A SAD LEssoN.--A melancholy statement OF
tho end Of Mr. Patrick ODonohoc appears in
some Of the papers OF the day. He died ut
Brooklyn, on Saturday last, friendless and
almost alone,v and was buried by q few
g friends Of the cause f,r which he had been
banished His wife and child arrived at New
York on Saturday. but did not find him until
his eyes had boon closed in death. Have the
getters-up Of banqucts and foasts Of welcome,
and other conviyial receptions, nothing to cen
sure themselves for in this connection? Mr..
O'Donohoe, We doubt not, was man Of abili-
ty and intelligence; but how sadly was no be-
trayed into practices from which he should
have been protected
With the utmost consideration for tho fool
ings Of every one and especially Of the afflicted
family OF the deceased, we cannot but regard
the present as fitting moment to allude t.
this subject and to suggest that radical
change is needed in the popular mode Of indi.
eating welcome or making demonstration
Of honor. The exciting draught ought not to
be necessary TO awaken the spirit Of hospitali-
ty and good feeling.
Mr.. O'Donohoe may not have died, and We
hope did not, from the direct effects of such
abuse but the exposure Of his frailty has been
very public, and the subsequent neglect and
descrtion Of him by those who were but re-.
Gently so loud in his praise are no less remark
able.

The Erie DiRictzlty.--The Mob Defeat
cd.

The mobocracy of Erie were brought up stand
ing, before Judge Irwin, Thursday last, in the
Supreme Court at Pittsburgh.
The question came up on motion to show
cause why John Fitzpatrick and others should not
be arrested for contempt of court, in disregardng
the injunction restraining the mob from iniuring
the railroad. Counsel having been heard at length
on both sides, the court decreed that Fitzpatrick
should be confined to the Jail of Allegheny coun-
ty, to await the pleasure of the court.
The court further ordered, that the United States
Marshall should report to the court all persons
interfering with, or resisting the repairing OF
bridges at Harbor Creek, or elsewhere, and that
the Marshall should see the injunctions heretofore
granted, rigidly enforced. The Cleveland Plain
dealer, in speaking of this subject, remarks:
'This is the legitimate and merited result of the
fanatical folly into which Erie has becrazed her.

Marshal FROST and Deputy SPRoUL, left this
morning, to enforce the orders of the court.
U. S. Marshalls, Spoul and Frost, on Thursday
arrested fitzpatrick Fitzpatrick, John Jack, and
DR.. Sherman, and conveyed them to Pittsburgh.

the other lands of the State, on the grand dupli-

This would be no more than just. The whole
quantity of land at first held by the General Gov
ernment in this State, appears from the actual
surveys, was l6,77O,984 acres. The proceeds al
ready realized by the National Treasury, amount
to nearly 1921 100000, which is an average of
more than s. rs per acre for the entire quantity.

policy of the present Administration.

abroad-have been conducted, during the past
