GOV. PEIRPOINT AND COMP
TROLLER CLARKE.

uGovernor Pierpoint is absent from
this city on a tour to Southwestern Vir-
ginia, We do not suppose that If he
were here he would think the matter
called for any further action on his part.
1t will require something more than the
affirmation of Clarke and the oath OF
Smith to unsettle the confidence of the
public in the truth of the denial he has
made" ~
The above Is from the Richmond
Wing of Saturday, and is in reply to
Hon. Freeman Clarks's reply to Gov.
Peirpoint's card, and the affidavit of
Charles ID. Smith touching the same
subject. 1t illustrates q most selfish
phase Of human nature--that OF endeav--
oring to shield the conduct of friend
when he knows that that friend is
wrong, simply because the Governor
has had it in his power and Is still able
"a extend him favors which no one else
;s able to do. As was curly observed
nv the Washington Chronicle some days
400 the word OF Hon. Freeman Clarke
is as GOOD as that of Governor Pelrpoint
hut as Mr.. Clarke's statement Is now
suhstantiated by that of Mr.. Smith, Oh
oath. il makes his statement everpower
inn. aud that of Gov. Peirpoint utterly
worthless. If the case was one Tor TIT
courts a jury would have no difficult!
whatever in deciding ii in accordance
with the great preponderance of .evi
dence in favor of MFR. Clarke. The PEG
, Die of the State--of the whole country
indeed---haye already so decided il, an
. the efforts of the Wing and all other
will not be sufficient to change thei
verdict. We do not believe the asset
ton of the Governor that the people {
the state will refuse to pay the Interni
!. Revenue Tax, but that he said the
y would do so under certain contingenci'

EAGLES IN IRELAND.

The Dublin Express tells the follow
ing ''ower true tale:" =
For the last ten years William Pike,
Esq, of Glengarary, Achil, has had
golden eagle, which lie got before it was
fully tledged, and which Is considered
one of the finest specimens in the king
dom, perfect in plumagc and quite tame
1t is kept in large cage, made OF w1r0
about the thickness of sheep fencing:
For more than year past, Two WIG
eagles of the same species have frequent-
eHthe mountain over his house. Thcy
have. on several occasions, alighted on
the cage of the tame eagle, ana also on
| the top of the house. They are not ia
| the least shy, and as no one is permitteo
| to modest them they seem quite az nome.
Last week one of them broke tnrougu
| info the cage of the tame eagle. where
he rem aimed for few minutes and got
out AGAIN. so,a4, ...r
when SOME of the workmen stopped MS
| means of Kit, which seemed to astonisn
| him no little. He was spiendid piIu,
| with spread OF wing apparently Sve.
eipht feet. 4 fter keeping him nan un
honr Mr.. pike opened the cage uoor
and lat him ont. At first he didn't ny,
: - ha seemed on of breath Win ms ex-
4rtions. but allowed himseil W nc u. 49,
for t;fty Yards, to u rising ground, where
he took wing. Instead, however, OF
: a av Off at once, he remained poised
, over the cage, but at great height,
} o eor ten minutes. These eagles build in
t tDt ciifts of Dooega, four miles of, in the
face of a precipice which is about one
Thousand feet high and perpendicular.
The tame eagle seems to, be the attrac-
tion: the wild ones remain i'll sight of
IL about four hours of each day. They
chiefly prey upon bares, which are
abun.iarst in the locality. Their mode
of pursuing them is curious. They. al
most always hnnt in couples, and, when
j once the hare is started, one poises itself
, in the air to mark the game, while the
other twists and turns about like grey
hound, within a few yards of the ground
In. by any chance, the pursuer Loses
/, sight of the prey, he at once .poises, ano
the other takes up the running, ana y
on, until they kill. iaa
