THE MANCHESTER MURDERS,

. ta- --E4H az -.ss-
We often hear it said Of late that Fen
isnism is dead, but we are of the opinion
that Fenianism, or something containing
the same ideas, will only die when the
las. Irishman expires, or the wrongs Of
his country are redressed. Centuries of
wrong and oppression are not so easily
bundled up and thrown into corner, no
more to be thought Of ,,..., ....-..
The last scene in the drama of Fenian-
ism is the trial, conviction and execution
of three men supposed to be Feni:ns or
in sympathy with thdeha, and charged with
the murder of the policeman Brett, dur
ing the rescue of Deasy and Kelly, two
leading Fenians, at Manchester. We'read
the trials of these unfortunate men, and
are convinced that two of them proved
aliJis by the most conclusive evidence
and therefore could not be charged with
participation in the riot, much less the
murder. Even against the third, nothing
of conclusive character was proved, and
1t does really seem that the blood of these
men was demanded for their opinions
sake 1nspeaking SO unanimously against
these judicial murders, the press of this
sountry has been true to itself. II ~.
Yes, we speak plainly, these men were
murdered for their political and national
sentiments There is no use in mincing
matters, we know what the government
Of England has done in times pasta
blood thirsty and revengeful spirit she has
often displayed before. BtBut did they
not have fair trial by jury z" we hear
some one ask Yes, but trial before a
packed jury in Great Britain is worse
than no trial at all. 1t is virtually con-
victing before the trial takes place.
Mitchell, O'Brien and Meagher know to
their sorrow how this thing works, of a
far trial by packed jury. ass, .s, :. =.
Now what has England accomplished
by the hanging of these three men
Added three more martyrs to the cause Of
Ireland /; whether deserving of the title
or not, they arc on the calendar. AL
ready we see some of the fruits in the
restlessness displayed by the Irish popu
lation in some of the. cities of England
and the funeral obsequies for these men
ate nded in some instances by 10000 pes
pie. 1t is even limited that the British
shipping in New York may be burned one
Of these nights, and some high handed
retaliatory measures may be looked for al
any moment England in her course
towards Ireland, must be convinced of hel
folly sooner or later. We think that the
English people will demand that. the
grievances under which the population o.
Ireland are laboring, must be redresse !
and we are of the opinion that British
statesmen will see the necessity of doing
justice to Ireland, for they must be con
sinced how suicidal it is to persist in the
present system of nIisrule. ).

One Rebel Still Left.

''Mack" of the Cincinnati Commercial,
after peTambulating extensively through
the heart of the Southern country, has
reached Savannah. He reports having dis
covered one Jebel, and describes him as
follows:
Inmy travels through the South thus
far, I have met but one man whom 1 con
slider still rebel. He was native of
South Carolina. an old gentleman. who
had kept himself and his sons out Of the
army while the fgh: lasted, and is still as
he said. cas- much Of a rebel as ever In
asmuch as he did no fighting, if he will
only agree not to be any more Of > rebel
in the future than he has been in the past,
he will not do much harm to the country.
He talked of teaching his grand children
to hate the Yankees, and plainly told me
he should curse the flag Of the Union with
his dying breath. I told him he ought to
keep his dying breath for better purpoee,
as the flag of the Union wouldn't care q
cent for his last curse, and asked him why
he didn't work some of the bile of his
stomach by shooting at the flag if he had
such hard feelings against it. Well, be
said, he didn't know. He always felt like
going into the war. and yet be never went.
But, if it was to occur again. he would be
sure to go; and. once in, he never would
surrender. After awhile the old gentle
man went away from where had been talk
ing, and asked bystander if he knew
him. Yes. he did he knew him as a
man who wouldn't even join the home
guards while the war lasted, aud who tried
to get his sons through the blockade to
Europe to keep thom from conscriptiOn.-
He had never done anything for the South
during the war, except to get a beef con
tract in New Orleans, out of which he
made S25, 600 in gold; and never was an
out and out fghiDg man until he heard Of
the surrender.

The telegraph brings intelligence that
the application made on behalf Georgia
for an injunction to restrain military re-
contraction has been dismissed by the
United States Supreme Count on the
ground of want of jurisdiction.
This is the death -knell of liberty. Her
last gasping breath has been stifled. The
Constitution ordained by Washington, Ham
ilton. Franklin, and Madison ''to secure
the blessings of Liberty to ourselves and
our posterity" is so much waste paper
The Union of our forefathers is dead An
i1-shapen bantling, born of faction and
war, takes its place how long will this
ill-begotten chit survive its stately prede-
cessor?
Dropping metaphor this Supreme Court
decision rules that States have no means Of
redress within the Union-no court Of ap-
peals to adjudicate on their grievances.-
The only course left for a State that feels
aggrieved, is to go out of the Union. The
propriety Of doing so becomes a mere
question Of relative strength-of expedien-
cy.
The argument that led To- secession in
1861. is thus reiterated officially by the
Supreme Judcature of the land. The fore
sight of Yanoey and TOombs is verified by.
the Official utterance of Salmon P. Chase.
The rebel leaders, it seems, were not de-
ceiyed in their estimate of the party then
ushered into power; they aid not mislead
the Southern people into secession = Ga
zetLe.

Think Of IT

The St. Louis Times says the authori-
tatively announced fact that 8667 blacks
and only 2Ol2 whites have been thus far
been registered in New Orleans, will show
the country in what manner the Radical
Hessians propose to perpetuate their rule.
Think of it for moment Out of the
whole city of New Orleans, her enterpris-
ing merchants, her ship owners, who ven
lures plow every sea, her manufacturers,
her tradesmen, her tens of thousands Of
mechanics and laborers, there are but two
thousand fit to trust with the elective fran
chise, or just one-fOurth as many intelli-
gent white men as there are negroes.

The Approaehing EIeetion.

More than once we have endeaYored to
impress on the minds of our readers the
necessity of registering themselves as
voters at the election soon to be held un-
der the franchise act. We know that
there is generally disposition to procras-
tinate in such matters and, frequently,
even to omit exercising the right Of fran
chise except on some extraordinary occa-
sion of great political excitement. But it
should be considered that delay now is
very apt to result in total loss of the right
to vote and moreover, it must be born in
mind that no occasion can be more impor-
tant than one which, like the present, in
wolves the political status of the State, and
the direction of its policy with reference
to al domestic and national questions for a
long time to come. 1t nay appear super
duous to enforce these points by arguments,
but the necessity must appear plain to all
who have watched the history of Guberna-
torial elections in this country during the
last twenty years. 1t is remarkable fact
that such elections always fail 10 call out a
full vote.
We, therefore, again urge on those of
our readers who are entitled to vote by the
law, to go forward and register without
delay. There are thousands concerning
whose right there is no question whatever
none that can be raised by even the most
unscrupulous partisan. In the way of
such, we presume that no hindrance ewill
be thrown. AS to others who may have
been excluded by the capricious and lie
gal ruling Of the registers, they, too, will
have an opportunity to be registered as
they comply with the strict letter of the
law

PAYING DEBrs.-One of our religious
exchanges has the following strong remarks
on this subject. They drive the nail on
the head and clinch it
Men may sophisticate as they please
They can never make it right, and all the
bankrupt laws in the universe cannot make
it right for them not to pay their debts
There is sin in this neglect as clear, and
as deserving Of Church discipline as in
stealing or false swearing. He who vio-
lates his promise to pay, or withhold the
payment of debt, when it is in his power
to meet the engagement, ought to feel in
the sight Of all honest men that he is
swindler. Religion may be very com
Portable cloak under which to hide, but if
religion does not make a man deal justly,

KIND WoBDs FOR A "MorHER "-Des-

as mother is as the sun when it goes forth

may be grey-headed, but her motherly re-

with the mother, it is always spring. Alas,
how little do we appreciates mothers ten

when she is dead and gone, when the cares

WHERE DOES THE DAY BEGIE ?-The
first beginning of the day is somewhere
between America and Asia. The precise
locality of that somewhere has not been
determined. If the Pacific Ocean were
thickly populated with men the place of
the beginning of the day would be a mat
ter of great consequence, and would pro-
badly be settled by statute. The day
would start from a meridian line ex-
tending from pole to pole, and the longi-
tude of this day line would be so accu-
rately fixed that man might stand astride
it and realize the paradox of having one
foot in Monday and the other in Tuesday.
Many of the readers Of this will long
enough to hear this matter discussed in
national councils.

PLANT PEAs.-The Southern Recorder
recommends tho farmers to plant peas, as a
means of procuring food for stock at an
early day. It says

tions are quite scarce, planter suggests

planted, stock can be fed from them by
the 1st of July. Plant and cultivate as
you do cotton. A neighboriag farmer
plated two acres last year, and gathered
four large baskets full each day through
the season, with which he fed his plow
stock.
Again-another neighbor's plan used to
be-which is now being fOllOwed-to plant
corn in every other cotton row dropped ten
feet apart. a good crop Of both cotton
and corn may be made.

THE LITTLE GIRL THAT MEETS NE.

There's a little girl that meets me,
and with laughter ever greets me,
and to KISS her oft entreats me,
As / stray
Long the path Of life so drearv,
w here the saddened heart and weary
Shades the sunlight, shining near me
On my way
bhe has Dyes as blue as heaven,
(Only aged about eleven
And unto her God has given
Such heart,
That forever she is singing,
And her sweet voice ever ringing,
Beaaty per the rapt heart bringing,
Sweet as art.
With her sunny hair so curly,
With her teeth so white and pearly,
have met her late and early,
By the way,
And take heT hand and press it
IN my own, Just to caress 1t
Pretty little hand-ifod bless it g.
Z do say.
May the world smile kindly on her,
Benediotions fall upon her,
An gels be her guard Of honor,
As she goes
Through this world of OUs singing,
Peace to troubled spirits bringing,
No grief her pure heart wTinging
With its woes.
4. May the sweetest harp in heaven
Brightest crown that ere was given.
Where the waves Of life are driven
Past the throne
Echo to her dainty finger,
'Pon her pure brow ever inger,
While each Angel be a singer,

Died.

In Washing ton City, District of Column
bia, on Monday, May 18th, 1867, of paraly-
sis, COLUMBIA LIBERTY, after severe and
protracted illness of seven tedious years.
The deceased was born in 1776, of a
poor but respectable couple-Honesty and
Patriotism. The first seven years of her
life were a struggle with misery, even as
were the closing seven. But she grew up
beautiful lass. and made her entree into
society in 1897, win ling the admiration of
friends and the jealousy of rivals. At an
early age she formed tender attachment
for Principle. A happy union followed.
and in the course of events a numerous
offspring rose up to bless her, The duties
Of maternity, however, did not detract
from her beauty, and as she advanced in
years she seemed to increase in loveline5s.
Devoting herself exclusively to the care Of
her numerous family, and sure of the ever
enduring love of her only spouse, the fu-
ture lay before her bright as the vision of
beatitude
But alas for human frailty In an evil
hour, elderly matron though she was, she
listened to the honeyed words of an un-
princiPled young fellow named Radicalism,
not yet out of his teens. She resisted his
advances for a while, but in November,
1860, lost to all sense of womanly dignity,
she abandoned the partner of her youth
and took up with this young scape-grace.
This faar pas created a lamentable dis
turbance In her previously happy family.
Eleven Of her most loving children. refused
to live with this young step-father, and
sought for themselves other homes. For
this piece of oontumacy the wicked step
father disinherited ten of them, and drag
ging the eleventh back to the old home
stead, he inflicted on her untold barbara
ties and outrages. The poor old mother,
heart-brOken by the disgrace of her house
hold, was struck with paralysis, and has
been bed-ridden for several years. The
! physicians who attended her, were chosen
by her unprincipled husband, and the pub
lie opinion is that they were employed to
kill instead of cure, as the old lady was
an obstacle to his ambitious designs on her
property and that of her children. Last
Monday, after unheard of suffering and
anguish, she breathed her last.
