The Kerry sDurt is all over. The actors
in Il have -do0e. with the Government,H but
the GogeFameHtSl has not doaTe with them. !.
The quest for them Is continued unremit-i

among the mountains, but also by way of
.stealthy 0bseFv ton and inquiry. by allthel

police; every hetise in the whole district
and every one of the regular Inhabitants

way they are likely, soon or late, to bore
thsiraway bone 70 every man who at any
tltSle formed one OF the insurgent party !
Up TO this time, the securing of the
m6untains Is e0attnted, mainly In the hope
of lighting on the now famous J. j. OCon-
nor, the leader OF the movement. On Tues
day last, a large party Of military and po-
lice set out on this mission from the neigh
'bofho0d aof Cahifeiveen, Under the guild
7anceaof one Maefeady, chief boatman Of the

the rebels BY pulling the rope over his
shoulder. and Whofrom that circum> tance
acquired the soubfsQuet ofthe walking gal

previous ones, proved vain and prohtless.
The securing party brought home with
them from the mountains nothing except a
good appetite. Great sympathy is felt for
0,COnnOf. not only in Kerry but through
0nt thesenfire country; this is partly due
to the daring spirit tie display ed, but In a
still greater degree TO the humanity and
whfRairy which marked his conduct during
his temporary command. Not a sipgle
-wanton or .vindietiVe act, can be laid TO his
charges outrage and plunder he and his
men could have committed on the persons
and properties of people who are . 'leagued
with the enemy,'' bat they scorned to be
guilty of anything of the sort; and when
as an act of war and military necessity the
police courier was shot down., O'COnnOr
was the first TO attend to his wound and
speak words of comfort 10 him. 1t is said
that he even WASHED the wound; but
there is no doubt that he examined it.
and told the sufferer to be of good
cheer. adding that he himself had re-
ceiVed much worse hurt in the American
war. Both as an Irish patriot and an Amer
Jean soldier, this co nduet was honorable to
him. No doubt it was perfectly in keeping
with his ex perience Ia the war of the Union.
where, after the battle, the dying and
wounded were the objects of such frater-
Ral tenderness as srareiyseif ever before,
was witnessed on the battle field It was
equally in keeping with the spirit and ira
ditiOns of the national party in ireland,
who have always proiessed to act on pure
and noble principles, to repudiate all ideas
of mere vengeance, aud of confiseation. and
of plumber. and to have no love for reVolu-
tiOnary c0mm0tion, which they regard as
In itself an evil. The outbreak in Kerry,
brief as it was, has served the good spur-
pose of putting almost cOmplete stop to
the outcry that had been got up by the lOy-
alclasses against the F1niai party, on the
ground that their project was one of rob-
berry, and arson. and murder, and had no
other end oc object. That atrOcious cal
nu1ny has been sileneef, for a time at all
events, by the conduct Of t9s little party who
sacked, and ravaged, and burned through

stances, any ill.dispOsed persons in the
town had attempted any acts OF robbery

to the account of the Fenians. But the

Fenians?

them among the men in the dock. Mr.. ID
