PAWS AND PENALTIES IN IRE

LAND
3 queen Victoria has signed the s'bill for
the enforcement of the laws, and the bet
ter preservation Of the peace in Ireland, .
commQnly called the Irish force bill. If
Victoria were a great Queen, instead of
only a good Queen, ambitious of doing
something for the benefit of the Irish
people, she would have had tempting op-
portunity to show her greatness in with
holding her assent from measure of this
doubtful character. Not tp have approved
that bill would have given her popular
ity in Ireland which the much needs
there, at the same time that the moral
effect of her 81 forbid" would have beer
immense, on he side of law and order.
AS it is, one is forced to the conclusion
that Queen and Parliament alike, now,
are done with Cancellation, and are going
to try the old experiment of coercion.
How strong that coercion is to be, the
reader may judge from the following
abstract from some of its leading provis-
ions:
THE USE OF ARMS.
By section 6, persons living in a pro-
claimed district, and licensed to kill
game, are no longer to carry arms without
license from justice of the peace, nor
are they to have arms in their possession
after notice in proper form requiring them
to deliver them up. Not even licensed
party is to carry, or after notice TO retain,
a revolver in proclaimed district with
out q special permit, and if either of
these provisions be violated, the offender
is under section z to be liable tonotmore
than two years. imprisonment, with or
without hard labor. The provisions of
two statutes are applied by the Sth Sec
ton to prevent and punish tumultuous
risings in proclaimed districts. The 10th
section makes a search warrant for arms
stand good for three months, and gives
power to its holders to make a forcible
entry into houses.

WHEREAS, The city of New Orleans IS be-
coming involved in litigation with several
OF the railroad companies coming within the
limits OF the city with their several lines of
roads. and whereas several of such COM
pauies are also becoming involved with each
other III litigation, all growing out of con-
filcting views and conflicting interests in
relation to the claiming and occupancy of
| certain grounds by such several roads.
And whereas, Such strife, if allowed TO
continue. will disturb the harmony of feeling
and damage the prosperity of both the city
and the railroad companies.
And whereas, There should be the hignes.
reciprocity between the city and the roads,
each needing each other, the prosperity Of
either contributing directly to the prosperity
of the other.
And whereas, This Council is not insensible
| to the great importance ofrailroad commerce
| to our city, nor is it unmindful of the city's
| duty to afford every facility she can to rail-
road enterprises consistent with the foster
ing care she owes to other enterprises and
interests;
And whereas, 1t is with deep concern and
regret that we note the fact that two rail.
road companies have laid the lines of their
roads upon the entire length Of the active
part OF our levee, thereby greatly interfe--
ing with and damaging our noble river and
ocean commerce, SO great source of
wealth, and OF which our city is Justly so
proud.
And whereas, In the judgment of this
Council an amicable adjustment Of this
whole question of locating the several lines
of railroads within our city may be made
mutually beneficial by the adoption of lines
OF approach by the Pontchartrain Railroad
Company, the New Orleans, Mobile and
Chattanooga Railroad Company and the
New Orleans, Jackson and Great Northern
haliroad Company in the rear of the city,
to to point say in the vicinity of the New
Basln, thence coming TO the front, on the
pank OF the river on one common line;
therefore be it
Reso!red, That committee of two mem
oers OF this Council, with the Mayor, are
hereby charged with the consideration of
the matters above mentioned, and are su-
tnorized to confer with the repre- sentsttves
OF the railroad companies, with view of an
adjustment that will subserve the interests
Of the public.
