landless democrats, to whom the
free gift of one hundred and sixty of land in
some one Of the rich valleys praires of the West
would be a very acceptable thing. Whatever the
character of the measure in itself-however iniqui
tous dangerous, corrupting and destructive in It's
tendencies-tbough it offers a bounty to idleness
and vagabondism, while to the industrious and
prudent it turns the cold shoulder-notwithstandipg
all this, it is quite natural that the classes to be be-
netted by the measure should gveit their support.
Hence there is nothing extraordinary in the meet
ings Of the landless" for the purpose of pressing
upon the Senate, in respectful manner, the expe-
diency and public policy Of passing the bill.
Our land reformers, however, do not stop here.
Not bit Of it. This land reform movement-like
all other movcments--howeyer good or bad, or just,
or corrupt or sedii absurd-has fallen under
the control Of srtful demagogues, who have been
using ii with singular adroirness for the promotion
Of their selhsh schemes. The various cliques and
squads Of loafng reformers and philosophers, who
hang about the skirts Of w. H. Seward and his
abolition, fee soil and land reform organs, have
& contriyed to get these Homestead meetings into
their hagds and to give them exactly that direc-
tion which will tell in the election Of November to
the disadvantage Of Gen Pierce. The organization
Of secret lodges throughout this State. the pre-
ccedipgs Of the called Industrial Association and
their adheionts in this city, are all a par, of tho
sbrewd and cunning game OF the wire-workers of
Seward and his organs, to draw of the ignorant
candidates for free farms from the support of the
democratic ticket. On the other hand, the eauiyo-
cal declarations of General Scott in regard to actual
settlers are made TO appear covering the whole
ground: and thus, while the land reform wings are
oonciliated TO the support Of the wing ticket, the
progressive sgraIians Of the democracy are to be
driven into the arms Of the Pttsburg free soil con-
vention
Following mp this policy, the land reformers,
.nder the instigation Of the ayowed as well as
be secret agents Of Seward and Company, have

THE COpFIsH QUESTIONING. WEBSTER RE-
TURNED TO WAsHINGroN.-We published, in yester-
days HERALD, a special despatch from Washing
ton, giving a very warlike aspect to the fishery
question. There appears to be no danger Of the
vessels of war of the two governments coming into
collision, as we doubt not, their instructions are Of
the ost pacific sort on both sides, and especially
on our side. Fears, however, are entertained that
the Colonial authorities in earnest and mean to
expel confscate all Yankee fishing smacks caught
within the forbidden line, at all hazards 1t quite
plausible to suppose that this summary policy can
not lopg be practiced without some little Yankee
resistance and bloodshed the consequences of which
would almost certainly result in q casus beVi too
exciting to be resisted. On the other hand, the
from the fishing grounds is of a contradictory
character; but far can ascertain, serious
disturbances have occurred, though several Ameri-
vessels are reported as having been seized and
confscated.
Mr.. Webster, at this stage Of the business, and
on the urgent requisition of the President-as we
have been intermediates been induced to leave
Marshfeld, and return to join the British minister
at Washington. And we are glad of it, Marshfeld is
good place for clam chowders, and for fishing; but
the seat of is the spot for the business Of
diplomacy, whether the subject be the Goldfish ques
ton or the Tehuantepec treaty. We had our msgiv-
ings from the first, that the experiment of negotat-
ing and rusticating with the British minister, at
Marshfead, would not work well. We are sorry,
on account of Mr.. Webster that it has failed; but
we glad, on account of our Yankee fishermen.
Whatever the state Of the case, whatever the in
ducements for peace or reciprocity, compro-
mise, the American people expect the President and
Mr. Webster to sustain the rghts-the authenticated
and established rights-of our American fishermen,
as a SINE qua non.
Mr.. Webster left the Astor House yesterday after
noon, at FIVE O'clock for Washington; and diplomatic
conferences with Mr.. Champion, and cabinet coun-
ellis, and confidential messages to the Senate, and
the basis of new convention, may soon be ex-
pected to follow But, in the meantime, hostilities
may be preciptated at the fishing grounds There
is no time to be lost.

dupes held there, last Friday under the denominar
tion of 0iritalist convention. To such Is have
not had any previous knowledge Of the blasphe-
nous absurdities practised by these maniacs, the
simple account of their proceedings would appear
to be utterly Incredible But we have become so
accustomed to these exhibitions lattery that they
have lost the charm Of novelty, and are now
scarcely sufficient TO create any interest, or
awaken surprise in the mind. And yet this
movement, growing as it is, and spreading its
baleful influence misunderstanding into its circle
men of learning and ability from the bench, the bar
and the pulpt-presents itself in such destructive
and demoraliSing shape that the question should be
seriously considered-How is such noxious evil to
be expunged from the community? Two methods
suggest themselves to us, either of which we think
would prove efficacous The first and principal one,
is to be carried out by those reverend and pious
men who have charge of the spiritual welfare of the
community. Why should they not, too, hold a
counter convention, and devise grand scheme Of
exercising the whole legion ofev spirits that to
have left the herd of swne and taken possession of
men and women? The rod of Aaron, when changed
into the serpent, swallowed up all the serpents Of
the Egyptian magi and so, good hearty SPIRIT
such as they could evoke, might gobble up all the
vagabond spirits from the other world that play
ing such pranks with the brains Of these mediums
and knockers. If the ghost of Cotton Mather
were consulted, it would doubtless prescribe soye-
reign remedy for the malady Of these people; but
we question whether his prescription would be in
accordance with the requirements Of the new CODE

If the clergy are too negligent or too fearful
to undertake this duty, then we think the medical
faculty should be entrusted with the matter and
perhaps, after ALL this is the only real way to Crap
pie with the evil The delusionists are sick, bodily
as well mentally, and some gentle medicines
might have desirable effect in restoring them to
health. Some of them, we know, are almost be-
yond the reach of medical skill, and it would be
necessary to place them under restraint. State
lunatc asylums, for the of the spiritual
knockers, are, therefore, badly wanted in this and
such other States of the Union rs have been made
the theatre of their operations and in the mean
time some temporary structure should be procured
for their accom- mediation. One Of these modes ought
to be tried, to put end to these exhibitions Of de-
ranged intellect, which we often have to record
and which must tend to bring national character
for practical good sense into something of disrepute
Will the clergy join in prayer, must the medicos
take the matter in hand Whatever is to be done,
let it be done quickly.
