Webaye little sympathy with those lrishmen
who cherish a prejudice in favor of throwing
vitrol into English faces, and still less with that
class of Englishmen who believe in the process
of stamping.out Irishmen. TO be bitter even
to the extent Of beng virulent may seem nat
ural under peculiar provOcation. TO keep up

treat whole people to legislative

be as imperial as it certainly is cruel But we
object to all these methods OF Irish assertion
or suppression, that they arc not intellectual.
They cultivate bad temper at tho expense OF
sense, and wastefulness at the cost OF reason.
They make tho Irishman reap his harvest IN
continued English misrule, aud the English
man gather his crop in Irish poverty and hate.
For such a condition of things, however, there
is no question that the greatest responsibility
rests with the mightier and more prosperous
race.
Parliament, in both Houses, has finally passed
tho Force bill This bill MEANS as we have
shown, Coercion in one of its most arbitrary
shapes. Our London letter, which records some
of the most intelligent impressions of the mea-

qualified liberality as The Saturday Rerie,r
Mr. Mcguire the Irish Commoner from Cork,
who has nothing to plead in extenuation OF
agrarian crime, declares that Parliament has
legislated in a spirit Of panic and exaegera-
ton Like Moore and the ODOnOghue, the
two most prominent Irish representatives, he
protests that the power given to Justices OF the
Peace to imprsOn his countrymen without trial
will be intrusted to men iDimical and hateful

Mr.. Mcguire is a Journalist, but is forced to
denounce measure which strikes blow at
the liberty of the press that even the French
Emperor has not attempted. Irish journals and
Irish meetings have echoed these denunciations,
and Mr.. Gladstone has succeeded in making
Irishmen. if not unit for the Land bill, at
least q unit against the Force bill.
The English Government has made mistake
"a mistake the more grievous if not atOned
for by the most honest and a~Bls @sssqEs ct
of Mr. Gladstone that tho Land bill involves
the greatest indulgence. tho grandest cOnces-
sion, the highest privilege, ever permitted to
Irshmen by the self sacrificing craftsmanship
of England, will hardly account for his haste
to secure the passage Of the Force bill. Pro-
found must be the necessity which requires
such bill as this, and very remarkable the
virtues of measure calculated to make amends
for it.

The Sunday Mercury, which is the City organ
of the Boulevard Ring" which the tax payers
Of Westchester County have so terribly smashed
in their recent Town Elections, says:
"The of this remarkable change the political
complexion of the next Board of Supervisors Is due
simply to several causes"
No doubt of it One of these is a lack of
votes by the Boulevard swindlers Another is
preponderance of votes on the side of the
taxpayers. third is the inability of the
Ring to count in the election boards as they
do in figuring up the cost of a new Boulevard.
A fourth is the indocility of cells when sub
jected to the three distinct operations of skim
ming, eviscerating, and frying, all at once. A
fifth-but never mind the rest, since the fact
that the plunderers are laid out suffices without
full detail of the ample reasons for it.

It would be eminently absurd in Messrs.
Trumbull, Conkling and Carpenter of the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee, if they were to con-
slider the failure of Senators to adopt their re-
ports without question as quiet hint to re-
sign. Would it not be wiser to take their
action at its real value of comment on the
unproftableness of splitting hairsi In the re-
po Is on Gen. Ames's eligibility, and the Texas
Admission bill, the members of the Committee
strained at very small gnats, though it Is not
to be supposed that they imagined that they
were gulpng down the largest-sized camels.
The definition of "inhabitant" was not
proper subject for fortnght's debate IN the
Senate. No more time should have been spent
on the clause in the Texas bill authorizing
Slavery than was required to run through it
the obliterating pen-stroke of the member who
first discovered its defect. The Committee has
no occasion to resign; but we beg it to waste
no more of its own time and that OF the SEN
ate in originating issues unworthy of serious
consideration

The Hon. JOSEPH c. G. KENNEDY. late Superin-
tendent of the T. s. Census. in partnership with his
son, Lieut. Kennedy, late U. S. Army, has opened an
office in Washington City for the sale of Southern
and Western lands. Mr.. Kennedy's intimate knowl-
edge of the resources and characteristics of every
section of our Union eminently qualify him for this
undertaking. and we are confident that all who in
quire OF him for eligible farms or larger tracts will
find his list of places for sale very long one, and
his facilities for suiting them as to climate, soil
water timber, &C.. very great. We heartily CON-
mend his firm to all who would either buy or sell

United States Treasurer Spinner is known to
be very careful thinker, who expresses him
self in very positive terms, and who more
over, acts on his conclusions. He has written
his opinions on that clause of the Funding bill
which affects the National Banks; and the officers
of those institutions i'll particular and the
public in general may read them elsewhere
with profit and pleasure. 1t will be seen that
he goes further than Secretary Boutwell, in his
demands on the Banks. and las even greater
confidence in the ability to fund the debt in
Europe Mr.. Spinner believes that it would be
no more than just if the Government should
insist that the National Banks replace their
present deposits by stocks bearing as low
as four per cent interest; and that it Is
the patriotic duty of the Banks to
acduiesce in the requirement now made. His
arguments on this point Ought to have, and
will doubtless have, their full weight with the
Ways and Means Committee, in which the bill
now hangs, the bone of contention being this
very clause, which few National Banks look
upon as unjust. Mr. Spinner believes that the
loan contemplated by the bill can be negotiated
in Europe at four per cent There remains
hardly doubt of it if the proposed machinery
for negotiating the loan be retained in the bill.
1t is encouraging to know that the bill is to be
finally considered in Committee to-day. WE
whether the Tariff is Immediately disposed of or
DELAYED. 1t is stated that the Committee VIII
favor the National Bank clause as it now stands,
and that the pruning by the House will not
materially alter the bill as it came from the
Senate, or unfavOrably affect it on its return
thither.

Conflicting statements have appeared In our
columns with regard to the result of the Town
Election in Somers, Westminster County, which
involves the political complexion of the Board,
otherwise composed of II Republicans and IL
Democrats The facts are as follows:
On opening the ballot-box 295 votes were
found therein, whereof two were folded or
stuck together. These were both for iced
<rvp..,,,iv--,, III ----~ Jo~t-,vad nv tho In
spectors. leaving to be counted iced 146, Mar
shall (Dem) 147. Hereupon, Marshall was de-
clared elected. But the poll-list shows that
205 votes were cast being exactly the number
found in the box, including the two that came
out together and the law prescribes that such
votes shall be counted whenever they do not
make the total vote overrun that shown by the
pOll-list. Mr.. iced must, therefore, be ac-
corded the post, making the Board stand 10
Republicans to II Democrats. We believe no
Republican Board of Supervisors was ever
elected in that county till now
Somers is a decidedly Republican town, Civ

1862 for Hoffman, and Sigel in go 149 votes to

soldiers TO commit perjury. and swear that they

II you desire that TUE TRIBUNE should be right you

friend aud servant. BENZ. +. BUTLER
Washington, April 2, 1870
Remarks.-Gen. Butler, we will presume,
thinks he objected to Capt. Corners admission
as a Member purely on moral grounds, and
would have objected just the same had Capt
C.. been a Republican. We judge him mis-
taken on both points-judge that C.'s perverse
politics were the real impulse to BIS opposi-
ton, and the alleged negro-whipping only the
weapon which came to his hand and was used
with the utmost possible effect. Others being
aware of the facts, will form their own conclu-
sions. They had our report of the action OF the
House at the same time with our comment.
We certainly believe that the House acted
judiciously and decided wisely in the premises.
If the character of every Member elect is to
undergo a preliminary scrutiny and approval
before he is admitted to his seat, the organl-
cation of the House must prove slow busi-
ness hereafter. We prefer the risk OF Wilkes
Booths election to the anarchy which such a
principle must inaugurate. Ed

We publish fun report of the arguments
made on Saturday in the case of John Foley
against Henry Smith, contesting the appoint
ment of the latter as Supervisor. The claim
of Mr.. Foley is made on the ground of Mr..
Smiths ineligibility under State laws, he hold
ing the Office of Police Commissioner at the
time of the election. The general defense set
up was that eligibility to Office was and could
be defined only by the Constitution. The de-
cision of the Court, which will be looked for
with interest was reserved.

Having thus given our Montana friends
conspicuous setting forth OF their 0wn una
bridged version of the matter in dispute, we
ask them not to talk further of "a misrepre-
" sentation of facts" We take their own YER
sion of the facts, and proceed thereon to OBJ
serve that
1. They do not deny the wholesale slaughter
of Indian women and children in what they
term "the chastisement" of the Piegans. We
NAV take that, therefore, as admitted.
Q. They talk of repeated acts of murder and
"pillagen by the Indians, but are silent as to
similar acts BY Whites whereof Indians were
victims. Yet all men do know that such acts
have been and are perpetrated by our 'front.'
ier,men - often wantonly and barbarousy.

3. They demand that the Indians shall be
" rgdly confined to reservations al a aS'dsce
(" from White settlements" But how Is tns
possible, since our settlements or our pros
pecters are every where 1t was once possible
To drive the Indians toward the setting sun ;
since we have overspread the continent ana
planted ourselves by the Pacific, this cannot
be. There is no region where wild Indians
have a right to be if not in Montana ana 10
SAY that they must not be there is to assume
that they must no longer exist.
q. If the hardy adventurer. who seeks 10
"deyelop the resources of the country frightens
off or appropriates the Indians game (whlch
are his focks and herds-his subsistence,) I'M
dermines his cabin, digs up his patch OF grain
or vegetables, and lin short starves the Indian
to deaths door, we do not know about Sc
"verity of retaliation" being the right treat
ment in case he resists.
8. We think Indians have some rights when
"Whites are bound to respect" MIR. Cava'
naugh's constituents think otherwise. Ihey
evidently believe the rights of Indians exactly
similar 10 those of bears, wolves, deer, and
buffaloes. They will have to allow us tc
dissent.
