brations and that of yesterday. The old
rancor seems to have passed out of the
Lodges. The opinion of the world is OPP
posed to their barbarian, and no people
can long defy the derision and contempt of
the world.-NatiOn.

ed to the Lords on many essential princi-
pies while displaying much valor on de-
tails. On the scale they disagreed from
the Lords amendments. On the con-acre
claim the Government admit they were
disposed to agree in omnibus, but were
middle course. They also agreed to set
aside the common-law right of assignment
and substitute the rule of the estate where
ever such rule forbids assignment, thus en-
aiding the bad landlord to override the
common law but, of course, this is to ap-
ants. As regards Ulster, the common law
right is maintained, or rather is not abro-
gated, and thus the line, already broadly
drawn, is made still more Marked
In the original bill some show of regard
was paid to the laborers., No tenant can
give house-roorn for cabin to shelter his
1aborer without being guilty of sub-letting.
To this the Government assented, and
henceforth it viii be penal to build . cot
4age for q tenant. Weregret these unwise
decisions on the part OF the Government.
The labOrers, as q class, are deserving OF q
better fate, and to harbOr and house them
ought not to be decreed q crime subjecting
the tenant to penal consequences. The
principles that have been yielded are, in
our Judgment, far more important than the
details that have been restored.-lbid.
The Late j. Pherson Thompson Darragh).
90 o%nto hot ann
nication from the Home Office was received
on Saturday by Sir John Gray, in reply to
a communication forwarded from Dublin,
stating that the Home Office had issued an
order for having the remains of the late
Mr.. Thompson lDarragh) disinterred, and
the family battle-ground in Ireland. This
intimation by the Home Office has been
made on-a distinct pledge having been
given by all the parties who are interested
in having the dying wish of Thompson,
that his remains should be inferred in his
native land, fulfilled. The brothers of the
deceased, Mr.. Heinrich, Mr.. Hogan and
Mr.. A. M. Sullivan, were mainly instru-
mental, by the distinctness and frankness
of their undertaking that no demonstration
would be made, in securing this result.
To the Editor.
sir-In a special telegram from your
London correspondent, published in your
paper of Saturday, 1 am represented as
being the cause of the Governments re-
fusal to give up the remains of w. p.
Thompson for interment in the soil of Ire-
land You will, / am sure, give me an OPP
portunity of replying to your allegation
and stating the facts of the case. Perhaps
Imight leave the matter as it stood after
the publication of my letter giving the his
tory of the case in the daily press of Dub
lin on Monday last, and 1. certainly would
do SO were not the statements made by your
correspondent personal to, myself That
statement has been before the public for
nearly week, and no person on the part,
of the Home Office has ventured to impugn
it, or to controvert one of the statements
there made. The Daily NeiOs, from which
il seems to me your correspondent has re-
ceive his inspiration, is the only London
journal which has referred to the matter,
and that journal, either to subserve English
interests, or in utter ignorance of the facts
of the case, has misrepresented the matter
in every particular. shall, however, con-
fine myself to the summary furnished by
your correspondent. In the first place it
is not true that single condition of any
kind was imposed on either Mr.. Hogan or
myself in reference of the removal of the
remains to Ireland. 1t was L who wrote
the letter preferring the request relative to
the remains after death. was present In
the governor,s Office in Portland prison
when the information was given that the
Home Secretary had consented to permit
the removal of the body after death. There
was then not a single word exchanged In
reference to how or where the body should
be buried. Mr.. Hogan and myself were
simply informed that the body would Ea
