A Good Example Of Justice in Brooklyn.
The punishment of highwsymen, burglars
and garroters means the security of peaceful
and respectable citizens The public, there
fore, know how to appreciate the honesty and
frmness Of Judges who give this class of ras-
Gals their due. We have an energetic City
Judge--now on the briny wave--who does not
spare crime when it comes before him in
convicted form. He has set good example
in dealing with criminals who are alike the
danger and the terror of society-fellows who
would cut your throat for dollar or break
into your house for silver spoon. We are
glad to see that Judge Troy, of Brooklyn, has
inhicting summary punishment upon two
ruflians who attacked, garroted and robbed a
New York lawyer within a short distance Of
his own home in Brooklyn. The Judge sent
both of them to the State Prison for terms of
fifteen and ten years, where they can mediate
upon the atrocity of robbing a lawyer, or any
other man.
Such exercise Of the judicial authority is
lust what we want to break up these organized
gangs who infest the community. These fell
lows rely as much upon the leniency of the
courts as they do upon their own skill to COM
init crime successfully and to escape its pen
atty by avoiding arrest and prosecution.
They should be taught that justice is swift and
sure, and that the bench is not to be polluted
by the filthy stream which floats upon the sur
face Of all our political institutions. Therefore
Judge Troy did well in putting these enemies
Of society out OF harms way for some years to
come

DooroRING THE INDIAN IN New YORK
Now we are clearly organizing chorus of
Indian shriekers. Just as we used to be deaf
ened by the freedom shriekers when the nigger
was the great topicas all the unoccupied old
ladies who do the humanitarian gable gave
their attention to that man and brother-so
now it is all Indian and philanthropy, and the
barbarism of our conduct nationally. Exactly
the same class Of people take up all the isms and

il is an intellectual satisfaction to see that so

Consress-The Enforcemeut Of tho Eiis
teenfh Amendment- -Disorderly scenes In
the House.
The enforcement OF the fifteenth amendment
was, Of course, the great subject in the Senate
yesterday. A night session was determined
upon to close at what we feared would be an
endless flow Of words, by final action on the
bill, but at the last hour the Senators, with a
display Of good sense and fine taste almost
unparalleled in the annals of Washington legis-
lation, concluded it would be better to attend
Senator Stocktons silver wedding. Among
other matters before the Senate during the day
was resolution presented by Mr.. Pomeroy
asking the President to open negotiations
with Great Britain for on honorable
union of the British North American
possessions with the United States. 1t was
laid on the table and ordered to be printed.
The time is very opportune for the opening Of
such negotiations, which are otherwise likely
to be made at some time in the future when,
perhaps, they may not be received so reason
ably as it is probable they would be now The
accommodating troubles and disatfection in the
New Dominion and our claims against England
all combine to give us an advantage over that
haughty government at present, and we could
feel assured that such a proposition, even II
not accepted immediately would receive very
respectful consideration.
In the House the shipping interest bill was
considered until the expiration of the morning
hour, when it went over until Tuesday. The
Diplomatic Appropriation bill was then taken
up in Committee of the Whole, and, as usual,
created an exciting discussion. The House
can get excited over almost any kind Of bill that
comes up though we believe that it never made
merry over Tariff bill until the last one was
before it, and we have been little surprised
that they have kept such digniGed front on
the shipping interest bill, but we hardly
expected them to be otherwise than
excited either in a Jolly or bitter
sense over the diplomatic bill 1t is such a
gttering subject, dealing as it does with
kings and courts, plain suits and court
dresses-things that plain republicans, like
members Of the House, do not often have a

make the most of it when they get it. The
greatest excitement yesterday grew out of a
proposed amendment by Mr.. Brooks to accredit
Minister Plenipotentiary to Rome. 1t called
forth more religious sentiment than the House
was ever known to indulge in before, and it
naturally brought up "reminiscences of the
| Salem witches and Know Nothingism, and even
opened up new authorities on the effect and
tenor of the Syllabus. 1t also called forth some
astonishing personal statements, some ex-
tremely unparliamentary language and some
very disorderly scenes.

Plenty of Troops to n eep the Peace.
TORONTO, May 30.-Despatches from Buffalo
say there are in that city about 1900 Fenians,
who express their determination to make raid
in some locality, but being without organization
or anybody capable of leading them, no attack
may be feared This opinion is from source
usually considered good.
A despatch from Port Colborne says the
people there expect that an attempt will be
made to break the Welland Canal, but as there
are plenty of troops inithe vicinity, there is
really not much danger of the success of any
such undertaking. Three hundred Red River
troops and one company of regulars are under
arms here, ready to move to Port Colborne or
elsewhere if occasion requires.
The Red River troops we're to start for Fort
William tomorrow, but will now probably be
detained as a precaution. The general wish
here is that the Fenians will come across and be
so thoroughly beaten that the "sunburst" would
be thoroughly eclipsed, and an end put to the
present suspense.
A tremendous fire swept over a vast tract of
woods near Fort William, at Thunder Bay, May
1S. The burned district is on the route of the
Red River expedition, and will give some
trouble in making road.

years of patient toll and preparation-the issue
of this movementhas demonstrated the propriety
of the action of the legitimate authority of the
Fenian Brotherhood, who warned the people not
to be drawn into an attempt which was never
sanctioned by them, because Ii had not been based
upon preparations sufficient to warrant the ex-
pectation of success. But while the failure of
this expedition has proved the wisdom of those
who foresaw the disastrous results, it has also
proved the readiness of the Irish people to
make every sacrifice that could be demanded of
them upon even the bare chance of advancing
in any way the cause of their country. The
patriotism they have exhibited needs only con-
centration upon the object to be attained to
develop power which nothing can oppose; but
that power can only be successfully applied by
means of thorough organization and obedience
to the rules, upon which the stability of all or
ganizations depends.
The past history of the Fenian Brotherhood
teaches that all the evils from which it has suf-
fered, and the losses thereby entaied upon the
cause of Ireland, have flowed from departure
from this principle, and from resistance to the
laws which the prople themselves had made for
their government. To remedy these evils and
obviate the danger of their repetition, an imme-
diate return to that principle of obedience and
discipline, in which alone safety can be found
is absolutely necessary. The members of the
organization are therefore required to comply
with the provisions of the constitution, and
place their circles forthwith in direct communi-
cation with the central Office of the brotherhood.
Measures have been taken to secure, as far as
possible, the property of the organization from
loss or destruction, and the results, as soon as
ascertained will be communicated officially.
In the meantime the members of the Fenian
Brotherhood should bear in mind that as the
attempt of General O'Neill upon the Canadian
territory was undertaken against the author
ity of the Brotherhood, its failure cannot be
recognized as q defeat of the national organi-
zation, and that the efforts which England has
been compelled to put forth to meet this attack,
ill-timed and ill-advised as it was only showed
how much she would have to dread from COM
bined and well-matured movement of the Irish
people under competent military leaders
The misconduct of few irresponsible men
may have postponed for short period the day
of Ireland's deliverance but the sacred duty
of accomplishing that deliverance can never
be ignored by our people; it shall not now be
abandoned even for a day by those who have
put their hands to the work, and the events of
the past few months prove conclusively that
neither knavery nor statecraft can avail to pre-
vent the advent of the glorious day of Irish
independence. JAMES GIBBONS,
Chairman Executive Council F. b.
