go 60 LOuCh, anu ne CanvaSSeO the county;
but he had so little success that he did not
go to The poll. And viscount Gormanston
did, in that very month, get an English
peerage, and soon afterwards took his seat;
and though Roman Catholic, voted
against the Irish Church Bill. He was, in
deed, the only Roman Catholic who so
voted. Here, then, is sequency, if not
propter hoo. Strong cause for suspicion, il
not proof. The Irish Liberals unanimously
assert that it is all true. But What if it is
Has not the like of it been frequently done
Tortured to Madness.-IAe case of Colonel
Burke.-Colonel Richard Burke, writes
the correspondent of the Irish Times
is hopelessly insane. He was removed
last month from Chatham to Working, only
however, to exhibit more dangerous and
decided symptoms of insanity.
Mr.. Mccarthy Downing interceded with
the Home Secretary on behalf of the unfor-
tunate man; but Mr. Bruce promptly re-
fused any intercession for mercy in this
case, on the ground OF Burke's completely
in the Clerkenwell explosion. This fact
was sent to the Postal Telegraph Depart
ment last night, for transmission on the
Irish Times special wire, but, in common
with a quantity of other important iutelli-
gence, it was suppressed, owing either to
atmospheric defiections," or to other
causes which Mr.. Scudamore, probably,
may be able to explain.
Catholic Ba=aars.-Nothing abashed by
the somewhat severe rebuke administered
to him the other evening by the Chief
Secretary for Ireland. when answering
some question having reference to a lottery
for the benefit ofth est. Clare Orphanage"
in Dublin, Mr.. Charley intends again ad-
verting to the subject by moving for copies
and December Hast, between the Secretary
of the Scottish Reformation Society and
the First Lord of the Treasury, respecting
Catholic lotteries in England, and of cor
respondence in the months of January and
February last, between the Secretary of
Home Secretary respecting the same.
The SPY System.-The public of this
county should remember that informers and
spies are now engaged professionally" in
this county. The disciples of burglary
carry with them their "jemmy's," Sc
the instruments of the profession:" the
hangman is a permanent public function
airy" the finisher of the law"-and avoids
society; but the spy and the informer
carries with him lying tongue and dor
mant conscience to trade abroad perpetually
upon the social destruction aud life blood,
if necessary-of his fellow man. We warn
the people that spies disguised in every
conceivable guise are abroad and amongst
us.
Mr.. II. G.. Moore in remarking in the
House of Commons on the dismissal of
Capt. Coot, said that if the Captain had
done all the things of which he had been
accused he had only followed the practice
that had, in political cases, been habitually
sanctioned by the Irish executive (hear,
hear, and laughter.) AS one instance out
of many that might be cited, he would
mention that though the county of Cork
had q population of 100000 Catholics
against $4,000 Professionals, at the time of
the Fenian trials in 1865, q jury panel was
called, composed of 800 Protestants and 40
Catholics.
