We find the following floating, and do

him to trot. While trotting be equally
careful that he Keeps steady at his pace,
and do not allow him TO slack into a
walk. The rcins, while driving, should
be kept snug and when pushed to the
top of his speed, keep him well in hand,
that he may learn to bear well upon the
bit, SO that when going at high rate of
speed he can be held at his pace; but do
not allow him to pull too hard, for it is
not only unpleasant, but it makes il Of

A. DREAM.

/ saw my lost love yesternight,
My love that died long years ago; -.
She wore robe of virgin white,
Aid on her head crown of light.
She pressed her clay cold lips to mine,
And breathed on me with 10y breath,
Aid spoke in accents sweet aid low,
And said, "fn life, love, l was thine,
And thou wilt soon be mine in death.'
The morning light shines pale and gray.
And she has vanished from my sight;
For the fair form did fade away
At the first sign of dawniDg day
Twas but phantom of the brain,
A thing of naught, an empty breath, 'f
Affecting vision of the night;
But yet-to dream Of her again,
I'd gladly sleep, though sleep were death.

How Elections are Sought 10 be
Decided.

+ One of the most striking provisions
of the act which is entitled, "An act t5
enforce the rights of citizens of the Uni
teG States to vote in the several States"
is in the twenty third or last section of
the bill. 1t provides that wher man
who has been defeated or deprived of
his election to any office, except Pres
idential Eleetor OF a Representative to
Congress or the State Legislature, BY
reason of denying any negro or negroes
the right Of suffrage, he may bfing ali
appropriate suit or proceeding to recoy-
er possession of the Office; and in such
case it may be Instituted in the Circuit
or District Courts of the United States.
Thus, for instance: Mr.. A. ( Democrat
lis elected Governor OF Ohio. Mr.. B.
Republican is inclined to contest it on
the ground that there was an improper
rejection Of negro. votes BY this bill

intent Of this is "to exalt the horn ol

States. The United States judges, who

ENGLAND AND IRELAND.--In addition to
the atrocious laws which England from
time to time passes for the government of
Ireland, the tone of it's press is calculated
to intensity the hatred with which the
Saxon is held. Lecky, the well-known es-
sayist, but no Catholic, thus refers to the
matter:
Such is the past of Englisl, government
of lreland-a tissue of brutality and hypo-
crisy scarcely surpassed in history. Who
would not have imagined that in n more
enlightened age the tone of the British
press towards Ireland would have been at
least moderate, friendly, conciliatory Let
any candid man judge whether it is SO. Let
him observe the prominence given to every
crime that is committed in Ireland, to every
absurdity that can be culled from the Irish
press, to every failure of an Irish move
ment. Let him observe the ceaseless ridi-
cuie, the unwavering contempt, the studied
depreciation of the Irish character and in
tellect habitual in the English newspapers.
Let him observe their persistent refusal to
regard Irish affairs in any light but the
ridiculous, and then answer the question
for himself We believe impartial English
men will scarcely deny, what foreign OBJ
servers unanimously declare, that the OBJ
.ject of the most influential section of the
English press is to discredit the Irish intel
lect and the Irish character before England
and before Europe. AS long as
this tone continues the two nations never
can amalgamate or assimilate, or cordially
cooperate. A war of recrimination is an
evil, but it is a greater evil for a nation to
suffer its character to be frittered away by
calumny yelled in sarcasm and by con-
temptuOus suppression of all facts but
those which tell against itself. AS long as
Englishmen adopt a tone of habitual de-
probation in speaking of the present of
Ireland, Irishmen would betray their coun-
try were they to suffer the curtain to fall
upon its past.

Military Ra6iamism in Kanturk.-The
daily report informs US of series of acts
of the most outrageous and reckless, we
may say murderous, blaguardism, perpe-
trated by lot of miscreants in military
uniform on the peaceable inhabitants of
kanturk. Early in the night of Friday,
the 18th ult., o number of these fellows
were seen beating each other in the market
square of the town. Some passers-by were
SO charitable as to essay the part of peace
makers, but being brutality abused and
threatened for their pains, desisted from
their thankless effort. Presently some
" comrades" of the combatants appeared
upon the scene, and the whole body with
out ~ word of warning tore off their waist
belts-which make dangerous weapons of
attack-and Joined i'll a savage onslaught
against the people, who, as soon as they
recovered from their first surprise, gave
back what they got with interest. The
police came taTdliy, and when they did
come found the fight too desperate and too
general to be affected by their Interference.
The swashbucklers, at last retreating from
the fight, took to stone throwing at the
ignominiOusly driven in to quarters. Ii
have been well enough; but some half
drunken wretches rushed out again in Il
state of furious anger, and, on being re-
captured by the picket sent in hot pursuit,
1T is said that two or three of them were
stabbed. An English paper disingenuously
