The IRISH Republic, the oldest and nfcst
vigorous Irish paper in America, comes
out squarely and strongly for Grant and
Colfax, and urges all Irishmen to vote for
them. Major James Haggerty, of the
glorious Sixty NINTH" is one of the
editors of the Republic.

BRITISH NEUTRALITY LAws.-We
have had, as nation, little experience
with the neutral policy of the British
Government. 1t has not compe led eth
er our admiration or our respect. Nor
has it won from cur people any increased
attachment to ''the mother country -
From her docks and ports issued the AL
ALBANIA and the Shenandoah to prey upon
our commerce. The impotent British
Government asserted that it had no pow
er to prevent the equipment and issue of
such piratical craft.
It seems now, however, that this very
shrewed, law-abiding, precede -adhering
power has discovered the propriety of pre-
pairing itself with authority to act upon
demands that may hereafter be made by
other governments to restrain such ex
petitions, since events are likely to tran
spire hich will render it important that
other powers exercise such restraint in its
behalf. Accordingly the telegraph Las
informed US that the Royal Commission
on the Neutrality Laws has made report
in favor of granting the executive auth
critics additional power to detain ships
supposed to be for belligerent purposes,
and recommending that the building, fit
ting out or manning such vessels in a
British port, be declared misdemeanor
that any ship built in Great Britain in
violation of such rule, shall not be permit
ted to enter any British ports, and their
prizes, if brought within British jurisdio-
ton, shall be returned to the owners

In our streets, in our offices, on our

sleeves" sleeves that the wind blows
against broken ribs, whips abou. Grip
pied bodies; sleeves whose emptiness
tell Of arms blown off In battle; arms
lost in strife for the life of nation; OF
arms shattered with flag in hand
Empty sleeves that speak more clo-
quently than tongue or type Of patriot
ism, of courage, Of faith in the right, of
hope In Justice. Empty sleeves that
tell Of honor upheld, ofa nation saved,
of home defended, of valor, Of daring.
Empty sleeves that tell how desperate
ly Rebellion fought against the life Of
people; empty sleeves that tell how well
the defenders of that people did their
glorious work, empty sleeves that ever
proclaim how lives were risked and
limbs sacrificed In putting down those
who fired on the nations flag aud trail
ed It In the dust; empty sleeves that
constantly rebuke those who did their
utmost to make Slavery national, and
Freedom sectional; empty sleeves that
tell Of southern prisonei of'd.-4 iinsa"
